Poverty

Chapter 1872 Go Back!

Hong Tiangang unleashed his power and attacked Li Yanchu.

After obtaining the Nine Paths of Proof from Li Yanchu, his power greatly increased. At this moment, he used his incomparably powerful Dao power to drive the Nine Paths of Proof he had comprehended to attack Li Yanchu.

He deliberately wanted to use this method to suppress Li Yanchu.

Perhaps Li Yanchu's talent was too amazing, making him secretly jealous, or perhaps he wanted to use this to promote his own progress during this period.

At this moment, Li Yanchu unleashed a slash, the blade light extremely sharp, directly piercing into Hong Tiangang's nine paths of verification.

Hong Tiangang's cultivation technique was originally very powerful, and his Dao Jing was flawless. However, after he activated Li Yanchu's Nine Daos of Proof, the power of which greatly increased, a sense of disharmony arose.

Li Yanchu's strike struck this flaw, and in an instant, the Dao landscape within Hong Tiangang's seemingly invincible body was severed.

Li Yanchu's blade flashed, extinguishing his life force with overwhelming force.

Hong Tiangang was extremely surprised. He tried his best to suppress Li Yanchu's sword light, but the power of annihilation in Li Yanchu's sword light was extremely strong. An annihilation void appeared in his body. Hong Tiangang screamed and could not withstand this terrible pressure. His life force was cut off!
His death was indeed somewhat unjust. Even though Li Yanchu's cultivation has greatly increased, it would not be easy for him to take Li Yanchu's life in a fight. However, Hong Tiangang happened to have cultivated Li Yanchu's Nine Paths of Proof, so it can only be said that it would not be easy for him to take advantage of Li Yanchu.

At this moment, Li Yanchu killed Hong Tiangang with a single stroke, which shocked everyone around him.

Lin Wanqiu also stared in disbelief at the young man who had suddenly appeared.

This man actually killed Hong Tiangang with a single strike, which greatly moved Lin Wanqiu.

Without the slightest hesitation, Venerable Joy and his companions immediately set out to flee.

Hong Tiangang was killed with a single blow, which also means that none of them were a match for this man.

But at this moment, Li Yanchu swung his sword and struck. With one strike, Venerable Huanxi was immediately injured, but the next moment his eyes shone with light.

His cultivation level is formidable; otherwise, given his actions, it would be difficult for him to survive outside.

Hong Tiangang is an arrogant person; otherwise, he wouldn't have valued the Joyful Venerable so much.

The next moment, Venerable Joy shouted, "His previous strike was a bit strange. His true strength isn't that great. Everyone, join forces!"

He spoke very quickly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to kill Li Yanchu.

The large banner radiated a pinkish light, captivating and mesmerizing.

But seeing that Li Yanchu had killed Hong Tiangang with a single blow, the people around him had no desire to fight Li Yanchu anymore.

Such a ruthless person should go back and ask a stronger person to come again; their survival is the most important thing.

They ignored the words of the Venerable Joy; this guy just wanted to find a helper.

Anyway, Li Yanchu wasn't looking for them at the moment. With Venerable Huanxi holding Li Yanchu back, they had plenty of time to leave at their leisure.

Li Yanchu regained his human form from the void of annihilation. As long as they brought this news back, they would gain merit. Who would care about Venerable Joy then?

Even if Venerable Joy is telling the truth, so what?

Who can guarantee that this killing god won't unleash another stunning strike like that?

Therefore, the crowd dispersed like a tide, leaving in no time at all.

The Venerable Joy was furious and couldn't help but jump up and shout, "What are you afraid of! Why are you all afraid of this Li Yanchu! Come back!"

To be honest, he was somewhat afraid of Li Yanchu before, so when Li Yanchu injured him as soon as he made a move, he had no intention of resisting.

But after he was stabbed by Li Yanchu, he found that this guy was not as scary as he had imagined.

Unfortunately, he was already injured and had no help around him. Soon, he was wounded one after another by Li Yanchu's blade, and his hands and feet were cut off.

Li Yanchu's sword flashed fiercely, and the Venerable Huanxi was no match for him.

After fighting him for more than a dozen rounds, Li Yanchu kicked him so hard that his spine was shattered. He screamed in agony and bent over.

Li Yanchu raised his knife and chopped off his head in one stroke.

The Venerable Joy, a powerful Daoist who had acted with impunity, thus perished.

Lin Wanqiu looked at Li Yanchu and said, "Thank you for saving me, Brother Dao."

Like Hong Tiangang, they were in the distant universe and unaware of the many major events that had occurred in the old land.

Li Yanchu asked, "Which family from the old land do you belong to?"

Lin Wanqiu was puzzled by this and shook her head, saying, "I am not from an imperial family; I am just a commoner."

Li Yanchu nodded.

If she were from an imperial family, Li Yanchu would have to consider whether to kill her.

Seeing that Li Yanchu's question was strange, Lin Wanqiu became curious and asked, "How should I address you, fellow Daoist?"

Li Yanchu said, "You really don't recognize me?"

Lin Wanqiu said, "I don't know him."

She was a little curious; this young man sounded so arrogant, as if it were a mistake for her not to know him.

Li Yanchu said, "I am His Majesty's adopted son. You didn't attend the Grand Court Martial Arts Competition?"

Lin Wanqiu was extremely surprised and said in disbelief, "Brother Dao, you are joking. How could His Majesty have an adopted son?"

But she couldn't tell from Li Yanchu's appearance that he was faking it, because there was no need to make up such a ridiculous story.

Lin Wanqiu asked in surprise, "Are you really His Majesty's adopted son?"

Li Yanchu nodded and said, "That's right, the champion of the Grand Assembly Martial Arts Competition."

Lin Wanqiu was moved. She hadn't had time to attend the Grand Court Assembly before, as she had been working for the Immortal Dynasty in the universe. She never expected that the person in front of her was actually the leader of the Grand Court Assembly's martial arts competition.

However, Lin Wanqiu also had some doubts in her heart.
"If that's the case, why did you transform into a void of nothingness earlier, fellow Daoist?"

She was also puzzled. Was the Void of Annihilation a fake? How could it have regained its human form?

Li Yanchu said, "You really don't know anything. The old imperial clans and aristocratic families carried the imperial coffin to force the emperor to abdicate, and they also invited the Dragon Ancestor of Zhenjitian to besiege His Majesty. I don't know the situation there either. I was being chased and killed, and after being seriously injured, I turned into the Desolate Void."

Lin Wanqiu exclaimed in shock, "What? Are you telling the truth?"

Li Yanchu said, "Once you return to your homeland, it will be clear whether what I said is true or false. Why would I lie to you?"

It took Lin Wanqiu a while to come to her senses, and she slowly said, "That's why you asked me earlier which family I belong to."

Li Yanchu said, "That's right. If you were born into an imperial family, I wouldn't be saying these things to you. I would have just killed you. I only told you this because I saw that you still had some loyalty to His Majesty and were unwilling to hand over the divine gold even at the cost of your life."

Lin Wanqiu said, "Is this how the entire court lets the powerful families of the capital cause trouble? Where is the Grand Chancellor? Where is the Grand Tutor? Where is the Imperial Preceptor?"

Li Yanchu said, "The entire court of civil and military officials is colluding with the imperial family and aristocratic clans. The Grand Master of Ceremonies is the instigator. As for the Grand Tutor and the Imperial Preceptor, they are loyal to His Majesty, but I don't know their current situation. I myself am being hunted down by those people. If you want to live, you might as well escape to the distant universe. Perhaps you can avoid this turmoil."

Lin Wanqiu's face suddenly flushed red, and she said angrily, "I am loyal to His Majesty, how could I abandon him at this time? I must return to my homeland and find out the truth." Li Yanchu nodded and said, "That's right, you have this intention, so my saving you wasn't in vain."

Lin Wanqiu had already believed Li Yanchu's words, because what Li Yanchu said was too outrageous, and it was the kind of lie that could be exposed as soon as they returned to their old home.

Furthermore, Li Yanchu could have killed himself; he would never have coveted what was on him.

Lin Wanqiu thought for a moment, then handed over the divine gold in his hand and said, "Since you are His Majesty's adopted son, I will give this divine gold to you first. I will return to the old land alone to investigate."

Li Yanchu said, "If you want to return to your old homeland, you will inevitably be purged. His Majesty's situation was already very bad before I left. I was afraid that he had met with misfortune or been poisoned. If something happens to His Majesty, the forces loyal to him will probably suffer a terrible purge."

Lin Wanqiu had shown such loyalty and righteousness that Li Yanchu didn't want her to suffer any harm because of it.

Lin Wanqiu said, "I have to go back and check it out."

Li Yanchu said, "Alright, but you should keep the divine gold with you."

Lin Wanqiu immediately shook his head and said, "If what you say is true, my life is uncertain. If I carry the divine gold with me, it may fall into the hands of villains. It would be better to hand it over to Your Highness."

Li Yanchu frowned slightly, and Lin Wanqiu said, "Father and son are one. If you accept this, it will be the same as His Majesty accepting it. I hope you will not refuse."

Li Yanchu nodded and put the divine gold away.

Lin Wanqiu continued, "This divine metal contains primordial Dao energy, which His Majesty ordered us to search for. It is incredibly powerful when used to refine spiritual treasures. Your Highness needs to accumulate strength and not act rashly. By using this divine metal to enhance the power of your magical treasures, you can wait patiently for your future comeback."

When Li Yanchu heard the change in how she addressed him, he said, "You believe me now?"

Lin Wanqiu said, "Of course I believe it."

Li Yanchu nodded and said, "This journey truly is a matter of life and death."

Lin Wanqiu said, "Things that need to be done, even if it means losing your head, must be done, right?"

Li Yanchu nodded slightly, showing considerable approval of these words.

But the next moment, a hoarse voice rang out, and a figure arrived through the air, angrily saying, "You two traitors don't need to be modest here! Lin Wanqiu, you colluded with this outsider, today we'll send you both to your deaths!"

Lin Wanqiu said seriously, "Tian Guiyuan, did you hear what we said earlier?"

Only then did Li Yanchu learn the name of this elder of the Tian family.

Tian Guiyuan said coldly, "Of course I heard everything. You two adulterers are here making love, are you afraid of others hearing it?"

Lin Wanqiu ignored his provocation and said with great distress, "His Majesty has always respected the imperial family. Why do you rebel against His Majesty?"

Tian Guiyuan said, "Shao Hongjun is blind to talent. He took this outsider as his adopted son and planned to pass the throne to him, yet he refused to sacrifice himself to avert the great calamity. Shouldn't such a ruler die?"

Lin Wanqiu took a deep breath, and at this moment she finally confirmed that what Li Yanchu said was true.

She found this hard to accept. She had worked so hard to get things done outside, but she never expected that the Immortal Dynasty had undergone such a major upheaval, almost leading to a change of dynasty.

Lin Wanqiu said with great sorrow, "His Majesty's grand ambitions and strategies are beyond the comprehension of people like you. You all deserve to die!"

Tian Guiyuan laughed loudly and said, "Now is the time to change the world, what do you, a woman, know?"

At this moment, he reached out and attacked the two of them.

Li Yanchu's cultivation was formidable, which made him wary. At this moment, he immediately activated the Taiyi Cauldron. The Dao light within the cauldron erupted, dazzling and instantly enveloping the person.

Li Yanchu immediately summoned the jujube tree. With his current cultivation level, summoning the jujube tree again was incredibly powerful. In an instant, it shattered the cauldron, leaving a deep crack on its surface.

The branches of the jujube tree stretched out like writhing dragons. Li Yanchu stood beneath the ancient and majestic tree, which exuded a powerful aura. He said coldly, "You are the traitors and rebels who want to change the world. Fine, I'll let you change it!"

Li Yanchu swung his sword down, and in an instant, countless jujube tree branches transformed into large swords that slashed down fiercely. A sharp light burst forth, and the large cauldron in Tian Guiyuan's hand was immediately shattered into pieces, sending him flying backward.

He was utterly astonished: "Impossible!"

Previously, he killed you, Li Yanchu, completely erasing you from the realm of cause and effect. Now, not only is Li Yanchu not dead, but his cultivation has greatly increased!
Li Yanchu used the power of the jujube tree to sweep away most of Tian Guiyuan's body with a single divine light. Tian Guiyuan was terrified and frantically fled backward.

At this moment, Li Yanchu once again summoned the divine blade. As the blade flashed, Tian Guiyuan's body was cut in two.

At the critical moment, Tian Guiyuan used his supernatural powers to avoid Li Yanchu's fatal blow.

Tian Guiyuan was shocked. With Li Yanchu's current cultivation level, he was no match for the jujube tree.

He frantically tried to escape, but Li Yanchu wasn't about to let him get away.

Li Yanchu raised the jujube tree as a sacrifice, and in an instant, countless branches pierced through Tian Guiyuan's body like a wildly dancing dragon, killing Tian Guiyuan instantly.

He never understood why, even after he had tried to eliminate Li Yanchu from the path of cause and effect, Li Yanchu not only survived but also possessed such formidable strength.

Lin Wanqiu was also somewhat moved and exclaimed, "This is the jujube tree of the Mang Daoist!"

Li Yanchu said, "That's right."

Then a look of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"Your Majesty was injured while trying to seize this jujube tree for me, which also gave these treacherous officials the desire to covet it."

Li Yanchu sighed.

Activating the jujube tree consumed a great deal of energy, and killing Tian Guiyuan finally allowed him to vent his anger.

Li Yanchu said, "Don't rush back to the old land. I'll kill those Dao Domain experts alive first."

Lin Wanqiu said in disbelief, "They've been gone for a long time, where can we find their traces?"

Li Yanchu said, "I couldn't find them before, but now, if I want to kill them, they can't escape."

Lin Wanqiu was shocked.

Li Yanchu's words, though calm, exuded a domineering aura.

Li Yanchu activated the jujube tree, and at that moment, several Dao Domain experts who were flying around suddenly felt branches coming through the air.

The next moment, their chests were pierced, and the Dao power within their bodies was shattered by the Great Dao of the Void.

With the help of this jujube tree, Li Yanchu's cultivation was extremely powerful, so he wasn't in a hurry to pursue and kill him.

With these jujube trees locking them in place, it would be wishful thinking for them to try to escape in the vast void.

After killing those people, the possibility of them returning to the Dao Domain to report the news was also cut off.

Li Yanchu put the jujube tree away. With or without the jujube tree, his combat strength was completely different.

Li Yanchu said, "You are right. His Majesty is currently in a precarious situation. I will return to the capital with you."

Lin Wanqiu said, "Are you coming with me?"

Li Yanchu said, "If His Majesty dies, I will slaughter all the imperial clans and noble families to avenge him. If His Majesty does not die, I will fight alongside him."
