Ye Qiu's words were resounding and powerful.
Qin Lie's expression turned completely cold because of Ye Qiu's words.
Judging from his expression, he was not afraid of Ye Qiu.
Even the arrogance between his brows did not dissipate.
Perhaps in his eyes, Ye Qiu, this young man, was nothing to fear.
"Your Majesty, if the new law is not revised, it will be difficult to promote. Under such difficulties, many changes may arise, and the consequences may be even more serious than revising the new law. I urge Your Majesty to think twice before proceeding."
Qin Lie cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Ye Qiuqing smiled coldly: "As long as I'm on the right path, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely overcome it, because I am not alone. Behind me are countless ordinary people that you look down on. If you don't believe me, listen to this."
"Listen to what?" Qin Lie asked, puzzled.
But soon, Qin Lie understood.
The surrounding crowd erupted in cheers.
"Emperor Wu is wise; he must not listen to the words of petty men."
"Emperor Wu is mighty."
"The new law is designed with ordinary people like us in mind, and it does not treat aristocratic families and sects unfairly. Why should it be changed? We support Emperor Wu."
"Those who oppose the new law are all trash and deserve to die."
"Qin Lie, your Ascension Sect has ulterior motives. As long as the Martial Emperor gives the order, we, the people of Great Xia, will surely crush your Ascension Sect."
The sound, like a tidal wave, made Qin Lie's face turn ugly.
This scene was truly unexpected for Qin Lie.
"A bunch of lowly people, what do you know?"
Qin Lie gritted his teeth.
"You audacious madman, who are you calling a lowly commoner?" Ye Qiu stared at Qin Lie with icy eyes.
Qin Lie was startled by the shout and hurriedly said, "Emperor Wu, I was not targeting you."
“They are supporting me, and you are calling them lowly people, which is the same as insulting me,” Ye Qiu said in a deep voice.
Qin Lie took a deep breath and after a long while, he managed to utter a few words through gritted teeth: "Emperor Wu, if you're not out of your mind, you shouldn't listen to these lowly commoners."
"presumptuous."
Ye Qiu pressed down with a palm strike from a distance.
Boom!
Thunderous energy instantly gathered at the scene, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive.
Qin Lie sensed a terrifying aura and immediately changed color, hurriedly circulating his magic power.
But as Ye Qiu unleashed a palm strike from afar, Qin Lie was completely unable to withstand it. He coughed up blood and trembled all over as he was struck by the thunderous palm.
Ye Qiu, like a god descending to earth, exuded a majestic aura and stared directly at Qin Lie: "From ancient times to the present, our Great Xia has always put the people first. Many sages have sacrificed their lives for the sake of the common people."
We, as people of the new era of Great Xia, can be forgiven for a lack of ambition, but we absolutely cannot tolerate anyone ignoring the great principles left by our ancestors, nor can we tolerate anyone stirring up trouble among the common people. Anyone who does so must be killed.
Today, I, Ye Qiu, declare here that people of today must never forget the goals of the sages of the Great Xia Dynasty.
To establish a moral compass for Heaven and Earth, to define the destiny of the people, to continue the lost learning of the sages, and to usher in an era of peace for all generations.
Every word Ye Qiu spoke carried an immense weight.
The last few sentences, in particular, ignited the atmosphere at the scene and caused a stir online.
"This is amazing! Damn, this is the perfect Emperor Xia Wu in my mind."
"Emperor Wu is so damn handsome."
"I hereby declare that I have become a die-hard fan of Emperor Wu."
There are countless similar voices online.
At the scene, Qin Lie and those who opposed the new law were all in a panic.
They had already seen through Ye Qiu's intentions; he had no intention of changing the new law at all.
Today's grand gathering is entirely for the purpose of further consolidating the Great Xia Dynasty and forcibly promoting the new laws.
But Qin Lie was still unwilling to give up.
"Emperor Wu, it's not that we don't care about the common people. It's just that our intention is to strengthen the powerful clans and sects first, and then strengthen the common people. We must distinguish between primary and secondary matters and never reverse them."
"To give a simple example, we are the sun of the Great Xia Dynasty. If the sun is gone, how can the flowers and plants below survive?" Qin Lie said in a low voice.
"You dare to be the sun of Great Xia?" Ye Qiu walked step by step toward Qin Lie: "In my opinion, you are not the sun, you are a cancerous tumor trying to corrode the sun, and you should be killed."
“Emperor Wu, I still call you Emperor Wu out of respect. Don’t think that my Immortal Ascension Sect is truly afraid of you. With the strength of my Immortal Ascension Sect, it is not difficult for us to become the ruler of a region.”
Qin Lie clenched his teeth, struggling to stay upright.
However, as Ye Qiu approached, Qin Lie could no longer hold on and could not withstand Ye Qiu's terrifying aura. He knelt down on one knee in front of Ye Qiu.
However, this was not because he wanted to kneel, but because he was forced to kneel.
Qin Lie stared intently at Ye Qiu, his eyes filled with horror.
Because he sensed an unusual aura emanating from Ye Qiu.
"You...you actually possess the aura of an emperor?"
Qin Lie spoke in disbelief.
What is the aura of an emperor?
"The aura of an emperor is..."
"Alright, I'm not listening to your explanation," Ye Qiu interrupted him.
Then, Ye Qiu glanced around and asked loudly, "What do you all think? Should Qin Lie be killed?"
"He should be killed."
A deafening sound echoed in response to Ye Qiu.
"Alright, then kill them."
With a thought, Ye Qiu summoned the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand.
Qin Lie's heart trembled violently: "If you kill me, everything will be irreversible. Emperor Wu, do you really want to oppose all the aristocratic families and sects?"
“Your ascension to immortality and those who oppose the new laws do not represent all the aristocratic families and sects.”
Even if we take a step back and assume that all the powerful families and sects harbor ill intentions, it doesn't matter. We'll kill them one by one. Great Xia will never allow any sect or family to look down on the common people.
Having said that, Ye Qiu raised his sword and brought it down!
