I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 76 The Empress's Reverse Scale
Although Lai Yang has successfully survived the foundation-building tribulation and mastered some of the power of heavenly thunder.

But unfortunately, he was not able to create a foundation-building technique for people to practice by integrating his insights into the techniques.

The reason why he was able to successfully build a foundation and break through was entirely due to his excellent quality and his extremely powerful internal strength.

If an ordinary person were to try to learn how to build a foundation and break through, he would surely die!
Not to mention using internal force to capture the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, just the fact that he uses internal force to directly impact the closed acupoints and meridians in the body can directly destroy the foundation of more than 99% of martial artists. The risk is too great.

It is because Lai Yang is a cheater, his vitality and internal strength are far beyond that of a fifth-grade martial arts grandmaster of the same realm due to the improvement of the system, otherwise he would definitely be killed by himself.

Since there is no shortcut to cultivating immortality, then use the dumbest method.

Forcibly absorb a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, allowing it to flow through every meridian, every acupoint, every bone, and every part of flesh and blood in the body.

Facts have proved that he did the right thing and successfully brought about the foundation-building tribulation.

He's such a genius.

Lai Yang returned to the Great Yan Imperial City.

Mo Ruyan was almost turned evil because his men hadn't been able to find the person for three days.

Even those who were doing tricks behind her back were killed by her in batches, and heads rolled down the execution ground in the imperial city every day.

Mo Ruyan sat on the dragon throne. Her pair of smart and beautiful eyes looked very scary at this moment, and she exuded a strong aura and coldness.

In the court, all the ministers were afraid of bringing bad luck upon themselves, so they lowered their heads and said nothing, like quails.

No one expected that because of Lai Yang's disappearance, Mo Ruyan would suddenly become so terrifying.

She had always been easy to talk to. Even if someone contradicted her in the court, they would generally not be killed as long as they did not make a mistake of principle.

But in recent days, several officials who made mistakes have been dragged away and killed, and they can feel that Mo Ruyan's murderous intent seems to be getting stronger and stronger.

In the past, they were afraid of Lai Yang's strength and did not dare to do many things too excessively.

Now that Lai Yang is missing, they have discovered that their Empress is not simple at all. When she becomes ruthless, she is even more terrifying than Yan Chengtian.

It was not until this moment that they realized that Lai Yang's existence was not to protect Mo Ruyan, but to protect them!
Because when he is around, she is a gentle empress, at least not so ruthless.

There have been many deaths in the imperial city these days. Many people who spread rumors behind the scenes had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated, and their entire families were wiped out overnight.

It's so scary.

"Why are you all silent?"

Mo Ruyan glanced at everyone coldly and asked indifferently.

Everyone's heart trembled, and they hurriedly lowered their presence.

"I wonder if you have heard the rumors in the city recently."

"Some say that King Bing Jian angered the heavens and was punished by divine thunder."

"Some people say that I, a hen crowing at dawn, brought chaos to the court and thus incurred the wrath of Heaven."

"Whatever you think, please share it with me."

Every word Mo Ruyan said was like a knife hanging over everyone's head, making them feel suffocated.

Say? Talk shit.

If one of them says something wrong, their heads will have to move.

"Your Majesty, this is nonsense. The people are ignorant and are spreading rumors. Don't believe them."

"Your Majesty is wise. Those who spread rumors are worthy of death. I am willing to help Your Majesty catch the person behind this."

"Your Majesty, I think this is not possible. It's hard to silence the whims of the world. Now is the time to demonstrate the magnanimity of our Mowu Dynasty. As the saying goes, rumors stop at the wise. We must not resort to violence."

"It's obvious that someone is spreading rumors and slander behind this, yet you are preventing His Majesty from investigating this matter. What are your intentions? Could it be that you are the one behind this rumor?" "How dare you, a mere bastard, frame me."

"I think you have something to hide!"

Everyone started arguing, their faces red, and they were saying all sorts of things.

"That's enough, shut up, how can you keep making such a fuss?" Mo Ruyan shouted angrily.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.

"Don't rush to argue. I'll let you meet a few people first and bring them up." Mo Ruyan waved her hand.

Afterwards, two silver-armored soldiers brought four people into the hall. Their bodies and faces were covered with various wounds, as if they had suffered inhuman torture, and they looked miserable.

Everyone looked at the four men in confusion, and the court officials who knew them suddenly changed their expressions, with fear in their eyes.

The four of them knelt in the middle of the hall and kowtowed to Mo Ruyan: "Your Majesty, the Empress, is here to pay your respects."

"Zhao Siqi, do you know them?" Mo Ruyan did not look at the four people, but turned to look at one of the court officials and asked calmly.

The courtier who was named was startled and shook his head in panic, denying: "Your Majesty, I don't know them."

"Don't know them? Then why were they seen leaving your house? You seem very dissatisfied with me and the King of Sides. Do you think that a woman like me is unworthy of sitting on this throne? I can forgive your private disrespect to me, but you slandered and insulted the King of Sides, and you are guilty of death." Mo Ruyan slightly bent her right index finger, gently supporting the side of her face. Her beautiful eyes became increasingly indifferent, with a biting coldness. "Come here, drag him away and execute him by slow slicing."

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards entered the hall and immediately captured the minister named Zhao Siqi.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am innocent. I am innocent!"

"Mo Ruyan, you are not worthy of your position. You are not worthy of being the emperor. You are a traitor to the country. Your whole family is a traitor to the country. You will not die a good death!"

Zhao Siqi knew that he could not escape the death penalty, and he became furious and cursed loudly.

"Let all his nine clansmen go down with him." Mo Ruyan said lightly.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp, a hint of fear flashing across their faces. It was too cruel!
He was the only one who was going to die, and now, because of his bad mouth, all his nine clans are dead.

However, Mo Ruyan didn't seem to intend to stop there. Her eyes fell on a minister who was pale with fear.

The pale-faced minister sensed Mo Ruyan's gaze and couldn't help but collapse to the ground, feeling a strong sense of regret in his heart.

Mo Ruyan was about to speak up when a spy suddenly ran in from outside the palace and shouted respectfully, "Your Majesty, the King of Sides has returned."

Mo Ruyan suddenly stood up from the dragon throne, her pretty face changed, and she asked excitedly: "Where is the person? Tell me quickly."

"Our men saw King Bingjian enter the harem," the spy replied.

Mo Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned to leave, but then she thought of everyone else. She turned back to look at the four people who were still kneeling and said calmly, "Take the people back and leave the court."

After saying that, Mo Ruyan did not hesitate any longer, and quickly left the hall and returned to the harem to look for Lai Yang.

At this time, Lai Yang changed into new clothes.

His previous set of clothes was turned into ashes by thunder. On the way, he just put on some clothes at random and almost came back naked.

He was just about to find Mo Ruyan to share the good news of his breakthrough with her.

"Lai Yang!" A familiar and pleasant voice sounded.

Suddenly, Lai Yang saw Mo Ruyan running in from outside and pounced on him with an excited look.

Lai Yang caught her and saw her crying in his arms, looking so delicate and pitiful. He couldn't help but feel distressed.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
