Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

"What about adding me?"

Consort Mei looked up at the top of the Palace of Bliss, where a man with a bare chest, beautifully sculpted muscles, and an arrogant, confident smile on his face was staring at her with a silver spear in his hand, his eyes full of lewdness.

His long hair fluttered in the wind, and his well-defined features were enough to make young girls and young women swoon.

Consort Mei's eyes were cold, and Zheng Qian's face involuntarily appeared in her mind. Compared to him, Zheng Qian was much more handsome, and she couldn't help but say sarcastically.

"I never expected that Hua Chujie, who is known as the number one genius and the gun god of Wuyan Kingdom, would kneel under Lü Jun's tutelage. It's truly pathetic."

Hua Chujie didn't hesitate and grinned, "Consort Mei, my Hua family is merely following the Emperor's will. Kneeling before the Emperor is a Wuyan tradition, what's so sad about it?"

Changing the subject, Hua Chujie exuded a sharp aura, "It's said that Consort Mei is the number one expert in Wuyan Kingdom. I wonder if she dares to have a match with me?"

Consort Mei's eyes turned cold. She moved with incredible speed, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air before disappearing. Her voice, however, echoed throughout the palace.

"You two remember this well: the next time we meet will be the day you die."

The Shadow Master was in the mid-stage of the Spirit Fusion Realm, but he was old and his strength was less than 70%. Consort Mei did not take him seriously because she was also in the mid-stage of the Spirit Fusion Realm.

However, Hua Chujie was different. He was in his prime, also at the mid-stage of the Spirit Fusion Realm, and cultivated the universally acknowledged number one spear technique in Wuyan Kingdom, the "Azure Snow Spear." Even the Consort Mei was not confident of defeating him in a one-on-one fight, let alone when the opponent was two experts of the same realm.

Consort Mei had no choice but to retreat, otherwise, if the two men were to entangle her, she might lose her life.

After Consort Mei left, the Shadow Master said to Hua Chujie on Wuyan Hall, "You have no manners! How dare you stand up there where the Emperor lives? Get down here!"

Hua Chujie obediently jumped down and said with a grin, "Master, I'm just a commoner, please don't take it personally."

The Shadow Master's words revealed a kind heart: "I'm getting old. The Shadow Master's position will be yours sooner or later. Can't you be a little more reliable in your work?"

"No, Master, I still prefer to travel the world and see all the beautiful women." Hua Chujie hurriedly shook his head; he didn't want to be bound by power and have his hobbies restricted.

Helpless, the shadow master asked in a still kind tone, "The infamous womanizer with the deadly gun, who's been making headlines all over the martial arts world, is that you?"

"Hehe." Hua Chujie smiled smugly, "I am indeed your apprentice, Hua Chujie. There aren't many people playing with me, maybe four or five hundred this year."

Stopping in his tracks, the Shadow Master spoke seriously, "I don't care if you want to play around. You can play with ten thousand women, and even if the authorities find out it was you, I will help you clean up the mess. But killing someone's husband and family is wrong. In the future, when you become the Shadow Master, others will use these things to impeach you and damage your reputation."

Hua Chujie's eyes turned cold, and he said calmly, "Master, rest assured, I only killed 137 people. It's their blessing that I slept with their wives and daughters. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be silenced forever by my gun."

At this moment, a palace maid passed by, heard their conversation, and her face turned pale instantly. She hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"This servant did not hear anything, please spare my life, gentlemen."

Whoosh.

Hua Chujie plucked a tree branch and flicked it lightly at the palace maid. The branch pierced through the maid's head, and she fell to the ground dead on the spot. Afterward, the two walked towards the Shadow Guard's lair as if nothing had happened.

In the underground area of ​​Xicheng District, Lü Jin was filled with anxiety. When she saw Consort Mei appear, she hurriedly went forward.

"Mom, are you okay?"

Consort Mei shook her head, her eyes full of affection, "Mother is fine."

Lu Jin was truly at a loss. Those who had pledged allegiance to him had been bribed by the First Prince, and those who hadn't been bribed had all been eliminated. At this moment, he was like a blind man, completely unaware of the situation on the ground, and hurriedly asked...

"Mother, what do we do now?"

Consort Mei looked north and slowly said, "Wait. Our army will soon arrive at Yan City. When we do, we will storm the palace, kill Lü Jun, and you will ascend the throne as emperor."

"Yes, I'll listen to Mother." Hope shone in Lü Jin's eyes, but only he knew what he was really thinking.

The atmosphere inside the Hall of Audience was solemn and dignified.

The eldest prince, Lü Jun, was dressed in mourning clothes, his long, ink-black hair falling loosely, unable to conceal the grief between his brows. He sat upright beneath the dragon throne, a position reserved for listening to government affairs, yet now it seemed to bear an immeasurable weight.

The seat of the Fourth Prince was vacant, symbolizing an unfillable void. The Sixth Prince, Lü Xuan, sat quietly on the other side, his eyes deep and complex, seemingly immersed in some profound thoughts.

Prime Minister Zhao Baicheng, a wise and experienced elder, stepped out of the ranks with firm and powerful strides, as if each step was paving the way for the future of the country.

He bowed deeply to Lü Jun, his voice loud and firm: "Your Highness, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. Wuyan Kingdom is in a precarious situation and urgently needs a wise ruler to lead it. For the peace of the people and the stability of the nation, I hope Your Highness will prioritize the affairs of the country and ascend the throne today!"

As Zhao Baicheng finished speaking, Lü Jun's disciples knelt down one after another. Their voices were unified and surging like waves: "Your Highness, please prioritize the affairs of the state and ascend the throne today!" The voices echoed in the court hall, as if telling the story of a changing era.

However, at this moment, a civil official stepped forward. He was a protégé of the sixth prince, Lü Xuan. Facing the crowd, his voice was equally loud and firm: "This is not appropriate! Although the eldest prince is indeed talented and virtuous, his ascension to the throne at this time may cause turmoil in the court and the country, which would be detrimental to national stability. We should wait for the right opportunity to select the most suitable successor."

As soon as he finished speaking, a wave of discussion swept through the court.

"In the Wuyan Kingdom, the elders have always been respected. If Your Highness does not ascend the throne, who will?"

"Nonsense, of course it's the Sixth Prince, who is both virtuous and talented. Only the Sixth Prince is the most suitable successor to the throne."

However, no matter how much people discussed it, Lü Jun and Lü Xuan remained silent.

They knew perfectly well that this was a momentous decision concerning the future of the nation and their own ascension to the throne; who would ascend the throne depended on this day.

The civil and military officials were arguing endlessly, simply because they were on different sides and supported different figures.

"Report!"

Just then, a guard rushed into the Hall of Audience.

"Reporting to Your Highness, five thousand soldiers emerged from the palace, but Marshal Zhang has annihilated them all."

Lu Xuan's face turned deathly pale. Those five thousand men were troops he had secretly drawn from various places, and they had all been wiped out. A dagger appeared in his hand, his eyes flashing with malice, and he suddenly stabbed at Lu Jun.

Lu Jun remained seated, motionless, as if he hadn't seen Lu Xuan's movements.

bang...

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and Lü Xuan was sent flying out of the court hall, his bones shattered and he died.

The Shadow Master appeared behind Lü Jun at some point, and a cold voice came from within the black robe.

"act recklessly."

This scene sent chills down the spines of the Sixth Prince's disciples, and they fell silent.

The prime minister supports Lü Jun, the Grand Marshal of the State supports Lü Jun, and now even the Shadow Master has come forward to support Lü Jun. He even killed the Sixth Prince Lü Xuan in front of all the civil and military officials, showing that he doesn't take them seriously at all. They have no power to resist.

"Please, Your Highness, ascend the throne!" Prime Minister Zhao Baicheng knelt down and once again requested Lü Jin to ascend the throne.

"Please, Your Highness, ascend the throne!" The civil and military officials reacted and knelt down in unison to invite Lü Jun to ascend the throne, with no one objecting anymore.

Lu Jun's eyes were like a thousand-year-old ice, cold and firm. "A country cannot be without a ruler for a day. I, Your Highness, will live up to the expectations of the people and shoulder the heavy responsibility of governing and strengthening the country. I will now take charge of the government and announce to the world that I will officially ascend the throne in three days."

Having said that, he slowly stood up, each step exuding composure and majesty, as unshakeable as a mountain. Reaching the dragon throne, a symbol of supreme power, he gently sat down, his posture upright, like a drawn sword.

He looked down at the civil and military officials below. Those courtiers who were usually high and mighty and self-important now appeared as docile as lambs under Lü Jun's gaze. He spoke coldly, his voice not loud, but as powerful as thunder.

"Lu Xuan and Lu Jin murdered the emperor and seized the throne; their crimes are heinous and unforgivable!" Lu Jun's voice echoed in the empty hall, each word striking the hearts of everyone like a heavy hammer.

"Lü Xuan has been executed to uphold the law and serve as a warning to others!" he continued, his tone revealing an unwavering resolve.

"As for Lü Jin, he is on the run and intends to evade punishment. I hereby declare a nationwide manhunt for Lü Jin. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. Whoever captures Lü Jin will be ennobled and appointed prime minister, enjoying generations of glory!"

As soon as Lü Jun finished speaking, a murmur arose in the hall. But amidst this murmur, there was more awe and admiration for Lü Jun, as well as loud praise.

Lu Jun coldly glanced at the officials below, and they immediately shut their mouths and lowered their heads.

Lu Jun was satisfied with the officials' reaction and continued, "From now on, I hope that you will all be of one mind with me and work together to create a great and prosperous land. If anyone dares to plot any wrongdoing, I will make them know what the wrath of thunder is!"
