I quit the sect and became a demon cultivator. Master and Sister kneel down to beg for forgiveness.

The day before the grand event of climbing the tower.

Li Gan, a minor official from the Zongzhengfu, came to the mansion.

"Your Highness, tomorrow is the grand ceremony of ascending the tower. I am here to inform you on the orders of the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Clan, Lord Li."

Li Gan stepped into the Sixth Prince's Mansion for the first time and looked reserved.

"Master Li, please sit down and have some tea!"

Li Changqing gave an order. He remembered Li Gan, who was the one who came to pick him up on the first day of entering Shendu.

Li Changqing still remembers the strength he showed when beating Chen Qian. Although he looked kind on the outside, he was a ruthless person at heart.

"This is my first time attending the Dengque Immortal Tower event. Is there anything I should be aware of?"

Knowing the purpose of the visit, Li Changqing went straight to the point and kept looking at Li Gan out of the corner of his eyes.

"According to common sense, from the first floor to the ninth floor, anyone who has the ability can ascend. During the process, you cannot use magical tools, and you cannot summon guardians!"

Li Gan thanked him and told the truth.

"Can't use magic tools, can't summon guardians?"

Li Changqing frowned. His trump cards happened to be the Dragon King Cauldron and Bai Ji, which made the situation a bit tricky.

There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital. Princes like Li Mo who linger in the brothels are all in the realm of divine wandering. There must be masters among other disciples of the royal family!

"If you use a magical weapon to summon a guardian, then the test is not your own ability, but the power behind you!"

Li Gan smiled lightly, "The Ascending Tower Association is for those with talent to receive the Dragon's Roar to cleanse their meridians. It requires one's own strength!"

"Master Li, what about the rules?"

Li Changqing observed Li Gan's expression and felt that he wanted to make friends with him. He also heard that there was something behind his words, so he asked him seriously.

Li Gan heard about what Li Changqing had done these days and witnessed his style in the Zongzheng Mansion, and he admired him very much.

In the capital of God, there has not been a prince as passionate as Li Changqing for many years. He either clings to a certain force or stirs up trouble.

Or, like him, you can keep your tail between your legs and be cautious in the turbulent capital of God, not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes.

Li Gan was also a member of the royal family and had Li family blood flowing in his veins. That day in the Zongzheng Mansion, his blood was boiling and he almost cried out in shock.

"Climbing the tower depends on strength. This applies to members of the royal family other than the prince. For the prince, there is another passage in Quexian Tower, which is specially prepared for the prince. He can ascend to the ninth floor without participating in the battle!"

Li Gan told Li Changqing everything he knew, revealing everything he knew about the Denglou Society. "Moreover, different forces are taking the opportunity to suppress us, and casualties are inevitable!"

"I shouldn't be in this passage, right?"

Li Changqing immediately understood that these powerful people were best at using shady tricks behind the scenes.

Casualties are inevitable. Isn't this a perfect opportunity to eliminate dissidents? The people who suffer the loss can't say anything!

"As His Highness expected, you will need to compete with other members of the royal family for a vacant spot on the celestial level of Quexian Tower. If you are capable, it will be yours. If you lose, it will belong to someone else!"

After Li Gan finished speaking, he carefully observed Li Zhangqing's expression.

"Haha, I guess so. If I die, the worst that can happen to God is that he will lose a prince!"

Li Changqing has fought for many years and understands one thing: injustice is the common sense of the world. What you need to do is use your fists to bring the so-called justice to your side.

"Then I'll fight from the first floor to the ninth floor. I'm afraid no one will question it then!"

Li Gan's face was filled with excitement when he heard this. He stood up and saluted, "Your Highness's courage is something I deeply admire!"

Li Changqing waved his hand, "Lord Li, there's no need to flatter me. I know everything about the Climbing Meeting, Changle!"

Liu Changle understood that he needed to give him some hard-earned money.

Li Gan stood up and declined. Li Fang gave him this opportunity to contact Li Changqing, and he had to seize it firmly.

Hearing the intention of seeing the guest off, Li Gan did not leave. Instead, he knelt on the ground and clasped his fists.

Such an action may be abrupt, but if he doesn't do it, he may never have another chance.

"Your Highness, I admire your courage and wisdom. If I can ever be of use to you, I will be happy to serve you!"

Li Changqing raised his hand and gestured.

"Among all the princes, my power is the weakest, or even none at all. Why do you want to follow me?"

Li Gan mustered up his courage and said, "I have neither strength nor a strong background. Even if I surrender to some powerful person, I will only be an ordinary pawn and will not be valued!"

Li Changqing laughed out loud, "So, you want to join me and take a gamble?"

"I'm taking in people that others won't take in? To put it bluntly, am I a garbage collector?"

Li Gan's face turned cold, a sense of humiliation surged over him, and he said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, Li Gan is not trash!"

"If you work contentedly as a minor official, you'll be promoted in ten or twenty years, and you'll be able to support your family and live a peaceful life. It won't be difficult!"

"But if a man does nothing in this world, wouldn't his life be in vain? I'm taking a gamble!"

"Oh? Bet your luck is good enough?"

Li Changqing said coldly, "As you said, you have no strength and no background, why should I accept you!"

"I'm betting on my own vision and my absolute confidence in His Highness. If I lose, I'll die with no regrets!"

Li Gan made up his mind, "No one understands your Highness's thoughts, and I don't need to understand them either. I will just follow your lead!"

"This humble official has not been exposed to advanced martial arts, nor does he possess a strong background, but with this vision and courage, am I worthy of serving His Highness?"

"Master Li, let me tell you something. The people who follow me don't need any background. I am their background!"

Li Changqing's expression was calm. "He doesn't even need strength. I will make him strong!"

Li Gan's pupils contracted. "If others say so, I don't believe it. But if Your Highness says so, I believe it!"

"Just stay in the Zongzheng Mansion and I will use you when the time is right!" said Li Changqing.

Li Gan trembled all over, and understood what he meant. "I will keep an eye on the movements of the Divine Capital in the Zongzheng Palace and await your Highness's order!"

Li Changqing waved his hand, "Let's go back, Changle?"

Liu Changle personally escorted Li Gan out of the mansion and gave him the hard work fee. "Since you are His Highness's man, you should take this money!"

Li Gan took it, bowed and said goodbye, and walked with the wind, looking at the sky above the capital, full of confidence!

After returning, "Your Highness, Li Gan seems to be speculating. Is this person reliable?" Liu Changle asked.

"The people around the strong are all reliable, because no one can give them more. Even if it's speculation, they tend to favor the strong. If I were a weakling, betrayal would be natural!"

Li Changqing didn't mind at all.

"How many powerful people are there in the world? Less than 20%. What will happen if we bring 80% of the frustrated people into our fold?"

"Those who are frustrated know how to cherish things more. Your Highness is a man of great talent!"

Liu Changle understood this deeply. Wasn’t he just one of the millions of frustrated people?

……

The second day, Quexian Tower.

Li Changqing stood out in the crowd because he was the only prince in the group, which attracted a lot of whispers.

"Humph, so what if he's a prince? He's still competing with us for a seat!"

"For this reason alone, the Emperor doesn't care about the Sixth Prince at all. The other five princes are probably drinking tea, waiting for the grand ceremony to begin, and then ascend to the ninth floor to receive the Dragon's Roar cleansing of their meridians!"

Li Biao was not far away, passing through the crowd and casting a sharp gaze at him, "Do you understand what the Fifth Prince means?"

"Brother Biao, I understand. There are only a few places on the ninth floor, and we have never been one. It's worth it to be able to squeeze Li Changqing out!"

A moment later, someone announced, "Let's go upstairs!"

All the royal family members swarmed forward.

Elsewhere, the five princes gathered together for a rare occasion. They all had smiles on their faces, but there were daggers hidden behind their smiles.

Li Mo still looked like a playboy. "Oh, the stairs have already started. Brothers, shall we go too?"

The eldest prince Li Yuan sneered, "Fifth brother does everything like a monkey. You are a prince, are you afraid of not having a position?"

Li Mo's face darkened. "Big brother, you are wrong. I look like a monkey, and you are saying that our father is also a monkey?"

Li Yuan said coldly, "Fifth brother is the best at quibbling over words and stirring up trouble. You can interpret it however you want!"

"Fifth brother, when will you ever stop talking like that? I'm afraid it will ruin your future!"

The third prince Li Long is the son of Concubine Yi and a supporter of Li Yuan. Hearing Li Mo's careless words, he said half-jokingly.

After saying that, he looked at Li Yuan flatteringly.

Li Mo knew that he couldn't win the argument with just one mouth, and seeing that they were as steady as a rock and had no intention of moving, he felt annoyed.

"Second brother rushed back from the northern border for the Denglou Meeting. He was really hard-working. I heard that with the support of the King of Zhenbei, he won the battle?"

The second prince, Li Chen, put on his armor, his face showing the coldness and sternness of a soldier, "Thieves and bandits are not worth mentioning!"

Li Yuan looked over with a sinister look, "My second brother's prestige in the army is growing day by day. Even I, the eldest brother, am envious!"

"Big brother, you're too kind. The Crown Prince sits in the Eastern Palace, and all the officials in the court follow your lead. I'm so envious!"

Among the princes, only the Fourth Prince was taciturn and seemed out of place. He waited until Li Yuan stood up before following him up the stairs.

Elsewhere, Li Changqing climbed up the stairs slowly. As soon as he reached the second floor, he sensed a murderous intent!
