Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

The once calm sea instantly became turbulent because of the words of someone on the large ship. Just as the ship was in danger of capsizing, the man's voice came from the ship's attic again.

"Lord Heavenly Demon, I can take you to him!"

"I know that Lord Tianmo has not yet recovered, so I specially prepared a container for Lord Tianmo."

At this point, the cabin door of the large ship opened, revealing hundreds of young men and women bound inside.

The young men and women, seeing the black sea towering above the ship, turned pale with fright, and their cries echoed through the night.

At that moment, black seawater suddenly rushed into the cabin, and in an instant, the men and women were swallowed up by the seawater.

After the black sea receded, only one man remained standing in the middle of the cabin, his eyes glowing crimson as he looked at the attic of the large ship.

At this moment, a young man dressed in black appeared on the face of the man currently in the cabin.

The Lord of Taiyin bowed and said, "This humble one greets the Heavenly Demon Lord!"

At this moment, the man in the middle of the cabin had already been possessed by the legendary demon.

The Heavenly Demon spoke in a murky voice, "I can sense the demonic energy emanating from you. Are you a demonic cultivator?"

The Lord of Taiyin replied, "Yes, sir."

The demon continued, "How did you discover I was here?"

The Taiyin Sect Master said, "When the plague broke out in the Great Qian Dynasty, I sensed your presence, but at that time your presence was very weak, and I could not determine your direction."

The Heavenly Demon didn't continue the topic. He said, "Recently, my food platters have been affected. Do you know who is sabotaging them?"

Upon hearing this, the Taiyin Sect Master immediately smiled and said, "Lord Heavenly Demon, I know who ruined your food plate."

"Not long ago, the Emperor of Great Xia led his troops to attack Great Qian, and wherever he went, the plague was dispelled. He must be a cultivator from the high-level cultivation world."

Upon hearing the words "cultivator," the Heavenly Demon's eyes instantly emitted a dazzling red light. What he lacked most right now was power. If he could devour that cultivator, his power should be able to recover considerably.

Sooner or later, he will be able to leave this desolate, lifeless place.

In such a lowly world, not only cultivators, but even celestial demons could not stay.

Since he fell into this world, he had been sleeping at the bottom of the sea. After finally waking up, it took him countless years to encounter humans and begin spreading a plague in the Great Qian Dynasty.

However, restoring power in this way is still too slow; it's not as fast as directly devouring cultivators.

The Heavenly Demon immediately said, "Take me to find the cultivator you mentioned!"

The leader of the Taiyin Sect smiled and bowed, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take you there immediately!"

The Taiyin Sect Leader thought to himself, "Now we can finally get rid of that freak."

Since they went into hiding, they have been constantly hunted down by Lu Chen's men. Originally, they thought that by staying in the shadows, they could create all sorts of trouble for Lu Chen. However, what they did not expect was that Lu Chen's men had learned some kind of technique that allowed them to sense the demonic energy on their bodies in advance.

Many of the Taiyin Sect's strongholds were destroyed by the Great Xia Dynasty. Moreover, when the Taiyin Sect members encountered disciples of the Luoyang Sword Sect and the Taichu Holy Temple, they could only run away. The cultivation methods practiced by these two sects were very effective against demonic cultivators. The Taiyin Sect was forced to hide in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Not long after, the Great Xia launched another attack on the Great Qian. Fortunately, at this time, the Taiyin Sect Master noticed a very strong demonic aura in a certain place at sea.

As an evil cultivator, he immediately guessed what caused this demonic energy. In addition, with the plague continuing in the Great Qian Dynasty, the Taiyin Sect Master concluded that a celestial demon had also appeared in this world.

The Heavenly Demon is the natural enemy of cultivators. If you tell the Heavenly Demon that there are cultivators in this world that you can eat, the Heavenly Demon will definitely follow you.

Persistence pays off; they finally located the Heavenly Demon and successfully brought him to their side.

Next, all we need to do is bring the Heavenly Demon to Lu Chen. With the Heavenly Demon there, no matter how many Celestials Lu Chen has behind him, they won't be a match for him.

Thinking of this, the smile on the face of the Taiyin Sect Master grew wider and wider.

……

After the battle of Danxin City, Lu Chen took Liu Qingqiu and Mu Yunxi to the capital of Daqian. He did nothing to the two fairies along the way, as he had many things to do after conquering Daqian.

Even on the way to the capital of Daqian, Lu Chen was busy handling various government affairs in the carriage, which made Liu Qingqiu and Mu Yunxi realize that Lu Chen was not just a lecher, but an ambitious emperor.

After a long journey of more than ten days, they finally arrived at the capital of Daqian. When the people of Daqian heard that the Xia Emperor had arrived, they spontaneously went outside the city or waited on the streets.

On his way to Daqian, Lu Chen introduced many policies that benefited the people of Daqian, and wherever he went, he would use the exorcism banner to drive away the plague.

This matter had already reached the capital, and Lu Chen's popularity in the Great Qian Dynasty now far surpassed that of the previous Emperor Qian.

Sitting inside the carriage, Mu Yunxi saw a huge crowd outside the city, all there to welcome Lu Chen into the city. She smiled and said to Liu Qingqiu beside her, "Seeing this scene, what are your thoughts?"

"You've been causing trouble in Daqian for so many years, but you haven't gained the approval of the people of Daqian. They still call you the Demon Empress. But Lu Chen only spent a few months to win the hearts of the people of Daqian."

Liu Qingqiu remained silent, her expression cold. She was naturally somewhat uncomfortable, but she didn't care. After all, it was all temporary. Once she dealt with Lu Chen, she would ascend the throne and become empress. Then she would promulgate some national policies that would benefit the people, and the hearts of the people of Daqian would return.

Lu Chen did not stay in the carriage the whole time. When he arrived outside the capital of Daqian, he got out of the carriage, mounted his horse, and let the people see what he, the emperor, looked like.

Normally, the emperors of the Great Qian Dynasty sat inside carriages, and most ordinary people never knew what the emperor looked like in their entire lives.

When the people of Daqian saw Lu Chen, they were all very excited. They never expected that the Xia Emperor would look so approachable.

When Lu Chen arrived at the gates of the capital, the ministers of the Great Qian Dynasty had already prepared the surrender document and brought the imperial seal.

At this moment, Liu Qingqiu stepped out of the carriage and walked in front of the civil and military officials.

Upon seeing Liu Qingqiu, this wicked empress, some people who had seen her before immediately began to curse.

"Empress Dowager! It's all because of this wicked empress that our Great Qian Dynasty has suffered so much!"

"That wicked empress is still alive!"

"Execute her! Execute her!"
