Qin Xiao remained expressionless, swinging the back of his hand for another punch!
Bang!
The left side of her face swelled up as well!
Broken teeth sprayed out from her mouth!
No matter how tough the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou was, she could not help but scream in agony at this moment.
"Are you begging for mercy?"
Qin Xiao raised his fist, smiling exceptionally radiantly!
Then, another punch!
Bang!
The right side of the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou's cheek swelled up too!
More teeth flew out of her mouth!
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou could no longer speak.
She collapsed on the ground miserably, violently convulsing.
All the teeth in her mouth had been knocked out.
Her pretty face was swollen like a steamed bun, blood streaming down her face, and her hair was a mess.
There was no longer the slightest trace of an Empress's majesty to be seen.
"Qin... Emperor Qin, I was wrong... I was wrong..."
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou finally begged for mercy.
There was no more anger and hatred in her eyes, only endless fear!
If the beating continued like this, she would be beaten to death!
"I am willing to cede territory and pay reparations, I am willing to bow down and submit to your Great Qin, please let me go!"
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou cried and pleaded.
At this moment, she was as lowly as an ant.
She no longer had her previous high and mighty posture!
Qin Xiao lowered his fist.
He looked down at the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou from above.
"Now you know how to beg for mercy?"
"I still prefer your previous rebellious look!"
The corners of Qin Xiao's mouth lifted slightly as he raised his foot and stepped on her chest.
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou spat out a large mouthful of blood!
But she did not dare to resist in the slightest!
"I won't dare... I won't dare ever again..."
"Emperor Qin is magnanimous, please let me go..."
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou begged for mercy, tears flowing uncontrollably.
At this moment, she finally recognized reality!
Qin Xiao was the one who truly controlled her life!
If she dared to resist again, she would probably really be chopped into minced meat in a moment!
Qin Xiao smiled faintly and raised his hand.
"Chen'er, come here."
Hearing this, the Prince of Yan, Li Chen, strode over to Qin Xiao.
"Adoptive Father, what are your orders?"
He spoke.
But his eyes remained fixed on the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou.
That hateful gaze seemed as if it wanted to swallow her alive!
But without Qin Xiao's order, he did not dare to make a move.
Qin Xiao pointed at the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou and said to Li Chen, "This woman is yours to deal with."
Joy sparked in Li Chen's eyes.
"Adoptive Father!"
He immediately knelt excitedly on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Qin Xiao.
"Thank you, Adoptive Father!"
With Qin Xiao's words, he could finally avenge the Li Tang royal family!
He could personally kill this enemy who had tortured him for ten years!
Seeing Li Chen's gaze full of hatred, the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou's pupils shrank sharply.
She could no longer care about her dignity and hurriedly pleaded with Qin Xiao.
"Emperor Qin, I was wrong... I sincerely beg for mercy... Spare my life..."
She didn't want to die.
She had finally become the Empress, possessing supreme power and status.
She didn't want to just die here!
Qin Xiao didn't even look at her.
He casually threw his horsewhip to Li Chen and turned to leave.
Leaving Li Chen to confront the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou.
He no longer had to worry about anything.
He could finally take his revenge personally!
Li Chen took the horsewhip, staring at the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou with an incredibly ferocious gaze.
"Do you still remember my eldest brother?"
"Do you still remember the countless wronged souls of my Li Tang?"
"They were all killed by you!"
"You scourge! Go to hell!"
He raised the horsewhip and lashed it down ruthlessly!
Smack! Smack! Smack! Smack!
He didn't hold back at all!
Every lash used all of his strength!
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou screamed and wailed, her body curling up from the whipping!
Soon, she turned into a bloody mess!
Li Chen whipped her a full hundred times.
Panting heavily, his palms bleeding.
Only then did he stop.
He looked at the dying Female Emperor of Wu Zhou, who was barely breathing, and the resentment in his heart was finally vented!
"Father! Eldest Brother! Everyone who was killed by this woman, I have avenged you!"
"May you rest in peace!"
Tears rolled down Li Chen's eyes.
He fell to his knees with a thud.
He kowtowed heavily to the fallen heroes of Li Tang!
He kowtowed again and again!
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou lay in a pool of blood, exhaling more than she inhaled; she was not going to survive.
After Li Chen finished kowtowing, he stood up.
Facing the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou, there was no more hatred in his eyes, only a pool of calmness.
"I won't kill you."
"I will just let you suffer endless torture and die in agony."
"Men! Drag this bitch down! Execute her by death of a thousand cuts!"
"I want her to suffer endless torture, begging for life and unable to die! Let her atone for the wronged souls of my Li Tang!"
With his command, soldiers immediately came forward.
They dragged away the dying Female Emperor of Wu Zhou!
Blood trailed all over the ground!
"No... don't, Chen'er, I was wrong, kill me... please kill me..."
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou pleaded weakly, but no one paid her any attention.
Tears welled up, but they were covered by the blood on her face.
She knew that what awaited her would be a fate worse than death!
Soon.
The Female Emperor of Wu Zhou was dragged to an open clearing by the soldiers and subjected to the ultimate punishment!
Li Chen just gave a faint glance before turning to leave.
He came before the civil and military officials of Wu Zhou.
"I give you two choices!"
"Either be executed by death of a thousand cuts like the Female Emperor of Wu Zhou! Or... surrender!"
He swept his cold gaze over them.
No one dared to meet his eyes!
These civil and military officials had long been scared out of their wits by Qin Xiao!
How could they dare to resist?
They immediately all knelt and surrendered!
"We are willing to submit to the Prince of Yan!"
Li Chen's eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing in them.
"I will say it one more time! The person you must submit to is my Adoptive Father! Not me!"
With that, he took the lead and knelt towards Qin Xiao.
"Adoptive Father, the officials of Wu Zhou have all surrendered! Awaiting Adoptive Father's judgment!"
Qin Xiao nodded slightly.
He was very satisfied with Li Chen's attitude.
He walked up to the civil and military officials of Wu Zhou.
"Submit to me, and all your past crimes will be pardoned!"
"Those who refuse to obey, die!"
His tone left no room for doubt.
The group of officials bowed down to the ground, not daring to show the slightest resistance!
Everything was settled.
Next, Qin Xiao began to take over the entirety of Wu Zhou!
And conveniently drive away the cavalry of the steppes.
If they could kill Temujin, that would be even better.
"Hear my command, entire army! Follow me into the Imperial City of Wu Zhou!"
With a long howl, Qin Xiao waved his large hand.
He led the five hundred thousand strong army to march out majestically!
"Your Majesty, why the rush? Why don't we rest for a few days?"
Jia Xu came closer and asked.
Now their Great Qin was already in sight of victory.
Taking down Wu Zhou would be as easy as flipping a hand.
Qin Xiao's gaze was profound, with a hint of coldness flashing within.
"Time waits for no one, and besides, we might encounter even more powerful enemies next!"
He didn't know whether the people walking out from the Abyss Forbidden Land were friends or foes.
But he could clearly feel that this group of people definitely harbored ill intentions!
Qin Xiao had to be prepared!
Take down Wu Zhou and let Great Qin's strength advance even further!
Right at this moment.
The system's voice rang out accordingly.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the Emperor's Choice Mission!
Choice 1: Annex Wu Zhou, unify the world! Reward: Martial Immortal Cultivation!
Choice 2: Exhaust all resources to build up military power! Frantically conscript soldiers, expanding the army to at least three million! Reward: Golden Army Conversion Card! (Can randomly convert an army, adding a special troop type buff!)
[Option 3: Declare war on the world! Display the divine might of Great Qin! Anyone who dares to offend Great Qin, no matter who they are or how far away, will be executed! Reward: One million tons of forage! One million tons of fruits, vegetables, and grain!]
Qin Xiao's eyes went wide when he saw these three rewards.
Wait, what was going on?
Since when did the system become so generous?
These three rewards were all incredible things!
"Martial Immortal? Could this be the realm above the Martial God Realm?"
When Qin Xiao uttered the words "Martial Immortal," he felt the true qi within his body boiling madly.
It was as if he had a deep, heartfelt yearning for these two words!
The blood throughout Qin Xiao's body surged uncontrollably, and his heart pounded fiercely.
An unprecedented sense of desire and anticipation swept over him!
Pacifying Wu Zhou could actually let him ascend directly to Martial Immortal?
What excited him even more were the latter two rewards.
Militaristic expansion, insane conscription!
This was enough to make Great Qin's strength skyrocket!
Especially the final reward, the Golden Troop Card. Qin Xiao felt that this was absolutely extraordinary!
As long as he completed the task, cultivation, military strength, and provisions would all be his!
What was he still hesitating for?
Did he still need to worry about the nations of the world?
Did he still need to care about some mysterious powerhouse walking out from the forbidden abyss?
As long as he had the strength, wouldn't he just crush them all!
"System, I choose..."
Qin Xiao took a deep breath.
"I want all of these rewards!"
His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he immediately accepted all the tasks!
Qin Xiao looked at Jia Xu and said in a deep voice.
"Jia Xu, pass down my decree. Conscript soldiers in Great Qin until we reach three million! There must be no mistakes!"
Jia Xu froze for a moment.
The Great Qin officials behind him looked at each other in dismay.
A three-million-strong army?
With Great Qin's current national strength, they simply couldn't afford it!
"Your Majesty... this..."
Just as Jia Xu was about to say something.
Qin Xiao waved his hand, his eyes resolute.
"You all do not need to worry about the provisions. I have my own methods!"
"Act according to my decree!"
"Remember, be quick! Conscript soldiers at the fastest possible speed! Mobilize the power of the entire nation for this conscription!"
Although Jia Xu still had doubts in his heart, he cupped his hands and accepted the order.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
He did not ask why Qin Xiao was doing this.
Because he could tell that Qin Xiao was full of confidence.
It seemed he was already fully prepared!
Jia Xu led his men and galloped away in the direction of Great Qin.
Following that, Qin Xiao called for Lu Fengxian.
"Fengxian, you will represent our Great Qin and deliver a message to the powerful nations! If anyone dares to invade our Great Qin, we will launch a national war and kill without mercy!"
His voice was decisive and ruthless, carrying a chilling tone.
Qin Xiao wanted to instill fear in these nations, intimidating them so they wouldn't dare to invade.
In this way, Great Qin could freely conscript soldiers and expand its forces!
Lu Fengxian similarly accepted the order and left.
No one dared to question Qin Xiao anymore.
They knew that since Qin Xiao arranged things this way, he had a great degree of certainty he could achieve it.
Now, two of Qin Xiao's tasks were about to be completed.
The only thing left was to drive away the grassland people and clean up the mess in Wu Zhou!

Your humble author begs for the support of you all, my generous patrons!
Wishing you all good health and that everything goes your way!
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
