Chapter 136: I was just being polite, you really want to see

~19 min read 3,734 words

"I am already prepared, please start, Your Majesty," Mu Qingrou said, holding her precious sword with a serious face.

Facing Li Chen, she didn't dare to be careless.

At this moment, Mu Qingrou had already entered the supreme realm of "man and sword as one."

Her figure and the precious sword merged into one, like a sharp sword light, cutting through the void, omnipresent.

Sword Qi surged, making the surrounding air tremble.

Behind her, a huge phantom of a divine sword slowly emerged.

This phantom wasn't illusory, but condensed from the endless Sword Qi surging from Mu Qingrou's body, as if it had the power to open heaven and earth.

The tip of the divine sword phantom pointed directly at the firmament, and brilliant light flowed on the sword body. As long as she moved slightly, that divine sword phantom would slash down like a thunderbolt, turning all obstacles into powder.

This was the famous stunt of the Purple Cloud Sword Immortal of that year: "One Sword of Heaven and Earth!"

Starting with a "king bomb" was respect for Li Chen.

As long as Li Chen made a move, she would immediately bombard Li Chen!

The nearby elders also looked at Mu Qingrou with astonishment, because they knew this was one of Mu Qingrou's trump card skills.

No one who was hit by this move of Mu Qingrou had survived; it was a thorough killing move.

If this hurt His Majesty, what should they do?

But next, they knew they had thought too much.

The moment Li Chen drew his sword, heaven and earth moved!

The elder closest to him had a huge change in expression.

Even if Li Chen just made a casual move, she could perceive a big "DANGER" word on Li Chen's head.

The moment Li Chen completely erupted, the timidity in her heart instantly rose to the extreme.

This was also the first time Li Chen frantically activated his meridians, with visible divine power circling his body!

That Heavenly Dao divine power was enough to make heaven and earth perish!

All things in heaven and earth felt Li Chen's call and began to respond one after another.

In an instant, the entire Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion shook.

The sky was already covered with dark clouds, golden light washed through, and one could even see the phantom of a divine statue above the clouds!

As long as Li Chen waved his long sword, the power of the Heavenly Dao would pour down, destroying everything in the world!

The powerful air wave made many disciples fly out directly, like residual butterflies in the wind in this huge wave, falling dizzy and unable to find north.

Some even ran hundreds of meters away before stabilizing their figures.

Slightly stronger disciples had already begun to activate their magic treasures to protect their bodies, so as not to be blown away.

But the magic treasure protective shields they activated with all their strength were also being consumed rapidly under the energy air wave erupted by Li Chen, and they had to retreat.

Even those powerful elders, while shouting for the disciples to retreat, were also retreating themselves.

They weren't unable to withstand it; it was just unnecessary to withstand it, because this was just Li Chen's starting move. The one he released probably would be even stronger, so there was no need to get hurt just to join in the fun at close range.

Arriving at a safe place, these elders became more and more horrified the more they looked. This was still from a distance; if they were close, they simply didn't dare to imagine whether they would be torn into pieces by that powerful energy air wave in minutes.

They also couldn't experience what kind of pressure Mu Qingrou, who was in front of Li Chen, was under at this moment.

The air wave of Heavenly Dao Sword Qi wasn't something an ordinary person could withstand.

Li Chen knew Mu Qingrou wasn't an ordinary person. If he didn't beat her until she submitted, she couldn't be conquered.

Now, Li Chen had entered the state of "Heaven and Earth Only Me"; I am the Heavenly Dao!

He was holding a huge amount of energy in his body, wanting to vent it fiercely on Mu Qingrou.

If he didn't vent it, his body might be stifled.

Seeing that each other's state had reached its best, they both swung their Sword Qi at the same time!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, heaven and earth were overturned, the universe was reversed, the sun and moon were shattered, and the stars were extinguished!

Countless sword lights collided with each other, and the light erupted from the collision illuminated the firmament!

The array collapsed instantly, and the entire area appeared to shake violently!

It felt as if the space had collapsed. If anyone were standing nearby, they would definitely be torn into pieces by the Sword Qi instantly.

The "One Sword of Heaven and Earth" that Mu Qingrou had just erupted was slashed and extinguished by Li Chen's Heavenly Dao Sword Qi not long after!

At this moment, endless Sword Qi was pouring towards her.

Mu Qingrou hurriedly activated her remaining power to defend, but she was still suffering from the impact of Li Chen's Sword Qi.

She couldn't resist at all and could only grit her teeth and silently endure Li Chen's impact time and time again.

This Sword Qi was really too much and too fierce, making her almost roll her eyes and faint.

Seeing that it was almost enough, Li Chen then withdrew the Heavenly Dao Sword Qi, and Mu Qingrou was able to breathe.

And the mountain range behind her was blasted with a huge gap. All of Mu Qingrou's defensive equipment was shattered, including her clothes.

At this moment, she hadn't realized it yet. While her eyes revealed unprecedented shock, she also said: "Your Majesty's sword technique is truly heaven and earth as one, one realm higher than me. Admire, admire."

After saying this, she found that Li Chen didn't reply and was looking at her.

The elders nearby who were slowly recovering were also looking at her with astonishment.

This made Mu Qingrou very puzzled. Is there something dirty on my face?

The elders didn't seem willing to break this awkwardness, while Li Chen was appreciating.

Until a gust of wind blew, Mu Qingrou felt cool on her body, and when she looked down, she found: Ah? Where are my clothes!

She had been too invested in the fight just now, and even in realizing Li Chen's sword intent, she really didn't feel that her clothes had been destroyed by the Sword Qi and disappeared.

In other words, she was talking eloquently while naked in front of everyone?

Wouldn't that mean she had been seen through?

Thinking of this, she instantly blushed and quickly ran away from the scene.

As a female cultivator, she still had thin skin, and she didn't expect this kind of thing to happen.

After she left, Li Chen came to the side of an elder of the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion and said: "What should I do next?"

This elder had relatively strong strength, so she was nearby, and her status in the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion was very high.

She glanced at Li Chen and said: "Your Majesty, according to the rules, you saw the body of a female cultivator of our Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, so you should be responsible. But I think Your Majesty didn't do it on purpose, so you don't have to be responsible."

She felt that Li Chen's identity was too special, and besides, this sparring session was proposed by their own Mansion Master, which had nothing to do with Li Chen. Li Chen could choose not to be responsible.

Li Chen didn't think so. Didn't you find out I did it on purpose?

My Sword Qi could accurately tear Mu Qingrou's clothes to pieces without hurting her; wasn't this on purpose?

But no one could tell; everyone felt that Li Chen's strength was too powerful.

Li Chen had to say thoughtfully: "What if I can be responsible?"

This female elder pondered for a moment, revealed a knowing smile, and replied: "Your Majesty, then please come this way; I will take you to find the Mansion Master."

After Li Chen and the female elder left, a female disciple suddenly realized.

She said: "Ah! If I had known earlier, I would have taken mine off too!"

This sentence sounded a bit crazy, but it did make some sense.

If she were seen by Li Chen, wouldn't she be able to ask Li Chen to be responsible?

This guy was young and handsome, held a high position, and had extraordinary strength; marrying him would be a profit!

As soon as she said this, the female disciples nearby instantly became restless; this was indeed a way!

The Emperor was a Sage Realm expert even stronger than the Sect Master. Was there a second man like this in the world?

Thinking of this, some female disciples even began to take off their clothes.

This scene was naturally stopped by the elders. If they didn't stop it, when Li Chen came back, this place would probably be more exaggerated than a place of wind and moon.

A place of wind and moon at least required money to see, but here you didn't have to pay.

At the same time, in a quiet courtyard behind the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion.

According to the female elder's statement, this was where Mu Qingrou lived.

She had run here just after escaping, so she would definitely come here to change clothes.

The female elder was also a sensible person. She could hear from Li Chen's sentence that Li Chen was interested in their Mansion Master.

If it were someone else, the female elder might not help, but with Li Chen's conditions, she felt their Mansion Master wouldn't suffer a loss at all, and would even earn quite a bit.

So she intended to come over to help Li Chen bridge the gap and achieve this beautiful thing.

The female elder asked Li Chen to be patient and went to knock on Mu Qingrou's door herself.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

"Mansion Master, it's me. His Majesty has come to see if you are injured."

The female elder shouted softly at the door, telling Mu Qingrou the purpose of her coming.

Not long after, Mu Qingrou, who had changed her clothes, walked out.

It looked like she had returned to calm, and her face wasn't as red as just now, but some blushes could still be seen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. I'm fine, and I'm grateful for Your Majesty's move to give advice just now."

Mu Qingrou didn't intend to mention what just happened at all, seemingly wanting to brush it aside.

But Li Chen's goal was to come for her, so how could he brush it aside? So he glanced at the female elder.

The female elder immediately understood and said: "Mansion Master, just now your body was seen through..."

Before she could finish, Mu Qingrou immediately waved her hand to interrupt: "Hahaha, that just now was nothing. What era is it? Everyone is an adult. What's the big deal about being seen? If His Majesty wants to see, I can generously display it." She spoke very loudly, and her eyes dodged, seemingly pretending to be calm and avoiding this topic.

In her heart, she blamed the female elder even more: You really are bringing up the pot that isn't open.

Who knew Li Chen would immediately reply: "Is that so? I still want to see, then you generously display it."

Mu Qingrou: "..."

I was just being polite, you really want to see?

According to the normal process, shouldn't we apologize to each other, exchange pleasantries, and then not mention this topic again?

And which woman could accept being naked!

If Wu Nanzhi knew she thought this way, she would definitely say: You're only at this stage; when he was messing with me before, I could walk around naked!

Li Chen's reply was indeed unexpected, and the female elder even indicated that the Mansion Master could continue to display, don't mind her.

Mu Qingrou was a bit stupid. She looked at the female elder, as if saying: We are from the same sect, why are you helping others?

The female elder was also very helpless. Mansion Master, just submit. Anyway, you've already been seen through, and you're not suffering a loss.

If you really don't want to, I can do it for you.

But I'm a bit older, and His Majesty probably won't look at me.

If Li Chen knew what the female elder was thinking, he would definitely say: Actually, you can do it together.

After all, this female elder also had charm.

!

The main target now was still Mu Qingrou. As long as she was handled, others could come slowly.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let's talk about some serious business," Li Chen said, breaking the silence.

Mu Qingrou finally breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Please speak, Your Majesty."

Li Chen said seriously: "When are you going to report to the Imperial Palace?"

Mu Qingrou: "..."

This is the serious business you're talking about?

After talking for a long time, you're going around in circles again!

How could Mu Qingrou not hear that Li Chen wanted her to be a consort.

Reporting to the Imperial Palace must mean this; could it be that she was going to be a palace maid?

"Your Majesty, I remembered I have some things to do, I'll go first, you accompany His Majesty." Mu Qingrou ran away directly. Anyway, she couldn't win the argument, so she could only hide.

Now that things were developing too fast, Li Chen knew she needed some time to adapt, so he didn't force it.

After Mu Qingrou left, Li Chen came to the female elder's side, held her hand and said: "I'll leave this matter to you."

I don't know if Mu Qingrou was conquered, but this female elder had already fallen into Li Chen's affectionate eyes.

When asking someone to do things, the attitude naturally had to be good, and it was also for future development.

In order to let this female elder handle things well, Li Chen gifted his precious sword to the female elder.

This precious sword was a Heavenly-Grade treasure after Li Chen's refining. A precious sword that could withstand Li Chen's Sword Qi was no longer an ordinary item.

The female elder took the precious sword bestowed by Li Chen, and her hands were trembling.

As a sword cultivator, how could she not love a precious sword.

She touched the precious sword in her hand, felt the unparalleled texture, and it was the precious sword Li Chen had used. Her eyes were a bit blurry.

If she had already fallen just now, now she probably wouldn't refuse whatever Li Chen wanted her to do.

She really wanted to say this precious sword was too precious and she didn't have the fortune to enjoy it, but she loved it too much.

So she could only say: "Your Majesty, rest assured, leave this matter to me. Even if I have to tie her up, I will tie the Mansion Master to the Imperial Palace!"

Hearing her say this, Li Chen then left the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion with satisfaction.

After he left, the female elder immediately found Mu Qingrou.

In the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, there were only a few places she could hide. This elder was very familiar with her, so she could naturally find her.

Seeing that Li Chen didn't follow, Mu Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief and asked the female elder what was the matter.

The female elder began to constantly say good things about Li Chen, and also said that Mu Qingrou was not young anymore, and earnestly persuaded her that she should find someone to marry; she couldn't just accompany them and die here.

She said a lot, and she also knew Mu Qingrou very well. Every sentence was tearing open Mu Qingrou's defense line.

Just when Mu Qingrou was about to be persuaded, she suddenly saw the precious sword in the female elder's hand.

Eh, isn't this Li Chen's?

Now Mu Qingrou began to suddenly realize: "Good, so you took his things. I was wondering why you were turning your elbow outward!"

The female elder didn't hide it, indicating that Li Chen gave her this precious sword just to let her say a good word.

Doesn't that prove that Li Chen has taken a fancy to Mu Qingrou? And Li Chen is also a man who takes the initiative to be responsible. This kind of man is hard to find even with a lantern.

Perhaps because she was a bit irritable from being told, Mu Qingrou said: "Fine, fine, fine, I will consider it. Isn't it said that a peerless divine sword appeared in the Imperial Capital, named the Thousand Blade Sword? I just happen to want to go see it."

Women, they always need to find an excuse for themselves.

And as a sword cultivator, she indeed liked precious swords very much; this was understandable.

Mu Qingrou really wanted to visit the Hundred Refinement Gate to see how this weapon was forged.

If she could, she wanted to buy it, or exchange something for this weapon.

Because as long as they were sword cultivators from sects who had been to the Imperial Capital, they would all praise this divine weapon. 【153】 Seeing their own Mansion Master want to open up, the female elder also breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that their Sect Master had thought it through, the female Elder also breathed a sigh of relief.

Everything needs a first step. As long as the Mansion Master is willing to go to the Imperial Capital, then she will notify Li Chen at that time, which will be worthy of Li Chen's precious sword.

She knew Mu Qingrou had thin skin, so she decided to go with Mu Qingrou, but this decision was also walking into the tiger's mouth.

Leaving this place, the female elder went back to tell other elders about this matter, letting them prepare mentally, and they could also persuade the Mansion Master when necessary.

It could be said that Li Chen's precious sword was truly worth it.

The elders also roughly understood the matter; it was just to provide assists for Li Chen and their own Mansion Master.

However, an elder seemed to remember something and said: "Strange, doesn't our Mansion Master always hate men? Why would she go to the Imperial Capital?"

People nearby also seemed to remember this matter and began to discuss it one after another.

The female elder who got Li Chen's precious sword rolled her eyes at them and said: "Are you stupid? What the Mansion Master hates is men, not male gods!"

Everyone: "..."

Indeed, if you say it like that, we understand.

But then again, they were asking where Li Chen was.

The female elder was very puzzled and asked what they were doing looking for Li Chen.

They naturally intended to take off their clothes. Anyway, wouldn't Li Chen be responsible?

Female elder: "..."

You taking them off yourselves and being torn apart by Li Chen are two different things!

On the other side, Li Chen left the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, and this sect trip came to an end.

He had to return to the Imperial Capital first to understand what had happened recently, such as the war situation in the north, and urge Li Ran to find the five books quickly.

As for how the Crown Prince died, and the movements of the Prince of Zhennan and the Third Imperial Prince, Li Chen didn't care much.

Then go to the Purple Void Heaven Palace to see what the situation of the cultivators there was. If they were useful, recruit them; if they were useless, wipe them out. Li Chen didn't allow things that didn't listen to him to exist on his territory.

Originally he was only active in the Imperial Capital, so he only needed to manage the Imperial Capital. Now that the scope of activity was large, there were more things to manage.

The person busier than Li Chen was naturally Pang Jin, the Minister of Justice.

Pang Jin was unprecedentedly busy.

The Ministry of Justice already had a lot of work, and now the Crown Prince's case and the sect docking were thrown to him by Li Chen. He simply couldn't stop at all and was handling cases even in his dreams.

If it weren't for his lucky genius subordinate Xiao Ming helping him, Pang Jin would probably be exhausted to death.

Because in handling the Crown Prince's case, the clues Xiao Ming found were already many.

Then Pang Jin tried to throw the problem of sect docking to Xiao Ming, and as a result, Xiao Ming really had a way to solve it, which made Pang Jin look at him with admiration, and even felt that this kid had cognition and courage beyond his age.

Xiao Ming indicated that the problem wasn't big; he handled these very easily and hoped the Minister would give more tasks.

But his master felt the problem was big. Isn't this me helping you solve it? Why are you still actively taking on work? Are you trying to exhaust your master to death?

The Sage's remnant soul also dug a hole for himself. He let Xiao Ming go to the Ministry of Justice to work, but the one working was himself.

However, there was one point worth rejoicing, which was that this kid Xiao Ming's cultivation was about to break through to the Six Realms Realm.

Before long, Xiao Ming's position would also be promoted.

Recalling the large amount of time Xiao Ming wasted on Chu Ruoyan, the Sage's remnant soul felt that he should have done this long ago; even if he were tired, it was worth it!

Just two days after Li Chen returned, Eunuch Cui came to report that someone outside the palace gate was asking to see him, saying they were from the Spirit Flame Dao Sect.
