Emperor’s Domination - Chapter 2432

Chapter 2432

War Saint Dynasty remained peaceful . The six legions and various powers didn’t take action after the departure of Silver Secret .

However, this was only the calm before the storm . Everyone could sense unrest in the air; people were growing impatient in the shadows .

Just imagine, Lucidity King had gathered an unprecedented authority in Nine Secrets after ruling for three generations . War Saint Dynasty had accumulated an incredible amount of treasures and vast lands . The rest of the world naturally coveted this, especially when the new king was so useless .  

This king right now was completely oblivious and uncaring of current events . On the other hand, Jiadi worked hard with his intelligent network, keeping up to date about the movements of the various sects and the six legions .

He was still absolutely loyal to Li Qiye, not wanting War Saint Dynasty to crumble in this manner .

Unfortunately, he had his limits despite being a powerful Eternal . After all, there were plenty of Eternals in such a powerful system .

He was still one level below Sun Lengying in terms of actual power and prestige . Lengying had followed Lucidity for three generations and had many great conquests during that period . Thus, he possessed an intimidating reputation .

He could threaten the five supreme ancestors, but not Jiadi . Not to mention these beings, he couldn’t influence the generals of Silver Secret .

In fact, Jiadi had tried his best to convince the generals of Silver Secret . Alas, they didn’t give him any face and still decided to leave . On the other hand, Lengying just needed to say one word and they would stay .

Li Qiye didn’t feel the same anxiety as Jiadi, still as nonchalant as ever .

“Your Majesty, the Bingchi has brought the Consort here . ” Jiadi changed the topic .

He referred to her as Consort instead of Queen because the role was yet to be determined since there were five of them .

“Their golden daughter? Quite fast then, take her here to see me . ” Li Qiye said with a smile .

“Let’s her have some time to get ready . ” Jiadi smiled wryly after seeing Li Qiye’s eagerness .

“Mmm . ” Li Qiye agreed carefreely .

***

The girl from the Bingchi washed her face and prepared before being led by palace maids to see the new king .

The sounds of maid uniforms and clanking adornments came about . A girl walked out among a group of maids . She dressed in a red gown embroidered with a golden phoenix, looking exquisitely noble .

She was naturally nervous, knowing that this new king would sleep with her tonight . As an innocent girl, she was going to marry someone she had never met before, not knowing anything about him .  

She only took a quick glance at the man sitting on the throne before lowering her head and prostrating once she got close enough: “Greetings, Your Majesty . ”

“Raise your head . ” Li Qiye told her .

She was surprised to hear his voice, seemingly a bit familiar as if she had heard it before .

She slowly raised her head and saw a faint smile from the king . This made her almost jump up with her mouth wide open .

“Stand up . ” Li Qiye smiled and gestured .

Meanwhile, Jiadi standing behind him suddenly became serious with a flash in his eyes .

The girl didn’t know what to do so she looked quite awkward, not knowing where to put her hands .

“Young miss, fate always brings people back together . ” Li Qiye smirked .

“I…” The girl didn’t know what to say . Not even in her dream would she expect for the infamous Chaos Hellion to be the new king .

This girl was obviously Bingchi Yingjian from the forge . It was quite interesting that she was chosen by the Bingchi to be the saintess for the marriage . Of course, this wasn’t her choice .

“So you’re the Bingchi’s representative?” Li Qiye rubbed his chin and smiled .

Her heart turned cold . The only reason she agreed was so that her branch could return to the Bingchi Clan once more .  

“I’m, I’m a descendant of Weaponbreak True Emperor, so I can still represent the orthodox branch of the Bingchi . ” She bit her lip and quietly said .

She was confused because of his current status and their brief meeting in the past .

“No defects that I can see . ” Li Qiye smiled: “The bloodline of a True Emperor is prestigious indeed . Moreover, Weaponbreak was an exceptional one among them . So yes, his branch can be considered the orthodox one . ” 

She heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this .

Li Qiye said: “Jiadi . Who should have been the Bingchi Consort, in theory?”

“Your Majesty, it should be Bingchi Hanyu, a descendant of Bingchi Juezun, according to His Late Majesty’s wish . ” Jiadi said with a grave tone .

“How interesting . ” Li Qiye was amused: “Looks like this clan wishes to trick us . ”

When Juezun made an agreement with Lucidity about marrying their noblest bloodline to the throne, it should have been their princess - Hanyu .

However, because of the deterioration of the dynasty, the Bingchi changed their mind because they had a negative opinion on the new king and the future of the dynasty . Thus, they found a princess in exile, Yingjian, in order to replace Hanyu .

This was still a reasonable choice . After all, Yingjian’s bloodline was also prestigious . In fact, if one only took their bloodline into consideration, Yingjian’s was even better than Hanyu’s . Furthermore, she has also been bestowed the title of princess in the clan, so sending her here to be the consort couldn’t truly be considered disobeying the late king’s order .

“This has nothing to do with the Bingchi, I, I want to be here . ” Yingjian became anxious and quietly said, not daring to look at Li Qiye while speaking .

“Ever since the defeat of Bingchi Kuangfang, your branch has been removed from the Bingchi, so how can it still represent them?” Jiadi’s eyes turned cold .

When an Eternal became serious like this, Yingjian became intimidated and trembled with fear .

“Jiadi, you’re scaring the young miss . ” Li Qiye smiled and waved his sleeve towards Jiadi: “Go rest, it must have been a long journey . ”

She was completely surprised . The Chaos Hellion was rumored to be lecherous, loving sex as much as his own life and had no regards for laws . This didn’t seem to be the case right now .

She hesitated for a bit, mouth slightly open - wanting to speak . In the end, she chose to kneel and leave .

Li Qiye then said: “How interesting, Jiadi, send my order to the Central Legion, tell them to march and attack the Bingchi . ”

“Your Majesty!” Jiadi was caught off guard . Was this a joke?

“What, is there a problem?” Li Qiye smiled .

“Your Majesty, that, that’s not doable . ” Jiadi hurriedly explained: “This deceitful swap from them is a crime punishable by death . I know that you’re furious, Your Majesty, but this isn’t possible . The situation is too delicate right now, we can’t mobilize the Central Legion . ” 

An imperial marriage was a great matter . Using a fake princess to deceive a king? Any king would be furious after this .

“No, you’re mistaken, I’m not angry at all, especially about something this trivial . However, this is a good chance . I’ve been wanting to be criticized as a warmongering madman . The Bingchi is giving me this opportunity since my plan is to march across the realm, putting those like the Bingchi and Waterfront Pavilion in their place . I don’t need to come up with a reason now after this deceit, it is time to mobilize and take them down . ”
