Eternal Immortal Clan: It All Started When I Married My Junior Sister!

94: He ascended to the position of Imperial Tutor, and the hearts of the people turned to him!The warm jade seal settled in his hand, and a vast surge of national destiny, connected to his Bloodline, instantly poured into Qin Zhe’s body.

His frail body trembled violently.

A faint trace of color appeared on his pale face.

He looked at Chen Xu’s calm, indifferent eyes.

For some unknown reason, the fear and panic in his heart miraculously subsided.

A sense of courage and responsibility, unlike anything he had ever felt, arose from the depths of his heart.

He took a deep breath, gripped the jade seal tightly in his hand, and solemnly bowed to Chen Xu.

”Your student... will respectfully obey the Imperial Tutor’s teachings!”

Imperial Tutor!

He directly established Chen Xu’s title!

Having said that, he turned around and, under everyone’s gaze, stepped through the bloodstains and over the corpses, walking towards the solitary Dragon Throne at the top of the ninety-nine-zhang-high altar.

His steps, at first, were still a little shaky.

But the higher he walked, the steadier they became.

His back, too, gradually straightened from its initial frailty.

It was as if every step he took merged with the national destiny of the Great Feng Dynasty.

Finally, Qin Zhe, the most unlikely prince of the Great Feng Dynasty, under the gaze of all.

Slowly sat upon the Dragon Throne, which symbolized Supreme authority.

A new era, belonging to him... and also to Chen Xu, thus began.

Immediately after settling on the Dragon Throne, the first thing Qin Zhe did was not to appease his officials.

Nor was it to issue decrees.

He looked at the figure in green robes below the altar and, with an incredibly respectful tone, asked, ”Imperial Tutor, how should these rebellious officials and traitors who colluded with Prince Yu, Qin Kai, disrupted the court, and harmed loyal subjects be dealt with?”

His voice, amplified by the national destiny, spread throughout the entire venue.

Among the large group of officials kneeling below, a considerable number of people suddenly trembled.

Cold sweat instantly drenched their backs.

Although they had not directly killed people like those Demonic Path Cultivators.

They had, more or less, all aligned with Prince Yu, supported him, cheered for him.

And even suppressed dissent for him.

Now that Prince Yu had fallen and the new emperor had ascended, it was time for reckoning!

Everyone’s gaze once again focused on Chen Xu.

Chen Xu slowly raised his eyes.

His gaze swept over the large group of kneeling officials below, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

His thin lips parted, uttering two words.

”Kill them.”

These two words carried no emotion whatsoever.

Boom!

Everyone’s minds instantly went blank!

The new emperor, Qin Zhe, who had just sat on the Dragon Throne and whose seat was not yet warm, trembled violently.

He looked at the green-robed figure below.

Looking at his indifferent eyes, the hint of imperial majesty that had just risen in his heart was instantly dispersed by fear.

He understood very clearly.

This Imperial Tutor was not discussing with him.

This was an order!

Qin Zhe took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, and, using all his strength, maintained a steady voice as he respectfully spoke: ”Someone!”

Trembling, he picked up the Shangfang Sword from beside the Dragon Throne, which symbolized imperial prerogative and allowed for execution before reporting.

”Please, Imperial Tutor... oversee the execution!”

A chief eunuch scrambled up the high platform, his hands trembling as he took the sword, then scrambled down to Chen Xu’s front, holding it high above his head, not daring to even look up.

Chen Xu did not take the so-called Shangfang Sword.

To kill, why would one need a sword?

His gaze was the sword!

He walked slowly, one step at a time, forward!

Indeed, his steps were light.

Making no sound whatsoever.

But every step he took made the hearts of the kneeling officials below tremble violently!

”Click, click, click...”

For a moment, on the silent Heaven-Connecting Altar.

A series of chattering teeth could be heard.

Some timid officials already had faces like golden paper, their bodies shaking like sieves.

A pungent, fishy smell wafted from their crotches.

They had actually peed themselves out of fear!

They were afraid!

They were truly afraid!

Previously, they might have harbored a glimmer of hope for this state protecting celestial master who had suddenly appeared.

But now, when Chen Xu’s gaze swept over them.

They truly understood that the one standing before them was not a savior at all.

This was a Supreme being who could effortlessly crush Nascent Soul Cultivators.

And reverse the cosmos with a flip of his hand!

In his eyes, these so-called princes and ministers were no different from the slaughtered Demonic Path Cultivators on the ground!

They were all ants... that could be casually annihilated!

Chen Xu walked to the front of the officials and stopped.

His gaze swept over faces contorted with fear, and his indifferent voice sounded again.

”First rule.”

”All those within three generations who have marital ties with the traitor Qin Kai, be executed!”

The moment the words fell.

In the crowd, an old man in a first-rank Grand Tutor’s court robe with white hair suddenly stiffened!

He was the current Grand Tutor, Li Fu.

And also the grandfather of Prince Yu, Qin Kai’s official consort, his own granddaughter!

”No! Celestial Master, spare me! Imperial Tutor, spare me!”

Li Fu completely broke down, he frantically crawled a few steps forward, kowtowing with tears streaming down his face: ”This old official... this old official was completely unaware of Prince Yu’s wolfish ambitions!”

”The marriage alliance was decided by the late emperor, this old official dared not disobey! I beg the Imperial Tutor to investigate clearly and spare this old official’s life!”

However, Chen Xu did not even look at him.

”Pfft!”

A blue Sword Qi appeared out of thin air, instantly slicing across Li Fu’s neck.

His pleading voice abruptly ceased.

A good head, soaring into the sky!

Hot blood spurted like a fountain, splashing an official from the Ministry of Revenue next to him in the face.

The official only felt his vision turn red, and smelling the strong scent of blood, his eyes rolled back.

He actually fainted from fright on the spot!

In response, Chen Xu’s expression remained unchanged.

As if he had merely crushed an ant.

He continued to announce the second rule in a tone so calm it was suffocating.

”All those who have accepted money from the traitor Qin Kai and spoken a single good word for him in court, be executed!”

Boom!!!

These words once again exploded in the crowd!

If the first rule only purged Prince Yu’s core cronies.

Then the scope of this second rule was too broad!

Prince Yu, Qin Kai, had always enjoyed a good reputation, and in his daily life, he loved to befriend court officials and win people’s hearts.

At least eight out of ten officials present had, more or less, received favors from him.

Or had praised him a few times in public!

”I... I didn’t!”

”Celestial Master, please see clearly, this official has never accepted a single cent from Prince Yu!”

”Right! We were all deceived by him!”

For a moment, cries, explanations, and pleas for mercy erupted into a cacophony.

Everyone wanted to distance themselves from Prince Yu.

However, all of this was futile.

In Chen Xu’s eyes, a faint purple light flashed and disappeared.

【Purple Pupils of Delusion Breaking】!

In his eyes, the entire world transformed into a different scene.

Who was stained with Qin Kai’s Karma.

Who, not long ago, was joyfully waiting for the merits of supporting the new emperor... everything, absolutely everything, was exposed!

Chen Xu slowly raised a finger and pointed to a Vice Minister of War in the crowd.

”You, Wang Yuan.”

”Three months ago, you facilitated Qin Kai’s appointment as Deputy Commander of the City Defense Army, receiving three thousand taels of gold and an ancient painting.”

The Vice Minister of War named Wang Yuan’s face instantly changed drastically.

How did he know?!

Only he and the steward of Prince Yu’s manor knew about this matter, known to heaven and earth!

”You, Zhang Qian, Principal of the Ministry of Personnel.”

Chen Xu’s finger moved again.

”Half a month ago, you praised Qin Kai in court, saying he had the demeanor of Emperor Taizong, and that very night, Prince Yu’s manor sent you a house in the south of the city.”

”And you, Imperial Censor, Liu Cheng...”

Every time Chen Xu pointed out a name, that official would be struck as if by lightning, collapsing to the ground.

Their faces ashen!

They couldn’t understand how this Celestial Master knew about these extremely secretive matters.

Fear spread wildly through the crowd!

”No... don’t kill me!”

”Run! Run quickly!”

Finally, some officials could no longer bear the oppressive feeling before death, and their spirits completely broke.

They screamed and scrambled up from the ground.

Turning to flee this living Hell!

However, they had only run two steps.

”Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”

Dozens of azure Sword Qi rapidly streaked across the sky.

The officials attempting to escape suddenly stiffened.

Then, like wheat stalks being cut down.

They fell in unison.

A small blood-filled hole appeared on each person’s forehead.

Even in death, their faces were frozen with the madness and terror of their escape.

Watching this bloody scene.

All the officials still kneeling.

Not a single thought of resistance remained.

They could only kneel in place like lambs to the slaughter, awaiting Chen Xu’s judgment.

Chen Xu withdrew his gaze from the corpses, his tone still indifferent.

”Third rule.”

”All those who, knowing of the traitor Qin Kai’s unlawful acts, chose to protect themselves and remained silent...”

”...be executed!”

When the last word ”executed” fell.

The entire Heaven-Connecting Altar once again fell into silence.

All the surviving officials raised their heads, their faces filled with despair!

Even... even remaining silent, would lead to death?!

This... this was to wipe them out completely!

This rule was more vicious and unreasonable than the previous two combined!

Under heaven, who didn’t know that Prince Yu harbored ambitions to usurp the throne?

But that was a struggle between princes! It was a private matter of the imperial Family!

As officials, apart from those who were firmly aligned, who dared to speak easily?

Who wasn’t trying to protect themselves, fearing to invite trouble?

But now, even this had become a Talismanic Incantation for their demise!

”No... this isn’t fair!”

An old official roared in grief and indignation: ”We eat the emperor’s salary, we are loyal to the emperor’s affairs! Although Prince Yu had rebellious intentions, the late emperor was still alive, how could we, as officials, presumptuously discuss a prince! What crime have we committed?!”

”What crime have you committed?”

Chen Xu sneered, his gaze falling on the old official.

”You take the Great Feng Dynasty’sSalary, enjoy the sustenance of the common people, and you watched as the Demonic Path infiltrated the court, watched as the traitor plotted to sacrifice the entire city with blood!”

”Yet for your official positions, for your lives and property, you chose to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear.”

”When the butcher’s knife falls, your silence is complicity!”

”When the millions of lives in the capital wail in despair, your self-preservation is the greatest sin!”

”Now, you ask me, what crime have you committed?!”

Chen Xu’s voice grew colder with each sentence.

More chilling with each sentence!

The old official was rendered speechless, his old face instantly flushed red.

Finally, with a ”pfft,” he spat out a mouthful of heart’s blood and died on the spot!

Chen Xu stopped talking nonsense.

He raised his hand.

An invisible Sword Domain, centered on him, suddenly expanded!

He didn’t even need to use his Purple Pupils of Delusion Breaking to distinguish.

Because he knew very well that, under this rule, ninety-nine percent of the officials present deserved to die!

”Ah!”

”Pfft!”

”No—!”

Screams rose and fell!

Streaks of azure Sword Qi weaved through the crowd, bringing with them splashes of hot blood.

There was no fierce resistance, no earth-shattering Divine Ability.

This was a one-sided massacre!

Above the high platform, the new Emperor Qin Zhe watched the scene below, which resembled Hell, his face ashen.

His hands gripped the armrests of the Dragon Throne tightly, his body trembling violently!

Beside him, Qin Wujie also stood silently, clenching his fists.

Although he also felt that the Imperial Tutor’s methods were too cruel.

But thinking of the innocent common people who died tragically, and thinking of his Imperial Father’s regretful eyes before his death.

That trace of reluctance in his heart instantly vanished.

In troubled times, severe laws must be used!

TheseWoodworms that were entrenched in the court, sucking the marrow of the Dynasty.

Should have been cleaned up long ago!

This bloody purge lasted for three full days.

Within three days, the entire capital was enveloped in a chilling atmosphere.

When Chen Xu walked out of the Tongtian Altar.

Behind him was a Jingguan piled with over three thousand heads!

Throughout the Great Feng Dynasty, from the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers to local officials, over one-third of the important court officials were uprooted in this purge!

The court was empty!

All the surviving officials, no matter who they were, when they saw the figure in blue again.

There was no other emotion in their eyes.

Only... fear!

They finally understood that this man, honored as ”Imperial Tutor” by the new Emperor.

Truly spoke with authority.

A Supreme existence that controlled life and death!

Just as the court was empty, and countless people thought that Great Feng Dynasty was about to collapse.

And various forces were preparing to reach out and grab a share.

More than a dozen huge flying boats, covering the sky and sun, majestically sailed into the sky above the capital.

On the flying boats stood Cultivators with steady auras and sharp eyes.

The leader was none other than the Qilin child of the Chen Family, Chen Daoxuan!

”Greetings, Imperial Tutor!”

Chen Daoxuan led dozens of Chen Family disciples and Guest Elders, who had been meticulously cultivated for decades or even centuries, and respectfully bowed to Chen Xu in front of the Imperial Palace.

”Imperial Tutor, three hundred elites of the Chen Family are all here, awaiting your command!”

Chen Xu nodded and casually handed over a list that had already been prepared.

”According to the list, take your positions.”

”Yes!”

Overnight, the administrative center of the Great Feng Dynasty, from top to bottom, was almost entirely replaced with the imprint of the Chen Family.

Ministers of the Six Ministries, Vice Ministers, local Prefects, Generals... all key positions were quickly filled by these well-prepared Chen Family disciples.

With the strong executive power of the Chen Family and the full cooperation of the new Emperor Qin Zhe.

A series of new policies to reduce taxes, build water conservancy projects, encourage agriculture and commerce, and severely punish corruption.

Were swiftly implemented with lightning speed.

The common people, who had been exploited by Prince Yu’s cronies for many years.

Instantly felt earth-shattering changes.

For a time, the new Emperor’s prestige and the Imperial Tutor’s renown were pushed to an unprecedented height among the common people!

A great upheaval that could have led to the collapse of the Dynasty was not only swiftly quelled by Chen Xu’s iron-blooded methods.

But instead, it made this ancient Dynasty.

Radiate with new vitality.

Half a month later.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.

The court was settled, and the world was initially at peace.

Chen Xu knew it was time to seek the greatest benefits for himself and the Chen Family after this grand gamble.

He slowly walked into the Imperial Study.

The new Emperor Qin Zhe and Madam Qin had already been waiting there for a long time.

Qin Zhe immediately rose from the Dragon Throne and quickly came forward to greet him.

His face was filled with gratitude and awe.

Now, nurtured by Dragon Qi and the Medicinal Pills secretly provided by Chen Xu.

He was no longer the sickly invalid he once was.

His complexion was rosy, his aura steady, and in his every move, he already possessed a certain imperial majesty.

”Student, greets Imperial Tutor!”

Qin Zhe performed a standard grand bow to Chen Xu.

”Dispense with the formalities.”

Chen Xu said lightly.

Qin Zhe straightened up, looking at the man who had changed him and the fate of the entire Dynasty.

His eyes were incredibly sincere.

He knew that everything he had was bestowed by the person before him.

He took a deep breath and spoke in an extremely solemn tone:

”Imperial Tutor, within Great Feng Dynasty, there are no more restraints. You may take anything from Great Feng Dynasty.”

”Whether it’s the Imperial Seal or this Supreme position, as long as Imperial Tutor says the word, this student will not object!”

He spoke from the bottom of his heart.

In the past half month, he had personally witnessed Chen Xu’s heaven-defying methods.

He also felt the grandeur of the people’s allegiance after the implementation of the new policies.

He knew very well that he could sit firmly on this throne, not because of some royal Bloodline.

But because of the will of this Imperial Tutor before him.

Hearing Qin Zhe’s words, Chen Xu smiled slightly.

He shook his head.

”The throne? I have no interest in such things, but, Madam Qin, the promise you made to me back then should be fulfilled now, shouldn’t it?”

With that, Chen Xu turned his gaze to Madam Qin, who stood nearby.

As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Qin suddenly stiffened!

The agreement!

She certainly remembered!

Originally, to get Chen Xu to draw Talismans.

She had promised to marry the Imperial Princess, her daughter Qin Rouer, to Chen Xu as a concubine!

However... times had changed.

At that time, although Chen Xu was powerful.

He was, after all, just the Family Head of a Cultivation Family.

But now, he was an unrivaled existence who held immense power in the court, whose words were law.

Even the Emperor had to address him as ”Imperial Tutor”!

If he stamped his foot.

The entire Great Feng Dynasty would tremble!

For Qin Rouer to marry such a figure, it was a great honor for Qin Rouer!

Madam Qin’s thoughts raced, and a smile instantly appeared on her face as she quickly bowed and saluted: ”What is Imperial Tutor saying? To be able to marry Imperial Tutor as his wife is a blessing Qin Rouer has accumulated over several lifetimes!”

”Everything is at Imperial Tutor’s discretion!”

Her heart was filled with countless emotions, in just a few years, the Chen Family, or rather Chen Xu.

Had transformed from a small Cultivation Family that needed to rely on a princely estate.

Into the true Dominator of the entire Great Feng Dynasty.

The changes in the world were truly lamentable.

Chen Xu nodded, not saying anything more.

For him, this was not just a promise.

It was also to settle a piece of Karma... Seven days later, the Imperial Tutor’s grand wedding.

The entire capital was decorated with lanterns and streamers.

It was a hundred times more lively than when the new Emperor ascended the throne.

Countless common people spontaneously took to the streets.

They knew nothing of court intrigues.

They only knew that it was this Imperial Tutor who had saved them from the Hell of blood sacrifice, and it was the new policies promulgated by the Imperial Tutor that gave them, the common people, a way to live.

On the day of the wedding, the new Emperor Qin Zhe personally officiated.

All civil and military officials, and imperial relatives, were present, and the scale of the event far surpassed that of previous emperors.

Imperial Tutor’s Residence!

As Chen Xu’s legal wife, Bu Yifan, along with his other wives and concubines.

Personally dressed the bride, Qin Rouer.

Looking at the shy and beautiful Qin Rouer in the mirror.

Su Xiaoyue’s eyes were full of smiles: ”Sister Rou’er, we are a Family now. My husband only knows how to Cultivate on weekdays, so you’ll have to bear with him more.”

Bu Yifan also gently placed the last Phoenix hairpin into Qin Rouer’s hair and softly said: ”Yes, my husband has come this far, becoming an Imperial Tutor admired by everyone, and we, as wives, feel nothing but pride.”

”The Chen Family’s success today is inseparable from my husband’s efforts, and also from the concerted efforts of all the sisters.”

There was no hint of jealousy in their eyes.

Only adoration for their husband and joy for the prosperity of their Family.

Qin Rouer felt this sincere kindness, her heart touched, her pretty face slightly red, and she whispered: ”Sisters, don’t worry, Rou’er... Rou’er understands everything.”

She secretly glanced at her husband, who was talking with Chen Daoxuan and other core members of the Family not far away.

He stood tall, his expression indifferent.

Yet he possessed an inherent, Supreme majesty that could suppress heaven and earth.

This was her husband.

As soon as she thought of this, Qin Rouer’s heart was filled with happiness and a sense of security... After the grand wedding, the affairs of the capital were completely settled.

Chen Xu completely handed over the political power to the new Emperor Qin Zhe and the Chen Family disciples led by Chen Daoxuan.

He himself entered a state of seclusion.

Deep within the Imperial Palace, in a quiet room specially opened for him.

Chen Xu sat cross-legged, his eyes closed tightly.

Before him, dozens of secret reports personally compiled by Chen Daoxuan floated.

”One month after the implementation of the new policies, grain prices in various regions are stable, and the number of displaced people has decreased by 30%...”

”The Ministry of Works is building water conservancy projects, with the assistance of folk Cultivators, progress is far exceeding expectations...”

”The Ministry of Revenue has investigated corruption, recovered over 30 million taels of silver, and the national treasury is full...”

Each piece of information revealed that this ancient Dynasty, under Chen Xu’s will.

Was radiating unprecedented vitality.

However, there was no joy on Chen Xu’s face.

His mind had long been immersed in another ocean of memories.

Those were the memories belonging to Heavenly Corpse Venerable!

The Blood Sacrifice Array, Prince Yu, Qin Kai... these were all just small fry floating on the surface.

In the deepest part of that memory.

Was a bitter cold land covered by endless wind and snow!

There, a towering Demonic Mountain, built from the skeletons of billions of living beings, pierced the clouds!

At the peak of the Demonic Mountain.

A colossal blood-colored cocoon.

Was emitting a terrifying aura that even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would tremble before!

Undoubtedly, this was also a plan of one of the Four Demonic Path Sects.

”Buzz—!”

Within Chen Xu’s Dantian, that purple Qi-shrouded Grandmist Golden Core.

Suddenly felt a slight tremor!

A will filled with destruction seemed to cross thousands of miles, peeking towards the capital!

This will was hundreds of times stronger than Heavenly Corpse Venerable!

Although it was just a fleeting moment, that homologous yet stronger power.

Was captured by Chen Xu!

Chen Xu suddenly opened his eyes, and two terrifying purple lights flashed in his eyes!

”Finally... can’t hold back anymore?”
