You Were Summoned to the Capital for a Title, So Why Did You Slaughter Your Way Through the Imperial City?

Qin Lingfeng transmigrates into the role of the Prince of Beiliang. After helping the Great Zhou conquer thirty kingdoms, he is rewarded with the fate of being "too powerful for his own good."

The emperor sends him one golden edict after another. On the surface, he is being summoned back to the capital to receive a reward, but in truth, the emperor has murderous designs and intends to take Qin Lingfeng's fiancee as his consort.

The officials across the court wait eagerly to see him make a fool of himself. What can a crude borderland warrior do, after all? Turn the world upside down?

Qin Lingfeng says: You're right. I really am done serving this emperor!

The Mandate of Heaven Emperor System activates. From the start, he fuses with the Human Emperor's World-Subduing Art, his cultivation surges, and the Emperor Realm general Lu Bu pledges his allegiance to him!

What good are your golden edicts? What good is your imperial decree?

When the arrogant eunuch delivering the decree tells him to kneel and accept the emperor's grace, Qin Lingfeng sends him to his death with one slash.

"I will purge the emperor's entourage and execute the treacherous ministers. It seems the Great Zhou's throne needs a new occupant."

With his army at the city gates, the Xiao family still tries to bind him with a marriage agreement. Xiao Wanqin, ever haughty, declares, "Qin Lingfeng, my Xiao family is willing to help you ascend the throne, on the condition that you formally ask for my hand and honor the Xiao family as..."

Before she can finish, Qin Lingfeng waves a hand. "Zhang Liao, wipe out the Xiao family. Leave no one alive."

That day, Xiao Wanqin gazes at the sea of blood surrounding her family and finally understands: in this man's eyes, she was never someone he needed.
