After finishing all of this, Qin Xiao's gaze finally fell upon the group of concubines.
"Kill them all without mercy!"
He had not the slightest bit of pity.
Once, he had indeed taken these women in out of pity.
After all, with their beauty, it was simply impossible for them to survive in this chaotic world.
They would only end up being sold off cheaply like mere cargo.
Qin Xiao had given them a stable home.
Yet, these women had listened to Wang Yuanyuan's words and chosen to betray him.
Therefore, the only thing awaiting them was death!
"No!!!"
"Your Majesty, please don't!"
"We were wrong! Spare us!"
"Sob sob! We were all deceived and bewitched by Wang Yuanyuan, it was not of our own free will! Your Majesty, we did not betray you!"
The concubines wept bitterly, begging desperately for mercy.
However, it was all too late.
From the very moment the greed in their hearts took the upper hand, their fate was sealed.
Squelch!
The long blades of the imperial guards swung down.
A resounding clang echoed.
A storm of blood and gore drenched the entire inner palace.
Thick blood pooled into streams, spreading out and soaking the hard stone floor.
Corpses lay strewn about, the stench of blood piercing the nose and eyes.
Qin Xiao looked down with cold indifference, his eyes as deep as an abyss, without a single ripple of emotion.
He walked toward the outside of the inner palace.
Seeing the maids on both sides.
He casually waved his hand.
"Kill these maids as well!"
He did not state a reason.
Since Wang Yuanyuan had bewitched the concubines, the maids naturally could not escape involvement.
It was only after Qin Xiao and the civil and military officials had exited the inner palace.
That the imperial guards finally closed the vermilion gates of the inner palace.
The heavy doors let out a deep thud.
Shing, shing, shing!
The guards drew their blades one after another.
The maids knelt on the ground, shivering uncontrollably.
They regretted everything.
This was a world where imperial power reigned supreme!
Why did they have to betray Qin Xiao!
Why did they listen to Wang Yuanyuan's nonsense!
If not for Wang Yuanyuan, they would never have ended up like this!
...
After Qin Xiao left the inner palace.
A group of people rescued Chancellor Cai Kun.
As soon as Cai Kun saw Qin Xiao, his tears immediately streamed down, his old face covered in weeping.
"Your Majesty! Your grace to this old minister is as heavy as a mountain! You have given me a second life!"
"If you hadn't saved this old minister, I fear that rebellious daughter would have killed me!"
Cai Kun hugged Qin Xiao's trouser leg, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, now that your inner palace is completely empty, this old minister feels guilty. Right now, I still have over a hundred unmarried daughters. I am willing to offer them to Your Majesty to fill the inner palace, in order to repay your great kindness!"
At first.
When the civil and military officials saw Cai Kun's miserable state and heard his words of loyalty, they were all somewhat moved.
It seemed they had wrongly blamed Chancellor Cai Kun.
But when Cai Kun uttered those last words, they suddenly realized the truth.
So Cai Kun's true goal was to gift his daughters!
Getting over a hundred of his daughters into the inner palace, what a brilliant scheme!
In the future, no matter who became the Empress.
The one to profit the most would be Cai Kun.
Qin Xiao looked at Cai Kun, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
Cai Kun's daughters were all exceptionally beautiful.
But equally, they were also incredibly outrageous!
Qin Xiao waved his hand.
"The Great Qin has yet to unify the world, and I have no desire to take concubines. Let us drop this matter!"
Cai Kun sighed with great regret.
Finally, he said reluctantly:
"If Your Majesty ever wishes to take concubines, please be sure to consider my daughters!"
With that said.
He was carried away on a stretcher by the imperial guards.
Cai Kun was covered in wounds and looked utterly wretched.
Many of his bones were broken.
After watching Cai Kun leave, Qin Xiao finally opened his system.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task!
Task Three: The transmigrator dares to rebel? Let her witness the majesty of the Emperor! Reward: General Upgrade Cards! Ten pieces! (Can upgrade a general by one minor realm)
In the next moment, ten glittering golden General Upgrade Cards appeared in Qin Xiao's hand!
Qin Xiao wanted to test the effect of these General Upgrade Cards.
His gaze turned toward Lu Fengxian in the crowd.
"Lu Fengxian."
"Your Majesty! I am here!"
Lu Fengxian stepped forward, speaking weakly.
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"Lu Fengxian, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Fengxian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, I am fine, it's just..."
He looked at Qin Xiao with a complex expression, hesitating to speak.
Finally, under Qin Xiao's commanding gaze, Lu Fengxian sighed.
"Your Majesty, you are too strong!"
"So strong that it makes even me feel despair."
"Once, I still had hope of catching up to your footsteps, to follow Your Majesty in conquering the world."
"But now, Your Majesty's strength has long surpassed my imagination! It has reached an unprecedented level that no one will ever surpass!"
"Sometimes, I wonder if I might not be able to accompany Your Majesty to the very end..."

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
