Chapter 381: Demonstration

Ye Jian chose to push back the imperial guards. These guards were just following orders; as long as they were willing to listen obediently, she was not a cruel killer.

However, she would not let go of the mastermind behind the imperial guards.

With a sweep of her divine sense, she quickly discovered the hidden instigator from the memories of the imperial guard commander.

She beckoned, and in the next moment, a figure quickly flew up from outside the city, heading towards the harem.

In less than thirty seconds, an old man fell into Ye Jian’s hands.

“Prime Minister.”

Seeing the old man, Imperial Consort Liu exclaimed in shock.

Soul Searching.

Ye Jian wasted no time and directly chose to perform Soul Searching.

Under her control, the Prime Minister couldn’t move at all and could only allow her to forcefully search his soul.

Soon, Ye Jian found some accomplices in the Prime Minister’s memories.

Swish, swish, swish!

Ye Jian flicked her fingers, and streams of force shot out rapidly.

In a courtyard, a middle-aged official was speaking with his wife when, in the next moment, a hole appeared on his head, and he collapsed in response.

Furthermore, similar incidents occurred in many places.

Those who were allies of the Prime Minister and did not come to the palace were directly eliminated by Ye Jian’s finger flicks.

The civil and military officials waiting at the palace gate, upon learning that the imperial guards had withdrawn from the palace, no longer harbored any illusions of safety and all entered the palace.

Soon, another hour passed.

By this time, outside Yonghe Palace, the ministers had gathered.

However, the doors of Yonghe Palace remained tightly shut, and no one dared to open them.

As they knew that the two-hour time limit was approaching, the palace doors automatically opened.

“Everyone may enter.” Ye Jian’s voice lightly echoed in everyone’s ears.

Upon hearing this voice, everyone entered Yonghe Palace in a rush.

When the court officials and military leaders entered Yonghe Palace, the first thing they saw was a woman who floated like an Immortal.

Despite that, no one dared to act recklessly.

The transmission they received earlier had already intimidated everyone.

Those who could become court officials and generals were not foolish; they would not do anything thoughtless.

“The time has come; let me see who hasn’t arrived yet.”

Ye Jian’s cold voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

“Over fifty people haven’t arrived; it seems they look down on me.”

After finishing her words, Ye Jian looked at everyone, “Since that’s the case, I will show you the consequences of not listening to me.”

After speaking, she waved her hand, and in the next moment, everyone flew into the air, including Imperial Consort Liu.

This sudden situation frightened everyone, causing their faces to turn pale.

“Ah~ ah~”

“Immortal, we are coming, we are coming!”

Some people yelled in fear, while others quickly tried to explain.

“Everyone, be quiet.”

Ye Jian swiftly restrained everyone, preventing them from moving or speaking.

Soon, Ye Jian brought everyone back to a height of a thousand meters.

“Watch carefully.”

After Ye Jian finished speaking, she quickly performed a hand gesture.

In the next moment, red fireballs appeared from thin air and shot down towards the ground like meteors.

Boom, boom, boom!

In the next moment, everyone saw blinding flames and smoke erupting from many places in the Imperial City.

Seeing this scene, everyone turned pale.

The sight was truly shocking.

From a height of a thousand meters, they could clearly see a huge mansion being reduced to rubble by the tremendous explosions from the falling fireballs.

The people inside the mansion were likely dead beyond recovery.

However, even though these mansions were flattened, the nearby houses remained completely unaffected.

Noticing many people turning white with fear, Ye Jian felt that this still wasn’t enough to intimidate them.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Jian decided to take further action to thoroughly shock everyone.

She pulled out an imperial-level attack talisman.

“Do you see the mountain behind the palace? Watch closely.”

After speaking, Ye Jian activated the talisman.

In the next moment, the talisman transformed into a huge sword energy and shot swiftly towards the peak of the mountain.

This mountain had an elevation of over a thousand meters from base to peak.

After Ye Jian activated the talisman, the sword energy struck the mountain peak directly.

In the next moment, everyone witnessed that the mountain had been sliced off at the peak.

The entire mountain began to collapse, quickly filling the sky with dust and debris.

The sword energy continued its path, disappearing like a meteor at the edge of the sky.

Hiss~

At that moment, everyone gasped in shock.

Many faces turned even paler.

Seeing the intimidating effect achieved, Ye Jian quickly brought everyone down to the palace.

“I am the master of the barren prison, and the entire barren prison is my territory. From now on, all empires in the barren prison will be under my control, including the Great Chen Empire,” Ye Jian declared with an authoritative voice, showcasing her divine sense pressure at the Divine Transformation stage.

Hearing Ye Jian’s words, hundreds of civil and military officials and royal family members dared not speak a word.

“From now on, Imperial Consort Liu will be the Empress Dowager of the Great Chen Empire. Considering that the Emperor is still young, she will have the final say on all matters of the Great Chen Empire. Do you understand?”

Upon hearing this, still no one dared to respond.

“Do you understand? Speak!” Ye Jian’s tone grew even colder.

“Understood.”

“Understood!”

Finally, everyone began to respond to Ye Jian.

“Good. The Qian Yuan Empire has already started reforms, so you should also implement reforms. I do not wish to see the common people of the Great Chen Empire without land to farm or to witness rampant banditry…”

In closing, Ye Jian said to Liu, “In some time, I will arrange for people to assist you. You should proceed with your reforms boldly, and if anyone resists or plays both sides, I assure you they will not survive on the Abandoned Prison Star…”

…

Half an hour later, Ye Jian departed from the Great Chen Empire.

One day later, all countries in the barren prison were under Ye Jian’s control.

Regardless of whether the various empires agreed or not, no country dared to defy her orders.

A few days later, Ye Jian sent a dozen people to oversee each nation; they were all her descendants.

The task she assigned them was straightforward: to oversee the imperial cities while practicing cultivation and passing down family lines.

Indeed, Ye Jian set the task of passing down family lines for everyone.

The close-knit family group she knew had many sisters, almost all of whom had numerous descendants, while her own lineage was limited, with only reaching the third generation and lacking even triple-digit numbers.

Thus, Ye Jian’s main focus now, aside from cultivation, was to ensure her descendants quickly multiplied.

After the colorful fragments were taken away, the entire barren prison began its revival of spiritual energy.

It wouldn’t be long before the spiritual energy from outer space filled the whole planet.

At that time, the barren prison would flourish like the other ancestral stars in the cultivation world.

While Ye Jian ruled the entire barren prison,

On an ancestral star in the cultivation world, there was a floating island.

On the floating island, countless pavilions and towers were constructed.

In the center of the floating island stood a massive palace.

At that moment, a figure arrived outside the floating island.

“Young one Shen Rukuan, greeting Senior Wuqi.”
