The civil and military officials all paid their respects. Only General Wang Li, who was like a stray dog, stubbornly lay on the ground and refused to kneel.
Ye Xingyun's eyes flashed coldly as he thought, Those who oppose me will die!
"Prime Minister Wei, prepare the decree."”
Hearing this, the old Prime Minister Wei Zheng quickly stepped forward and bowed, listening to the orders of the Prince Regent.
The dignified Fuma Ye said coldly,"General Wang Li has offended his superiors and is unforgivable. From now on, the post of general will be abolished. At noon tomorrow, the head of the general will be beheaded in front of the public. In addition, the commander of the Royal Guards, Murong Qiu, has made great contributions in protecting the Emperor. He will take over the position of General.”
A moment later, the dejected general was dragged away by the golden-armored guard.
Under the intimidation of the young Fuma's heaven-defying battle prowess, he could not muster up any thoughts of resistance.
"I am Murong Qiu, thank you for your kindness, Prince Regent! In this life, he would not refuse to go through fire and water again!”
The silver-armored General Murong was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He kowtowed to Ye and Yun, who were sitting on the dragon throne in the main hall.
He didn't expect that his unintentional act of protecting Prince Consort Ye would bring him such great luck.
Murong Qiu made up his mind that he would follow the Prince Consort's lead in the future.
The general was a first-grade general with 200,000 soldiers under him. He was a powerful and influential person.
All the officials in the hall had no objections to the Prince Consort's actions.
Everyone respected and feared this Prince Regent. This person's strength was extraordinary and he was decisive in killing. Fortunately, rewards and punishments were fair. This might not be a bad thing for the future of Cloud Sky Empire.
"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, withdraw!" Ye Xingyun waved his hand lazily and said to the officials impatiently.
He obviously didn't have much patience to continue sitting on the cold golden dragon throne.
He even felt that this dragon throne was dull and rigid. It was just that. It was not as soft and comfortable as sitting on a beauty.
Ye Xingyun pulled Princess Yunyun's snow-white hand and motioned for the two to leave the throne room.
Princess Yun Yun saw that it was the first time Prince Consort Ye went to court today and that his purpose of establishing his name and prestige had been achieved. She happily followed Ye Xingyun and left the throne room. The civil and military officials also dispersed.
......
Harem Royal Garden
Under a pavilion by the lake, Princess Yun Yun had already dismissed the palace maids and eunuchs, leaving only Ye Xingyun by her side.
Yun Yun elegantly peeled an orange and handed it to Ye Xingyun with a smile.
She then teased," Prince Consort Qian Sui, you're so powerful today. That General who has 200,000 soldiers in his hands killed him just like that. He didn't even ask for his opinion before he beheaded Wang Li. After all, he's the Princess!"”
"My good disciple, this is my fault! Isn't it good for me to help you get rid of the traitor that your Cloud Empire can't kill?”Ye Xingyun took the peeled orange from Yun Yun and started eating it slowly.
"Hehehe…You already knew that I didn't blame you, right? Master, you're a bad person." Princess Yun used her warm and clear voice to feign anger.
Her beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately stared at the young Swordsman beside her."Master did a great job in the morning court today. First, he showed off his terrifying combat strength to intimidate the eighth level Mystic King Realm general, Wang Li, and used his absolute strength to clear his name as the Prince Regent.”
"After that, he decisively beheaded that traitor, and in the end, he rewarded and punished the newly promoted general, Murong Qiu, so that he would submit to him. This move was exquisite and unparalleled. Fuma, you are really a genius in governing the country!”
Ye Xingyun smiled helplessly." I'm just acting according to my heart. I'm acting according to my nature. I'm not bound by any restrictions. I'm just acting according to my heart." It has nothing to do with the way you govern the country.”
"Humph! Didn't I say that you're not allowed to call me Your Majesty? It's disgraceful. Why does the Fuma insist on doing this?”Princess Yun Yun said in a coquettish voice.
Ye Xingyun didn't say anything else. After finishing the mandarin that Yun Yun had personally peeled, he said to Princess Yun seriously,""Yun 'er, let's get down to business. I've heard a little about the Cloud Sky Ancient Town. Tell me, what do I need to do?”
Hearing this, Yun Yun quietly stared at Ye Xingyun. A strange light flashed across her beautiful eyes. It was as if as long as this young sword cultivator was here, everything would come true.
Just like the insufferably arrogant Eighth Stage Mystic King Realm former General Wang Li, the Cloud Sky Empire could do nothing to him. However, when he encountered Prince Consort Ye, he subdued him in just half an incense stick's time, beheaded him in public, and took away his military power. This thunderous method could not help but make people sincerely admire him.
Princess Yun paused for a moment before she said seriously,"Heaven's Beyond, Qingyun Sect."
Ye Xingyun's expression was indifferent and he did not speak.
He knew that the Heaven's Beyond White Hair Immortal and the Yunxiao Imperial Family were not on good terms. They had been fighting openly and secretly over the years.
"Master, do you know that Cloud Heaven Ancient Town is originally a territory of our Cloud Heaven Empire? It's easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, three years ago, the White Hair Immortal colluded with the enemy and took over this city overnight.”
"In order to recapture the central plains, my Cloud Sky Empire has been at war with White Hair Immortal for a year, but we still haven't been able to subdue the important cities. Instead, we have wasted our national strength and caused the people to suffer.”
Ye Xingyun said thoughtfully," Even the Cloud Sky Empire can't withstand such a consumption. Could it be that White Hair Immortal can withstand such a consumption?"”
"Naturally, they couldn't stand it. Therefore, Prime Minister Wei negotiated with the White-Haired Immortal Rebel Party. In the end, the outcome of the negotiations was to determine the ownership of the Cloud Heaven Ancient Town based on the success or failure of the Qingyun Sect's challenge.”
"The Qingyun Sect has a total of five peaks, and each peak has a first-rate expert guarding it. Their cultivation is not lower than the sixth level of the Mystic King Realm, and these five experts are all disciples of the Qingyun Sect's sect master, Daoist Dao Xuan.”
"If we want to take back the ancient Cloud Sky Town, we must first defeat the people guarding each peak. There is no other way.”Princess Yun Yun said with a solemn expression.
Ye Xingyun thought to himself that this was indeed a naked battle between martial arts masters. This method could save the huge consumption of troops and wars, and also save the people from suffering. No one could say anything.
Princess Yun Yun gritted her teeth and said," After the failure of the challenge two years ago, Hang Chuan's magistrate Hang Tiesheng and a group of experts joined the Cloud Sky Empire's challenge team last year. After preparing for several months, everyone went to Heaven's Beyond to participate in the challenge, but they still returned in defeat. It's a pity.”
"Prime Minister Wei also has many experts under him. Did he send anyone to fight last year?”Ye Xingyun asked.
Yun Yun pondered for a moment and said," Because of the rules, the Snow Wind Sword Immortal, Shen Jingzhou, one of the Four Immortals of the martial arts world, Eunuch Shen, cannot fight. Thus, only the Heaven Splitting Hammer, Yuchi Youde, can fight."”
"The one who fought that day was this Yuchi Youde, right?”Ye Xingyun said lightly.
Yun Yun shook her head slightly." Lord Hang Tiesheng was also present that day. After Yuchi Youde accepted the challenge, Lord Hang immediately ascended the mountain peak to challenge him.”
Ye Xingyun was very clear about Sir Hang's strength. He was a sixth level Mystic King Realm expert.
"I guess the final result isn't good, right? Otherwise, why would the princess be gritting her teeth like this!”Ye Xingyun teased.
Princess Yun Yun immediately revealed a trace of annoyance and rolled her eyes at Ye Xingyun. She was indescribably charming.
"Master, you bad person, how dare you laugh at me!”Yun Yun hit Ye Xingyun's shoulder.
"Yun Er, what are the results of the last two?" Ye Xingyun asked seriously. How many peaks did Yuchi Youde and Lord Hang challenge and ascend?”
"Yuchi Youdi is five or six years older than Lord Dehang, and his hammering skills are superb. Few people can match him, so he is also known as the Heaven-Opening Hammer! His battle prowess was on par with Lord Hang's!”Yun Yun slowly said.
"Yuchi Youde is an expert in the army, but when it comes to one-on-one combat experience, this world-renowned sword expert Hang Tiesheng is still better.”
When she said this, Yun Yun's expression dimmed as she said,"Yuchi Youde defeated Shiva, the guardian of the first peak. Wang Xizhi, the guardian of the second peak, attacked the third peak, but was defeated by Wuxin, the guardian of the third peak.”
Ye Xingyun felt that the names of the array guardians were strange, but he did not interrupt Yun Yun and motioned for her to continue.
"Lord Hang is truly experienced in battle. After Wuxin rested for the time for two incense sticks to burn, he was defeated by Lord Hang.”
A gratified expression first surfaced between Yun Yun's brows. However, she immediately said regretfully,"But Lord Hang was defeated by Su Qin after two hundred rounds of battle! He hadn't reached the Fifth Peak yet, and Lord Hang had suffered quite a few injuries.”
"I remember that he was injured by Su Qin's famous skill,'Flying Dragon in the Sky'. As a result, Prime Minister Wei and I had no choice but to leave Heaven's Beyond in disappointment.”
After a long silence, Ye Xingyun deduced that the guardian of the fifth summit should be the strongest. Even if the princess did not say it, it was not difficult to guess!
Princess Yun looked at Ye Xingyun with a faint smile and said gently,""Fuma, I know that as long as you are here, my Cloud Empire will be able to solve any problem, right?”
The beauty was as beautiful as a painting and was lovable.
The young Swordsman could not help but tease,"Am I, Ye Xingyun, that impressive?" However, Princess, what you said is reasonable. I can't refute it.”
Ye Xingyun put his hands behind his back and wore an elegant and steady smile. Naturally, he had the demeanor of an expert.
Princess Yun Yun said with a trace of reverence,"Fuma's combat strength is unparalleled, unprecedented in history.”
Yun Yun smiled charmingly,"There's a scenic spot in the east of the city. BenGong these two are busy with state affairs and have no time to visit." Now that bengong has master, I can take a tour tomorrow if I have nothing to do. Fuma, are you willing to accompany this little girl…"
.......
next morning
Ye Xingyun used half an incense's time to rush to the place they had agreed to visit yesterday, Feiyu Peak.
However, Princess Yun Yun did not appear. This made Ye Xingyun feel a sense of foreboding.
He activated his lightness skill and quickly flew through the mountains.
All of a sudden, Ye Xingyun saw that on the mountain path from the bottom to the top, there were hundreds of corpses of soldiers lying on the ground.
Fresh blood flowed down like a red river. This place was like a battlefield on earth, indicating that a cruel massacre had just happened here.
All the soldiers had their throats slit and died with a single sword.
The young Swordsman, Ye Xingyun, furrowed his brows and emitted a cold murderous aura.
He calmed down and glanced at the corpses in the mountains, but fortunately, he did not see the figure of the princess in the pink palace dress.
"No matter who did this, if anything happens to princess Yun, I will make you pay a heavy price!”Ye Xingyun whispered.
"Master, be careful!" Suddenly, Ye Xingyun heard an urgent reminder.
That's right, this was Yun Yun's voice.
However, Ye Xingyun could hear the vitality in her voice, so she should be fine. However, the princess's voice was filled with anxiety.
Before Princess Yun Yun could finish her sentence, two cold lights shot towards Ye Xingyun like lightning. They were extremely fast and there was no way to dodge.
It was dangerous!
Ye Xingyun's hair fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were cold.
In a flash, Ye Xingyun jumped up instinctively and spun more than ten times in the air about 300 feet high, barely dodging this combined killer move.
"Amazing, amazing. Fuma Ye really had some skills, otherwise he wouldn't be so valued by the immortal monarch!”
Ye Xingyun stood proudly with his hands behind his back. His long robe fluttered even though there was no wind.
He looked coldly at the two people standing on the mountainside.
To be more precise, they were two sabermen with the appearance of a middle-aged beauty. The joint killing move just now was performed by these two.
On the right side of the two middle-aged beautiful women, Princess Yun Yun, who was dressed in a pink palace dress and had a noble aura, stood calmly.
Ye Xingyun thought to himself that the hundreds of personal guards around the princess were not weak, but they were all killed in an instant.
From this, it could be seen that these two beautiful sabermen were not ordinary people!
Even though she was being controlled by a malicious person, the noble and elegant temperament on Yun Yun's body was still present. She did not show the slightest hint of panic and her pair of phoenix eyes still emitted the majesty of an Imperial Family.
Ye Xingyun sized up the two black-veiled middle-aged machetemen with a calm expression. He raised his eyebrows slightly as he realized that the two of them were at the initial stage of the seventh level of the Mystic King Realm.
One of the masked middle-aged swordsmen was dressed as a beautiful woman with a scarf on her head. She had a refined temperament and held a long saber in her hand as she stood elegantly.
The other middle-aged masked woman was wearing a martial uniform. Her hair was tied up with a simple ribbon behind her head. She looked simple and elegant, but her aura was extraordinary.
"Do you know that it's very dangerous for the two of you to do this?”
Ye Xingyun's killing intent radiated from his body as he spoke coldly. He looked at the two beautiful machetemen like a beast staring at its prey.
