The civil and military officials of the imperial city all bowed their heads in submission.
During this period of several months, the new emperor of the Crimson Flame Empire was finally born.
Qin Shi glanced at Lin Yu and felt happy in his heart. "How is it? I said that I will make you an emperor, so I will definitely make you an emperor, right?"
"Mhm, many thanks for this time." Lin Yu sighed ruefully. Too many unforeseen events had happened during the election of the new emperor. "Don't be in a hurry to thank me.
"Don't be in such a hurry to thank me. Now that you've become the new king, you are without a doubt the leader of this empire. You should first think about how to manage the empire. Based on my understanding of you, to be honest, you really aren't cut out to be a king. Don't wait until you've ascended to the throne for three and a half years before you get tired of it. If you continue to complain about me, I'll thank the heavens and earth." Qin Shi didn't give Lin Yu any face and poked at his sore spot.
"Ai, don't say anymore. The more you say, the more headache I get." Lin Yu smiled awkwardly. When it came to managing the empire, his forehead was full of black lines.
Just like what Qin Shi said, he and Qin Shi were the same kind of people. They were the kind of people who didn't need to starve. If they were asked to climb a mountain of swords and dive into a pot of oil for their loved ones, perhaps they wouldn't even frown. But when it came to managing an empire, they didn't know anything.
Otherwise, Qin Shi wouldn't be able to control such a huge Qin Sect, but he didn't even know how many disciples the Qin Sect had and how much money it had.
Calculating it, the days that Qin Shi stayed in the Qin Sect did not exceed a total of three months.
"I knew it." Qin Shi shrugged.
"But let me tell you something first. Grandmother Xiaoyue also mentioned this before."
Lin Yu changed the topic and said, "Now that Wu Yu and Mu Xin are dead, Qing Luan Sect and Laoshan Sect are like a group of dragons without a leader. I think that it won't be long before they die. I have the intention of letting your Qin Sect take over these two regions. What do you think?"
"Take over the two regions?"
Qin Shi frowned and said, "In that case, more than half of the empire will be controlled by the Qin Sect."
"Mhm, actually, this is what I mean. Back then, the ancestors divided the empire into four great regions, each region nurturing a hegemon. Originally, it was for the sake of the hegemons of the four regions keeping each other in check, so as to ensure the royal clan's management of the empire. However, when my royal father was in power, the hegemons of the four regions had already started to struggle free from his control. At that time, his authority was extremely limited, and the hegemons of the four regions basically couldn't be used by him. I don't wish to face such a situation again, hence, I want the Qin Organization to become the greatest power in the empire." Lin Yu spoke out his thoughts.
Qin Shi was slightly astonished as he said, "Make the Qin Sect the largest power in the empire?
Haha, you little brat, aren't you afraid that one day, I'll seize your throne on a whim? "
Lin Yu smacked his lips and said, "Alright, you don't have to fight for it. I'll give it to you directly. Now that I think about being trapped in this palm-sized place, I still feel sullen. Why don't I give it to you now?"
"Don't, don't!"
Qin Shi was shocked and quickly shook his head, "It's better for you to keep this hot potato. If you want me to sit on the throne, I'll go crazy!"
"Haha, I knew it. You're the same as me."
Lin Yu said seriously, "Think about what happened before. I'm serious. With our relationship, I trust you. With the Qin Sect holding the fort for me, it'll be much more convenient for me to manage the empire."
Qin Shi pondered for a moment and didn't rush to reply. Instead, he looked at Hua Ling.
Taking over the Southwest and Southwest regions was originally part of his plan. However, this time, the Qin Sect wasn't the only one who paid the price. The Mystical Temple had also contributed greatly. If he were to take over the Southwest and Southwest regions just like that, it would be too inhumane.
"Don't look at me."
Hua Ling felt Qin Shi's gaze. She directly spread her lily-white hands and said, "The Mystical Temple's Hall Master is just someone I snatched on a whim. I'm not interested in the Southwest and Southwest regions. If your Qin Sect wants it, just take it."
"…!"
This sentence directly made Qin Shi and Lin Yu speechless.
It seemed like the most carefree person wasn't Qin Shi or Lin Yu, but Hua Ling who had nothing to do at the side. Look at him, a Hall Master of the Mystic Hall. All he did was snatch her for fun.
"Alright, I won't stand on ceremony then. However, I can assure you that the empire and the Mystical Temple will forever be allies of the Qin Sect. As long as the Qin Sect is still around, the empire and the Mystical Temple will definitely be around," Qin Shi agreed.
Since Qin Shi agreed, Lin Yu was at ease.
Qin Shi wrapped his black robe tightly around himself and looked at the sky with his hands behind his back. Although the sky was currently a little dark and was covered by the lingering dust, his eyes were bright and filled with radiance.
This light was the light that symbolized hope.
"The Qin Sect is finally standing at the peak of the empire."
He still remembered the heroic words he said when he established the Qin Sect.
However, he also knew that this wasn't the end. What he wanted wasn't just the Scarlet Flame Empire. He wanted the entire Wasteland Continent.
Rumble!
Just when everyone was relaxed, the sky in the distance suddenly exploded.
Qin Shi and the others looked up.
They saw the demon chasing the Blood Sorcerer and fighting fiercely at the north side of the imperial city.
The broken space continued to spread, and the Blood Sorcerer's wails could be heard, "Devouring Heaven, don't go too far. You're also heavily injured now. If you push me too far, none of us will have a good ending!"
"Hehe, is that so?
You can try! "The demon was unrestrained and looked at the Blood Sorcerer with contempt.
The boiling Evil Qi was like quicksand that shrouded the forest at the north side of the imperial city.
The lush green turned into rotten wood in the blink of an eye.
The Evil Qi approached the Blood Sorcerer greedily. The Blood Sorcerer's body had already started to fester. The Five Heavens Realm spiritual power was now like a lamp that had run out of oil.
"Damn it, Devouring Heaven, you forced me to do this. Don't you want to devour me? I won't let you devour me even if I die!"
The Blood Sorcerer's life was hanging by a thread. He went completely crazy.
Suddenly, the Hui imprint on his chest flashed, and a ball of energy that was comparable to the Evil Qi shot out.
As soon as this light appeared, the calm eyes of the demon became serious, "This energy, is it Zhe Tian's imprint?"
"Hmph, you still know?
Even if I die, I will make you pay the price! "The Blood Sorcerer spread his arms and laughed ear-piercingly.
Boom!
The symbol on his chest grew brighter and brighter, and soon after, a crack appeared in the void, causing a boundless suction force to appear. This suction force was something that even the Evil Devils could not resist. The previously arrogant and fearless baleful aura was suddenly sucked in by this suction force.
The boundless baleful aura disappeared into the mark. In an instant, it was as if it had disappeared from the world without a trace.
Feeling this strange, Qin Shi frowned, "Is it Zhe Tian's concealing power?"
He knew this power. Back then, Feng Hen had also used this power.
He had even been sealed inside. At that time, it gave him the feeling that he had left the Wasteland Continent and gone to a whole new area.
"I didn't expect that Zhe Tian had left his own life force in the Hui imprint."
The demon was no longer calm. It quickly waved its claws, and the devouring Evil Qi suddenly changed. A similar terrifying suction force was released from the inside.
The two suction forces fought against each other, forming a huge vortex in the sky.
Boom!
The vortex continued to spin, and the stones on the ground were directly crushed into powder.
When Devouring Heaven focused all its energy on the Hui imprint, the Blood Sorcerer's demon eyes suddenly widened, and he laughed wildly, "Devouring Heaven, I don't want to play with you anymore. Let's meet again. The next time we meet will be when our Demon Zhe Tian awakens. At that time, he will definitely tear your body into a thousand pieces. No one in the world can stop him. He wants to cover the entire continent and create a new territory that belongs to us!"
After saying this, the Blood Sorcerer's demon body shrunk, and his skin gradually withered and cracked. The spiritual power in his body suddenly became violent, and suddenly concentrated on the Hui imprint in the center.
"What is he trying to do?" Qin Shi was puzzled.
The demon frowned, and its demon eyes suddenly fell behind the Blood Sorcerer. It saw that there was an extremely hidden crack in the space, and it said coldly, "Hmph, what is he trying to do? He wants to self-destruct, and then let his soul escape through the crack in the space. But, there is no way!"
After saying this, the demon clenched its demon claws in the void, and the raging power actually shattered the space, and a ferocious Evil Qi indifferently poured in.
When the Evil Qi retreated, there was a translucent black soul entangled in it. Wasn't this the soul of the Blood Sorcerer?
With his soul captured, the Blood Sorcerer could no longer stay calm, and he suddenly screamed crazily, "No, no, no, Devouring Heaven, you can't kill me!
You can't kill me! "
"If I don't kill you, do you think I will let you live?"
The demon's demon clenched its demon claws, and the Evil Qi began to gather, giving people the feeling that it could crush the Blood Sorcerer's soul at any moment.
Qin Shi's eyes turned, and suddenly stopped the demon, and said, "Don't kill him."
"Hmm?"
"He's a member of the Bi Group, he might be of some use if we keep him alive," Qin Shi explained.
The demon was stunned, and said, "What's the use of keeping him?
Even if I don't kill him, as a soul, if he can't find a body to take over, he won't be able to live for long. "
"Then you don't need to lock him up, I have a way to let him live."
Qin Shi had already planned this, and he smiled as he took out the Explosive Flame Pearl, and smiled at the Blood Sorcerer, "This Explosive Flame Pearl just happened to be empty, so you can stay here."
After saying this, the barrier of the Explosive Flame Pearl was directly opened by Qin Shi, and the Blood Sorcerer's soul was sucked in.
Looking at Qin Shi's actions, the demon frowned in surprise, "Hehe, Earth Core Flame, with this thing, it can indeed prevent the soul from dispersing."
"Hmm, lock him up for a hundred days first, and after he's settled down, I will ask him about the Dark Group." Qin Shi did not hide anything from the demon.
Boom!
At this moment, the Blood Sorcerer's body was completely swallowed by the Dark Group's imprint, and in the blink of an eye, a terrifying black hole was formed.
Once this black hole appeared, the entire Imperial City was plunged into darkness.
"What's going on?" Countless people were shocked.
The demon's eyes narrowed, "Damn it, this bastard, he actually ignited his spiritual energy just now, this black hole is about to explode!"
"What?"
Qin Shi was shocked, and he stared at the black hole in the distance. The power in this black hole was so terrifying that he had never felt it before, and he hurriedly said, "Can't you stop it?"
After a moment of silence, the demon shook its head, "If I had half of my full strength, stopping this black hole would be a piece of cake, but I have yet to recover from my injuries, and there's still some power in this black hole. It won't be difficult for me to save the people here, but it won't be possible to stop this black hole."
Hearing the demon's words, the people at the side all panicked. If even the demon couldn't stop it, then wouldn't they all die?
The Lin Concubine clenched her jade-like hands and gritted her teeth, "I have a way, but it seems impossible now."
"What way?"
