Chapter 185

How could Wang Yueyao have imagined that this quiet, handsome man who didn't speak much was actually a Sage Realm cultivator?

She hadn't asked about this aspect because she was afraid Li Chen's cultivation was low; just like when she invited Wu Nanzhi last time, she hadn't considered that her cultivation wasn't enough, and inviting him into the Mystical Realm was indeed a kind of offense.

Now it seems she was overthinking it; the opponent's cultivation was simply not something she could have fantasized about.

The Wang Fu's guards were all elites chosen from thousands, especially the guard captain, who was even more unfathomable.

To be killed in seconds just like that, without even the ability to fight back.

It truly made Wang Yueyao feel shocked; her beautiful eyes under her white eyebrows kept staring at Li Chen, not knowing what she was thinking.

At this time, Wu Nanzhi had already gone to help untie the beautiful mature women tied up nearby, asking them what had happened.

There were three in total, and their beautiful faces were all in the state of having survived a disaster, their faces haggard, yet still unable to hide the charm between their brows.

One of the beautiful women wearing a golden hairpin expressed her gratitude and spoke of what had just happened.

Her clansmen had triggered this chaos with the goal of rescuing her, also thinking of escaping from here via the waterway.

As a result, they were caught up by the Wang Fu guard team that had also noticed.

Her clansmen were all killed, and she and these women were dragged back.

Speaking of this, her words were sorrowful, her face full of grief, looking exactly like someone who was homeless.

Wu Nanzhi felt that this was not a big problem; Li Chen's specialty was taking in these young wives and older wives.

If Li Chen knew she was thinking this, he would definitely say: That's right!

By the time Wang Yueyao came back to her senses, she had already thought of a countermeasure.

In her view, Li Chen was Sage Realm, so he indeed wouldn't worry about the Wang family's retaliation.

But she and her mother couldn't add too much trouble to Li Chen and Wu Nanzhi.

Even if Li Chen was very strong, he already had a woman, and she wasn't familiar with him, so it wouldn't be good to cling to his side; in the end, she still had to rely on herself.

So she decided to go to the eastern part of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, where the Wang family's influence was relatively weak, making it suitable for hiding from the Wang family.

The May Tian Ce Dynasty is so large, and going there has many dangers; if she encounters bad people, her little bit of cultivation won't be able to protect her mother.

She came to Li Chen's side, asking if Li Chen could send them to the eastern part of the May Tian Ce Dynasty; although she had nothing now, she would definitely repay Li Chen's kindness in the future.

Li Chen, however, said: "No need to be so troublesome, I will handle the Wang family."

Hearing him say this, not only Wang Yueyao, but the several beautiful women beside her were also somewhat surprised.

Even if you are Sage Realm, the Wang family has many hidden experts, very extensive connections, and is a great noble of the May Tian Ce Dynasty; it's not worth offending the Wang family for their sake.

Wang Yueyao was afraid Li Chen would act on impulse, so she said these things out.

She thought Li Chen would think twice after hearing this, but who knew he didn't take it seriously at all, and said bluntly: "I am the Emperor of the Li Imperial Clan; do you think I'm afraid of the Wang family?"

Wang Yueyao: "."

I was wondering why you looked so indifferent; it turns out your family is even bigger!

Wait, he seemed to say he is the Emperor!

Wang Yueyao's reaction was also fast, immediately kneeling on the ground to pay respects to Li Chen.

The other several beautiful women, seeing this situation, also knelt and kowtowed.

They indeed hadn't seen the Emperor, but they knew the etiquette.

Li Chen let them get up first, indicating that he had come here to investigate remnants of the previous dynasty and reorganize sect forces, and just happened to encounter Wang Yueyao's invitation, so he came to the Wang family to take a look.

As a professional wingman, Wu Nanzhi began to soothe these beautiful women, telling them not to be afraid, as it would be safe with His Majesty here.

If they knew any evidence of the Wang family's crimes, they could say it, and perhaps there would even be a reward.

Once these women heard this, not only could they be rescued, but they could also receive a reward, and they were even prepared to go and complain to Li Chen.

But this was the wilderness, not a place to talk; perhaps Wang family guards would come later, which didn't count as dangerous, just a bit troublesome.

It would be better to find a relatively large room for everyone to talk slowly.

Thinking of this, Wu Nanzhi summoned the Sacred Tiger, this super sports car.

The women around were seeing such a tall and mighty mount for the first time, and their hearts were indeed somewhat fearful.

Wu Nanzhi brought Wang Yueyao to the front position; as the owner of the Sacred Tiger, Wu Nanzhi knew its speed and had learned some beast-taming ways, so it wasn't as easy to be thrown off as before.

Li Chen, on the other hand, reluctantly sat in the middle position with the other four beautiful women.

These beautiful women didn't know the power of the Sacred Tiger at first, but after it started running, they all had to hug Li Chen tightly to avoid falling off.

They were saying words of apology, but their heartbeats were all accelerating.

Li Chen said it was nothing, and personally held them steady.

The Sacred Tiger continued to shuttle through the dark night, each step seeming to tread on the void, causing the surrounding scenery to flow rapidly like water.

Wang Yueyao, sitting on the Sacred Tiger, felt the wild wind blowing against her face, her long white hair fluttering wantonly in the wind, like a fairy descending to the world, unstained by dust.

She took a deep breath, and the air was mixed with the freshness of grass and trees.

At this moment, Wang Yueyao was whispering to Wu Nanzhi sitting beside her.

For the first time, she had a feeling of escaping shackles; it seemed that ahead was her future, and she didn't know if she could grasp the future this time.

But the several beautiful women not far behind her had already grasped the future.

When the Sacred Tiger stopped in Shanghe City, Wang Yueyao got off the Sacred Tiger and found that her mother's breathing was somewhat rapid, so she asked if her mother was feeling unwell.

Wang Yueyao's mother just indicated that the journey was bumpy and it was nothing major, and she would be fine after resting for a while.

Because it was late at night, Wang Yueyao couldn't see any clues, and the few followed Li Chen to the Jiang family.

Jiang family head Jiang Ningyue saw Li Chen go out for a trip and bring back so many beauties, sighing that His Majesty's charm was truly great.

The Jiang family's courtyard was very large, so they arranged for these women to stay first.

The most important thing was to arrange for Wang Yueyao, because the other women had important matters to discuss in detail with Li Chen.

After letting her daughter rest well, Wang Yueyao's mother came to Li Chen's room; when she arrived, the others were already communicating with Li Chen.

Li Chen also learned in the process of deep communication with them that Wang Yueyao's mother was named Luo Qimeng, from Luoshui Villa, and Luoshui Villa belonged to a cultivation clan living in seclusion outside the city.

Luoshui Villa was wiped out by the Wang family more than ten years ago, and she was also snatched to this place.

The beautiful mature woman wearing a golden hairpin was named Han Yuesheng; she had just married into Shuangyue Fortress when she encountered the Wang family's attack.

Han Yuesheng had a certain status in the Wang Fu, so she knew that some strange people were hidden in the Wang family, as well as many of the Wang family's secrets; these were enough for Li Chen to communicate with her very seriously.

The other two plump and excellent beautiful mature women were called Jin Qiaoqiao and Ling Qianxi.

Both were women from noble families, and could also be called Madam Chen and Madam Xiao.

Jin Qiaoqiao married into the Chen family of Jianmen City in the western part of the May Tian Ce Dynasty; the family was wiped out, and she was snatched here.

Ling Qianxi married into the Xiao family of Wuchao City on the border of the May Tian Ce Dynasty; it was also the family being wiped out, and she was forcibly snatched to this place.

To say how vicious the Wang family was, they would turn this kind of thing into an enemy seeking revenge, leaving no trace for people to find.

In fact, secretly, it was the Wang family manipulating behind the scenes, sending experts to support and fan the flames.

She and the other were also snatched to the Wang family before they knew what was going on.

In order to be able to let the Wang family be punished, they also tried hard to serve Li Chen well.

Now their goal was to watch with their own eyes the Wang family being wiped out, letting the Wang family also experience the pain of being wiped out.

After the Wang family was wiped out, they would then look for those clansmen who might still be alive.

Jin Qiaoqiao had a son named Chen Xuannan, who was relatively cold and honest, with strong talent but very poor strength, and cultivated very seriously.

Ling Qianxi's son had a great background, being the genius Xiao Ming of Wuchao City, but she didn't know if he could escape the pursuit.

If they could meet again, they also hoped to give some help to the people of the family through their own efforts.

Thinking of this, they served Li Chen even more diligently.

Luo Qimeng only had one daughter, and here she was also trying hard to promote her daughter, hoping that her daughter could also cling to Li Chen's thigh and live a good life.

Han Yuesheng had no children, but was very beautiful, only hoping Li Chen could take her in.

Li Chen was a Sage Realm Emperor rarely seen in a thousand years; once they learned this identity, as long as they knew Li Chen had ideas, they would definitely try hard.

After all, a beautiful future was right in front of them; if they didn't grasp it, it would be gone.

The next day, Li Chen called Lin Yue'e over and told her his plans for the next steps.

Yinshan City should be the Wang family's territory; after Li Chen returned to the Imperial Capital to organize the evidence of the Wang family's crimes, then the Wang family would face the situation of being captured, or even wiped out.

Letting the government runners of Yinshan City deal with the Wang family, it was estimated that it would be very difficult to do, and it would also let the Wang family escape, leaving behind trouble.

Then powerful strength was needed to help.

Nearby, there happened to be two major sects: Chensha Dao Sect and Yuxu Immortal Mansion.

These two major sects didn't get the resources of the Immortal Ancient Spirit Lake, and now they were indeed very short of resources.

Li Chen gave True Person Chiyuan and Superior Qingxu a chance to perform a great meritorious service.

After the secret report was passed down, Li Chen let Lin Yue'e go find them; they naturally knew what to do. No matter how many experts the Wang family hid, what of it? Chensha Dao Sect and Yuxu Immortal Mansion were both pillars supporting the sky.

Coupled with the May Tian Ce Dynasty's official encirclement, it was presumed that the Wang family's downfall was only a matter of time.

True Person Chiyuan and Superior Qingxu, as sect masters of large sects, didn't need fame, so this credit naturally counted on Lin Yue'e's body.

Hearing this, Lin Yue'e was so moved she couldn't speak; His Majesty was truly too good to her, and this kindness was being repaid more and more!

She felt that ever since meeting Li Chen, her life had been full of surprises.

Lin Yue'e didn't need to think to know that if she returned to the Imperial Capital, relying on the credit of wiping out the Wang family and the remnants of the previous dynasty, it would already be enough to make those old ministers in the court shut up.

Not to mention that she had certain political achievements in governing the local area in Shanghe City and managing the sect.

After discussing these, Li Chen planned to leave Shanghe City and return to the Imperial Capital.

At the same time, the Wang family in the Imperial Capital also seemed to have sensed some danger.

As a noble family with outstanding meritorious service, it could be said that for as many years as the Li family had developed in the May Tian Ce Dynasty, the Wang family had developed for as many years.

!

The Wang family's residence in the Imperial Capital was also magnificent, and it was one of the few that could be mentioned in the same breath as the Jing'an Prince's residence.

Perhaps on the day the Li family's founding emperor attacked the Imperial Capital's dynasty, the Wang family's head at that time was a person beside the founding emperor, holding great power in his hands.

Perhaps out of pity, they took in some remnants of the previous dynasty.

But it was just this matter that left a root of trouble for future generations.

Under the protection of the Wang family, the remnants of the previous dynasty slowly developed, and even ran to the Wang family's territory to develop, which was some areas in the western part of the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

The Wang family naturally also obtained quite a few benefits from this, mastering some special abilities, but benefits and risks coexist.

At this moment, in the study of the Wang family residence in the Imperial Capital, family head Wang Tengfeng received a secret report from his younger brother Wang Tengyue.

It said that this new emperor, Li Chen, had quietly headed to the western part of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, and while reorganizing the sect force Zixiao Tiangong, he had begun to capture remnants of the previous dynasty on a large scale.

Yinshan City City Lord Wang Tengyue's meaning was to let his older brother be careful, as perhaps the Imperial Capital would be in danger.

Wang Tengyue had a somewhat bad feeling, always feeling that something would happen, only he hadn't thought that his own home had been stolen for the time being.

Seeing his younger brother's letter, Wang Tengfeng also had a serious expression.

The Wang family was too massive, leading to the remnants of the previous dynasty surviving until now under their protection, and even becoming increasingly active.

Not to mention other families, the remnants of the previous dynasty even had some improper connections with some Li family members.

The late emperor had seen the clues, which is why he severely cracked down on the remnants of the previous dynasty.

In Wang Tengfeng's view, the late emperor was a man of great talent and bold vision, and the Crown Prince was also talented and intelligent, both belonging to the stronger figures in the Li lineage.

So he chose to hide his edge, and rarely appeared after inheriting the position of family head.

It was just that Wang Tengfeng hadn't expected that the remnants of the previous dynasty would actually have a way to kill the late emperor and the Crown Prince.

What he hadn't expected even more was that someone ridiculously strong had come up.

This emperor named Li Chen was not reasonable at all, nor did he care about feelings.

In Wang Tengfeng's view, Li Chen's style of doing things could only be described as unpredictable.

Because no one knew what Li Chen would do next, and one couldn't even know Li Chen's whereabouts.

A Sage Realm powerhouse, as long as he didn't want to be followed, who could follow him?

However, Wang Tengfeng handled matters very carefully and cautiously, and didn't feel that he could possibly be investigated for clues.

For the sake of insurance, he had already told his subordinates not to cause trouble recently; being targeted by government runners wouldn't be good.

Everything was prepared, and Wang Tengfeng began to close his eyes and rest; he had many trump cards, so many that even the late emperor didn't dare to act rashly against him.

What he didn't know was that the Wang family had been investigated by the Son of Luck, Xiao Ming, and the Ministry of Justice was secretly investigating.

Perhaps Xiao Ming didn't know either that the revenge for his family being wiped out would be reported by his own hands!

And Xiao Ming at this moment was still on the road of being a sycophant.

However, it is worth mentioning that after devouring the strange fire, the power on his body was getting stronger and stronger.

Xiao Ming's cultivation was lower than other Sons of Luck; besides his own problems, there was also a drag on his body.

The Sage remnant soul would absorb some of Xiao Ming's energy to maintain its form.

Especially when Xiao Ming needed to ask his master to possess him for help, it was actually a burden on Xiao Ming.

As a Son of Luck, as long as there were enough opportunities, he could become strong.

After the credit accumulation settlement in the Ministry of Justice these few times, he would be able to freely enter some Mystical Realms of the May Tian Ce Dynasty to cultivate.

This is the benefit of being a government runner; there's no need to go and grab those wild Mystical Realms with other cultivators.

Lin Yue'e hadn't returned yet, and Xiao Ming often went to the Xinhuo Combat Academy now, but without exception, he had never received a good look from Xia Qing.

When he came today, people at the Xinhuo Combat Academy said Xia Qing had taken leave and didn't come; he wanted to ask for Xia Qing's address, but people here all said they didn't know.

Bored, he returned to the streets of the Imperial Capital to patrol.

Just at this moment, he suddenly had a feeling of palpitations, as if someone familiar was nearby.

But after looking around, he didn't find any familiar people present.

It was just that a few magnificent carriages passed by the nearby area; could it be that he was overthinking?

Xiao Ming had thick nerves, and if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it.

After walking for a while, a familiar voice appeared in his ear.

"Xiao Ming, why is a kid like you here?"

Hearing someone call him, Xiao Ming turned his head back.

He discovered a handsome figure staring at him.

"Lin Mo? Why did you come to the Imperial Capital?"

Xiao Ming had encountered Lin Mo on the road from the border city to the Imperial Capital.

Sons of Luck all love to go to auction houses; at that time, Xiao Ming went to the auction house to sell the elixirs he refined; at that time, even if the quality of the elixirs wasn't high, they could still be sold for quite a bit of money.

Lin Mo also went to sell the props he made to exchange for some money; the two had some conflicts because they had bid on the same thing.

During that time, they also often saw each other, and it could only be said they knew each other, with no particularly good relationship.

As Sons of Luck, they all wanted to surpass the other, so they also remembered each other.

"I came to the Imperial Capital to take up a post; looking at your clothes, you are also a government runner?"

Lin Mo had been sizing up Xiao Ming.

"That's for sure; this official is now in the Ministry of Justice's Tixing Division; little brother, if you encounter trouble in the future, you can come find me."

Xiao Ming finally had a chance to show off, so he naturally put on official airs.

This left Lin Mo speechless for a while, but coming to the Imperial Capital and meeting an acquaintance was not bad.

His relationship with Xiao Ming wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either.

The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Ming learned that Lin Mo was valued by His Majesty and went to work in the Ministry of Works, expressing his congratulations.

He felt that this kid was quite suitable for the Ministry of Works, because Lin Mo's commercial talent and hands-on ability were both very strong.

Standing here all the time wasn't right, so Xiao Ming invited Lin Mo to drink, and Lin Mo readily agreed, and the two left this place.

Not long after they left, another Son of Luck, Tang Shan, also arrived at the Imperial Capital.

After several women in the team hadn't returned for several days, Dai Xiaoyao suddenly received news of being engaged to be unmarried.

This left him somewhat confused; at the time, he thought Zhu Zhuying had done it on purpose, and knowing he was wrong, he went with Tang Shan and others to inquire about news, preparing to win back his fiancée.

As a result, they learned from the Chensha Dao Sect's office that Xiaorou, Zhu Zhuying, and Ning Xiaoxiao had already entered the palace as concubines, which shocked Tang Shan and the others.

After all, the three of them were all people of the Chensha Dao Sect, and some things still had to be told to the sect.

Besides, the Chensha Dao Sect also encouraged them to do so and gave them support.

Getting this news, Dai Xiaoyao directly gave up; he was just a prince of a small country and simply couldn't compete with an emperor of a great country like Li Chen.

Tang Shan felt that he was caught in the crossfire; you, Dai Xiaoyao, at least did something wrong yourself, but I didn't do anything, and two fan girls were gone?

In order to investigate clearly what had happened, he also followed to the Imperial Capital.

The one who felt even more confused was the second daughter of the Jiang family in Shanghe City, Jiang Mo.

She had been training outside with an elder of the Yuxu Immortal Mansion for this period, and when she returned to the sect, she received a letter from home, telling her to hurry home for a trip.

Especially Jiang Rong's letter, it seemed like something had happened to the Jiang family.

Jiang Mo ran back in a hurry, and upon arriving home, she saw that only some maids were left in the Jiang family, and then learned that her family had all gone to the Imperial Capital!
