What the hell is going on here?

Chu Yang was also dumbfounded, so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe, and kept silently chanting in his heart: "Amitabha, Infinite Heavenly Venerable, Amen."

The strength of someone at the Great Emperor realm is terrifyingly powerful.

Amidst everyone's shock, Jiang Qingluan turned around and slowly said, "I already knew before I came that Gu Tianhe and Gu Qinghe had instigated the war between humans and demons."

The actions of the Ancient River Sect in recent years have rendered it unworthy of being a member of any immortal sect. Effective immediately, the Ancient River Sect is hereby officially disbanded, and all disciples are required to leave within three days.

"Yes! Thank you, Empress."

Under the emperor's might, the disciples of the Ancient River Sect were all moved to tears, kowtowing repeatedly in gratitude before quickly leaving to pack their belongings.

The Ancient River Sect, which had stood on the Immortal Martial Continent for over a thousand years, became history entirely because of Jiang Qingluan's words.

Then, Jiang Qingluan said to Gu Hanshan, "Gu Hanshan, your efforts to protect the soul of the demon clan's holy maiden and help her rebuild her physical body are understandable. However, your rash leadership of the demon army into the human clan's sect has caused unnecessary panic."

According to the laws of the Nine Realms of the Immortal Martial Continent, I should have executed you, but fortunately you did not commit a grave offense, so I will temporarily refrain from punishing you. I order you to return to the Demon Clan immediately, and after the Holy Maiden's physical body is restored, you can go to the Jade Pool Holy Land to plead guilty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Three thousand elite demons knelt down in unison, bowing towards Jiang Qingluan.

Then everyone got up and left.

Before leaving, Leng Hu cast a grateful glance at Shen Zhao.

"Chu Yang, as a prince of the Great Xia, you have no royal dignity whatsoever, and you even aided and abetted the wicked, almost causing a great disaster. Considering your father's merits in governing the Great Xia, I will not hold this against you this time, but if there is a next time, I will not let you off lightly. Go back."

"Thank you so much... Your Majesty..."

Chu Yang felt as if he had been granted a pardon and left this place of trouble with a thousand thanks.

Soon, only Shen Zhao and Su Yunying remained on land, along with Jiang Qingluan and her group in mid-air.

After a long silence, Jiang Qingluan parted her lips slightly and asked softly, "Are you satisfied with what I've done?"

"Empress Yaochi, mighty!"

Shen Zhao gave her a thumbs-up without reservation, giving her a big thumbs up.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingluan gently stroked her lips beneath the veil with the back of her hand and murmured to herself, "Still the same as before, not changed at all."

"Alright, today's handling of the Guhe Sect is considered a favor owed to you by the Yaochi Holy Land. If you need my help, just come to the Yaochi Holy Land to find me. I will absolutely not refuse any request you may make."

"I am truly fortunate to have received a favor from the Queen of Yaochi. I will certainly trouble the Queen in the future."

"However, if the Yaochi Holy Land encounters trouble in the future and I need your help, I hope you can lend me a hand."

"This Jade Pool Holy Land is so ethereal and transcendent, how can I possibly be of any help?"

"You'll know when you get there. Remember this agreement, or I don't know how disappointed I'll be."

"I……"

Before Shen Zhao could protest, Jiang Qingluan had already ridden away on a phoenix amidst auspicious clouds, leaving Shen Zhao and Su Yunying completely bewildered.

After a long silence, Su Yunying finally asked, "Boss Shen, what exactly happened?"

"Don't bother me, my brain is malfunctioning, let me calm down."

"What exactly happened?"

"I fucking want to know what's going on too."

Su Yunying frowned slightly and looked at Shen Zhao, who was deep in thought, and said, "Boss Shen, I feel like this Empress seems to know you quite well. Do you two know each other?"

Shen Zhao: "Knowing him is nothing. Kid, don't ask too many questions. Go find Ding Bu'er, go to the public court to complete the formalities, and then go back to Qingyang City to live a life of idleness and waiting to die."
