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

Liangyi Hall

As the emperor was reviewing official documents, a dark, deathly aura suddenly began to slowly condense beside him.

The death energy quickly condensed into the shape of a sacred phoenix, which looked up to the sky and cried out.

The appearance of this majestic phoenix is ​​exactly the same as the door that Li Junsu used when he underwent the earth vein tempering.

For the officials in the court, the various imposing and majestic appearances they displayed were not acts of flattery.

Anyway, the emperor had a bit of a childlike temper, so the ministers just treated it as playing with him, hoping he would stop bothering them.

Now, the deathly aura has condensed into the shape of a majestic phoenix, lifelike.

As the golden light of the earth's energy adorned the eyes of this sacred beast, Li Junsu's voice also resounded in the hall.

"Your Majesty, this is a matter of great importance. Please have all irrelevant personnel leave."

The moment Li Junsu spoke, the emperor's expression turned serious.

"You all, please step back."

"No one is allowed to approach the Liangyi Hall."

"Including the court officials."

The emperor gave an order to the palace servants outside the palace.

Soon, the Liangyi Hall fell silent.

"Alright, Junsu, I'm the only one here now. What major event has occurred?"

The emperor immediately asked a question.

Could it be that the Herbal Spirit Realm exploded?

"Your Majesty, there is a yellow chariot in the Ling territory."

"It's already been brought out."

Li Junsu's voice startled the emperor for a moment.

What followed was a burst of ecstasy.

"Good, Junsu, well done."

"Return to the capital quickly, let me see this auspicious beast."

The emperor quickly spoke up.

"I see."

After Li Junsu finished speaking, the auspicious beast formed from the deathly aura gradually dissipated in the hall.

The emperor gazed at the empty hall and drifted into reverie.

This is wonderful! The existence of Chenghuang has suddenly given the emperor a lot of ideas.

"The chances of survival for the auspicious beast are unknown. We should have the licorice and the fish clear the way before letting the yellow croaker make its move."

"In this way, life flourishes, and one eats without needing to sleep."

"The dynasty is about to rise."

The emperor stroked his beard, his lips involuntarily agape.

Is his dream of keeping his court officials working tirelessly all these years, solely to handle official business, finally about to come true?

If the ministers knew that the emperor had such a dream, they would definitely gang up on him and beat him up in the main hall.

"His Majesty."

As the clouds gathered, Yun Wujing's figure appeared.

"what happened?"

The emperor was startled, fearing that one of his ministers might burst in and ruin his grand plan.

"The paper doll beauty you requested."

After Yun Wujing finished speaking, he threw out a paper figure, which quickly transformed into a beautiful woman, lifelike, holding a pipa and beginning to play music.

"good very good."

The emperor looked at the paper beauties and nodded in satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, what use do you have for these beauties?"

Yun Wujing, still curious, asked a question.

"It's nothing. My father likes to hear beautiful women playing the pipa, so I'm just satisfying him."

As the emperor spoke, he suddenly chuckled mischievously.

He still remembered the time when his father was drinking with a beautiful woman in his arms on the anniversary of his mother's death, and he shed tears at the banquet, only to be scolded and kicked out by his father.

In retrospect, it seems that my father may have deliberately done this absurd thing to make the Sui Emperor less wary of him.

But the emperor didn't care; the feud had already been formed.

The Wheel of Karmic Fire can bring together the deceased. The emperor plans to bring his mother to see how his father lusts after she reappears in the world.

"hey-hey..."

The emperor stroked his beard as he pondered his plans.

Dou was not known for her good temper, and she had a deep relationship with Li Yuan. She was also quite intelligent.

During the reign of Emperor Sui, Li Yuan was suspected because of his appearance. Dou advised him to offer up a falcon and a horse to avoid trouble.

She also suggested that Li Yuan forge alliances with the Khanate to strengthen his own power.

Later, when Li Yuan raised an army, he adopted Dou's strategy, which shows how much he valued his wife's advice.

Li Yuan also repeatedly expressed his remembrance of Lady Dou, such as ordering people to organize her posthumous works and frequently mentioning her advice on important occasions.

Ever since Li Yuan was taken away, he has either been torturing foreign royal families in the Hero's Tower or watching beauties play music and dance in his own palace.

If the mother were awakened and saw this scene, how fortunate the father would be! The emperor was eagerly anticipating it.

The emperor was usually dignified and composed when handling official business.

But normally, he has quite a temper.

If you provoke him, he'll hold a grudge for a long time.

The fact that Wei Zheng was not allowed to be jealous of celery, and that Lady Fang Xuanlin was also allowed to be jealous, is already an interesting anecdote in the imperial court.

Some time ago, Xiao Shiwen submitted a letter of advice, his tone agitated and his words vehement.

To everyone's surprise, the emperor simply nodded and said that Xiao Qing was right, but he would not listen.

The emperor was so angry that Xiao Shiwen fainted on the spot and had to be carried out of the main hall.

Now that Li Yuan has caught the emperor's eye, he is truly fortunate.

......

Lieshan, on the mountain villa

"The Spirit Realm is gone, so what are you all waiting for?"

Although Bai Xingling addressed everyone, she looked at Ji Xue and asked the question playfully.

“Ancestor, I will take my leave now.”

Ji Xue stood up and spoke politely.

Li Junsu's gaze met Ji Xue's.

"Amitabha, Your Highness Prince An is indeed extraordinary in demeanor."

Ji Xue looked at Li Junsu and boasted generously.

"The master is equally remarkable."

Li Junsu looked at Ji Xue, stroking the hilt of his sword, and spoke in an ambiguous tone.

Ji Xue is very different. If Ding Shi and Ding Du were to advance to Martial Venerable, their demeanor would be no better than this.

Ji Xue nodded with a smile and led her people past Li Junsu.

Shaolin.

Li Junsu sighed inwardly.

The most likely reason why Jixue chose to stand on Shaolin's side was because of Maitreya.

"The Cold Lamp Buddhist Temple, the Cloud Cliff Temple, the Prosperity and Decline Courtyard."

Li Junsu narrowed his eyes as he thought about these three forces.

After dealing with the matter of the Immortal Mountain, we will deal with them.

Seeing this, the other martial masters stood up with slight regret.

They came here not to seize the secret realm.

How many lives do you have to fight the Lord of Soldiers for the secret realm?

They came here to witness the magnificence of our ancestor.

In other words, we look forward to the clash between the Human Emperor and the Lord of War.

The clash between the two ancestral masters would greatly benefit their martial arts.

Just like how the Lord of War slapped the Lord of Blood Prison away with a single palm strike.

Although it was just a casual strike, the absolute control over blood energy and the spontaneous resonance with the power of heaven and earth gave them new insights into the shortcomings of their martial arts.

Now, if I go back and go into seclusion for a while, I might become a little stronger.

"Let's go, come with me to find some treasures related to the ley lines."

Seeing this, Xuanyuan also stood up, his tone becoming much more serious.

The Lord of War nodded and stopped arguing with Xuanyuan. Awakening Shennong was indeed the most urgent task.

As for what to do if Shennong continues to help the Human Emperor fight against him after he wakes up, the Lord of War doesn't really care.

Besides, now that the world is at peace, he no longer has the idea of ​​leading the Jiuli tribe to sweep across the world.

The reason Shennong allied with the Human Emperor was that he was captivated by the Human Emperor's grand vision of unifying the world and uniting all races.

The world is now at peace, the people are prosperous, and there is no war to disturb them.

Then we should discuss the closeness or distance of the relationship.

The Lord of War was also a little curious about which side Shennong would ultimately stand on.

Is it the emperor's charisma that's so great, or the deep bond with one's family?

The two disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only a wisp of blood energy and innate energy.

"Let's go, go back."

"After we get back, I'll put the secret realm inside the manor. You can follow the two ancestors and cultivate diligently. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask your grandfather, okay?"

Li Junsu patiently spoke to Bei Menyue.

"Got it, boss."

Bei Menyue smiled and said.

"Ancestor Chenghuang, please go into the Beast Taming Bag and rest for a while."

Li Junsu then looked at Cheng Huang and took out his beast-taming bag.

"Yes, if the world knew that you were alive today, it would go crazy."

Bai Xingling also realized what was going on, looked at Cheng Huang, and explained while suppressing a laugh.

She didn't know if the world was crazy, but the ministers were definitely insane.

“You’re right, but I don’t think we need this bag.”

After Cheng Huang finished speaking, his body began to shrink rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, the small Chenghuang leaped into Beimenyue's embrace and settled comfortably into a spot.

"Let's go, go back."

After Li Junsu finished speaking, Jian Wuji and Wen Sansha summoned their sword shadows once again.

"Wait a minute, boss."

Bei Menyue seemed to realize something and tugged at Li Junsu's sleeve.

"what happened?"

"Boss, can I take our two ancestors home to visit them first?"

Bei Men Yue blinked her eyes, looking obedient.

"Of course, they are your protectors, not mine."

Li Junsu smiled helplessly.

"Hmph, you old geezer, just you wait."

Having received Li Junsu's approval, Bei Menyue excitedly stepped onto the longsword.

The group left quickly.

Inside the courtyard, only Ying Longlihuang, Xie Jiuyi, and Lin Yuan remained.

"I originally thought it was going to be a fierce battle."

Lin Yuan, holding his sword, spoke with a somewhat listless air.

"The title of 'Lord of War' still carries a deterrent effect."

Xie Jiuyi picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

"However, there is no need to rush. The struggle of the myriad paths may still be reflected."

Xie Jiuyi put down his teacup and spoke with some anticipation.

Now that you mention it, I'm actually starting to look forward to it.

"I wonder how capable Dao Li, this so-called nemesis of sword cultivators, really is."

Lin Yuan held his sword, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Watch out, someone might cleave you and your sword in two with one strike."

"Dao Li can't beat the Jade Emperor, but that's all he can do."

Xie Jiuyi looked at Lin Yuan and teased him.

"What are you looking at? Want to fight?"

It was obvious that things weren't so friendly between Li Huang and Ying Long.

"With the Lord of War absent, who do you think you are?"

Yinglong also stood up.

He might not be able to defeat the Lord of War, but dealing with Li Huang would be a piece of cake for him.

"Heh, you wait, I'll send a telepathic message to Ancestor Jiuying right now."

After Li Huang finished speaking, his figure disappeared, and he tried to catch up with Jiu Li and Jiu Ying who had left with Li Junsu.

He was often besieged by the demon emperors under the command of the Human Emperor.

Now, it's finally his turn to order his men to gang up on the people of the Xuanyuan tribe.

Upon seeing this, Yinglong was greatly alarmed and quickly chased after the other party.

In the sky, wind, thunder, and blood energy exploded with a deafening roar.

"It's going to be lively."
