"In that case, what use is there in keeping you trash alive?!"
With that said, Qin Xiao raised his hand.
"Embroidered Uniform Guards, hear my command!"
"Understood!"
Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, the four great commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, knelt on one knee.
Qin Xiao coldly swept his gaze over the officials trembling like leaves on the ground, his voice piercingly cold.
"Today, anyone who has sided with Emperor Qinwu shall be killed without mercy! Their families shall be annihilated, their extended clans exterminated, their friends and relatives put to death, and their nine generations exiled to Ningguta!"
The four great commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guards acknowledged the order and stood up.
"By your decree!"
The four commanders stepped right up to the officials, drew their swords, and began to slash.
Behind them, the Embroidered Uniform Guards drew their spring-embroidered blades one after another, launching a merciless massacre!
This was a naked purge in the storm of power!
Since ancient times, for those who dared to rebel, the loser must die!
This was an immutable iron law!
"No! Please, no!"
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
"I am willing to serve you! I am willing to give my all for the Great Qin!"
"Your Majesty, have mercy!"
....
Azure Dragon grabbed the hair of the official who had screamed the loudest just now and swiped his blade across the man's neck. Instantly, bright red blood flowed out.
"Ah!"
The official let out a tragic scream, his body collapsing limply to the ground.
In just a few moments, the ground was covered with corpses!
"Lunatic! Qin Xiao, you are a complete and utter lunatic!"
Emperor Qinwu finally broke down, trembling all over as he roared at Qin Xiao.
With so many officials dying all at once, the entire Great Qin would be paralyzed!
Even though there were parasites among them, killing the few ringleaders would have been enough.
To kill the chicken to warn the monkey—why did he have to slaughter so many officials?
Emperor Qinwu did not understand, and he never would. Qin Xiao only wanted to forge a core team that belonged entirely to him.
Officials who were truly loyal to him!
Below the city walls.
Seeing the miserable state of the civil and military officials on the city wall, the dozen or so lieutenants turned deathly pale.
They understood that they were next!
This purge was far from over!
The leading lieutenant took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed to Qin Xiao.
"Your Majesty, the soldiers in the army are innocent. Could you spare them?"
Qin Xiao said nothing, simply looking down at the dozen men.
For a dozen breaths.
The atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive.
Cold sweat broke out on the leading lieutenant's forehead, and a bitter smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
He seemed to understand.
He turned around, faced the other lieutenants, and took a deep breath.
"Gentlemen, when you do something wrong, you must accept the punishment! A defeat is a defeat!"
With that, he placed his sword against his own neck.
"Good men of Great Qin! Follow this general... and end yourselves to return to the heavens!"
The dozen lieutenants drew their swords and placed them against their necks, their eyes resolute.
The men of Great Qin never feared death.
It was just that this time, they had followed the wrong person.
And so, they had to pay the price with their lives.
Squelch! Squelch!
Blood sprayed through the air as bodies collapsed limply to the ground.
Fresh blood dyed the ground red.
The leading lieutenant took a deep look at Qin Xiao, his eyes holding admiration, relief, and shame.
"May Great Qin last for a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations, and unite the world!"
"May Great Qin last for a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations, and unite the world!"
The roar echoed far and wide.
His body also fell to the ground.
A smile graced his cheeks, his hand gripping the blood-stained sword tightly.
The soldiers felt their eyes sting as they witnessed this scene.
Lu Fengxian sighed heavily.
"A defeat is a defeat. These are the true good men of my Great Qin!"
Qin Xiao felt a bit emotional and ordered,
"Since they are dead, give them a grand burial."
He deeply admired these fearless soldiers in the army.
However, their stances were different.
He could not tolerate traitors.
Since they were already dead, there was no need for further deaths in the army.
Otherwise, given Qin Xiao's personality, rivers of blood would surely flow among the border army!
Now, only Qin Yu remained!
Qin Xiao locked his gaze on Qin Yu below the city wall.
At this moment, Qin Yu's armor was in tatters, he was covered in dirt, and his face was smeared with bruises and mud.
He looked utterly wretched.
Qin Xiao merely waved his hand lightly.
Soon, a squad of cavalry captured Qin Yu and Cai Suwan and brought them up to the city wall.
As soon as they met.
Qin Yu aggrievedly complained to Emperor Qinwu.
"Imperial Father, look at how vicious Qin Xiao is! He almost killed me!"
Saying this, he revealed his wounds for Emperor Qinwu to see.
Covered in bruises and dripping with blood.
"Imperial Father, you must punish Qin Xiao severely!"
He said viciously.
Even now, Qin Yu still thought that Emperor Qinwu could control Qin Xiao.
Emperor Qinwu's face stiffened. He moved his cracked lips but couldn't utter a single word.
Only Empress Dowager Wen rushed forward, hugging Qin Yu and weeping bitterly.
"My dear Yu! You have suffered."
"Don't worry, even if we have to risk our lives, we will absolutely not let you die!"
A flash of joy crossed Qin Yu's face, and he shot a gloomy yet boastful look at Qin Xiao.
It was as if he were saying, Look, our parents still love me.
So what if you won?
You still can't get our parents' favoritism.
Seeing these petty tricks, Qin Xiao wanted to laugh.
He was no longer the person who would sacrifice everything for familial affection.
No bullshit family ties could compare to the thrill of unifying the world.
Right at this moment.
A beautiful figure entered Qin Xiao's line of sight.
"Brother Qin Xiao..."
Cai Suwan looked at Qin Xiao with a tear-stained face, her crying appearance like pear blossoms bathed in rain, evoking pity.
Her pink dress was stained with dust, yet it couldn't hide her petite cuteness.
"I finally get to see you again. I almost thought we would never meet again in this lifetime."
"Brother Qin Xiao, why aren't you speaking? Have you forgotten the kindness of that single steamed bun? Have you forgotten the affection between us?"
Qin Xiao looked at Cai Suwan, her feigned pitiful appearance making him nauseous.
Who was this woman!
Wait!
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and recalled something.
This woman seemed to be the female lead.
A grand female lead.
The grand female lead who relied on men to play both sides, ultimately scheming her way to the Great Qin's empire.
This was Qin Xiao's first time seeing Cai Suwan. He looked her up and down, then shook his head and chuckled.
He only felt that the world of female-oriented romance novels was incredibly absurd!
This was supposed to be a grand female lead?
Other than her looks, what else was praiseworthy?
Seeing Qin Xiao looking at her with a gaze that seemed glued to her body, Cai Suwan's heart suddenly cleared up.
So Qin Xiao hadn't forgotten her after all.
As expected, she was the white moonlight in Qin Xiao's heart.
"Brother Qin Xiao, this time I won't leave. I will stay by your side forever, managing state affairs and ruling the Great Qin empire for you."
Cai Suwan smiled sweetly and threw herself toward Qin Xiao's embrace.
At this, Qin Yu's defenses completely shattered.
"Slut! Didn't you say you loved me the most? Why are you trying to seduce Qin Xiao again!"
for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
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.
