Chapter 448

"Awoo!" A roar like a cow and a tiger resounded in their ears. The lizard dragon had already swooped down, its massive body blocking the sun, and its sharp claws, shining with metallic cold light, followed closely to reach for these people.

It was clearly trying to attack humans indiscriminately to vent the anger in its heart.

Li Chen kept appraising the lizard dragon attacking from the sky, and seeing the sharp claws coming, he just raised his hand slightly.

"Boom—!" Before Li Chen could even make a move, the lizard dragon, which was about to swoop to the ground, was suddenly sent flying as if hit by a truck. Its massive body dragged a deep pit like a gutter on the ground, and finally smashed into a hill in the distance, raising a large cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, a figure with a long white beard, fluttering green clothes, and a long sword on his back stood on the hill-like body of the lizard dragon.

A breeze blew, white hair danced lightly, and long sleeves fanned slightly, as if an immortal had descended.

With his appearance, a commotion sounded around.

"It's Daoist Master Yang Ci! Heavens, I can actually see a legendary Sage Realm powerhouse!"

"Is this a Sage Realm powerhouse? Actually killing a hill-like lizard dragon in one move, this... this is a fierce monster capable of destroying a city!"

"I heard Daoist Master Yang Ci is traveling and taking disciples. Do you think I have a chance?"

"If I can become a disciple of Daoist Master Yang Ci, can I reach the peak of the immortal path?"

The appearance of the Sage Realm naturally made everyone around submit and admire.

The matter of Daoist Master Yang Ci traveling and taking disciples was an 'immortal trace' in the southern kingdoms.

Especially those disciples who were accepted, all felt that their family's ancestral graves were smoking with blue smoke, flattered and overwhelmed. This matter also spread quickly.

Today, he had just arrived here and felt the monster causing trouble, so he solved it casually. Just as he was about to leave, someone made his eyes light up.

I saw Daoist Master Yang Ci slowly walking to Li Chen and Zhu Zhuying, stroking his beard with the demeanor of an expert from outside the world, and said, "Young man, I see your bones are strange. At a glance, I know you are a genius for cultivation. I wonder if you are interested in following this old man to cultivate?"

As soon as Daoist Master Yang Ci's voice fell, the countless gazes looking here were all filled with jealousy and fantasy.

Who was Daoist Master Yang Ci? One of the few Sage Realm powerhouses in the southern kingdoms. Even the King of the Ta Sha Kingdom, the 'Little Tian Ce' who had been in the limelight recently, had to treat this powerhouse as a guest of honor.

For no other reason, in this world, strength was respected. The addition of a Sage Realm powerhouse was enough to give a country greater confidence in diplomacy.

What was a Sage Realm powerhouse? The most top-tier existence on the human continent!

"Are you kidding?" Li Chen said with an indifferent face.

What level are you, and you're taking me to cultivate? Are you here to be funny?

"Hey, kid, do you feel very surprised? Can't believe this is reality."

Daoist Master Yang Ci thought Li Chen was scared by his appreciation, felt his strength was low, and was a bit terrified.

At Li Chen's age, Daoist Master Yang Ci naturally felt that even if his cultivation was high, it couldn't be that high.

Seeing Li Chen still 'dazed', Daoist Master Yang Ci continued: "I see you're from Tian Ce, right? You know Lord Dingtian, right? This old man once took three moves from Lord Dingtian, who has the peak of the Sage Realm in the Tian Ce Empire!"

Saying this, Daoist Master Yang Ci's face was full of pride.

What level was Lord Dingtian? He was the leader of the Dao Alliance, traveling the world, famous all over the world.

It could be said that in the surrounding area, the Sage Realm powerhouses who could beat Lord Dingtian could be counted on one's fingers.

And Lord Dingtian's strongest point was not his strength, but his reputation, gathering thousands of honors in one body.

Being able to fight such a powerhouse and not lose in three moves, Daoist Master Yang Ci definitely had to show off.

A sigh came from the crowd.

This was like a weak child taking a steel knife swung with full force by a three-hundred-pound fat man!

But Daoist Master Yang Ci's words made Li Chen full of question marks.

Lord Dingtian? This guy didn't seem to be able to take even one of my moves before!

You can take three moves from Lord Dingtian, and you dare to come and teach me? Little brother, you are truly crazy. Li Chen was amused by Daoist Master Yang Ci's words and snapped his fingers casually.

In an instant, the void cracked, the world shook, and the Great Dao immortal radiance appeared.

Daoist Master Yang Ci instantly felt the suffocating death aura rising in his heart, making it difficult for people to even breathe.

Li Chen still held back. Although Daoist Master Yang Ci was a bit presumptuous, his starting point was good for ordinary cultivators.

Being an emperor, as the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty; just give him a lesson.

Daoist Master Yang Ci didn't understand what kind of existence he had provoked at this moment. He was so scared that his knees went soft and he knelt on the ground immediately, saying in a deep voice, "I didn't know it was Your Excellency just now, please forgive me."

Thinking that he wanted to take this person as a disciple, cold sweat broke out.

The person in front of him was more than a little bit stronger than himself.

Perhaps, only Lord Dingtian could wrestle with this person.

After all, the top powerhouses that Daoist Master Yang Ci's level could think of were only Lord Dingtian.

This also shocked everyone around, and they all started to guess Li Chen's identity.

Li Chen looked at Daoist Master Yang Ci and said casually, "Taking a disciple is unnecessary. Why don't you come with me? How about I give you an official position?"

"Okay!" Daoist Master Yang Ci replied immediately.

This made Li Chen dazed. I just said it casually, you really agreed?

Saying this was just to match Daoist Master Yang Ci's taking a disciple just now. If Daoist Master Yang Ci refused tactfully, Li Chen wouldn't take it to heart, just treat it as the two of them skipping this awkwardness.

Who could have thought that Daoist Master Yang Ci would actually climb up the pole. Daoist Master Yang Ci himself didn't know that just by agreeing like this, he would be soaring in the future.

Li Chen thought to himself, at least he was a Sage Realm powerhouse, giving him a job was fine. The Tian Ce Dynasty was also in need of people, so just treat it as a special recruitment.

At the same time.

"Hahaha, Brother Chete, drink!" Li Xian raised his glass from afar and toasted Chete again.

The two looked like they were sharing the same hatred, but in fact, they were both harboring evil intentions.

Chete wanted to use Li Xian's power to put pressure on the Eternal Day Empire and create public opinion to smear Charles Shi Dan, so that the Holy See could have a legitimate reason to put pressure on Charles Shi Dan.

And what Li Xian wanted was even simpler. The Holy See behind Chete was an extremely huge force. If he could befriend it and even make it serve him, it wouldn't be impossible to fight for the position of Human Emperor.

You, the Pope, can't be afraid of Li Chen, right?

"Brother Li, you also know my purpose. I don't like to hide things. If you can help me spread some rumors in the Tian Ce Empire that my brother is colluding with the Tian Ce Emperor, and find some 'evidence' to spread, I can guarantee that the Holy See will definitely be able to be used by you in the future, even if you want to use a powerhouse at the peak of the Sage Realm, they will absolutely not refuse!"

Chete looked at Li Xian earnestly. Of course, he wanted Li Xian to help him, and he didn't want to pay a price, just giving a big picture.

As for mobilizing a powerhouse at the peak of the Sage Realm? Don't say Chete didn't have this power, his brother didn't either.

The reason why the Cardinal attacked Charles was just because the Cardinal felt that he didn't respect the Holy See. As long as he changed to a more obedient Chete, then the Cardinal's credit would be great, and he could be the Pope.

In fact, when Chete saw the Cardinal, he had to bow, let alone mobilize him.

But it didn't matter, wait until he became emperor, everything else was casual.

But Li Xian was also a person who liked to paint big pictures for others. I don't want to help, but don't think about not giving benefits!
