I was dumped while cultivating immortality in my later years, and the system only came to me after I

"You Zhenwu Marquis's Mansion, how dare you humiliate my woman like this! Exterminating your entire clan wouldn't be an exaggeration!" Li Zhen was furious.

However, the thought that his daughter could be valued by the Tai Xuan Quasi-Emperor filled him with bitterness. If only he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place.

I wouldn't have allowed the Crown Prince to frame the Shen family out of fear of them wiping out their entire clan.

Now, it's too late for regrets.

It's likely that Li Yuehua abandoned that familial bond long ago.

The only thing that remains is the bond of blood ties; I hope to forgive myself as a father.

Facing Chu Feng, a quasi-Emperor of the Tai Xuan realm, Li Zhen was filled with despair.

The opponent is too powerful and too aggressive.

Others might hesitate to acknowledge his status as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but he wouldn't, because he could single-handedly destroy the Tang Dynasty.

As you can see, the Holy Land of Yao Guang, the Holy Land of Tai Chu, the Holy Land of Tian Mo, the Heavenly Demon Palace, and the Jiang Family Imperial Clan all chose to compromise when faced with Chu Feng.

Even reclusive forces like the Purple Mansion Immortal Palace avoided its sharp edge.

This era probably belongs to Chu Feng.

In the Eastern Wilderness, Chu Feng has become the undisputed number one.

"Guards, convey my order: the entire clan of the Marquis of Zhenwu is to be exterminated."

An order was issued instantly.

Just as Li Zhen issued the order.

A Buddhist chant suddenly rang out.

"Amitabha."

"who is it?"

A Buddhist.

Li Zhen's expression changed drastically, and his brows furrowed slightly. It was bad enough that Chu Feng had sneaked into the palace without anyone noticing before, but now a Buddhist monk had actually infiltrated this place.

This immediately enraged Li Zhen.

If I am no match for Chu Feng, how could I not be a match for you Buddhist monks?

He immediately snorted coldly and raised his hand to strike the void with a claw.

Azure dragon extends its claws.

Instantly, the claw transformed into a dragon claw, causing the void to tremble. An old monk, dressed in a monk's robe, with a compassionate face, radiating golden light, and a halo above his head, walked out of the void step by step. The Azure Dragon Claw that Li Zhen had just used shattered inch by inch, turning into streaks of azure light that dissipated into the void.

Li Zhen's expression changed drastically in an instant.

The old monk smiled and said, "This humble monk, Kongsang, greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty."

Li Zhen sneered, "You trespassed into the palace of my Great Tang Dynasty. What is your crime? It seems that my Great Tang Dynasty has never welcomed the existence of Buddhism. Aren't you afraid that I will summon my guards and ensure that you never return?"

The old monk shook his head and said, "No."

"Because you and Your Majesty share the same enemy."

"Does Your Majesty intend to kill the Tai Xuan Quasi-Emperor Chu Feng?"

Li Zhen instantly understood why the old monk had come.

It was originally intended to deal with Chu Feng.

Indeed, Chu Feng was arrogant and domineering, looking down on everyone and not taking the emperor seriously at all. Logically speaking, he should have wanted to tear Chu Feng to pieces and rip out his soul.

However, he still had self-awareness.

Because he knew he was no match for Chu Feng. You might think his claim of killing six Transcending Tribulation Heavenly Monarchs with one sword was just empty boasting, since he was also present at the time.

Disguised, they wanted to enter the Golden Palace.

He didn't enter the Golden Palace, but instead witnessed a scene that horrified him.

Hey.

Just when I was worried about how to improve my relationship with Chu Feng, this happened.

The Buddhist sect has a deep-seated grudge against Chu Feng. Excellent, that's wonderful.

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "Old monk, you can't say things like that. Chu Feng and I are father-in-law and son-in-law. You may not know, but I have taken a liking to my daughter and am about to marry her. How could I possibly have a grudge against him because of this?"

The old monk shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, why deceive yourself? Although Li Yuehua is indeed Your Majesty's daughter, can you guarantee whether Li Yuehua and Bixi are truly related by blood?"

"Don't let Li Yuehua vent all her hatred for Your Majesty on him. If that happens, Your Majesty won't be able to be the emperor anymore. Chu Feng might even support Li Yuehua to become the Empress of the Tang Dynasty."

He abdicated and made way for a more capable person.

Li Zhen's eyes lit up unexpectedly.

He frowned.

But inside, he was overjoyed.

Whoever wants to be emperor can be emperor. Do you think he wants to be emperor? He has cultivated to the level of a Heavenly Monarch who has transcended tribulation, but the blessing of national fortune is almost zero. As emperor, he has to deal with countless government affairs every day and is too busy to have any time to cultivate.

If it weren't for the lack of a successor and the fact that he hadn't been emperor for long, he would have resigned long ago.

He really had to step down.

sure.

I will abdicate.

Of course, since the goal was to please Chu Feng, it was impossible to show it.

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "Didn't what you said not happen? Old monk, I just want to ask you, is Li Yuehua my daughter, and am I her father?"

Kongsang nodded and said, "Yes."

"but."

Li Zhen immediately interrupted Kong Sang and said, "I'll ask you again, is Chu Feng my son-in-law?"

"Calculate."

Kong Sang frowned.

Li Zhen said with satisfaction, "That's settled then. You wanted me to kill my daughter and son-in-law, weren't you putting me in a difficult position? Of course, if you really want me to deal with the two of them, that's fine too, but you'll have to pay more."

Kong Sang had prepared himself for Li Zhen's rejection, but to his surprise, Li Zhen changed his mind and agreed.

He was immediately overjoyed.

He asked, "I wonder what His Majesty the Emperor's requests are?"

Li Zhen said, "Old Monk Kongsang, how about this: give me one million divine resources, three Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Lord magic treasures, and thirty Mahayana Heavenly Man magic treasures. As for other rewards, we can discuss them after I've thought them through."

Kong Sang's face turned green.

He shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, we have a cooperative relationship, not one where I asked you to do something. Isn't the reward a bit inappropriate?"

"What?" Li Zhen was completely stunned.

“Old monk, isn’t your Buddhist sect going too far? You want me to kill my own son-in-law without paying any price? I can’t do that. If that’s the case, then please leave.”

"This is my own son-in-law."

The old monk Kongsang was slightly taken aback and said, "Wait, Your Majesty, conditions are possible, but the conditions you have proposed are too many."

"Is that much?" Li Zhen shook his head and said, "You can't even come up with this much reward? That's very disappointing."

"You've said too much."

"Then tell me, what treasures can you offer that would make me deal with my own son-in-law?"

After considering for a moment, the old monk Kongsang said, "500,000 catties of divine source, two treasures of the Heavenly Lord who has transcended tribulation, and fifteen treasures of the Great Vehicle Heavenly Being."

Just cut it in half.

Kongsang, an old monk, had never experienced anything like this before, and thought he had gained something this time.

Little did they know that Li Zhen was secretly overjoyed.

As expected of Buddhism, the gifts are incredibly generous.

Moreover, based on the old monk Kongsang's deduction, the other party was not from the Eastern Wilderness Buddhist Sect at all. The Eastern Wilderness Buddhist Sect consisted of only a few insignificant individuals, and there was no Tribulation-Crossing Heavenly Lord among them.

There is only one possibility: the old monk Kongsang in front of us is very likely from the Western Desert.

Buddhist holy land.
