Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 514 Jiangdong Changes Hands, Heavenly Fire Draws Attention!

Jiangdong, outside Tianwu City.

Dark clouds loomed over the city, revealing a majestic military formation. As far as the eye could see, there was a sea of ​​people, with swords and spears standing tall, and a valiant man at the head of the formation.

King Wu Tai'an of Zhennan.

Upon receiving the urgent letter from Junior Guardian Li Tai'an, and then rushing to Tianwu City with his troops, Wu Tai'an's mood at this moment could only be described as spirited and exhilarated.

However, he carefully concealed these emotions deep within his heart, but on the surface, he still put on a heartbroken expression. Observing the chaotic yet vibrant Tianwu City, where everything was thriving due to the fighting competition, he couldn't help but sigh, and then clapped his hands forcefully:

"Damn it, how did the Dao Court become like this!"

While reprimanding him, Wu Tai'an couldn't help but think to himself:
"Keep it up! Keep playing!"

Although he is now on the same side as the Junior Guardian, Junior Tutor, and Junior Preceptor, he is, after all, a member of the Tianwu royal family, and a temporary alliance cannot change his stance.

Therefore, even though he had arrived quite early, he deliberately waited for a while until he estimated that about 40-50% of the officials had been killed or maimed, and that the vacant positions would be just enough for him to place his own people into the central government. Only then did he leisurely issue the order to enter Tianwu City.

But the next second.

Suddenly, beams of light from the array shot into the sky, blocking his path into the city. This sudden change immediately made Wu Tai'an frown.

"What a courage!"

Wu Tai'an raised his eyes slightly and quickly spotted a familiar figure in the array of Tianwu City. It was Xiao Shan, the demon cultivator who was the first to join Lü Yang.

"What are you doing there? The Imperial City Guard shouldn't be responsible for city defense, right?"

Wu Tai'an was secretly delighted, but on the surface he maintained an upright and incorruptible expression: "Bring Du Huan out to see me! Immediately stop the brutality of the Imperial City Guard!"

"The Imperial City Guard enforces the law impartially, all for the safety of the Dao Court."

Xiao Shan smiled and said softly, "Lord Du Huan has other important matters to attend to. Why don't you stay outside the city and wait for Lord Du Huan to come and explain to you?"

"Bastard!"

Wu Tai'an flew into a rage and shouted, "You bunch of idiots! Are you beating the officials in court because you're worried about the safety of the Dao Court?"

"You traitors, stay put! I'll use my supernatural powers to send you all to heaven right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Tai'an immediately activated his magic power, unleashing a series of divine abilities. The army behind him also began to line up, clearly preparing to force their way into the city.

Just then, the originally bright Tianwu City formation suddenly trembled, and then, as if water without roots, the originally powerful energy instantly dropped. Xiao Shan, who was guarding the city wall, looked back and saw three streaks of light flying over one after another. They were none other than the three of them: the Junior Guardian, the Junior Master, and the Junior Tutor!
"Welcome the Prince of Zhennan to the capital!"

Junior Guardian Li Tai'an was the first to speak loudly, and it was he who broke the formation of Tianwu City. This was the most crucial move, enough to determine the outcome of the situation.

"Now that the Imperial City Guard and the Five Armies have turned on the officials, that demonic dragon must have lost all credibility with the Crown Prince and Empress. As long as we allow the Prince of Zhennan to enter the city and guard the Emperor's insignia, the situation will be settled. No matter how much that demonic dragon struggles, it will only face certain death!"

Thinking of this, Li Tai'an was immediately filled with excitement.

The next second, he looked coldly at Xiao Shan and the group of Imperial City Guard cultivators on the city wall: "Please, Your Highness, take action and execute these traitors first!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shan's gaze immediately turned serious.

Previously, he probably would have already knelt down and begged for mercy. However, after experiencing the power and position of the Imperial City Guard and receiving various allowances and bribes from Lü Yang, he changed his tune.
His knees just wouldn't let him kneel down.

Even if he had to kneel, he would only kneel to one person!

Upon realizing this, Xiao Shan immediately shouted, "Imperial City Guard, obey my orders and be loyal!"

"loyalty!"

Amidst a cacophony of sounds, most of the Imperial City Guard cultivators remained where they were, except for a very few who chose to flee.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Wu Tai'an's eyes, but it quickly transformed into an even stronger killing intent.

The five supernatural powers were activated, and it looked like they were about to crash down.

But at this moment.

"Imperial decree has arrived—!" The sharp voice broke the tense atmosphere, and everyone present was stunned for a moment before turning around to look at the group of people from which the voice came.

"The palace troops?"

Junior Guardian Li Tai'an looked surprised, but when he saw the leader, his surprise turned into horror and an indescribable panic:

"Do Hwan!?"

"Greetings, Your Excellencies." Lü Yang smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, then looked at Wu Tai'an and nodded in return, saying, "Your Highness, it has been a long time."

"Boom!"

Before Lü Yang could finish speaking, Junior Guardian Li Tai'an, showing no intention of communicating with him, preemptively attacked, his supernatural powers instantly engulfing Lü Yang.

Because his intuition told Li Tai'an that he absolutely could not let Lü Yang continue speaking like this, otherwise everything he had painstakingly planned, and even the entire Dao Court and Jiangdong, would face a dramatic change! At that time, not only him, but all the civil and military officials of the current Dao Court would be completely overturned!

But it was too late.

Faced with Li Tai'an's supernatural power, Lü Yang didn't even bother to retaliate. He simply took out a golden talisman from his pocket.

The Emperor's Seal!

Around the talisman, the official positions of the five military commanders were linked together like stars surrounding the moon, eventually transforming into a single position that surpassed everyone present.
[As if I were personally present!]
"Pfft!"

The next second, the Junior Guardian, Junior Tutor, Junior Preceptor, Wu Tai'an, and all the Daoist officials present all knelt down on the ground uncontrollably!
Seeing this, Lü Yang smiled with satisfaction and then took out a scroll.

"By the Empress's decree, all officials, heed the order!"

The scroll unfurled, gleaming with golden light, and from it emanated a voice, weak and listless, yet languid and alluring, as if it had just emerged from a great battle:

“Everything is over, Junior Guardian Li Tai’an.”

Li Tai'an's eyes widened immediately: "Your Majesty the Empress! You!?"

Without giving him a chance to speak further, Empress Xiao continued, "Because of your selfishness, bloodshed has been caused in the capital. I cannot bear it."

Before he could finish speaking, Lü Yang suddenly tapped the imperial edict and whispered, "Be a little tougher."

"Oh, okay~"

Empress Xiao paused slightly, then suddenly became stern: "Minister Du and I have reached an agreement. All officials shall return to their residences immediately."

"In addition, Li Tai'an, Zheng Pingyi, and Kong Xingxiao, effective immediately, you are stripped of your positions as Junior Guardian, Junior Tutor, and Junior Preceptor. Do you understand? From now on, you are nothing! You are no longer disciples of the Three Dukes, and all officials shall obey the command of the Imperial City Guard and the Five Armies."

"And there's also Wu Tai'an, the Prince of Zhennan."

"Unauthorized troop deployment into the capital is a heinous crime of treason. Suspected of colluding with the Jiangbei Demonic Sect, arrest them immediately and bring them to the Imperial City Guard for severe interrogation!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the light of the imperial edict gradually faded.

Lu Yang grinned and said, "The Imperial City Guard will obey the Empress's decree. The Junior Guardian, Junior Tutor, Junior Preceptor, and Prince of Zhennan are all spies of the Demonic Sect."

"By imperial decree, his official position is hereby revoked!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the "As if I were personally present" sign above Lü Yang's head shone brightly, like a blazing sun, instantly stripping Li Tai'an and the others of their official positions.

The overall situation is decided!

'After much effort... finally, Jiangdong is entirely under my control!'

At this moment, Lü Yang raised his head and saw that the fleeting starlight in the sky had finally risen to the brightness of a lamp or candle.

[Fire from the Sky!]
As Lü Yang completely took control of the Dao Court, this extremely selective Supreme Position finally cast a faint but undeniable gaze upon him!

　I recommend a fanfiction, a Konoha Spring version of Naruto. It's quite interesting, and interested readers can check it out.
