Chapter 169 - Mo Yuanqing’s Choice
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Now that the demon race had disappeared without a trace, the so-called operation to eliminate the demons and defend the path had to be stopped.
The other abilities of the demon race were average, but their ability to hide was really not weak. Even Su Xing would find it difficult to find their whereabouts in a short period of time.
Therefore, Su Xing and the others decided to return to the sect.
And they came to the great Feng dynasty precisely because they planned to pick up Mo Yuqing and return to the sect together.
“Since this matter has been settled, we are also preparing to return to the sect.”
“Junior Sister Mo Yuqing, are you really not planning to return to the sect with us?”
After learning of Mo Yuqing’s decision, a trace of surprise flashed through everyone’s eyes.
Actually, Mo Yuqing had chosen to stay in the great Feng because she had no other choice.
The original Mo Wudao had colluded with the demon race and had always adopted a conniving attitude towards the demon race’s crazy actions. As a result, other than the imperial capital, most of the regions in the great Feng Empire were more or less destroyed by the demon race.
As for the generals of the various military camps who were heavily armed, they were forced to bend their backs by Mo Wudao’s order. They could only watch as the tragedy unfolded before their eyes.
It was hard to imagine!
In less than three months, the great Feng Empire had completely turned into a slaughterhouse.
Now, after Mo Yuqing ascended to the throne as the empress, the previously passive situation had slowly started to improve.
However, Mo Yuanqing also knew in her heart that now was not the time for her to leave. Although compared to the empress, who was above everyone else, she wanted to be a sword cultivator on the sunset peak and pursue the supreme way of the sword.
After a moment of silence, Mo Yuanqing raised her head and looked out of the courtyard.
It was as if through the tall red bricks and green tiles, she could see the countless homeless, hungry and cold people outside the high walls.
A great hero would serve the country and the people.
When she thought of what Su Xing had said before, her gaze suddenly became firm.
“Senior brother, recently, Da Feng has just regained his peace. There are still many matters waiting for me to settle in the imperial court. Junior sister can return to the sect after some time.”
When she heard this, a look of understanding appeared in Su Xing’s eyes.
Indeed, they could leave at any time, but there were still da Feng’s people behind Mo Yuanqing.
The demon race had temporarily stopped, but the fear that remained in the hearts of the people was not something that could be dispelled in a short period of time. The bad effects that had been caused were not something that could be recovered in a short period of time.
On the way to the imperial city, they had also seen the current difficult situation of the people of Dafeng. They were not clothed, and they did not have enough food to eat..
At this time where everything was flourishing, it was indeed inappropriate for Mo Yuanqing, who was the empress of Dafeng, to leave.
Su Xing smiled and said with a relieved tone.
“Junior sister has a heavy burden now. How about this? I’ll go back and tell the beautiful master about junior sister’s situation. You can come back when you’re Done!”
“Yes, senior sister! Ling ‘ER will help clean your room every day. Hehe!”
Su Yan ‘er also smiled and nodded. She handed a voice transmission talisman to Mo Yuqing so that they could contact him at any time if there were any problems.
After that, everyone tacitly brought up the matter of persuading Mo Yuqing to leave.
After chatting for a while about the situation of the demon race, everyone also learned from Mo Yuqing that the current situation of Da Feng was not optimistic.
However, when it came to the politics of the imperial court, everyone had no other choice.
They couldn’t use the same method as cultivators to solve it, right!
Su Xing thought for a moment and took out four brocade pouches from his storage ring as if he was already prepared. Then, he passed them to Mo Yuqing and told him to wait for them to leave before opening them.
When Shen yaoling asked curiously, he only said a few words, “The secrets of heaven must not be revealed.”.
This made Shen yaoling grumble in dissatisfaction. She kept saying that senior brother Su Xing was biased. When Su Xing took out a scarlet bead and handed it to her, she excitedly ran to the side to play with it.
“Senior brother, who are those two?”
Following Mo Yuanqing’s gaze, two pale-faced Daoists tied to the side were currently lowering their heads in silence. Their faces were as pale as paper.
“Oh! This is a traitor of the selfless sect who colluded with the demons in an attempt to frame our Blackheaven Sword sect. One of the reasons why we can’t stay here for long is precisely to escort them back to the sect for punishment.”
Shen yaoling put the bead that Su Xing had given her into her storage ring and walked over with a smile.
“Senior sister, this is Daoist zuo. Not only is he extremely evil, he is also very strong!”
“But he was still defeated by second senior sister. How is it? is second senior sister strong?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Yuanqing was slightly stunned.
If her senses were not wrong, the cultivation of these two Daoists were not low. One of them was actually defeated by Su Yan ‘er.
Could it be that senior sister’s strength had increased again after this trip to eliminate demons and defend the Dao?
However, before Mo Yuanqing could ask in detail what had happened,.
A lady-in-waiting trotted in from outside the courtyard.
The maid came before the crowd and bowed slightly.
“Your Majesty, it is time to attend the court. All the civil and military officials are here, just waiting for you.”
“Yes, I see. You may leave now.”
Speaking of this, Mo Yuan Qing face revealed a trace of color.
Ever since she became queen, she had to attend court every day. It used to be very interesting when she was a child, but when she sat on the throne, she finally understood the difficulty of managing a dynasty.
She hoped that these days would end soon!
Seeing that Mo Yuanqing had something to do, Su Xing and the other two slowly stood up.
“Junior sister, you go first. We have to hurry!”
“Yes, yes! See you at the sect!”
They waved goodbye.
Su Xing and the others flew into the air.
..
In the heart-nourishing great hall.
Mo Yuanqing was wearing a dark golden phoenix robe with a fine iron sword at his waist. He stood in the Great Hall expressionlessly, his indifferent expression showing his anger.
“Your subjects pay their respects to Her Majesty the Empress!”
“There’s no need for formalities!”
After the formalities, the civil and military officials stood respectfully in front of the hall.
Wang Qianji stepped forward and bowed.
“Your Majesty!”
“The remaining six cities and the surrounding villages and towns have been purged of the demon race. The Demon Army has suffered heavy losses in our Dafeng territory, but… the whereabouts of the remaining demons are unknown.”
Although already knew the result, but hears the words of Wang Qianqi, everybody still can not help but have some excitement.
“Your Majesty’s blessing, the demon will be destroyed, magnificent I am greatly honored!”
“Your Majesty’s blessing, the demon will be destroyed, magnificent I am greatly honored!”
“Your Majesty’s blessing, the demon will be destroyed, magnificent I am greatly honored!”
The Generals and ministers who went up to the temple together said in unison.
During this period, Su Xing and the others almost swept away the demon army that was wreaking havoc around them, while the black armored army behind them was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. This also made several veteran generals who had been on the battlefield almost cry.
However, the result was always good. Now, their Dafeng had returned!
Now that the demon race had retreated, Dafeng was temporarily able to settle down. Next, it was time to deal with the issue of settling the people.
Mo Yuanqing said indifferently, “Mm, in view of the current situation, I already have an idea.”
“Her Majesty the Empress?”
The civil and military officials below looked at each other in dismay. Although they did not know what arrangements Mo Yuanqing had, everyone still waited patiently for her to continue.
They thought that if the empress did not make too big a mistake, they would have to carry out the plan with gritted teeth. They must not hurt Her Majesty’s confidence.
There was a first time for everything. It was already very rare for Mo Yuanqing to be able to do this in such a short time.
