The Villain's Counterattack

Is my disguise so bad?

Yang Guang looked at the mess on the ground with a cold expression on his face. The two eunuchs beside him were trembling all over and had funny afro hair, but no one dared to laugh out loud. Behind him, Zhu Yuyan's eyes were flashing with an inexplicable light.

Before, Kankan had said that this person was a little weird, and that her disciple was definitely not a soft-hearted person. If she took action, she would definitely not let the owner of the Duba Mountain Villa survive. Kankan had also said that her attack would be so devastating that even an ordinary novice master would be killed if caught off guard.

However, Fang Zetao, who dominated the villa, was only knocked away. Not to mention being seriously injured or killed, he was not even slightly injured. This was why Kankan was very concerned about this person and mobilized the forces of the Yingui Sect to hunt him down and capture him alive.

Zhu Yuyan also knew a thing or two, but she didn't pay much attention to this so-called owner of the villa who only had the strength of a beginner and a poor brain. However, she was quite surprised when she saw him today. This person dared to disrespect the Sui Emperor Yang Guang, who was at the level of a half-step grandmaster, and even caused thunder from the sky with some incomprehensible actions.

Then, he chopped himself into ashes, and in the process implicated two fathers-in-law who were even stronger than him.

This person needs extra attention.

However, although Yang Guang looked cold, he did not take it seriously. He waved his hand to let Eunuch Chen and the other two leave, then turned to Zhu Yuyan to continue his deception. Although he was the Emperor of Sui, he had nominally "passed away", and it was impossible for him to continue to serve as the Emperor of Sui in the future. Not only would Yang Xiu and other elders of the Sui royal family not allow it, even Yang Xuyan would not give up.

He was not afraid of his younger brother Yang Xiu. He had been able to suppress him before, could do so now, and even in the future. But it was different for his nephew Yang Xuyan. Since Yang Xiu became a grandmaster, he would no longer have a chance. The strength of the Sui royal family in Shanglinyuan, Luoyang seemed good, but it was still far behind Liaodong.

He could not compare with Yang Xuyan, and Yang Xiu could not compete with the grandmaster Yang Xuangan, and it was more likely that Pei Ju's beloved minister (Shi Zhixuan) would stand on the other side than behind him. What's more, he had received a secret piece of information that Song Que had also become a grandmaster under his oppression, and his combat power was even higher than that of Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan, and Fu Cailin.

The news that the Duke of Liao was about to marry Song Yuhua, the eldest daughter of the head of the Song clan, and Dong Shuni, the niece of Wang Shichong of Luoyang, had already spread throughout the world, and the date was only a short while away. This news caused an uproar among all forces in the world.

Liaodong's combat power was originally the best in the world. Marrying Pei Ju's beloved daughter was nothing. Pei Ju held a high position but did not represent any big power. However, Song Que and Wang Shichong were different. One of them dominated Lingnan and the other was in charge of Luoyang. They were definitely the leaders of the top five forces in the world.

Yang Guang had to bow his head under the eaves, but as the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he would be a ghost king even if he "died". Since he could not be the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, he might as well be the emperor of the rivers and lakes. If he could do it, he could also become a grandmaster and even go down in history.

Let’s not talk about the deep cooperation between Yang Guang and Zhu Yuyan, but let’s say that deep in the Chang’an Palace, Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty wiped his hands and threw down a bright yellow handkerchief, which fluttered and fell on the face of the corpse on the ground.

The corpse's eyes were wide open and blood was flowing from all seven orifices, as if he died with his eyes open. He really couldn't understand why he reported such secrets to Emperor Li Yuan, but was met with a catastrophe.

"I don't want anyone else to know about this." Li Yuan's voice was cold and indifferent. A light nod came from behind him, and a ghostly figure swayed. Muffled groans and screams were heard around him, and in the blink of an eye, silence returned.

Li Yuan's gaze fell on the corpse on the ground, and he turned and left the room that exuded a faint smell of blood. "Let's deal with it together. By the way, tell Erlang that this is a spy with ulterior motives towards the Tang Dynasty. I have eliminated him on his behalf. Tell him to be careful of these outsiders with unknown backgrounds in the future."

Li Yuan believed that he knew Yang Guang's cousin quite well. His intelligence was definitely above his own. Perhaps it was because of this that he ended up in his current situation.

Sometimes seeing things too clearly is not a good thing. The real world is full of despair, and it is not easy to break through it. What does it matter if you are against the mainstream of the world, even if you are right?

He only believed half of the news brought by Fang Zetao. It was still very credible that Yang Guang was not dead. The death of Shibi Khan was by no means accidental. The Turks were defeated again most likely by him. The robbery of Tongguan really made him very uncomfortable. This kind of vision was also within his ability.

He couldn't even imagine giving up the throne to unify the martial arts world and bring it under the management of the court, but it wouldn't be surprising if it was his cousin. However, he wouldn't believe that he would send the Li family members to the Turks as slaves.

Li Yuan understood Yang Guang, and Yang Guang understood Li Yuan as well. The Li clan had originally been stationed in Jinyang to fight against the Turks, and they had frequent conflicts with the Turks. It was only after they raised the banner of rebellion that they began to befriend the Turks in exchange for the opportunity to enter Guanzhong. As for the fall of the thirty-nine cities in Yanmen Commandery, it had little to do with him. It could even be said that the Li clan played an indispensable role in preventing the Turks from invading Hebei.

He did not take the initiative to rescue the emperor, but just took advantage of the situation to express his dissatisfaction. However, Yang Guang would not believe that he actively colluded with the Turks and allowed them to enter the pass to harm the Han people.

The reason why Fang Zetao said this was either to deliberately intimidate himself, or Yang Guang pretended to be cruel to intimidate Zhu Yuyan. I think the latter is more likely. Fang Zetao is not brave enough to deceive himself. After all, it is not difficult to investigate such information.

However, given my cousin Yang Guang's self-centered personality, there must be people around him who can suppress him, otherwise it would be impossible for him to easily agree to give up the throne. Even at that time, when the world was in chaos and rebellions were everywhere, and I had already occupied Chang'an in Guanzhong, he was forced to retreat to Jiangdu.

If he was really at the end of his rope, his only outcome would be destruction. However, in the end, King Yang Xiu of Shu emerged as a rising star. The many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who were skilled in martial arts and could ward off evil spirits shocked Li Yuan greatly. The strength of the imperial guards who remained loyal to the royal family was also shocking.

These could definitely not be the work of his cousin Yang Guang. It was impossible for him to hide such a big trump card and not use it, and willingly give up the throne. The only explanation is that there were masters around him who secretly cultivated these forces, hiding them from him on the one hand and forcing him to fake his death to escape on the other.

But his cousin Yang Guang, unwilling to give up, resolutely embarked on another path to become king after losing the throne, that is, to unify the world!

He said that Jingnian Zen Temple was destroyed by him, which was not impossible. According to the information he had received, in addition to the unknown master who snatched the Heshi Bi that day, the real attackers were the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, the Queen of Yin Zhu Yuyan, and Yang Xuangan, who had become a grandmaster at some point in his life.

Cihang Jingzhai dared to openly present the Heshi Bi, also known as the Imperial Seal, and Li Yuan had no doubt that his cousin Yang Guang would seize it. This action by Jingnian Zen Monastery and Cihang Jingzhai was a death wish. Not only Yang Guang, but even Li Yuan himself wished to annihilate them all without a single survivor.

How could such a treasure of human destiny be controlled by a mere Jianghu sect? Not to mention that you are not a native sect, but an alien sect.

He knew the meaning behind Cihang Jingzhai's choice to support Erlang. It was just that Li Tang was not yet strong enough to ignore everything, otherwise these little nuns with ulterior motives would definitely be in trouble. On the contrary, he could understand his cousin Yang Guang's thoughts and actions.

"The Hebei family and the Buddhist forces are really a group of short-sighted villains. Cousin, I support you." Li Yuan sat on the dragon throne, raised his glass and toasted Yang Guang from a distance. Wherever his eyes went, there was emptiness, and he suddenly felt a little empty and lonely.

"Liaodong, Hebei, Luoyang, Tongguan, if I'm not mistaken, Sichuan and Shu are also under your control, cousin, you are still so domineering and will not tolerate others to disobey. If the death of Yu Wenzhi is also your handiwork, then what is your relationship with those two guys Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling?" The more Li Yuan thought about it, the colder he felt all over. As the saying goes, invisible imagination is the most terrifying. Li Yuan made a comparison between the time when Yang Guang came to Jiangdu and the rise of Shuanglong, and imagined a million words of plot in his mind. Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Duke Liao married Song Que's eldest daughter. Does this mean that the Song clan has secretly surrendered to you?" Among the four major clans, the overall strength of the Li clan is definitely one of the best, but the top masters cannot compare with the Song clan. The most critical person is Song Que. Originally, Li Yuan thought that with Fan Qinghui from Cihang Jingzhai around, Song Que would not be able to make any waves. But if Song Que was not the leader, would Fan Qinghui's role be so huge?
