A cold and indifferent voice sounded in Lin Xiao's mind.
Accompanied by the sound of "binding successful"
A small memory surged into his mind.
The voice in his mind came from the system called Supreme Emperor!
As long as there were enough spirit stones, anything in the world could be bought from it.
In addition to the mall, one could also spend a certain amount of spirit stones to choose different levels of the lottery.
Lin Xiao was not surprised by the system that had just awakened.
This was because a few months ago, when the Li Fire Monarch left behind an edict and left alone, he had already received a hint.
Ascending to the throne was the condition to activate the system!
However, before the ceremony was over, Lin Xiao put the system aside.
He looked around and finally stopped at the envoys.
"Why…why aren't you kneeling?"
An indifferent voice came out of Lin Xiao's mouth and was clearly transmitted to the ears of the envoys from various countries.
The faces of all the envoys turned pale.
But soon, someone walked out and cupped his fists."
"Reporting to Emperor Xiao, although we are emissaries from a small country, we do not belong to a dynasty. Moreover, even the Li Fire Monarch has never made us kneel. I believe that Emperor Xiao will not mind, right?”
Even though it had always been an unwritten rule not to bow to the ruler of another country, none of the emissaries dared to say anything in response.
All of them couldn't help but curse this person for being an idiot.
He first flattered the other party before tactfully informing him of the rules.
With the other party's identity, he would not be too calculative.
However, this person had brought up the previous emperor!
It also happened to be Emperor Xiao's ascension and he needed to establish his might.
Wouldn't this be akin to running into the muzzle of a gun?
"Since when did the affiliated kingdoms have the confidence to say such things?”
Lin Xiao looked at the envoy with a faint smile.
One had to know that the Li Fire Empire dominated the North Region!
Of the 19 states of the north region, the dynasty occupied 13 of them!
The other six provinces were not impossible to take down!
However, at that time, the Li Fire Monarch had already broken through to the Immortal Martial realm. He had a certain sense and was unwilling to provoke unnecessary karma.
Thus, he directly issued an edict to all the countries to become affiliated with the dynasty! Every year, they had to pay a large number of spirit stones.
This gave the countries a chance to survive.
However, how many years had passed?
Did he really think of himself as an independent country?
Facing Lin Xiao's question, the envoy's face flushed red.
Even though the other party was telling the truth, the words 'affiliated kingdom' really hurt his heart.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Lin Xiao interrupted him, waved his sleeve, and shouted,""The entire world is the land of the king, and the shores of the land are the subjects of the king!”
"Remember, from this year onwards, the tributes from the various countries will be doubled, and you must call yourselves affiliated countries! There must be no mistakes!"
At this point, a cold light flashed in his eyes."The former emperor was kind, but it doesn't mean that I'm equally kind!”
The faces of the envoys below all turned pale.
The person who spoke earlier widened his eyes.
The country he came from was already barren. It was already quite difficult for him to gather the resources to pay tribute.
If it was doubled on top of the previous base…
He thought about how he would be condemned by everyone after this order was sent back to his country.
The envoy couldn't help but be filled with grief and indignation, and his remaining rationality was completely washed away.
"Stupid ruler! What a fatuous ruler!"
"How dare you!"
Li Haoran, who had been standing silently at the side, suddenly roared with rage.
His voice was like thunder that instantly exploded in the ears of the messenger!
Screams resounded throughout the entire arena!
The emissary covered his bleeding ears, his expression filled with pain.
Two imperial guards strode over and pressed the messenger to the ground, ignoring his struggles.
The rest of the emissaries subconsciously retreated to the side.
"How can you spout nonsense about the supreme body of Emperor Xiao?”
Li Haoran coldly glanced at the envoy, then looked at Lin Xiao. He cupped his hands and did not say anything else.
It was obvious that he had handed the decision to Lin Xiao.
Of course, the reason why he protected Lin Xiao so much was not because he was loyal to him.
What he was loyal to was this vast Li Fire!
Even though it sounded like there was no difference, in reality, this was a primary and secondary relationship.
It could be said that as long as the Li Fire Empire was still around, even if the Sovereign Lord was not Lin Xiao, he would still do his duty as a subject like today.
If the monarch is humiliated, the minister will die!
Lin Xiao was very self-aware and naturally guessed Li Haoran's thoughts.
Therefore, he did not feel smug because of the respect from a dignified Life and Death Realm expert.
After pondering for a moment, under the gaze of countless people, he calmly said,
"Slash!"
Although his tone was calm, anyone could hear the unquestionable tone!
This was definitely not a joke!
Countless people's expressions changed!
This new emperor…was ruthless!
As for the envoy, he was struck by lightning and was stunned on the spot. He felt as if the sky was about to collapse.
"Your Majesty, today is the day you ascend to the throne. If your head falls to the ground, I'm afraid it's unlucky…"
Li Haoran frowned and wanted to dissuade him.
However, Lin Xiao's expression was ice-cold. He did not say a word and only stared fixedly at the two Imperial Army soldiers holding down the emissary.
Although Li Haoran was a loyal official, his words were all focused on his master.
But so what?
Lin Xiao was the real Sovereign Lord of this dynasty!
No one could question his decision!
The two Imperial Army soldiers looked at Li Haoran and then at Lin Xiao. When they noticed the other party's expression, they could not help but grit their teeth.
One of them even pulled out a long blade and aimed it at the head of the messenger, slashing it down ruthlessly!
The ice-cold blade turned into a cold light and slashed across his neck!
"Pfft!" The huge head was directly chopped off! Blood splattered everywhere!
Immediately, there was silence.
The emissaries felt their legs go weak.
Cold sweat kept oozing out of his forehead.
At this time, even if they were dissatisfied with the double tribute, they did not dare to show it.
"Plop!"
An envoy could no longer withstand the immense pressure and directly knelt down towards Lin Xiao!
And this was the beginning!
In a short period of time, the hundred envoys knelt down! Bow down!
What dignity, what rules, they were all bullshit!
To put it bluntly, in front of the Li Fire Empire, the so-called affiliated kingdoms were no different from dogs!
If he was in a good mood, he might even be able to reward him with something.
However, if they were unhappy, no one would dare to say anything even if they were beaten to death!
They should have understood this principle long ago!
Unfortunately, people always liked to deceive themselves and were immersed in it, unwilling to extricate themselves!
However, all his fantasies were so fragile in front of that bloody head! It shattered instantly!
It seemed that he had underestimated Emperor Xiao!
Li Haoran was silent, but he could not help but sigh in his heart.
As for the envoy who was killed?
So what if he was killed? At most, it would just be a little inauspicious.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
At this moment, a voice broke the silence.
