Chapter 546: Li Er: You Can

"Then may I ask what is your intent in coming here?"

"I think you're a terrible emperor—I'll take the Jiangshan myself!" Li Shimin said bluntly, with no pretense whatsoever.

When he spoke, not only Yang Guang was stunned.

Even all the ministers in Jiangdu were stunned.

Others who seize the Jiangshan always spout a long list of noble excuses—basically, I act in accordance with Heaven's will, while you defy it…

Li Shimin didn't even pretend—he left these aristocratic clans and Yang Guang utterly bewildered.

That's not right—why won't you play by the usual tricks?

"Bring in the troops! Take control of everyone here. Resist, and be executed on the spot."

Li Shimin gave no explanation—he issued an order, and two Land Immortal-level soldiers descended to the ground, waving their hands, true qi forming chains that restrained everyone present.

Even the formidable head of the Yuwen clan, despite channeling Ice Mystic Force and struggling fiercely until his face turned purple, could not break free—he could only submit.

"So strong."

"Are these people warriors who shattered the void and returned from another realm?"

"But that's impossible. Were there really so many void-shattering masters in ancient times? From what Li Shimin said, he's clearly from another world."

In Jiangcheng, many martial artists looked up at the figures in the sky, their expressions changing drastically, quickly using all means to transmit messages.

Li Shimin saw this but did not stop them.

Before overwhelming might, all conspiracies would crumble.

With a wave of his hand, the many Land Immortal-level soldiers dispersed, heading to every corner of the realm.

Outside a great city, Zhu Can was assaulting the walls, a cruel smile on his face.

"Brothers, once we take the city, I'll treat you to three days of feasting!"

"Good!"

The soldiers below stared with hungry eyes at the defenders on the walls, as if they were salted, cured meat.

In truth, Zhu Can's soldiers had all eaten human flesh.

Zhu Can, the infamous cannibal king in history, called himself the Garuda King.

"Cannibal Zhu Can—deserves death!"

At that moment, a cold voice rang down from the sky.

The next instant, boundless qi radiance fell, and Zhu Can's tens of thousands of cannibal demons were instantly reduced to pulp, staining miles of land red.

The soldiers on the walls, seeing the heavenly troops descending on clouds, had no will to resist—they immediately dropped their weapons and knelt to surrender the city.

"The Lanling Xiang clan—trafficking people—deserves death!"

The superhuman army's efficiency was unprecedented; within half a day, all rebel kings within Tang territory had either surrendered or been killed—all land fell into Li Shimin's hands.

As for the aristocratic clans, they were ordered to be raided, their members escorted to Jiangdu.

Chat group.

Su Xiao: "Damn, Li Er, you didn't even spare the Li clan?"

Xiao Mai: "Li Er: Today I'll show you all how I kill myself."

Li Shimin: "I never said I'd kill them. I just arrested them—waiting for judgment."

Asuna: "The efficiency here is way faster than in the late Ming."

Hu Yifei: "Laughing so hard—most of the Tang Jiangshan was won by Qin Wang. He's doing it again—he knows it all by heart, of course it's fast."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "This is just practice—it doesn't count as skill."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "If you put me back in the late Yuan and let me fight again, I'd finish it just as fast. I know every faction's position and troop deployment—I just need to give orders."

Li Shimin: "That's true. I know the late Sui situation inside and out."

Li Shimin: "Alright, let me interrogate the Li clan."

Ye Hei: "Li Yuan: Heard you're going to interrogate me?"

Zhang Junbao: "Li Shimin: Don't treat Li Er like he's not Li Er!"

Li Shimin: "..."
