Yan Shan's expression was cold and stern as he said in a deep voice, "Ye Qiu, the matter that my Yan clan is about to undertake involves the common people. Do not ask any further questions."
But your actions today, killing members of my Yan clan, have deeply hurt my people. If you don't give an explanation, this matter will likely be difficult to resolve peacefully.
"You guys are really something. It seems like you were the ones who were saying you wanted to destroy the Dragon Palace and me. What? You're not going to destroy me anymore?"
Ye Qiu sneered.
"Don't be so arrogant."
Yan Shan couldn't resist taking action.
Yan Shan raised his hand, but forced himself to hold it back.
Because he wasn't sure.
Yan Shan is a cautious person who has never fought a battle he is not confident of winning since his debut.
However, Yan Shan's inaction does not mean that Ye Qiu will not take action.
Ye Qiu drew his sword and slashed at Yan Shan.
Yan Shan was forced to resist.
But in just one round, Yan Shan was blasted away and coughed up blood.
"Your combat strength is lacking, so how dare you claim to be descendants of the gods?"
Ye Qiu mocked.
Yan Shan's face darkened: "If my clan leader were here, he would never allow you to be so arrogant."
"So you're the strongest member of your Yan family here?"
Ye Qiu asked.
"What's the meaning?"
Yan Shan clutched his chest, extremely vigilant.
"I don't mean anything else, I just want you to give me a reasonable explanation for why you said you wanted to destroy the Dragon Palace and destroy me."
Ye Qiu said calmly.
"Aren't you being a little too naive? It's not just my Yan family that wants to destroy the Dragon Palace; all the ancient families that have entered the world want to destroy you and the Dragon Palace. Even if you suppress my Yan family, can you suppress all the ancient families?"
Yan Shan sneered.
"Really? Which ancient families are involved?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Guess, haha."
Yan Shan laughed wildly: "You want to know? I'm not going to tell you."
"Oh, then go die."
Ye Qiu killed Yan Shan with a single sword strike.
After killing them, Ye Qiu turned and left.
There is no one left in the Yan family worth taking action against.
Leaving the so-called Divine Path Building, Ye Qiu rushed back to the Dragon Palace.
Shortly after his return, Qin Yue and Murong Qingchen also returned.
"You, Ye Qiu, you sent us to investigate the Yan family, but you went into the building yourself."
Qin Yue came up and gave Ye Qiu a gentle pinch.
Ye Qiu grinned and cooperated, saying, "I know I was wrong, Fifth Senior Sister, please spare my life."
"Tell me, what did you find inside?"
"Murong Qingchen asked."
"Nothing was found, just a few dozen people were killed. Their strength was average, the strongest was only at the Martial Emperor realm."
Ye Qiu said.
Qin Yue and Murong Qingchen were both startled upon hearing this.
Emperor Wu, was he just so-so?
"Junior brother, you're getting too cocky."
Qin Yue was both amused and exasperated.
"So, you killed the head of the Yan family?" Murong Qingchen asked.
"No," Ye Qiu said. "That was just the eldest elder of the Yan family, not the family head. Their family head isn't here."
"Doesn't that mean that the Yan family patriarch's martial arts cultivation has surpassed the Martial Emperor realm?"
Qin Yue was somewhat alarmed.
"It doesn't matter, I'll take action."
Ye Qiu smiled.
Qin Yue and Murong Qingchen were speechless, unsure of what to say.
They had no doubt about Ye Qiu's strength.
Seeing that the two remained silent, Ye Qiu continued, "According to that guy from the Yan family, all the ancient families that came out this time want to attack our Dragon Palace."
"What should we do then? Do you have a solution?" Qin Yue asked.
"It's alright," Ye Qiu said. "We'll catch them all when they arrive."
"You're really confident."
Qin Yue smiled bitterly.
In their view, this was a very terrifying thing.
Those ancient families are all extraordinary.
Once united, their power is extremely formidable.
Even Xia Zu had to be careful.
"Why don't you give Xia Zu a call? I think we should talk to Xia Zu about this and get his opinion."
"Murong Qingcheng said."
"That's true."
Without hesitation, Ye Qiu immediately called Xia Zu.
Xia Zu answered quickly this time: "I was just about to contact you."
"Ancestor Xia, do you know anything about the ancient aristocratic families?"
Ye Qiu asked softly.
“Of course I know.” Xia Zu said in a deep voice, “These ancient families are not simple. You must be careful in dealing with them. Also, I will issue an order later to inform the world.”
"Ancestor Xia, what is the decree?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
"Don't ask about that yet. Come to my place tonight, and we can talk about other things in more detail."
"good."
Ye Qiu nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qiu said, "Ancestor Xia said he would issue an order, but we don't know how he will do it. Let's wait and see."
"good."
...
An hour later, a piece of news shocked the world.
Xia Zu issued a decree, announcing to the world that Ye Qiu was appointed as the Peerless King, and that 300,000 troops from the capital were to be under Ye Qiu's command. Anyone who tried to harm Ye Qiu could be directly suppressed and killed by Ye Qiu's army.
This decree caused a great upheaval throughout the land.
Immediately afterwards, countless cheers resounded in every corner.
Ye Qiu ascended to the throne and became the Peerless King, and there was almost no opposition to this.
Even if there are dissenting voices, they are only caused by those ancient aristocratic families behind the scenes, and they have no effect whatsoever.
...
As night fell, Ye Qiu went to the Imperial Palace and sat opposite Xia Zu.
Xia Zu patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "The world is about to change. I don't know what will happen next, and neither do you, but we must prepare as soon as possible."
“Xia Zu, please feel free to speak your mind.”
Ye Qiu said.
