The Burial Tower of Immortals buries the heavens, the earth, and all the immortals.

Surprisingly, Eunuch Wei did not order the Imperial Guards to arrest Qin Changye, but instead took out a bright yellow imperial edict.

"The imperial edict has arrived."

Then, Eunuch Wei raised his narrow eyebrows slightly, his gaze falling on Qin Changye, his eyes filled with a sinister, cold light: "Young Master Qin, why don't you kneel down and receive the imperial decree at once?"

Qin Changye, of course, would not kneel down. He stood even more upright, his tone neither humble nor arrogant: "I served in the army during the Qin Prince's era and made great contributions. The late emperor granted me special permission not to kneel upon seeing the imperial edict."

A shadow crossed Wei Gonggong's face, but the words "the late emperor's special permission" silenced him, leaving him no room for rebuttal.

He snorted coldly, slowly unfurling the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand, and the shrill voice rang out again:

"By the grace of Heaven, the Empress decrees: Qin Changye, heir of the Qin royal family and descendant of meritorious officials, and Zhao Qingcheng, commander of the border army with outstanding military achievements, are a match made in heaven. They are hereby granted permission to marry within three days without fail."

After the imperial edict was read, the entire audience erupted in uproar.

Zhao Qingcheng!

That man is the most ruthless person in the border army right now, so ruthless that he's practically poisonous.

During the battle at Dahang Mountain, a plague broke out among our border troops, causing morale to plummet and defeat to be inevitable. She then used the army's catapults to throw the plague-infected corpses into the enemy's camp.

In the incident at Vientiane City, the enemy city was large and had high walls, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. Seeing that she could not take it down after a long siege, she ordered the wounded soldiers to take off their armor, put on coarse linen clothes, disguise themselves as refugees, enter the city, and set fires everywhere. When the enemy army was busy putting out the fires and had no time to do anything else, she forcefully broke into the city and finally brutally massacred the city.

Can Qin Changye handle such a ruthless and unparalleled person?

Moreover, Qin Changye and she had a blood feud involving the massacre of her entire family.

Admittedly, You Fengyun was her stepmother, and Zhao Ruyan was not her biological sister, but Zhao Gao was her biological father.

If it weren't for the fierce battle that was taking place on the border a few days ago, she probably would have already stormed into the capital and torn Qin Changye to pieces.

Now that she has won a great victory in the decisive battle, she will immediately return to the capital. The first thing she will do upon her return is to tear Qin Changye apart alive.

Now you want her to marry Qin Changye, her mortal enemy who killed her father?

Everyone was puzzled as to what the wise and powerful Empress was thinking.

Beside him, Ren Pingsheng's face darkened first. He leaned closer to Qin Changye and said, "Zhao Qingcheng is far superior to Zhao Ruyan. She is a tyrant in the human world, a god of death sent from heaven, and she even has a blood feud with you for killing your father. You can't subdue her."

Qin Changye was not intimidated; instead, a hint of interest flashed across his face: "Whether it can be subdued or not, we'll only know after trying."

In his past life, Qin Changye had subdued far too many ruthless people; a mere female killing god was nothing to him.

Moreover, based on past experience, subduing such a ruthless person might be difficult, but once subdued, the results will be surprisingly different.

Ren Pingsheng was stunned for a moment. Looking at the calm smile on Qin Changye's face, he seemed to see his master Xiao Huohuo, who was full of vigor and high spirits that day in the Pill Pavilion, casually refining waste pill residue into Rejuvenation Pill.

He took a deep breath and continued, "Actually, her ruthlessness isn't the most terrifying thing; what's most terrifying about her is that she brings misfortune to her husbands!"

"Before she achieved great military exploits, she already had countless suitors thanks to her stunning beauty."

"The Zhao family has arranged marriages for her with many men, all of whom are prominent figures, including even a prince."

"But on the wedding day, all of them died, and in the same way: they were struck by a phoenix-shaped bolt of lightning and their ashes were scattered everywhere."

"From that time on, no one dared to marry her!"

Ren Pingsheng clenched his fists, his eyes flashing coldly: "Her Majesty the Empress wants you to marry her, which means she wants you dead!"

Beside him, Master Ta's face was unusually solemn: "The day she returns in triumph and marries you will be the day you die."

After they finished speaking, they thought Qin Changye must be afraid.

But Qin Changye's interest only grew stronger, and the curve of his lips was harder to suppress than the waves.

Thunder in the shape of a phoenix.

She killed her fiancé on their wedding day.

This is... a sign of awakening the Lone Phoenix Demon Body!

The Lone Phoenix Body ranks among the top ten of the three thousand physiques in the human realm, far surpassing Zhao Ruyan's Nine Yin Body, and even comparable to Xiuer's Exquisite Overlord Body.

This constitution is extremely strange. Before their wedding, those who possess this constitution will have their malevolent energy erupt uncontrollably and condense into malevolent lightning.

If her marriage partner is physically weaker than her, she will be struck dead by this cursed lightning.

For example, those noble families, military families, and even princes who married into her family one after another, although some of them had good physiques, how could they compare to the Lone Phoenix's Fiendish Body?

So they all died.

Qin Changye is different.

The Pure Yang Immortal Body surpasses the three thousand physiques of the human realm.

No matter how terrifying the Lone Phoenix Body is, it can only bow down and submit before the Pure Yang Immortal Body.

On his wedding day, Qin Changye will not only survive the lightning strike, but he will also be able to refine it, causing his cultivation to surge.

Her Majesty the Empress was not ordering his death.

This is someone personally delivering an incredible opportunity to him!

Therefore, he looked at Eunuch Wei without hesitation and said, "I accept this imperial edict!"

The entire audience was shocked.

"Fine, fine, you won't accept it, huh? That's disobeying an imperial edict... Wait, what did you just say? You accepted the imperial edict?"

Wei Gonggong was halfway through his sentence when he realized he had misheard.

Before coming, Her Majesty the Empress specifically instructed that Qin Changye would definitely not accept the imperial decree.

If he refused the imperial decree, it would be tantamount to defying the decree in public, which would give him sufficient reason to have the imperial guards behind him take action against him.

If the Blood-Clad Guards dare to obstruct us, we will summon Her Majesty the Empress and remove this thorn in our side.

This is a carefully orchestrated scheme by Her Majesty the Empress!

Who would have thought that Qin Changye would act unpredictably and accept the imperial decree without hesitation!

Things have gone in the opposite direction of Her Majesty the Empress's expectations!

This Qin Changye, daring to marry Zhao Qingcheng, he's really stubborn!

however.

Qin Changye agreed, but Ren Pingsheng and the others did not.

Qin Changye is not only their new Heavenly King, but also their master, their boss, or their friend. They cannot watch Qin Changye jump into the fire pit.

The next moment, the three of them walked up to Qin Changye at the same time.

Ren Pingsheng and Ta Ye continued to patiently explain the pros and cons, urging Qin Changye to consider the matter carefully. Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, why insist on going into the tiger's den?

Li Yourong was even more straightforward. While saying that it was getting cold, she took out a yellow coat and draped it over Qin Changye.

She added that while the Empress was indeed a formidable fighter, even if all the Blood-Clad Guards attacked together, she might not be able to wipe them all out...

"Don't worry, I'm confident. Marrying Zhao Qingcheng won't kill me; in fact, it will make me progress even faster."

Qin Changye spoke seriously.

As for being adorned in imperial robes?

Now is not the time.

We need to wait until he upgrades it again, and the army of immortal puppets in the Burial Tower can be increased.

Then, Qin Changye stepped forward a few steps, and the moment he received the imperial edict, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, Eunuch Wei let out a miserable scream. His body felt as if it had been shoved by a tremendous force, and he was sent flying backward at high speed.

He fell in an extremely exaggerated manner, with his arms outstretched, and the back of his head hit the ground first, slamming hard against the bluestone slab with a dull thud.

The entire room fell silent, and all eyes were on Eunuch Wei.

Wei Gonggong struggled to sit up, his finger trembling as he pointed at Qin Changye, his face filled with undisguised grief and indignation:

"Young Master Qin, I won't say anything about your refusal to kneel before the imperial edict, but what kind of reason is it for you to harbor resentment and beat my family?"

"Although I am just a eunuch and my status cannot compare to that of a prince, I am here to deliver His Majesty's decree on behalf of His Majesty. If you are disrespectful to me, you are disrespectful to His Majesty."

"Young Master Qin, how dare you openly provoke Her Majesty the Empress?"
