Chapter 107

Wu Dynasty!

Shendu!

In the Imperial Palace.

Empress Wu Zhao looked at the God and Demon List in the sky, a trace of shock flashing across her face.

"What preparations did Yuan Li Tiangang make!"

"He is actually not dead yet!"

"Back then, didn't that great fire burn him and those of the Li Tang royal family to ashes!"

"Minister Di, you personally inspected the ruins after the fire!"

"Did you find any omissions!"

Di Di Renjie, upon hearing this, hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, that great fire indeed burned the Imperial Observatory where the Unofficial Men were located to the ground!"

"I was indeed at the scene and saw the unburned fish-bladder sword bag, which was indeed the sword bag Yuan Li Tiangang wore daily."

"However, I have always been skeptical about whether Yuan Li Tiangang's body was there!"

Wu Zhao nodded slowly and said: "It seems my worries were correct!"

"Yuan Li Tiangang is a man who hides his true self!"

"The fact that he can make this God and Demon List is the best proof!"

"To think he was a direct disciple of the Taiping Dao Master who supported the Great Han Dragon Court over two hundred years ago!"

"He managed the Unofficial Men for over twenty years; he must have many hidden moves."

"He faked his death to escape; it must be to help Li Tang make a comeback!"

"How can I let him have his way!"

"Minister Di, you must carefully screen the Unofficial Men under your command again to prevent infiltration by Yuan Li Tiangang!"

Di Di Renjie bowed and said: "Yes! Your Majesty!"

Great Han.

Dingyuan City.

In that restaurant.

At this time.

It was in an uproar.

Everyone in the restaurant looked at the God and Demon List in the sky.

Seeing Zhang Zhang Sanfeng make the list first, they were all shocked.

Zhang Zhang Sanfeng was famous throughout the Great Ming; there were few martial artists in the Nine Provinces who hadn't heard of him.

Now, seeing Zhang Zhang Sanfeng be the first to make this God and Demon List.

The crowd of onlookers spoke up one after another.

"Zhang Zhang Sanfeng, Land Immortal, Seventh Grade realm!"

"Yet he can only rank at the very bottom of this God and Demon List!"

"This God and Demon List is too strong!"

"Nonsense!"

"Otherwise, why would it be called the God and Demon List?"

"Those are figures comparable to gods and demons!"

Old Huang, sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, heard the onlookers' discussion and smiled at Li Li Changsheng: "Sir, I've heard of this Zhang Zhang Sanfeng before!"

"I didn't expect Zhang Zhang Sanfeng to be so powerful."

"Land Immortal, Seventh Grade realm!"

"That is definitely a top-three Land Immortal."

"When will I, Old Huang, be able to step into the Land Immortal realm!"

"Let me, Old Huang, show off a bit too!"

Li Li Changsheng smiled: "Old Huang, as long as you practice for another ten years, you'll be about there."

Old Huang's eyes widened: "Another ten years?"

"Then I, Old Huang, will be nearly seventy!"

Li Li Changsheng smiled: "Zhang Zhang Sanfeng was a heaven-sent genius who, relying on his own insights, only stepped into the Land Immortal realm at sixty!"

"You, Old Huang, following me, Li Li Changsheng, stepping into the Land Immortal realm at seventy is not slow at all!"

Old Huang smiled bitterly: "Sir, it seems my talent is just too poor."

Li Li Changsheng smiled without a word.

At this time.

Another person appeared on the God and Demon List in the sky.

This person was actually the former Great Tang Imperial Preceptor, Yuan Li Tiangang!

This immediately ignited the whole place!

The onlookers in the restaurant looked at Yuan Li Tiangang, who had just made the list, and spoke up one after another.

"Good heavens!"

"Yuan Li Tiangang!"

"This is an incredible figure!"

"Back then, the Great Tang Dynasty was at its peak!"

"How majestic was the Heavenly Khan, Li Li Shimin!"

"The fame of the Great Tang was not a bit inferior to the Great Han Dynasty!"

"But who would have thought that the Great Tang Dynasty, at its zenith, would plummet after its peak!"

"Li Li Shimin died of illness, the Empress rose to power, and the Wu Dynasty replaced Li Tang!"

"The Li Tang royal family was slaughtered by the Empress!"

"The Empress ruled for thirty years, changing the world, and the Wu Dynasty has now become a dynasty no weaker than the Great Tang at its peak."

"Rumor has it that Yuan Li Tiangang once predicted that the Empress would replace Li Tang!"

"He is truly a god-like man!"

"I don't know if it's true or false!"

"Of course it's true!"

"Didn't you see!"

"Yuan Li Tiangang was a direct disciple of the Taiping Dao Master of our Great Han Dynasty!"

"What kind of figure was the Taiping Dao Master? He was a legendary figure who single-handedly supported the Great Han Dragon Court and allowed our Great Han Emperor to extend his life by two hundred years!"

"Rumor has it that when our Great Han Emperor Wu was critically ill, he begged the Taiping Dao Master, who set up an altar and used magic to borrow two hundred more years of life from Heaven for our Great Han Emperor Wu!"

"That scene was truly spectacular!"

"Emperor Wu's ability to live until now is all thanks to the Taiping Dao Master; on the day the Taiping Dao Master ascended, Emperor Wu personally went to the Taiping Dao to see him off!"

"The Taiping Dao Master was so powerful, and Yuan Li Tiangang, as his direct disciple!"

"And with the ambition to imitate the Taiping Dao Master, you tell me if he is powerful or not!"

For a time.

The onlookers in the restaurant were discussing it in a hubbub.

At this time.

The introduction about Yuan Li Tiangang on the God and Demon List in the sky continued!

[Yuan Li Tiangang planted secret agents within the Unofficial Men and then used a great fire to fake his death!]

[Making the world believe he was dead!]

[In fact, he had long escaped and established a secret organization — the Hidden Heaven Pavilion!]

[He was grateful for Li Li Shimin's appreciation and was loyal to the Li Tang royal family, determined to overthrow the Wu Dynasty established by the Empress and restore the rule of the Li Tang Dynasty.]

[He established the Hidden Heaven Pavilion in Hidden Heaven Valley; over these thirty years, he adopted many orphans and trained them into experts.]

[Those orphans who could enter the Hidden Heaven Pavilion had a minimum cultivation of the Grandmaster realm!]

[And those who didn't enter the Hidden Heaven Pavilion were also planted by Yuan Li Tiangang throughout the Wu Dynasty, lying in wait!]

[He also recruited soldiers and horses, secretly controlling many gangs in the Wu Dynasty's martial arts world!]

[All for the sake of one day destroying the Wu Dynasty and restoring the Great Tang Dynasty!]

[Of course, the reason Yuan Li Tiangang worked so hard and painstakingly to restore the Li Tang Dynasty was also because of his guilt toward Li Li Shimin!]

[Back then, Li Li Shimin had just passed the age of knowing destiny and felt his health was not good, so he asked Yuan Li Tiangang if he could refine a miraculous elixir for life extension!]

[Yuan Li Tiangang was full of confidence at the time, feeling that he had received the true teachings of his master, the Taiping Dao Master; refining an elixir for ten or twenty years of life extension was not enough to show his ability, so he wanted to refine an elixir of immortality!]

[To let Li Li Shimin live forever, unify the Nine Provinces and the vast world, and become the supreme ruler!]

[And Yuan Li Tiangang was destined to be famous throughout the ages because of this!]
