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

Chapter 268 Now that I am here, you can be your vassal king with peace of mind! (Subscribe, monthly ticket)

The news of His Majesty Li Chen's personal expedition spread quickly, and disciples of the entire Piaomiao Immortal Alliance responded one after another.

Because of the attack by the sea clan, this sword-fighting conference resulted in a river of blood. Their hatred for the sea clan has long been deep in their bones. Now with His Majesty Li Chen leading the team personally, their morale is even higher.

In just half a day, more than 40,000 sword cultivators gathered and followed Li Chen to the eastern coastal area of ​​the Tiance Dynasty.

The strength of this team is terrifying to the extreme.

The pressure of the Harmonious Pulse Array alone was enough to cause heaven and earth to be in turmoil and the wind and clouds to change color.

Li Chen was riding on a majestic white horse, feeling the majestic sword intent behind him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this was worthy of being the eastern part of the Tiance Dynasty, with a strong foundation.

If he waited a few more days, he would probably be able to gather more than 100,000 sword cultivators.

These more than 100,000 people are all elites. If we gather enough people, we can reach a million.

Li Chen, who was forced to do business, led the team to the eastern part of the Tiance Dynasty for support.

When the team was halfway through the march, a leader of the Piaomiao Immortal Alliance hurried over and reported with a serious face: "Your Majesty, we just received news that the Fourth Army of the Eastern Tiance Dynasty was defeated and the coastal defense line was in danger!"

"What?" Li Chen frowned, confused.

As the emperor of the Tiance Dynasty, he naturally knew the strength of the Fourth Army.

This army was specially established to guard against the sea tribe. It is well-equipped and well-trained. No matter how strong the sea tribe is, it is impossible to defeat them easily on land.

Such an abnormal situation made Li Chen feel something was wrong.

At this time, Mo Wulei stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Army is very powerful, and it shouldn't be so weak. Maybe something went wrong in Qingqiu City, causing them to be unable to command normally. Why don't we go to Qingqiu City first to check it out?"

Mo Wulei is Li Yu's "ally", he must know something about the situation.

Li Chen nodded, thinking it made sense, and gave the order: "The entire army turns around and heads for Qingqiu City!"

Forty thousand sword cultivators marched towards Qingqiu City in a mighty force.

When they arrived at Qingqiu City, they found that it was heavily guarded, with fully armed soldiers standing on the city walls, and there was no sign of an attack.

That's strange. Qingqiu City is obviously safe and sound, so why is the Fourth Army losing ground?

Li Chen was even more confused, but if he wanted to know the specific situation, he had better go into the city.

In fact, in order to smoothly implement the plan to attack the Tiance Dynasty, the sea clan actually set up an ambush nearby.

After the Third Prince Li Yu leads the main force to leave Qingqiu City, the ambush troops will be deployed to deal a heavy blow to the Fourth Army.

But Li Yu had the intention of usurping the throne, so he deliberately concealed his strength and only sent some weak troops to fight. The main force was still in the city, waiting for Li Chen to lead the army from the imperial capital.

The elite sea clan army ambushed halfway could only wait, but they never found their target.

Perhaps by the time you reach the target, it has already 'deteriorated'.

Li Chen's sudden arrival completely disrupted everyone's plans, including Li Chen's own. He didn't expect that he would come to this place.

At this moment, the third prince Li Yu was practicing in the yard. This was his daily homework.

A deputy general suddenly ran in at the door, which made Li Yu unhappy.

Li Yu was about to scold him because he hated being disturbed when he was practicing.

But the deputy general said hurriedly: "Your Highness, something is wrong. His Majesty has arrived near Qingqiu City."

Li Yu was greatly frightened by these words. The messenger sent to the imperial capital had just left for a short time, but how come Li Chen arrived? Could it be that Li Chen could teleport?

"Quickly stop him at the city gate and wait for me to come over." Li Yu gave instructions quickly.

"It's too late. At first, tens of thousands of sword cultivators entered the city, led by the leader of the Heavenly Crying Sword Tomb, Mo Wulei. The soldiers guarding the city did not stop them, but no one expected that His Majesty was in this team." The deputy general's tone was somewhat helpless. They came too suddenly, and the Heavenly Crying Sword Tomb was Li Yu's backer, so it was really difficult for them to stop them.

Upon hearing this, Li Yu led his personal soldiers and hurried to the commander-in-chief's hall where orders were given, trying his best to stop Li Chen from arriving.

When he stepped into the palace, the scene before him made his heart sink.

Li Chen was already sitting on the podium with a calm expression.

If it were anyone else, sitting in this place would be considered treason, but Li Chen was the legitimate emperor. In the Tiance Dynasty, there was no place where he could not sit. This was the first time Li Yu had seen Li Chen since he left the imperial capital last time.

On the command platform, Li Chen was surrounded by divine power and purple air. The nine holy rings were slowly rotating behind him, shining with golden light, as if he was the master of heaven and earth.

The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the entire commander's hall to tremble slightly, and even the air became sticky.

Li Yu only took a glance and felt an invisible pressure coming towards him, even breathing became difficult.

What made him even more desperate was that his backer, Mo Wulei, the leader of the Tianku Sword Tomb, was standing respectfully beside Li Chen, just like Li Chen's subordinate.

The leaders of the other four major sword sects also lined up in order, with solemn expressions, and it was obvious that they had completely submitted to Li Chen's majesty.

Li Yu thought to himself: No wonder the Second Prince Li Xian knelt down when he faced Li Chen alone in the imperial capital. Isn't this just kneeling and waiting to die?

He then knelt on the ground without hesitation, forced a false smile on his face, and said with his hands clasped, "Your Majesty, why did you come here in person?"

Li Chen glanced at him calmly and said casually, "The invasion of the sea tribe concerns the foundation of the country. How can I sit idly by? Third brother, since you are here, why don't you lead the army to support us?"

Don’t ask why Li Chen knew this, the deputy general next to him confessed it.

Li Yu's face froze and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

The excuses he had prepared seemed pale and powerless at this moment, and he could only laugh dryly: "I was just about to send out the troops, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty would come in person. In this case, I am willing to go with Your Majesty!"

Li Chen waved his hand and said calmly, "No need. I heard from your memorial that you really want to be a vassal king, but you are too busy with official duties to spare time. Now that I am here, you can just be a vassal king with peace of mind. Leave this to me."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, which stunned Li Yuren. What was going on?
A few days ago, I was still plotting how to get rid of Li Chen, and today Li Chen 'got rid of' me?
It felt like Li Chen easily dealt with me without much effort.

In fact, he felt right. Li Chen was just doing it smoothly, even taking advantage of the situation. He didn't have to spend any effort at all, including being passive when he came here.

There was silence in the hall. Everyone held their breath, not daring to even breathe.

Li Yu knelt on the ground, his face as pale as paper. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he could not make any sound.

With just one sentence, Li Chen deprived Li Yu of his military power.

"I obey!"

Under various pressures, Li Yu finally uttered these three humiliating words.

Leaving Qingqiu City, he will care nothing.

It’s not that he hasn’t thought about fighting to the death, but the current matching mechanism is outrageous. He is only in the Guantian Realm, and is matched with six people in the Saint Realm. How can he win?
Even if the army could obey his orders, there were still tens of thousands of sword cultivators from various sects here, so the army would be useless in the city battle.

Furthermore, if he had any evil intentions, his head would fall to the ground in the next second. Li Yu was very sure of this.

He didn't understand why Mo Wulei would turn against him, but Mo Wulei felt that it was natural for him to do so. You ask me to beat Li Chen, how can I do it?
After leaving the Commander's Hall, Li Yu's loss had reached its extreme.

His fief was Anxin City. After leaving Qingqiu City, he was no longer the third prince, but King Anxin.

In fact, he is still relatively lucky, after all, he is considered a prince. The second prince Li Xian is still a wanted criminal.

Li Yu didn't know how to face Li Xian later, but the same problem also appeared on Li Xian.
