Translator: 549690339

Ye Xiaoxiao’s face was icy, “You two, how do you still have the nerve to plead?”

“It seems you don’t realize your faults.”

“It’s perfectly normal to fight for inheritance, there are winners and losers, but you should never have colluded with outsiders to plot against the Great Yue

Kingdom.”

Boom!

Ye Xiaoxiao’s words struck like a thunderbolt, causing the two to fall to their seats.

At this moment, Ye Xiaoxiao displayed the dignity of a queen.

Lord Yuanzhou lowered his head in shame, but Lord Wen Cheng raised his head, his eyes filled with bitterness and discontent.

“Ye Xiaoxiao, what right do you have to chastise us? Haven’t you also colluded with outsiders?”

Upon these words, all the officials lifted their heads.

Who were these suddenly appearing cultivators?

Could it be that Ye Xiaoxiao has indeed colluded with forces outside of the Great Yue Kingdom?

“The people we invited were at least cultivators within the Great Yue Kingdom, but your people are not from the Great Yue Kingdom, right?”

Everyone turned their gaze to Ye Xiaoxiao, hoping to get the answer from her.

Before Ye Xiaoxiao could reply, Emperor Yu spoke up.

“These people are not outsiders.”

Boom!

Emperor Yu’s words sparked uproar among the audience.

Not outsiders?

Could these people also be from the royal family?

But how could they not know that the royal family had so many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators?

“I don’t believe it, Royal Grandpa. You don’t need to make excuses for Ye Xiaoxiao. These people are outsiders. I would accept Ye Xiaoxiao’s ascension to the throne, but I cannot accept my loss as I have not plotted against the Great Yue Kingdom. Ye Xiaoxiao is the real traitor!”

Lord Wen Cheng held his head high, appearing brave.

However, in reality, Lord Wen Cheng was seeking his last chance for survival.

If he could confirm that Ye Xiaoxiao had also called upon outsiders, then everyone would be seen as plotting against the kingdom. Perhaps Emperor Yu would spare his life.

“Enough!”

Emperor Yu suddenly stood up and swept his gaze over the officials.

“Since you all want to know, I will tell you who these people are. These people are from my third brother’s family! ”

Emperor Yu’s third brother?

The elder officials in the audience recalled a glorious figure.

The War God of the Great Yue Kingdom, the invincible general, Mountain King.

The Mountain King was once a glorious figure, having fought for half of the Great Yue Kingdom’s territory.

However, after the great war with the Great Yue Kingdom, the Mountain King disappeared.

Some said the Mountain King had died, others said he had grown weary and retired.

But only these old officials knew that the Mountain King was seriously injured, his cultivation level completely destroyed.

Those days many officials felt regret, lamenting the fall of a great warrior.

This meant these people were descendants of the Mountain King?

The title of Mountain King was hereditary, so was Ye Fan the new Mountain King?

A military official knelt down with teary eyes: “Greetings, Mountain King.”

Subsequently, more and more officials knelt down: “Greetings, Mountain King.”

Lord Wen Cheng lost all his momentum and dropped to the ground.

Mountain King, these people were not outsiders, but his own royal brother, the real direct line of the Ye Family!

On Ye Fan’s side, he finally stopped his attack and withdrew his magic power.

Ye Lu successfully formed a Nascent Soul, not only was she safe, but her lifespan had also extended by 1500 years; it was a blessing in disguise. When Ye Fan heard the crowd hailing him as Mountain King, he was stunned.

When did he become this so-called Mountain King?

Could it be that the Great Yue Kingdom wanted him to be their Mountain King?

Seeing Ye Fan’s confusion, Ye Lu explained the history to him.

It turned out that after the Mountain King lost his cultivation level, he ignored his older brothers’ retainment and went to Guanghe Prefecture, marrying a commoner and settling down.

That was when the Mountain King completely lost contact with the royal family of the Great Yue Kingdom.

The Mountain King knew that he had too many enemies, and his complete disappearance was a necessity to prevent disaster befalling Ye Fan and the others.

Late on, Ye Lu happened to encounter Ye Xiaoxiao, it was then that Ye Xiaoxiao was alerted to their shared ancestry.

Upon learning that Ye Fan’s line was well off, Ye Lu didn’t reveal her identity, for the sake of protecting them.

It all does sound rather melodramatic, but as Ye Lu explained, all of it was true.

The Great Yue Kingdom continued to be under the control of the Ye family.

What came next was pretty straightforward.

With one swift stroke of his sword, Ye Fan put an end to the Soul Devouring Ancestor, leaving no loose ends.

Though Emperor Yu’s strength dwindled, he managed to stand up.

“I hereby announce, Ye Xiaoxiao, to be the successor to the throne,” he proclaimed. “In addition, the line of the Mountain King will return, and Ye Fan will be the new Mountain King. Your residence still belongs to your line.”

Having finished his last words, Emperor Yu slowly sat down on the throne, his gaze turning to Ye Fan.

“Little Fan, I understand that you might not hold any affection for the Great Yue Kingdom, but I hope, if the Kingdom faces difficulties, you would step in to help. This is not the wish of your grandfather, but simply a request from an old man,” he pleaded.

Emperor Yu looked at Ye Fan intensely, hoping to get an answer from him.

He understood that if his grandson gave his consent, the Great Yue Kingdom would at the very least persist for a few more millennia.

Having worked his whole life for the Great Yue Kingdom, Emperor Yu was on his deathbed but his thoughts were still about his kingdom.

Ye Fan exhaled slowly and replied with a resolute: “Okay.”

“Good, good, good!”

Emperor Yu’s face glowed with a rosy hue. Then, slowly, he closed his eyes.

The next moment, his hand holding onto the throne began to slide down.

The last signs of life left him.

“Royal Grandpa!”

“Big brother!”

Ye Lu and Ye Xiaoxiao lunged towards him, calling out to him in desperation. But their cries were met with silence.

“The Emperor has passed away!”

The eunuch’s shrill voice echoed throughout the main palace hall.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Nine tolls of the bell, resounding through the royal city!

Emperor Yu had passed away!

Mournful cries from the citizens erupted all over the royal city.

Ye Fan was not sure if Emperor Yu was a good relative, but he was sure that Emperor Yu was a good ruler.

Even in his old age, with his control diminishing, he remained a good ruler.

Three days later, Ye Xiaoxiao ascended to the throne, becoming the first Empress in the history of Great Yue Kingdom.

The first thing Ye Xiaoxiao did after taking the throne was to execute those who deserved punishment!

Traitors, killed!

Those with malicious intentions, killed!

Two major sects, annihilated!

rlAJ0 lords, killed by Ye Xiaoxiao personally, in front of everyone.

Blood soaked Ye Xiaoxiao’s phoenix robe, making her appearance even more intimidating.

After executing the two lords, Ye Xiaoxiao continued to eradicate a group of officials who were rebellious in the past,

No one would be spared judging by Ye Xiaoxiao’s principle.

With Ye Xiaoxiao in charge, disciples from the Ye family took action!

Even Ye Fan took matters into his own hands, annihilating the White Horse Association and the Soul Devouring Sect.

Ye Fan wanted to remove any hidden threats for Ye Xiaoxiao, to present her a stable Great Yue Kingdom.

Being panicked, all the major sects and noble families of the Great Yue Kingdom rushed to swear their allegiance to Ye Xiaoxiao.

In the past, the Great Yue Kingdom only had one aging Nascent Soul Stage practitioner, Emperor Yu, whom these sects and noble families could disregard.

But with Emperor Yu’s death, the Great Yue Kingdom has become even stronger.

Their intelligence networks have already passed this information to every influential force..
