Fang Tianhua left Xianling Sect in a daze.
Standing at the foot of Xianling Sect's mountain, Fang Tianhua only regained his senses after a long time. He looked in the direction of the Imperial Capital and recalled the words of Xianling Patriarch. Finally, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Two days later, Fang Tianhua arrived at the Imperial City and found the Su Clan, making his intentions clear.
With the help of the Su family, Fang Tianhua was able to enter the palace to meet the Emperor.
Ying Feng sat on the throne in the palace. He looked at Fang Tianhua who was in the center of the palace with a smile in his eyes.
"Fang Tianhua greets Your Majesty!" For the first time, Fang Tianhua felt the majesty and terror of the Imperial Palace.
As the alliance leader of a local noble, although Fang Tianhua was suppressed by Xianling Sect, he still had great power and influence. He could even decide the life and death of others with a single word in the Eastern Jiuzhou.
But now, in the Imperial Palace, the formless majesty made him feel a chill in his heart, and he was extremely afraid.
Under the gaze of the Emperor, he felt like an ordinary person. As long as the Emperor said a word, he could kill him.
"Fang Tianhua, why aren't you staying in your Eastern Hua Province to see me?”Ying Feng asked Fang Tianhua in a faint voice. His voice reverberated throughout the hall, continuously attacking Fang Tianhua's soul.
"This subject is guilty!" Fang Tianhua's expression changed for a moment before it finally turned into determination and he knelt down.
"Oh, what crime do you have? Why didn't I know?!" Ying Feng strangely smiled and said after hearing it.
"This subject has let down Your Majesty and Great Qin. I have done many things that have gone against Your Majesty and Great Qin's interests.”Fang Tianhua recounted his crimes one by one, his head lowered to the ground.
"How dare you! As a noble, you didn't think about treating the people well and serving the court. Instead, you joined forces with the local aristocratic families to cause trouble for Great Qin.”Ying Feng said in a cold voice after hearing this. His dignified voice was like the might of the heavens, causing Fang Tianhua to feel as if he couldn't breathe.
"This subject is guilty!" Fang Tianhua's heart trembled and he was also a little terrified. He was really afraid that the Emperor would use this opportunity to kill him.
"You are guilty, but I think that you have realized your mistakes and repented. You can be encouraged to die, but you can't escape punishment. Now, I will strip you of your position as a noble and put you under the jurisdiction of Divine Constable Zhang Liang as a guilty person.”Just as Fang Tianhua's heart was filled with fear, the Emperor's majestic voice rang out once again, causing him to be momentarily stunned before feeling delighted.
"This subject is willing!" Fang Tianhua kowtowed in gratitude.
Although he had been stripped of his position as a marquis, and he was still guilty, he had been given an important position by the Emperor. This was a good start. It was much better than being on tenterhooks when he was a marquis, afraid that the Emperor would send people to kill him one day.
From now on, he no longer had to be afraid.
"Very good, it seems that I did not misjudge you. However, before you go to Divine Constable Zhang Liang, I hope that you will return to the Eastern Nine Provinces and help me deal with the matters of the other nobles. Do you understand what to do?" Ying Feng said indifferently.
"This subject obeys the decree!" Fang Tianhua's heart trembled when he heard this, and he immediately accepted the order.
Those who were unwilling to plead guilty would only die, and their entire family would be exterminated!
Fang Tianhua left the palace with a trembling heart. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he was out of the palace. He turned back to look at the majestic palace and his fear of the Emperor increased.
He now seemed to understand Immortal Spirit Ancestor's choice.
"The local nobles 'interest groups are finished, so I'll start first!”Fang Tianhua muttered to himself. He then left the Imperial City and headed towards the east.
The Eastern Nine Provinces had a huge change because of Fang Tianhua's choice.
At the city gates of the Imperial City, a figure entered. He held a black longsword in his hand and looked calmly at the two sides of the street.
"After not coming to the Imperial City for so many years, the Imperial City has become much more prosperous than before, and the commoners are smiling even more. Great Qin's Emperor, I, Zhao Jianyi, have come. Let me see if you are worthy of my loyalty!”
The person who came was the Immortal King expert Zhao Jianyi who had repaired his broken sword. Not long ago, he challenged Ximen Chuixue in the forbidden area of the Jian Province and was defeated by Ximen Chuixue with a single sword strike. He then received guidance from Ximen Chuixue to walk the path of the sword again, and his strength increased greatly.
Because Ximen Chuixue had said that Great Qin needed experts, they had come to the Imperial City.
Zhao Jianyi was a person who clearly distinguished kindness and hatred. He was born in Great Qin and was influenced by the Sword Dao of Great Qin's Ying Imperial Family's Celestial Emperor, Ying Jiansheng, and thus walked the path of the Sword Dao.
When he had forgotten about the Heart of the Sword, he had received guidance from Ximen Chuixue, an expert of the Imperial Family, and was now on the right path.
These were all favors, so Zhao Jianyi had to repay them.
If the current Emperor received his approval, he would pledge his loyalty to the Emperor. If not, he would leave. However, before he left, he would do something for the Imperial Family to repay the favor.
In the main hall of the Imperial Palace, Zhao Jian had been facing Ying Feng, who was sitting high on the throne. Ying Feng was also looking straight at Zhao Jian.
"You have the unyielding sword!" Ying Feng laughed softly. At the same time, he withdrew his gaze.
"The Emperor also has the might of an Emperor!" Zhao Jianyi also withdrew his goal and said calmly.
"My power has just condensed not long ago, so you can look straight at me. But in the future, that may not be the case. Can you tell me your choice now?”Ying Feng smiled indifferently after hearing this.
It was naturally a good thing to be able to obtain Zhao Jian's loyalty. If not, then it was nothing.
He and Great Qin would only become stronger and stronger.
"I am willing to listen to Your Majesty's orders!" Zhao Jian bowed, but his voice was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Very good, you won't regret your choice today. Divine Constable Chen Lang is guarding the western nine provinces, but the combat strength he controls is a little weak. Go to the western nine provinces to find him and help him stabilize the situation!”Ying Feng looked at Zhao Jianyi, who was bowing, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Then, he made arrangements for Zhao Jianyi.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Jianyi's expression was calm as he directly received the order and left.
"True swordsmen indeed have their own personalities!”Being able to obtain Zhao Jianyi's loyalty was a pleasant surprise, and it allowed Ying Feng's control over his power to increase.
