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

Chapter 181 I would rather die standing than live on my knees! (Please subscribe and give me a monthly ticket)

In the sky above the outskirts of the Tianlang Sect, a brilliant picture of the Milky Way slowly unfolded.

The tremendous energy within it flows and it seems as if the Milky Way in the sky is falling into the human world, magnificent and majestic.

This was the Milky Way Array opened by True Man Chi Yuan and Master Qing Xu. The two saints simultaneously unleashed extremely powerful forces.

Thousands of officers and soldiers around were ready, waiting for the moment when the Tianlang Sect's protective formation was opened.

It is a rare opportunity to show off in front of Li Chen, and this is to capture the remnants of the previous dynasty. Obviously there is credit to be gained, and they are all so excited.

Moreover, the officers and soldiers who can come here are all very strong among the officers and soldiers. They are the elites of Shanghe City, so as to ensure that no one slips through the net.

And the independent cultivator Zhang Yang who tipped off the person was waiting nearby, ready to lead the way.

This overwhelming amount of resources is about to fall upon him.

With these resources, he will definitely be able to break through the upper limit and even gain some benefits.

The reason why Zhang Yang discovered that the Tianlang Sect was harboring the remnants of the previous dynasty was because of the strange things he encountered during his exploration of the surrounding mountains.

At that time, his team was attacked by a powerful evil cultivator.

Someone in the team went to seek help from nearby and found a team from the Tianlang Sect, where an elder and more than a dozen disciples were training.

He was seriously injured at the time and did not follow the team to eliminate the evil cultivators.

Later, when he returned to the city, Zhang Yang found that no one in his team had returned.

After asking around, he found out that the team from the Tianlang Sect had already returned to the sect.

He suspected that this group of people might be accomplices of the evil cultivators and killed his teammates.

But there was no evidence. If I, a casual cultivator, went to Zixiao Heavenly Palace to file a complaint, no one would accept it, let alone go to the government office for security. At that time, the government office could not control the cultivators from the sects.

If the people from the Tianlang Sect knew about this, they would probably take revenge on him.

This dark past has always been hidden in Zhang Yang's heart.

He is not a man of luck, and many things cannot be changed.

This is how cruel competition is in the cultivation world. There is no fairness or justice, only the law of the jungle.

Until today, when the imperial court announced the reward, and having witnessed with his own eyes how powerful Emperor Li Chen was, he simply went directly to the Chengjian government office to report the case.

Zhang Yang thought to himself: Brothers, I finally found an opportunity to avenge you!
He didn't think he would fail this time because it was a crushing victory.

Zhang Yang would definitely not be able to deal with the Tianlang Sect alone before, as the Tianlang Sect had several powerful masters in the Tianyuan Realm.

A sect of this level is like a behemoth in front of a casual cultivator like Zhang Yang.

But now, with three powerful saints present in person, the Tianlang Sect is powerless to save the situation, and there is no way to prevent it even if the founder is resurrected.

Many of the independent cultivators are like Xiao Ming before, with no fixed place to live, just going wherever they go, but they just have a goal.

Now Zhang Yang also began to realize that he was a subject of the Tiance Dynasty and that he could still solve many problems by relying on official power.

He decided that after this incident was over, he would get a job in Shanghe City so that he wouldn't have to continue living a life of uncertainty.

What motivates ordinary practitioners like Zhang Yang to want to join the army is that the Tiance Dynasty has a powerful emperor like Li Chen.

At this moment, Li Chen, riding on the holy tiger, looked at this special formation with interest, as if thinking about something.

Lin Yue'e who was standing beside him was stunned. Is this the power of a saint?

To say how much Li Chen favored her, she was sitting on the Holy Tiger, next to Li Chen.

Li Chen even explained to her: "The Tianlang Sect's formation is activated by the alternation of the sun and the moon. Now it is daytime, and this formation is simulating the night sky, accelerating the alternation of the sun and the moon, which can cleverly trigger the conditions for activation. Can you guess why Master Qingxu did this?"

Li Chen was like Lin Yue'e's master, telling her some solutions and then letting her figure them out on her own.

Lin Yue'e pondered for a moment and said, "Master Qingxu has a history with the Tianlang Sect. This formation is just a normal way to activate the Tianlang Sect's protective formation, not to destroy it directly. I guess he came here in person because he doesn't want the Tianlang Sect to be destroyed."

Hearing her say this, Li Chen nodded.

In fact, with the strength of the three of them, it would not be a problem to directly destroy the Tianlang Sect’s protective formation.

The world of cultivation is not just about fighting and killing, there are also human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Why did Master Qingxu force himself to tell the love story between him and the former leader of the Tianlang Sect on his way here? Wasn't he just paving the way for what was to happen next?

At this moment, the Tianlang Sect was in chaos.

Feeling the changes in the sect protection formation, the earth inside was shaking as if the end of the world had come.

Because no one from the Tianlang Sect went out today, and those who went out a few days ago have not returned yet, so no one knows what happened.

The leader of the Tianlang Sect is now furious. Who is so bold as to destroy the sect's formation?
With the ringing of a bell, more than a hundred people from the Tianlang Sect gathered.

The disciples and elders stood in the sect's main hall.

The voice of the Tianlang Sect's leader echoed in the sect's main hall, with unquestionable majesty: "Today, someone dared to destroy our Tianlang Sect's protective formation. This is a provocation to our Tianlang Sect! I ask you to show your strongest attitude and teach those ignorant people a lesson!"

The disciples and elders were all indignant, rubbing their hands in preparation for a fight, with fierce gleams in their eyes.

They all expressed that they would make those who dared to provoke the Tianlang Sect pay the price and let them know how powerful the Tianlang Sect is.

The reason why the people of Tianlang Sect are so arrogant is because they feel that with the relationship between the former sect master and Master Qingxu, no one dares to provoke Tianlang Sect easily.

Yuxu Immortal Mansion is one of the two largest sects in the vicinity, and Master Qingxu is even a saint.

The disciples of Tianlang Sect were training outside, but they didn't take anyone other than the disciples of Yuxu Immortal Mansion seriously.

Plus, the Tianlang Sect has a powerful Harmonious Meridian Formation that is unrivaled!

They had no idea who was dismantling their sect's protective formation.

Following the order from the sect leader, more than a hundred people from the Tianlang Sect came to the mountain gate in a mighty procession.

They were full of energy and their pulses were surging.

This is the Tianlang Sect's collective harmonic meridian formation, which looks like a ferocious ancient giant wolf, tearing all enemies into pieces!
However, when they saw the scene before them, everyone was stunned.

The sect protection formation had actually been opened, and the person standing outside the formation was none other than Master Qingxu, whom they thought would be on their side!

Master Qingxu had a smile on his face and a deep gaze, as if everything was under his control, or within the expectations of his fellow Taoists.

Standing beside him were two other powerful saints and a majestic holy tiger.

There were thousands of officers and soldiers surrounding the area, each of them was on high alert and exuding a powerful aura.

The harmonious pulse formation unleashed by thousands of officers and soldiers was like soldiers from heaven descending, mighty and powerful!

At this moment, the people of Tianlang Sect felt unprecedented shock.

Especially the leader of the Tianlang Sect, he felt like he was choking.

Because at this time, if he encountered a strong enemy, he would definitely announce the name of Master Qingxu to scare away others.

But the problem is, Master Qingxu is right in front of us, and we can’t use Master Qingxu’s name to scare him.

What's more, the one on the Holy Tiger looked even more powerful than Master Qingxu, which made the leader of the Tianlang Sect feel fear at first sight.

The phantom of the ancient giant wolf displayed by their Harmonic Pulse Formation was as weak as a puppy in front of Li Chen.

The face of the Tianlang Sect's leader turned ashen, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Master Qingxu, what do you mean by this? Why are you helping outsiders to dismantle the Tianlang Sect's protective formation?"

Master Qingxu smiled slightly and said, "Do you know how big a mistake you made today? You are harboring the remnants of the previous dynasty, which is an enemy of the entire Tiance Dynasty. As a subject of the Tiance Dynasty, I naturally cannot sit idly by."

If these words had not come from Master Qingxu, the leader of the Tianlang Sect would definitely think he was dreaming.

You always think of yourself as an immortal, so why do you start to act like a subject?
And where are the remnants of the previous dynasty? How come I don’t know them?

Seeing the confused look on the face of the Tianlang Sect leader, Master Qingxu was afraid that he would say something disrespectful, so he continued, "This is the emperor of our Tiance Dynasty. If you have any grievances, you can tell him, and His Majesty will definitely seek justice for you."

Master Qingxu has been hinting here, and it can be said that he has been acting from beginning to end.

He said so many words just to tell the leader of the Tianlang Sect that this saint who is stronger than me is the emperor of the current dynasty. He wants to track down the remnants of the previous dynasty. If you don't want to be punished, express your position quickly, that is, speak out your "grievances".

Hearing this, the leader of the Tianlang Sect suddenly realized that he really didn't know who the former dynasty's evil was. Because the sect was full of elders and disciples who practiced orthodox techniques.

But he knew that if he didn't admit his mistake at this time, he would probably be in trouble.

Pfft!
The kneeling of the Tianlang Sect leader was clean and decisive.

He kowtowed repeatedly, his voice trembling a little: "Your Majesty, I really didn't know that there were remnants of the previous dynasty hiding in the sect, but I am willing to cooperate with your majesty's investigation to prove my innocence. I have always been a loyal subject of the Tiance Dynasty and will definitely do my part to maintain the stability of the dynasty."

As soon as he finished speaking, an elder suddenly stepped forward, his face full of anger, pointing at the leader of the Tianlang Sect and shouting: "Master, how can you kneel to the enemy so easily? Do you still remember the ancestral motto of the founder of the Tianlang Sect? It is better to die standing than to live on your knees! When did our Tianlang Sect become so cowardly?"

As soon as the elder finished speaking, he flashed and attacked Li Chen. It was obvious that he wanted to offend Li Chen directly and let the Tianlang Sect bear the emperor's wrath.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the Tianlang Sect was furious. He did not expect that the elder would attack at this moment, and he did not expect that the other party would use the method of attacking Li Chen to drag him into the water.

However, this is also an opportunity.

"You villain, how dare you attack His Majesty here!" The leader of the Tianlang Sect shouted angrily, and his figure flashed and he started fighting with the elder.

For a moment, there was chaos in the Tianlang Sect. The fight between the two powerful men caused a huge energy fluctuation, causing the surrounding buildings to tremble.

The other disciples and elders were divided into two factions, one supporting the sect leader and the other supporting the elder. The two sides fought back and forth, and the fight was difficult to resolve.

The harmonious pulse formations of both sides were like two huge waves tearing each other apart.

The officers and soldiers originally thought that there would be a bloodbath in the Tianlang Sect, but they didn't expect that a fight would break out within the Tianlang Sect. They looked at each other, and for a moment they were at a loss.

That expression seemed to be saying: If you guys fight among yourselves, how can we take credit for it?
We have come all this way, we can't let it be in vain.

There are three saints in the team. This is a rare favorable situation that only comes once in a thousand years. Is it so difficult to pick up some kills?
Seeing this, Li Chen raised a playful smile.

He didn't expect that the leader of the Tianlang Sect would be so sensible and react so quickly.

To be able to become the sect leader, he must be smart.

The leader of the Tianlang Sect is fearless and daring, which is a must. He can die for the glory of the sect.

But that doesn't mean he is willing to die.

Master Qingxu has been hinting that the emperor is here to capture the remnants of the previous dynasty and it has nothing to do with him.

There was no need for him to risk his life with the emperor for the remnants of the previous dynasty.

If Li Chen simply wanted to destroy the Tianlang Sect, the Sect Master would definitely swear to protect the sect to the death.

"It seems that the Tianlang Sect is also very aware." Li Chen said softly, his eyes always fixed on the battle in the field, as if he was watching a play.

Lin Yue'e looked at the scene in surprise. She didn't expect things to turn out like this.

However, she quickly understood Li Chen's intention, which was to give the Tianlang Sect a chance to solve the problem themselves.

It can also be said that Li Chen gave Master Qingxu a favor. After all, his Taoist partner was also the former leader of the Tianlang Sect.

As the battle continued, casualties within the Tianlang Sect continued to increase.

Although the elder was quite powerful, he was ultimately outnumbered and was eventually subdued by the Tianlang Sect's leader and several other elders.

After the battle, the leader of the Tianlang Sect stood in the middle of the field covered in blood, but there was a smug smile on his face.

He looked at Li Chen, with a hint of gratitude in his voice: "Your Majesty, I have captured this traitor. He is very likely an accomplice of the remnants of the previous dynasty. Your Majesty, please tell me what to do next?"

Li Chen nodded slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "You have done a good job, so I will no longer hold you responsible for harboring the remnants of the previous dynasty, but you still need to fully cooperate with the investigation and ensure that there is no place for the remnants of the previous dynasty to hide in the Tianlang Sect."

Hearing Li Chen's words, the leader of the Tianlang Sect heaved a sigh of relief. He quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity. I will do my best to contribute to the stability of the Tiance Dynasty."

As he said this, he deliberately showed off his acting skills, with loyalty written all over his face!

Next it was Lin Yue'e's turn to appear. She led the soldiers to push back the losing group, and asked the leader of the Tianlang Sect and others to go back and cooperate with the investigation.

As this incident began, all the major sects in the areas surrounding Shanghe City were investigating the remnants of the previous dynasty, and the cultivation families within Shanghe City were also being gradually investigated.

The late emperor had been planning here for a long time, and even spent a lot of manpower and material resources to fight wits and courage with the remnants of the previous dynasty.

But in the end, it would be better for Li Chen to come here for a walk, so that the cultivation families that the late emperor felt were not obeying his orders and the sects that disobeyed his orders would all start to take the initiative to help with the investigation.

For a time, there was a trend in the western part of the Tian Ce Dynasty to capture the remnants of the previous dynasty.

In the eyes of those powerful practitioners, the remnants of the previous dynasty are much easier to catch than monsters. They are just walking resources!
The imperial capital of the Tiance Dynasty, the Ministry of Justice.

After this period of investigation, Pang Jin began to collect evidence that the Wang family was harboring remnants of the previous dynasty.

But the problem is that there is always a lack of more direct evidence.

Because it was a secret investigation, the progress of the entire Criminal Department's investigation was extremely slow.

When Xiao Ming pushed open the door and came to his office, Pang Jin knew that this kid must have discovered something.

That’s right, Xiao Ming, a guy with incredible luck, actually found some clues about the Wang family.

If nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Ming also discovered it by accident.

These days he has been not doing his job properly and has been working as a bootlicker at the Xinhuo Combat Academy.

The teacher named Xia Qing at Xinhuo Combat Academy was one of the few women he had seen who could be compared with Chu Ruoyan in terms of beauty.

But the problem was that Xia Qing had a bad first impression of Xiao Ming and had no intention of getting to know him.

So Xiao Ming's bootlicking habit came back and he asked about Xia Qing at the Xinhuo Combat Academy.

At this time, he passed by and encountered a fight between disciples of the Battle Academy.

As an official, he would definitely have to go up and mediate the issue.

Among them was a disciple from the Combat Academy who claimed to be from the Wang family. He shouted at the other party to wait for a beating. The other party was not afraid at all and said that he was from the Zhendong General’s Mansion and told him to come if he had the guts.

When the Wang family was mentioned, Xiao Ming remembered that he seemed to need to investigate the Wang family.

After the mediation was over, he secretly followed this disciple of the Wang family.

The Wang family disciples held a grudge and came to a mysterious place.

It looks like a money shop, but in fact it is a place for illegal boxing, where the powerful and wealthy gamble for fun.

The Wang family disciples should have come here to seek help for revenge, because those who fight underground boxing are generally very cruel.

But Xiao Ming saw that there were actually several remnants of the previous dynasty who were on the wanted list of the Ministry of Justice.

In his opinion, perhaps this place was the place where the remnants of the previous dynasty were hiding.

In order not to alert the enemy, Xiao Ming came back secretly.

In the final analysis, Xiao Ming had been water skiing for many days and just accidentally followed a member of the Wang family and found the remnants of the previous dynasty.

It’s faster than the investigation progress of the entire Ministry of Justice.

The next step is to find out the ownership of the bank, and then follow the clues to find the evidence.

"You did a great job. I wish the other people in the Criminal Department were half as hard-working as you are."

Pang Jin praised Xiao Ming generously. Xiao Ming was the one with the fastest progress in investigation among his subordinates.

Xiao Ming was also a little embarrassed. He didn't make any effort, so who knew he could find it.

As for how the prince died, perhaps we can find out by simply destroying the Wang family.

The charge of harboring the remnants of the previous dynasty was enough to bring the Wang family to justice.

Next, we just need to wait for Li Chen to return from Shanghe City before we can start taking action.

By then, the imperial capital will truly be a river of blood!
At the same time, Li Chen had arrived near the Yunluo Mountains to attend the alliance meeting of Zixiao Palace.

On the surface, the meeting seemed normal, a meeting for alliance members to keep in touch with each other.

But the undercurrent is surging and everyone has their own agenda!
