Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains-Chapter 916 - 397, Reunion with Wuyuan, Great Jin dispatches generals_3

With utmost reverence, Nourishing Spirit turned and immediately departed.

Sikong Yue sat alone on the high platform, watching Nourishing Spirit's disappearing figure, a slight hint of deep thought slowly emerging in his eyes. He gestured once more and said: "Summon the Saint Heir inside."

"Yes, Sect Hierarch!"

New Yu Era, October 16, 1332

In Youzhou, an expansive plain stretched endlessly, within which lay a vast city hundreds of miles wide, resembling a colossal beast lying motionless amidst the howling Shuofeng winds.

Besides the now-vanquished Capital of Great Yu, the only northern city that could match such grandeur was Jin Capital of Youzhou.

If the northern lands were renowned across The World for their fierce populace, then the folk of Jin Capital were the epitome of such fierceness. Unlike the regions of Dayu Jizhou or the Jiang Nan states, the north relished competition, with an astonishing ratio of Martial Artists. The numerous arenas scattered within the capital, and the sprawling racetracks outside the city, served as the best evidence.

Of course, while the people's temperament was one aspect, when compared to the imperial court, Jin Capital—a centralized hub of wealth from three provinces of the Great Jin Dynasty—was equally as opulent as Dayu or even the Holy Lands of the south.

The grand palace, supported by eighty-one Mysterious Gold columns, even sans the dragons and phoenixes carved into the walls, with its pavilions and towers polished in black gold and floors paved with Spirit Jade, exuded extravagance and magnificence surpassing that of other regions in Shenzhou.

The court of Great Jin, breaking the silence of the past, was now bustling with nearly a hundred people standing on either side, each exuding an imposing demeanor as vast as the ocean, as deep as an ancient abyss. At first glance, none appeared to be below the Shattering Realm cultivation. The three standing nearest the dragon throne, despite having their eyes closed to cultivate, radiated an aura that dominated the assembly.

All the ministers below looked towards these three at the forefront with eyes full of respect and veneration. Evidently, these three were indisputably at the pinnacle of the Great Jin ministers, both in status and power.

"By decree of the Emperor of Jin, Youye Emperor Tuoba Zun is to lead Yunting King Wanyan Kai, Xikang King Helian Chang, and immediately accompany Princess Taiping Yuwen Qing to Hexi for the marriage alliance with the Hou Clan. Armies shall be stationed North of the River to consult with Hexi on the marriage proceedings!"

The individual to the left, known earlier to have bestowed the marriage in Hexi, was actually Wanyan Cheng. He, along with the two armored generals below, stood up together, respectfully kneeling towards the dragon throne, and said: "We, your subjects, accept the command!"

The voice on the dragon throne resounded from nowhere, carrying an age, lacking the domineering aura of the Emperor Father and son of Jin; yet, all ministers within the court remained exceedingly respectful, not daring to show any disrespect, for they all knew that the voice belonged to the State Preceptor.

Zhuge Yuan, the National Teacher of Great Jin, was authorized to directly convey the Emperor's orders.

"By decree of the Emperor of Jin, Yuzhao King Helian Ting, Xikang King Helian Chang, Lingyun King Tuoba Xiong, and Pingcheng King Wanyan Jun are to lead the four armies through the Lincang Path, collaborating with Emperor Wanyan Cheng of Yuliang, and no later than within five years, to eradicate the northern rebellion. Any errors will be dealt with by military law!"

This decree was evidently much more severe than the previous one.

Yet, those named—Tuoba Xiong, Wanyan Jun, Helian Ting, and Helian Chang—all simultaneously displayed strong confidence, and unanimously nodded respectfully, saying:

"We, your subjects, accept the command!"

"Fenling Emperor shall continue to lead the army to launch the main assault on Liangzhou, with all thirteen marquises of Yuzhou at your command. Within a maximum of two years, you must resolve the Demon Derivation Holy Sect issue, with any deviations adjudicated by military law."

"We, your subjects, accept the command!"

Apart from the marriage alliance, whether it was purging the north or annihilating Liangzhou's Demon Derivation Holy Sect, the Emperor of Jin's decrees surprisingly all included the phrase 'adjudicated by military law.'

No Holy Land would dare utter such words boastingly; throughout The World, they'd be ridiculed.

Yet ironically, it was spoken by the Great Jin...
