Ye Qiu would not truly consider Xia Li and Long Ling as his women just to get revenge on Zhao Churan.

Moreover, Zhao Churan has changed since her awakening, and who knows what might happen once Xia Li and Long Ling awaken.

With this in mind, Ye Qiu decided to find an opportunity to explain it to them in detail.

"You all go take care of the important business first. We can talk about the rest later," Ye Qiu said.

"Okay." Xia Li smiled wryly.

"Xia Li, let's go."

Long Ling tugged at Xia Li.

Soon after, the Dragon Palace forces left, and the turmoil subsided.

The outcome of this battle quickly spread throughout the Great Xia through various channels, causing a great uproar.

In reality, powerful forces are entrenched in various places, and people dare not speak out.

But online, it's out of control.

Countless people flocked to the W platform, hoping that Ye Qiu would quell the chaos as soon as possible and get everything back on track.

One of the celebrities' comments received over 100 million likes.

This celebrity is named Gu Ge, and he has over 80 million fans, making him a top star in the entertainment industry.

He published a long article criticizing the rebels and analyzing the current situation, concluding with the statement, "The Great Xia must not be divided; the rebels must be suppressed. These rabble will eventually bring about their own destruction."

In today's complex situation, his courage to stand up and make such remarks has shocked and moved countless people.

Soon, driven by Gu Ge's influence, his tens of millions of fans frantically shared the post, sparking a wave of enthusiasm.

Protesters began to appear in the streets, opposing the rebels' self-proclaimed kingship.

However, not long afterward, tragedies occurred in many places.

Some of the protesters were killed by local insurgents.

This news caused a great shock throughout the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, these actions by the rebels not only failed to suppress the dissenting voices, but also made the situation increasingly out of control.

Faced with this situation, the powerful forces that declared themselves kings in various places did not restrain themselves. Instead, they wielded their swords in a tyrannical attempt to suppress and continue to massacre those who dared to oppose them.

...

One day later, in the capital city, at the Great Xia Imperial Palace, Ye Qiu received a thick document.

These materials all relate to the various major powers that have emerged recently.

Ye Qiu carefully examined the data and found that of the eighteen states of the Great Xia Dynasty, twelve states now have super powers that have declared themselves kings.

However, at present, the extraordinary forces in these twelve states are only active in the main cities of each state.

Ye Qiu pondered all night, considering whether or not to send the Kunlun Army to suppress the rebellion forcefully.

But after thinking it over, Ye Qiu gave up on the idea.

The Kunlun Army only has 100,000 troops in the capital, and another 100,000 in southern Jiangsu. Each of them can only defend one city.

Therefore, Ye Qiu decided to act alone.

The saying goes, "To catch the thief, first catch the king." If you kill all the rebels in the leadership, the people below will naturally scatter.

Subsequently, after conquering each state, they established the Kunlun Army in that state to consolidate their defenses.

Ye Qiu's thinking became clearer and clearer, and he finally settled on this plan.

At this moment, everyone was incredibly curious about how Ye Qiu would quell the unrest.

The Western world and the Eastern Kingdom are also paying close attention.

In particular, the Eastern Island Dynasty is already making moves, sending some experts into the Great Xia, claiming to be merchants, wanting to do business with the Great Xia.

In reality, they harbored ulterior motives and sought to further exacerbate the internal strife within the Great Xia Dynasty.

Ye Qiu had already received news of these matters, but he did not want to concern himself with the Eastern Island Dynasty for the time being. Instead, he was focused on quelling the rebellion.

Two days later, Ye Qiu left the capital and headed to Shenzhou alone.

Shenzhou was an important part of the Great Xia Dynasty, backed by the Taiping Sea, and was known as the Eastern Heavenly Gate of the Great Xia.

If this place falls, it will be extremely dangerous for the Great Xia.

Therefore, Ye Qiu chose to suppress this place as his first stop.

Ye Qiu made no attempt to conceal his movements, and without bringing anyone with him, he went straight into Shenzhou.

This news quickly went viral and caused a sensation.

"Why did Emperor Xia go to Shenzhou alone?"

"The Sword Dao Sect of Shenzhou has established its own Sword Dynasty and possesses extraordinary strength. I've heard that it has even joined forces with the demon race that appeared in the Taiping Sea. Emperor Xia went there alone; could it be that he intends to negotiate peace?"

"What is the Xia Emperor trying to do?"

Countless questions filled everyone's mind.

But Ye Qiu quickly cleared up everyone's doubts.

He posted a message on the W platform: "Within three days, I will kill all the high-ranking members of the Sword Dao Sect and pacify the Divine Land."

This news caused a sensation worldwide.

No one expected that Ye Qiu would have this purpose.

...

Kunlun Palace, Qianzhou.

Zhao Churan stood with her hands behind her back, a slightly gratified smile appearing on her fair and jade-like face. She spoke as if talking to herself, "You're still the same as before, arrogant and conceited, daring to go to Shenzhou to quell the rebellion all by yourself."

"Palace Master, should we go and support Young Master Ye?" A young Taoist priest asked in a low voice from not far away, his expression respectful.

Zhao Churan shook her head: "His mission is to quell the internal strife, while our mission is to guard the gate to the demon realm. That gate connects the two realms, and Ye Qingdi is very likely to pass through that gate. Once he comes over, Ye Qiu will be in danger. With Ye Qiu's current cultivation level, he is not yet able to fight against Ye Qingdi."

Moreover, if a large number of demons from behind the gate to the demon realm were to enter, Blue Star would be thrown into chaos, and countless lives would be lost. Therefore, I must guard that gate for him.

"Palace Master, if that's the case, then you must have feelings for Young Master Ye... so why are you deliberately distancing yourself from him?" the young Taoist asked curiously.

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

Zhao Churan's face was cold, and with just one sentence, the little Taoist boy dared not ask any more questions. He shrank his neck and kept his mouth tightly shut.
