Chapter 585: Acting Separately

Li Yi's act of finishing off Emperor Shenzong was like a thunderclap, shaking the world.

The first to receive the news was naturally the current Son of Heaven, Emperor Emperor Shenwu. After all, the three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards and twenty Golden Pupil Guards under his command had seen with their own eyes the process of Emperor Shenzong's destruction.

When Emperor Emperor Shenwu Li Li Jiye, who was in the Yongchang Hall, received this news, he was also very shocked.

Because this was not within the scope of the plan.

The move of destroying mountains and temples was itself taken in a hurry. At the beginning, he had absolutely no intention of relying on Li Yi alone and three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards to accomplish this matter. It was just that the powerful strength Li Yi displayed was truly beyond expectations, which let him see hope, hence he had been cooperating with the progress of the plan all along.

But no matter how the plan was made, finishing off the Yin Son of Heaven was not among them.

The Zhao Dynasty had existed for a thousand years, passing through twelve dynasties. Including himself, twelve emperors had enjoyed too much incense from the common people of the world. Even if this world had not derived other cultivation methods, in the face of such massive incense power, who knew what kind of monster would be gestated.

Once the strength of a certain Yin Son of Heaven in the Zhao Dynasty exceeded expectations, then whether it was Li Yi or himself, they would suffer liquidation and die without a burial place.

"This matter is still a bit rushed. As long as you and I are given another year, no, at most half a year, wait until we transform this massive incense faith power into strength, then this heaven and earth will no longer be able to shackle us. After all, those Yin Sons of Heaven do not understand cultivation and progress slowly, while we are the ones who can concurrently cultivate the incense method, advancing by leaps and bounds."

Emperor Emperor Shenwu Li Li Jiye frowned slightly at this moment, his expression revealing a bit of unease.

Having schemed so hard for so long, it was originally a sure thing to wait another half a year, but now some variables had arisen because of this, which was not a good thing.

But he also understood that many things, once started, were beyond his own control.

He believed that Li Yi definitely did not want to have a conflict with Emperor Shenzong, it was just that he passed by the Anshan region and was intercepted by Emperor Shenzong, having no choice but to engage in a great battle.

This was also fortunate that he won; if he had lost, that would be truly terrifying.

"The arrow has left the bow and cannot be recalled. Since we have already started fighting with the Yin Son of Heaven, then let's simply go all the way and solve this matter thoroughly. Since Li Yi can defeat Shenzong, it means that at least half of the Yin Sons of Heaven are no match for him. If you add me, there is still a chance of winning."

Subsequently, Emperor Emperor Shenwu Li Li Jiye's gaze gradually turned cold.

Now, discussing previous matters had no meaning; he must think of ways to deal with the trouble that was about to come.

With this thought.

This Emperor Emperor Shenwu immediately walked out of the Yongchang Hall and then issued an order.

"Convey Our imperial decree, summon all Golden Pupil Guards to wait for orders before the hall." He shouted slightly.

"Also summon the three consorts, De, Xian, and Xiang, to the Yongchang Hall."

Following the issuance of the imperial decrees, soon, dozens of Golden Pupil Guards gathered before the Yongchang Hall, along with three women of peerless beauty.

Not counting the three thousand Embroidered Uniform Guards and Black Mountain Lord who had already left the capital.

The people before his eyes were already the only manpower Emperor Emperor Shenwu had left. As for those ordinary armored soldiers, they were useless and not qualified to participate in such matters that could sway the world's situation.

Although there were fewer people, with the matter at hand, he had no choice but to do it.

"Paying respects to Your Majesty."

The three consorts and dozens of Golden Pupil Guards knelt down in unison at this moment.

Emperor Emperor Shenwu Li Li Jiye said calmly: "The only people I can use are you. Today, follow Me out of the capital to handle a major matter. After the matter is accomplished, I will pass on the immortal cultivation method to you, so you can remain youthful forever and live forever."

In this world, incense was not worth much, but the immortal cultivation method was a truly precious thing.

Although the immortal cultivation method Li Yi gave was incomplete, it was still a method that could be cultivated to the Tribulation Crossing Realm. If ordinary people could finish cultivating it, they could indeed live forever.

Under such heavy rewards, whether it was the Golden Pupil Guards or the three consorts of peerless beauty in front, all of them breathed heavily.

Is there truly a method to cultivate and become an immortal in this world?

They had cultivated the evolution method and already felt it was incredible; everyone had been reborn and benefited greatly.

If they could truly be rewarded with the immortal cultivation method, even if they had to risk their lives, they would have to fight for it.

"Your Majesty, can one truly become an immortal in this world?" The Consort De kneeling in front could not help but raise her head and ask.

"Of course."

Emperor Emperor Shenwu Li Li Jiye said very seriously: "However, this method is not tolerated by heaven and earth. The incense gods will absolutely not allow the existence of the immortal cultivation method. I have united with True Person Brother Tai Yi to destroy mountains and temples, precisely to spread the Dao to the world, so that everyone can cultivate immortality and everyone can be like a dragon."

At this moment, he drew a big picture, a big picture that could make all the monsters in the world stand on his side.

Therefore, he took out the immortal cultivation method without hesitation.

As for how to fulfill the promise after the matter was accomplished, that was a matter for later. After all, no matter what, he had to get through this hurdle first.

"I will give the world an explanation regarding the immortal cultivation method later. Now, you follow Me and leave the capital."

Subsequently, Emperor Emperor Shenwu Li Li Jiye shouted again, then his wide imperial robes rolled, magic power surged, and he actually carried dozens of people into the air, turning into a ray of escape light and galloping away in a certain direction at an extremely fast speed.

This method was not a Daoist technique, but a spell that came with the immortal cultivation method.

He combined the immortal cultivation method with the incense method and the evolution method, concurrently cultivating all three, merging them into one, and had already formed his own set of cultivation methods.

Moreover, as a monarch of a country, his incense faith power was incomparably massive. With the help of this incense, he could exert the power of his spells to the extreme. Added to the Son of Heaven's aura, it could be said that every move he made possessed the great power to shake rivers and mountains.

Leaving the capital this time, Li Li Jiye was not for any other matter, but only to execute the Yin Son of Heaven.

For every Yin Son of Heaven he killed here, Li Yi's pressure over there would be reduced by one part.

If the two of them acted fast enough, they could completely take advantage of the Yin Sons of Heaven not reacting and defeat them one by one.

However, at the same time, Li Yi and Xiang Xiang Xiangzi had already arrived at the place where the second Yin Son of Heaven was located according to the map.

This was a city, named Shouling City.

This city was built against a mountain, only to guard the imperial tomb of Emperor Guangzong of the Zhao Dynasty.

But after truly arriving here, they discovered that there was a kind of distorted prosperity in this Shouling City. The streets were full of people walking dogs and fighting birds, and sounds of music came from everywhere. The whole city was full of eating, drinking, and playing, and the common people did not engage in production at all.

Clearly, everything here was just to serve that Yin Son of Heaven.

"This Yin Son of Heaven called Guangzong was a monarch who liked eating, drinking, and playing during his lifetime. Although he could not be counted as a muddled monarch, he was definitely not a wise emperor. Such a mediocre person, even if he turned into a Yin Son of Heaven after death, his strength would definitely not be very strong. Killing him is not difficult."

Li Yi stood side by side with Xiang Xiang Xiangzi on golden auspicious clouds at this moment, sensing the city.

Soon.

He looked at a place in the city.

There was an aura of the Son of Heaven coiling there, and at the same time, there was a massive amount of incense aura permeating, and all of this originated from a middle-aged man who was fighting crickets. That middle-aged man was dressed simply and had changed his appearance, making it impossible for people to see that he was an emperor, only feeling that he was an ordinary commoner in the city.

"Having no great ambition is also a good thing, but as a Yin Son of Heaven, there are some things he cannot avoid." Li Yi's gaze subsequently turned cold, and killing intent gradually emerged.

!

Although he had no grudges or enmity with this Yin Son of Heaven, and they were even strangers.

But the status of the Yin Son of Heaven was placed here. It was just like his destroying mountains and temples. He had no grudges or enmity with the many incense gods in the world, but the struggle of the Great Dao was just this cruel.

Perhaps it was because he felt this killing intent.

The Yin Son of Heaven Guangzong, who was hiding in the city fighting crickets, suddenly became solemn. He raised his head and looked at the sky.

He saw a golden auspicious cloud floating in the high sky, motionless.

This auspicious cloud came abruptly, because today the sky was clear for ten thousand miles, and there was not a single cloud in all directions.

Instead, at this moment.

A cold voice echoed between heaven and earth: Overturning the River!

A terrifying Daoist technique operated.

This was the Art of Overturning Rivers and Seas from the Tianyi Sect of the Daoist world. At this moment, it was displayed through Xiang Xiang Xiangzi's hands. In just an instant, heaven and earth seemed to have been reversed. Guangzong, who was still fighting crickets in the city, had already arrived in the high sky in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm?" This Guangzong was full of confusion and astonishment at this moment.

He only liked eating, drinking, and playing on weekdays and knew nothing about cultivation. At this moment, he simply did not know what had happened.

"This Daoist is Brother Tai Yi. Today, I have come specially to send Emperor Guangzong on his way." Without waiting for this Yin Son of Heaven to come back to his senses, Li Yi clenched his fists, draped in silver lightning, holding the aura of the Dragon and Tiger, and walked over stepping on auspicious clouds.

"True Person Brother Tai Yi?" When Guangzong heard this name, he immediately reacted to what was going on. He did not understand fighting and killing, but he was also a person who had been an emperor.

"So that's how it is. You have destroyed mountains and temples and have actually fought to My Shouling City? I am, after all, the ancestor of the current Emperor Emperor Shenwu. If you kill Me, it will not be easy to account for in this world. Why not give Me some face, you two leave now, and let's pretend this matter never happened, how about that?"

Guangzong said with a sincere face.

He also smelled a crisis.

If the opponent did not have a sure chance of winning, how would they dare to move against a Yin Son of Heaven?

In other words.

The moment the enemy stood in front of him, he had already lost.

After all, there was no reason for a Son of Heaven to go to the battlefield to kill enemies.

"Even if this Daoist lets you go, the other Yin Sons of Heaven will not let this Daoist go. This principle, Guangzong, you should understand." Li Yi said very seriously.

Guangzong sighed: "This I naturally understand. If there is one less of Me, there is one less threat. If it were Me, I would also do this. However, although I have enjoyed incense for so many years, I really do not know how to fight and kill. Why not do this: leave Me one divine thought, I will disperse all My incense, and become an ordinary incense god, how about that?"

Li Yi frowned, but subsequently said: "If you can do it, this Daoist can spare your life."

His killing was only a means, not the goal. If the opponent was willing to disperse all their incense and only leave one divine thought, then it would not constitute any threat.

Even if they could recover with the help of incense power in the future, that was a matter for the future.

What Li Yi wanted to fight for was the present.

"I trust True Person Brother Tai Yi's words." Guangzong's gaze flickered. Although there was a little struggle, he finally sighed long and his body suddenly began to disintegrate.

The power of incense filling the sky drifted, and a strange fragrance shrouded a hundred miles.

And as time passed, his body became more and more dim. Finally, he truly only had one divine thought left, carrying a small portion of incense power, turning into an ordinary commoner, and falling into the city.

Seeing this, Li Yi had some strange colors.

He did not expect this Guangzong to actually do this, without a shred of hesitation.

Or was it that he had already anticipated the result, so he did not make any futile struggle, and used such a means to trade for a glimmer of survival for himself?

"I thought this Guangzong only knew how to eat, drink, and play. I did not expect him to be an emperor with courage and insight." Xiang Xiang Xiangzi on the side said: "Since he no longer constitutes a threat, then let it be."

"You are right. Let's go find the third Yin Son of Heaven." Li Yi took a look, stopped staying, and displayed the Art of Riding Clouds and Driving Mist to quickly leave this place.
