However, after Yu Xiyan sat back on the throne, there was a hint of confusion and puzzlement in her beautiful eyes.
"What's going on? Logically, Shen Zhao should be in the main hall with the Jing'an Division at this time, but why are they nowhere to be seen?"
It turns out that Yu Xiyan has also been reborn.
It was just that Yu Xiyan was reborn in this life and came back with the memories of her previous life.
After Yu Xiyan absorbed all these memories, she realized that she was wrong, so wrong that it seemed absurd and laughable.
She discarded the man who truly loved her and risked his life to protect her and the empire, and ultimately lost her life because of her naivety and foolishness.
In the previous life, not long after Shen Zhao's death, the Yintian Dynasty quickly declined from its peak.
Taking advantage of Yu Xiyan's trust, Lin Feng arbitrarily pocketed the empire's cultivation resources.
These priceless, top-grade spiritual treasures and elixirs, coveted by countless cultivators, were the foundation that Shen Zhao had accumulated for the empire during his time.
Relying on the massive resources obtained from the Yintian Dynasty, Lin Feng rose to prominence and eventually received support from various hidden forces, achieving the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm, surpassing all emperors, and establishing a powerful Divine Martial Empire.
As a result of Lin Feng's rise, or rather, after Shen Zhao's death, the Yintian Dynasty's national fortune gradually declined, and it could only become a vassal of the Shenwu Empire, completely losing its qualification to compete with the immortal dynasties on the continent.
But Yu Xiyan did not regret what she had done, because she believed in the most romantic and sincere love between her and Lin Feng, and she did not care even if she knew that Lin Feng had other women besides her.
However, it was not until a long time later that he discovered that the Yintian Dynasty and himself were just stepping stones for Lin Feng to reach the pinnacle of power.
What Lin Feng cared about most when he approached her was that the innate Dao Body that Shen Zhao had obtained for her could become a medium for top-grade dual cultivation.
Ironically, Shen Zhao, the only one who could repeatedly thwart Lin Feng's schemes, was personally killed by Yu Xiyan at the top of the Nine Heavens.
Afterwards, the death of her father, the accidental death of her younger brother, and even the horrific ordeal of her mother—all of these were part of Lin Feng's scheme to get closer to her and force her to turn against Shen Zhao.
After recognizing Lin Feng's true face, Yu Xiyan couldn't bear the blow and broke up with Lin Feng completely.
Unfortunately, at this time, Yu Xiyan had lost the pillar of the nation, Shen Zhao, and was completely unable to compete with Lin Feng, who was at his peak, in terms of both cultivation and the nation's strength.
Finally, on the eve of the Divine Martial Empire's iron hooves trampling into the capital and destroying the powerful Yintian Dynasty that Shen Zhao had single-handedly built, Yu Xiyan, whose cultivation had been completely destroyed, resolutely set fire to the Taiji Hall in order to avoid becoming Lin Feng's plaything. With endless regret, she held the imperial-grade weapon "Phoenix Peerless" that Shen Zhao had personally forged for her, maintaining her last bit of dignity, and perished in the sea of fire.
Having been given a second chance in this life, Yu Xiyan is grateful to God for giving her another opportunity. She also comes to fully understand how important the man who once cared for her so much and endured so much indifference and humiliation was.
As long as Shen Zhao is alive, the rise of the Yintian Dynasty will be unshakeable. As long as Shen Zhao is alive, Yu Xiyan will never encounter a bottleneck.
If he could cultivate himself to the level of an Emperor in less than twenty years, he could certainly reach the peak of the Emperor Realm within a hundred years, or even the legendary Ascension Realm.
Unfortunately, time and time again, she pushed the man who was willing to risk his life to protect her into an abyss of no return.
"I owed you so much in my last life. In this life, I will use my entire life to make it up to you! You will no longer be lonely, and you will no longer have to suffer humiliation and injustice."
Thoughts drifted back, Yu Xiyan asked, "Why aren't there any guards from the Jing'an Division on duty at my coronation ceremony today?"
The officials were slightly taken aback upon hearing this. The Jing'an Division was merely a low-level government office that managed street security. Even the neighborhood committee was considered a significant entity compared to it. What difference did it make whether it was present or not?
Seeing that no one spoke, Yu Xiyan said to the female official beside her: "Qiuyue, go to Jing'an Division and see why they are not here."
"Yes, sir!"
Shangguan Qiuyue immediately took the order and left.
...
At this moment, hundreds of wailing figures lay sprawled across the Jing'an Division's yamen.
Judging from the intense fighting scenes, this battle was extremely fierce.
It seems like nonsense.
At this time, there was a little Karami with eyes full of fear. He was trembling with fear, holding his sword and backing away continuously, shouting in his heart: Ah, don't come over, if you have the guts, don't come over.
"You insignificant ants don't deserve to live. Stand still and let me, Master Shen, personally enlighten you!"
As the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens. Shen Zhao took a step forward and raised her fist, delivering two punches directly to his slender waist.
"Oh my god—"
Just as Little Karami let out a scream, Shen Zhao delivered an elbow strike, sending Little Karami and the wall behind him flying.
The flying bricks, along with the little Karami, were thrown directly onto the street. A cleaning lady saw this and immediately shouted that the car was far ahead.
After the battle ended, Shen Zhao glanced at the battlefield he had cleared, smiled slightly, opened the door, and stepped out.
"They said every member of the Jing'an Division had the makings of an emperor, but it turns out they're incredibly arrogant. Hopefully, this beating will teach them a lesson. Bah!"
Once on the street, Shen Zhao immediately opened his arms, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath.
“This is the breath of freedom, hahahaha!”
After expressing his feelings, Shen Zhao, ignoring the looks of the passersby who thought he was mentally challenged, walked directly towards the city gate.
Nine lifetimes! Do you know how I survived?!
Not long after he left, Shangguan Qiuyue arrived at Jing'an Division with the palace guards.
When they saw what was happening before them, Shangguan Qiuyue and her group were completely stunned.
