You kid! You don't have to be so low-key! !

After entering the palace, Changqing walked at the front of the team with a solemn expression.

Yu Qingxi, who was far behind, was looking at the black figure in the front, confused. These five great priests had been dealt with by Changqing. There should be nothing in Xingyang that could threaten Changqing now.

Ever since the army entered the city last night, Changqing has been on guard against something, and this behavior makes Yu Qingxi feel strange.

He did not keep his agreement with Changqing and stayed at the front of the army, keeping an eye on Changqing's movements.

By the time Changqing walked outside the emperor's bedroom, the sky was already bright.

Chang Qing did not let the rebel soldiers surround the emperor's bedroom. Instead, he went forward alone with an increasingly solemn expression. He sensed the presence of dozens of ordinary people in the emperor's bedroom.

But, there is one exception.

The man did not conceal his aura, and the aura, filled with bloodthirstiness and violence, rolled out of the door.

As if he sensed someone approaching, his breath carried a kind of oppression, rushing towards Changqing. Changqing stood where he was, without any movement.

He also wanted to see what the other party was like. The pressure was so strong that many soldiers nearby were oppressed to the point of vomiting blood.

Chang Qing snorted coldly and did not dodge. He just raised his hand and slashed with the sword. The pressure on the rebel soldiers disappeared invisibly, and the man in the bedroom was a little surprised by this blow.

Immediately afterwards, an even greater pressure came towards Changqing. Changqing still held out his sword. After the pressure disappeared, the two sides just confronted each other. There was no movement in the room for a long time.

Just when Chang Qing was wondering whether to break in, the door of the bedroom opened and dozens of people came out first, but their faces were gray and they looked frightened.

Judging from their clothes, they were wearing official uniforms of Xingyang State. Some of them were wearing commander's uniforms. They were probably the commanders of the Four Directional Armies who had entered the city not long ago.

These people are all officials in the court.

Looking inside again, I saw several bleeding corpses on the floor of the luxurious bedroom. The blood was still flowing, and it was obvious that they had been killed not long ago.

Those officials looked at the army outside, their eyes lit up, but then they seemed to think of something and became frightened again, without saying a word.

When all the officials came out, a eunuch's shrill voice rang out:

"Your Majesty has arrived. Why don't you kneel down and welcome him, you little bastards?"

When the voice ended, a man walked out from the door. He was wearing a black dragon robe and a golden crown on his head. He was thirty years old, and he exuded a majestic and sacred aura.

But his face was extremely creepy, with red and black scars on it, and red pupils with evil intent. He glanced at the army outside and laughed strangely.

Emperor of Xingyang Kingdom------Li Qinghe.

Every time the emperor glanced at someone, everyone felt as if they were being stared at by a demon. They all got goose bumps and the soldiers shuddered. Against the backdrop of the black imperial robe, the emperor looked like a demon.

At this time, Li Qinghe cursed: "Five pieces of trash, you took such good things, but you couldn't stop these people!"

He was talking about the five great offerings.

At this time, Yu Qingxi's trembling voice came from behind: "Brother, is this really you? How did you become like this?"

Li Qinghe looked at Yu Qingxi and laughed: "Like this? What kind of look is this? Even if I become like this, I am still the emperor of Xingyang."

"But you, leading the people to revolt and attacking the imperial city is a capital crime, changing your mother's surname is treason, and now you have sent troops to surround the imperial palace. What should be done with a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust person like you?"

Yu Qingxi also recovered from Li Qinghe's appearance and calmly refuted:

"Why am I doing this? It's for Xingyang. My brother has been busy fighting in the north these years. Have you ever visited the people? The price of grain has skyrocketed. Only one hundred coins can buy one liter of rice. There is a shortage of supplies and nearly ten million people have been displaced."

Yu Qingxi remembered something and said angrily, "A thousand miles away, there are no trees with bark, and no beasts cry. The refugees really have nothing to eat, so they even exchange their own children for food! A thousand miles of barren land, starving people fill the fields, plague is rampant, and more than half of the refugees have died."

"Those officials used the disaster relief funds to enrich themselves. When the imperial court stopped allocating funds, those officials secretly increased taxes, exploited the people, and brought disaster to the region."

"And what about you, my brother? You still insist on launching a war. For the sake of the so-called immortality, you abandon the people. What's the point of becoming such an immortal! Where do you put the way of being a king that we have learned? Where do you put it!"

After Yu Qingxi finished speaking, it seemed as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

"Hahahahaha!"

Li Qinghe held his stomach and laughed wildly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. The laughter stopped for a long time.

The smile on Li Qinghe's face turned into disbelief, and he asked, "Just for those mortal ants? You led your army to rebel. This reason is absurd, too absurd. Sister Xi, do you know what kind of opportunity I have got this time?"

Yu Qingxi smiled bitterly and said: "Just because of the so-called opportunity, Xingyang has become what it is today."

Li Qinghe said: "No, no, no, you still don't understand what I mean. Even if ten times the number of mortals in Xingyang Country died, it would not bring me this opportunity, because I have become..."

Li Qinghe paused for a moment and continued with a crazy look on his face:

"Immortal!!!"

The breath that had just suffocated everyone burst out from Li Qinghe's body and swept around.

Yu Qingxi: "Brother Emperor, you..."

Li Qinghe stared at Yu Qingxi, a smug smile appeared on his face, and said:

"Sister Xi, don't you want to know how I became like this? Now, I'll tell you!" Li Qinghe's body slowly floated up into the air, looking down at everyone.

Li Qinghe looked at Yu Qingxi and said, "A gentleman's teachings are to restrain the behavior of mortals, and naturally have no influence on immortals."

"Sister Xi, I have now obtained the power of an immortal, and my life span is endless. As long as you submit to me, I will teach you the method of becoming an immortal. From now on, the nine countries will all be Xingyang, and this world will all belong to Xingyang. We will no longer be the Li family, but the Li immortal clan! Hahaha!"

Seeing that Yu Qingxi did not answer, Li Qinghe continued:

"When you have achieved success in your cultivation, you will understand that those mortal ants are nothing more than blood food for our progress in cultivation."

Yu Qingxi's face turned pale. Overwhelmed by Li Qinghe's aura, he shook his head with difficulty.

The dissatisfaction in Li Qinghe's eyes became more intense, and his voice became gloomy:

"Since you are still stubborn and insist on associating with this blood food that is about to be kept in captivity, then I will grant your wish."

"But... before that, I will kill your subordinates one by one in front of you, suck their blood, and let you watch them die. Yes! This might be more interesting."

Yu Qingxi looked ashen, the power displayed by Li Qinghe was far beyond her understanding and control. For a moment, a deep sense of powerlessness swept over Yu Qingxi.

"Have I failed?" Yu Qingxi asked himself in his heart.

Yu Qingxi stood there, her hands clenched into fists, her body trembling. She looked at Li Qinghe, her eyes full of confusion and despair. The person she once regarded as the closest person, the passionate young man, has now become so strange and terrifying.

Li Qinghe stood aside, his eyes cold and cruel. He looked at Yu Qingxi's reaction, seeming to appreciate his victory.

Yu Qingxi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

She knew that now was not the time to be depressed and desperate. She had to find a way to deal with the crisis at hand, otherwise the whole world would face a catastrophe.

But despair spread uncontrollably. Who could contend with the power of the immortal? Those thoughts were just to comfort myself.

"呲~"

Suddenly, a sneer in the quiet environment broke the oppressive peace.

Li Qinghe turned around and shouted, "Who?"
