Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Jun Hongyan then asked, "If the dragon energy is insufficient, there is still some left in the jade seal, which I can give to you."

Su Liang waved his hand and said, "That's enough."

He hadn't finished saying the second half of his sentence: "We still need the blood of three thousand geniuses. Can you give it to me?"

But it's fine to just think about it like that. After all, there are three thousand geniuses. Even if you killed all the geniuses in the Great Qin, you might not be able to gather them all.

The tasks issued by an unscrupulous system are also unscrupulous!

He cursed the system in his mind again before returning with Jun Hongyan.

The two, who were still traveling from the north of the city to the imperial city, were now more accurately described as assassins or guards from Baiyujing. Upon seeing Jun Hongyan, they dispersed and kept a safe distance from her.

At this moment, a man from Baiyujing landed behind Jun Hongyan and knelt down, saying:

"Your Majesty, during the time you were away, it seems that someone deliberately spread rumors."

As Jun Hongyan walked over, she asked, "What news?"

"Some say that the peerless prodigy secretly harbors a member of the demon race, who is the younger sister beside the prodigy. They say she is the new emperor's husband, yet she is colluding with the demon race, and that the Great Qin is protecting the demon race!"

Jun Hongyan's expression remained unchanged, but Su Liang frowned slightly.

They came for Su Lian!

Jun Hongyan comforted her, "Don't rush."

"I'll have them investigate and then let you know."

Su Liang nodded and said, "Yes."

During this time, Jun Hongyan asked Su Liang if he wanted to go to the palace to rest, but he refused and returned to the princess's residence.

Rumors were spreading, and he wanted to go and reassure Su Lian first.

Sure enough, upon returning to the princess's residence, they discovered that Su Lian was not with Jun Ruoxue and the others.

He searched around and finally found her in his room.

Upon seeing him, Su Lian immediately felt extremely aggrieved. She came over and hugged Su Liang's waist, her voice slightly hoarse as she said:

"Brother Su, I'm so sorry, I've dragged you and Sister Jun into this..."

Su Liang patted her head and comforted her:

"It's nothing, someone is just spreading rumors. You're Brother Su's sister, not some demon!"

Su Lian still felt somewhat uncomfortable; she was indeed a member of the demon race.

However, some people used this as an opportunity to attack Su Liang and Jun Hongyan, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

Su Liang also felt somewhat uncomfortable, vaguely guessing which side was behind this. He whispered again:

"Don't be sad, or you'll fall into the trap of those bad people."

Once Brother Su finds out who spread the rumors, I'll go to their door and demand an explanation for Lian'er."

Su Lian let out a soft moan and said gently:

"Okay, Lian'er won't be sad, and Brother Su can't be angry either, okay!"

Su Liang nodded, kissed her forehead, making her blush again, and then said:

"Brother Su, I'll go take care of my business now. You wait for me at home."

"Yes, Lian'er will wait for Brother Su to come back!"

Su Liang turned and headed towards the palace.

Throughout the journey, his expression remained cold, as if he wanted to kill someone.

(Some are on holiday, some are taking exams, it's all so chaotic. Although I know you're all exhausted, I still want to say—last week, keep pushing your limits, let's give it our all and get those 5,000 votes!)

Chapter 201 Stepping On, the Way of the Celestial Masters!

The spies of Baiyujing scattered throughout the imperial city all sensed Su Liang's coldness and understood what was going on.

The person behind this evil deed has probably angered this war god.

Sigh, of all people to mess with, you had to mess with one of the two people that the Qin Dynasty should never mess with!

These two people are, one is the new emperor of the Great Qin, and the other is the peerless genius, Su Liang.

Upon arriving at the palace, Jun Hongyan sat in the chair of the imperial study, seemingly having sorted out her thoughts. Seeing Su Liang enter, she said:

"We've found out; it was the Celestial Masters sect that spread the message."

The Celestial Masters Sect...

Su Liang wasn't surprised by the name at all. The people from the Celestial Masters Sect had tried to take Su Lian away before, but he had stopped them.

Unexpectedly, they took such a risky move this time. Did they really think Su Liang was a clay idol?

Jun Hongyan showed Su Liang several more files and said:

"At this moment, within the territory of the Great Qin, news of the demon race is being spread by multiple forces simultaneously."

It's difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood for the time being, and further investigation is needed; it's hard to say whether it's something fabricated by someone with ulterior motives.

"The same applies to the Celestial Masters sect!"

At this point, Su Liang naturally understood the Empress's deeper meaning.

How could such a coincidence happen in such a short time?

How do you distinguish between true and false rumors that suddenly appear?

Even if the evidence against the Celestial Masters sect is conclusive, it still needs to be verified.

This is the buffer time!

And these messages were most likely arranged by Jun Hongyan in less than a day.

Thinking of this, Su Liang asked in a deep voice,

"I need to know the location of the Celestial Masters Sect."

Without him needing to say anything, Jun Hongyan had already given him an answer.

The coronation ceremony is about to take place, and the Celestial Masters sect is playing with fire by doing this.

Especially the young man who provoked her, he deserves to die a thousand deaths!

The Celestial Masters' Path, atop Leiming Mountain in Jinling City.

At noon, Su Liang arrived outside Jinling City.

He sat down at a tea stall by the roadside, ordered tea from the waiter, and then asked:

"Does the shopkeeper know about Thunder Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter looked up, filled a cup of tea, and then said:

"Everyone around here knows Thunder Mountain. Where are you headed, sir?"

"Judging by your age, are you perhaps seeking out a celestial master to learn magic?"

"Immortal Master?"

"Yes! The immortal master who lives on Thunder Peak is so famous, who within a hundred miles doesn't know him?"

Su Liang smiled dismissively, but did not refute.

"almost."

After finishing a pot of tea, Su Liang put down the money and, under the admiring gaze of the waiter, got up and walked towards Leiming Mountain.

With that turn, he vanished from the sight of the teahouse boy in the blink of an eye, like a celestial being descending from heaven.

"Could this person actually be a deity?"

Upon seeing this, the waiter hurriedly put down the money and knelt down to pay his respects.

Su Liang followed the path alone toward Thunder Mountain. Even though it was a sunny day, the sky above Thunder Mountain was still filled with dark clouds.

From below, the summit was not clearly visible, so we continued upwards, leaping dozens of feet at a time.

Soon, the road ahead opened up, and a stone tablet came into Su Liang's view.

On the stone tablet, six ancient characters were written in cinnabar.

"Thunder Mountain, the Way of the Celestial Masters."

Having found the right place, Su Liang sped up again and finally saw the mountaintop clearly: a Taoist palace on the mountain.

Now in his eyes.

Suddenly, two martial artists from the Life Palace, dressed in Taoist robes, jumped out. Upon seeing the newcomers, one of them shouted:

"The Celestial Masters Sect is ahead. You must return immediately. We do not receive outsiders here!"

Su Liang smiled slightly, and a sharp purple light appeared in his hand. With a single thrust of his spear, he severely injured the two Foundation Establishment guardians on the spot.

"Su Liang, come and seek justice!"

He made no attempt to conceal his aura, and at that moment, several powerful auras peered over from within the Celestial Masters' Palace.

More than a dozen figures emerged, each wielding a peach wood longsword, and looked at Su Liang, the uninvited guest.

"Who are you? How dare you harm a disciple of the Celestial Masters Sect!"

Su Liang said, "I said I would seek justice."

How do you want to retrieve it?

"I have a gun in my hand!"

Those Celestial Masters disciples in front of him sneered.

"A mere peak-stage Life Palace cultivator dares to utter such arrogant words!"

"You probably don't know, but although our Celestial Masters Sect keeps a low profile, we still have two senior uncles at the Tongxuan Bridge Building Realm in our sect, and our sect leader has the cultivation of the Tongxuan Life Realm!"

"Kneel down and admit your mistake first, and maybe we can let you die a little more comfortably!"

"Kneel down immediately!"

Those people, one after the other, were aggressive and confrontational.
