Chapter 215

"What are you saying?"

Hearing Li Yang's words made Li Xian feel somewhat inconceivable, and even somewhat angry.

Li Xian felt that he was at least surnamed Li and couldn't do this kind of thing.

"Li Yang, are you a beast? It's one thing to harm the Crown Prince, but you're also planning to resurrect the emperors of the previous dynasty?"

Li Xian was just obsessed with being Emperor, but he still had a bottom line and wasn't willing to do everything.

Those who knew Li Xian knew that this guy already had the intention to kill.

Seeing that Li Xian's gaze was somewhat wrong, Li Yang hurriedly explained.

"Don't be in a hurry; listen to me finish..."

According to Li Yang, he had obtained a lot of information from the princess of the Yuan clan of the previous dynasty.

The previous dynasty was named the Great Yuan Dynasty; in the history of the entire dynasty, there was an emperor with a Chaos Dragon Body, historically known as the Dragon Emperor.

The power of the Dragon Emperor back then could be said to have suppressed an era, unrivaled.

But because the Saintly Body was too powerful and there was no suitable cultivation technique to control it, he had no choice but to enter a state of slumber.

If an unknown number of years had passed, the powerhouses of the previous dynasty's remnants deduced that the Dragon Emperor was about to wake up; along with the Dragon Emperor, the most powerful Flying Dragon Legion of the previous dynasty was also in slumber.

At that time, the sky would definitely change, and the entire continent would be reshuffled.

Li Yang thought at the time that the Li royal family would likely not be able to withstand this catastrophe.

Speaking of this, Li Xian asked suspiciously: "Are you afraid of death, so you chose to rely on the Yuan clan?"

Li Yang was slightly stunned and shook his head: "No, I am for the princess of the previous dynasty."

Li Xian: "..."

"Damn you!"

Li Xian now really wanted to curse Li Yang's ancestors for eighteen generations, but remembering that they were also his own ancestors, he didn't know how to curse him for a while.

"You guy betrayed our Li clan just for a woman; do you have any ambition?"

It would have been better if Li Yang hadn't explained; once he explained, Li Xian wanted to kill him even more.

Looking at Li Yang's current appearance, he should have already been brainwashed by the remnants of the previous dynasty and become a running dog of the Yuan clan.

However, Li Xian felt that this was also an opportunity; perhaps contacting Li Yang would allow him to know what the situation was with that Dragon Emperor of the Yuan clan of the previous dynasty.

It was a pity his master was caught; otherwise, he might have been able to ask about some situations.

After understanding that Li Yang was just a puppet, Li Xian began his own layout; although he was ashamed to be with the remnants of the previous dynasty, the remnants of the previous dynasty might be usable.

The last failed attack on Li Chen had already made Li Xian realize Li Chen's power; perhaps the Dragon Emperor was a very good test stone.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Xian left this place and returned to his hiding place.

Feng Wuhen had already been waiting here for a long time.

"Is there any news from the Imperial Capital?" Li Xian was still very concerned about the situation in the Imperial Capital; as the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

"Li Chen's whereabouts are uncertain; it is estimated that he is no longer in the Imperial Capital. The Sassanid Dynasty and the May Tian Ce Dynasty have already started a war, and the border armies are fighting fiercely."

Feng Wuhen was Li Xian's confidant and had followed Li Xian from the Imperial Capital to here.

Loyalty was one thing, but more was that there was no other way; he had already been tied to Li Xian's boat and was also a wanted criminal of the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

Choosing a side was like this; if Li Xian's rebellion succeeded, he would at least be a powerful minister of the current dynasty, in a high position with heavy power.

Li Xian's rebellion failed, and now that he was starting his second venture, Feng Wuhen could only follow.

After witnessing the power of the reclusive forces, Feng Wuhen felt that Li Xian might have chosen the right path this time.

After chatting for a while, Li Xian began his daily activities.

In order to survive among the hidden forces, Li Xian definitely had to curry favor with a woman.

This woman was a proper member of the Immortal Sect; the reason these Immortal Sects were powerful was that they possessed treasures bestowed by immortals, which they worshipped for generations, thus obtaining power that transcended the secular world.

Precisely because of this, they disdained secular struggles and, in order to be grateful to the immortals, only thought about ascending to the Immortal Realm.

If anyone dared to be disrespectful to the immortals, they would take action.

These were all news Li Xian had inquired about recently; what specific treasure it was, he didn't know yet.

Li Xian was now located in the eastern mountain range of the May Tian Ce Dynasty; this was no longer within the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

Just when he was on his way to the Immortal Sect, a huge Saint Beast passed by from afar.

The Saint Beast's speed was too fast and passed in a flash.

Even if Li Xian only caught a glimpse, he marveled at the power of this Saint Beast; this was a Saint Beast that would only exist near the Immortal Sect, and it might be the mount of some reclusive big shot.

It was a pity his strength wasn't enough; otherwise, he would have chased after it and befriended this big shot.

Thinking of this, Li Xian worshipped the Immortal Sect even more.

He just didn't expect that this Saint Beast was Li Chen's mount, and Li Chen was riding on it.

If Li Xian really chased after it, he would encounter an unexpected surprise, or rather, a fright.

At this moment, Li Chen was on his way to the Tianwu Dynasty.

The Canglong Mountain Range stretched for tens of thousands of miles; there were countless powerful demonic beasts and dangerous places here, and if cultivators were not careful, they would become food for the demonic beasts and be buried in this place.

Many cultivators and merchant caravans traveling between the two countries took the official road.

The official road was also a relatively safe road opened up by the sages.

This road also had occasional demonic beasts and some people who did evil.

So people coming and going either had powerful strength or needed to hire guards.

Last time Mu Qingrou took the official road with Pei Wanyu and was attacked by many people, but her strength was extremely strong, and she directly broke through the encirclement.

Li Chen was even more direct; he didn't take the official road and walked in the way of the shortest straight line between two points.

There were many demonic beasts in the Canglong Mountain Range, and there were quite a few dangers, but the Saint Tiger didn't care about these.

Many years ago, the Saint Tiger was the overlord of this area, and these places were like playing for it.

Don't look at the Saint Tiger as just a mount that was not very useful and could only run away here at Li Chen's place.

But in the eyes of cultivators like Li Xian and Lin Xun, it was a powerful Saint Beast that was unattainable; even in reclusive sects, it was a very rare existence, and only those top big shots could possess it.

Not to mention that the demonic beasts in the Canglong Mountain Range felt the aura of the Saint Tiger and trembled; that was fear from the depths of their souls.

The Saint Tiger's pace could greatly save time.

The journey of more than ten days could be handled by the Saint Tiger in one day.

There were five people sitting on the Saint Tiger; if Li Chen went out, he would mostly bring Wu Nanzhi along; the women in the harem all felt that Li Chen doted on her very much, and Li Chen didn't avoid it; he just doted on her.

Who made him have good luck every time he brought Wu Nanzhi out?

Wu Nanzhi was a professional wingman; quite a few women in the harem were all tricked by Wu Nanzhi.

So her relationship with other women in the harem was very good.

The other three were naturally the three elders of the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion.

The three of them not only had a very high status in the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, but even in the cultivation world of the central May Tian Ce Dynasty, they were also highly respected.

Whether in the cultivation world or the secular world, those male cultivators were proud to marry a woman from the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion.

Whoever married one could say their ancestral grave was smoking.

Male cultivators often fought privately to curry favor with the women of the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, and even spared no effort to find heavenly materials and earthly treasures for them, just to win a smile from them.

But these women were now all by Li Chen's side, working hard to curry favor with Li Chen.

Especially now, Wen Ting in Li Chen's arms and Shi Yingying beside him both felt that Wen Ting might really like Li Chen; these few days, no matter what Li Chen requested, she would satisfy him.

On the other side, Xu Qingning was actually very guilty; she actually had an agreement with someone else that when that person reached the Sage Realm, she would agree to become that person's cultivation partner.

But Li Chen was too strong in all aspects, making Xu Qingning unable to refuse at all.

She just liked such a strong man.

Of course, most women like strong men, which also depends on the situation.

Handsome, strong, high status—that is strong in their eyes; no matter what you do, they won't resist too much.

Conversely, that is a hooligan, which will make them feel disgusted and resist to the death.

Li Chen naturally perfectly met the standard of being strong.

These women of the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion were all very conservative; once taken by Li Chen, their hearts naturally only had Li Chen alone.

"Your Majesty, ahead is the Imperial Capital of the Tianwu Dynasty," Shi Yingying said, pointing to the place ahead.

The Saint Tiger had been running for almost a day, so it could be considered almost at the destination.

In the past, Wu Nanzhi's strength wasn't very strong, and the Saint Tiger had to replenish its physical strength after running a distance.

Ever since the Saint Tiger devoured the Dragon Essence, its endurance had improved quite a bit.

Li Chen was thinking, should he find more Dragon Essence for the Saint Tiger, so that it could run day and night?

If the Saint Tiger knew this thought of Li Chen's, it wouldn't know whether to cry or laugh.

What was happy was that it needed Dragon Essence to improve its strength, and its feeder was really willing to give it Dragon Essence. One must know that a Dragon Essence with good quality could allow a cultivator to break through to the Sage Realm.

Wu Nanzhi's father obtained a Dragon Essence when he was young, which gave him the opportunity to break through.

This was a relatively rare thing even in reclusive sects, and only disciples at the level of Lin Mo and Yi Yu were worthy of possessing it, which could be said to be very precious.

But the problem was, Li Chen wasted Dragon Essence just to let the Saint Tiger hurry on its way.

This reason would indeed make people vomit blood; they were reluctant to use things they couldn't get, but Li Chen took them to feed his mount.

At the current stage, the Dragon race was very rare, so these resources were also scarce.

As long as Li Chen opened up the Myriad Worlds, then the places where the Dragon race was located would become the places human cultivators liked to go to the most.

Even if the Saint Tiger felt somewhat aggrieved now, it would know later that it had followed the right person; among the myriad races, what could it not eat!

Li Chen wasn't afraid of other races; according to the ancient rumors Lady Youlan said, the human race was food for other races.

It sounded indeed very scary, and it was also a fact.

Quite a few sects with long-standing inheritance were grateful to the Immortal race, feeling that the Immortal race saved the human race, allowing the human race to be free from the infringement of other races.

!

But the problem was, some things could be thought of in reverse.

According to Li Chen's thinking, in front of the human race, weren't other races also food?

If you don't want to be persecuted, then you just need to become strong and step on the heads of the myriad races; naturally, you won't be persecuted.

Just like the Snow Eagle Royal Court in the past, Li Chen knew Tuoba Zhen had evil intentions and definitely had to solve him.

There was no need for any game, and he was too lazy to pull and balance.

Just do it and it's over!

Just like Li Chen's cultivation method, as long as I am the final winner and I have achieved my goal, then my process must be correct!

At this moment, the Saint Tiger stopped on the hillside, and Li Chen's gaze followed Shi Yingying's hand, looking into the distance at the city.

Although the Imperial Capital of the Tianwu Dynasty was not as magnificent as that of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, it was also very huge.

Every dynasty was the same; there would be vassal kings and generals who relied on military power.

Once power reached a certain level, ambition would also expand.

The person sitting on the throne without extremely high ruling power definitely couldn't convince the public.

Pei Wanyu had now ascended the throne as Emperor, becoming the Empress of the Tianwu Dynasty.

Actually, her encounter was similar to Li Chen's; many ministers in the court were unconvinced, and vassal kings outside were rebelling.

Li Chen had powerful strength and gradually solved his troubles; even if the May Tian Ce Dynasty hadn't achieved stability yet, there were already few people who dared to challenge Li Chen.

Pei Wanyu didn't have Li Chen's powerful strength and was still developing; it was very difficult to make these ministers convinced.

But she had Li Chen; as long as she got Li Chen's help, everything wasn't too big a problem.

The current Pei Wanyu was handling various troublesome government affairs in the Imperial Study in the imperial palace.

The exclusive secret guards of the Emperor of the Tianwu Dynasty were investigating the court officials to see who was colluding with the enemy; those caught must be severely punished.

Now was a very critical moment and there couldn't be any losses.

When the old Emperor was alive, he had cultivated her as a successor; she knew some means of handling government affairs, unlike Li Chen at that time, who didn't know anything when he first sat on the throne.

"Daughter, take a rest; you've been too tired these past few days."

Pei Wanyu's mother brought a bowl of ginseng soup and looked at her with heartache.

Ever since her daughter succeeded to the throne, she had been fighting wits and courage with the court officials, sometimes unable to sleep all night.

Especially in the first few days, if she hadn't cultivated, she might not have been able to hold on.

Recently, dark circles had appeared; even though she had become Empress and her temperament had increased a lot, she also appeared somewhat haggard.

"Mother, it's fine; these are all things I should do."

In order to stabilize this country, Pei Wanyu had to work hard.

When she first came, it was also very dangerous; if it weren't for Mu Qingrou, this Sage Realm sword master, taking action, she might have died in the palace.

A new emperor just ascended the throne, but it was very easy to be assassinated by people in the palace.

When Li Chen first ascended the throne, there were actually people who wanted to assassinate Li Chen, and the orders had already been sent out.

But the people who accepted the orders were dumbfounded.

"What? You want me to kill a Sage Realm Emperor?"

"Is this something I can do?"

"You give me this little money and let me go to my death?"

On the day Pei Wanyu ascended the throne, she also encountered opposition from many court officials.

It was only under the deterrence of her mother and Mu Qingrou that she was barely helped up.

Next, she encountered various crises, such as the vassal kings' armies getting closer and closer to the Imperial Capital, and the major meritorious families in the Imperial Capital began to choose sides.

In those few days, the entire Imperial Capital of the Tianwu Dynasty could be said to be flowing with blood.

Even the Imperial Guards had to guard this place at all times, because there had been no telling how many attacks outside the palace gates.

Pei Wanyu had been Empress for more than ten days and felt that more than half of the territory was no longer under her control.

The powerful armies of the vassal kings were approaching the Imperial Capital; at the most dangerous moment, the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army finally appeared majestically.

The first battle shocked the entire Tianwu Dynasty.

The regular army of the May Tian Ce Dynasty easily defeated the menacing vassal kings.

It made this ordinary country feel what the majesty of a great nation was!

The might of the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army, the strength of its weapon configuration, and the talent of its commanders were not something these vassal kings' armies could compare to.

Take the Prince of Zhennan for example; his army had beaten more than a dozen countries in the south until they had no power to fight back.

Like these small countries, conscription was forcibly pulling people into the army.

In the May Tian Ce Dynasty, you couldn't even enter the military camp without some ability, and those who could enter were considered very strong existences among ordinary people.

This huge difference caused the defeat of the vassal kings of the Tianwu Dynasty.

A saying circulated among the countries in the southeast: "The only thing that can contend with the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army is the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army."

This sentence was vividly reflected in the struggle between the Prince of Zhennan and the Third Imperial Prince.

That was two May Tian Ce Dynasty armies fighting, which was why it was so fierce.

The May Tian Ce Dynasty was fighting like this internally, and still had the mind to send troops to suppress the internal chaos of the Tianwu Dynasty; how could this not shock the emperors of the countries in the southeast?

What they didn't know was that this army of the May Tian Ce Dynasty was just a relatively ordinary border army.

The elite ones were either fighting internally or had already assembled on the western battlefield.

But even so, it was a dimensionality-reduction strike, not something other countries' armies could resist.

And the vassal kings' armies didn't have a strong will to fight in the first place; it was just that the old Emperor had lost his elite troops in the battle with the Sea Clan; otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to rebel.

In the current stage of the Tianwu Dynasty, due to the appearance of the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army, the vassal kings had already been suppressed, so Pei Wanyu, as Empress, definitely had to start clearing out the disobedient ministers in the Imperial Capital.

During this period, news kept appearing, even late at night, and she hadn't slept well.

There were also loyal ministers who advised that Pei Wanyu was "inviting a tiger to swallow a wolf," which would lead to endless trouble.

In the eyes of these ministers, inviting the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army definitely required paying a huge price.

Even Pei Wanyu's mother, the Empress Dowager of the Tianwu Dynasty, Tang Mengyou, felt this matter was inappropriate.

In the early court session today, Pei Wanyu didn't explain.

At this time, after Pei Wanyu finished drinking the soup, Tang Mengyou mentioned this matter again, saying: "Tell me honestly, daughter, what price did you pay to invite the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army over?"

Pei Wanyu stammered for a while, knowing she couldn't hide it, and said shyly: "Mother, I... I am Li Chen's woman."

She recounted her encounter with Li Chen in the Canglong Mountain Range.

After she was saved by Li Chen, she promised to give herself to him and entered the imperial palace of the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

If it weren't for having to come back to inherit the throne, she might have become an imperial consort of the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

This shocked Tang Mengyou; she hadn't expected her daughter to have such a strange encounter?

Giving herself to him was indeed very casual, but if the other party was the Emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, Tang Mengyou could understand; this was her daughter's opportunity, and her life was not meant to end.

Pei Wanyu returned in a hurry, so she didn't say these things at the time; Tang Mengyou had thought she had stumbled upon the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion by accident.

As for Pei Wanyu's protector, she was seriously injured in the Canglong Mountain Range and was still in seclusion to recuperate and hadn't returned.

Immediately after, Pei Wanyu dropped a bombshell: "Not only me, but Mansion Master Mu is also Li Chen's woman."

"What!?" This sentence made her mother Tang Mengyou's jaw drop.

She grew up with Mu Qingrou and knew Mu Qingrou's personality very well.

This woman was a sword fanatic, only liked precious swords and sword techniques, and hated men; how could she possibly be an imperial consort for an emperor?

Pei Wanyu knew her mother didn't believe it, but Pei Wanyu couldn't say "I and Mu Qingrou have doubled up, and I saw it with my own eyes."

She could only roughly say what she saw in the imperial palace of the May Tian Ce Dynasty, and her mother Tang Mengyou believed it a few points.

"I was wondering why Mu Qingrou kept hiding from me; so that's how it is."
