Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

A gentle breeze stirred in Peach Blossom Spring, and the warm sun shone down, but the two ghost kings felt that it was all over, all over.

"You..." Li Junsu was about to say something when the starry sky suddenly brightened.

"Who is it?!" The Ghost Emperor was shocked. Someone could actually project power into Peach Blossom Spring, which meant that the other party had left him far behind in the path of martial arts.

This is her own little world. Just how strong is the other party?

Despite Hu Yanning being brought to tears by Li Su, if it really came down to a life-or-death battle, with Taoyuan as a backup power source, she might be able to wear Li Su down.

But the price was a Pyrrhic victory; the resentment that sustained Peach Blossom Spring might vanish without a trace.

Even if Peach Blossom Spring still exists, the consequence would be that all the ghosts in Peach Blossom Spring would become nourishment. Although they won, without the residents, it was not what Hu Yanning wanted.

If she could detonate Peach Blossom Spring along with herself, she could trade places with Beimen Jue.

Peach Blossom Spring is a small world, and the power of that world is beyond imagination.

Of course, all of this is on the premise that it takes place inside Peach Blossom Spring. If Hu Yanning goes out, Li Su can beat her to tears with just a few punches and kicks, and within a hundred moves, Hu Yanning will be killed outside.

As for Beimen Jue, if he faced Huyan Ning outside, Huyan Ning would undoubtedly die within thirty moves.

Even so, the three great ghost emperors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Ghost Emperor era, though their personalities were rather comical, were none of them weak.

At least Hu Yanning could easily overpower the White Lotus Saintess; her skill level is probably a little weaker than Jian Chan's.

Hu Yanning glanced at Li Junsu with some hesitation. Was her identity about to be exposed?

Should I do it myself?

Hu Yanning has the demeanor of a leader; she cares deeply for the ghost people of Taoyuan.

Hu Yanning was unaware that even if she brought Taoyuan to self-destruct, Yun Wujing could only use five-tenths of her strength to take a bath inside the self-destruction of the small world.

This is the true value of being number one in the world.

The Jade Emperor could directly prevent the small world from self-destructing, or even seize control of Peach Blossom Spring, thus stealing your trump card.

This is also the difference that can be achieved between Martial Venerables, as vast as the difference between clouds and mud.

"Your Majesty," Li Junsu said solemnly as he looked at the illusory starlight that had appeared before him.

The Taiji Hall appeared opposite, and all the court officials were there, including Yun Wujing, Li Su, and Beimen Jue. Something big had happened.

"My dear minister, stop thinking about the Ghost Emperor and come back quickly," the emperor laughed loudly.

"What's wrong?" Li Junsu looked at the emperor's strange expression and breathed a sigh of relief, as if it wasn't a big deal.

"Thank goodness, that scared me. Are all Martial Venerables this strong these days?" Hu Yanning breathed a sigh of relief, then thought to himself, feeling a bit flustered.

Although demons and monsters claiming to be martial lords roamed the land during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, they were all trash. Hu Yanning wouldn't even consider using them as food or drinks, as it would be too dirty for him.

A single Ghost King could probably rival the so-called Martial Venerable.

The truly powerful monks and Taoist priests were all killed by Su Anga.

There are also enemies from the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Su An directly devoured their souls and spirits, and they are still serving as his accomplices.

Back then, Su An was a frenzied hunter of sacrificial offerings, a true battle maniac. Whenever ghostly energy erupted, those high monks and generals would basically be terrified and flee in all directions.

After avenging his people, Hu Yanning retreated back to Peach Blossom Spring.

This also resulted in her never having met the previous Shaolin abbot and the Dragon Tiger Celestial Master, which caused her great suffering later.

Hu Yanning's impression of Wu Zun was only that he was a good cook.

Even some nobodies dare to call themselves Martial Venerables.

This is the chaotic world. Someone who can see mountains might dare to abuse villagers in the wilderness and call himself a martial arts master.

That was an era devoid of martial spirit.

There were also tough guys, such as Su Jun and Liu Jinu.

Unfortunately, Su Jun, like Liu Yao, was arrogant and conceited. After drinking, he rode a small horse into battle, but the horse couldn't carry him and he was thrown off. He was then stabbed to death by a soldier with a spear.

Liu Yao was even more of a heavyweight. He went to war drunk, and like everyone else, he rode a small horse. What was even more outrageous was that when he fell off his horse, the butt of his spear was just caught by the ground.

Then he stabbed himself through with his own spear.

Simply put, Liu Yao stabbed himself to death with his own spear.

There's a reason why the Northern and Southern Dynasties produced so many talented people.

Even the way they died was so careless.

This led Hu Yanning to believe that Wu Zun was weak. After all, what did it matter if he had the nickname "Su Jun's Rebellion" or if he was good at fighting? His death was so hasty that she didn't even want to take a second look at him.

Martial Venerable? Nothing special.

It wasn't until Li Su came to his door that Hu Yanning was given a small shock as a Martial Venerable.

A genuine Martial Venerable, without any exaggeration, a monster who killed a dragon with his bare hands.

This completely shattered Hu Yanning's mentality. It turned out that it wasn't that Wu Zun was weak, but rather that the useless people of the Northern and Southern Dynasties were all trying to make themselves look good.

Hu Yanning also truly understood the meaning of what she considered to be the Martial Venerable.

Supreme Martial Arts Master.

Hu Yanning was so badly beaten that he became withdrawn and lost all desire to leave.

There are monsters outside, it's too terrifying, she plans to stay at home obediently.

Now, Yun Wujing has once again given her a small shock of a powerful figure.

Projections can be made remotely, or even across barriers of extreme circumstances.

She had no idea that such a powerful person could easily kill her.

"This is... a true dynasty." Hu Yanning was somewhat dazed, thinking of the ancient books that recorded the Qin and Han dynasties.

With absolute control over the world, no force can shake the dynasty.

Even if it collapses, it will be the dynasty's own collapse, not the fault of foreign tribes to conquer it.

And now... a new dynasty has been established in the world.

"The heavenly soldiers have gone mad." The emperor's voice interrupted Huyan Ning's thoughts.

"It's time to go out and take a look," Hu Yanning sighed inwardly.

Frogs in a well don't live long; only those who know how to be respectful can thrive.

"Have the heavenly soldiers gone mad?" Li Junsu was startled; this was no joke.

"Yes, they said they wanted to hold some kind of... Heavenly Ranking Competition." The emperor said in a strange tone.

"The Heavenly Ranking...competition?" Li Junsu was also taken aback upon hearing this.

"Yes, let us hold it. Only the winner will be qualified to become the top of the Heavenly Soldiers Ranking. Simply put... they want to compete in the arena." The emperor said, suppressing a laugh, in a very good mood.

The emperor was in a good mood because the heavenly soldiers trusted the Great Qian so much, which strengthened his resolve to have Li Junsu deceive them.

This was a misconception that the emperor had fallen into, or rather... a misconception that no one in the world had realized.

Even Li Junsu was the same.

That is because each faction's ancestral weapons have memories of the dynasty, so they find it very strange that these descendants have lost their minds.

Why are you not submitting to the dynasty? Are you just waiting to be wiped out?

Black Ice Platform has wiped out entire sects before.

Becoming Xuan Qin's master comes with great benefits; Zu Long isn't a stingy person.

Wan Qingjian was once Xuan Qin's master, but he was later kicked out by Zu Long.

It doesn't matter if Wan Qingjian is a bit mediocre; the problem is that she taught Gongzi Su all sorts of nonsense.

For example, sayings like "Where there's life, there's hope" or "The one who survives to the end is the winner."

Young Master Su, who followed the path of a gentleman, directly reported Wanqing Sword.

That night, Wan Qingjian was kicked.

The Eastern Emperor Bell, the Seven Star Fiend, and the Sha-Breaking Sword were all once revered masters. If the sect behaved itself, the Ancestral Dragon wouldn't bother with them.

If you're not honest... then just wait for the black icebreaker to come knocking.

These ancestral soldiers did not resist the dynasty at all; on the contrary, they were rewarded handsomely for serving the dynasty.

Mutual benefit is normal.

But after experiencing two periods of chaos, the Great Qian Dynasty failed to react.

In chaotic times, most of the heavenly soldiers would naturally have to consider the interests of their sect.

It was naturally opposed to the separatist dynasties of the time.

For the heavenly soldiers...

Separatist forces will not work.

Imperial Dynasty, proceed.

It's that simple.
