Sign In Ten Years, Then I Am Exposed By My Gorgeous Senior Novel - Chapter 100
Chapter 100: The Intervention of the Eastern Empire!
Xiao Lie led the entire army of the Sunset Cloud City to surround Ye Chen.
They watched the miserable state of the Xiao Clan.
The entire Xiao Clan had been wiped out.
Not a single one of them survived.
Xiao Lie and Xiao Zhantian had been able to avoid a calamity because they were in the City Lord’s manor!
“How could this be? How could our great Xiao Clan be wiped out so easily? No, this is impossible! Impossible!” Xiao Lie howled with heart-wrenching pain.
“This isn’t real, this isn’t real!”
Xiao Lie’s eyes were completely red, and his eyeballs were completely bloodshot.
“Immortal Destiny Holy Land, I’m going to kill all of you, I’m going to destroy the entire Immortal Destiny Holy Land!”
“All soldiers, listen to my orders, kill!”
Instantly, one by one, the cavalry charged toward Ye Chen.
They were only soldiers, and all they could do was listen to the City Lord’s orders. If the City Lord wanted them to kill, they had to kill.
Instantly, the soldiers charged in front of Ye Chen.
At this moment.
Suddenly, a powerful aura appeared.
A rolling pressure enveloped the sky.
At this moment, all the soldiers stopped.
In front of all the soldiers, there was a fair and calm person standing.
Ye Chen looked up and saw that this father-in-law’s cultivation was very high. He was actually at the peak of the Transcending Tribulation Realm.
However, this eunuch’s peak of the Transcending Tribulation Realm was much stronger than Xiao Clan’s Grandmaster’s peak of the Transcending Tribulation Realm.
If he were to face this eunuch, even Ye Chen might not be able to beat him.
The eunuch held the imperial edict in his hand and stood in front of everyone. His powerful pressure suppressed everyone.
He looked at Xiao Lie and said, “The Sunset Cloud City’s City Lord, Xiao Lie, receives the imperial edict!”
At this moment, Ye Chen did not know what was going on either?
He did not make a move, only calmly watching.
A eunuch came to announce the imperial edict. Could it be that the Eastern Empire wanted to intervene in this matter?
If the Eastern Empire really wanted to intervene, then it should not be a problem for him to kill the Xiao father and son and leave.
As for that eunuch, although he was at the peak of the Transcending Tribulation Realm, it was uncertain who would win or lose against him.
However, if Ye Chen wanted to leave, that eunuch would not be able to stop him.
Hence, Ye Chen decided to wait and see first.
Xiao Lie immediately led Xiao Zhantian off his steed and knelt on the ground.
This was an imperial edict from the Eastern Empire. As the City Lord of Sunset Cloud City, how could he not accept it?
Xiao Lie brought Xiao Zhantian and knelt on the ground with his head lowered.
At this moment, the eunuch began to read out the imperial edict.
“In accordance with the fate of the heavens, the emperor has decreed that the City Lord of Sunset Cloud City, Xiao Lie, has neglected his duties during his reign. The six great aristocratic families of Sunset Cloud City did not lend a helping hand when they were destroyed and have privately mobilized their troops to defend the city. This is an additional crime. Thus, the position of City Lord will be removed and the new City Lord will be able to decide what to do with him.” The eunuch said.
Hearing these words, Xiao Lie was incomparably shocked.
His eyes widened.
He could not believe what he had heard.
This…
What was His Majesty trying to do?
He had been the City Lord for 27 years?
Why did His Majesty…
“Eunuch Liu, His Majesty, he…” Xiao Lie looked at the eunuch in embroidered clothes and asked.
“Xiao Lie, why aren’t you accepting the imperial edict? Do you dare to disobey the imperial edict?” Eunuch Liu said sternly.
“I…I…I…accept the imperial edict!”
Xiao Lie was incomparably shocked. He did not know why this was the case?
Why did His Majesty want to help the Immortal Destiny Holy Land? Why did he want to help Xu Qiuya?
Why was this the case?
He could not figure it out.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu did not leave. He arrived in front of Ye Chen’s Eldest Senior Sister Xu Qiuya in the blink of an eye.
Ye Chen was greatly shocked. In the blink of an eye, he stood in front of Xu Qiuya, facing Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu looked at Ye Chen with a smile and said, “Fellow Daoist, don’t panic? I don’t mean any harm. Actually, I brought another imperial edict with me this time.”
“Another imperial edict?” Ye Chen was somewhat surprised.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu took out an imperial edict from his arm and said with a smile, “Xu Qiuya, accept the imperial edict!”
Eldest Senior Sister Xu Qiuya was instantly shocked.
She did not dare to believe it.
Why would the emperor of the Eastern Empire issue an imperial edict to her?
She was merely a disciple of a remote sect. The Eastern Empire was a large country within the borders of the entire Eastern Continent. How could it have anything to do with her?
Ye Chen also did not understand.
However, if this imperial edict had any impolite requests, so what if Ye Chen resisted the imperial edict?
With his cultivation level, even if he was hunted down by the Eastern Empire and fled for a few years, he would wait until he had completed his tribulation before going to destroy the Eastern Empire.
Xu Qiuya did not dare to disobey and immediately replied, “I am here.”
At this moment, Eunuch Liu smiled and said, “In accordance with heaven’s will, the emperor has decreed that back then, Xu Zhenying, the head of the Xu Clan, was murdered by a treacherous person. I didn’t investigate the matter thoroughly and have not cleared Xu Clan’s name.
“Back then, Sunset Cloud City should have been the city lord of Xu Zhenying, but Xu Zhenying has already passed away. Therefore, Xu Qiuya is specially appointed as the next City Lord of Sunset Cloud City!”
Xu Qiuya was extremely shocked when she heard these words.
She did not dare to believe it.
Sunset Cloud City was the border city of the Eastern Empire. Originally, the selection of the City Lord had been completed by the old City Lord, and the Eastern Empire would not interfere in it.
But now, why did the Eastern Empire issue two imperial edicts in succession?
And they even made her the City Lord of Sunset Cloud City. What was going on?
“Xu Qiuya, His Majesty wants you to be the City Lord of Sunset Cloud City. Are you willing?”
“This was your father’s long-cherished wish all those years ago. That year, your father was labeled as a traitor in Eastern Imperial City. Your Xu Clan was also slandered as a traitor family. Although an imperial edict was issued, it was still difficult to wash away your Xu Clan’s reputation.”
“But if you become the City Lord of Sunset Cloud City, then the entire Sunset Cloud City will not know that your Xu Clan was framed back then. You can also wash away the wrongs of your Xu Clan and wash away the wrongs of your father.”
Xu Qiuya raised her head and looked at Eunuch Liu.
At this moment, Eunuch Liu smiled and said, “His Majesty also said that if you are unwilling, you can be the City Lord for two days before handing it over to someone else.”
Xu Qiuya was incomparably shocked.
She was merely a remnant of the Xu Clan of Sunset Cloud City. She had no relationship with the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, and neither did she have any relationship with the emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.
Why would the emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom treat her like this?
Ye Chen looked at Eunuch Liu suspiciously.
He could not figure it out?
Could it be…
Could it be that the emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom coveted his Eldest Senior Sister’s body and wanted…
No.
This was absolutely impossible.
If his Eldest Senior Sister married the Emperor, what would he do?
He had to stop her!
At this moment, Ye Chen stood in front of his Eldest Senior Sister and said indifferently, “Eunuch Liu, I’m afraid this matter…”
Eunuch Liu smiled at Ye Chen and said, “Fellow Daoist, His Majesty also said that if fellow Daoist is willing, His Majesty would invite fellow Daoist to become the imperial advisor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. Of course, His Majesty was worried that fellow Daoist wouldn’t like mortal matters in the mortal world, so he didn’t force it.”
Ye Chen was shocked.
Just what was this emperor up to?
To invite him to become the imperial advisor and his Eldest Senior Sister to become the City Lord?
Could it be that the emperor had a relationship with the Immortal Destiny Holy Land?
Eunuch Liu continued to look at Xu Qiuya and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Xu. His Majesty has no ill intentions. His Majesty asked me to ask a question.”
Xu Qiuya hurriedly asked, “What question?”
Eunuch Liu smiled and looked at Xu Qiuya. “His Majesty wants to ask how your master is doing recently!”
