The people who had gave up their pride and went down on their knees had cold sweat all over their bodies.
It was apparent at this moment that Gu Shang never said anything he was incapable of.
Since his arrival, he's taken so many lives without even flinching, they were also sure that If they had not bowed, Gu Shang would have killed them all, Why?
Because he just killed the f**king heir to the Moonshade Sect without even blinking.
The Moonshade Sect was a 3 star sect. In this world sects and empires were cultivated just like human beings.
Empires used tiers whiles Sects used stars.
Before a country could be called an empire, they needed to have a Supreme Sovereign holding the fort, and with that, the numbers mattered.
Also because of the six stages of cultivation, they were divided into lower, middle, high and peak tier empires.
The immortal empire was considered a lower tier empire because they had less that 15 Supreme Sovereign and the strongest person in the imperial family was a Quasi Immortal King.
A sect with a Quasi Supreme Sovereign only qualified to be a peak two star sect so if the immortal empire was to be equated to a sect, it would only be a peak 2 Star Sect, but might defer depending on the number of experts.
Usually sects started cultivating from a half star and beyond. Whenever a sect becomes more powerful than the empire or kingdom their territory was in, they disregard imperial authority and do as they please.
Some even go as far as subjugating the kingdom or empire they came from.
The immortal empire also faced similar situation, the small fry sects in their territory which they could command at will had now become greater than the empire.
They take the finest resources in the empire and leave a pitiful few for the empire.
The immortal empire actually had three of such sects.
Though the Moonshade Sect was not part of the big three, they were more powerful than the empire.
The Moonshade Sect was actually a 3 Sect, meaning they had a true boni fied Immortal King.
The heir of such a sect was beheaded by Gu Shang, the Grand General of an empire with only a Quasi Immortal King as their protector.
Did Gu Shang not fear the wrath of the sect? They shuddered thinking about it.
Gu Shang didn't care about the Moonshade Sect or whatever, if they knew what was good for them they'll better stay far from him or he won't mind flatting them down.
Gu Shang nodded in satisfaction as he saw the minister kneeling before him, their previous arrogance nowhere to be seen.
"Liu Feifei of the Liu family, you may rise on your feet, after all I can't have my wife bowing to me" Gu Shang said softly.
Liu Feifei was startled, before realizing that Gu Shang had just called her name and recognize her as his wife.
After Liu Feifei got up still in her trance, the first emissary who had been expression the whole time eyes suddenly lit up.
He turned to the troops and shouted with excitement, what are you guys waiting for! Greet the madam.
All the soldiers bowed again and chanted
"Greetings to the Princess Of The North"
Liu Feifei got out of her trance to only realize 90,000 soldiers referring to her as the Princess Of The North.
She was left speechless and too stunned to speak.
Gu Shang signalled the old general of the Liu family to rise.
The other officials and families wanted to follow but the cold voice of the seventh emissary got them to keep their position.
"And who gave you the permission to rise!" He said with killing intent.
The old general and his son got up and bowed to Gu Shang.
Gu Shang didn't stop them.
Gu Shang looked at Liu Feifei for a few seconds before saying, "Liu Feifei, over the last seven years, you've served the capital guards with all your heart, and even though the Zhang Clan suppressed you at every turn, you never gave up.
I therefore appoint you as the commander of the capital guards, serve the people and correct every wrong that has been committed in the last few years.
It would be challenging, but do you accept?"
Gu Shang brought out a golden scroll from his spatial ring and held it.
It was the scroll of appointment.
Liu Feifei was almost in tears,over the last few years she had gone through a lot of bullying by the Zhang Clan.
She had nowhere to turn to, and so suffered in silence. She had once wanted to leave everything behind and run away from the capital to start a new life, but couldn't because of her clan.
She has thought that this was going to be her fate forever.
She had never imagined that Gu Shang her husband would one day be the light to shine in her dark world.
This few days she had shared her grievances with Gu Shang but never thought he would solve them for her.
She got on her knees and accepted the scroll which floated to her, she cut her finger and allowed droplets of her blood to soak the golden scroll.
A golden halo surrounded her, blinding everyone there for a few moments before disappearing.
The initialization was done, Liu Feifei was now officially the commander of the capital guards.
The old general and his son couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear.
Gu Shang did not really want to give her that position because she was his wife after all.
But he also knew what the capital guard meant for her, that's why he gave her the position.
The crowd now understood why the Zhang Clan were exterminated, they had actually suppressed the princess of the north for seven years.
They really had it coming.
Just then, a middle aged man appeared out of nowhere and approached Gu Shang.
The people kneeling down were all shocked, That man had the aura of a Quasi Immortal King.
The crowd were shocked once again, wasn't there supposed to be only one of them in the imperial family?
Who was this one? Was he sent by the Moonshade Sect who want revenge.
Some people genuinely prayed for their assumption to be right, but to their dismay the middle aged man went on his knees with a clasped hands.
"Greetings your grace, your subordinate welcome your entry into Imperial Domain"
This was...! The strongest cultivator in the empire was a Quasi Immortal King, but now your are telling me Gu Shang has one as a subordinate.
Will the imperial family be able to keep Gu Shang under control? The answer was a big no.
The kneeling quasi Immortal King handed Gu Shang a black scroll.
The quasi Immortal King was the same person who's been taking orders from Gu Shang this past three days and making preparations.
Gu Shang who had both his hands behind his back, moved his right hand and took the scroll.
He raised the scroll up and glanced at the kneeling officials.
"This black scrolls contain the names of dead men and noble clans.
Of course they are still alive now and some may be kneeling before me...But not for long, though" he said in a cold voice.
The blood shed was not over, the high ranking officials shuddered in fear.
How many heads was Gu Shang going to take this time? Were they part of those going to die this time?
Some officials asked themselves.
