Chapter 146: Those who are ugly can only report in the next life

With Li Chen's identity revealed, Yiyu, who was kneeling beside him, was shocked beyond words and wished he could slap himself.

He himself is of the ancient royal family, in a remote place, with powerful bloodline and noble status, and his ancestors also had emperors, making countless people envious.

But what is this? He is the current Emperor, and the bloodline of this dynasty respects him; he is the absolute core of bloodline theory.

To put it ugly, the blood on Yiyu's body, perhaps not as noble as Li Chen's saliva.

To put it nicely, sticking gold on his own face, he only says he is the ancient royal family; to put it ugly, isn't that a fallen family?

Lin Xun of the ancient sect is indeed arrogant; he has no bloodline theory and doesn't care whether the opponent is the royal family.

The reason he knelt here is just because Li Chen is in the Sage Realm, and he has no way.

If he doesn't kneel, isn't that a provocation?

The opponent is undoubtedly in the Sage Realm, and his face still hurts from that slap just now.

It can also be said that he and Yiyu had nothing to do, and found the strongest and highest-status one among the melon-eating crowd to fight.

"All get up, today I am just patrolling in disguise." After they knelt almost enough, Li Chen let them get up.

The Wu family head and Wu Wu Laoyezi Wu invited Li Chen to the upper seat from left to right.

The Wu family head indicated that he didn't know the Emperor had arrived, and missed the welcome, hoping the Emperor would forgive him!

Wu Wu Laoyezi Wu also indicated that the Emperor could come to the Wu family, which simply made the Wu family shine!

If this were said to others, it would be polite words.

But facing Li Chen, they said it sincerely.

Even if Li Chen said he was patrolling in disguise, they still had to express their apologies; this is etiquette.

You can't let the Emperor say he is patrolling in disguise, and you dare to call the Emperor brother.

Don't know who spread that the Emperor arrived at Huju City and was at the Wu family.

The whole Huju City was boiling, and the Wu family was surrounded by people, who wanted to go in and admire the Emperor's Holy Face.

If it weren't for the Prefect and Lin Chengjian rushing to mobilize people, the Wu family wouldn't be able to stop so many people at all.

Just when all the people wanted to enter the Wu family, two people took their subordinates and left the Wu family, namely Lin Xun and Yiyu.

Although they were afraid of Li Chen, the Emperor, it didn't mean they sincerely surrendered.

As geniuses of the world, they were in the process of developing, and didn't expect to be poisoned by the strongest boss in the world.

In their view, this was too unreasonable.

Lin Xun and Yiyu looked at each other, thinking, wait until I develop well and come back!

At this moment, their goal was very clear; the biggest danger on their path to ascension was undoubtedly the Emperor of the Tian Ce Dynasty, Li Chen.

When the Heavenly Opening Gate opens, Li Chen will certainly appear again.

Thinking of this, they ignited their fighting spirit!

In the Wu family main hall, after Li Chen revealed his identity, the guests were all trying hard to come and chat.

He felt a bit troublesome, so he called the Prefect Yu Kai and the Lin Chengjian Zhao Jichuan to report on work.

To put it bluntly, it was to let them block it.

Yu Kai and Zhao Jichuan were officials sent by the Tian Ce Dynasty, and naturally they were also Li Chen's subordinates.

Generally, officials of this level would more or less meet the Emperor in the Imperial Capital when they took office.

But they had been officials for many years, and when they met the Emperor, they saw the late emperor; this was the first time they saw the current Emperor.

Li Chen's superior aura was fully displayed, and they were only serious in reporting.

Actually, no one was more afraid than them at the scene; if the report was not true, or Li Chen was not satisfied, they would lose their official hats.

Seeing that they couldn't curry favor with Li Chen, the people around went to congratulate the Wu family head and Wu Wu Laoyezi Wu.

This family banquet could let the Emperor come in person, which was enough to show that the Wu family's status in the Tian Ce Dynasty would go up a level.

Especially after learning that Wu Nanzhi was the Emperor's concubine, it was a double happiness, and everyone was envious of the Wu family.

There were many pursuers of Wu Nanzhi at the scene, and the purpose of coming this time was just to hear that Wu Nanzhi was coming, so they wanted to come and curry favor with her.

But hearing that Wu Nanzhi already had a man, and this man was the Emperor.

These lick-dogs were angry.

What, Wu Nanzhi is a concubine? Does she deserve it!?

Fortunately, Wu Nanzhi didn't know their thoughts, otherwise she would have the heart to stab them.

Wu Nanzhi kept her promise this time and cooked personally, making many six-armed bear paws for Li Chen, which was authentic and indeed fresher and juicier than the one in the Imperial Capital.

Don't look at Wu Nanzhi's lack of cultivation, but her cooking skills were full.

After receiving Li Chen's praise, Wu Nanzhi was also satisfied.

Learning that Li Chen liked to eat delicacies, the Wu family head also indicated that whatever wild game Li Chen wanted to eat, he would immediately go out of the city to catch it, ensuring it was fresh.

After the evening banquet, in the backyard of the Wu family, only Li Chen and Wu Wu Laoyezi Wu were here.

Wu Wu Laoyezi Wu respectfully indicated that he would follow Li Chen's lead in the future and listen to Li Chen's orders.

This made Li Chen a bit embarrassed; he just came out for a stroll, not only collected a concubine, but also obtained the surrender of a Sage Realm powerhouse, and also ate a lot of local delicacies.

It was simply eating and taking, and the most important thing was that he started empty-handed.

However, he didn't refuse this kind of good thing, so Li Chen said: "I understand your sincerity, the glory of the Tian Ce Dynasty is with you."

After speaking, Li Chen asked Wu Wu Laoyezi Wu to take out the weapon he was used to using.

Wu Wu Laoyezi Wu took out his saber, a rare sharp weapon.

This saber was forged from the interweaving of extraterrestrial meteorite iron and thousand-year cold iron, and it is said to be made by a master of the era.

Li Chen nodded, and then urged the cultivation technique to refine it instantly.

In an instant, a faint golden tiger pattern flowed on the blade, as if a sleeping fierce tiger was hiding in it, waiting for the moment of awakening.

A terrifying aura began to spread around. 【146-61

After the envoys from other countries received the rewards and went back, they would also bring tribute as return gifts next time.

But the Northern Royal Court did not increase but decreased, casually bringing some things to pay tribute, just waiting for rewards.

That emperor was also fond of face and prepared a little for them, more or less.

At first, it was just gifting some gold, silver, and jewelry, which was harmless.

Later, the envoys of the Northern Royal Court naturally became brazen; sometimes feeling it was too little, they actually opened their mouths to ask for more.

The reason was also simple, saying that the more Your Majesty gave, the more it showed the prosperity of the Tian Ce Dynasty.

That emperor who loved face naturally gave it.

Li Chen didn't even want to name who it was.

Subsequently, it developed into the Royal Court envoys simply coming empty-handed and returning fully loaded.

If one day at court, Altai and Atade brought a lot of tribute to pay respects to Li Chen, Li Chen would not have spoken so definitively.

These two fellows actually came empty-handed and opened their mouths to ask; you've been given face, haven't you?

Li Chen would not indulge them.

Only later did it appear that the Northern Royal Court Khan didn't even feel angry because Li Chen refused the marriage alliance, and the declaration of war had already been sent to his face.

Only then did he realize that he had awakened a sleeping dragon.

"I am curious about one thing, how old is the Khan of the Snow Eagle Royal Court?" Li Chen considered this question only after seeing one of the two gifts.

"Replying to Your Majesty, the Khan is in his early twenties and also just took office not long ago. He received the blessing of the Snow Leopard God and possesses extraordinary power, known as the 'Undying Tengli.' However, Your Majesty is divine and peerless, so he is still far behind." Huyan Lan replied immediately, and by the way, learned how to flatter.

Tengli in the north means "Messenger of God," and the Snow Leopard God is the Holy Beast that guards the Great Snowy Mountains.

Being able to receive the favor of the Snow Leopard God, he could naturally become the Khan.

No one knew how strong this young Khan's strength was, but being able to receive the blessing of the Snow Leopard God meant he could use the power of God, so his cultivation base would certainly not be low.

Not only the Khan, but many warriors of the Snow Eagle Royal Court possessed the power of God, which was the main reason for their rise.

It seemed the Khan was still very young; Li Chen could understand why his mother also looked so charming.

If the young Khan were to curse at Li Chen, and Li Chen said that dirty word, it would truly be a jab.

"Fine, I accept your sincerity; go to the border area and wait for my orders." Li Chen had already recruited him into his command.

"Your servant obeys the decree." Huyan Lan finally succeeded in taking a side, feeling that all this effort was worth it.

After he left, Li Chen glanced at these two alluring gifts and had the Head Palace Maid take them away and hand them over to the Empress Dowager; the Empress Dowager should know how to handle them. That is, to keep them under house arrest; the Imperial Palace had a special set of procedures.

Li Chen felt that Huyan Lan's words could not be fully trusted; what if this fellow was learning from "Yao Li," playing a bitter-meat scheme, and then did something to these two women? Wouldn't he become a stepping stone for others to leave a name for eternity?

Li Chen did not want to die as unclearly as the late emperor, with no way to investigate.

These two gifts would be kept for now; wait until the "Imperial Dragon Holy Scripture" was complete before talking.

As for Huyan Lan, Li Chen believed Guo Poyun would know how to use him better than he did.

Li Chen had also read the northern battle reports; Guo Poyun did not like fearless sacrifice.

Therefore, he did not directly launch a fierce attack on the large city where the Ice Bear Tribe was located; that large city gathered the elites of the northern tribes, relying on the weight of the city walls for defense.

After the northern tribes were beaten into fear, they also learned their lesson and began to build cities, cultivate heavy infantry, and their defensive power was very strong.

But Guo Poyun also learned; while besieging the capital of the Ice Bear Tribe, he sent young generals like Xu Zifeng and Liu Hao to lead cavalry to bypass it, using the method of fighting to support fighting to attack other tribes with weaker defenses.

Isn't this the tactic the Northern Royal Court used to harass the Tian Ce Dynasty before?

Now that the offense and defense have changed, then do it in reverse.

!

I don't know if it was Guo Poyun's tactics that worked, or Xu Zifeng's luck and strength; Xu Zifeng almost fought all the way to Snow Eagle Ridge.

However, his army was small at the time, and the defenses at Snow Eagle Ridge were strict, so he just passed by without taking action.

As for why Xu Zifeng fought so fast, it was because the Marquis of Zhaoyuan, Peng Zhao, had stayed in the north for a full four years, and the new map he drew marked many terrains very clearly.

This led to the northern soldiers not needing to scout the path at all; they just followed it.

Coupled with Xu Zifeng's very high military talent points and the help of Ma Hei, it was simply like a fish in water.

The most outrageous thing was that when Xu Zifeng was conquering the north, he specifically went to "check in" at the place mentioned by his cellmate Atade.

In any case, he had already led the army deep into the hinterland and had lost contact with the main army camp; such generals could make their own judgments, and everyone didn't know what he wanted to do.

Liu Hao, as a young general, had a deputy general sent by his father as a helper, and was also steadily conquering.

Here he encountered Altai; back in the Imperial Capital, the two of them had conflicts and contradictions.

The two armies fought very intensely, both vowing to cut off the other's head.

As Emperor, Li Chen naturally didn't need to get involved in such small scenes.

If the Royal Court Khan took action, or if the large army came to Snow Eagle Ridge, then Li Chen would go north.

Generally, the Sage Realm would not appear on the battlefield, because the army's Harmonic Meridian Array was very terrifying.

In this world, human cultivators practice Meridian Arts; as long as they practice to a certain degree, Meridian Gates will appear, which is the kind of light ring that Li Sining is practicing now.

Meridian Gates can resonate with other cultivators, and thus the Harmonic Meridian Array appears.

The Harmonic Meridian Array has huge power, and even giant beasts can be overturned.

If the Sage Realm wants to take action, they also need to urge their own meridians to fight; the more powerful skills they use, the more terrifying the consumption of meridians is.

Even the Sage Realm cannot fight continuously.

After a battle, they also need to rest for a period of time before they can continue fighting.

If they fight forcibly, not only will there be no great effect, but it will also cause damage to the meridians, and their strength will slide significantly.

This is why, even if the Supreme Master wants to deal with Li Chen, he can only choose to take action far away from the city.

Because there are many powerhouses in the city, and all kinds of treasure restrictions are everywhere; they could drag him to death.

However, these are not problems Li Chen needs to consider for now; even if he is strong, there is no need to do everything himself; otherwise, what is the use of raising so many subordinates.

Leaving the Imperial Study, Li Chen bumped into Xia Qing who was passing by.

"Why did you come back so late today? Are you working overtime?" Li Chen asked.

"Replying to Your Majesty, I actually came back long ago, but I just took the opportunity to check how Li Sining's homework was doing, and now I am preparing to go back to rest." Xia Qing replied.

She was relatively serious and responsible in doing things; Li Sining was also the first "disciple" she brought, so naturally, she had to observe carefully.

In her view, Li Sining's talent was not bad, but she was not very diligent.

But cultivation cannot be forced; appropriately completing homework is also a good choice.

What surprised Xia Qing was that there was actually an exotic fire in the Alchemy Building of the New Fire Combat Academy.

As long as the exotic fire matured and a fire seed was separated, fire-element cultivators could absorb the exotic fire.

The Dean said he could let her have priority access, but Xia Qing still felt that she should rely on her own efforts to make contributions to exchange for it; otherwise, everyone would think she was the kind of person who relied on connections.

Li Chen supported her approach; in any case, as long as you are happy.

After chatting for a few sentences, the two parted ways.

On the way back to the sleeping palace, Xia Qing felt that Li Chen was quite easy to talk to, not as serious as her father said.

It was just that everyone in the palace thought she was Li Chen's future concubine, which gave her some headaches.

When Li Chen returned to his sleeping palace, he found that Ji Lianyu had been waiting there for a long time.

Recently, she had been in the palace, which could be considered as being able to help Li Chen extinguish his fire in time.

However, her main purpose for coming today was not this, but to discuss some things with Li Chen.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of positions held by our Ji Clan in the cities of the south."

Saying this, she handed a roster to Li Chen.

While Li Chen was looking at the roster, she peeled the fruit Li Chen liked to eat and fed it to his mouth.

It could be said that among so many women, she was indeed the one who knew how to take care of people the most; her gentleness and thoughtfulness were fully displayed.

According to Ji Lianyu, the leader of the Ji Clan seemed to have been persuaded by her and began to show favor to Li Chen.

And he indicated that in a few days, at the National Celebration, they would send representatives to congratulate him.

In any case, no matter who won or lost between Li Chen and the Prince of Zhennan, they would have a foothold.

This point made Li Chen feel very surprised; he didn't expect this woman to want to help him too.

Just like Lady Youlan, she could take the initiative to help him solve many troubles.

When Li Chen met Ji Lianyu's gaze, he noticed that her eyes were very similar to Li Sining's, both of which were the kind that really wanted to get Li Chen's approval.

Perhaps she did these things more to get Li Chen's praise, to make Li Chen feel that she was useful.

Li Chen remembered that the emperor of the previous dynasty achieved it by practicing special cultivation techniques; could he do it directly?

He actually didn't feel that the Prince of Zhennan was a threat at all; at least from the perspective of the Sage Realm, he really couldn't detect any danger.

However, he wanted to see what Ji Lianyu would do next, so he kept praising her for being capable, which made her heart surge with excitement.

As the saying goes, "water does not lie," and her physical reaction indeed showed that she was very satisfied now.

The next day, when Li Chen finished the early court session, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, Li Sixing, came up to report again.

"Your Majesty, someone set foot in the forbidden area again last night. According to those of my clan who fought with them, the strength of this intruder should be a cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm, and the cultivation path remains unknown."

This made Li Chen a bit puzzled; what exactly did this person want to do, and a Heavenly Abyss Realm cultivator dared to set foot in the Royal Forbidden Area?

Of course, this was just what Li Chen thought; in the eyes of the vast majority of cultivators, the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm was already very terrifying.

According to Li Sixing, this person seemed to be constantly probing in the outer area and did not enter the place with restrictions, and the cultivation technique was extremely strange, which was why they were able to retreat unscathed.

Since such a thing happened, then under normal circumstances, Li Chen should go there in person.

Li Sixing seemed to have this meaning too, but didn't dare to say it directly.

He only had the right to provide information to Li Chen, but didn't dare to let Li Chen guard the forbidden area.

But Li Chen felt it wasn't that simple; what he was thinking was that people mixing in the Imperial Capital, or even cultivation at the Heavenly Abyss Realm level, couldn't possibly not know that the Emperor of the Tian Ce Dynasty was in the Sage Realm.

He deliberately showed his face in the forbidden area, perhaps just to attract Li Chen to go there to achieve his own goal.

Now that the war in the north had started, the forces hidden in the dark should not be able to sit still.

But coincidentally, Li Chen also knew a Sage Realm thug.

While telling Li Sixing not to worry about it for now, he sent someone to call Lady Youlan over, and by the way, Lady Yuehua too.

Perhaps in a few days, he would know who sent this bold fellow.

Li Chen had said that if they show their heads, they will be killed in seconds; if they can't hold back, then wait for the nine-clan extermination!

At the same time, Xiao Ming of the Ministry of Justice, in the process of continuing to investigate the Crown Prince's guard Fan Kuai, discovered traces of battle in an area in the west of the city.

One by one, they were uneasy and trembling.

Don't care how high these people's power is locally, that is only local, regional powerhouses; the one in front of them is the current Emperor, the supreme master of the Tian Ce Dynasty!

Especially personally feeling the terrifying strength of this Emperor, the nine-shining divine rings, the imperial purple energy, are scenes that people in these remote cities might not see in their lifetime.

And now, various rumors about the Emperor are self-defeating.

This is not a puppet emperor who is old, fat, and ugly; such a Sage Realm emperor, even Wu Wu Laoyezi Wu is as weak as an ant in front of him, how could he be a puppet.

Not only that, he is simply young and has a peerless face.

Seeing the Holy Face today, most of the people kneeling on the ground felt honored while being afraid.

Don't look at these fellows who think they are smart, but since seeing Li Chen, they immediately have a sense of belonging to the Tian Ce Dynasty.

Ask, with such a peerless Emperor, which subject doesn't feel proud!

No matter what their identity is, there is only one in front of Li Chen, and that is a subject.

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 146 =====

At this moment, Pei Wanyu was already shrouded in darkness, and the aura of death was spreading. Just when she was in despair, a black-gold storm appeared, shaking the eight wildernesses!

The Eight-Armed Demon Bear that was about to attack Pei Wanyu was fighting with a black-gold holy tiger.

The holy tiger is only relatively weak in front of Li Chen; fighting the Eight-Armed Demon Bear is still easy.

In less than half a minute, the Eight-Armed Demon Bear fell to the ground with a boom, and its neck was bitten off by the holy tiger.

The surrounding ancient fierce beasts felt that the holy tiger was even more terrifying and didn't dare to approach at all.

Letting out a victorious roar, the holy tiger began to eat the meat of the Eight-Armed Demon Bear and devour the Dragon Essence.

Li Chen, who was riding on it, felt that the scene in front of him was indeed too disgusting and full of a fishy stench, so he jumped to a clean place to wait for it to finish eating.

Just at this time, a 'wild beauty' appeared in the grass next to Li Chen.

The clothes on this woman were tattered, and a patch of snow-white skin was displayed in front of Li Chen.

Her face had mud, and there were bloodstains at the corners of her mouth; it felt like she had just been attacked.

Combined with the Eight-Armed Demon Bear the holy tiger was eating, Li Chen roughly guessed a little.

"Many thanks to the benefactor for saving me; this little woman has no way to repay you," Pei Wanyu said softly.

"Will you offer yourself?" Li Chen said casually.

"I can."

"."

Li Chen was a little surprised: I just said it casually, and you really agreed?

Pei Wanyu certainly dared to agree; she felt that with Li Chen's appearance, she wouldn't lose out.

Those who are handsome can naturally offer themselves; those who are ugly can only repay in the next life!
