Chapter 938: Imperial Palace and Changes

Imperial Palace and Changes

Although Li Yi was not a person who liked to invite trouble, Hua Qing had, after all, spent many years with him and had even provided guidance on his cultivation. Now that he had already sent the other party back to the Imperial City, he might as well help him one last time.

Moreover, bearing the identity of a direct descendant of the Celestial God Royal Clan, he could indeed be bolder in his actions.

Li Yi was currently flying toward that Cyan-Gold Heaven-Reaching Tower.

However, before he even got close, some patrolling Heavenly Soldiers spotted him. Yet, upon seeing him, the expressions of this group of Heavenly Soldiers changed; they dared not intercept him, fearing they would be casually wiped out by the other party.

"Quick, go notify the Chi Tongling! A powerhouse has arrived." A Heavenly General, who was the captain of the group, immediately set off to fly over. While sending someone to report the news, he stepped forward to handle the situation himself.

"I am Mo Sha, Captain of the Emperor Hua Qing Imperial City Guard. May I ask what brings this young master to our city?" This Heavenly General named Mo Sha was exceptionally respectful.

Although he was a Heavenly General, he understood that the other party definitely came from a powerful clan in the Celestial Realm. He just didn't know why they were traveling here, but regardless, he could not afford to offend them.

"I am Tai Yi of the Celestial God Clan. I wish to see your Heavenly Kings, Qing Lan and Ying Yi. Are they currently present?" Li Yi asked, getting straight to the point.

The Celestial God Clan? Mo Sha felt a chill in his heart. He knew of this race because he had also traveled on World Ships; he was very clear about the power of the Celestial God Clan, and with a Heavenly Venerable presiding over them, they were renowned throughout the Celestial Realm.

"Our Commanders have not been in this area for some time. Young Master of the Celestial God Clan, could you perhaps return another day?" Mo Sha thought for a moment and replied.

He felt that this person did not come with good intentions, so it was better to find an excuse to put him off for now.

Furthermore, at this point in time, a major event was occurring within the Imperial City; having someone from the Celestial God Clan arrive here was not good news.

Li Yi's gaze shifted: "So, both Heavenly Kings Qing Lan and Ying Yi are still alive? Very well. Give them one hour to come out and meet me. Once the time is up, if they still do not appear, then I shall take away the Heaven-Reaching Tower."

At this moment, he transformed into an overbearing, spoiled disciple, adopting the demeanor of a young playboy, threatening the Heavenly Kings right from the start.

Although it was a case of "the dog acting on the master's authority," this feeling was truly good.

When out in the world, one relies on status and background. Are Heavenly Kings good at fighting? Being good at fighting is useless; if they have the ability, let them go talk to the God Emperors of the Celestial God Clan.

As soon as these words were spoken.

Mo Sha's expression changed instantly, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say. If he rebuked him, would it anger the other party?

If he did nothing, what if the other party really forcibly took the Heaven-Reaching Tower after an hour? What then? Now, he only hoped the Commanders would appear quickly and not leave them, the subordinates, in such a difficult position.

"How bold! Even someone from the Celestial God Clan cannot bully people like this. Do you really think my Imperial City has no one?"

However, at this moment, a sudden shout rang out.

Just then, the gate of the Heaven-Reaching Tower opened, and a young cultivator led a group of Heavenly Generals rushing out. They were fully armed, murderous, and ready for battle.

Li Yi stared at the young cultivator for a moment: "Who are you?"

This young man had somewhat weak strength, only possessing the combat power of a Heavenly Soldier, but he was very young and appeared to have a high status. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the qualifications to command this group of Heavenly Generals.

"Who I am is not important. If you have come to the Imperial City for sightseeing, I welcome you. If you have come to cause trouble, my Imperial City Guard is not to be trifled with. If a real conflict breaks out, it won't be good for anyone. Even if you are from the Celestial God Clan, this place is far away, and if something were to happen, your clan probably wouldn't even know."

The young man said coldly.

"Not very old, but quite a big mouth. A mere Heavenly Soldier dares to be disrespectful to me? I'll give you a lesson so you know how high the sky is." Li Yi didn't say another word; he just took a step forward, and his figure instantly vanished from where he stood.

"Young Master Ming De, be careful!" Several Heavenly Generals nearby reacted immediately, rushing to shield him.

But the next moment, a fist light divided into five colors, striking horizontally like a mountain. A full five Heavenly Generals joined forces to try and block this strike, but the moment they collided with the fist light, their expressions changed drastically.

It looked like a light, airy punch, but once they actually received it, they could feel its terrifying and overbearing power; it was nothing like the combat power a Heavenly Soldier should possess.

Boom! Under the surge of divine power, the five Heavenly Generals were immediately sent flying. Some even spat out a mouthful of blood, suffering significant injuries instantly.

"Too weak. You are all too weak. You can't even take a single strike from me." Li Yi looked down from above, overlooking the few of them. He shook his head slightly, feeling quite bored.

Since he had recultivated the Mysterious Gate and refined the God Blood, his combat power within the Heavenly General Realm was no longer ordinary. Unless the opponent had reached the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Realm, they had no qualifications to fight him; otherwise, they would be defeated instantly.

"Is this the combat power of the Celestial God Clan? Both are Heavenly Generals, yet he can actually take on five..." The other Heavenly Generals who hadn't moved yet were shocked.

Although they knew that in the Celestial Realm, powerful races had extraordinary bloodlines and astonishing combat power within the same realm, which ordinary people couldn't match, they hadn't expected the gap to be this large.

"It seems the Heavenly Generals under your command cannot protect you. Come here." Li Yi shouted, reaching out and grabbing through the air. It was like a True Dragon extending its sharp claws—an overbearing method that even Heavenly Generals couldn't guard against.

The young man was so scared his face turned pale.

He hadn't expected the Imperial City Guard he relied on to be so vulnerable.

But just at this moment.

Suddenly, a surge of Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang power bloomed from the Cyan-Gold Heaven-Reaching Tower behind him. Subsequently, this Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang power shielded the young man, stopping Li Yi's action.

"A Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang?" The Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Han Shan behind him immediately narrowed her eyes. If a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang made a move, she would not be polite; she would definitely strike to kill the enemy.

Perhaps it was precisely because they knew Li Yi had a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang-level guard behind him that the Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang in the Heaven-Reaching Tower did not do anything to Li Yi, but instead appeared immediately, attempting to resolve this conflict.

"Your Excellency, as a member of the Celestial God Royal Clan, you possess a noble status and are a heaven-gifted figure destined to become a Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang. Why make things difficult for a small soldier in this remote, desolate place?"

At this time, a woman's voice rang out. She stared at Li Yi, but was even more wary of Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Han Shan.

A Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang of the Celestial God Clan possessed extraordinary combat power; it was not someone she could defeat.

Li Yi said: "May I ask the name of this Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang?"

"Weren't you just looking for me? I am Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Qing Lan of Emperor Hua Qing Imperial City." The woman revealed her true form; she was a pure and beautiful woman.

But in her eyes, there was always a hint of sharpness.

"Mother." Following this, the young man called out, as if he had found his reliance, and instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mother.

Li Yi's expression became strange: "This kid who doesn't know the height of the sky, is he your son?"

"He is indeed my son." Qing Lan said.

Li Yi was just about to speak.

At this moment, Hua Qing, who was residing within his body, suddenly wailed: "Beast! What a beast! This old man only reincarnated and recultivated for a period of time, and upon returning, this slut Qing Lan actually even has a child."

"How dare she betray this old man like this? I treated her well, I treated her well! Thinking back, she was just an ordinary human cultivator. It was this old man who, considering her cultivation was not easy and seeing her sincerity and loyalty, kept her by my side as a concubine, taught her cultivation, and gifted her a King-level weapon. And look, how long has it been..."

Hua Qing felt a deep sense of betrayal; he was so angry he felt like vomiting blood.

"Hua Lü, don't be sad. Look at it more openly. You've been dead for so many years; it's quite normal for others to remarry. You can't expect others to remain chaste widows for you for a lifetime." Li Yi comforted him.

"Kill her! Kill her! This old man wants to kill her!" Hua Qing was still roaring and howling, venting the anger in his heart.

Li Yi said: "Hua Lü, don't be in such a rush to explode. Don't you want to know who your concubine had this child with? At least you should find out who the adulterer is, so you can take revenge in the future, right?"

"That makes sense. This old man wants to kill this slut, and I also want to kill that adulterer. I want revenge! Revenge!" Hua Qing was now obsessed.

He had thought that Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Qing Lan might have been unable to manage the Imperial City for some reason, or perhaps she had suffered a great disaster and was forced to leave the Imperial City, or he had even thought she might be dead.

He hadn't expected Qing Lan to have completely and utterly betrayed him.

Didn't the people in the Imperial City know that she was the concubine of Emperor Hua Qing?

Who had the audacity to lay a finger on an Imperial Concubine?

For a time, various possibilities surfaced in Hua Qing's mind, but he really couldn't figure it out, because Emperors of the same realm wouldn't be so bored as to steal someone else's wife or concubine.

And if some enemies wanted to do this, they wouldn't have left Qing Lan in the Imperial City; they would have definitely kidnapped her and tortured her in every way.

But no matter how Hua Qing wailed, in his current state, he couldn't do anything.

"Your Excellency, as a member of the Celestial God Clan, having traveled from afar, could it be that you are also here for the matter of the Imperial Palace? If you are here for this, there is no need to resort to such drastic measures. You only need to tell me, and I am willing to let you participate." Seeing Li Yi silent, Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Qing Lan thought she had angered the other party and immediately spoke up, actively compromising.

"Imperial Palace? Is it the Emperor Hua Qing Imperial Palace?" Li Yi asked, his expression shifting.

"Exactly." Qing Lan said: "There were ninety-nine Imperial Palaces in total. Because the Great Emperor was not present, ninety of them have already been taken away by the Empress. The subsequent eight Imperial Palaces were also breached for various reasons, and the treasures inside were all divided up. Now, only the last Imperial Palace remains, and it will be breached in a few days."

"As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, you will naturally be able to get a share of this last Imperial Palace."

Li Yi narrowed his eyes and said: "I once heard someone mention that you, Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Qing Lan, were once an Imperial Concubine. With Great Emperor Hua Qing gone, doing this is not very righteous."

"The Great Emperor is dead; I naturally have to find another way out. Moreover, this is my private matter. Does the Celestial God Clan want to manage this too?" Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Qing Lan's attitude changed, becoming somewhat stern.

It seemed the status of Imperial Concubine was her reverse scale, and she did not want it to be touched.

If anyone else dared to bring it up to her face, she would definitely kill them.

But she really couldn't afford to offend the Celestial God Royal Clan member before her; even if the Great Emperor were still alive, he would have to be somewhat polite when facing this person.

"Haha, since Rakshasa Rakshasa Tian Wang Qing Lan is so sincere, then today's matter is dropped. However, I am quite interested in the Imperial Palace matter. I hope you won't disappoint me when the time comes." Li Yi said with a smile.

Qing Lan said: "Twenty days from now, the last Imperial Palace will open. This is a secret, and not many people know about it. Please keep it confidential, because for every extra person who knows, there is an extra share of competition. Of course, you must also have the courage to do so. Although you have extraordinary potential, breaking into the Imperial Palace with only the status of a Heavenly General is a very dangerous thing. If any accidents happen, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Don't trouble yourself." Li Yi finished: "Then let's meet again in twenty days."

He had already learned some information and did not linger. It was time to ask Hua Qing about the Imperial Palace.
