Chapter 1183: Chapter 1183: The Great Purge
After finishing speaking, Qin Sisi’s wrist gently rotated, and the peak of the hundred-ter-high giant waves began to bend downward following her movent. The continuous influx of seawater gradually covered the sky above the seven islands.
The evening sun spilled down, but only a few rays of light could penetrate the seawater layer above the seven islands, casting on Seven Pearl City, which suddenly beca so dark that it seed it could sink into eternal darkness at any mont.
"Spare us, Your Highness the Saint!"
"Spare us, Your Highness the Saint!"
...
Under Qin Sisi’s majesty and the threat of death, billions of people began to desperately plead for rcy. Though the people of Seven Pearl City were adept in water, few could survive in the mysterious and dangerous sea.
At this mont, everyone finally started to resent and hate Hong Ji, as his selfishness had plunged the entire Seven Pearl City into the abyss of destruction.
Now that Hong Ji was dead, his wife, daughter, niece, and his most loyal subordinates had beco targets of condemnation, and they were no longer aggressive as before.
"Saintly Queen’s wisdom prevails, a traitor like Hong Ji deserves death by everyone’s hands, those who betrayed with him deserve to die too. But there are billions of innocent citizens in Seven Pearl City, many of whom are ordinary people without magical power. I earnestly plead the Saintly Queen to show leniency, punish the guilty, and forgive the innocent."
"Your Excellency the Saintly Queen, my daughter was violated by that beast Hong Yuan and then killed by his tigress of a wife. I hate them more than anyone else in this world, and I swear never to betray the Jiuxi Royal Family with them."
"Saintly Queen, if you cannot discern right from wrong and reward and punish clearly, how are you any different from the ruthless Tian Xiaozi?"
The fear of death grew ever stronger, and finally, so brave souls stood up to reason with Qin Sisi, hoping she would spare Seven Pearl City.
Qin Sisi’s expression remained unchanged as she coldly gazed down at Seven Pearl City, the seven picturesque islands likened to seven radiant pearls, enduring thousands of years of changes at sea.
"Without destruction, there can be no creation. Seven Pearl City may remain, but so must pay the price, or else Seven Pearl City could be tempted by Tian Xiaozi to beco his weapon against Ye You."
Since hearing Qin Sisi propose to flood Seven Pearl City, Qing Xun raised her head, staring blankly at Qin Sisi in the sky above.
Once upon a ti, she was a weak and defeated fugitive in Fengge Wang City, hiding the black cat Ye You in her clothing like a pregnant beggar, in utter disgrace.
Now, she soared in the skies, commanding and charismatic, though not yet a true Saintly Queen. Qing Xun believed she wasn’t far from that position.
Life’s encounters are truly wondrous; one cannot easily tell if Qin Sisi’s encounter with Ye You was lucky for her or for Ye You.
But was she truly going to destroy Seven Pearl City?
Qin Sisi’s gaze wandered, scanning Qing Xun’s face and locking eyes for a few seconds before slowly looking away.
Suddenly, Qing Xun had a revelation; Qin Sisi wasn’t truly intending to destroy Seven Pearl City. She was helping Ye You, and also helping him.
Qing Xun’s eyes brightened instantly, releasing magical power to form magic wings behind him, and flew into the air to face Qin Sisi.
Facing Qin Sisi, nestled between two magnificent wings, Qing Xun knelt on one knee and sincerely implored: "Zhulu Qingxun greets Saintly Queen; Your compassion blesses us. Please forgive the innocent citizens of Seven Pearl City. Qing Xun is willing to personally extinguish all the betrayal, to return a bright and clear sky to Seven Pearl City, and here swears by the Magic Source always to be loyal to the Jiuxi Royal Family and Prince Ye You."
Qing Xun also used magical power to make his voice heard by everyone.
Qin Sisi stared quietly at Qing Xun for a while, then shifted her gaze to the ground, her lips slightly parted. Her calm and authoritative voice spread across Seven Pearl City: "I accept your loyalty, but can you assure
that everyone in Seven Pearl City will be as loyal as you are?"
Seeing that there seed to be a hint of leniency in Qin Sisi’s words, the people on the ground imitated Qing Xun’s actions, kneeling loudly, pledging allegiance to the Jiuxi Royal Family and Prince Ye You, vowing never to betray.
"Rember your oath, and anyone who breaks it in the future will be killed without rcy."
After saying this, Qin Sisi flicked her palm, causing the seawater covering the sky above Seven Pearl City to retreat, followed by the hundreds-ter-tall water walls surrounding it, as turbulent waters returned to their original positions.
Nonetheless, Seven Pearl City’s lighting did not brighten as night had already fallen.
A lonely and lancholic crescent moon hung in the deep blue night sky, its halo faint.
Following this, the Zhulu family underwent a major purge. Over the years, under Hong Ji’s rule, the Zhulu family had beco increasingly corrupt, indulging, bullying others, and Hong Yuan’s actions beca models for so to follow.
Seizing this opportunity, all those involved in the rebellion with Tian Xiaozi, regardless of their position, were arrested and temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon, cramming it full.
Three days later, Qing Xun held a funeral for his mother, Mrs. Ying, mourning her in white garnts with Qing Rouhen, bidding her farewell.
Mrs. Ying was deeply in love with her husband Hong Zhi. After his death, she thoroughly cared for and nurtured Qing Xun and Qing Rouhen, gentle and approachable, responsible and dedicated, yet tragically sched against by Hong Yuan, chose to end her life, inflicting a lifeti of pain on Qing Xun and Qing Rouhen.
Hong Zhi was buried in Yi Qing Mountain in the northwest of Bizhu Island, where the Zhulu family’s ancestral tomb, the Underground Palace, is located. Mrs. Ying’s body was sent to the Yi Qing Mountain Underground Palace to be buried together with Hong Zhi.
Hong Ji, Hong Yuan, and his wife’s bodies were burned to ash. Qing Xun gave Hong Ji’s ashes to his wife and daughter Qing Yang, and Hong Yuan and his wife’s ashes to Qing Yuan and Qing Xiang sisters.
In respect of the sa bloodline, Qing Xun did not kill the four won who aided them, only destroyed their Magic Source, making them ordinary people without magical powers, and exiling them to the northernmost island of Seven Pearl City, forbidding them to ever return to Bizhu Island.
This way, even with their discontent, they couldn’t stir up trouble, while Qing Xun would remain unchanged over several decades, and they would age and wither like ordinary people before finally passing away.
After Qin Sisi and Yun Wang helped with his mother’s funeral, Qing Xun began the preparations to punish those imprisoned in the dungeon, and at this mont, Yun Wang offered his resignation.
Initially, Yun Wang escorted Qin Sisi to Bizhu Island following Ye You’s orders, yet he was concerned about the situation at Taiyi Mountain Base, as his grandfather, brother, and all mbers of the Panhu family were gathered there. Eagerly, he wanted to return and check on them.
