“Nephew, it’s been a while.”

Lu Yunzhi’s majestic phoenix eyes looked at Lin Shihuang, revealing a hint of amusement.

“However, after all this time, how come your heart has become so ruthless? This is not like you.”

Upon hearing the Empress of Great Zhou’s words, a surge of rage engulfed Lin Shihuang’s chest.

“Wretch, you murdered my father, slaughtered more than a thousand of my royal family, who is actually the ruthless one!”

“Impudence!”

An official from the Court of Heaven at the side scolded him, clearly dissatisfied with Lin Shihuang’s attitude.

Lu Yunzhi motioned reassuringly for them to relax, nine crowns on her head, her eyebrows like paintings, even though she looked like a woman, but did not look old, about the age of twenty-eight or so, tall, her long imperial robe trailing on the ground, but exuding a sense of cold arrogance.

Although she looked slightly mature, despite her appearance looking young, her actual age was far more than twenty.

This was Han Ye’s first time seeing the highest ruler of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Empress of Great Zhou.

Before, she was just a distant figure introduced in the background.

The emperor was high and far-reaching, not caring about Langlang Village or the Dragon Sparrow Sect.

But now, the Empress of Great Zhou was right in front of him, making him take a closer look.

Lu Yunzhi naturally noticed the handsome man in white in front of her, her eyes revealed a touch of admiration. Han Ye’s ability to turn the tide and shock the Capital City with his sword earlier was naturally etched in her sight.

Such a great talent in swordsmanship, she wondered which power he belonged to. If she could recruit him, it would definitely be of great benefit to her.

“Scum of Lu family, I’ll make you pay for a thousand souls of my royal family!” Lin Shihuang shouted, his body shrouded in a shadow of a black Jiaolong, roaring incessantly, as if aiming directly at the vital parts.

Lu Yunzhi shook her head slightly: “I’ve said it before, under my reign, all twenty-four provinces of Great Zhou have been peaceful and prosperous. Ten years ago, the previous emperor died due to sickness, many coveted the throne. It was your father who left behind the issue of the Northern Great Wall. If it weren’t for me, the whole of Great Zhou would have been overthrown by the rebellious army long ago. You’re far in the fief, easily manipulated by those with ulterior motives. What you want to hear is only what others let you hear.” However, Lin Shihuang did not want to hear her explanation, and charged forward directly.

Yet, a middle-aged man in a white robe beside Lu Yunzhi, with a detached expression, pointed a finger at the black Jiaolong.

“Whoosh!”

In an instant, the black demon qi dissipated, the Jiaolong instantly melted, turning into a pile of green smoke.

Under the protection of a hidden influential person from the Immortal Gate, she was able to ascend the throne and become the Empress of Great Zhou. Afterwards, she arranged troops and made strategic decisions, demonstrating remarkable military talent. After the war, she gained the support of the people of Great Zhou, securing her position as the empress.

‘The Empress of Great Zhou, sweeping across territories, initiating an era of peace, and winning the people’s hearts’ are twelve words that are enshrined in statues by the people of Great Zhou. Can you believe that you didn’t know this?” Han Ye shook his head: “I had heard about it, but didn’t know the details.” He had always been in Langlang Village without any access to such information. Even in Dragon Sparrow Sect’s scripture hall, the topic of the empress’ ascension was briefly mentioned, which he thought was a minor matter the humans had and not of great importance.

The only knowledge he had of the Empress of the Great Zhou came from Lin Shihuang.

Having heard Bai Qiufu’s explanation, he now had a much clearer picture.

This empress was able to assume the throne, thanks in large part to the support of Wuliang Tian.

As the leader of the Nine Great Immortal Gates, Wuliang Tian, with its ancient lineage, boasts a history of over a hundred thousand years. During the ancient era, it had produced a Heaven Honoured One, who dominated an entire era.

What is a Heaven Honoured One?

In the ancient era, in the entire cultivator world, only one person emerges in each Yuan Meeting, considered as the common lord of the immortals – the reigning Heaven Honoured One.

A Yuan Meeting lasts for a hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years.

A Heaven Honoured One signifies the supreme being, invincible in the hundred and twenty thousand plus years.

The eternal existence of Wuliang Immortal Gate is referred to as Wuliang Heaven Honoured One.

“Thank you for lending me the sword.”

Only after a long while did Han Ye recall that he had borrowed the Immortal Sword Cold Waterfall yet not returned it.

To be honest, that immortal sword really suited him and he rather liked it.

But it was ultimately someone else’s possession and he could not forcibly take it.

The other party is right in front of him now, most likely wanting to ask for it back but just didn’t know how to bring it up.

“You’re welcome. The sword truly unleashed its utmost power in your hands.” Bai Qiufu was still amazed by Han Ye’s unrivaled sword intent.

Resting her cold and majesty eyes on Han Ye, Lu Yunzhi revealed a hint of gentleness and spoke sincerely,

“If you do not have a suitable magic treasure, feel free to claim a sword from the National Treasury as our gratitude for assisting us.”

Han Ye was quite surprised. He didn’t expect the Empress of Great Zhou to be so courteous, even proactively offering him a sword.

Could she be showing a bit too much favour?
