My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 541: The Worlds-Cleaning Plan
As Su Hua enjoyed his triumph, Sima Qin, who was standing behind the two men, also smiled. He understood that Su Hua wanted Zhang Qingwei to join the Lanyan Royal School soon so he could lighten his own load. Moreover, the students of Jixia Academy were generally excellent. Once they officially joined Lanyan Royal School, it would inspire some of the school's existing students to push themselves harder.
When that happened, the students of Lanyan Royal School would voluntarily work harder, which would make Su Hua's job as a teacher much easier. Additionally, the more the school thrived, the more talent it could send to Jing Nation. This meant Sima Qin, the Great Chancellor, would have even more capable subordinates at his disposal.
Sima Qin knew that the bond between Su Hua and Zhang Qingwei, as fellow disciples, was deep, and he was also aware that they both enjoyed competing against each other. With them together daily, there would be countless opportunities for rivalry.
"Let them compete!"
"The more intense their rivalry, the happier I'll be," Sima Qin thought, stroking his beard with an expression of confidence.
Across from the three men, Mu Yuyan smiled as she watched Lanyan Royal School flourish. The more prosperous the Earthly Realm became, the faster the development of the Immortal Realm would be. Once the Earthly Realm was completely stable, she would need to head to the Immortal Realm as well. After all, she now bore the Snow Clan's legacy, and only by training in the Snow Clan's ancestral grounds could she maximize her cultivation.
Now that Gu Lan had passed the Heavenly Tribulation, she couldn't afford to fall too far behind.
"Darling, I will catch up to you!"
...
In the Immortal Realm's Ninth Heaven, Chengtian World was originally ruled by the Bright Clan. Since the Bright Clan's Divine Son had broken through to the God Realm, no other forces had been able to take root there.
Now, the Holy Heaven Hall, the Bright Clan's sacred land, had become a forbidden topic for all cultivators in Chengtian World. Ever since the hall was established, surrounding forces had been gradually swallowed up. Their choices were either to merge voluntarily with the Bright Clan, sending their disciples to undergo the angelic transformation, or face annihilation.
The Bright Clan, being the strongest of the Immortal Realm's seven great Houses, was already superior to the other clans. Now, they were ready to fully enact their grand plan: the Worlds-Cleaning Plan. The Bright Clan intended to control the Six Realms by creating angels—a notion that had been evident for some time. Not only were the forces within Chengtian World aware of it, but even the other clans of the seven great Houses knew.
It was this fear of the Bright Clan that kept the other clans in check. Even with intense competition and deep-seated conflicts, none of them dared to use Divine Realm-level power, as they sought to avoid the potential calamity of total annihilation. Now that the Bright Clan's Divine Son had ascended to the God Realm, the other clans were even more cautious.
Their caution, however, only emboldened the Bright Clan. The Worlds-Cleaning Plan was already underway, and Chengtian World was about to fall.
In Chengtian World, Cloudy Sky City was the largest remaining force aside from the Bright Clan. The City Lord, Luo Ying, was a renowned Main God Realm expert. Cloudy Sky City wasn't a sect-based power; its strength came from independent cultivators from all over, drawn together by Luo Ying's powerful personal charisma.
Now that most of the other forces had either been destroyed or had submitted to the Bright Clan, Cloudy Sky City was one of the few remaining powers, gathering the remnants of other forces and growing stronger than ever—yet also facing unprecedented danger. Soon, the Bright Clan's angelic army would be at Cloudy Sky City's gates.
At this moment, in the city's iconic Sky-Slaying Sword Stone, City Lord Luo Ying, dressed in battle armor, was conducting a war simulation. Nearby stood several of Cloudy Sky City's generals, all formidable Divine Realm Supremes.
They had been conducting battle simulations for days, but the result was always the same: defeat.
"There's simply no chance of victory!"
"I'm heading out right now to fight those bastards!" One hot-tempered Divine Realm general threw down his war chess piece and was about to use his qi to leave, but before he could activate his energy, he was locked in place by a powerful aura. Turning around, he met the calm gaze of Luo Ying.
"You joined Cloudy Sky City. You need to think about the people of this city and follow my orders. Don't act impulsively."
"Never say such things again."
Luo Ying withdrew her aura and used object-controlling techniques to move the fallen chess piece into her hand. She placed it back on the board, but the situation in Cloudy Sky City remained perilous, with no sign of change.
Yet even in such dire straits, none of them saw the slightest fear or despair in Luo Ying's eyes. This was Luo Ying—the extraordinary woman who had refused to marry the Bright Clan's Divine Son. In addition to her exceptional talent, Luo Ying possessed both unrivaled beauty and brilliance, and her determination was unparalleled.
Many of those present had joined her because of her strong personal charisma, and not a few of them were her admirers.
Suddenly, someone reported:
"Message!"
With a wave of her hand, Luo Ying sent a command token flying onto the Sky-Slaying Sword Stone. The token emitted a beam of spiritual light, transforming into a figure that began to deliver a report:
"City Lord, both the Fire Clan and Thunder Clan have refused our request for aid."
"The Ghost Clan and Beast Clan did not reject us, but they expressed reluctance to oppose the Bright Clan, offering only material support."
"The Cloud Clan has shut its gates, and I was unable to contact them."
With this news, the faces of those gathered darkened even further. Still no hope. At this point, no force dared stand against the God Clan. Even the seven great Houses, despite their ongoing cooperation, didn't dare face the Bright Clan directly.
"I understand. Thank you for your efforts. Return soon; Cloudy Sky City still needs you!" Luo Ying's expression remained unchanged, showing no hint of disappointment despite the bad news.
The messenger bowed to Luo Ying and gradually faded away.
"City Lord, if there's really no other option, maybe we should join the Bright Clan," someone suggested cautiously.
"I've heard that as long as one's cultivation reaches the Saint Stage, becoming an angel doesn't greatly affect one's personality. We'd still be ourselves and might even grow stronger. If that's the case, then why not..."
But before he could finish, the others angrily interrupted him.
"Shut up, you coward!"

"Joining the Bright Clan means becoming slaves to those bastards!"
"If you want to be a slave, fine, but I sure don't! And don't forget, those bastards demand that if we surrender, the City Lord must agree to become a dual cultivation furnace for the Bright Clan's Divine Son. Damn you for even suggesting that!"
The hot-tempered general cursed loudly, ready to teach the man a lesson, but before he could act, a new figure suddenly appeared in the hall.
"Who would've thought that even at a time like this, Cloudy Sky City is still squabbling internally? My master sent me to help you, but it seems I've come at the wrong time."
Everyone turned to see a handsome young man with a sword box on his back.
Luo Ying looked at the youth and asked, "You must be Chen Feng?"
