Chapter 36 I've always been a very reasonable person.
Inside the inn, Lin Hanzhou listened quietly to the bugle calls outside the window, the sounds of an army gathering.
He remained calm, observing the faint commotion coming from the direction of the palace in the distance.
He already knew about the events that had occurred in the palace that day through his senses.
The late emperor passed away, and the throne was passed to the sixteen-year-old Ninth Princess.
The princes were dissatisfied and besieged the capital, intending to depose the new emperor by force.
"She's quite a courageous girl."
Lin Hanzhou recalled the figure in Black Wind Gorge who dared to confront a grandmaster and was willing to exchange his own life for the survival of his followers.
A hint of admiration flashed through his mind.
He didn't want to get involved in this mess.
What does it matter to him who sits on the throne of the Great Qian Dynasty?
The rise and fall of this dynasty was nothing more than a fleeting dream to him.
But when he learned that the sixteen-year-old girl was trying to save the collapsing empire.
His heart, which had long been calm and indifferent, was still touched.
He recalled the prosperous era he had created single-handedly in the Sui Dynasty.
He knew what a good monarch meant to a country and to hundreds of millions of people.
Perhaps, this girl named Li Yuechan really could become a good monarch.
"Fine, I'll lend you a hand."
Lin Hanzhou said to himself.
With his current cultivation level at the third stage of the Qi Sea Realm, killing ordinary Grandmasters of the same realm is as easy as killing a dog.
Helping the other party secure their throne would not be difficult for him.
Of course, helping someone is never free.
Lin Hanzhou wasn't that kind-hearted.
What he had his eye on was the imperial library of the Great Qian Dynasty, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, and the vast amount of rare and precious materials in its treasure trove.
This is the fundamental reason why he was willing to take action.
Having made up his mind, Lin Hanzhou's figure vanished from the room in an instant.
……
Outside the palace, in front of Chengtian Gate.
Thousands of private soldiers and experts from different princes' residences have assembled and surrounded the palace gates.
Above the palace gate, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards held a long spear, his face extremely solemn.
He knew that today would be a bloody battle.
If a battle breaks out inside the palace, everyone present will likely swarm in.
Inside the palace, at the crucial moment when the eldest prince was about to give the order to attack.
A young man dressed in black appeared without warning between the two opposing sides.
This person was none other than Lin Hanzhou, who had just been at the inn.
Both sides were clearly taken aback when they saw Lin Hanzhou suddenly appear, and then immediately became alert.
Regardless of how the other party appeared here, the fact that they were able to sneak in so quietly means they must be a master.
Li Yuechan, sitting on the dragon throne, saw Lin Hanzhou's familiar figure and her pupils shrank.
She never imagined that the person she had been longing for would actually come.
"A bunch of useless people who only know how to fight for power and profit when the country is in crisis."
Lin Hanzhou's cold and indifferent voice clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Without hesitation, he drew his sword and attacked.
A dazzling sword light, as graceful as flowing clouds yet incredibly fast, flashed past him in an instant.
The next moment, several experts from the prince's side, whether they were second-tier martial artists or third-tier grandmasters, appeared.
Their bodies stiffened abruptly, their faces filled with disbelief.
Immediately, one after another, magnificent heads shot into the sky.
Blood gushed forth like a fountain, instantly staining the entire court red.
Lin Hanzhou only used one sword strike!
Seven grandmasters and more than a dozen martial arts masters were all beheaded and died on the spot.
"hiss--!"
The entire scene instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was completely stunned by this miraculous sword strike.
The princes watched as their most powerful retainers were instantly slaughtered, like clay chickens and earthen dogs.
They were so terrified that they collapsed to the ground, their legs trembling like leaves.
That's...that's terrifying!
What kind of monster is this?
On the Imperial Guard's side, Wang Jian, the Grand Commander of the Imperial Guard, was also filled with shock.
He never imagined that this suddenly appearing young man could kill seven grandmasters with a single sword strike.
Even he, the strongest grandmaster below the grandmaster level, could not achieve this.
The opponent is already comparable to a legendary Grandmaster.
Lin Hanzhou slowly sheathed his sword, which was not even stained with a single drop of blood.
He didn't seem too surprised by his achievement of killing seven grandmasters with a single sword strike.
After all, in his opinion, those so-called grandmasters were only at the third level, fifth stage.
Although he was only at the third rank, first level, his cultivation was lower than theirs.
But his golden Qi Sea and near-perfect swordsmanship are not just for show.
His top-tier golden Qi Sea allowed him to possess the spiritual power of a typical third-tier martial artist at the seventh or eighth level, even though he had only just entered the third tier.
His near-perfect Xuan-rank sword technique further enhanced his abilities.
In addition, he strikes too quickly, always launching a deadly attack as soon as he sees the opponent, making it impossible for these grandmasters to defend against him.
In conclusion, this explains why he was able to kill seven grandmasters and more than a dozen martial artists with a single sword strike.
Lin Hanzhou's gaze swept over the princes and ministers below who were already terrified.
His voice was calm, yet it contained an undeniable authority.
"From this day forward, Li Yuechan is the Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty."
"Who has a problem with that?"
He paused, a playful smile curving his lips.
"I've always preferred to persuade people with reason."
"If any of you disagree, you can stand up and have a proper argument with me."
The entire court was completely silent at this moment; you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was so frightened by Lin Hanzhou's terrifying strength that they almost forgot to breathe.
However, at that moment, a reckless young man, oblivious to his own mortality, jumped out.
He was a young official who looked to be only in his early twenties.
He pointed at Lin Hanzhou and righteously denounced him.
"You sorcerer! Stop spreading your false rumors and misleading the public!"
"In the hundreds of years since the founding of our Great Qian Dynasty, there has never been a precedent of a woman ascending the throne as emperor. This is to disrupt the moral order of the world and violate the rites and laws of our ancestors! You..."
"You actually said it after I told you to?"
Before the man could finish speaking, Lin Hanzhou ruthlessly interrupted him.
The next moment, Lin Hanzhou appeared in front of that hothead.
A cold light flashed.
The head of that hothead flew high into the air, his face still bearing the fervent passion of "for the country and for the people."
Lin Hanzhou's figure returned to the original spot, as if he had never moved.
He blew on non-existent dust from the sword's edge and said calmly.
"Is there anyone else who wants to reason with me?"
"That person just now committed suicide out of shame because he couldn't argue with me."
As Lin Hanzhou finished speaking, the entire scene remained deathly silent.
Just kidding, who would dare to jump out at this point? The last hothead who "committed suicide out of shame" is still fresh in our minds.
The princes and ministers could no longer hold on and all knelt down.
They shouted in trembling voices as they faced Li Yuechan on the throne.
"Your Majesty, we, your humble servants, pay our respects!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
A bloody internal conflict that was about to erupt was forcibly suppressed by Lin Hanzhou, who single-handedly used his sword.
