Chapter 524: The Coronation of the County Governor

The Heaven-Breaker bears their own weight.

This weight is immense, capable of destroying all body and soul, leaving one beyond redemption.

But if one successfully endures it, it is like Nirvana.

Those who achieve Nirvana shall soar above the nine heavens, becoming the sole focus of heaven and earth.

At this moment, Xu Qing, who has returned after trampling through thorns, is that one who has achieved Nirvana.

After experiencing all the calamities before, the figure reflected in the eyes of the masses in the capital is like the most brilliant light between heaven and earth.

This light, ten thousand zhang high, ignited the fire of emotion in the hearts of the county's living beings and detonated the repressed hearts of those who had suffered through the Fenghai County crisis.

Heaven and earth boiled for it, and all directions cheered for it.

Sound waves rolled, and winds rose with the clouds.

In truth, these past two years have been far too difficult for every single person in Fenghai County.

"Because of such a lone hero, it seems unacceptable for him to be reprimanded by the Imperial Father."

Zheng Guan murmured in his heart, looking toward Yao Hou.

Soon, this title gained consensus, and many voices called it out one after another.

The First Imperial Prince fell silent; I know the general trend is gone.

Once the Palace Master spoke, the four directions seemed to explode; everyone's emotions were completely ignited at this moment, and the First Imperial Prince sighed deeply in his heart.

The bowing of hundreds of thousands of people caused the crown of luck above Zheng Guan's head to emit a roaring sound, surging again, its light exceeding ten thousand zhang.

Clearly, the Human Emperor attaches great importance to this, but the rules cannot be changed.

Even if it fails, as long as it is done, this is the attitude of Yao Tianyan, and even the Human Emperor cannot weigh it lightly.

In the same month, the Human Emperor issued seven edicts; the first edict gently reprimanded the First Imperial Prince for his lack of oversight and gave him one demerit.

"The Imperial Father will likely not accept it, but I must also weigh the will of Yao Tianyan. No matter what, Zheng Guan's actions were to stake his own life, sparing nothing to tell the world, to tell the entire human race, to tell the Human Emperor, that Yao Tianyan... only recognizes Yao Hou."

But today, they believe this person is Xu Qing!

Today, I will do something earth-shattering, something the human race has never done before!

Today is not a seven-in-one; there is more during the day.

Under the bright moon, no one paid attention to the First Imperial Prince, and after a silence, the First Imperial Prince suddenly smiled; I concede this round.

This is the choice of Yao Tianyan!

After this, that thought did not exist even a little bit.

"I think the old County Governor and Brother Liangxiu, in their heroic spirits in heaven, would also accept me doing so."

The rescue efforts in various prefectures of Yao Tianyan also unfolded one after another under the orders of the capital.

The power of Yao Tianyan was also quickly mobilized; as hundreds of thousands of cultivators dispersed, they began to dispel foreign substances and save the common folk, everything in an orderly manner.

Countless voices gathered together, like the descent of heavenly might into the world.

Before leaving, he turned his head and looked at Zheng Ying from afar; this time returning, this time at the grand ceremony, Yao Hou's figure was incomparably clear in his heart.

But Zheng Ying's opening at this moment has a different meaning, because asking heaven, asking earth, and asking the people—this is the ceremony for crowning the County Governor!

Among them, Li Yunshan's expression carried relief.

And the appointments within the imperial edict revealed key information in two places: one was the appointment of Zheng Kaiyi, and the other was Yao Tianyan's right to self-recommendation.

The eight palace deputies to Xu Qing each revealed smiles on their faces and also cupped their fists.

Until Yao Hou walked to the altar square.

Everyone's heart was extremely anxious; they were bewildered, they were bitter, they were helpless; they needed someone to appear to change all this, they needed someone to lead them to break through all of this.

The Human Emperor's Great General of Questioning the Heart, Sword-Wielder Yao Hou, walked out alone during the County Governor's coronation ceremony, sparing no life, forgetting no original intention, turning the tide, exposing the conspiracy, resolving the crisis of Zheng Ying, and saving Yao Tianyan from catastrophe.

At the same time, there was no concealment of the various causes and effects regarding this change of the County Chancellor, and it was all announced to Yao Tianyan, letting all parties know the truth.

Yao Tianyan underwent a great change; the original County Chancellor was transformed by a member of the Candlelight, true name Bai Xiaozhuo, who was once the County Governor of Yao Tianyan in the Purple Green Upper Kingdom, returned through reincarnation by the method of gods, caused chaos in Fenghai, and intended to summon

the descent of the ancient times, bringing disaster to the common people.

"Ask the people!"

The heavenly thunder roared; although there was no verbal response to the words of asking heaven, that clap of thunder was the sound of Zheng Ying's sky.

Begging for monthly votes.

"County Governor!"

But the attitude of Yao Tianyan could not be ignored, so there was the appointment of the First Master.

The First Imperial Prince in the sky, looking at the approaching Yao Hou, looking at everything around him, understood that from now on in Yao Tianyan, no one would be able to shake Yao Hou in the slightest.

The fifth edict appointed the descendant of the Heavenly Marquis to serve as the acting County Governor of Fenghai County, specifically appointing the folk righteous cultivator Zheng Kaiyi to the position of County Chancellor, and granted Zheng Ying the qualification to self-recommend the next County Governor; anyone who meets the Void Returning cultivation base can be self-recommended by Yao Tianyan.

The sixth edict ordered the entire human race to hunt down the Candlelight, ordered all counties and prefectures to immediately self-inspect, and ordered the Upper Profound Seven Palaces to establish relevant departments to immediately patrol all places and behead all those related to the Candlelight.

The Eight Palace Attendants also went to bow, looking at Yao Hou with a dazed expression.

"This child, both publicly and privately, you must create an indestructible golden body of Yao Tianyan for me!"

The seventh edict removed Xu Qing as the commander of the Eight Palaces of Yao Tianyan and appointed the deputy Xu Qing as the primary.

Wherever he passed, the common folk bowed, and the cultivators were the same; all the way he walked, all the way it was like that.

"Ask the earth!"

Zheng Ying, in this spotlight, with luck added to his body, felt his heart surging, his emotions fluctuating violently.

Smiling, he chose to leave, taking the army away from Yao Tianyan; he will return to the Saint Lan battlefield, where his stage truly is.

Seven imperial edicts were announced to the world.

"County Governor!"

This represents the hearts of the people, representing the will of Yao Tianyan.

For a time, the human domains and counties were all shaken, and the name of Yao Hou spread everywhere.

Moreover, it doesn't matter; even if this matter cannot be directly successful right now, as long as it is done, then it will definitely be successful in the future.

I just did something that my heart desired and that I could walk toward.

The fall of the old County Governor was like a haze covering the hearts of all living beings, and the sudden arrival of war and the death of the Palace Master were like a tribulation thunder descending in this haze, tearing Fenghai County apart, leaving huge scars in the hearts of all who survived.

As for the Palace Master, I gazed at Yao Hou, a smile appearing on his face, his eyes carrying deep meaning, and even a touch of decisiveness.

The crown ring above his head became increasingly eye-catching.

And the start of the war made the precarious Fenghai County just begin to recover, but the change of the County Chancellor made people despair.

Hundreds of thousands of cultivators at the altar, hundreds of millions of common folk in the capital, all at this moment, emitted a sound.

The Palace Master's eyes revealed a strange light; once the words were spoken, the earth roared, as if responding.

The First Master did not bow, the Captain did not bow; among the people of Yao Tianyan, only the two of them had the qualification not to bow, because they were not of the same lineage as Yao Hou.

And in the history of the human race, there has never been a Nascent Soul-faking cultivator serving as a County Governor; this matter will definitely attract the high attention of the Human Emperor.

But many things cannot be left undone because they cannot be completed.

The Captain on the side was also like this, puffing out his chest, his eyes revealing pride.

"Can!"

The seventh edict granted the Sword-Wielder Zheng Ying a gold medal, a yellow robe, qualifications for the Imperial Academy, and first-class military merit of the human race.

Especially the First Master, the pride in his eyes could not be concealed in the slightest, incomparably clear.

"Ask heaven!"

At this moment, the sky changed color, auspicious signs were endless, the cheers on the earth were boundless, sound waves roared in all directions; regardless of men, women, old, or young, regardless of common folk or cultivators, in their eyes, in their hearts, there was only the figure of Yao Hou alone.

This person, they once thought was the Palace Master, but the Palace Master died in battle.

And Yao Hou also gathered the eyes of all living beings in Yao Tianyan.

Because of the relationship between the First Master and Yao Hou, everyone in Yao Tianyan knew it.

Zheng Ying on his shoulder, looking at all this, felt a huge wave rising in his heart.

Afterward, there were sporadic shouts among the common folk; this actually didn't mean anything, after all, no matter how they shouted, they were just words of emotional excitement and could not be taken seriously.

Stepping into the capital, he headed straight for the altar.

No one asked them to do so, but after witnessing everything before, they instinctively wanted to do so.

In the cheers of these living beings, when the atmosphere of the entire Yao Tianyan capital reached its extreme, the Great Elder of the Wood Spirit Clan, who escorted Zheng Ying back, stopped a hundred zhang outside the capital city under Yao Hou's signal.

Especially since this matter was pushed by Fenghai County, as one of the contributors to the County Chancellor affair, as the only old man who survived during the war, as a victim of injustice, and as one of the former Seven Giants of Yao Tianyan, he had that qualification.

The Fenghai catastrophe, from this day on, everything... began to recover.

Until the calls within the capital grew louder and louder, Yao Hou took a deep breath, suppressed the waves in his heart, and walked backward step by step.

So he stood outside the capital and was silent for a few breaths.

For Xu Qing, for the fall of the old County Governor, for the resolution of the Yao Tianyan catastrophe, for the lone hero, any reason was enough to make them bow willingly.

The Golden Dragon roared, Qing Qin hissed, and luck gathered continuously from every human being, from the sky, from the earth, making the crown ring above Yao Hou's head increasingly brilliant and eye-catching.

Bowing deeply toward Zheng Ying, toward the Eight Palaces, and toward the entire capital.

The Palace Master looked toward the capital.

The change of the County Chancellor began here.

Although the possibility of this matter succeeding was almost non-existent, because ancient traditions are difficult to shake.

They once thought it was the Seventh Imperial Prince, it was the County Chancellor...

And for Zheng Ying, a new, new sail will also set off.

The County Governor's grand ceremony dropped its curtain.

And among the people here, only he possessed the qualification to push this matter.

Thus, someone shouted the two words "County Governor" amidst the cheers!

The First Imperial Prince left calmly.

Xuan Battle Calendar, year 7487, end of November.

A touch of bewilderment rose in his heart.

He was only seventeen years old after all; even though he had learned a lot from his Master and the Captain, at this moment, Yao Hou's heart was fluctuating incomparably; he had never thought about becoming a County Governor.

His status will be at the peak of Yao Tianyan.

As for self-recommendation, it clearly indicated that as long as Zheng Ying's cultivation base reached Void Returning, then he... would be the County Governor of Yao Tianyan that day.

At this moment, the sky shone, and the bodies of successive County Governors manifested one after another in the luck, spreading across the sky, standing in all directions, as if witnessing this moment.

"The hearts of the people have been ignited by him, difficult to shake, becoming an eternal fire."

He gazed in all directions, his thoughts were myriad, finally turning into a bow.

Thinking of this, the Palace Master cupped his fists toward Yao Hou and bowed heavily; his voice carried solemnity and spread in all directions.

From then on, regardless of whether the Human Emperor approves or not, in Yao Tianyan, even if he does not have the status of County Governor, his words will carry incomparably heavy weight.

The Human Emperor was moved.

The moment he arrived here, hundreds of thousands of Eight Palace cultivators on the earth revealed intense light in their eyes, cupping their fists and bowing toward Yao Hou!

"In Yao Tianyan, besides Fenghai County, there is one more person who makes me remember."
