Three days later.
Imperial Palace, Kowloon Hall.
It is majestic and majestic, with nine gilded dragon pillars standing in it.
This is the new political hall of the Tianwu Emperor. It is named after "Nine Dragons", symbolizing Chu Ye's supreme hegemony and power!
And at this moment.
In the Nine Dragon Palace, except for Chu Ye who was sitting on the throne of the emperor.
But it was deserted and seemed unusually cold.
"The Holy Body of the Nine Emperors."
With a thought in Chu Ye's mind, nine tiny dragon shadows appeared from his palm.
Immediately, it transformed into nine blurry golden figures with only human form.
Nine golden figures.
All of them have the same power as Chu Ye.
He has reached the level of half-step saint, and he has the power of hundreds of ancient dragons!
The most terrifying thing is.
They can also change their forms at will, and even if they leave the territory of the Tianwu Emperor... they can still maintain their full power!
"This magical power is quite good."
"It allows me to have more identities in the outside world and walk around the world in my incarnation."
"After all, as an emperor now, it would be too disrespectful to do everything myself."
Chu Ye nodded with satisfaction.
As he waved his right palm, only one of the nine holy bodies was left.
His appearance slowly changed. He was dressed in a Qingxuan robe and looked extraordinary handsome, as if he was a banished immortal coming to the world.
"I am Cangxuan Sword Saint, saving Lingtian!"
Separate a ray of consciousness to take control.
The swordsman in green, who was transformed from the holy body, said with a cold face.
"Ha ha!"
This feeling of multitasking, of being two people at the same time.
It also made Chu Ye feel strange.
"His Majesty!"
And this time.
Xu Yin suddenly appeared from the Nine Dragons Hall and bowed respectfully.
"Outside the imperial palace, the governor of Liuzhou is asking for an audience."
"Liuzhou Governor?"
Chu Ye's eyes flickered.
Liuzhou is one of the nine states controlled by Emperor Tianwu.
Including the land of ten counties, it is said that the governors of Liuzhou for generations were loyal ministers of the imperial clan. They were deeply trusted by Emperor Tianwu and guarded Liuzhou and defended the imperial capital.
And now.
He ordered all the governors and princes to come to the imperial capital to see him.
Three days have passed.
In three days, except for the large and small forces in the imperial capital.
However, no prince came to surrender, but countless people from all major counties came to make pilgrimages.
"Let him in."
After thinking for a moment, Chu Ye spoke.
"yes."
Xu Yin retreated, and the door of Jiulong Palace slowly opened.
Dong dong......
Soon, the sound of heavy footsteps came closer from far away.
Slowly passed into Chu Ye's ears.
At this moment, he finally saw the appearance of the visitor.
It was an old man with an old face and a bare upper body. Behind him were countless thorns made of black iron that penetrated deeply into the flesh!
It's every step forward.
They will all make a muffled sound due to the weight of the thorns.
A little blood dripped onto the ground... and dyed the spotless Kowloon Hall red.
"The sinner Jiang Shanhai, please see His Majesty Emperor Tianwu!"
"May your majesty's holy life be boundless...and rule the heaven and earth forever!"
Bang~
With the sound of the last sentence.
The stooped Jiang Shanhai finally knelt down in front of Chu Ye.
His eyes were full of regret, his forehead was pressed tightly to the ground, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at the emperor above...
He knows deeply.
He himself is an out-and-out sinner.
Therefore, carrying this black iron thorn stick weighing hundreds of thousands of kilograms and walking from the edge of Liuzhou to the imperial capital, a journey of thousands of miles, is the road to atonement!
"Keep your head up."
Chu Ye's faint voice sounded.
"Sinners... do not deserve it."
Jiang Shanhai kowtowed to the ground again, but did not raise his head.
"Ah..."
Chu Ye smiled, his eyes calm: "I ask you, are you here to surrender to me today and plead guilty to me?"
"yes."
Jiang Shanhai lowered his head and answered, his voice hoarse and dry.
"You are the first governor to surrender to me."
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you and then slaughter all nine of your clans?"
Chu Ye, who was on the throne, looked down at Jiang Shanhai from a high position: "Or...do you think that with these mere thorns, I can forget what you have done?!"
Bang bang bang!
After kowtowing three times in a row, Jiang Shanhai's forehead already had blood seeping out:
"Your Majesty, sinners deserve death."
"Even if His Majesty wants to punish the nine criminal clans, the criminals will never dare to disobey him."
Jiang Shanhai's voice was hoarse, but still determined.
"......Ha ha!"
"What a great Liuzhou governor, what a great Jiang Shanhai!"
When Chu Ye heard this, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, the sound shaking the entire Jiulong Hall.
"I can accept your surrender."
"But as a price, your Jiang family will become the servants of the Tianwu Emperor for the rest of your life. Even if you die, you will fight for me as undead!"
"Everything you have will no longer belong to you!"
"You...can you agree?"
Chu Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Jiang Shanhai who was covered in scars.
"Sinner, I am willing to serve the Tianwu Emperor and serve His Majesty on behalf of the Jiang family!"
"Even if you give everything, you won't hesitate!"
Hearing this, Jiang Shanhai's eyes suddenly trembled, and he immediately kowtowed deeply.
Today, he came with the determination to seek death.
I don't expect His Majesty to forgive my sins, I just hope that I can finally find the right path and end this decade of ignorance.
I didn't expect that...
Your Majesty actually accepted his surrender? !
And as a price, is it just the continued loyalty of the Jiang family?
It was almost like a dream.
How could he refuse?
At this moment, Jiang Shanhai could only be happy, happy that he had chosen the right path!
As a minister of His Majesty, he will continue to serve this huge Tianwu Emperor and open up boundless territory...
This is the real glory! !
Boom!
In an instant.
In Jiang Shanhai's mind, some shackles seemed to be released, and his whole body suddenly became enlightened.
Kaka!
As the true energy surged through his body, his aura increased several times in an instant, reaching an astonishing level!
A terrifying coercion spread out from his body, almost covering the void!
"Um?"
"Have you actually broken through to the Venerable?"
Chu Ye was slightly surprised when he noticed that Jiang Shanhai's aura suddenly increased.
Ten years ago, this Liuzhou governor had the cultivation level of Master Banbu.
Later, when the imperial clan collapsed, he seemed to be trapped in some kind of inner demon dilemma. Not only did his cultivation level show no growth, but he even had a tendency to regress.
But now.
After accepting his surrender.
His inner demons were completely eliminated!
The original bottleneck was instantly loosened!
In a short period of time, he broke through the shackles of the emperor in one fell swoop and stepped onto the level of the venerable!
"The guilty minister Jiang Shanhai is willing to lead the army in four days to capture the heads of those traitors for Your Majesty!"
I felt that my inner demons had finally dissipated and I had broken through to the venerable one.
Jiang Shanhai was extremely excited and kowtowed to Chu Ye repeatedly, his tone full of respect and enthusiasm.
[Name: Jiang Shanhai]
[Identity: Liuzhou Governor, "Purple Emperor" of Nine Emperors Palace]
[Cultivation: Venerable Realm First Level]
[Exercise: Zixiao Holy Seal Technique (Mid-level Heaven Rank)]
[Supernatural power: Heaven-covering palm (lower grade of heaven)]
[Loyalty: 95 (fanatic loyalty)]
Chu Ye, on the other hand, sat on the emperor's throne and scanned the opponent's attribute panel slightly.
What made him slightly shocked was.
The opponent only surrendered on the first day, and his loyalty reached a terrifying 95%!
You know, even the guards in the imperial palace have surrendered to him.
Its loyalty is only below 80, and can only reach the system rating of ordinary loyalty.
"good."
Nodding, Chu Ye became more and more pleased with Jiang Shanhai.
Although this guy has made mistakes, he knows how to find his way back. He is not like those many princes... who are greedy to the bone.
"After four days, I would like to see how many stupid people there are who are determined to be my enemies."
Chu Ye shook his head, his tone full of coldness.
"Your Majesty, they will definitely pay the price for their choices..."
Jiang Shanhai gritted his teeth and revealed a fierce look in his eyes.
Nowadays, he rarely controls things in Liuzhou.
But if the princes of Liuzhou choose to become enemies of His Majesty, I will definitely be the first to kill them all!
