Chapter 149

"What are the people of the Illusion Sound Workshop doing?"

"They were so fierce just a moment ago, why did they kneel?"

"Nonsense, once a martial artist cultivates to the Grandmaster realm, they can suppress others with their aura alone!"

"The Martial God's strength is peerless; for these women to try and attack the Martial God is simply laughable!"

The Illusion Sound Workshop and the gathered heroes were whispering among themselves.

The looks they gave Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen were filled with horror.

The Illusion Sound Workshop was also a hegemon in the Southwest Circuit.

But at this moment, they were easily suppressed by Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen.

Too fierce.

"Let, let them go!"

The Empress struggled.

But she found that she could not break free from Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen at all.

The temperature radiating from the hands on her waist made the Empress feel even more flustered.

She had never had such close, intimate contact with a man.

For a moment, she actually displayed the demeanor of a young girl.

"Rest assured, this young master will not touch them!"

"However, do you remember what this young master said?"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen teased.

The Empress was indeed a beauty.

Upon hearing this, the Empress frowned slightly, recalling what Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen had said when she was disguised as a man.

He had come here just to see her.

If she were ugly, he would teach her a lesson.

If she were beautiful, he would make her his handmaiden.

Was this guy serious?

But wasn't he here because of the imperial court?

For a moment, the Empress could not discern Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen's true purpose.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen did not play by the rules, and his behavior was completely unfathomable.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

The Empress was annoyed.

She had never felt as stifled as she did today.

"That is not important. What is important is, do you want to be my handmaiden?"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen looked at the Empress, seeing that she was about to speak.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen reached out and pressed his hand directly onto the Empress's lips, saying:

"You had better think clearly before you speak. I am the type of person who cannot control myself once I am rejected."

"I might just destroy this Illusion Sound Workshop!"

"Or perhaps, I don't know what I might do to you?"

Upon hearing this, the Empress's expression sank once more.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen was truly an overbearing man; he wouldn't even give her the right to refuse?

A handmaiden?

She, a dignified Empress, was to become a handmaiden?

Her first reaction was definitely to refuse.

But she dared not refuse.

The Five Great Yama Kings had been slapped to death in one blow.

If Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen were to get angry, destroying the Illusion Sound Workshop would be as simple as crushing an ant.

One would never know Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen's terror without actually fighting him.

And once a fight started, it would be endless despair.

"Let the people of the Illusion Sound Workshop go, and I will be your handmaiden."

In the end, the Empress compromised.

As long as she was alive, she had hope.

Surrender first, then find Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen's weakness.

"From now on, this Illusion Sound Workshop is under the protection of me, Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen!"

"Whoever dares to cause trouble in the Illusion Sound Workshop is showing disrespect to this young master!"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen smiled.

Everything was proceeding according to his plan.

With so many people in the Illusion Sound Workshop, he believed news of him subduing it would soon spread throughout the martial arts world.

As for whether the Illusion Sound Workshop was truly submissive, did that matter?

What mattered was whether the imperial court believed it or not.

Anyone who becomes an Emperor is prone to paranoia.

Regardless of whether it was true, the Illusion Sound Workshop would surely become a thorn in the Emperor's side.

As his voice fell, the gathered heroes were shocked.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen had subdued the Illusion Sound Workshop without drawing a blade?

From now on, the master of this place had changed?

"You, you are a devil...!"

"Do you really think the Emperor will believe this?"

"Will he release your master because of this?"

Seeing this scene before her, the Empress finally understood.

Her becoming a handmaiden—was this to make her a hostage?

To use this to threaten the Emperor into releasing Huang Huang Yaoshi?

Or even to sow discord between the Illusion Sound Workshop and the imperial court.

How could an ordinary person come up with such a vicious plan?

Moreover, even if they could think of it, they wouldn't have the strength to execute it.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen was simply a devil.

"Believe it or not, who cares?"

"I only know that from now on, you will follow me!"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen patted the Empress's bottom, causing her face to flush red once again.

"What did you say?"

"Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen subdued the Illusion Sound Workshop? Then what about Li Li Maozhen?"

The Forbidden City.

Emperor Emperor Emperor Wenlong received the news from Cao Cao Zhengchun, a hint of displeasure appearing between his brows.

Not only had the imperial court failed to achieve its goal with the bounty on Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen.

But they had instead let Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen subdue the Illusion Sound Workshop?

He could not believe this at all.

"I heard that Li Li Maozhen has defected to Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen and become his handmaiden."

Cao Cao Zhengchun replied.

"How is that possible!"

"Li Li Maozhen is extremely arrogant; how could she become a handmaiden?"

"She wouldn't even be willing to be the Emperor's handmaiden!"

The Emperor's voice was majestic.

He understood Li Li Maozhen; her nature was extremely haughty.

Although she was a woman, she possessed a pride and dignity that did not lose to any man.

She would never easily submit to anyone.

Even back then, when the Emperor wanted to take her as a concubine, he was rejected.

How could she possibly become Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen's handmaiden?

Wouldn't that mean Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen was even more noble than the Emperor?

"The scouts report that the Illusion Sound Workshop did not suffer a single casualty."

"And the Empress became his handmaiden without even fighting Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen."

"Could it be that she had rebellious intentions all along?"

Cao Cao Zhengchun added fuel to the fire.

There were too many talented people around Emperor Emperor Emperor Wenlong.

Having fewer would better demonstrate his own value.

"Marquis Marquis Zhuge, what is your take on this?"

Emperor Emperor Emperor Wenlong looked at Marquis Zhuge Zhuge Wuwu.

"This is Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen's declaration of war against the imperial court."

"I fear this is only the beginning."

"Why not release Huang Huang Yaoshi?"

Marquis Zhuge Zhuge Wuwu voiced his concerns.

What kind of person is the most terrifying?

Undoubtedly, it is the one who has nothing to lose.

The imperial court had already sent people to Peach Blossom Island again, but even with the Yin-Yang School involved.

Peach Blossom Island seemed to have vanished into thin air.

It could no longer be found.

This undoubtedly left Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen with no worries behind him.

Aside from Huang Huang Yaoshi, the imperial court could no longer find any leverage against Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen.

But Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen could strike at the imperial court without restraint.

This time it was the Illusion Sound Workshop; where would it be next?

It would be better to release Huang Huang Yaoshi and let everything return to peace.

"Marquis Marquis Zhuge, are you suggesting that our imperial court is afraid of a martial artist?"

Zhu Zhu Wushi sneered.

If they released Huang Huang Yaoshi, what would happen to the court's face?

If word spread to the martial arts world, wouldn't it be a joke?

"This is not fear, but for the sake of the Nine Provinces."

"It could also demonstrate Your Majesty's magnanimity, and we could even offer Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen an official post."

Marquis Zhuge Zhuge Wuwu proposed.

"But he has already rejected the court's recruitment."

Zhu Zhu Wushi countered.

Seeing his two great Marquises confronting each other.

Emperor Emperor Emperor Wenlong's expression grew even gloomier.

"Now, I am asking how to deal with the Illusion Sound Workshop and Li Li Maozhen."

Emperor Emperor Emperor Wenlong said.

However, everyone had different opinions.

Some believed that betrayal should be met with death.

But others thought perhaps the Empress was coerced, and Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen was sowing discord.

If the court took action against the Illusion Sound Workshop, it might truly chill the Empress's heart.

And even chill the hearts of others serving the court.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen, this move was ruthless enough.

"Zhu Zhu Wushi, this matter is handed to your Protector Dragon Villa to handle!"

Finally, Emperor Emperor Emperor Wenlong made his decision.

Tongwen Hall.

Located in the northwest.

Its master, titled the Holy Lord, was recruiting soldiers and buying horses.

It had the momentum to unify the northwest.

But at this moment, inside Tongwen Hall.

The Holy Lord Li Li Siyuan showed a look of worry.

"Big brother, I've seen you looking unhappy these past few days."

"Is there something troubling you?"

Li Li Sizhao couldn't help but ask.

His elder brother was resourceful and the master of Tongwen Hall.

Under his leadership over the years, Tongwen Hall had grown increasingly strong.

It had the momentum to unify the northwest.

If that day ever came, he would surely be enfeoffed as a King, with a boundless future.

But these past few days, he had been restless.
