My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

"Make it a deal for me!"

Li Tai stomped his foot, forcing out a drop of blood essence from his fingertip and placing it in the center of the array plate.

"Buzz—!"

The enormous, dark blue black hole in the starry sky instantly contracted and solidified.

Finally, it transformed into a magnificent spatial gate, hundreds of feet tall, radiating a stable golden light!

"Father! It's done!"

Li Tai wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head triumphantly, and shouted.

"Your Majesty, I have completely solidified the coordinates of this teleportation array and enhanced it with the array runes of our Great Tang Dynasty. From this day forward, this door will be the permanent passage connecting the Great Tang Dynasty with this world!"

Upon hearing Li Tai's report...

Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

He slowly descended to the edge of the sinkhole and sheathed the Emperor's Sword.

"Your Majesty is mighty! Long live the Tang Dynasty!"

at this time.

The leaders of the major sects, led by the Qingyun Sect Master, finally snapped out of their shock.

These people are all shrewd; how could they not see the current situation?

With the Blood Fiend Sect destroyed, the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall balance of power and structure) of this world has been completely reshaped. And this terrifying force before them, called "Great Tang," possesses the power to easily crush them!

The sect leader of Qingyun Sect bowed deeply with his hands clasped.

"I am willing to lead my entire sect to submit to the Great Tang! I humbly request that you accept me and grant me protection!"

"Please take me in!"

Tens of thousands of cultivators bowed and prostrated themselves in unison, their shouts deafening.

Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the group of subjugated otherworldly cultivators. A hint of imperial grandeur, encompassing the entire world, flashed in his majestic eyes.

"Granted!"

Li Shimin waved his hand.

"From this day forward, this world belongs to my Great Tang! All who submit to my Great Tang will be protected by the destiny of the nation!"

The entire audience cheered and jumped for joy; the happiness of surviving a disaster was evident on everyone's face.

On the other side of the crowd.

Jiang Liyue and Jiang Qingxue followed Empress Zhangsun as they slowly landed on the ground.

He saw that Li Chen was completely unharmed, suffering only minor injuries.

Jiang Liyue bit her lip, and the tears that had been welling up in her eyes finally spilled out.

She strode forward, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back. All she could do was glare fiercely at the liar before her with her bloodshot eyes.

"You...you're still alive, that's good." Jiang Liyue turned her face away, her voice choked with a hint of pride.

"Hehe, I'm such a handsome guy that even the King of Hell wouldn't dare take me."

Li Chen grinned, preparing to give the girl a hug for surviving a close call.

however.

Just then, a warm and smooth hand gently pulled Jiang Liyue's hand.

Empress Zhangsun stepped forward.

Her loving eyes looked Jiang Liyue up and down, and she became more and more satisfied with her.

"Good child, were you frightened just now? With your mother here, no one can bully you."

Hearing those gentle words.

Jiang Liyue's originally pale face instantly turned bright red, her ears burning red. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

"I...I..." Jiang Liyue stammered, her head almost touching her chest.

next second.

A crisp, explosive "snap" suddenly rang in his ears.

That sound.

It's the crisp sound of a belt being unbuckled and whipped in mid-air.

In that instant, every hair on Li Chen's body stood on end as if he had been electrocuted!

A childhood trauma deep within my soul surged wildly into my mind.

He turned his head stiffly.

Li Shimin had silently appeared behind him without him noticing.

The Tang emperor, who had just been awe-inspiring and unparalleled, now wore a dark expression as he slowly and deliberately drew out a jade belt engraved with golden dragon patterns.

The Imperial Royal Supply of the Tang Dynasty – Seven Wolves!

"Father... Emperor..."

Li Chen swallowed hard, his legs began to tremble uncontrollably, and he forced a fawning smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Um... there are so many people watching, could you please give me some face?"

"face?!"

Li Shimin's eyes widened, and his mustache almost reached the sky.

"You unfilial son, you've been philandering outside, taking advantage of others and even daring to use my name! You've made me bear the stigma of being a 'most despicable scumbag' in front of your mother!"

"Have you considered my feelings?!"

Li Shimin roared and swung the Seven Wolves sword in his hand in mid-air, creating a piercing sonic boom.

"I'm going to break your legs today!"

"Holy crap! Help!"

Li Chen screamed, covered his head, and ran away as fast as he could.

"Holy crap! Chang Le, save me!"

"You unfilial son, don't run! Stop right there!"

And so.

On the ruins of the Demon Sect, which had just witnessed a life-or-death battle and were now in complete disarray.

A spectacular scene unfolded that left all the otherworldly cultivators speechless.

That peerless genius who just punched away a Golden Core elder and was as ferocious as a humanoid demon beast.

At this moment, he was being chased and beaten all over the mountain by a middle-aged man wielding a belt.

As it ran, it let out screams like a pig being slaughtered.

"Don't hit my face! Father, I make a living with my looks!"

"Snapped!"

"Ouch, my butt!"

Watching this chaotic farce between the father and son.

Empress Zhangsun sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation, while the Crown Prince and Li Tai suppressed their laughter, their expressions suggesting they were enjoying the spectacle.

Seeing Li Chen's comical scramble for his hands in his hands, Jiang Liyue finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, her smile as radiant as a flower.

The cheerful laughter dispelled the lingering gloom in this place.

Half an hour later.

The farce has finally come to an end.

The Tang army had looted the Blood Fiend Sect completely. Not only did they empty the treasure vault, they didn't even leave a single intact floor tile behind.

"Return in triumph! Go back to the capital!"

Accompanied by Li Jing's loud shouts.

The mighty Tang Dynasty cultivator army, escorting countless spoils of war and surrendering sect cultivators, stepped into the golden spatial gate in an orderly manner.

Ning Xiu, holding Xing'er's hand, followed at the back of the group with a look of awe and longing, preparing to head to that legendary sacred country.

Li Chen rubbed his still throbbing buttocks and walked at the back of the line.
