Finally, Yuan Tiangang walked up the long stairs and reached the highest point. He looked at the dragon throne made of pure gold, seeming to sigh and feel sentimental.

He looked at Li Xingyun and said, "But because of you, I hesitated for decades!"

Yuan Tiangang has been domineering and hard-hearted for three hundred years, but he is different towards Li Xingyun, and he has put in even more effort for him.

He once regarded Li Xingyun as the only hope for the continuation of the Tang Dynasty. However, because of Li Xingyun, he experienced disappointment again and again and hesitated many times.

Yuan Tiangang is worthy of the Tang Dynasty and even more worthy of Li Xingyun, but he is not worthy of himself and those people involved in the game, including the fake Li, Yang Shuzi, and so on.

They were all pawns chosen by Yuan Tiangang for the sake of Li Xingyun's growth.

Now, Yuan Tiangang finally regarded himself as the last chess piece, putting a perfect end to this game.

This situation started because of him and ended because of him.

There is a beginning and an end.

When the game started again, the player playing chess was no longer Yuan Tiangang.

Li Xingyun disagreed and said, "For three hundred years, you have enjoyed every success and failure, right?"

Yuan Tiangang sat down slowly, chuckled, and said, "It seems that Your Highness still doesn't understand, that's all!"

He took off his mask and hat and put them aside, revealing his hideous face. There was no skin or hair, only flesh and bones visible. There were no lips, only teeth exposed.

"sit."

Yuan Tiangang sat on the ground, his body slightly hunched. Then he asked Meng Fan and Li Xingyun to sit down.

"For three hundred years, I have disdained to drink with anyone except my close friend Li Chunfeng, but today you are barely qualified to sit on the same level with me."

Yuan Tiangang took a jar of fine wine from his side, opened it, poured a bowl for Meng Fan and Li Xingyun respectively, handed them to the two, and said: "Here, I will use this fine wine that has been sealed for thirty years to toast the two young princes."

Yuan Tiangang clinked his bowls with the two men, then drank the whole thing in one gulp. He looked at the two men and asked, "How is it?"

Li Xingyun also drank it all in one gulp, and just frowned and said, "It's okay."

Meng Fan, however, seemed to be tasting wine. He took a sip and put the wine bowl down, saying with a smile, "Golden wine, jade wine, cinnamon wine, and pepper wine, naturally they are not bad."

Li Xingyun glanced at Meng Fan and looked at the wine bowl in his hand with some suspicion. Were they both drinking from the same jar of wine?

Listening to the two's answers, Yuan Tiangang chuckled a few times and said with regret: "It's a pity that I will never know the taste of this."

"It doesn't matter if I don't know, it's bitter!"

Li Xingyun exposed it mercilessly.

"Hahaha!"

"Even if it's hard, it's good!"

Yuan Tiangang sighed and said that after taking the elixir of immortality, he became possessed, his meridians went backwards, and he had long lost his sense of taste and smell. Food was tasteless to him, and he lived a tasteless life for three hundred years.

"Why, do you think I shouldn't be like this, sitting here and drinking with you like a useless old man?"

"How can a useless person live for three hundred years? Not knowing the sweetness and bitterness of life is the price you pay for immortality." Li Xingyun's words were as sharp as a knife.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang laughed a few times with some tiredness, then looked at Li Xingyun and asked, "So what do you think, should I continue to live, or should I stop here?"

Li Xingyun had a calm expression and did not express his opinion. Instead, he said, "How would I know what you should do? Just like you don't know what I should do."

It seems that he said nothing, but in fact he was accusing Yuan Tiangang of interfering in his life.

"wrong!"

"In this world, I am the only one who knows you, and I am the only one who knows you!"

"You are in the trap set by me. Although you have a deep understanding of things and insight into the current situation, you will not become emperor in the end, right?" Yuan Tiangang said in an affirmative tone.

"But you know that I will not give up unless I fulfill my wish. And you know that even if everyone gathers their strength, they cannot get rid of me."

"So, you entered the underground palace with me to wait for a change that would allow me to stay here forever, right?"

After he finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang handed Li Xingyun another bowl of wine. Li Xingyun took it with a stern face. Yuan Tiangang had already guessed most of what he was thinking, as if he could not hide his thoughts from the other party at all.

Then, Yuan Tiangang said, "Now you have another reason, which is revenge for your brother Wuming who became my pawn and almost died!"

Li Xingyun's heart skipped a beat. Yuan Tiangang had predicted everything he had been thinking. With hatred in his eyes, he said, "You really do know me very well!"

Yuan Tiangang also picked up a bowl of wine, as if inviting him to drink. He seemed to be unaware of the bitterness and drank it first. Then he said quietly: "For decades, I have only had eyes for you. How could I not understand?"

Meng Fan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Yuan Tiangang's words, and said, "You clearly understand him, but you still refuse to give up. Aren't you a little too stubborn?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said, "It's not stubbornness, it's that I have no choice. It can also be considered as... my preference!"

Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Xingyun, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.

For three hundred years, he had been childless. Li Xingyun was the child he had watched grow up and the one he had devoted the most efforts to. As the saying goes, one hopes one's son will become a successful person. How much he hoped that Li Xingyun could reach that position and become the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, under the guidance of Yang Shuzi, he went astray, and even if he wanted to correct his mistakes, he couldn't change them back.

Based on this point alone, Yang Shuzi's death was not unjust. Of course, this was just Yuan Tiangang's wishful thinking.

Then, Yuan Tiangang looked at Meng Fan and asked, "What about His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin? Do you think I should die or live?"

Meng Fan put down the wine bowl and sighed, "One wrong step, all wrong steps. Maybe from the beginning, you chose the wrong person. Now you can only end up losing everything. And I don't need to say more about the loser's ending, right?"

Yuan Tiangang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I already understand!"

"Your Highness, please take shelter for the time being for what is to come!"

Yuan Tiangang sat on the ground and performed a heavy and slow ceremony towards Meng Fan, bowing deeply.

Meng Fan nodded, then slowly stood up and walked down the stairs until he was out of the heavy stone door.

"King Qin?!"

"Why did the King of Qin come out?"

The princes outside the door were talking about it.

Lu Linxuan also asked: "Your Highness Prince Qin, where is my senior brother? How is he?"

Zhang Zifan also bowed and said, "How is Brother Li? I hope His Royal Highness Prince Qin will let me know!"

Meng Fan lowered his voice and said to everyone, "Li Xingyun and Yuan Tiangang have their own issues to deal with. From now on, you will just wait for the result with me."

At this time, in the stone gate, after seeing Meng Fan leave, Yuan Tiangang immediately changed his expression. He stood up and said, "Li Xingyun, you win. I will do my best to help you inherit the throne."

"But now it seems that all the plans have failed, but you have also lost. You once boasted that to stop the chaos and help the world, you need the wisdom of the people to unite as one."

"But you know that person doesn't exist now, and I won't let him exist in the future. Because your Li family won't do anything about it, I have no choice but to take out all the Longquan treasures, and then..."

"Personally, proclaim yourself emperor!"

Yuan Tiangang was seen slowly putting on a mask for himself, his eyes were dim and unclear, and he looked quite ambitious.

"you?!"

Li Xingyun exclaimed.

"Why? I have been a minister to the emperor and have worked hard to maintain the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years. I have spent my entire life carefully managing this awkward situation. Now that you have no one in the Li family, don't I have the qualifications to do this?"

"I can carry on the aspirations of the world, shock the princes and the people, and create a prosperous Tang Dynasty again. Now you can't do it. Do I still not have the qualifications?"

Yuan Tiangang's voice became louder and louder, becoming more and more powerful.

Li Xingyun immediately retorted: "In addition to me, there is also the King of Qin in my Li family."

It would have been better if Li Xingyun didn't say anything. As soon as he mentioned King Qin, Yuan Tiangang actually burst into laughter.

"King Qin?"

"He lives in a corner, is good at defending but not at making progress. Moreover, he has the blood of a bastard, and his mother is from a poor family. How can he be the ruler of the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years?"

"No matter how intelligent he is, how capable he is of governing the world, or how powerful he is, can he be compared to my three hundred years of power?"

"I, the commander, can conquer the world by myself!"

"Humph, a mere King Qin, I can easily destroy him!"

Although Yuan Tiangang said this, he actually wanted to arouse Li Xingyun's hatred towards him.

If he really fought with Meng Fan, I'm afraid it wouldn't take more than three moves before Yuan Tiangang would be defeated.

Sure enough, upon hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Li Xingyun's expression changed immediately: "You want to kill my brother and wipe out my entire Li family?"

"No!"

Yuan Tiangang turned to look at Li Xingyun and said quietly, "At least I can guarantee that you will survive!"

[The damn boomerang finally hit Li Xingyun. At this moment, Yuan Tiangang inexplicably felt that these words were somewhat familiar.]

"However, I will cripple your hands and feet, and you will live in a dark dungeon until you die. I will let you see with your own eyes how I rebuild the Tang Dynasty and how powerful the Tang Dynasty will be in the future!"

Afterwards, Yuan Tiangang threw a manual to Li Xingyun and said in a consecrating tone: "This is a gift I brought back for you from that isolated island."

Li Xingyun looked at the title on the page, and his pupils suddenly shrank: "Longquan Sword Art?!"

The ferocious stone dragon hanging in the air flickered in the light of the fire, as if foreshadowing the future and destiny of the Tang Dynasty.

Yuan Tiangang said: "Yes, there is this besides Yi Si Zhan. If you learn it, you will be considered as that person's disciple, and if I beat you, I will have defeated him."

"Finally, you and I have come to the end. A battle is inevitable. From today on, only one of the tyranny and the way of heaven will survive. Whether the future will prosper or decline depends on whether you are strong or weak!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang swept the Longquan sword with all his strength, causing it to fall into Li Xingyun's palm. Then he put his hands behind his back and walked down the stairs.

"If you have the way but not the technique, you can still learn the technique. If you have the technique but not the way, it will only be the technique. Yuan Tiangang, today I will risk everything to stop you!" Li Xingyun said with all his might.

"Master, please wait!"

At the same time, outside the underground palace of Longquan treasure, on the shore of the salt lake.

A member of the Xuanming Sect reported to Zhong Xiaokui: "Master Zhong Kui, everything is ready!"

Zhong Xiaokui looked at the sun in the sky and waited until it set. Then she said, "It's almost time!"

-----

In the Longquan Underground Palace.

The fight between Li Xingyun and Yuan Tiangang was particularly fierce.

Li Xingyun used the complete Longquan Sword Technique, his body was filled with the most yang energy, when he attacked, his body was covered with golden energy, his sword skills were sharp, as fast as golden light, as fierce as thunder, his sword slashed out like a divine sword breaking the sun, with incomparable power and unstoppable momentum.

However, for Yuan Tiangang, it was far from enough. He couldn't even hurt him at all. He just slapped Li Xingyun away with a palm, and even the golden energy that protected his body was dispersed.

Yuan Tiangang put one hand behind his back and said to Li Xingyun in anger: "Is this all you have?"

"Although the Longquan Sword Technique is exquisite, it still requires more time and practice. However, I will not give you this opportunity. Li Chunfeng's ghost is still lingering around, so I am afraid you can only regret it in your grave!"

Li Xingyun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and attacked again with the sword in hand, as if venting all the anger in his heart, and shouted: "It's you who is haunting me!"

"You defied heaven and changed fate, using the lives of the people of the world to fulfill your own selfish wishes. Now you are even trying to ascend the throne and become emperor. If you become emperor and use force to kill and slaughter people, will there be peace in the world?"

Unexpectedly, Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly and said, "Yes, when I ascend the throne, I will definitely wash the mountains and rivers with blood. Then I will let everyone in the world know that the greatest suffering in the world comes from you abandoning your people!"

Yuan Tiangang constantly provoked Li Xingyun's heartstrings, provoked him with words, and stimulated him with words. Whatever Li Xingyun cared about most, Yuan Tiangang wanted to destroy.

And outside the stone gate of the underground palace.

Zhang Zifan seemed to have discovered something, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "The bad commander's goal is to make Brother Li the emperor. Even if Brother Li doesn't agree, the two of them won't fight each other. Why is this happening?"

At this time, Li Cunxu sang in an operatic voice: "Could it be that the bad commander is going to rebel?"

The Mirror Heart Demon looked at Li Cunxu with fear, shook his head and sighed: "Li Cunxu, he is indeed not like an ordinary person!"

The words of Jing Xin Mo were tantamount to directly confirming what Li Cunxu said, and the other princes looked at each other in bewilderment: "The bad commander wants to rebel, what should we do?"

Meng Po sighed quietly, as if she was regretting something.

Zhang Zifan still shook his head and said, "Something is wrong. Since the Bad Commander wants to rebel, why did he have to wait until now? Time is meaningless to him, and the Longquan treasure is even more useless to him, isn't it?"

"There must be something wrong here!"

At this moment, Zhang Zifan suddenly saw Meng Fan, who was at ease. His face was calm, as if he had already anticipated this scene, and as if he was waiting for a certain ending.

Zhang Zifan couldn't help but think of the rumored agreement between King Qin and Commander Buliang. If Yuan Tiangang were still alive, Meng Fan would never interfere in the situation in Central Plains.

All of this is like seeing flowers in the fog. All it takes is a breakthrough to see the overall situation.

Suddenly, Zhang Zifan thought of a possibility.

Unless... the outcome that the King of Qin is waiting for has already been determined, and it is in his favor!
