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

Chapter 148 The sky of this world is right in front of you! (Please subscribe and vote)

After the court meeting, the Minister of Justice Pang Jin had important matters to report to Li Chen, so he hurried to the imperial study.

As he walked, he saw the commander of the imperial guards, Li Sixing, following closely and also heading towards the direction of the imperial study.

Seeing this, Pang Jin hurriedly stopped and saluted, saying, "Master Li, you have worked hard. After the court meeting today, I will trouble you to guard the imperial study and ensure the safety of the palace."

Upon hearing this, Li Sixing also stopped and saluted in return, "Master Pang, you are too kind. Protecting the Imperial City is our duty as the Imperial Guards. It is not hard work. Master Pang, as the Minister of Justice, has a very busy schedule and has to come in person to report important matters to His Majesty. It is really very hard work."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two continued on their way towards the imperial study.

After waiting for a while at the door of the imperial study, the eunuch asked them to go in together, saying that it was the emperor's order.

The two of them knew that it seemed that they were going to do the same thing.

Pang Jin came into the imperial study and began to report the results of his investigation during this period.

Here is a secret report, which states that some aristocratic families in the imperial capital have connections with the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Some officials from the six ministries were also involved, including several mid-level officials from the Ministry of Justice.

Recorded here are all people who appeared in the case of the prince's death.

It is not clear who killed the prince, and Pang Jin is only reporting on the progress of the investigation.

In other words, he wanted to tell Li Chen that he had already found out some clues and was not doing useless work.

When the time comes to close the net, most of these people will be sentenced to death, and the core members will even have their entire clans executed.

Then Pang Jin began to report other things, which was the news mentioned by Master Dingtian that many remnants of the previous dynasty were hiding in the Zixiao Palace.

Because only a few days have passed, we can only get partial information and we will have to wait for some time for the details.

However, there is indeed evidence that the remnants of the previous dynasty are in the Zixiao Palace.

Pang Jin judged that the remnants of the previous dynasty had only infiltrated and had not completely taken control of the Zixiao Palace.

The sect is a very special existence, whoever is stronger will come to power.

If the remnants of the previous dynasty want to sneak in, they can only send some extremely talented disciples to join the sect, slowly gain experience, accumulate step by step, and then rise up.

But they cannot guarantee that the following disciples will be able to follow, as there are many geniuses in the sect.

At times like this, relationships can't solve the problem, everyone is competing.

A sect is not an aristocratic family.

For example, if a powerful remnant of the previous dynasty becomes the sect leader, he naturally wants to take control of the sect in his own hands and then pass the position to his own people.

However, if the successor is unable to meet the requirements and is forced to become the clan leader, the clan will quickly decline and never recover.

The competition among sects is extremely brutal; some sects were destroyed perhaps because an outer disciple made rude remarks and offended the Son of Destiny.

Then this son of luck will make it his goal to destroy this sect. If he defeats a small one, a big one will come, and if he defeats a big one, a bigger one will come. As long as the son of luck cannot be killed, his powerful luck will allow him to gain more opportunities.

Finally, the Son of Luck grew up and destroyed the sect.

This is also the main reason why the remnants of the previous dynasty have not been able to take control of the Zixiao Palace for so many years.

Even the royal family cannot guarantee that there will be a son of luck or a strong person in every generation. Li Chen can be regarded as a overlord who emerged during the decline of the Li family.

In every major clan, there are only a handful of geniuses who can reach the top over the thousands of years.

It is not so exaggerated that the Li family developed openly and occupied so many resources, let alone the remnants of the previous dynasty who developed secretly.

It is considered amazing for them to be able to become an elder of a large sect, let alone the saint level.

According to Pang Jin's investigation, among the three known saints in Zixiao Palace, two seem to have no relationship with the remnants of the previous dynasty. They are also unable to contact the mysterious leader mentioned by Dingtian Shangren, nor can they determine his identity.

This is just Pang Jin's preliminary investigation. Without help of the level of Fairy Youlan, Pang Jin doesn't even know where many sects are. It will probably take some time for a detailed investigation to be released.

Li Sixing, who was standing next to him, had nothing to report this time. It was simply Li Chen who asked him to come and understand these things.

No matter what, Li Chen will definitely take care of Zixiao Heavenly Palace. If Zixiao Heavenly Palace does not surrender, the sects in Jiuyuan Holy Land will have worries and will not give their all to help.

Then the imperial guards must be dispatched to follow Li Chen to wipe out those ignorant sects.

Li Chen also asked Li Sixing to be prepared.

Let him get acquainted with Pang Jin and do their jobs well.

As for the information sent by Pang Jin, Li Chen would look at it himself. If there was nothing else, they would say goodbye and go back to work.

At this time, Eunuch Cui also brought a lot of information about the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Li Chen was checking carefully. It was the first time he paid attention to the remnants of the previous dynasty.

Therefore, every emperor would take ruthless measures in this regard, but with little success.

Perhaps many emperors felt that the dynasty would not be at peace unless these guys were eliminated.

But Li Chen was not afraid, and even lost interest after watching for a while.

Because these remnants of the previous dynasty are mostly hiding in aristocratic families and the court, and they are all under Li Chen's nose. What can they do?
Currently, the only ones who can pose some threat to Li Chen are the world's top practitioners.

It's the same thing. Originally, when he was in the palace, he was invincible only in the palace. After touring the imperial capital, he felt that he was invincible in the imperial capital as well. Now, he is gradually going out and fighting with people from various regions. He almost feels that he is invincible in the world.

Li Chen was not crazy, he was just wondering, is there really anyone in this world who can fight with me?

In his opinion, even if the remnants of the previous dynasty were burdened with blood feuds, what mattered was talent and understanding, as well as a bit of chance when it came to cultivation.

If hard work alone is enough, then what is the point of having genius?

What's more, most people with higher talents work harder.

Only in the golden age will there be a lot of powerful people.

According to the current situation, various geniuses seem to have appeared in the world and started competing for supremacy.

I believe that it won’t be long before the golden age of this continent will emerge.

But the problem is that Li Chen is one version ahead of them and has reached the highest level in advance, making him the true big boss of the Tiance Dynasty.

The goal of many geniuses is to defeat Li Chen.

While they were practicing hard in this era, Li Chen had already started practicing the trumpet, and more than one trumpet.

Li Si Ning's progress is slower than before, but the speed is already terrifying compared to other practitioners.

With the support of the system, the minimum guarantee is to reach the Great Perfection of Sainthood. After all, that's what the system says.

Then there is Chu Ruoyan. Li Chen analyzed Chu Ruoyan a few days ago and felt that she had a special physique and her upper limit was probably very high. She just needed to practice well.

There is also Lin Yue'e outside the palace. She is already a local genius and was able to graduate from the Combat Academy. Her talent is needless to say.

Li Si Ning was able to cultivate to the top because she was nourished by the system, but don't forget that Li Chen is Lin Yue'e's "system".

Li Chen can arrange whatever Lin Yue'e lacks or needs.

The most important thing is that Li Chen’s system can also communicate with Lin Yue’e.

Unlike the system on Li Chen, he was too lazy to spray it.

Not only that, Li Chen also snatched a lot of big names like Orchid Fairy and Holy Tiger.

In addition to the old man of the Wu family who had recently come to him, if he could get rid of the Zixiao Heavenly Palace, several saints in the Jiuyuan Holy Land would also obey his orders.

Li Chen was even thinking that with his lineup, let alone anyone who dared to fight him, he couldn't even think of anyone who was qualified to fight him.

Perhaps when the son of destiny in this world develops, he will find that most of the world's strong people are Li Chen's subordinates.

What kind of nightmare-level world is this?
After reading the memorial, Li Chen stretched and was ready to punch out of get off work.

When I arrived at the harem, I heard the sound of weapons clashing.

When I got closer, I realized that it was Chu Ruoyan sparring with Pei Wanyu.

The two of them used sharp sword moves and whistling sword energy, and the fight was back and forth.

Wu Nanzhi and Li Sining next to them were clapping and cheering.

In their eyes, Chu Ruoyan and Pei Wanyu are both very powerful.

Even Xia Qing, who came from a sect, felt that these two women of Li Chen had good foundations.

Seeing Li Chen coming, the two stopped sparring.

The reason why the two of them were competing was because Pei Wanyu had gained some insights after experiencing the attack of the eight-armed demon bear, and her strength had improved, so she wanted to find someone to try it out with.

It just so happened that Chu Ruoyan had also made some progress in her cultivation recently, and the two of them hit it off and began to learn from each other.

Chu Ruoyan was so envious when she saw Pei Wanyu getting promoted.

If a practitioner with solid basic skills wants to achieve a certain breakthrough, he must have a greater understanding, the kind of test of life and death.

Every cultivator who has experienced the trials of life and death can know his own shortcomings, and thus reflect on himself and improve his own strength.

Therefore, for a practitioner, surviving danger is an opportunity.

Chu Ruoyan came to Li Chen and pleaded, "Your Majesty, I want to go out with Sister Wanyu to gain experience and look for a great opportunity."

In order to be promoted, she was very serious! Because chance is so mysterious, sometimes you may not encounter it once in your lifetime.

Just like before, when she was practicing, she also went to various dangerous places and experienced life and death, which led to her current level of cultivation.

The palace was too safe, and she always felt that it lacked that feeling that could allow her to gain some insights.

Hearing her say this, Li Chen replied seriously: "It's not that difficult to find an opportunity. Am I not the greatest opportunity you can encounter?"

In Li Chen's opinion, what you call opportunity is danger, and I am the most dangerous person in this world.

If you want to go through a life-and-death test, just come to me. There's no need to go somewhere too troublesome.

Because, I can kill you anytime I want!

You go out to know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is, but the sky of this world is right in front of you!

The sudden force shocked all the women present.

Not everyone can exude this kind of arrogance that is unique in the world!
Wu Nanzhi even felt that Li Chen had finished showing off before she could react!

As if feeling that these women didn't quite believe it, Li Chen asked them to stand in front of him together.

Li Chen picked up a sword at random.

The next second, a snow-white sword light flashed, and the sword was so fast that it was frightening.

Hundreds of sword beams shook between heaven and earth, forming an extremely terrifying pressure.

Every sword beam wielded an extremely powerful sword energy.

When the sword was swung, the whistling sound of the sword was like a dragon's roar.

The sword energy transformed into giant golden dragons, causing the heaven and earth to tremble.

It can be said that every sword energy can turn any one of them into ashes.

And all these terrifying sword energies passed by them.

The breath of death instantly enveloped Chu Ruoyan and others.

The moment Li Chen swung his sword, they felt that their life and death were in Li Chen's hands.

In their eyes, Li Chen is a terrifying existence that can destroy everything.

The extremely strong impact of death made their hearts beat wildly and their bodies tremble unconsciously.

Wu Nanzhi and Li Sining, who were weaker in strength, even sat down on the ground.

Pei Wanyu heard that Li Chen was very powerful and had some doubts at first. But now she realized that she had underestimated Li Chen, or rather, Li Chen was impossible to estimate.

Xia Qing had also seen her father in action. He was a swordsman at the Saint level. But after seeing Li Chen's move, she felt that even her own father might not be able to withstand it.

Not to mention Chu Ruoyan, she was wet.

Even though Li Chen had put away his sword a long time ago, the fear in their hearts had not dissipated.

Seeing their expressions, Li Chen was very satisfied. If I don't show you my skills, you won't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is.

And you're still going out to gain experience? Don't you know how many talented people want to gain experience from me?

I am here, so please cherish me.

After they recovered, the girls seemed to have realized something and realized that they had just been to the gates of hell.

Chu Ruoyan took the lead and asked, "Your Majesty, can you teach us that move just now? We want to learn it!"

The women around him also looked at Li Chen with expectant eyes.

Li Chen said calmly, "Okay, come to my room tonight to discuss in detail."

The other women didn't mind, and they could even go in now. They knew what Li Chen meant.

Xia Qing just said goodbye and left shyly.

She hasn't taken the first step yet, so she's quite reserved and wants to observe Li Chen more.

People like Pei Wanyu had all kinds of considerations in their mind at first, and wanted to conduct a character test on Li Chen, but after she was done, the look in her eyes when she looked at Li Chen was full of little stars.

We’ll talk about character tests later, now she just wants it.

However, for Pei Wanyu, Li Chen did save her, even if it was an accident, and she could indeed accept this situation.

Now the imperial capital is preparing for the coming of all nations, and both the streets and the city gates have begun to be decorated.

By then, there will be a lot of people coming to the imperial capital, and they will be a mixed bunch.

The Ministry of Justice also has a lot of work to do, and needs to send in more staff to ensure that the national celebration takes place without incident.

Whenever something happened, many people wanted to impeach the Minister of Justice.

What surprised Li Chen was that he originally thought that the first ones to arrive in the imperial capital should be Fairy Youlan and Fairy Yuehua, but it turned out that Mu Qingrou, the master of Ziyun Immortal Mansion, arrived first.

I have to say that the treasure that Li Chen gave to the plump elder is really useful.

After Li Chen left that day, she tried every means to persuade Mu Qingrou to come first.

Because she had a good relationship with Mu Qingrou and knew that Mu Qingrou was thin-skinned, she said that everyone in the Immortal Palace knew about this matter. As the Palace Master, if she did not properly resolve it, what would the female disciples of the Immortal Palace think? How would she establish her authority in the future?

Moreover, you have been notified of the Tiance Dynasty’s national celebration, so you must go.

After all, last time you asked Li Chen to compete with you, he didn’t refuse.

Mu Qingrou was annoyed by the elder's words, so she could only say: "Okay, I'm going to the imperial capital just to participate in the national celebration and to find the legendary sword. There is no other intention."

She had indeed been in seclusion in the mansion, and had not seen anyone. This time she came out to get some fresh air.

The female elder was afraid that she would desert the battlefield, so she followed her all the way.

She just arrived in the imperial capital today and passed the message to Li Chen. She can be said to have completed Li Chen's task, and she took Li Chen's sword with peace of mind.

Bailianmen in the imperial capital is a workshop that mainly manufactures weapons.

Sect leader Bai Zhanfei is known in the circle as a master of weapons, and he can create an average of one top-grade weapon every year.

This kind of record is enough to make colleagues bleed with envy.

Many people placed orders for weapons with him. No matter they were from the big sects of the Tiance Dynasty or the dignitaries in the imperial capital, they were all proud to obtain a weapon made by him.

It is said that the sword of the great general Guo Poyun was forged by him.

This is truly a golden signboard in the industry.

Bailianmen has chain stores all over the country with a very good reputation. They can not only forge weapons, but also repair weapons.

If you buy weapons from them, you can get a 20% discount on after-sales service.

The Bailian Sect does not focus on spiritual practice, they just have a skill to make a living.

Many large sects even place bulk orders for weapons from them, so Bailian Sect's business has always been good.

If Bailian Sect has grown so big, why doesn't Tiance Dynasty care about them? Because they pay taxes!

Moreover, they have to report a lot of things, which are under the official jurisdiction of Genius, so they are just developing normally.

Today, two beautiful women came to Bailianmen.

One is flawless, the other is charming and seductive.

Even the sect leader Bai Zhanfei received him personally.

This attracted many curious disciples to come and watch.

"I heard that the woman leading the group is Mu Qingrou, a Saint from the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion, who is known as the Flawless Sword Master."

"It is said that she killed the outer demon with one sword and became famous all over the world."

"I dream of marrying a female cultivator from the Purple Cloud Immortal Mansion. I heard that the female cultivators there are not only beautiful, but also excellent in every aspect."

"That's right. I know an old client in Liuhe Realm. He married a female cultivator from Ziyun Immortal Mansion. I'm so envious of him."

"It will take a long time to cultivate to the Six Harmonies Realm. I am not that ambitious. When I save enough money, I will return to the village and marry the daughter of our village chief."

Mu Qingrou's reputation is very great in the Tiance Dynasty, especially in sword-making sects like theirs, who are well aware of it.

Wherever she appears, she becomes a topic of discussion.

Even many people only see her glamorous and beautiful side.

"Master Bai, long time no see. I heard that you recently created a Thousand Blades Divine Weapon. Can you let me see it?"

Mu Qingrou's purpose of coming here was very simple, she just wanted to see the legendary magic weapon.

Bai Zhanfei sighed and said, "Palace Master Mu, I'm ashamed to say that these are all rumors."

"Oh? Don't you have the Thousand Blades Divine Weapon?"

"That's not the case. We really have a Thousand Blades Divine Weapon. It's not something that a mortal like me can forge. But this one was given to my sect by an unknown sword-forging god."
