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

Chapter 214 You woke me up early in the morning, just for this? (Please subscribe, please vote)

Mu Qingrou is a sword master in the Saint Realm, and is considered a very powerful existence in the Saint Realm.

With her paving the way, those who wanted to prevent Pei Wanyu from returning to China at the border between the two countries died tragically.

It was only after Pei Wanyu returned that she understood what had happened.

Pei Wanyu's father was also a powerful cultivator. Before he became emperor, he traveled all over the world and fought his way out of various secret realms.

After inheriting the throne, he led his troops to fight on the battlefield and quelled the dangers around him.

Because he does everything himself, he is prone to injuries. They may not be noticeable when he is young, but they will start to backfire when he gets older.

Originally, if his father just stayed in the palace to recuperate, he could live for more than ten years, or even decades, which was enough time for Pei Wanyu to grow up.

Thanks to his father's prestige, the Tianwu Dynasty was relatively stable.

But Pei Wanyu's father was also a man who couldn't bear to be lonely. It happened that the eastern waters were attacked by sea tribes, who had not appeared in this area for hundreds of years. Pei Wanyu's father chose to lead the army himself.

As a result, he was attacked by a powerful sea creature and was seriously injured and passed out.

It is said that this powerful sea creature has the strength of a saint.

He already had many old illnesses, and with this serious injury, he was completely devastated.

When he returned to the palace, the empress dowager and the ministers said that his life was safe, but those ambitious princes did not believe it. They felt that this was an opportunity. After all, the emperor had lost many troops on the eastern battlefield and he himself was seriously injured and might have died.

The princes were unwilling to be ruled by a young girl like Pei Wanyu, and they all rose up in rebellion.

When Pei Wanyu returned to the palace, she found that her father had passed away due to illness.

Being hit by a Saint, he is literally hanging on for dear life.

Pei Wanyu inherited the throne with the support of her mother and ministers.

But the princes refused to admit it, and the situation in the Tianwu Dynasty escalated again.

Even if the new empress Pei Wanyu has the help of a strong person of Mu Qingrou's level and many masters of Ziyun Immortal Palace, the power of the army cannot be shaken by a saint.

The injuries that Shi Yingying and the two female elders suffered were caused when they were trying to break out of the encirclement and seek help from the Tiance Dynasty.

The Tianwu Dynasty and the Tiance Dynasty were originally neighboring countries and had a good relationship.

Pei Wanyu is Li Chen's woman, so naturally she came to ask Li Chen for help.

The three women begged Li Chen to send troops to rescue them quickly, otherwise the rebels would sooner or later reach the capital of the Tianwu Dynasty, and Pei Wanyu would be in danger.

In fact, what Li Chen was waiting for was this opportunity. After all, the plane was to be unified, so it would definitely expand in all directions.

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements."

Some time ago, in order to defend against the sea tribe, the army in the central part of the Tiance Dynasty had already headed to the east, and the war in the north had been fought, so there were enough soldiers and generals available.

In fact, there has been an army at the border waiting for Li Chen's dispatch. As long as Li Chen gives the order, they will march towards the Tianwu Dynasty in a mighty manner.

After hearing Li Chen's reply, Shi Yingying finally felt relieved and prepared to go back to help overnight.

In her opinion, leaving Pei Wanyu and Mu Qingrou in the capital of the Tianwu Dynasty was a very dangerous thing.

Li Chen smiled and put his arm around her waist, saying, "You know the power of the army, we don't need to worry about it. You are injured, let's take a good rest for a few days, and then I will accompany you."

Li Chen didn't believe that there was a saint of Tuoba Zhen's level in the Tianwu Dynasty.

The Tianwu Dynasty was just a medium-sized country with average combat effectiveness.

What's more, there are different forces competing with each other, and no one company dominates the market.

The army of the Tiance Dynasty is so powerful, Li Chen had already made arrangements. If it weren’t for Pei Wanyu, Li Chen would have been too lazy to go to this small copy.

As Li Chen's woman, Shi Yingying naturally knew what it meant to take a few days off.

The other two female elders also began to understand the relationship between the two and planned to leave.

Li Chen used the excuse of being tired from the journey and invited them to have a meal in the palace before leaving.

They thought that the master of their mansion was Li Chen's concubine, and Shi Yingying seemed to be the same, so they didn't think there was any danger here, so they agreed.

As one of Li Chen's professional wingmen, Shi Yingying had received benefits from Li Chen and naturally knew what Li Chen meant.

When the two elders were not paying attention, Shi Yingying whispered in Li Chen's ear: "Your Majesty, they are the two most popular female cultivators in our Ziyun Immortal Mansion besides the Mansion Master."

"Oh? What about you?" Li Chen teased.

Hearing this, Shi Yingying smiled softly and replied, "Of course, she is still a little worse than me!"

Women are just as competitive as men in this regard.

According to Shi Yingying's introduction, the woman with a bulging chest and deep cleavage at the neckline was named Xu Qingning.

She has many suitors in the cultivation world in the central part of the Tiance Dynasty. Among them, Fengtian Taoist, who is known as the one with the greatest hope of breaking through to the Saint Realm in the Jiuyuan Holy Land at this stage, is her suitor.

Taoist Fengtian had an agreement with her that as long as Taoist Fengtian reached the saint level, she would marry him and become his Taoist partner.

Taoist Fengtian has been pursuing Xu Qingning for more than ten years, and he has stood out from the many dogs who are trying to please him, but he is just one step away.

Seeing how powerful Taoist Fengtian is, other suitors have given up the idea.

Who dares to offend a future Saint-level power?

The other one was named Wen Ting. She was dressed very tightly, even covering her neck, but it still couldn't hide her plump and attractive figure.

The more this happens, the more curious people become about what's going on inside her.

When talking about this person, Shi Yingying kept grinning. She said that although Wen Ting was so conservative, she was actually very reserved. She once teased the Palace Master Mu Qingrou, saying, "If you don't want to be a royal consort, then give it to me."

It was indeed a joke at the time, but she felt that Wen Ting was indeed interested in Li Chen.

As a woman, Shi Yingying knew very well that if she didn't like Li Chen, she would never say such words, even if it was a joke.

Wen Ting is more popular in Jiuyuan Holy Land than Xu Qingning.

Wen Ting is recognized as one of the ten most beautiful women in Jiuyuan Holy Land.

As long as Wen Ting gives the order, there are many strong people willing to work for her.

Li Chen was a little curious, who were the ten most beautiful women in the Jiuyuan Holy Land back then?
Shi Yingying said, "You basically know them all."

Li Chen understood that they were Fairy Youlan and Fairy Yuehua.

Since she knew that Li Chen was interested in the two of them, Shi Yingying kept pouring wine for them during dinner.

The four of them were chatting very happily. Xu Qingning and Wen Ting's faces began to turn red and their eyes became blurry.

Li Chen said that there was a cat in his room that could do somersaults. Xu Qingning and Wen Ting were curious for a moment and followed Li Chen to his bedroom.

As a result, I couldn’t go out at night.

Xu Qingning was still relatively reserved, but Li Chen was very proactive. Even when Wen Ting was pretending to be asleep, Li Chen did not let her go.

With Shi Yingying's instigation, the two women forgot their vows and did not remember which men had pursued them. Now all they have in their eyes is Li Chen.

If the strong men in Jiuyuan Holy Land saw this, their hearts would probably be broken to the point of bleeding.

Li Chen did not lie. The next day, he asked the northern sacred beast, the famous Snow Leopard God, to perform somersaults in public!

The Snow Leopard God had never been insulted like this in his life!
I am a sacred beast, and I am pretending to be a cat to pick up girls for you?

You woke me up so early in the morning, just for this?
If Shenghu knew about this, he would definitely say: Man, this is just the beginning, this is my daily job.

Wen Ting in Li Chen's arms asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, why can't this cat meow?"

The snow leopard was so arrogant that he wanted to beat her to death. I've already done a somersault, and you still think it's not enough?
But when he saw Li Chen's eyes, the dignified Snow Leopard God actually began to imitate the cat's meow to please these women, and even imitated the cat to sort out his offense.

It seems that it is really afraid of being punished by Li Chen.

At this time, Fairy Youlan, who was looking for a cat, came over.

The moment she met Wen Ting, Wen Ting instinctively ran out of Li Chen's arms.

But the next second, Wen Ting felt something was not right. Even if someone is pursuing me, I am single. I am willing to serve the emperor, but don’t you, Fairy Youlan, have a Taoist partner?

This is the embarrassment of meeting acquaintances. Every time someone from Jiuyuan Holy Land comes in, Fairy Youlan has to face strange looks. She is almost used to it!
Fairy Youlan didn't explain anything, she just asked them if they still wanted the cat, and if not, she would take it away. He was about to leave, but Li Chen knew that Fairy Youlan was just pretending to be calm, but in fact she was very panicked inside, she was a very reserved woman.

As long as there were acquaintances around, she would become very nervous, so nervous that even Li Chen found it exciting.

So Fairy Youlan was naturally pulled into Li Chen's room, and Wen Ting naturally could not escape either, not to mention Shi Yingying and Xu Qingning who were still resting inside.

The Snow Leopard God outside the door was a little dumbfounded. Why did they all leave? What should I do? Should I continue to do somersaults here, or learn to meow like a cat to entertain you?
During the days that Li Chen was resting, the Western Expedition Army had already assembled, and quite a few troops had come down from the northern front.

In order to grab the credit, Helan Xuan, with Li Chen's permission, brought an army to help.

Huyan Lan also wanted to come, but he was now the administrator of the north. In order to prevent Huyan Yu from rebelling, he was still trying to capture Huyan Yu and patrol the tribes to increase his prestige, so he couldn't come.

This point was affirmed by Li Chen, because Hu Yanlan's job was not to lead troops to fight, he only needed to help Li Chen manage the north.

I have given you the title of King of the North, why are you still running around?

In Li Chen's opinion, that is an incompetent dog.

As for the rule of the north, Li Chen also decentralized power according to the management methods of the major cities of the Tiance Dynasty.

The Khan Huyanlan is equivalent to the city lord. He has prestige in the local area and is recognized by Li Chen and has certain authority.

However, the public security between the military commander and the tribes must be maintained by official personnel of the Tiance Dynasty.

Li Chen doesn't care about Hu Yanlan's opinion. If he dares to oppose it, he will die.

The two saints in the north, namely Bi Chen Tianzun and Bi You Tianzun, who were subservient to Li Chen, have also returned to the Xingyue Cave in the Great Snow Mountain.

There are three saints in Xingyue Cave, and the strongest among them is Biluo Tianzun.

What they meant was that they would wait until their senior brother Biluo Tianzun came out of seclusion and then bring him to visit Li Chen.

The senior brother must be very unhappy about their betrayal, but the situation in the north is hopeless, and many of the secluded saints do not like this kind of worldly struggle.

But Li Chen was able to defeat Tuoba Zhen, and he also had the Snow Leopard God, so they thought that their senior brother Biluo Tianzun would definitely come.

When the time comes, Li Chen will give him a beating.

Li Chen had no objection to this, and even felt that they were very thoughtful.

They may feel that if they defect to Li Chen, it will cause discord within the sect, but if they ask their senior brother to defect together, then they can still be brothers as before.

In fact, many northern tribes requested to fight, and they all wanted to work for Li Chen. Who didn’t want to replace Huyan Lan as Khan?

Huyanlan just worked as a dog for Li Chen and became the Khan without doing anything.

They thought, I don’t know how to be a dog, but I may be better than Hu Yanlan who can lick me.

Hu Yanlan wanted to laugh when he learned about their thoughts. Can the licking after the fact be the same as the licking beforehand by me?
I'm gambling my life and property, this is what I deserve!

As for the warlike northern tribal leaders, Li Chen let Helan Xuan deal with them. He let him decide how many people his army could accept, but he did not allow the northern tribes to participate in the war without authorization.

Helan Xuan was the last one to surrender, so he had a certain appearance, and he was very strong and had high prestige.

The leaders were willing to listen to him.

It looks like Li Chen is training someone to check and balance Hu Yanlan.

But Li Chen painted a rosy picture for Hu Yanlan, telling him not to focus on the Sassanid Empire, but to reorganize his army, as the Tianluo Dynasty further north was his real target.

After eating this big piece of cake, Hu Yanlan was full of confidence and began to work hard to display his abilities.

General Guo Poyun, as the deputy commander of the Western Expedition, has also left the imperial capital to command the troops at the front line.

Li Chen planned to show up in the Tianwu Dynasty and then go to the Western Theater.

But at this time, Li Chen received a secret letter from the leader of Chensha Taoist Sect, Chi Yuan Zhenren. He found out that Taihua Sword Sect seemed to be helping the Sassanid Empire.

True Man Chi Yuan is a serious person. The people from his sect only saw the elders and disciples of Taihua Sword Sect helping the Sassanid Dynasty, but did not see the figure of Taihua Sword Sect's leader, Venerable Youhen.

Li Chen had come into contact with Venerable Youhen and knew that this guy attached great importance to interests. Since he had taken benefits from the Sassanid Empire, it would be unreasonable not to help him.

But he was afraid of offending Li Chen if he helped, so he asked his elders and disciples to help. It was also helping. If something went wrong, he could put the blame on his subordinates. This way he got the benefit without offending either side.

"That's a good plan, but there's no need for you to exist in this world."

Li Chen hates people who change their minds the most. He has been given a chance, but he still doesn't cherish it.

The last person who did this killed himself.

If it was that kind of fence-sitter, Li Chen could understand it. After all, fence-sitters have no right to control their own destiny. They can only rely on the strong to survive.

Whether Venerable Youhen knew it or not, it was no longer important to Li Chen. It had been made very clear in the conference hall of Zixiao Heavenly Palace last time.

Li Chen is now thinking that when he goes to the Tianwu Dynasty to pick up Mu Qingrou, the three saints from the Xingyue Cave in the Great Snow Mountain in the north will probably arrive in the imperial capital by then.

One Saint may not be able to dominate the battle, but what about ten?

Such a large-scale gathering of saints is probably the first time since the founding of the Tiance Dynasty.

Because apart from the founding emperor, no one else could gather so many powerful saints.

Those who are at the Saint level are all powerful masters of their generation. Who of them would be willing to obey the orders of others?

But Li Chen was strong and created this prosperous era.

These are the known saints in the Tiance Dynasty now, and those in the future are still unknown.

Sons of luck like Xiao Ming, Xu Zifeng and others are all qualified to reach the Saint level, and their upper limit is very high.

On the other hand, there are also some people with powerful bloodlines who are working hard to ascend to the Saint Realm. Their talents are even more terrifying.

As the oldest Piaomiao Immortal Alliance in the Tiance Dynasty, it is also full of powerful people.

Li Xian infiltrated Piaomiao Immortal Alliance and successfully began to come into contact with those mysterious young powerful people through a woman from a hidden sect.

As a cultivator at the Guantian realm, Li Xian made friends with Lin Xun, a disciple of an ancient sect who was also at the Guantian realm, and Yi Yu, a disciple of the ancient royal family.

The reason why Lin Xun and Yi Yu made friends with Li Xian was not because of Li Xian's royal status. He, the second prince, was a rat crossing the street, and these hidden forces looked down on the forces in the world.

They mistakenly thought that Li Xian was from a hidden sect. Plus, Li Xian was quite powerful, so they became acquainted by chance.

Li Xian’s goal was very clear. He felt that he could not impress the strongest person from the hidden sect, and he had no qualifications to negotiate terms with him.

Then he could get in touch with these future most powerful people of the hidden sect, build good relationships with them, and then let them deal with Li Chen. Wouldn't that be an easy win, right?
In Li Xian's opinion, Lin Xun has obtained the highest inheritance of the sect and has the top talent in the world. What is the Saint Realm? His goal is to ascend!

As a person of ancient royal blood, Yi Yu possesses powerful strength that transcends this world, and his outburst even surprised Li Xian.

Once these two enter the Saint realm, they will be so terrifying that it is unimaginable.

Li Xian will definitely come to curry favor with them and wait for them to take him flying in the future.

Li Xian had already imagined how miserable Li Chen would be in being defeated by the two of them in the future world.

No one knows whether his fantasy can come true, but Lin Xun and Yi Yu were slapped in the face by Li Chen, which has already happened.

Just as Li Xian was trying hard to blend in with the hidden forces, he saw someone who surprised him. That was Li Yang, the prince of Jing'an.

When they met, they were both very surprised.

Everyone knows that what happened to Li Xian was an attempted treason.

But when Li Xian heard about Li Yang's experience, he said, "Are you crazy?"

Li Yang didn't know how to answer, and it was difficult to explain.

Li Xian also did not agree to cooperate with Li Yang. Li Yang even betrayed the crown prince. Such a person cannot be trusted.

To be honest, Li Xian and the prince had a very bad relationship, but they both wanted to kill Li Yang to maintain the dignity of the royal family!
Li Xian had fallen to such a state that he had not even thought of colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty. How could he possibly look up to Li Yang?

Even though Li Yang had a lot of grievances, Li Xian just said, "From now on, we will just pretend we don't know each other and go our separate ways."

Having said that, Li Xian was about to leave, but Li Yang's words made Li Xian stop.

"If I say I can resurrect the emperors of previous dynasties, would you consider working together?"
