Chapter 107: Blood Stained the Court

The golem disappeared, and Mo Xiu's figure appeared.

Yan Ran looked at the two disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect who had died, and asked, "You really can even deal with the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect?"

"Not for the time being," Mo Xiu shook his head slightly.

Hearing this, Yan Ran was stunned, somewhat worried, "What that person said should be true, killing the core disciple of the Seraphic Sword Sect, the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect is really likely to come to the door."

"So what?" Mo Xiu didn't care.

"It's not a question of how or what," Yan Ran sighed. "It's a pleasure to kill them now. What should we do if the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect comes to the door?"

"Rest assured."

Mo Xiu gave Yan Ran a reassuring look, "Since I dare to kill them, I naturally have the means to protect myself, and the means to protect the entire Yan kingdom, whether it is the elder of the Seraphic Sword Sect or the Sect Master, with me here, it does not constitute a threat."

Yan Ran didn't know where Mo Xiu's confidence came from, but since Mo Xiu said so, there must be no problem, so she couldn't help but relax.

Mo Xiu shot out True Fire and burned the bodies of two disciples of the Seraphic Sword Sect, and immediately said, "Wu Qingshan should be almost done, let's go to the court and wait."

"Good," Yan Ran nodded lightly.

...

The court.

This was originally a meeting place for Emperor Yan and the ministers of the court, but since Yan Wuji usurped the throne, he had only been to the court several times, so that the court hall was almost abandoned.

The eunuchs and palace maids were scared to hide from the screams inside the royal palace. The guards of the palace had either surrendered or were fighting with the army led by Wu Qingshan. Naturally, it was impossible to guard the court.

Therefore, the entire court was now empty.

Looking at the empty court hall, Yan Ran was full of emotions in her heart, but she didn't say anything, just waited silently with Mo Xiu.

God knew how long it took, the shouts of killing in the palace gradually ceased.

Mo Xiu's Divine Consciousness had been covering the entire palace, and he knew everything about the palace very well. When the war was over, he transmitted to Wu Qingshan and asked Wu Qingshan to come to the court to see him.

After another moment, Wu Qingshan's figure appeared and slowly stepped into the court.

"Your Subject has seen Your Royal Highness, Young Master Mo," Wu Qingshan bowed on one knee and saluted.

"Get up," Yan Ran raised her hand slightly.

After Wu Qingshan got up, he said, "Your Royal Highness, Young Master Mo, the order of Yan Capital is being restored, the palace guards have been wiped out, and the concubines and several children of the rebel Yan Wuji are under our control. So please declare your next decree."

Yan Ran frowned slightly, and took a look at Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu was silent for a while, then said, "Cut the grass and remove the roots, no one should stay alive."

Wu Qingshan's figure trembled slightly, and couldn't help but glance at Yan Ran. Seeing Yan Ran nodded slightly, he said, "Yes!"

Just as he was about to withdraw, Mo Xiu added, "By the way, send someone to call the courtiers into the palace and tell them to discuss the new emperor's accession to the throne."

...

Although Yan Wuji hadn't gone to court for a long time, it was not to the point that he did not even have a courtier. Otherwise, the court would not function and the entire Yan Kingdom would really be out of order.

A group of courtiers had residences in various places in Yan Capital.

When the turmoil that swept the entire Yan Capital city occurred, many courtiers were suffering, but the real powers in the court were still somewhat powerful in Yan Capital, and the power of the government was not weak, so basically, there was no major problem.

The courtiers who had already suffered were naturally unable to go to court. As for those who were safe and sound, as long as they were found, they would be taken to the palace.

Mo Xiu and Yan Ran waited at the court for about an hour, and more than a hundred people arrived.

The huge court hall could accommodate more than a hundred people. There should be two to three hundred people who were eligible to participate in the court affairs, but the remaining people would probably never come.

As a former princess, most courtiers were not unfamiliar with Yan Ran, but Mo Xiu was different.

Many people had only heard about Mo Xiu's rumors, knowing that Mo Xiu was very powerful and bold, but it was the first time that they were so close to Mo Xiu, and the understanding of Mo Xiu was also very limited.

Although Mo Xiu's cold appearance made them feel a bit scary, most of the courtiers did not show any fear, instead, they were somewhat arrogant and contemptuous.

Mo Xiu had a full view of everyone's reaction. Seeing that the time was about to come, he said, "Everyone is almost here, so I'll just say it. The rebel Yan Wuji has been eliminated by me, but the country cannot survive without a monarch, so I call everyone here today to hold the ceremony of the new emperor's ascension."

"Hold on!"

Immediately, someone came out, "You said you want to hold the new emperor's ascension ceremony, who is going to ascend to the throne? Is it you who wants to be the emperor?"

Mo Xiu glanced at the man.

Although the name of that person was unknown, depending on where he was standing, his status in the court should not be low. It was probably the prime minister of Yan Wuji when he was in court.

Even if it was really the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom, he was still somewhat presumptuous to question Mo Xiu at this time.

But Mo Xiu didn't care, and shook his head, "I am not interested in the throne. It is Yan Ran who is going to ascend the throne. From now on, she will be the new lord of the Yan Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, the courtiers looked at each other.

Soon, the suspected prime minister sneered, "Haha, who do you think you are? The throne is a matter of great importance. Can it be decided with a word from you?"

Mo Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked blankly, "Then what do you think?"

"Yan Ran is just a weak female. It is not suitable to be the lord of Yan Kingdom. The tradition of Yan Kingdom has been for thousands of years, and there has never been a precedent for a woman to be in power," the man said confidently.

"What then?" Mo Xiu motioned to the other party to continue.

The person didn't seem to expect Mo Xiu to speak so well, and continued, "Prince Yan Qi has been killed by you, and I don't want to say anything. But the second prince Yan Hao is a beautiful candidate when the new prince's candidate has not yet been established, so I recommend Yan Hao as the new emperor."

"Yan Hao?"

Mo Xiu didn't know such a person, but since he was the second prince in this population, he should be Yan Wuji's second son.

Yan Wuji's concubine and children had been wiped out by Mo Xiu's orders. Where did the second prince come from?

He didn't hide it, and said directly, "Yan Hao is dead, and all the princes have been killed by me."

The man was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said, "In this case, Prince Yan Hui can be the candidate for the throne."

Yan Hui, a prince who was canonized by Yan Wuji not long ago, was Yan Ran's cousin by seniority.

This person had always been timid and weak, and had no independent opinion. Unlike a member of the royal family, if he really wanted to become the emperor of the Yan Kingdom, he would probably be played by a group of courtiers.

Mo Xiu did not immediately object, but looked at other courtiers and asked, "What do you think?"

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

...

Many courtiers expressed their opinions one after another, which showed how profound the influence of the suspected prime minister was in the court of Yan Kingdom.

Mo Xiu was silent for a while before he said, "Very well, it seems that you already have an object of allegiance. In that case, this court does not need you anymore."

After speaking, he shouted, "Come here, slaughter all the people who just seconded."

A rush of footsteps sounded, and a group of warriors guarding outside the court rushed in, and under the leadership of Wu Qingshan, they arrested all the courtiers who had just seconded.

The suspected prime minister was not arrested. After all, what Mo Xiu said just now was to kill all the seconders, but he didn't say that he would kill the proposers as well.

In any case, the sudden change still shocked the courtiers.

Without staying idle, the suspected prime minister said angrily, "Mo Xiu, do you know what you are doing? The court is the Holy Hall; how can it be tarnished like this? The succession to the throne is a major matter of the country. How can you allow yourself to be so presumptuous?"

Mo Xiu was too lazy to talk nonsense with the other party, he just waved his hand, "Kill."

The courtiers who were arrested immediately panicked, and no longer dared to oppose Mo Xiu, they all pleaded for grievances.

A group of cultivators had been ordered, naturally, regardless of whether the other party was wronged or not, they had turned into executioners, with knives in their hands, blood splashing, countless heads falling to the ground, and the whole court was washed with blood everywhere.

"Mo Xiu, you...!"

The suspected prime minister suddenly looked extremely angry.

But after that, he did not continue to accuse him. Instead, he waved his sleeves and said dissatisfiedly, "Tyrant, not worth consulting!"

After speaking, he turned and left.

It wouldn't be a good thing if he didn't leave, he had already seen Mo Xiu's determination to support Yan Ran's superior position. If he continued to stay in this court, he feared that his life would be in danger without fail.

However, he was also an important minister of the imperial court anyway, and he wanted to save face in any case, so he couldn't leave dingy as he chose to say dissatisfiedly as if he just didn't want to get along with Mo Xiu.

He walked out of the court, looking very awe-inspiring.

In the court hall, those courtiers who hadn't spoken to agree before, after making eye contact, turned around silently and followed the suspected prime minister.

Just before these people walked out of the court, Mo Xiu's cold voice rang again, "Did I say I want you to leave?"

"..."

The courtiers were stunned.

Those who were walking outside the chaotic hall paused and felt a little at a loss for a while.

Mo Xiu glanced at Wu Qingshan, and said with a look, "Kill!"

Wu Qingshan understood, and immediately led a group of strong soldiers to rush towards those who were about to leave, and started killing.

"Mo Xiu, you can't kill me. Once you kill me, you and Yan Ran will be infamous forever!" the suspected prime minister couldn't take care of his face anymore and quickly turned around and shouted.

But Wu Qingshan came to the person in person and said with a sneer, "Lord Wang, I will send you on the road!"

As he said, with a wave of a big sword in his hand, he instantly beheaded that person.
