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

White clouds drifted down from the sky and then slowly landed.

As the clouds and air swirled, they gently carried away the floodwaters.

The world-destroying flood simply vanished without a trace amidst the rolling clouds.

A flood capable of destroying the world could not even last three breaths within the imperial dynasty.

If it weren't for the current dynasty, this move could have directly led to a change of dynasty.

However, this is different from the past.

Even in the imperial dynasty, there exists a supreme immortal master.

"You felt it?"

Dao Li glanced at Feng Jinhe and curled his lip.

"Hmm...it's somewhat similar to the Daoist essence of Lingxiao, but the differences are significant; it's only about three-tenths similar."

Feng Jinhe seemed to be thinking about something, and spoke softly.

"Of course I know, otherwise I would have already slashed him with a knife."

After speaking, Dao Li looked back at the battlefield.

As the person directly involved in the flood, Prince An showed no fear or awe in the face of the world-destroying flood.

On the contrary, Prince An's eyes turned cold almost instantly.

He could naturally sense the world-destroying flood that had just occurred within the dynasty.

In his view, Gonggong was courting death.

As the floodwaters surged down, Prince An's gaze sharpened as he faced the overwhelming deluge.

"Heaven."

As soon as the words were spoken, the heavens were enraged.

A vast power emanated from the heavens, directly dispersing the floodwaters.

The devastating flood that could have destroyed the world turned into a light drizzle, scattering across the heavens and earth.

Prince An took a step forward and stomped on the ground.

A single upward slash, rising from the ground towards the sky.

This time, the inner and outer Dao domains flowed perfectly, the heavenly might and killing intent erupted, and the kingly might drew upon the power of heaven and earth.

The God of Destruction felt a powerful pressure that rendered him unable to move.

"Roar!"

A slash of glass cut through the air, and blood rained down.

On Gonggong's side was a deep, bone-revealing wound, which made the Holy Mountain Goddess, who was watching the battle, subconsciously touch her own waist.

With a single strike carrying the might of the heavens, Gonggong was nearly cut in half at the waist.

King An's figure flew into the sky and turned to look at Gonggong.

"Disaster and resentment will destroy the world."

Gonggong turned around and looked at King An.

A spear reappeared in his hand, and this time he thrust it out.

The coiled snake totem reappeared.

This time, totems and water spirits, artistic conception and origin, realms and the power of heaven and earth.

All forces erupted simultaneously.

Gonggong's plan to self-destruct was not unexpected by King An.

A being who shattered Mount Buzhou would certainly not have thought of the easygoing nature of Zhu Rong or Ya Yu before his death.

Even if I die, I'll take the others down with me.

However, at this moment, Gonggong's entire body had been corrupted by death energy.

For Prince An, the time was right.

"world."

Prince An gripped the hilt of Zhao Han's sword, a thought flashing through his mind, and uttered two words softly.

In that instant, everything around Mount Buzhou suddenly came to a standstill.

After receiving the divine inheritance, Prince An gained a new understanding of the power of heaven and earth.

At this moment, he uses rhythm to move heaven and earth.

As the heavens and earth unleashed their power, another figure of Gonggong suddenly appeared atop the mountain.

This is the past of Gonggong.

The world can be overturned, locking away the enemy's past, present, and future.

As for why Gonggong only has the past and the present, it is naturally because he has no future.

Between heaven and earth, the glass scroll slowly unfolded once again before the other supreme beings.

A trace of ink appears.

This time, unlike before, Prince An personally wielded a long sword and beheaded the enemy.

Instead, Prince An ordered Zhao Han to sheath his sword.

The next moment, the supreme beings present saw the ink traces formed from the abyss of deathly energy explode with a bang.

The ink spread and engulfed Gonggong.

Then they sensed that Gonggong's life force was dissipating at an alarming rate.

As the abyss of death energy received the blessing of heaven and earth, it directly devoured Gonggong's life force.

Soon, the Gonggong clan's vitality was on the verge of extinction.

At that very moment, the forces of heaven and earth intersected once more.

There was no loud noise, nor any other unusual phenomenon.

It was simply a clash of forces between heaven and earth.

The boundaries are shattered, the barriers are broken.

The supreme beings hidden in the void were directly shaken out.

Between heaven and earth, only the scene of deathly energy annihilating the water god remained.

King An's mountain and sea system greedily absorbed the origin of Gonggong.

Li Junsu landed slowly, feeling the abundance of his own mountains and seas, as well as the power of Gonggong, and his eyes flashed.

After receiving the inheritance of Yayu, the original essence of Gonggong was no longer enough for him.

Even if you add Zhu Rong, it's still the same.

The most important thing now is the martial arts insights of the Supreme Beings.

Next, we can absorb the true meaning of rivers and lakes from our predecessor Houtu.

By nurturing the rivers and mountains, one's physical strength will increase dramatically, and one should still be qualified to face the supreme ruler of the Western Regions.

When he first fought against Gonggong and Zhurong, he felt that the power of the Five Sacred Mountains was much stronger than he had imagined.

Without the blessing of the Five Sacred Mountains, relying solely on his internal and external Daoist domains, it would be difficult for him to suppress Gonggong through physical strength alone.

Li Junsu put aside his thoughts and then realized that there were so many supreme beings present.

"?"

Li Junsu was stunned for a moment.

However, before he could speak, the Human Emperor's Soldier Lord ran away.

One needs to nourish their vital energy and blood, while the other needs to forge their physical constitution.

Hurry up and finish your work so you can come and ask Junsu for advice on rhythm.

Feng Jinhe and Dao Li left in a hurry.

They quickly sought out the Jade Emperor, one wanting to spar with him, the other hoping to obtain some valuable items from him.

We can't let Zhu Rong achieve merit first.

Soon, only Zhulong and Nuwa remained on the field.

Nuwa landed slowly, looking at Li Junsu with her eyes shining.

I feel that Junsu is actually very suitable to be my disciple.

The path of earth veins is also a great path.

"Empress Nuwa".

Zhu Rong also came to his senses; he had just thought he was about to be smashed into mincemeat by the other supreme beings.

No matter which of those supreme beings makes a move, he'll be in grave danger, let alone with so many of them gathered together.

"No gift."

Nuwa looked at Zhurong and her eyes showed much more satisfaction.

She is a kind-hearted person. As long as she hasn't made any major mistakes, she can correct them if she knows they are wrong, which is a great virtue.

Of course, if it were someone like Gonggong, even if he knew his mistakes and could correct them, Nuwa would still send him away.

Some people can change, while others cannot.

"good."

Zhulong walked over and said with a light laugh.

"Senior, what's this about the Celestial Spirit?"

Li Junsu looked at Bai Xingling, who had fainted in Zhulong's arms, with some surprise.

"Oh... wake up."

Zhulong patted Bai Xingling's face and chuckled as he spoke.

"Um...?"

Bai Xingling slowly woke up, blinking her eyes in a daze.

"It's over?!"

As her memories returned, Bai Xingling suddenly woke up and looked at Li Junsu and Zhu Rongshi beside him with some surprise.

No, how long was she unconscious?

Qiongqi, perched on Nuwa's shoulder, flicked its tail dismissively.

The White Tiger Clan is ignorant.

She was so scared that she fainted.

Qiongqi was unaware that Bai Xingling was stunned by his handsomeness.

They assumed she was ignorant and had fainted from fright.

Unlike her, who was stunned by her master's handsome move.

Yes, Qiongqi had actually just woken up.

"Well, I'm back."

Li Junsu looked at Bai Xingling and chuckled. After speaking, the group turned into death energy and left Buzhou Mountain.

......

In the Liangyi Hall, everyone seemed to awaken from a dream.

"This time, did Jun Su really and truly defeat the Supreme One?"

The emperor touched the armrest, muttering to himself in a daze.

"Yes."

Yun Wujing looked at the projection and nodded slightly.

"What does 'supreme' mean?"

Of all those present, Huo Zimeng was the most bewildered.

Is this the fighting strength a dynasty should have?

If they had had this fighting power back then, they would have crushed the Xiongnu long ago.

What did he see now? A young man... just like that, he killed such a powerful person?

He knew about Prince An, but knowing is one thing, seeing is another.

Back then, Yayu really let the water flow freely.

But Gonggong was not like that; he was suppressed and beaten by King An and then sent away.

"Your Majesty, regarding the matter of sending troops to the Western Regions..."

Fang Xuanlin then slowly walked out, cupping his hands and bowing.

The other ministers' eyes lit up upon hearing this.

All they want now is to send the emperor away, let the crown prince oversee the country, and then openly slack off.

Expanding the imperial city was part of official business, and even though they had been exploited for so many years, they were still feeling quite miserable.

The expansion of the imperial city, not to mention the various wards and markets, just the Wu Wang Mansion alone made them weep.

The emperor said that King Wu should be given the best.

This is one of the heroes.

Therefore, they not only had to allocate treasures from the treasury, but also had to listen to King Wu and the Heavenly Sword's outrageous ideas.

Sometimes King Wu would want this, and the Heavenly Sword would want that.

Then the two started arguing and then fighting.

Ultimately, the construction site was reduced to ruins, requiring reconstruction.

Let those two ancestors go to Jian Su Mountain and stay there. They refuse to leave no matter what, saying they want to win Liu Jinu's coffin money and so on.

The ministers were in a state of utter confusion.

When rebuilding the world, one may occasionally encounter unruly people.

They are used to it.

But they really couldn't stand troublemakers like King Wu and Tianjian, who were untouchable and unassailable.

The ministers dared to criticize even the emperor, but they couldn't scold King Wu or Tianjian, which was certainly not because of their status.

It's not because of strength.

King Wu and Heavenly Sword may not be considered top-tier experts in the world today.

But those were not people the ministers could afford to offend; King Wu and Tianjian were capable of raiding homes and beating people up in the middle of the night.

They are not to be trifled with.

"Eh!"

The emperor waved his hand.

"Let the Western Regions... or rather, the poisonous regions, exert their power once again."

"One battle decides the fate."

The emperor laughed loudly.

The Western Regions' combat strength is still lacking; if we're going to fight, we need to fight decisively.

By sending away all the resources of the Western Regions at once, they were able to prevent the other side from posing any further threat to future dynasties.

Chengqian isn't me; what if I suffer losses in the future?

"Alright, now that Jun Su has finished fighting, let's take this opportunity to hold a court meeting."

"How is the expansion of the imperial city progressing? When will it be completed?"

"Also, how are things going with the Prince Wu's residence?"

The emperor then began to speak in an orderly manner.

This one sentence caused the ministers' faces to contort in shock.

In other words, they are indeed of good character.

If it were someone with a weaker temperament, they might vomit at the mere mention of "official business" in the future.

"It's poisonous, hurry up!"

"His Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent... After he assumes the regency, the good days are finally coming."

"I hope Your Majesty can fight for a year or two. We have sufficient food and supplies, and our troops are strong and well-equipped. We can afford to wait it out."

The ministers had a variety of thoughts on their minds.

At the same time, they felt that Chengqian's regency was a good opportunity to enjoy a life of luxury.

However... they overlooked one thing.

That's the personality of the princes and princesses.

If I had to say, this group of people are like treacherous ghosts.

How could I just stand by and watch others enjoy life?

......

Wude Hall

Chengqian opened his eyes and withdrew from the mortal world.

He looked at the dust disc, then put it down with trembling hands.

Only after confirming that I was back in reality did I finally breathe a long sigh of relief.

Within the Red Dust Plate, Lü Zhi's skill level was getting higher and higher.

Chengqian went to curry favor with powerful figures.

However, Chengqian noticed that Lü Zhi's personality seemed to have undergone a subtle change.

Although he couldn't quite put his finger on it, he just felt a sudden, subconscious panic.

Each time he withdrew, he had the illusion that Lü Zhi would run out with him in the next instant.

He was really scared.

He was afraid of ghosts and monsters, a psychological trauma he developed from being frightened by Li Su when he was a child.

"Big brother!"

Prince Tai's voice made Chengqian tremble.

"Are you trying to get yourself killed?! You walk so quietly?!"

Chengqian snapped out of his daze and angrily rebuked.

"Brother, the Imperial Uncle has killed Gonggong. Just now in the Liangyi Hall, I heard the ministers say... Father will soon be going on an expedition to the Western Regions."

"At that time, you will be the regent."

Prince Tai disregarded everything else and hurriedly went to the table to sit down, first pouring tea for his elder brother.

Prince Tai was truly afraid, not because he feared Chengqian would secure his position as crown prince.

Rather, it was because they were afraid he wouldn't be able to sit still.

If he were in this lousy position, he'd rather be dead.

"Oh?"

Chengqian was taken aback upon hearing this.

What follows is resistance.

His father had already started showing him some old memorials and occasionally entrusting him with minor matters to review and handle.

Even if Chengqian wanted to appear mediocre, his abilities had been ingrained in him for so many years of study.

Even if he subconsciously concealed his talents, in the eyes of the emperor and his ministers, he still had great potential.

He's a bit inexperienced, but quite capable; he has the makings of a wise ruler.

This was the unanimous assessment of the ministers.

Now... he's going to oversee the country?

Chengqian swallowed hard, as if he could see the menacing throne walking towards him step by step.

"No."

Chengqian suddenly stood up.

He planned to emulate Jie and Zhou... Just as Chengqian thought of this, he suddenly remembered something.

The Empress Dowager is still alive.

Grandpa and Grandma are still alive.

Soon, the prince, who wanted to emulate the tyrants Jie and Zhou, withered like a frostbitten eggplant.

If he dares to emulate the actions of Jie and Zhou, his grandmother will most likely emulate the actions of Wang Fuhao.

She transformed into a female general and hung him under the Wude Hall to whip him.

He had no doubt that his grandmother was capable of doing such a thing.

The Empress Dowager might even applaud and cheer from the sidelines.

"Your Majesty, we cannot let the court officials be too comfortable."

"They keep praising you for having the appearance of a wise ruler."

"Let's just give them more responsibilities."

Prince Tai felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the look in his elder brother's eyes.

Seeing that he obediently sat back down, she understood that it was because her mother and grandmother were there.

We need to distract him now.

"Oh?"

"Tell me, what should we do?"

Chengqian became interested and looked at Prince Tai.

"Better to die than to die, my fellow Daoist."

Prince Tai apologized to the court officials in his heart, and then began to tell his elder brother how to exploit the ministers.

Seeing that Chengqian was listening with great interest, Prince Tai began to narrate even more enthusiastically.

Perhaps he was too engrossed in his narration, so Prince Tai did not notice that Chengqian's gaze towards him had changed.

“Your Majesty’s ideas are all good.”

"If there's a chance in the future, let him do the same."

Chengqian smiled faintly to himself.

He hadn't forgotten that he would later bestow the title of Prince Li Zhixian and Prince Tai Xiaoyao.

Now that you've been granted the title of prince, you have to get things done, right?

Look at the Imperial Uncle, and then look at them. How dare they slack off?

And the imperial sisters, none of them will escape.

They were all confined to the attic, either writing poems and songs or studying fabrics, contributing their talents to the imperial clothing and poetry.

Let's talk about his life when he steps down.

all in all.

None of them are leaving.
