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

Chapter 178: Immortal Ancient Spirit Lake! The Two Saints Fight the Saint Emperor! (Please subscribe and vote)
There are already crowds of people around Xianguling Lake.

Tens of thousands of practitioners have turned this originally deserted place into a bustling place.

Their eyes were all focused on Xianguling Lake, waiting for the opportunity to come.

Among them, the Chensha Taoist Sect and the Yuxu Immortal Mansion are particularly prominent.

The team of several thousand people was huge, and the disciples were dressed neatly and looked very powerful.

The leader of Chensha Taoist Sect, Zhenren Chiyuan, was dressed in a red robe, with endless majesty and domineeringness revealed between his brows.

His mount is a Flame Kite with Vermillion Bird bloodline.

The flame kite was bathed in raging flames, its wings were as brilliant as red clouds, and every flap of its wings released a terrifying heat wave.

The Master Qingxu of the Yuxu Immortal Palace was dressed in a green robe, with an immortal look and temperament, like an immortal who walked out of a painting.

He held a whisk in his hand, always with a smile on his face, and faced True Man Chi Yuan from a distance.

The mount under Master Qingxu's crotch is an ice crystal white deer. The deer is crystal clear all over, as if it was carved out of ten thousand years of ice. Every step it takes is accompanied by the crisp sound of ice cracking.

"Brother Chi Yuan, what do you think about the distribution of the spiritual liquid from the ancient fairy lake?" Master Qingxu asked softly. Although his voice was soft, it was clearly heard by Master Chi Yuan.

True Man Chi Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Qingxu, you and I both know that this opportunity is rare, so we should rely on our own abilities."

In the past, these two guys would definitely say things like 'You take 3, I take 6' or 'You take 4, I take 5'. Anyway, just leave 1% for others and split the rest between the two of us.

As saints, leaders of the two major sects near Shanghe City, and core members of Zixiao Heavenly Palace, their status in the cultivation world is quite high.

The surrounding sects and forces are all built around these two sects, or need the protection of these two sects.

How could they dare to challenge True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu?

To put it bluntly, if you want to survive in this area, you have to look at the faces of these two people.

It's not that they are crazy, but they are indeed qualified to say such things.

But things are different now. Even though True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qingxu are out of touch with the news, they have heard that Emperor Li Chen of the Tiance Dynasty has personally visited Shanghe City.

Li Chen's incognito visit did not mean to be a private visit.

Being in the same saint realm, True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu had to act with caution.

So before Li Chen came, neither of them said anything arrogant.

So as to avoid being embarrassed later.

Whether Li Chen is as strong as the legend says, we will know after fighting him!
As a saint, he would not think that he is worse than others if he has never fought with others.

So it’s better to say harsh words after the fight!

The sect members present at the scene were also very nervous, because this was a clash between the sect and imperial power.

The future structure of Shanghe City and its surrounding areas will depend on the allocation of Xianguling Lake this time.

Just as True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu were talking, the Shanghe City army had already appeared in everyone's sight in a mighty manner.

The leader was none other than the Saint-level emperor of the Tiance Dynasty, Li Chen.

Li Chen's appearance instantly caused strange phenomena in heaven and earth.

Above the nine heavens, a purple dragon was hovering, and the dragon’s roar was deafening!
The aura of the Great Dao is even more evident around Li Chen! The nine-wheeled divine ring shines brightly!
Even from a distance, all the people in the sect could feel the overwhelming aura of supremacy coming from the heaven and earth!

Under his crotch was an extremely powerful holy tiger, whose body was huge, like a walking mountain, exuding a heart-pounding aura.

Every step the holy tiger took seemed to shake the heaven and earth, bringing up gusts of wind that blew the surrounding grass and trees all over the place.

After seeing the other monster beast mounts, the Holy Tiger burst into golden light all over its body, and its momentum was so overwhelming that it seemed as if it could shatter the void!

Behind Li Chen, tens of thousands of troops followed closely behind. Although their momentum was not as great as Li Chen's, it was also quite spectacular.

The army's steps were in unison, like a torrent of steel, unstoppable.

In the past, the army of Shanghe City also felt tremendous pressure in this place with many cultivators, especially when facing the two saints on the opposite side, they were suppressed and could not even raise their heads.

In order to obtain resources and for the dignity of the Shanghe City defenders, they had to bite the bullet.

Every time he came here, Zhang Zhishan felt suffocated when he raised his hand, because he was surrounded by high-ranking sects.

But this time it was different, it was someone else who felt suffocated.

Zhang Zhishan was wearing armor, riding a tall horse and following Li Chen's holy tiger, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He glanced at the surrounding sect practitioners, as if to say: You used to call me a lackey of the imperial court and looked down on me, but now my master is here, are you continuing to bark?
What happened to the court's lackeys? Now you know who is worse than the lackeys!
Zhang Zhishan had heard about the strength of Emperor Li Chen, but he did not expect Li Chen to be so exaggeratedly strong.

Anyway, he doesn't have much pressure today, the pressure is all on the other side.

This is the sense of honor that a saintly emperor can give to his subjects!
Zhang Zhishan glanced at the city guards behind him. These guys looked like they were full of energy, with their heads held high.

It seems like it is an honor to fight alongside Li Chen!

It was because this emperor was so powerful that people could not help but feel awe.

Originally, the Xianguling Lake was surrounded by a lot of people. After Li Chen appeared, those high-ranking sect monks took the initiative to make way for him and kept retreating.

Who dares to offend this emperor who is at the saint level?

Li Chen, who burst out with momentum, is the Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth!

Soon, the army of the Tiance Dynasty occupied a large area.

For a moment, the military flags were flying and the momentum was magnificent!

This kind of neat queue is a feeling that the monks in the sect cannot have!
The holy tiger arrived beside the Xianguling Lake and let out a thunderous roar that shook the sky!

This made Master Chiyuan's mount, the Flame Kite, and Master Qingxu's mount, the Ice Crystal White Deer, both a little flustered.

Holy grade mount, so terrifying!
With the arrival of Li Chen, a three-way confrontation seemed to have formed.

Of course, this is the case now.

Before the great opportunity of Xianguling Lake appeared, there were already nearly 100,000 people surrounding it.

These 100,000 people are all monks from the nearby area.

There are not only monks from the sect, but also some independent cultivators, and monks from aristocratic families in Shanghe City.

They were all sizing up the situation around them.

Normally, only monks from large sects can occupy resources, so their positions are relatively forward.

The reason why Chensha Dao Sect and Yuxu Xianfu have been able to occupy 90% of the market is because they have saints in charge and the number of people in the sect is large.

Thousands of elite practitioners, this scale would be a huge presence anywhere.

This does not include the outer disciples of the two major sects and ordinary inner disciples. Those who come are all very powerful people, and the strong ones who stay behind in the sect must also be excluded.

It can be said that this is the foundation of a powerful force!
When the spiritual spring of Xiangu Linghu gushes out, the disciples of the two major sects will go first to receive the resources.

When they have received almost all the money, they will keep 10%.

This achievement was shared by other forces.

At that time, whether it is the sect, the independent cultivators, or the city guards of Shanghe City, they all need to snatch it.

Many people may be curious, since there are so many guards in Shanghe City, why don’t they take more?

There is no way, because the sect always claims to be superior to the secular world, with the two behemoths of Chensha Taoist Sect and Yuxu Immortal Mansion.

The city guards can indeed crush other sects, but if that happens, the two saints from Chensha Taoist Sect and Yuxu Immortal Palace will take action.

Moreover, the city guards have to face tens of thousands of monks from various sects.

The sect monks here were obviously targeting the city guards, so they didn't get much.

As for those independent cultivators, it is a question whether they can snatch them.

There are no rules here, and sometimes fights break out.

But if you can grab it, you will earn money, and it all depends on your ability.

The two sons of great fortune around Shanghe City also arrived at the scene.

Tang Shan stood in the team of Chensha Dao Zong, and his strength allowed him to stand at the forefront.

Originally there were seven members of the Seven Devils of Chensha, but for some reason, only four of them were present today.

Tang Shan and Dai Xiaoyao also felt very strange. Why did Zhu Zhuying and the other three never come back after they went down the mountain? What happened?
But today a great opportunity has come, so they thought that they would look for the whereabouts of the women after completing this important task.

How could such a grown person be lost?

As long as we go to Shanghe City, there will always be some clues.

Tang Shan has always been very arrogant and treats his peers like ants.

His talent is the source of his arrogance.

Last time he ate a small turtle in Jiang Mansion in Shanghe City, he didn't take it seriously. He just didn't want to reveal his identity, so he didn't do it.

Otherwise, that kid would definitely know what it means to offend him. Tang Shan is very strong on the surface, but he is even stronger in secret.

He knows all kinds of hidden weapons, poisons, and traps, and this is his powerful trump card.

He didn't think he would lose to any of his peers, but the moment he saw Li Chen, Tang Shan began to feel dazed.

The pride in his heart seemed to begin to waver. He felt that this emperor was about the same age as him, so how could he be so powerful?

On second thought, the emperor certainly doesn’t count as a peer, because he is the emperor.

Li Chen was excluded as a 'peer' by Tang Shan, but Tang Shan still considers himself invincible among his peers.

Dai Xiaoyao, who was next to him, had been looking for his fiancée Zhu Zhuying. He always had a bad feeling, just like it was a little cold today, but his head was warm.

Another son of destiny, Lin Mo, also came to the vicinity of Xianguling Lake.

But this time he appeared with the camp of the Shanghe City cultivation family.

For the time being, he is still a servant of the Jiang family, and he needs to protect Jiang Rong's safety.

If it were the old him, he would definitely go up and snatch it.

Now, as a lackey prepared by the court, I can just use my connections to get some resources when the time comes. There is no need to go through so much trouble.

Although he was somewhat repulsed by Li Chen in his heart, he still recognized Li Chen's strength.

After all, he is a member of the official camp of the Tiance Dynasty. Li Chen's deterrent power scares others. He thinks it's okay as it is nice to take shelter under a big tree.

To show how strong Li Chen is, you can see it from the infatuated looks of the women around him.

Not only Jiang Rong, Zhu Zhuying and others, but also the girls from the nearby aristocratic families and the female disciples of the sects were all overwhelmed with admiration when they saw Li Chen's natural beauty.

Lin Mo has now come to terms with it, and he will never compare Li Chen with himself.

Wouldn’t it be much easier if you think about it this way?

Lin Mo now also knows a new way of comparing.

He glanced at the people from the sect around him and thought to himself: I don’t think you can compare to Li Chen. The people from the sect are just so-so.

This kind of competition seemed to be a solace to him no matter who won or lost.

Around the Xianguling Lake, with the arrival of Li Chen, True Man Chiyuan and Master Qingxu were also facing a formidable enemy.

For the first time, two people who didn't have a good relationship felt a sense of common hatred for a common enemy.

The three people's gazes intertwined in the center of the lake, and a terrifying force spread out.

To be honest, Li Chen was not used to people talking to him while standing. It might be because he had been emperor for a while that he felt this way.

True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu wanted to speak, but they didn't know how to address Li Chen.

Calling Li Chen's name directly was indeed a provocation.

If they call him His Majesty, wouldn't it be acknowledging that Li Chen's status is above theirs?

The atmosphere at the scene began to become tense.

After Li Chen jumped off the holy tiger, True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qingxu also got off their mounts tacitly.

The three of them stood in the void and walked step by step towards the center of Xianguling Lake.

This meeting of the century made countless people around very excited, and they even kept swallowing their saliva.

They really want to know what these three will talk about and what they will do next.

They were discussing the allocation of Xianguling Lake or greeting each other.

These three are all at the Saint level. Would a Saint speak like an ordinary person?

Everyone is curious about everything.

But it was so far away that no one around could hear it.

All I could see was the three of them slowly approaching.

Countless people are fantasizing that one day they will be as impressive as these three people.

Or if you replace one of them and talk to the other two, then it will be well-known forever.

After a while, Li Chen and the other two stopped.

True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu were both wondering whether, since they were older, they should speak first and say something polite like "I've heard a lot about you".

But Li Chen spoke first: "I grant you two a chance to challenge me, just do it, I will not hold you responsible!"

When these words were spoken, True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu were both stunned.

Good man, you are really not polite at all!

We are both at the Saint level, so aren’t you afraid that we two will join forces to fight you?
Of course Li Chen was not afraid. The purpose of his saying this was to give face to True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qingxu.

I want you two to kneel down directly, but you may not be able to do it because there are so many people around and you are all acquaintances.

As long as you two start to fight, I will beat you up and let everyone know the result. It is only natural that you two kneel down.

If you don’t know how to talk, just fight and you’ll know!

I care so much about you, why don’t you thank me?
Li Chen is a cautious person. He has his reasons for being so arrogant.

True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu looked at each other, and seemed too embarrassed to take action.

Because Li Chen wanted them to win together, and they felt that it would not be glorious to win like this.

After all, he is a well-known and powerful man, so he should have some shame.

But the next second, an extraordinary aura burst out from Li Chen, shocking them so much that their pupils suddenly began to shrink.

At this time, they seemed to realize that Li Chen was not joking.

The strength that Li Chen unleashed is already above both of them!
The people around only saw that a Saint Emperor and two Saint Realm powerful masters were chatting about something, and the Saint Emperor suddenly burst out with astonishing momentum.

The terrifying power swept everything around in an instant.

The people standing in the front were hit hard by the energy impact, and those with weaker strength and who liked to stand in the front began to vomit blood.

The elders from all the major sects were shouting at their disciples to evacuate quickly.

Although we don’t know what’s going on inside, it’s right to evacuate.

The prefect Zhang Zhishan also commanded the troops to retreat slowly.

He was also very surprised in his heart. He could feel the peerless powerful aura from such a distance. It seemed that His Majesty really did not use his full strength last time at the Chamber of Commerce.

Zhang Zhishan underestimated Li Chen. In a place like the Chamber of Commerce, Li Chen could just use a little of his strength or keep suppressing others, for fear of shocking everyone present to death.

Where is this?

Li Chen continued to release his energy because the two people in front of him could withstand the pressure.

True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qingxu were not hesitating at this moment. His Majesty had already said that he would not pursue the matter this time, so they had to give it a try to see the strength of this legendary strong man!

I saw Master Chi Yuan's body tremble, and flames surged around his body like a volcanic eruption, and a hot breath instantly spread.

He formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Suddenly, a red cloud condensed in the sky. Then, a huge flaming bird flapped its wings and flew out from the cloud. It swooped down towards Li Chen with the power to destroy the world.

The flaming bird was covered in raging flames, and every feather seemed to be able to ignite the void. Its eyes were like two burning fireballs, revealing endless destruction.

Wherever the divine bird passed, the air was ignited, leaving behind charred cracks.

At the same time, Master Qingxu was not willing to be outdone.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, a green light shone brightly on his body, and an extremely cold breath emanated from his body, instantly lowering the temperature around him to freezing point.

Then, a gigantic ten-thousand-year-old ice turtle slowly emerged from the void. Its body was crystal clear and emitted a faint cold light, like a divine beast that had walked out of the eternal ice.

The ice turtle is huge, with thick ice armor covering its back, and each piece of ice armor seems to be able to withstand any attack in the world.

It opened its huge mouth and spit out a ball of icy air, which instantly turned into an icicle and pierced straight towards Li Chen.

Facing the attacks from two powerful saints, Li Chen's expression remained unchanged.

He put his fingers together to form a sword, and golden energy gathered at his fingertips, as if real sword energy was swirling around him.

In an instant, a dazzling sword light floated between heaven and earth. The sword light was like a surging river, carrying a tremendous momentum, slashing towards the Flame Bird and the Ten Thousand Year Ice Turtle!
Wherever the sword passed, the void was torn apart, leaving behind a series of pitch-black cracks!
Under the dazzling sword light, even the sun in the sky dimmed a lot, as if even the sun began to avoid its edge!
At this moment, everyone held their breath, staring intently at the point where the sword light collided with the Flame Bird and the Ten Thousand Year Ice Turtle, looking forward to that shocking moment.

boom! boom!
Following two loud noises, a huge wave of golden sword energy that stretched for thousands of meters cut through the Flame Bird and the Ten Thousand Year Ice Turtle without any hindrance. The golden energy rushed straight into the sky, forming a brilliant column of light!

The golden sword light not only slashed at the attacks of the two powerful men, but also slashed at the two of them.

Under the pressure of the sword light, True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qingxu felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. They knew that if they could not take this attack, their lives would be in danger.

But how to answer this?
Just as they were about to use their own magical weapons and fight to the death, the golden sword light suddenly disappeared.

Before them stood a figure who looked otherworldly.

The figure was looking directly at the two of them, and his expression seemed to be saying: Are you going to kneel or not?
At this time, they finally understood Li Chen’s good intentions!
