Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Li Moxuan left just in time, catching the Sky Traveler bound for Qianji City. He boarded the Sky Traveler and entered his room.

"What, have you figured it out?" Li Shimin's smiling voice rang in his mind.

"Hmm, it's my mindset that's the problem. It seems that apart from that mysterious guy, it's best not to let anyone know my background!"

"For now, it's best to focus on getting things done!"

"However, Emperor Taizong, you cannot be absent during this time. I have some important things to do!"

"Don't worry, I'll always protect you..."

A few days later, Li Moxuan stepped into Tianluo Abyss again. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he directly used spatial jump to enter the city.

After five years, Qianji City has been restored, and there are Tang Clan assassins patrolling the area. Although they are not very strong, they are beginning to resemble their former selves.

"Halt! Who are you?"

A voice sounded behind him, and then a large number of Tang Clan assassins emerged from the shadows and surrounded him.

Li Moxuan slowly turned around. The leader was stunned when he saw his face. "Lord Lingyan?"

The one who stopped him was Lin Haiyuan. Although he was only at the ninth level of the Forging Realm, he was already the head of the Punishment Hall appointed by Tang Wunian.

He gestured for the surrounding assassins to step back, "Put down your weapons, this is the Sword Master!"

Sword Master?

Li Moxuan was stunned. When did he get this title? How come he didn't know about it?

In contrast, the Tang Clan assassins around them were extremely excited, "Is it really... the legendary Sword Master?"

"Great! We have a better chance of winning now!"

"I heard that Sword Master was able to kill Thunder Domain Heavenly Monarchs like slaughtering dogs five years ago, so killing a few more would definitely be no problem for him!"

"That's right! It's said that both the Thunder Lord and the Domain Lord of the Thunder Domain died at the hands of the Sword Venerable..."

"..."

Li Moxuan was completely confused. What was all this?

Noticing the confusion on his face, Lin Haiyuan waved his hand, "You all go on patrol! I'll take Sword Master to see the Sect Master!"

"Yes!"

Now emboldened, the assassins were filled with fighting spirit and worked even harder...

"Haiyuan, what's going on? When did I become a Sword Master? How come I didn't know?"

"Brother Lingyan, I know you have many questions. I'll take you to see Brother Wunian first, and the two of us will explain it to you slowly!"

Chapter 418: Digging Up Cao Yanbing's Ancestor's Tomb

Thousand Machine City, Ten Thousand Silence Palace.

Tang Wunian sat alone in the hall, coughing up blood. His eyes turned red, and the true spirit of the white tiger emerged behind him, exuding a murderous aura.

"Sect Master, Lady Lingyan has returned!"

Lin Haiyuan's excited voice came from outside. Tang Wunian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up.

Seeing Li Moxuan standing at the door, he suppressed his murderous aura and revealed a slight smile, "Brother Lingyan..."

"What are you doing...?"

Li Moxuan felt that he was like a completely different person, but with the White Tiger True Spirit, who was in charge of killing and warfare, as his guardian deity, it was understandable.

"I'm fine..." Tang Wunian waved his hand. "Brother Lingyan, let's sit down and talk!"

Li Moxuan nodded, sat down, and glanced at the two of them. "Now can you tell me why those people outside call me 'Sword Master'?"

"Brother Lingyan, this is Uncle's wish..."

"Tang Tiannan? He came back?"

Tang Wunian shook his head. "Back then, I didn't understand why my uncle wouldn't let you join the Tang Clan, yet he let you enjoy the treatment of a high-ranking member of the Tang Clan."

"Later I realized that he had always wanted to groom you as a new retainer of the Tang Clan, just like the previous 'Three Venerables' of the Tang Clan..."

Li Moxuan, after all, was someone who ascended the throne in the underworld, so he naturally guessed the reason long ago.

Now that he wants to use the Tang Sect's scheme, he needs a suitable identity, so he doesn't reject Tang Wunian's approach, but...

"Why did those people outside say that killing Lei Bu Tianjun was as easy as slaughtering a dog, and that I even took down Bai Jingzhe?"

"Is not it?"

Tang Wunian had an expression that said, "I've seen through everything." He said, "Five years ago, the only person in the Tang Clan who was capable of killing Liu Hengdao was Brother Lingyan."

"And you even deliberately left behind Tang Clan's throwing knives. I thought you wanted to promote Tang Clan!"

"I admit that I killed Liu Hengdao, but that's all. Bai Jingzhe and the others have nothing to do with me!"

Li Moxuan knew very well that they were unlucky enough to have offended the Yellow Emperor, which was why they were wiped out...

"Ah? Lady Lingyan, I thought it was you who did it!" Lin Haiyuan said in surprise.

“Then there’s a mistake…” Tang Wunian frowned. “Should I go and clarify?”

"Never mind, it's not important..."

Li Moxuan now understood why the assassins were so agitated when they saw him. "You said you needed to talk to me about something. What was it?"

"Uh……"

Tang Wunian looked a little embarrassed. "Brother Lingyan, you've heard how outrageous the rumors are from those people outside."

"I only said that you killed Liu Hengdao, but the story got out and became that you killed Lei Yu Tianjun like a dog."

"I just said that you killed Bai Jingzhe, and they started saying that you also took down the Thunder Lord of the Thunder Domain and those Heavenly Monarchs. The rumors got more and more outrageous..."

"So now Thunder Domain has become a laughing stock, and they've been provoked to the point of madness. It seems they're planning to fight our Tang Sect to the death; they've already issued a challenge..."

Li Moxuan: "..."

Okay! So you wanted me to be your henchman...

He understood Tang Wunian's meaning and asked, "What's the situation in the Thunder Domain right now?"

"According to the latest news, members of the Thunder Domain distributed across various regions are being assembled."

"However, it seems that because the rumors about you being an assassin from the Tang Clan are so outrageous, many members of the Thunder Domain are frightened and have left one after another."

"In addition, the other Thunder Lord of the Thunder Domain has been missing, so the effect of the gathering is not ideal."

"Of the remaining four Heavenly Monarchs, only the three weaker ones responded and gathered, and the number of Thunder Domain members gathered was also small, with varying strengths."

"Even so, with the Tang Clan's current strength, it is still difficult to contend with them..."

"I understand!" Li Moxuan nodded and asked, "How strong are those people?"

"One Immortal at the Fourth Realm, two at the Third Realm, and the rest are somewhere between the Forging Realm and the Creation Realm..."

That's it?

Li Moxuan thought it would be a big deal! If nothing unexpected happened, he could easily take on the entire Underworld army by himself...

What are your plans?

"Of course we'll fight!"

Lin Haiyuan replied without hesitation, "You can be a coward at any time, but you absolutely cannot be a coward when facing these guys..."

"Yes!" Tang Wunian nodded. "We are also gathering assassins, planning a decapitation operation. We'll capture the leader first, and the rest might be scared off."

"You don't need to prepare anything, I can go by myself!"

Since the rumors have spread so far, let's make them even more outrageous! That way, I might become a legend by the time I return to the future, making it easier to start a rebellion...

Tang Wunian stared at Li Moxuan in surprise, "Brother Lingyan, you've already reached the fifth level of the Immortal Realm?"

"almost……"

"..."

Tang Wunian and Lin Haiyuan exchanged a glance. This breakthrough was too fast! They were initially tense, thinking it was a life-or-death battle, but now they could just lie back and relax…

"So, Brother Lingyan, when do you plan to set off?"

"Next week, I guess! Before that, I need to pick something up..."

What Li Moxuan was talking about was exactly what Tang Tiannan had left him; he wanted to see what it was all about...

Soon, he arrived at the back mountain of Qianji City according to the location on the map, and as usual, he prepared some ingredients to visit Taiqing.

As expected, Taiqing ignored him, but he didn't care. After finishing his work, he went there according to the map.

When Li Moxuan arrived at the location, he was dumbfounded. In front of him was a cemetery. Why did that old man bury things here? Was he supposed to dig up the grave himself?

After repeatedly comparing the locations marked on the map, Li Moxuan arrived at a tomb with several large characters written on the tombstone: "Tomb of Tang Tianji, the 136th generation leader of the Tang Clan".

That old man is so despicable. How could he ask me to dig up Cao Yanbing's ancestor's grave?

After a brief internal struggle, Li Moxuan took out a shovel and decided to dig first.

He was Cao Yanbing's great-grandfather, and he had saved Cao Yanbing from Cao Cao. Tang Tianji probably wouldn't care even if he knew that Tang Tianji had dug up his grave.

After digging for a short while, Li Moxuan unearthed an urn containing ashes and a jade box placed next to it. He buried the urn back and took out the jade box.

After reburying the urn, Li Moxuan tamped down the soil, opened the jade box, and inside was a square seal with nine folds of gilded seal script.

This doesn't look like the Imperial Seal of the State at all! The Imperial Seal of the State was supposed to be made of either the He Shi Bi or Lantian jade, but it was definitely not gilded.

Li Moxuan examined the seal. The seal knob was decorated with nine dragons coiled around each other, each holding a pearl in its mouth. The seal face was engraved with four ancient divine characters that he could not understand.

The seal is engraved with ninety-nine star patterns and is only the size of a palm. Tang Tiannan said that this thing can withstand the attack of an immortal powerhouse, but he doesn't know if it's true...

Chapter 419: You actually drugged me

"Emperor Taizong, do you know what this thing is?"

"Oh, this is the God-Sealing Seal. It's a good thing, but you don't need it now. Keep it safe; it will be very useful to you in the future..."

The Seal of Gods?
