The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

Ye Hao's face was terribly gloomy, making the entire Golden Palace feel oppressive and terrifying. All the civil and military officials were silent and dared not utter a word.

Because they knew very well that Ye Hao was now filled with boundless rage.

Whoever speaks first is doomed.

After all, Ye Hao had not lost a single general since he started his rebellion.

But Luo Li killed Lü Bu right under their noses, leaving them no time to react.

The key point is that they are true disciples of the Star Temple.

"Why are all my beloved ministers silent?"

Ye Hao glanced at the civil and military officials, his face expressionless, and spoke in a detached tone.

All the civil and military officials turned to look at Zhuge Liang.

Among them, Zhuge Liang held the highest official position, serving as the Chancellor and the Chief Minister of the Imperial Academy, and was in charge of both civil and military affairs.

If he doesn't speak up, who will?

"Your Majesty, is there a misunderstanding that Luo Li, a remnant of the previous dynasty, is a disciple of the Star God Temple?"

Zhuge Liang, steeling himself, stepped forward and spoke.

"The evidence is conclusive, what misunderstanding could there be?"

"If anyone dares to kill my trusted and beloved general, even if she is an immortal, I will kill her; if she is a god, I will slaughter her."

Ye Hao's cold and domineering words echoed in the deathly silent Golden Palace, making the soldiers' blood boil.

Slaying immortals and slaughtering gods—how domineering is that?

The group of generals stared at Ye Hao with fervent eyes, their fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.

The civil official, on the other hand, felt a chill run down his spine.

That is the Star Palace, an existence that has endured for countless ages.

Could they be rivals?

The civil officials were trembling with fear and dared not speak.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the Star Temple?"

Zhuge Liang said, forcing himself to speak.

"Under the vast heaven, all land belongs to the king; on the shores of the earth, all people are subjects of the king."

"If the Star Temple doesn't intervene, fine. But if they dare to protect her, I will annihilate the Star Temple."

Ye Hao said coldly.

Now that he has established his power, he doesn't even consider the mere Star God Temple a threat.

Sooner or later, they will summon a powerful expert at the Divine Fire Realm, and that will be the time to destroy the Star God Temple.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

Civil and military officials immediately knelt down.

Hearing Ye Hao's confident words, they immediately calmed down.

Ye Hao also possesses the power of the Divine Fire Realm.

Moreover, Ye Hao's methods are mysterious, and he has a constant stream of trump cards up his sleeve.

If they can even help people improve their cultivation, they might even be hidden Divine Fire Realm experts.

Upon realizing this, the civil and military officials were instantly overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go and capture Luo Li, a remnant of the previous dynasty."

"His Majesty…"

With no more concerns, the military officers vied for the mission of capturing Luo Li.

This is an enormous military achievement, and it didn't even require any difficulty.

At least that's how they see it.

"Xiang Yu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou..."

Ye Hao called out the names of these three people.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou are at the seventh level of the King Realm, while Xiang Yu is at the third level of the Supreme Realm.

With the help of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu, capturing Luo Li would be more than enough.

In addition, Ye Hao secretly sent a telepathic message to Feng Chu, instructing him to follow and intercept the Saint Realm expert from the Star God Temple who had never appeared before.

He clearly believed Gu Qing's words and concluded that Luo Li had five Supreme Realm experts by her side, and possibly one Saint Realm Seventh Level expert.

"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, Vermilion Bird, you shall lead the Embroidered Uniform Guard to arrest Gu Qing immediately and bring him to justice."

Ye Hao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he was somewhat grateful to Luo Li. Without her, Ye Hao would not have found an opportunity to make a move against Gu Qing.

"Yes!"

The four leaders of the Imperial Guards bowed to receive the order, and as they stood up, their expressions showed a mixture of unspoken words and hesitation.

Capturing Gu Qing is easy, but what about Bai Wuyai and Bai Suying?

And how should we deal with the peak Saint Realm cultivators around Gu Qing?

They are only at the Venerable Realm; facing a peak Saint Realm expert would only lead to their demise.

Seeing this, Ye Hao frowned and remained silent in thought.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, we should first send the Embroidered Uniform Guard to keep an eye on the person. Once we have arrested Luo Li and the evidence is conclusive, it will not be too late to arrest Gu Qing and bring him to justice."

Zhuge Liang offered his advice.

Once Luo Li is captured, Gu Qing will come to him on his own, since they are from the same lineage and he can't just stand by and watch her die.

"Very well! We shall do as you say!"

Ye Hao was overjoyed. As expected of Zhuge Liang, whose wisdom was almost supernatural, he solved his problem with a single sentence.

Now, he just needs to wait for good news.

Auntie will eventually be his.

...

Xiang Yu led his army to Dingyang City and immediately ordered it to be surrounded.

"Where is Princess Ninth?"

"Where did she go?"

The powerful members of the Luo clan in Dingyang City were so anxious they were practically fuming.

Luo Li gathered them together, promised them various benefits, and even gave them several top-grade pills.

They thought their moment to turn the tide had arrived.

Therefore, he excitedly left the mountains and, together with Luo Li, conquered Dingyang City, and then massacred the city.

But now that Xiang Yu's army is at the city gates, Luo Li has disappeared without a trace, and they are instantly terrified.

A terrible thought suddenly came to mind.

That's right, they were expendable pawns, deliberately pushed out to deliver casualties to Ye Hao.

Meanwhile, Luo Li had already arrived in Bei Liang.

"Gentlemen, my purpose in coming here is solely to avenge our grievances. For every city you conquer, I will reward you with the same number of top-grade pills."

"Furthermore, all the spoils of the massacre are yours."

Luo Li addressed the recruited experts in this way.

"Princess, rest assured, the hatred for the destruction of our country is irreconcilable. Even if we are shattered to pieces, we will help you avenge your country, restore the Luo family's rule, and eliminate the traitor Ye Hao."

Although everyone spoke with lofty ideals, they could not hide the greed in their eyes.

After all, there are many cultivation families and shops in the city, whose wealth is almost incalculable.

After this job, they'll never have to worry about cultivation resources again.

And you don't have to worry about retaliation.

After all, this is a chaotic world, and Luo Li is the leader.

"Yes, thank you all for your support. I, Luo Li, swear that if I succeed in restoring the kingdom, I will enfeoff you as kings. If I fail, I will take you away from the Eastern Region to the Central Divine Region and introduce you to the Holy Land."

The pie in Luo Li's picture made everyone's breath catch in their throats, and their hearts were filled with joy.

This is an incredible stroke of luck!

Everyone went completely mad.

Only one thought remained in his mind: slaughter Beiliang and seize all its resources.

Even if it costs me my life, I will cling to Luo Li's powerful backer.

"More than two hundred Void Dao Realm cultivators and thirteen King Realm cultivators are still far from enough."

Watching the departing figures of everyone with joy, Luo Li's eyes remained indifferent as she murmured to herself.

These people are fine for slaughtering Beiliang, but if she wants to destroy all the cities of the Divine Phoenix Empire, she needs even more cannon fodder.

"I imagine those high and mighty sects, vassal kings, and aristocratic families... don't want to be ruled by Ye Hao's tyranny..."

"And the neighboring countries..."

"I only need to light one fire, and they will completely unite..."

Luo Li narrowed her eyes slightly, a thousand vicious schemes flashing through her mind.

Ye Hao's imperial power was extremely domineering, leaving no way out for sects and aristocratic families.

Moreover, they used ruthless methods, dispatching large armies to conquer cities with unstoppable momentum, and confiscating and exterminating families.

Under such circumstances, she didn't need to do anything; they were already putting up a fierce resistance.

She only needs to unite them to destroy most of the cities of the Divine Phoenix Empire.

The surrounding countries certainly don't want to see Ye Hao become powerful.

Thinking it over, Luo Li immediately found the disciples of the Star God Temple and asked them to help her run errands.

Of course, to get them to do things, you'll need to offer them a generous reward.

After doing all this, Luo Li smiled and murmured.

"Senior brother, you must live! I'm counting on you to refine pills for me in the future."

She never expected that Gu Qing would come to the Divine Phoenix Empire, settle in the capital, and search for her everywhere.

Is this an attempt to stand up for her?

To be honest, she was a little touched, but not much.

He even ruthlessly schemed against Gu Qing.

Given Ye Hao's domineering style, he definitely won't let Gu Qing off the hook for what she did.

If Gu Qing were dead, that would be wonderful.

The Star Temple will definitely send Saint-level experts, or even Divine Fire-level experts, with divine artifacts to annihilate the Divine Phoenix Empire in one fell swoop.

With Gu Qing no longer a competitor, she is the strongest disciple of her generation.

It's okay if you're not dead.

She no longer considered the mere Zhou Tian Xing Chen Divine Body a threat.

"It's just a pity that we can't obtain the opportunities and fortune from Ye Hao." Luo Li's beautiful eyes showed regret.

She believed that Ye Hao must be a reincarnation of a powerful being, and that he only awakened his past life memories after she dug out his bones.

His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he used his past life's methods to lure Venerable Realm and Saint Realm cultivators to work for him.

The gap was too large; Luo Li had no hope of killing Ye Hao.

However, she was determined to destroy the Divine Phoenix Empire.

Thinking this, Luo Li traversed the void and arrived in Bei Liangcheng in one step. She was enveloped in divine light, as if a goddess had descended to earth.

Without wasting words, she raised her hand and struck down with a palm. A massive star seal flew through the air, carrying a world-destroying force, and crashed towards Beiliang City.

"Ok?"

Ye Zhentian's trusted men left in Beiliang City changed their expressions drastically and hurriedly summoned their magical treasures.

Boom~!

Without a doubt, he was reduced to ashes by the Star Seal's divine power.

The Star Seal, its power undiminished, struck the city's protective array, causing ripples in the array and making it teeter on the verge of collapse.

"It's the traitor Luo Li..."

Upon seeing who it was, the many powerful figures in Beiliang City were enraged, their eyes filled with murderous intent, and they immediately sent a message to the imperial city.

"Rebel?"

"ridiculous."

The Luo clan ruled this continent for countless years, but now that the rebels have gained power, the Luo clan has become the rebels themselves.

It's true that things in this world are unpredictable.

Luo Li, too lazy to waste words, summoned the Phoenix Nirvana Spear, the phoenix's natal magic weapon, which had been sealed together in the Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm.

It is a semi-divine artifact.

She refined the essence of the phoenix, and the Phoenix Nirvana Spear voluntarily recognized her as its master.

Boom~!

The power of a semi-divine artifact is even more terrifying than that of a sacred artifact. Luo Li only unleashed less than one ten-thousandth of its power, yet it still destroyed the entire Beiliang City into nothingness.

Her expression was cold, and she held a divine spear, like a celestial maiden.

She could travel thousands of miles in a single step, destroying city after city, including the formidable border fortresses.

...

"puff!"

Far away in the capital, Ye Hao, who was eagerly anticipating his return and dreaming of a bright future, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood as he suffered a terrifying backlash from his body.

"hold head high…"

The golden dragon of fortune let out a mournful cry, rapidly shrank, and its fortune dissipated.

"what happened?"

Ye Hao was utterly horrified.

According to the message from the Golden Dragon of Fortune, Northern Liang has been destroyed.

Hundreds of millions of lives were lost in an instant.

You must know, Northern Liang was the place where he rose to power.

Moreover, his current fortune and faith both come from Northern Liang.

As for other places, he had only just occupied them, and although he had won the hearts of the people, his regime was still unstable.

Luo Li struck his vital point, causing one-third of his luck to dissipate.

The reason they didn't die from the backlash of their luck was entirely because they had a primordial spiritual treasure to suppress their luck.

In fact, it wasn't just him who suffered the backlash; all the civil and military officials were also severely injured by the backlash.

After all, their lives are intertwined with the fate of the nation; when the nation prospers, they prosper; when the nation declines, they decline.

"Damn it, Luo Li, I will definitely tear you to pieces, so you'll wish you were dead..."

Ye Hao was furious, his eyes bloodshot.

He thought she was just an insignificant ant, and that his army would wipe her out as soon as they arrived.

However, no one expected that Luo Li would be so heartless as to harm innocent civilians.

This struck him squarely in his vital spot.
