Supreme Demon God

Chapter 108: The Empress of Yan Kingdom

There were originally more than a hundred people in the court hall, but after Mo Xiu's slaughter, there were only forty or fifty people left.

Among these forty or fifty people, none of them could be called a minister, almost all of them were small fish and shrimps.

Mo Xiu just glanced at the forty or fifty people, but before he spoke, he had already made the forty or fifty people tremble.

"From today onwards, Yan Ran will be the Empress of Yan Kingdom. Does anyone have any comments?" Mo Xiu asked.

Even if everyone had opinions in their hearts, they dared not express it on the bright side, but desperately nodded in agreement.

After a while, someone came out and said, "Master Liu of the Hall of Rites is no longer there. I don't know who will preside over the enthronement ceremony?"

According to Yan Kingdom's rules, the new empress' ascension to the throne was presided over by the minister of rites.

Mo Xiu was not a member of the imperial court, so naturally, he didn't recognize the minister of rites, and he didn't know which Master Liu was, but since the other party said that, probably Master Liu was among those killed just now.

If the minister of rites was not there, it must be the high-ranking minister of the central government who presided over the enthronement ceremony, but it was the same sentence. Just now, Mo Xiu killed him. The remaining forty or fifty people were small fish and shrimps.

The speaker's intention was very obvious, that was, he hoped to get the opportunity to preside over the enthronement ceremony, to stand out from the remaining forty or fifty people, and to succeed in assuming the position.

After all, he was a person of the court, therefore, this kind of thinking was understandable, but Mo Xiu had done almost everything he should do, and it was meaningless to intervene, so he took two steps back and handed the control of the court to Yan Ran.

Yan Ran looked back at Mo Xiu, let out a breath, and immediately said, "Minister Fang, enter the hall."

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, who was Minister Fang in Yan Ran's mouth.

After waiting for a while, a figure slowly entered, it was the little old man Fang Shuping who had been visited by Mo Xiu and Yan Ran before.

"Minister Fang Shuping has seen Her Majesty the Empress!" Fang Shuping prostrated and saluted.

Everyone was stunned. Obviously, they didn't expect that Fang Shuping would be Minister Fang in Yan Ran's mouth, and even that Fang Shuping, who had already withdrawn from the court, would re-enter the court and surrender to Yan Ran.

"Minister Fang, you will host the enthronement ceremony, what is your decision?" Yan Ran asked.

"Your Subject is honored to do that," Fang Shuping kowtowed again.

There must be a lot of remnants of Yan Wuji in various places in the Yan Kingdom, but at least on Yan Capital's side, Yan Wuji's power had been wiped out.

And as long as Yan Wuji's power in Yan Capital was wiped out, the remaining people would not be troublesome.

On a good day, the enthronement ceremony began.

Fang Shuping presided over, Yan Ran ascended the throne, and Mo Xiu, as Yan Ran's patron, was also invited to crown Yan Ran.

After that, Yan Ran told the world that all Provincial Lords, City Lords, and generals of the legions from all over the country had to come to visit Yan within the specified time, otherwise, they would send a large army to crusade.

After the new empress ascended the throne, many people were enshrined, and a group of people was admitted to the court, and the court quickly resumed operation.

The palace and Yan Kingdom had also restored order, and the blood that was once contaminated had been washed away, making it seem like that there had never been any turmoil.

It was supposed to be a day for the whole nation to celebrate, but the people of Yan Capital and the eunuchs and maids of the palace were not very happy.

Rather, they were already feeling numb. After all, the Yan Kingdom had been in turmoil for this period of time. From the usurpation of Yan Wuji to the enthronement of Yan Ran as an empress, they were not sure if any misfortune would appear next.

A small number of people were relatively well-informed, knowing that Mo Xiu killed two core disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect, they were even more flustered. They even fled the Yan Kingdom with his family at the moment when Yan Ran was enthroned, lest the elders of the Seraphic Sword Sect would lead the surrounding nations to kill thousands of people and end up in ruins too.

The people in the various provinces of the Yan Kingdom couldn't be said to be happy. They had just been conquered by Yan Wuji and surrendered to Yan Wuji. But in a blink of an eye, Yan Wuji was overthrown by Yan Ran and had to surrender to Yan Ran.

On the contrary, Azure Prefecture's people, where Sun Martial City was located, were full of joy when they heard the news of Yan Ran becoming the empress as they went to the streets to tell each other and celebrate each other.

Needless to say Sun Martial City, today's Fu City of the Azure Prefecture, the city lord was Wang Mingkui, Mo Miao controlled Azure Prefecture, and several cities under the jurisdiction of Azure Prefecture were now also controlled by the Mo Family.

It could be said that the entire Azure Prefecture belonged to the Mo Family, and Yan Ran's patron, Mo Xiu, was also a member of the Mo Family, so the implications could be imagined.

However, while celebrating Yan Ran's ascension to the throne, Mo Miao suddenly received a piece of very bad news, so he hurriedly sent people to rush to Yan Capital, and reported the news to Yan Ran and Mo Xiu urgently.

...

Yan Capital Palace.

A special palace was vacated.

Both Yan Ran and Mo Xiu lived in this palace.

Su Qianqian from the Su Family relied on the relationship with Mo Xiu and Yan Ran and moved in with her confidant maid Luo Er.

The defensive array in the Five Carapace District was still there, but it had stopped functioning because the empress of the Yan Kingdom was Yan Ran, so there would be no more army to encircle the Five Carapace District nor would there be people waiting to arrest members of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.

Yan Ran once said that she would compensate Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, and now, she had done what he said. The right to operate the salt mine, which should be controlled by the court, would be handed over to Rainbow Chamber of Commerce. Only holding this power could make Rainbow Chamber of Commerce to a higher level. 

In addition, many people in the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce followed Mo Xiu to participate in the battle at the Butchering Peak Hunting Grounds, and their cultivation bases had been upgraded from the Core Formation Realm to the Spirit Vessel Realm.

Although those Spirit Vessel Realm cultivators were forcibly promoted by Mo Xiu using secret methods and there were great hidden dangers, no matter, they were still the ninety-nine Spirit Vessel Realm masters.

As could be imagined for the terrifying strength of the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce today, it could be said that the entire Yan Kingdom would not be able to find such a powerful force, even if it was Alchemy League, it would not be able to find so many Spirit Vessel Realm masters.

Among the seven major families that made up the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, the strength gap had also become a bit disparity. Originally, the Su Family was dominant, and the other major families were also very strong.

But the last time Mo Xiu looked for some people from the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce to participate in the battle, the Su Family gave the most people, and the other big families gave very few people so that almost all the Spirit Vessel Realm experts cultivated were from the Su Family.

Mo Xiu was invited by Su Qianqian to join the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce, and he could also be regarded as a member of the Su Family.

In this way, the Su Family not only dominated the Rainbow Chamber of Commerce but also became a vassal of the entire Rainbow Chamber of Commerce.

Several other big families complained about this, but they didn't dare to express it clearly.

Although the place where they lived was the imperial palace, to Mo Xiu, Yan Ran, and Su Qianqian, everything was no different.

Mo Xiu knew that the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect would soon bring thousands of troops from the surrounding countries into the Yan Kingdom, but he was not in a hurry to cultivate.

After Yan Ran's enthronement was over, Mo Xiu wandered around the palace, arranged several killing arrays and defensive arrays, and finally returned to the palace where he lived to portray the Teleportation Array.

After a rumbling sound, a large Teleportation Array took shape.

Su Qianqian and Yan Ran were both watching, and they couldn't help but wonder.

Su Qianqian then stepped forward to ask, "This is the Teleportation Array? Where will it teleport to?"

Mo Xiu entered the Teleportation Array and said to Yan Ran and Su Qianqian, "If you are not afraid, you can go and have a look together."

Yan Ran and Su Qianqian entered the Teleportation Array without saying a word.

As the light flashed, the three of them were immediately teleported away by the Teleportation Array.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them moved away from the Yan Kingdom Palace and appeared in an ordinary but relatively unique courtyard.

Looking around, Yan Ran couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is... Sun Martial City Mo Family's house!"

Su Qianqian had never been to Sun Martial City, and it was even more impossible to know the layout of the Mo Family. She was also a little surprised when she heard that.

At this time, a figure entered the yard, and when she saw the three figures that suddenly appeared, she couldn't help but be stunned.

As the fragrant wind blew his face, the person in the blink of an eye rushed into Mo Xiu's arms and said excitedly, "Mo Xiu, you are finally back!"

The person who entered the yard was the current city lord and the lord of the Mo Family, Mo Ruyi.

Mo Xiu's arrangement of the Teleportation Array was also a temporary motive. Even if there was a Teleportation Array set by him in the courtyard, he would not be able to teleport it back from the palace at once.

In this case, it was naturally impossible to notify Mo Ruyi in advance, so Mo Ruyi did not know that Mo Xiu will be back.

This was just a premonition she had in the dark, and even she herself didn't know why she had such a premonition. She didn't expect that when she came back casually, she really saw Mo Xiu.

The extreme coincidence even made her wonder if she was dreaming.

Yan Ran lived in Mo's mansion for a period of time, and he naturally recognized Mo Ruyi.

Su Qianqian had never seen Mo Ruyi, but she had also heard about Mo Ruyi. So even if Mo Xiu didn't say it clearly, it was not difficult to guess the identity of Mo Ruyi.

Feeling the heartbeat and body temperature of Mo Ruyi in his arms, Mo Xiu's body stiffened slightly, although he didn't say anything, he raised his hand and touched Mo Ruyi's head.

Mo Ruyi obviously did not expect that Mo Xiu would behave like this. For a while, she was a little shy and buried her head in Mo Xiu's arms. She didn't dare to see Mo Xiu, let alone Yan Ran and Su Qianqian.

On the contrary, when both Yan Ran and Su Qianqian looked at this scene, they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

...

Yan Capital.

A figure walked into the former Mountain and River Medical Center.

This was a woman, wearing a long black dress, but her skin was fair, in contrast with the black outfit. Her facial features were also very delicate, but her lips were black as if she was poisoned.

Being able to walk so freely, naturally, it was impossible for her to be poisoned. But she did hide all kinds of poisons, countless people in the cultivation world called her "Poison Widow".

She looked around in the ruined Mountain and River Medical Center, sighed, and muttered to herself, "Good apprentice, I, your teacher, will avenge you!"

Her slender hands gently lifted, and a cloud of invisible and colorless gas emerged from her sleeves, escaping, and swept in all directions.
