God Emperor

The Deputy Pavilion Master pondered for a moment and said, "Yes. However, His Highness must answer my two questions first."

"Excuse me?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

The deputy pavilion master said: "First question, His Royal Highness will go to Wuding Mountain to worship heaven on the seventh day of next month. Is it just to rob a woman?"

Zhang Ruochen understood the reason why the Deputy Pavilion Master asked this question and said, "Deputy Pavilion Master thinks I am immature and too impulsive?"

"Your Highness just needs to answer me," the deputy master said.

Zhang Ruochen paced the room with his hands behind his back and said, "I'm going to repay a promise I owed."

The Deputy Pavilion Master made no comment and asked the second question: "His Royal Highness issued the Crown Prince's Edict to recall the old members of the Shengming Central Empire. Have you ever thought about how to protect them? Have you ever thought about where to go next?"

"If I don't have the ability to protect them and give them a better future, I will not issue an edict."

Zhang Ruochen's aura became fierce, he stretched out a hand and said, "Do you dare to go to a place with me, deputy master?"

"Why don't you dare?"

In the room, a spatial fluctuation appeared, and then the world door of Qiankun Realm opened.

Zhang Ruochen took the deputy pavilion master into the world of Qiankun and stood in mid-air, overlooking the vast world below.

"A world... It turns out that His Highness controls a world..."

When the deputy pavilion master saw the Heaven-Connecting Sacred Tree, he also had a slight emotion. He said: "Since His Highness knows what he is doing and what he is going to do next, I am completely relieved."

Returning to the room in Fengwu Palace, the deputy master no longer hesitated. He stretched out a hand that exuded holy light and took off the starry sky mask on his face.

Seeing the old man standing in front of him, Zhang Ruochen's eyes kept widening, and he felt a huge wave of emotion in his heart, and said: "Grandmaster Taiyi...how could he be you?"

The old man standing opposite Zhang Ruochen was none other than the Taiyi Patriarch of the Liangyi Sect. He had a white beard and white hair, and a face full of wrinkles, giving him the impression of an immortal.

In the Shangqing Palace, Zhang Ruochen met Patriarch Taiyi once and was deeply impressed.

Patriarch Taiyi said calmly: "Back then, Pindao and your father joined the Liangyi Sect and practiced together with Taoist Yuanfa. Because Pindao is a few years younger, I call your father senior brother ”

Zhang Ruochen quickly bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Uncle Master."

At this moment, Zhang Ruochen saluted Patriarch Taiyi, which was completely a sign of respect for him. At that time, in Liangyi Sect, if it were not for the protection of Patriarch Taiyi, the identity of "Lin Yue" would have been exposed long ago.

I'm afraid that at that time, Patriarch Taiyi had already seen through Zhang Ruochen's true identity.

Patriarch Taiyi was very calm, without a trace of confusion in his eyes. He stretched out an old hand to indicate that Zhang Ruochen did not need to salute, and said: "Back then, senior brother was very kind to Pindao, so Pindao agreed to join Hulong Pavilion and serve as the deputy of Tiangang Pavilion. Pavilion Master, there are some complicated reasons. There is no need to tell you now. You will understand it in the future. "

Zhang Ruochen asked: "Excuse me, uncle, is my father still alive? Where has he gone?"

Patriarch Taiyi shook his head, sighed, and said: "Actually, Pindao also wants to know if senior brother is still alive."

Zhang Ruochen felt a little sad, and then asked: "Legend has it that the day before my father disappeared, he summoned all the members of the Dragon Protection Pavilion. Then, the members of the Dragon Protection Pavilion took away all the treasury resources of the Shengming Central Empire. Is this true? "

"It's true."

"Where are the treasury resources of the Shengming Central Empire now?" Zhang Ruochen continued to ask.

Patriarch Taiyi said: "It has been exhausted."

"How can it be?"

Zhang Ruochen couldn't believe it.

Patriarch Taiyi said: "Before senior brother left, he ordered us to build something. In order to build that thing, the resources in the treasury have been exhausted."

"What can be built that can drain the treasury of a central empire?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

Patriarch Taiyi said: "Senior brother has issued a hush-hush order. You cannot tell anyone until the time comes."

"You can't tell me either?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Patriarch Taiyi said: "Of course, among all people, you are included."

Zhang Ruochen knew that Taiyi Patriarch was unwilling to speak out, and even if he continued to ask, there would be no results. He said: "Before going to Wuding Mountain to worship heaven, I want to destroy the Lingxiao Palace first. Uncle Master, what do you think?"

Patriarch Taiyi put on the starry sky mask again, and the breath all over his body disappeared again. He said in an ethereal voice: "You are the prince. It is up to you to make the decision. We will do our best to help you."

In recent days, Shengming City has been turbulent and turbulent.

The prince's edict was suspended in the sky and never dissipated. The old ministers and ministers of the Shengming Central Empire gathered crazily towards Shengming City from all over the world, triggering bloody battles again and again.

A large number of troops from the imperial court rushed to Shengming City as soon as possible, which increased the defensive strength of Shengming City several times.

Unfortunately, after several days, no trace of Zhang Ruochen was found in the Lingxiaotian Palace. King Lingxiao even asked Dazai Wang Shiqi to use the chess game of heaven and earth to find traces of Zhang Ruochen, but unfortunately, there was still no harvest.

On the seventh day after the prince's edict was issued, some of the disciples of the Lingxiaotian Palace appeared in public in Shengming City. "The so-called Shengming Crown Prince is just a turtle with a shrunken head. He didn't dare to show up at all. The prince's edict was issued, I just want to lure the remnants of the previous dynasty to Shengming City to die."

"Zhang Ruochen actually wanted to climb the Wuding Mountain to snatch the fiancée of Master Qiuyu. He was completely self-righteous and overestimating his own abilities. Those remnants of Shengming are just a bunch of rabble and will never amount to anything."

……

…………

Someone was instructing them from behind, trying to use words to provoke Zhang Ruochen.

On that day, a golden dragon chariot rushed out of Lingxiao Tianwang Palace, pulled by nine white dragons that had reached the holy realm. The breath from the dragon chariot shook the entire Shengming City.

A mighty imperial aura surged in all directions like golden waves.

"That is the Golden Step Dragon Chariot, the imperial chariot of Emperor Ming, once the most precious treasure of the Shengming Central Empire." A figure in the holy realm recognized the ancient chariot pulled by nine dragons and was extremely shocked.

Once, Emperor Ming rode the Golden Step Dragon Chariot to fight in all directions, and the undead blood race fled at the sight of it. It can be said that the Golden Step Dragon Chariot has a very special meaning.

"He actually rode out on a golden dragon chariot to inspect. This person is simply humiliating Emperor Ming and Zhang Ruochen. He is so bold. Isn't he afraid of being besieged by the remnants of the Shengming?"

A young man in his twenties, wearing a golden royal robe, walked out of the golden dragon chariot. The holy power he released changed the color of the sky and the earth.

He said, "A prince of a fallen country dares to issue a prince's edict. If he dares to show up, I will chop off his head within ten sword strikes."

"This man is so arrogant. Doesn't he know that Zhang Ruochen has become a sword saint and can defeat Mu Qingtian?"

"In Lingxiao Tianwang Palace, besides Lingxiao Tianwang, there is probably only one person who has such courage."

"Could it be... Chi Dufeng?"

"Besides Sword Saint Dufeng, who else dares to claim that he can chop off Zhang Ruochen's head within ten sword strikes?"

"Two hundred years ago, Chi Dufeng was a genius of Lingxiao Tianwang Palace. He could fight against Luo Xu, the top master of that era, for dozens of moves without being defeated. I don't know what terrifying level Chi Dufeng's current cultivation has reached."

Chi Dufeng's appearance caused a sensation in Shengming City.

Chi Dufeng rode the Golden Dragon Chariot and patrolled Shengming City. Wherever he passed, all the cultivators were suppressed to their knees by the might of the dragon chariot.

Just like an emperor's trip, a large number of soldiers followed behind the Golden Dragon Chariot.

Finally, an old member of the Shengming Central Empire could not stand Chi Dufeng anymore, so he led 3,000 dead soldiers to form a formation and rushed towards the Golden Dragon Chariot.

The leader reached the Saint Realm and roared: "A child of the Chi family dares to ride on the carriage of the Ming Emperor. You are looking for death."

The Saint Realm strongman stood in the center of the 3,000 dead soldiers, mobilized the power of the formation, waved a battle flag, and attacked the Golden Giant Chariot.

"Hua——"

A sword light flew out of the Golden Dragon Chariot and surged over like a wave.

"Puff."

The 3,000 dead soldiers and the Saint Realm strongman turned into a bloody rain in an instant, leaving only broken corpses lying on the ground.

All the cultivators present were trembling with fear.

Chi Dufeng's voice came from the Golden Dragon Carriage: "It's really a mob. Are the remnants of Shengming so weak?"

Then, the Golden Dragon Carriage continued to move forward, rolling over the corpses.

On the roof of Fengwu Palace, Yan Kaixuan, Wang Ji and others were so angry that they wanted to take action against Chi Dufeng, but they were stopped by Granny Bai Su.

"Chi Dufeng just wants to provoke us, let us go out and duel with him, and then take this opportunity to destroy us." Granny Bai Su said.

"Too cowardly! Didn't the crown prince claim that he could destroy Lingxiao Tianwang Palace within ten days? Now, a large number of descendants and old subordinates of old ministers have gathered in Shengming City, wanting to follow him to fight a big battle. Why did he become a turtle? Is he scared?"

Yan Kaixuan was extremely angry. He rushed to the outside of Zhang Ruochen's training room regardless of Granny Bai Su's obstruction and shouted: "Your Highness, Chi Dufeng is riding the Golden Dragon Chariot of Emperor Ming to inspect Shengming City and slaughter the old subordinates of Shengming Central Empire. How long are you going to hide?"

In the room, Zhang Ruochen sat next to a bronze table, looking particularly calm, as if he could not hear Yan Kaixuan's voice.

Qin Yutong stood below and reported: "We have been setting up in Shengming City for hundreds of years. In recent days, Grandma Bai Su has made arrangements. As long as His Royal Highness gives an order, the city defense formation of Shengming City will no longer be able to operate, let alone launch formation attacks."

Qin Yutong is extremely talented. With the holy medicine and holy source rewarded by Zhang Ruochen, it took only three days to break through to the Saint realm.

"You did a good job." Zhang Ruochen nodded.

Qin Yutong smiled to receive the praise from His Royal Highness, and asked: "Your Highness, the outside is already turbulent. How long will it take us to attack Lingxiao Tianwang Mansion?"

"Tonight." Zhang Ruochen said.
