The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 301 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 76

As time went on, the battle between the two sides intensified, but neither side backed down easily.

Xiao Ruojin remained firmly seated in the imperial court, showing no intention of personally going to the front lines. Instead, he continuously mobilized those in the martial arts world to join the battle.

This is the perfect opportunity to weaken the power of the martial arts world and strengthen the imperial court's control. How could he possibly miss it?

After nearly nine months of arduous fighting, Xiao Ruofeng finally led his army to the capital of Nanjue, just one step away from victory.

Seeing that defeat was inevitable, the Emperor of Nanjue, in his anger and despair, conceived the absurd and cruel idea of ​​imitating the Western Chu and turning the remaining soldiers and innocent civilians in the capital into medicine people, attempting to use this as a last-ditch effort to resist the army of Beili.

This news immediately caused a great stir both inside and outside the capital.

Faced with such atrocities, the ministers of Nanjue were shocked but quickly reached a consensus to open the city gates and surrender, allowing the Beili army to enter the capital smoothly.

Thus, this nine-month-long southern expedition finally came to an end.

Even in the years following the fall of Nanjue, Xiao Ruojin did not cease his conquests.

While continuing to send elite troops to conquer the small, unconquered border states and expand the territory of Beili, he also began to assimilate these defeated nations through various means, including policy, education, culture, and economy.

Conquering the world is easy; maintaining it is difficult.

The north and south campaigns lasted only five years, but it took twenty years to truly unite the world and achieve unification.

-------------------------------------

Tianqi City.

Emperor Xiao Ruojin of Beili, who was already over fifty years old, still looked young. At this moment, he was standing on the Star Moon Pavilion of the Imperial Observatory, looking up at the vast starry sky. His gaze penetrated the void and he felt the destiny of the Beili nation soaring into the sky.

After a long pause, he smiled slightly and said, "That's about it."

The next day, after the morning court session, Prince Langya, Xiao Ruofeng, was summoned to the imperial study. Xiao Ruojin asked him directly, "Ruofeng, in your opinion, among your nephews, who is more suitable to be the crown prince?"

Xiao Ruofeng was taken aback upon hearing this and blurted out, "Beili has established a rule of not appointing a crown prince since the beginning of its founding. Moreover, my brother is in the prime of his life. Why did you suddenly bring this up?"

Xiao Ruojin never revealed to the outside world her plan to ascend to heaven and defeat those demons.

For so many years, he has always been diligent in his duties as an emperor, conscientiously fulfilling his responsibilities, and showing no sign of wanting to rebel against Heaven.

"Establishing a crown prince and stabilizing the country as soon as possible will greatly benefit the country's long-term development," Xiao Ruojin said quietly.

Xiao Ruofeng still frowned. Bei Li had never appointed a crown prince. Mentioning the heir apparent was like implying that the old emperor was about to die.

With Xiao Ruojin's current cultivation level, living to be one or two hundred years old is no problem. How could she suddenly die?

Therefore, Xiao Ruofeng refused to consider this question: "Brother, you are wise and powerful, you unified the world and achieved unprecedented greatness, you can be called a great emperor for all time. With you as a shining example, who in the world can compare to you?"

Xiao Ruojin shook her head, both amused and exasperated: "You, I don't know when you developed this habit, but when you encounter something you don't want to discuss in depth, you start praising me in an attempt to change the subject."

Xiao Ruofeng smiled but didn't say anything.

In fact, over the years, the relationship between Xiao Ruojin and Xiao Ruofeng has not changed much. On the contrary, as the country has become stronger, Xiao Ruojin's reliance on Xiao Ruofeng has become even deeper.

However, as the country gradually stabilized and the princes grew up, Xiao Ruofeng began to consciously reduce the power in his hands.

Firstly, he did not want to cause unnecessary trouble due to his excessive power, and to put his elder brother Xiao Ruojin in a difficult position again; secondly, he had the desire to roam the world freely since he was young, but at that time the country was unstable and the state was not secure, and as the Prince of Langya, he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting his country.

Now that the world is unified and the court is full of talented people, he can finally put down the burden in his heart and pursue the dream he had in his youth.

To his utter surprise, before he could even pursue his dreams, Xiao Ruojin left behind an imperial decree ordering him to oversee the country. Then, she took the Heaven-Slaying Sword and vanished without a trace, as if she had evaporated into thin air.

Xiao Ruofeng was extremely anxious about this, almost to the point of madness. But at this critical juncture, he had to suppress his inner turmoil and pretend to be nonchalant as he began to oversee the country every day.

Meanwhile, Kunlun, thousands of miles away, received a rare guest.

"I knew you'd come sooner or later." Nangong Chunshui, now a young man, sighed softly upon seeing Xiao Ruojin: "You are now the ruler of the world, why bother to personally risk your life and do such a dangerous thing?"

Xiao Ruojin smiled gently, her expression calm and composed: "Sir, you may not know, but when I was young, I made a grand vow to become an emperor for all time."

"However, after thinking about it, although I have now unified the world and achieved a great feat that no one in ancient times could achieve, it does not mean that future generations cannot reach the heights I have reached today."

"So after thinking it over, I decided to go up and kill those people."

"Once this succeeds, I will be the only one in heaven and earth, truly unprecedented and unparalleled, with no one able to match me."

“You really are…” Nangong Chunshui remained silent for a long time before finally shaking his head helplessly and sighing, “Since you’ve made up your mind, then go. I’ll be watching over you from below.”

"Then I'll trouble you, sir." Xiao Ruojin smiled casually, slowly drawing the Heaven-Slaying Sword, its blade gleaming with a chilling light.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a sharp sword aura shot straight into the sky.

The Heaven Slash can slay the heavens.

As the sword was swung, a crack actually appeared in the sky.

Recalling the blow that severely injured her from the sky twenty years ago, Xiao Ruojin smiled coldly and leaped into the crevice without hesitation.

Nangong Chunshui gazed in the direction where Xiao Ruojin had disappeared, let out another soft sigh, and then her expression became solemn as she earnestly waited below.

He looked up at the sky and saw that the once calm sky suddenly began to change unpredictably. The clouds rolled and churned, sometimes as black as ink, sometimes colorful, and finally turned into a shocking bright red color, which made him very frightened.

One day, two days, three days... until the tenth day, the sky changed dramatically once again.

A gigantic vortex appeared out of nowhere on the horizon, spinning and swallowing everything around it.
