Five hundred years of stacked Q, this one Q, unique and unparalleled throughout eternity!

Although he was a hereditary nobleman of the Ke family and a prominent figure at the pinnacle of Mingcheng, he was well aware that the Ke family was not a place where he could make decisions on a whim.

The reason why the Ke family was able to possess a hereditary noble heritage and attract the attention of various parties was mainly due to this old man.

Ke Zhen, the strongest genius in the history of the Ke family, a great figure who reached the fourth realm of the extraordinary, the ultimate realm of creation, and also his great-great-grandfather.

This is the highest combat power under the Manifestation of Sainthood. If they were to go to an outer dimension, they would be able to sit in charge of a region and become a colonial governor.

The presence of such a figure in the Ke family is the reason why Ke Wen can act so recklessly.

But now, this very important figure is fawning over a woman who destroyed the Ke family manor and almost destroyed and killed him, the hereditary lord. Ke Wen is not only furious but also filled with fear.

He didn't know why he had offended such a powerful figure, a figure that even the old master Ke Zhen couldn't handle.

High above, Yin Qianyu merely glanced indifferently at the aged-looking Ke Zhen, and spoke in a cold voice:

"Why are these old bones from the four realms not lying in their graves waiting for their chance, but instead coming here to cause chaos and meddle? Do they think they haven't lived long enough?"

Ke Zhen's amiable smile froze slightly, and he bowed to Yin Qianyu, saying:

"Your Highness is too kind. I only wish to protect a trace of my family's bloodline."

"If Your Highness would be so kind as to grant this request, I will keep your presence in Ming City a secret."

Yin Qianyu's lips curled into a cold smile, and the radiance of the sun gathered behind her, transforming into a huge golden throne.

Above the throne, the sun disc mark shone brightly, like a great sun descending to earth, illuminating all realms and directions.

Yin Qianyu slowly sat down, her right hand gently supporting her cheek, her long, beautiful legs crossed, looking down at Ke Zhen like an empress sitting on a throne.

"Do you know what your descendants have done?"

Gazing at the throne manifested under the sun, Ke Zhen shuddered, his withered body bending even lower.

He did not speak, but respectfully bowed to Yin Qianyu on the throne.

With her index finger gently brushing against her silvery-white hair, Yin Qianyu slowly uttered those cold words in an elegant tone.

"He was planning to kill my husband!"

"How should this act of overstepping its bounds be dealt with?"

Ke Zhen suddenly raised his head and looked at Ke Wen beside him with a shocked expression.

Meanwhile, Koben himself was also covered in sweat. The noble sun emblem and the throne sculpted with brilliance finally confirmed the other party's identity.

At the same time, her long, silvery-white hair and stunningly beautiful face quickly awakened memories in Ke Wen's eyes.

The beautiful woman before him, who seemed like an empress, was none other than the wife of the lowly civil servant he had been trying to seize.

With a thud, Ke Wen knelt down and began to speak, his whole body trembling:

"I...I didn't know it was yours. I really didn't mean to offend you."

"Please forgive me, Your Highness! Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Kevin's voice finally betrayed his fear; only now did he realize the extent of his mistake.

Although the woman before him was suppressed by the noble council and failed to inherit the throne, her bloodline was still that of the legitimate imperial lineage, representing the sacred and inviolable imperial power, which was not something that a mere hereditary nobleman like himself could offend.

If such acts of usurpation were to fall into the hands of the noble council, the person would certainly be stripped of their title and demoted to a commoner.

Completely despondent, Ke Wen frantically kowtowed, utterly disregarding the elegant and reserved image he had always maintained.

Ke Zhen took a deep look at his only remaining direct descendant, and the words he wanted to say ultimately turned into a long sigh.

Looking at Yin Qianyu again, Ke Zhen spoke with a pleading tone:

"Ke Wen was unaware of this, please forgive him, Your Highness!"

Yin Qianyu frowned slightly.

"Are you sure you really want to stake the entire Ke family on protecting him?"

In his words, he showed no regard for Ke Zhen's pleas.

Upon hearing this, Ke Zhen's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"The Earl of the Ancient City has proposed in the Noble Council that the Ke family be promoted one rank and become members of the Noble Council."

If Your Highness were to take action against the Ke family at this time, it would be a provocation against the Noble Council.

The celestial inspection has just concluded; Your Highness, please exercise restraint!

Yin Qianyu narrowed her eyes slightly, and a flash of blood seemed to appear in her wine-red eyes.

Are you threatening me?

Chapter Twelve: Whom Am I Asking?

Yin Qianyu's gaze turned dangerous.

She was somewhat surprised that a seemingly half-dead hereditary nobleman could actually get in touch with the Council of Nobles and even use the Council to threaten her.

This made her sense an unusual "accident" in this matter.

Ke Zhen, who had already laid his cards on the table with Yin Qianyu in the hall below, was also filled with mixed feelings.

If Ke Wen were truly just a direct descendant several generations removed from him, he would have no reason to offend Yin Qianyu for the sake of a mere Ke Wen.

Although the Ke family has not developed to the point of being comparable to those ancient families that have branched out for thousands of years, its descendants are still quite numerous and it is not lacking in descendants.

The problem right now is that Ke Wen is the person in the Ke family who is closest to him by blood, and he is his true grandson.

Yes, his own grandson.

After his last revival, Ke Zhen failed in his attempt to break through to a higher realm and unexpectedly had sex with the wife of a descendant with a hidden background, thus leaving behind his precious bloodline.

Later, with Ke Zhen's help, that descendant, who was separated from him by countless generations, successfully took the position of head of the Ke family while wearing a green hat, and his wife gave birth to a child for Ke Zhen.

The child born was Ke Wen's biological father, the previous head of the Ke family.

The previous head of the Ke family died young due to internal strife. Upon learning of this, the old philanderer Ke Zhen was deeply saddened and decided to personally emerge from seclusion to protect his own grandson.

It was thanks to Ke Zhen's strong support that Ke Wen was able to assume the position of hereditary lord.

Otherwise, regardless of status or ability, the Ke family's hereditary title would not have been inherited by Ke Wen, who was only in his twenties.

Now that Yin Qianyu wants to deal with Ke Wen, Ke Zhen is unwilling to give up his own grandson, even if he is on the opposite side of Yin Qianyu.

The details are naturally too complex for outsiders to know.

Having said all that, Yin Qianyu had nothing more to say.

She could already sense that the Yin clan elders, whom she called mummies, had turned their attention to this place.

The elders did not take action against the Ke family, which had offended her authority, because Yin Qianyu was well aware that the Yin clan elders must have been involved in Ke Wen's approach to Luo Tian.

Perhaps it was a bit of spiritual suggestion, or perhaps it was some kind of information guidance, but those old immortals of the Yin clan were eager for Yin Qianyu to sever her connection with Luo Tian.

If Ke Wen really killed Luo Tian, ​​the elders of the Yin clan would naturally petition to suppress the Ke family in order to uphold the dignity of the royal family.

Now that Ke Wen has not achieved his goal, and yesterday's reprimand has made these Yin clan elders feel that Yin Qianyu is slipping out of their control.

Dissatisfied, they planned to use this opportunity to suppress Yin Qianyu's arrogance.

If Yin Qianyu fails to suppress the Ke family on her own, she will face doubts from various forces.

Such questioning is fatal for Yin Qianyu, who possesses legitimate blood and needs to rely on her reputation to deter foreign enemies.

At that time, Yin Qianyu will rely on these elders of the Yin clan even more.

Even if Yin Qianyu successfully suppresses the Ke family, it won't be a loss for the Yin clan elders. They will simply have to be more respectful towards Yin Qianyu from now on.

They naturally wanted to try this kind of sure-fire business.

Her scarlet eyes looked around, as if taking in all the fluctuations in people's hearts.

On the throne, Yin Qianyu slowly raised her right hand, palm up as if holding something.

A heavy, mountain-like aura appeared in the sky, where wind and clouds gathered. Driven by some kind of celestial will, the dense clouds piled up in the sky, as if transforming into an enormous mountain.

On the mountain, there seem to be statues carved into the peaks, blending into the whole mountain.

Noise, rage, war, slaughter... all sorts of wills swirled around Yin Qianyu's palm.

In that fair, jade-like palm, it seemed as if an ancient battlefield, where battles had raged for millennia, was being held.

"Imperial Seal - Hall of Heroes!"

A calm voice resounded throughout the world, and all those who were watching felt the space in front of them suddenly distort, and the next moment the clouds that had turned into mountains crashed down.

The earth collapsed, and an area spanning several miles was forcibly pressed down by this immense force, shattering all life beneath it under the pressure of gravity.

Ke Zhen suddenly rose into the sky, and as his aura surged, his withered body rapidly expanded, transforming into a giant nearly ten meters tall.

With a powerful fist clenched into a fist, the giant roared angrily as his fist, like a battering ram, slammed into the cloud-covered mountain.

An explosion, like a small star hitting the ground, resounded across the earth, and the entire city of Ming seemed to tremble under the immense force.

The earth cracked open, and surging elemental power devoured everything on the battlefield.

Amidst the clamor and chaos, the roars of heroic knights and the furious howls of war beasts seemed to echo above the clouds and mountains.

Beneath the mountain, Ke Zhen, transformed into a giant, had bulging muscles all over his body. Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, he could feel countless weapons slashing towards his body.

Swords sever the body, wills sever the soul; the will manifested by countless boiling heroic spirits engulfed him like a tidal wave.

Beneath the giant's body, his heart pounded like a war drum, and blood surged like waves through his thick blood vessels, stimulating the giant's body to awaken.

A golden light suddenly emanated from his entire body, and Ke Zhen seemed to transform into a giant sculpted from gold, smashing his fists into the enormous cloud mountain as his heart pounded like a war drum.

The clouds and mountains began to dissipate, and the engulfing fog shrouded the entire battlefield, with only the sounds of constant fighting to be heard.

In the sky, Yin Qianyu leaned back on the throne, her gaze indifferent as she looked down at everything below.

Finally, it seemed that the cloud-covered mountains could no longer withstand the attack from the golden giant, and collapsed under the earth-shaking power.

Ke Zhen was slightly taken aback, then his face lit up with joy, and he was about to speak.

But in the next moment, a giant hand emerged from the clouds and slammed his enormous head hard into the ground.

"boom!"

The entire body of the golden giant was embedded in the earth, and the gushing blood stained the ground red.

Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, a giant clad in golden armor, several times larger than the golden giant, appeared and disappeared intermittently.

"Heroic Spirit - Giant Spirit God!"
