Chapter 1: A Monarch of a Thousand Ages, A Tyrant for All Ages! (Bonus Chapter for Reviews)

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Thump..."

Xu Fengnian had barely finished speaking.

The heads of the guards outside the palace gates fell to the ground.

He knew it was the young eunuch who had made the move.

After all, only the dead can keep secrets.

"Tell me why you're here."

A calm voice rang out from inside the main hall.

His tone was extremely flat.

It lacked any so-called domineering aura, and had no majesty whatsoever.

The immense terror of being on the brink of life and death dissipated.

It was a kind of detached and ethereal quality that came from the soul.

A giant dragon looks down upon ants.

Seeing that the young eunuch did not appear, Xu Fengnian was not surprised. He simply smiled and said, "I've come to make a deal with you."

"speak."

The voice came again.

It didn't say anything like whether you're good enough or not.

Xu Fengnian is sitting on the dragon throne and is still unharmed. Whether he is worthy or not is self-evident.

He didn't even ask Xu Fengnian how he knew about his existence, because he already knew, so what was the point of asking?

"The greatest threat to Liyang today is Xu Xiao of Beiliang. He controls six provinces, and his ambitions are as cunning as an eagle and as ruthless as a wolf."

"How can one allow others to sleep soundly beside one's bed?"

"Your Excellency is bound to the fate of the nation and would certainly not wish to see the world change. I, the Crown Prince, will grant your wish and hereby promise that the Xu family of Beiliang will never turn against Liyang, in exchange for your goodwill."

This statement came out.

A cold snort echoed through the air: "If I wanted to kill you and Xu Xiao, it would be as easy as turning my hand. Once you and your son are dead, Beiliang will no longer belong to the Xu family, so what is there to say about rebellion?"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Xu Fengnian's hearty laughter echoed throughout the palace.

A cold smile crept onto his lips: "Kill Xu Xiao? Do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

"Firstly, Xu Xiao commands hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry, who are the faith of the Northern Liang army. With Xu Xiao around, the Northern Barbarians have no courage to fight him to the death."

"On the contrary, if Xu Xiao dies, the world will surely descend into chaos!"

"Secondly, Xu Xiao and Zhang Julu are born together and die together. Because apart from Zhang Julu, no one in the court dares to challenge Xu Xiao. If Xu Xiao is eliminated, how can Zhang Julu, who is greatly feared by the emperor, survive? If the deer is lost in Liyang, the world will surely be in chaos."

"Thirdly, as long as Xu Xiao is alive, the remaining forces of Western Chu will not dare to rebel. Similarly, King Zhao Bing of Yan will not dare to rebel either, because with Xu Xiao keeping them in check, the Butcher of Men hasn't rebelled yet, so how could they be allowed to rebel?"

"Conversely, the world will also be in chaos!"

"Fourth, Xu Xiao destroyed six states, and among the nine states of the Spring and Autumn period, many remnants of the Spring and Autumn period have infiltrated the court. The royal family cannot completely control Beiliang. As long as Xu Xiao is alive, the world will be suppressed by him and dare not move. If he dies, the crisis hidden within Liyang will all erupt!"

"Sir, I don't need to elaborate on how important it is for Xu Xiao to be alive, do I?"

"Unless absolutely necessary, we have no choice but to cut off an arm to survive. When cornered, would you dare to lay a finger on Xu Xiao?"

After saying this.

Xu Fengnian received no reply for a long time.

The young eunuch fell silent.

That's right,

The young eunuch would not kill Xu Xiao unless absolutely necessary.

But Xu Fengnian's purpose in this trip was to completely eliminate that possibility of being "absolutely unavoidable"!

After all, Xu Xiao already controlled six states, and his power was too great.

Xu Fengnian's deal was simple.

Xu Jiayong will not rebel.

And the young eunuch must never harm the Xu family.

half an hour.

That leisurely voice came again.

"Why should I trust you?"

One sentence came out.

Xu Fengnian's aura suddenly changed.

His star-like eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

"Why?"

"I, the young master, have the audacity to sit on this dragon throne!"

"I, the young master, look down upon the mere Li Yang!"

"My ambition is to conquer all nations under heaven!"

"The person speaking to you now is the future emperor of all time, a hegemon for all ages!"

what?

In the shadows, the young eunuch was suddenly startled!

From the moment Xu Fengnian stepped into Liyang Palace and then ignored the chilling killing intent as he sat on the dragon throne, he knew that this young man was extraordinary.

When Xu Fengnian called out his existence and listed many reasons why Xu Xiao should not be killed, he knew that the so-called ignorance and the so-called playboy were all an act.

But none of those things could move the young eunuch.

What does it matter if one assesses the situation and conceals one's strength?

Those qualities are valuable and rare, yet not uncommon.

However, Xu Fengnian's "Four Reliance" greatly shocked the young eunuch, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time!

He absorbed the dragon energy of the Zhao family, achieving immortality in the mortal realm. Now, he is over two hundred years old and has witnessed the changes of the Li Yang region over the past two hundred years, yet there is nothing worth his lingering attachment to.

For the young eunuch, as long as Li Yang still bears the surname Zhao, everything is fine.

For the sake of immortality.

Even someone as carefree as him, who could roam the world and chat with Gu Changsheng, dared not aspire to be the best in the world in martial arts!

After all, there are too many talented people among all living beings, springing up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

They dared not even think about conquering all nations.

I've never even dreamt of such an arrogant dream!

But the young man before me, bearing the reputation of a spoiled brat and possessing no extraordinary achievements, dares to boast that he will trample the world and conquer all nations.

What an awe-inspiring spirit!

Arrogant?

Very arrogant.

Is it ridiculous?

ridiculous.

But at this moment, the young eunuch could not smile.

Having witnessed two hundred years of human vicissitudes and met countless people.

He could tell that Xu Fengnian's words just now came from his sincere heart, without any falsehood or bluff!

Especially his unparalleled self-confidence, as if the world should rightfully belong to him.

It was as if he was born to be the ruler of all nations.

A promise made by the ruler of all nations is of paramount importance.

How could someone whose goal is the stars and the sea not set their sights on a small corner of the world?

My mind was in a trance.
