I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 135: You said it, don't say I bullied you when the time comes! (Subscribe, monthly ticket)
As they are both at the saint level, Master Wanfeng is indeed qualified to say these words to Li Chen.

Besides, Lingyan Taoist Sect also responded to the policies and calls of the imperial court.

According to Master Wanfeng's judgment, Li Chen has such strength at this age and is a legitimate emperor who can rule for a long time.

It seems that his grand ambitions are not low. After all, he went to war with the north right after taking office. In addition, the Tiance Dynasty was already strong, so Li Chen would definitely take the opportunity to expand the dynasty.

Before he started practicing, Master Wanfeng had read the books of sages. He knew that the development of several generations of kings was just waiting for the rise of a sage monarch.

It is obvious that Li Chen is a Saint King. No matter what kind of saint he is, he is at the Saint level.

Yesterday, Master Wanfeng could see that the emperor had already begun to regulate the sect, and he also had the ability to do so.

Anyway, we have already established a relationship through cooperation, so we can take this relationship a step further.

There are many benefits for his daughter to develop in the imperial capital. First of all, if there are any new policies in the imperial capital, his daughter will definitely be the first to know about them. Then she can send someone to inform him directly, and he can be ahead of other sects, prepare for the policies in advance, and gain more benefits when the policies are implemented.

You can even take charge of this policy and seek maximum benefits.

The second thing is to build personal connections and expand the sect's influence, which can make the sect safer.

Why do sects want to form an alliance?

Isn't it just that there is a force that cannot be resisted alone, so everyone sticks together for warmth.

In recent years, there have been infighting among the major alliances, resulting in many casualties.

The Tiance Dynasty is a huge country, and not every sect can contend with it, so try to make friends with it and avoid making enemies.

Last night, Master Wanfeng was thinking about how to make friends with Li Chen. As he was thinking about it, his daughter walked into the hall, and he immediately knew what to do.

At that time he talked about this matter with his daughter, and his daughter did not object, so the matter was finalized.

When Master Wanfeng saw that Li Chen was a little hesitant, he immediately started to promote his daughter.

"Your Majesty, my daughter also has the dual attributes of wind and fire. Her strength is indeed a little lacking, so she can't be of much help, but she has made some achievements in alchemy. She is also very serious about her work, has a very good temper, and is well-educated and reasonable."

Xia Qing felt a little embarrassed to say these words.

She was well-known in the Jiuyuan Holy Land for her arrogance and dominance, and had a very bad temper. She was not well-educated or well-mannered, and at most she knew a little about alchemy.

Under normal circumstances, if her father said that her strength was a little lacking, she would definitely refute it.

But compared with Li Chen, no matter how weak she is, it is reasonable. After all, her father is weaker than Li Chen, let alone herself.

When Xia Qing saw her father promoting herself, she would steal glances at Li Chen from time to time, as if she was afraid that Li Chen didn't want her.

She is the object of pursuit of thousands of cultivation geniuses in the central part of the Tiance Dynasty. It is hard to imagine that she could show such an expression.

Li Chen was not hesitant, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

After Master Wanfeng spoke for the second time, Li Chen replied, "Since Sect Master Wanfeng has said so, I will arrange for your daughter to find a suitable career in the imperial capital. You can rest assured about this."

Seeing this, Master Wanfeng glanced at Xia Qing and said, "Why don't you thank your majesty?"

Xia Qing immediately stood in front of Li Chen and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will work hard to repay your grace."

She had seen Li Chen in the secondary hall yesterday. Just by sitting there, Li Chen had already attracted countless women.

If it were someone else, Xia Qing might not agree, but since this person was Li Chen, she was afraid that Li Chen would not agree.

We’ll take our time in the future, now we have to get close to Li Chen first.

Things have come to this point, and today's investigation work is almost done, so Li Chen left Lingyan Taoist Sect.

Xia Qing still had to pack up and get ready before heading to the imperial capital.

Many things also require personal instructions from Master Wanfeng.

Li Chen’s second stop was the Qingming Immortal Sect. Before he arrived, the people of the Qingming Immortal Sect were already making preparations.

The place where the leader of Qingming Immortal Sect was in seclusion in the back mountain. When Dai Hongling came here, she actually felt a little guilty.

After what happened a few days ago, she felt a little sorry for her fellow Taoist.

Even though her relationship with her fellow Taoist was not harmonious, she was in a sect with relatively conservative ideas, and they still attached great importance to things like chastity.

When she arrived here, she saw her fellow Taoist sitting in meditation with his eyes closed in a spirit gathering formation.

There is already plenty of spiritual energy here, and being in this kind of formation can quickly improve one's cultivation.

Sect Master Yue Yang naturally heard the sound of someone coming to the door. The footsteps were very familiar. Could it be his annoying Taoist partner or someone else?
Yue Yang didn't want to see this woman at all.

Yue Yang is a traditional and old-fashioned cultivator who is very concerned about his reputation. He had been attacked by his enemies before and suffered serious injuries, so he is not very capable in that area.

But he was afraid of being looked down upon by his fellow Taoists, so he kept finding excuses to avoid them.

As a result, their relationship became increasingly worse, and they even quarreled whenever they met.

When he heard Dai Hongling coming, he still closed his eyes and asked Dai Hongling what happened in Yunhai City.

Dai Hongling recounted what had happened, and was mercilessly mocked by Yue Yang.

"You are a bunch of spineless guys. You have brought shame to our sect's monks."

His words made Dai Hongling feel that it was simply easy talk.

If you had felt it yesterday, you would have known that it was not a matter of dignity. Even a strong woman like Mu Qingrou knelt down. What could we do?

You didn't even dare to go yesterday, and you just sit here and make sarcastic remarks.

Dai Hongling said angrily: "Today is your chance to prove yourself. His Majesty is going to visit our sect. You can go and give it a try."

Don’t you think you are capable? It’s not like I didn’t give you a chance. Go to His Majesty and prove that you are a man of courage, then I will respect you.

Yue Yang is just being tough, that doesn't mean he is a fool.

His strength is not as good as Dingtian Shangren, nor as good as Mu Qingrou.

One of the two men was arrested and the other knelt down.

No matter from which aspect, it proves that this emperor is stronger than him.

Yue Yang was very concerned about his reputation. If he was humiliated by the emperor, how would he survive in the sect and establish his authority in front of the disciples?

He definitely won't go, but he can still talk nonsense.

Yue Yang said that it was inconvenient for him to go out at the critical moment of his cultivation.

Dai Hongling said bluntly, if you are afraid, then be afraid, why make excuses?

Yue Yang said angrily, "What do you know as a woman? Are you at the Saint level?"
The two of them started arguing.

After arguing for a while, Dai Hongling remembered the important matter and asked Yue Yang, the sect leader. Li Chen came in person this time and wanted to discuss cooperation and development with Qingming Immortal Sect. How could Yue Yang, as the sect leader, not go?

Yue Yang didn’t want to lose face anyway, so he said, “As the sect representative, you should accompany the emperor to visit the sect. I don’t have time.”

Dai Hongling is so angry now. Do you think I am willing to endure your anger here?
The emperor is young and handsome. Not only is he powerful, he is also strong in that aspect. I wish I could accompany him every day.

You want me to accompany him, right? Sure, I'll go and make sure he's comfortable!

Make your Yueyang happy!
Thinking of this, Dai Hongling straightened her clothes and swayed her graceful figure to greet Li Chen.

The Qingming Immortal Sect is a relatively ancient sect. Many things in the sect, from the sect hall to the steps, have a certain sense of historical accumulation.

Everything is full of charm.

This is something that those newly developed sects do not have, that is, historical background.

The practitioners of Qingming Immortal Sect are also relatively traditional. They are not good at flattery, but they will express respect for Li Chen. This was Li Chen’s first impression when he came here to investigate.

Dai Hongling naturally came to receive Li Chen in person and introduced every location of Qingming Immortal Sect to Li Chen.

The Qingming Immortal Sect covers a very large area. It not only has spiritual fields, but also places for raising spiritual beasts.

Dai Hongling let the other elders go about their business, and she took Li Chen around the sect alone.

Li Chen looked at her graceful figure. There was no one else around, so he had some thoughts about her. After all, with a relationship like theirs, there was no need to be too shy. He didn't have a great time last time.

But before Li Chen could say anything, Dai Hongling took the initiative to bring him to the entrance of her cave and invited Li Chen in.

Li Chen naturally didn't say anything polite and came out two hours later.

Dai Hongling did fulfill the sect master's request and accompanied Li Chen well, making Li Chen very satisfied with this inspection of the Qingming Immortal Sect.

The leader of the neighboring Lingyan Taoist Sect, Zhenren Wanfeng, might never have imagined that the leader of the Qingming Immortal Sect was in seclusion and would be received by himself. Why is it that the sect that Li Chen is most satisfied with is not them, but the Qingming Immortal Sect?

How could Li Chen not be satisfied? Last time, Dai Hongling was relatively passive, but this time she was very proactive. Even that night, the two of them made an appointment to meet somewhere else and seriously discussed the subsequent development of the "sect".

Yueyang was still feeling lucky that he didn't lose face this time, but he still had the hat on.

Next, Li Chen naturally came to Tianyan Divine Sect. This was not Li Chen’s first time here, but he still needed to act like it was his first time.

It’s not that Fairy Youlan and Fairy Yuehua don’t want to serve Li Chen well, but there are too many elders who are kneeling and licking Li Chen, so they have no chance at all.

No matter where Li Chen went, there would be a large group of elders introducing him to him.

In their opinion, since the suzerain had offended this powerful emperor, they had to work hard to show their performance so that the emperor would not bear a grudge against them.

Some elders even said that they would take their disciples to the north for some training in the near future to help Li Chen achieve his eternal foundation!

The idea is good and the starting point is also good. Li Chen thinks they are very smart.

Anyway, Fairy Youlan and Fairy Yuehua are both Li Chen's people, and they are always available at his call, so there is no need to rush.

After Li Chen left, the elders of Tianyan Divine Sect all sighed that Emperor Li Chen was quite friendly, and he also spoke highly of the sect, which made them look bright.

Because if Li Chen was an ordinary emperor, the powerful people in the sect would think that what he said was an insult.

But Li Chen's strength is far above theirs, and to be evaluated by Li Chen is the honor of the sect.

Each of these elders felt that it was all their own credit. If it weren't for their eloquence, the sect would have encountered an unprecedented crisis.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Youlan and Fairy Yuehua were speechless. What do you guys know? If it weren’t for the good service we had given him, Li Chen wouldn’t have been so easy to talk to. It was all our silent contributions!

Seeing Li Chen leave, the two of them were still a little reluctant and were thinking about what reason they could find to go to the imperial capital.

Ever since they tasted the sweetness, both girls looked as if they were never satisfied.

Li Chen can get all kinds of benefits. Anyway, these three sects will definitely firmly support the court policies in the future. So now there is only one sect that needs to be considered, and that is Ziyun Immortal Mansion.

Ziyun Immortal Mansion is an all-female sect. According to Fairy Youlan, the women here are all very arrogant.

Li Chen also observed during the dinner that day that Mu Qingrou was indeed somewhat stubborn and unyielding, and very powerful, and she was not as flattering to him as the leaders of other sects.

It is said that she is also somewhat misogynistic.

It might not be easy to deal with Mu Qingrou, but Li Chen thinks it is not difficult either.

Ziyun Immortal Palace is located in the south-central part of the Tiance Dynasty, where there are beautiful mountains and rivers and filled with clouds and mist.

As an all-female sect, it would naturally attract the attention of some scoundrels.

Therefore, there are many restrictions around the Ziyun Immortal Mansion. Various small formations and the large protective formation complement each other, making the power of the restrictions even greater.

In addition, Mu Qingrou herself is very powerful and has the personality to fight whenever she disagrees with someone, so countless people have been disabled by her.

This horrific record has made the area around Ziyun Immortal Mansion a forbidden area for many male practitioners.

Today, Mu Qingrou came to the mountain gate in person to welcome Li Chen. She was not afraid that Li Chen would be hurt by the sect's restrictions, but she was afraid that Li Chen would dismantle the sect's restrictions.

Li Chen is also the first male cultivator to enter the Ziyun Immortal Palace in nearly a hundred years.

Mu Qingrou was dressed normally today, no different from last time, and she didn't dress up specially for Li Chen.

Because with her beauty, she is already top-notch even without makeup.

Mu Qingrou's mouth is thin and rosy, her eyes are big and bright, and her nose is not as small as that of other women, but straight, making her facial features look particularly three-dimensional, delicate and beautiful.

Just standing there, he exudes a kind of unparalleled aura, which is the aura that only a top swordsman can have.

Every time Li Chen saw her, he had a clean and refreshed feeling.

After Mu Qingrou led him into the sect, he discovered that the female disciples of the Ziyun Immortal Mansion were all beautiful, at least that's all he saw.

But these female disciples were a little green and looked inexperienced.

They were used to each other's company and cultivation on a daily basis, and had never seen a man in the sect.

The sword lights flickered and the sword shadows intertwined. Although the female disciples' sword skills were sharp, their eyes would occasionally slip from the tips of the swords and secretly look at Li Chen.

They tried to remain reserved, but they could hardly conceal their excitement and curiosity.

In the dark, many women were secretly looking over here. These women were older and were the elders of the Ziyun Immortal Mansion.

This made Mu Qingrou feel a little embarrassed. Those female disciples who were practicing sword nearby were chosen by her just to show off in front of Li Chen, the emperor of the Saint Realm.

They were practicing sword skills just now and they were doing fine, but as soon as Li Chen came, these female disciples became like novices, their sword skills were a mess and there was no method at all, it was really embarrassing!

And those elders of the sect, look at the clothes you are wearing, do you look like proper sect monks?

This is the Ziyun Immortal Palace, not a place of entertainment!

Mu Qingrou glared back at them one by one, and only then did the female disciples of the Immortal Palace restrain themselves.

She couldn't help but feel a headache when she saw the slightly inappropriate behavior of the female disciples.

"Ahem." Mu Qingrou coughed twice, then looked at Li Chen with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the female disciples of Ziyun Immortal Mansion practice very hard on weekdays. It's rare for them to see a male cultivator. It's inevitable that they are a little curious. I hope Your Majesty doesn't mind."

She wanted to find an excuse to cover up the matter.

Li Chen smiled and said, "It's okay. I used to stay at home and practice often, so I understand."

Li Chen was too lazy to say "I" here, and his purpose was to shorten the distance.

On the way to inspect the sect, Li Chen felt that Mu Qingrou seemed to be worried and hesitated to speak many times, so he said: "If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I will do my best to help you."

Mu Qingrou glanced at Li Chen and said, "Your Majesty, I sensed the aura of Heavenly Dao Sword Qi on you that day, and I dare to ask you for advice."

If Mu Qingrou wants to make progress in her cultivation at this level, the best way is to challenge the strong and thus know her own shortcomings.

However, the only strong man in the central part of the Tiance Dynasty who could fight against her was Dingtian Shangren.

Dingtianshangren is a very secretive guy. He usually won't take action and won't fight with her.

When she saw Li Chen that day, she felt that the golden divine light contained an extremely strong sword intent. As a top swordsman, she would definitely not be wrong.

At this time, Li Chen to Mu Qingrou was like a wolf that had been hungry for a long time and finally saw a piece of meat. He was really greedy.

She couldn't wait to fight with Li Chen, but was afraid of offending Li Chen, so she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Hearing Li Chen say this, she took the initiative to speak.

In fact, if she didn't say it, Li Chen would have said it.

Li Chen's purpose this time was to find an excuse, saying that he wanted to learn the sword skills of Ziyun Immortal Mansion. In that case, ordinary disciples would definitely not be qualified to fight with him, so Mu Qingrou could only do it herself.

The two of them can increase their understanding of each other through the exchange of sword techniques.

The next step is to beat her into submission, and then find a way to take him in.

It would be best if you could make her sincerely convinced, then she will take the initiative in all aspects.

Now that he heard that she took the initiative to ask for a sparring match, Li Chen naturally would not refuse.

But he couldn't say it too urgently, so Li Chen said, "Since Palace Master Mu wants to learn swordsmanship, let's give it a try."

Hearing this, Mu Qingrou nodded firmly and began to prepare the venue for this competition.

Considering that Li Chen's strength was too strong, the two of them chose to be in a restricted formation, so that even if a fight broke out, it would not cause huge damage to the entire area.

When the women of Ziyun Immortal Mansion heard that the Lord of the Mansion wanted to exchange sword skills with Li Chen, it was a competition between saints.

If they can learn a few tricks or understand something, it will benefit them a lot.

Not to mention the female disciples, even some elders who were in seclusion came out to watch after hearing about this incident.

Before long, the area around the sparring site between Li Chen and Mu Qingrou was crowded with people.

Mu Qingrou did not stop them. After all, this was a rare scene. What they could understand depended on their abilities, but she also had to understand it to be worthy of Li Chen's help.

After instructing the elders to maintain order, Mu Qingrou came to Li Chen and said, "Your Majesty, please try your best to use your true skills and don't let me."

Li Chen replied: "No problem, I'll try my best."

This is what you said, so don't say that I bullied you when the time comes.

If I were to fight you proactively, I wouldn't dare to go too far. If I really went too far, wouldn't that mean I was deliberately beating you up?

If you ask to fight me, I won't let you!
