In the main hall, heads fell to the ground, and the officials fell silent in fear.
A figure in white appeared out of nowhere.
Not only were they dressed in white, but as the Emperor's Banner appeared, the figures of Lin Xiao and Cheng Yan also materialized.
The three of them are now Supreme Realm Ghost Cultivators!
Apart from the different cultivation methods, they are not much different from ordinary people.
The three of them bowed respectfully to Junlin.
The man in white, who had been singled out for criticism by Junlin, quickly replied, "Your subordinate understands, and there will definitely be no next time!"
Jun Lin nodded slightly, not minding, and looked at the officials present, smiling as he said, "You may continue to express your opinions."
Upon hearing this, none of the officials present dared to speak, as they had no idea how the man in white had made his move.
But since these people didn't speak, Bai Yi, Lin Xiao, and Cheng Yan were a little unhappy.
They have been diligently cultivating within the Emperor's Banner these past few days.
What is the purpose?
In order to prove their own worth!
Previously, they had been stuck in the Emperor's Banner, completely useless, and lived in constant fear.
They were terrified that one day King's Landing would discover they were actually useless and simply wipe them out to avoid wasting resources.
Now that they've finally been able to get out and do their business, these people aren't even giving them the chance?!
The court was completely silent at this moment.
But Qing Yixue was in a good mood; indeed, only Junlin could keep these people in check.
Seeing his ministers cowering like turtles, Junlin frowned slightly and sneered, "You really don't know any better. Do you think that just because you don't speak up, I can't do anything to you?"
As he spoke, Junlin's gaze fell on the officials present whom he had beaten up a few years ago.
But after thinking about it, I felt something was off.
Turning to Qing Yixue, he said, "Something's not right, is it? All these people agree that you should make her empress, but not a single one supports you?"
Are all the officials in the court pressuring Qing Yixue to become empress?
Wasn't it a bit of a disgrace for an empress to be in power?
Qing Yixue blinked and said, "Yes, but I told them not to come to court today, otherwise it would be bad if they were accidentally injured by you."
Junlin was somewhat looking down on her; she was no longer the newly appointed empress who could die at any moment.
She is now the powerful Empress of the Azure Phoenix Empire!
Although it mainly relies on the prestige left by King's Landing, the executioner of nine generations of his family.
Junlin understood and asked, "So everyone here deserves to die?"
Qing Yixue thought for a moment and said, "Well, you can't say they all deserve to die. Although they are not very obedient, they are still somewhat useful."
The Qingluan Empire is busy with affairs, and she, as the empress, cannot possibly shoulder all the burdens alone. Although these people are disobedient, they can still help her share the pressure.
The officials below felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing Qing Yixue's words.
Immediately, someone stepped forward, trembling.
Whoosh!
In an instant, blood stained the ground, and a corpse appeared in the court.
This time, it was the one in white who made the move again.
However, compared to before, this time the man in white acted decisively; before he could even speak, his head had already fallen to the ground.
Junlin nodded in satisfaction. "The Eastern Region is so vast, it has no shortage of talent. What use are those who are disobedient?"
These words were tantamount to a death sentence for everyone present.
Upon hearing this, Qing Yixue quietly tugged at Jun Lin's sleeve and whispered, "No matter how many talented people we have, we still need to recruit them. How will our Qingluan Empire function if we kill them all?"
“That makes sense. Then let’s make an effort and kill only half.” Jun Lin thought Qing Yixue’s words made sense, so he agreed.
He then looked down at the people below and said, “Gentlemen, do not be afraid, close your eyes and listen to the guidance of fate.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Junlin snapped his fingers.
Bai Yi, Lin Xiao, and Cheng Yan understood each other perfectly and immediately took action.
Before three supreme-level ghost cultivators, these ants, who were at most at the seventh level, could not make any waves at all.
Some people lost their temper and wanted to curse Junlin and Qing Yixue, but they were killed before they could even open their mouths.
Some people fought back desperately, trying to rush up and kill Qing Yixue, but they were beheaded the moment they made a move.
Some trembled all over, filled with fear but dared not resist. They could only close their eyes and wait for death to come, yet they lived to the very last moment of reckoning.
"Good, you are very obedient."
Junlin looked down at the remaining small group of officials who had their eyes closed and were waiting to die, and nodded with satisfaction.
He had already explained how to survive, but some people didn't listen, so even if they died, they couldn't blame anyone else.
Upon hearing Junlin's words, the survivors were all taken aback.
Opening their eyes, they saw that the imperial court was already a river of blood. They were standing on the blood of their colleagues, and their colleagues' corpses lay around them.
They survived the purge by sheer luck, simply because they were cowardly.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for sparing my life! Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life!"
In an instant, everyone knelt down, disregarding the blood flowing on the ground, and repeatedly thanked Junlin for sparing their lives.
The three men in white were so powerful that the others dared not even entertain the slightest thought of resistance.
Seeing this, Qing Yixue wrinkled her nose. "Wow! Look, they all thank you first and then thank me, the emperor!"
"Yes, that's true. I suspect I've become too powerful and overshadowed by my superiors."
Jun Lin nodded. He had done a great service by helping Qing Yixue deal with so many treacherous officials all at once!
Qing Yixue smiled gently, "Then I will bestow a marriage upon you and make you my Empress. That way, I won't have to worry about you becoming too powerful and overshadowing me."
After thinking about it, he was afraid that Junlin would not agree.
He then added, "Your current wife can also move to the palace to live with you; I won't separate you."
Upon hearing this, even the court officials who had just experienced a life-or-death crisis were somewhat bewildered.
No way! You, a dignified empress, actually went and snatched a married man!
If this had happened yesterday, they would have launched a full-scale attack!
But today is different.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Those who survived all shouted that they had figured out the way to survive: obedience!
Junlin curled his lip and said bluntly, "She's so smart, she's just lusting after my body."
The mere Azure Phoenix Empire could not confine his free spirit.
Qing Yixue felt somewhat annoyed. She had suggested that Junlin become Empress more than once, but Junlin had refused without hesitation each time.
She was, after all, an empress of a nation. Was she really that despicable?
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Junlin did not intend to linger any longer and said, "Let's go. If anyone disobeys in the future, I will exterminate their entire family. If anyone is not convinced, I will exterminate their entire family when I return!"
"Um."
Qing Yixue nodded gently in response, but looking at Jun Lin's departing figure, she felt a little regretful.
Would it have been better if she had forcibly controlled Junlin and kept him by her side when he first returned?
