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

Chapter 234 I was wondering why you weren't afraid, it turns out you're the scary one! (Please subscribe, please vote)
These two men and two women are Jiang Mo's senior brothers and sisters. They have been practicing in Yuxu Immortal Palace for a long time and must be very familiar with each other.

They can be said to be two pairs of prepared Taoist companions. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be together after they achieve success in their cultivation.

The appearance of Jiang Mo is undoubtedly a test of their relationship.

You know, Jiang Mo is extremely beautiful. She has a pure and lovely appearance, and a tall and full figure. She walks in a swaying manner. This kind of foul appearance is the type that no man can resist.

The two senior brothers often use the excuse of being an early disciple and caring about Jiang Mo to try to please Jiang Mo secretly, with the purpose of definitely gaining Jiang Mo's favor.

As long as Jiang Mo is willing, both of them can dump their "girlfriends".

Since we haven’t become Taoist companions yet, we can have an extra better choice.

So her two senior sisters also became the backup plans of the two senior brothers, and they often quarreled because of this.

If it were someone else, the two senior sisters would have left long ago.

But these two senior brothers are both from prominent backgrounds, one is the young master of Scorpio Castle, and the other is the young master of the Chen family in Shanyin City. They are not only gifted, but also have powerful backgrounds, and both are heirs to their own forces.

The two senior sisters also had some opinions about Jiang Mo, but Jiang Mo only wanted to practice and followed Ning Tao in practice honestly. The two senior sisters did not say anything and were able to distinguish right from wrong.

Deep in the mountains outside Shanghe City, in a densely lush area, lies a devil's cave forgotten by the world.

As long as you get close to this area, you can feel a faint black aura floating nearby.

Today, Jiang Mo, his master Ning Tao, and two senior brothers and sisters came to this place.

This was not the first time Jiang Mo had explored the devil's cave. Before he even entered the cave, he had already swallowed the miasma-avoiding pill.

This can effectively prevent one from inhaling evil spirits and causing damage to the body after entering the devil's cave.

When it comes to conquering these places, all major sects have professional procedures. Whether it is in regular courses or previous experiences, this knowledge has been learned. It can be said that it is common sense for ordinary practitioners.

The five of them practiced the same sword formation, which could produce a wonderful resonance during battle, making the sword light weave like a net and doubling the power.

As a master, Ning Tao is an expert in swordsmanship, and his white robe is particularly dazzling in the darkness of the magic cave.

Inside the devil's cave, there were gusts of cold wind and evil spirits lingering around.

They moved forward cautiously, and suddenly, a low roar broke the silence, and a group of demonized wolves rushed out from the darkness, with red eyes and bared fangs. It was obvious that they were affected by the demonic energy and became extremely ferocious.

"Quickly form a formation!"

At Ning Tao's command, the five of them quickly deployed a sword formation, swords flashing, and engaged in a fierce battle with the demonized wolf.

Jiang Mo held a long sword in his hand, his posture was agile, and his sword moves were sharp, each strike going straight to the demonized wolf's vital points.

Under her leadership, the four of them cooperated well, the power of the sword formation increased greatly, and for a moment, the demonized wolf could not get close.

However, just when they thought they had victory, a larger female wolf quietly appeared. Its eyes were even redder and it was surrounded by demonic energy. It was obviously more powerful than the ordinary demonized wolf.

It suddenly leaped and rushed towards Jiang Mo at such a speed that it was astonishing.

"Junior sister, be careful!"

A fellow student shouted, but it was too late to rescue.

At this critical moment, Ning Tao flashed and appeared in front of Jiang Mo like a ghost. She swung her sword, and a bright sword light cut through the darkness, directly splitting the mother wolf in half.

The whole process was easy and carefree, as if she was facing not a powerful demonized wolf, but an insignificant ant.

"Wow! Master is so awesome!"

Jiang Mo was cheering for her master like a little fan girl.

But the amplitude of her shaking was quite large, which made the two senior brothers a little out of control.

"This demon cave has been abandoned for a long time. There may be some danger. You must not be careless."

As a master, Ning Tao was still observing carefully.

Her job is to ensure that every disciple survives.

After simply packing up the spoils, the few of them continued to move deeper into the demon cave.

As they went further in, the demonic creatures they encountered became stronger and stronger.

Ning Tao frowned slightly, wondering, "This shouldn't be the case. Although I haven't been here for so many years, why are there so many demonized creatures here? Could it be that some powerful mutant creatures have appeared?"

Ning Tao’s cultivation is high, so he can continue to go inside. If he does that, the disciples will be in danger.

Just as they were planning to retreat temporarily and make further plans, two figures approached from behind.

The sudden sound of footsteps made several people alert instantly, and the atmosphere in the magic cave began to become tense.

Two figures were seen slowly walking towards them. One was a young man with a heroic appearance. He had a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and an extraordinary aura between his brows. It was Li Chen.

The other one was a beautiful woman with a graceful figure and stunning appearance, as if she was a fairy from heaven who had fallen into the mortal world. She was Li Chen's beloved concubine, Wu Nanzhi.

One is handsome and the other is beautiful. They are truly a perfect match made in heaven.

Li Chen enjoyed himself in the palace for a few days, then he checked Li Si Ning's progress. Discovering that she was about to break through to the Soul Realm, he immediately came over to complete the mission.

[Limited time mission: Mystery in the Demon Cave. ]

[Task requirements: The host has cultivated to the peak of the Condensation Realm, can go to the designated Demon Cave, wait for the Demon Cave to open, and kill 100 monsters by hand to complete the task, limited to 180 days. ]

The location of the task marked by the system happens to be this place.

Li Chen thought that this task was very simple. It was just 100 monsters and he could kill them easily.

Since the system required him to kill the monster personally, in order to avoid a bug that would make him make an extra trip, Li Chen did not bring anyone except Wu Nanzhi, and rode the Holy Tiger over.

But when we got here, we found that someone seemed to have entered the devil's cave and killed many monsters.

The two of them walked in and found six practitioners in front of them.

Both sides were sizing each other up.

Li Chen saw Jiang Mo at a glance, and his heart moved slightly, so he said: "Hey, have we met before?"

He had a concubine named Jiang Rong and another named Xie Minjun.

One is Jiang Mo's sister and the other is Jiang Mo's mother, so she feels a little familiar with Jiang Mo.

Li Chen has so many women, hundreds of them, that he couldn't remember where he had seen them.

But Jiang Mo thought it was just a vulgar pick-up technique and secretly complained in his heart.

One of her senior brothers mistakenly thought that Li Chen was a pervert who was plotting against Jiang Mo, and he immediately became furious: "Get away, don't set your sights on my junior sister, you are not worthy!"

Another senior also said, "Your pick-up skills are poor, so just forget it. I'm tired of hearing you in recent years. Can you try some new words?"

The two of them looked at Li Chen with wide eyes, like lions guarding their food.

How could they give away the meat that they themselves hadn’t even eaten?

To put it bluntly, even if it rots here, no one else is allowed to touch it.

Even Jiang Mo's master Ning Tao thought that Li Chen was a person with evil intentions.

There was a woman around him, but he even dared to flirt with her disciple.

Don’t you look at your appearance? Do you deserve it?
Eh, it seems like they are a good match.

Wait, this is not the point. The point is that Jiang Mo only wants to practice. As a master, I can't let Jiang Mo take the detour.

As a female monk, only by practicing to a very high level can one control one's own destiny.

Li Chen didn't expect that he would be rejected by the opponent as soon as he appeared on the stage.

Li Chen raised his hand and slapped the air, and two crisp slapping sounds echoed throughout the magic cave.

The two male monks who had just spoken foul language fell to the ground, blood flowing from the corners of their mouths, looking extremely miserable.

"This is just a lesson. Be more careful with your words next time."

Having said that, Li Chen prepared to take Wu Nanzhi into the devil's cave.

This sudden incident frightened Ning Tao, Jiang Mo and others.

The strong man in front of them could actually hit someone from a distance? And they didn't even notice how powerful the gap was.
Ning Tao watched his disciple being beaten. Even though it was the disciple who spoke rudely first, he followed the rules of the martial arts world and bowed, saying, "Your Excellency, it was my disciple who offended me with his words. I am Ning Tao, the elder of Yuxu Immortal Mansion. I don't know how to address you."

She spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, and showed her status to see if the other party could afford to offend her.

The Yuxu Immortal Mansion is a super powerful force in the Tiance Dynasty. It has been promoted recently. The sect master is a powerful saint, so he still has to give some face.

Hearing this, Li Chen stopped. He was no longer a rookie. He had been communicating with the monks from the sect frequently recently and was very familiar with the rules. If he couldn't beat them, he would just introduce himself.

If I don't say it, wouldn't I seem a little weak?

So he said, "So you are Qingxu's disciple. I am Li Chen, the emperor of Tiance."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chen lightly shook his sleeves, and a terrifying aura suddenly burst out, like a mountain torrent, instantly covering the people in front of him.

The momentum was so strong that Ning Tao, Jiang Mo and others felt their breathing hold, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

Even Ning Tao, under this momentum, felt like a candle in the wind and could be killed by the man in front of her at any time.

Hearing Li Chen introduce himself as the emperor of Tiance, the two brothers lying on the ground were instantly filled with panic and shock. One of the brothers turned pale instantly, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

He secretly regretted in his heart why he had just offended this terrifyingly powerful emperor by letting his words get the better of him.

He recalled Li Chen's powerful strength that knocked them down with ease, and he knew that he might have caused a big disaster this time.

The other senior brother was also terrified. He looked at Li Chen's figure with fear in his eyes.

He regretted it very much. He didn't expect that the person he casually greeted, who was the emperor of the saint level, turned out to be him.

A name can be faked, but strength definitely cannot. The strength that Li Chen just demonstrated is beyond doubt.

He secretly swore that he would never dare to talk nonsense again, otherwise he would be dead if he offended the strong.

A complicated look flashed across Ning Tao's eyes.

Although she hated the royal family very much, she did not dare to reveal any dissatisfaction in front of Li Chen.

After all, the one in front of them was an emperor at the Saint level, powerful enough to crush all of them.

The two senior sisters looked at Li Chen with complicated expressions.

Seeing this, Jiang Mo hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down respectfully, and said, "Ah? Your Majesty Li Chen? I am Jiang Rong's younger sister Jiang Mo. I apologize for any offense you brothers just now."

When the other people saw Jiang Mo doing this, they also knelt on the ground. Even the two brothers who were beaten stood up and knelt.

The sect disciples who used to be so high and mighty could only put on this attitude in front of the emperor.

Li Chen nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Jiang Mo for a moment, then he remembered where he had seen her before.

She is indeed Xie Minjun's daughter, and she has perfectly inherited her mother's advantages.

It's really unfair that she has a plump figure but a chubby face.

Since he was a relative of his concubine, Li Chen said calmly: "It's okay, I don't blame those who don't know."

Having said that, Li Chen asked this group of people to get up first.

He had no intention of getting involved with this group of people, he just came to complete a mission.

It is very dangerous inside the demon cave, but with Li Chen's strength, they don't need to remind Li Chen at all, and there is no need for them to even follow Li Chen.

So after Ning Tao apologized sincerely, he led his disciples out of the magic cave.

After walking out of the magic cave, Jiang Mo asked curiously: "Master, what is your Majesty doing in this magic cave?"

As far as she knows, the strongest should be the Palace Master, Master Qingxu. However, according to some true disciples of the sect, during this western expedition to the Sassanid Empire, it can be seen that His Majesty Li Chen is stronger than the Palace Master.

So she inexplicably felt a sense of awe towards Li Chen.

As I said, the six of them hated the royal family, but in front of Li Chen, the emperor who possessed absolute power, they could only feel fear and dared not have any other expression.

"I'm not sure, but we'd better not be greedy for peace." Ning Tao still didn't like the royal family.

This training has ended, and Jiang Mo and his group plan to return to Shanghe City to rest before returning to the sect.

On the other side, Li Chen and Wu Nanzhi had already entered the depths of the devil's cave.

"Jiang Rong's sister is very pretty, aren't you attracted to her?" Wu Nanzhi said casually while looking around.

According to Ning Tao, the monsters here are very scary, and some of them have even mutated and it is impossible to tell what they are.

There were also groups of monsters that looked like bats attacking.

If you are not careful, you may be poisoned.

It was such a dangerous place, but Wu Nanzhi felt as relaxed as if he was strolling in his own backyard.

It was because of Li Chen's presence nearby. Whenever a monster approached, Li Chen would just raise his hand and snap his fingers, and after a flash of golden light, they would all turn into ashes.

Some of them were killed by Li Chen before Wu Nanzhi even noticed what they were.

Only people around Li Chen can feel this strong sense of security.

Out of boredom, Wu Nanzhi started to act as Li Chen's wingman again.

"I think Jiang Mo is quite skilled and can put together a sword formation for Li Si Ning."

When Li Chen said this, Wu Nanzhi could tell that Li Chen was determined to win Jiang Mo.

She was thinking in her heart, this is a good excuse, and Li Sining has to take the blame.

Li Chen was also helpless. This time, he gained more than 200 concubines in the Western Expedition, and there was indeed one who was capable of fighting, that was Elisa, the Queen of the Sassanid Empire.

But Alyssa is almost at the maximum level, and she probably doesn’t have the energy to form a sword formation with Li Sining.

Alyssa’s sister Emily has good cultivation. Li Chen has tried it himself and found that she has strong endurance.

However, his method of cultivation is different from that of the cultivators of the Tiance Dynasty, so he cannot integrate into Li Sining's sword formation.

Li Sining also urged Li Chen to go out and look for her quickly, as this was a good opportunity to catch Jiang Mo.

But before that, he has to complete the task first. Li Chen’s current task progress is [92/100].

If you kill a few more monsters, you can complete the mission and leave this damn place.

Deep in the devil's cave, the wind was howling.

The surrounding rock walls were covered with strange black vines, which bore blood-red fruits and emitted a sickening fishy-sweet smell.

"These are soul-eating vines. Legend has it that they only grow in places with strong demonic energy, and their fruits can corrode the souls of cultivators." Wu Nanzhi said in a low voice. Old Master Wu had also introduced them to her when he took her for training.

The reason why she told Li Chen all this was because she knew that Li Chen had been in seclusion in the palace and was not aware of these things.

Li Chen nodded and glanced at the corpses of monsters lying on the ground.

Most of these corpses were stabbed in the throat with a sword, and the sharp sword energy still remained on the wounds.

It seems that a kendo master came here not long ago.

The two followed the blood trail and walked along the winding passage, and found many corpses of monsters scattered along the way. Some of them had already rotted, while others still retained their hideous appearance in life.

The appearance of these monster corpses seems to further confirm that someone has been to this place.

After walking for about ten minutes, they came to a stone door.

The stone door was half-open, with a faint light shining through the crack, and a figure could be vaguely seen inside.

The man was covered in wounds, with black gas coming out of the wounds and his expression twisted in pain. It was obvious that he had been poisoned by the evil spirit.

"Don't come in, you two!"

The man had noticed the noise outside the door and suddenly shouted.

He took a long breath and continued, "I was injured by a monster. I have killed it, but I have been corroded by the evil spirit. Now I can't control myself. Please prepare two tranquility herbs for me. Then I can recover. I will protect you when the time comes."

When Li Chen heard this, he immediately understood.

It turns out that the system asked me to come here in order to obtain a protector.

This is why every system task will give the host some easter eggs, more or less, making the host stronger while also gaining something.

But the problem is, Li Chen doesn't need any protector, who can protect him?

So he simply pushed the stone door open, and with a loud bang, the stone door opened.

The mysterious strong man inside the door was horrified. His body began to tremble uncontrollably, his eyes turned red, and a terrifying sword intent suddenly burst out.

"Run! This is my strongest sword power!"

He roared and slashed towards Li Chen with his sword as fast as lightning.

Seeing that Li Chen didn't have time to dodge, the mysterious strong man felt sorry for Li Chen.

With such a powerful move, I'm afraid the young man in front of me will be cut in half.

But what shocked him next was that the young man simply used two fingers to clamp the sword that was coming at him.

His so-called strongest sword intent disappeared without a trace when it came to the young man.

The scene that appeared now made him stand there in a daze, with an expression of disbelief on his face. Even the demonic energy raging in his body was slightly stunned.

You have to know that he is Feng Chu, the leader of the Xiaguang Sword Sect and the number one swordsman in the nearby Tianyuan Realm.

He couldn't believe that someone could take his attack so easily.

Feng Chu swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "May I ask what realm you are at?"

Even a fool would know that this guy is better than himself, so he would use respectful titles when speaking to him.

Li Chen glanced at him and said, "Saint Realm."

Feng Chu: “.”

I was wondering, how dare this guy open the stone door directly? He didn't show any fear at all when facing my powerful sword energy. It turns out that you are the scary guy!
