Ren Baqian was writing formulas on the blackboard when he suddenly left the classroom and looked toward the palace.
He felt an angry and murderous aura from the palace.
He was very familiar with this aura.
It was the empress.
She hadn’t been this angry in a long time. Even people at the school could sense her aura. It was as if Mount Buzhou[1.Mount Buzhou: a mountain from Chinese legend] was going to collapse at any time and crush everyone to smithereens.
“Study this lesson yourselves!” Ren Baqian turned and told the students.
They were all crowded at the window and looking at the palace in shock. After that, Ren Baqian dashed straight for the palace.
“Am I treating them too mercifully? I show them mercy, so they take me for a weakling? Is there anything else that they wouldn’t dare or couldn’t do? Send an order to Zi Donglai. Kill everyone who is at the Earth Wheel level and above in the entire Yun Nation! Exterminate all the sects! I want their heads to be hung on the city walls of Wangjing City to serve as an eternal reminder!” The empress sat at the top with fine black hair fluttering behind her body. She ordered her subjects with an ashen face and murderous eyes.
“Qin Chuan, take my winged cavalry warriors and head straight for the Yun Nation. Remember my words—spare no one!”
“Yes, Your Majesty! I will set off immediately.” Qin Chuan cupped his fists.
“Tie Yan, head there with the Department of Inspection. These sects of society are like bugs in the sewers. Uncover all of them! If you can’t do it… I’ll take your head instead!”
Everyone in the hall was solemn.
No one dared to speak in the face of the furious empress.
Besides, everyone was feeling extremely angry as well.
After hearing this piece of news, even if she didn’t give the orders, they would still act on their own!
Looking moody, Ren Baqian stood at the entrance of the main hall.
In fact, the empress had noticed him when he arrived, but didn’t pay attention to him or let him enter the hall. Instead, she directly issued her orders. Seeing how furious she was at the moment, it was impossible to stop her desire to slaughter.
“What happened? What made Her Majesty so angry?” he softly asked the guard at the door after some time.
“Your Highness, Deputy Protector General Wu Kai has been killed, and his body was cut into five pieces. His head was pinned to the top of Ping City’s wall with an arrow.
Ten groups of 100-man patrol teams were attacked with none of them surviving. Lieutenant Colonels Peng Yu and Li Rui both died in battle as well. All of them had their bodies dismembered after death! Their heads were cut off and piled up,” the guard replied with anger in his eyes.
Ren Baqian’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the news, and his face immediately changed.
“Sh*t! Something big is going to happen!”
Wu Kai was the Deputy Protector General of the Northeast. Lieutenant Colonels Peng Yu and Li Rui were both at the Cardinal Heaven level. All three of these people had died in battle, and their bodies had even been dismembered. Furthermore, there were ten groups of 100-man patrol teams… If these people died in battle, the empress would be angry, but she wouldn’t fly into such a rage and give an order to kill every person at the Earth Wheel level and above. Furthermore, she even wanted to exterminate all the sects.
The culprit not only killed these people, but also cut up their corpses and piled them up… This was a display of arrogance, not just audacity…
Not to mention, they even threw Wu Kai’s head at Ping City.
Ping City was originally called Qingping City. This was where the Protectorate of the Northeast and Dayao’s command center of the entire Yun Nation was currently located.
Ren Baqian could imagine that the entire Protectorate of the Northeast was already getting ready for battle and only waiting for the empress to give the orders.
At present, she had already given the orders.
It was imaginable what kind of uproar this would set off and how much hatred would be incited in this world once they started to act.
Ren Baqian stood there for a long time and listened to the orders given by the empress. These included cordoning off the border between the Yun Nation and Great Xia and mobilizing the Protectorate of the North. All of the orders were targeted at the Yun Nation and gave their practitioners no place to escape.
“Your Majesty, the Great Xia experts who left for the Sixty Thousand Mountains are on their way back and will arrive in two days. If they find out about this…”
“So what if they find out? It’s Dayao’s internal matter. Since those people could act like this, I will let them feel my wrath and will not be lenient on them! I will slaughter until no one dares or has the ability to create trouble, until they are terrified, until they regret!” the empress replied ruthlessly with a murderous spirit.
When the court session ended, everyone merely cupped their fists as they left the hall.
If Dayao’s imperial court was divided into two factions, Ren Baqian would be the only one in his faction.
Politics? No, the aboriginals only played with blades!
When the empress walked out of the hall, he involuntarily followed behind her.
“Don’t try to persuade me!” she said directly. “They are too audacious and have gone overboard. I can’t forgive them!”
“There is still a child in your belly, Your Majesty. Don’t get so worked up. I naturally wouldn’t try to persuade you. I want to tear them apart as well, but wouldn’t this have too many implications?” Ren Baqian tried to calm his voice down and appease her.
“Too many implications? Do you know how many people were involved this time? Ten groups of 100-man teams, two lieutenant colonels, and Wu Kai. Humph! If it wasn’t for such a major incident, I wouldn’t have known that there were so many people in this private collusion!” the empress complained. Her murderous spirit remained undiminished.
“34 Spirit Wheel experts and 3,000 Earth Wheel experts. They have really done a good job with so many people cascading these acts right in front of my eyes!” The more she spoke, the angrier she got. The brick pavement that she was walking on exploded behind her.
Ren Baqian frowned. There were probably only 3,000 Earth Wheel level warriors in the entire Yun Nation.
All of them were involved? How was this possible? Thousands of Earth Wheel experts threw everything aside and even ignored the lives of their families?
Even if the culprits were able to get all of the practitioners involved, how could Ren Baqian not have received any news at all?
There seemed to be some problems.
“Your Majesty…”
“Are you going to say that there’s a problem?” the empress coldly interrupted Ren Baqian.
She continued, “I don’t care if there are any problems with it. Regardless of how many of the Yun Nation’s people were involved out of those 3,000 Earth Wheel experts, regardless of whether it was 500 or 1,000, the practitioners of the Yun Nation participated greatly in this incident. In that case, I have no reason to let them off!
As for those who weren’t involved, it’s just their luck!
Moreover, they might not necessarily be wronged. At least one of them would have known what was going on and didn’t report it. They are still liable!”
Ren Baqian sighed. Although the empress rarely expressed it in front of him, she understood everything. It was due to her pride that she couldn’t be bothered to talk about a lot of things.
This time, she simply wanted to vent her anger.
“Your Majesty, I want to go there with Sir Qin!” he said after thinking for some time.
“Are you still intending to use the same strategy that you used in Tianjing Basin? Separate a portion of them, pull them aside, and execute them? This isn’t what I want!” The empress stopped in her tracks.
After pondering for a while, she eased her anger and sighed gently before saying. “Forget it. I’ll let you go. However, I have one request. For those who were involved or who knew about what was going on, spare no one!”
She then added, “Regardless of whether they are practitioners, ordinary people, or even warlords! I don’t care if the Yun Nation falls into chaos or if those people will hate me! I only want to see their heads!”
