The Hongwen Emperor's Hatred and Ambition
"This person possesses unparalleled physical combat prowess and has mastered the Dao of Primordial Magnetism. Even with my Star Chart Scroll, I was unable to subdue him."
A hint of apprehension flashed in Heavenly Star Lord's eyes. If that invisible fist force had struck him...
This body would probably explode into a bloody mist immediately.
Fortunately, he had a treasure from his past life protecting him; otherwise, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain.
"This old monster is truly terrifying; I've been on the defensive the entire time I've been fighting him."
Qin Yan's eyes flickered, especially at the Star Chart Scroll, which seemed like a persistent, persistent pest.
It can't be penetrated or torn.
They're incredibly difficult to deal with!
"Not to be provoked for now."
They both thought the same thing almost simultaneously!
"Fellow Daoist, what brings you to my territory?"
Qin Yan's eyes flickered, and he asked casually.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you misunderstand."
Heavenly Star Lord sensed the internal collapse of the Purple Star and, with a wave of his hand, transformed it into a beam of purple light, which then flew back to the Star Chart Scroll.
"I have always heard that Marquis Youshan Qin Yan is exceptionally talented, and I originally intended to take him as my disciple."
I never expected to have made such a blunder with my fellow Daoist.
Heavenly Star Lord laughed awkwardly, "I never imagined that Youshan Marquis would be your reincarnation!"
Please forgive me, fellow Daoist.
"Take me as your disciple!" Qin Yan revealed a half-smile, "You certainly have a kind heart."
"This is purely a misunderstanding." Heavenly Star Lord did not want to be Qin Yan's enemy, and bowed in apology.
"Since these two prefectures are your territory, my Heavenly Heart Immortal Sect will naturally not lay a finger on them!"
I am quite curious about your name, fellow Daoist, that you could fight me to a standstill.
He's probably not some nobody.
"Trying to find out my secrets, huh!"
Qin Yan shook his head expressionlessly. "The past is the past. Heavenly Star Lord can call me Qin Yan!"
"Hmph, you old fox."
Heavenly Star Lord saw that the other party had exposed his identity, but was unwilling to reveal any of his bottom lines.
This made him very dissatisfied.
They were all people who stood at the pinnacle of their era, yet their hearts are so narrow-minded; it truly shows how much people have changed.
He has no air of a strong person whatsoever.
Thinking to himself, he smiled and said, "Since you are unwilling to reveal your identity, I will not force you."
If you have time, you are welcome to visit my Heavenly Heart Immortal Sect!
"Must!"
Qin Yan was very indifferent!
Goodbye!
Heavenly Star Lord gave the other party a deep look, then instantly transformed into a rainbow of light and disappeared.
"Still not strong enough."
Qin Yan felt somewhat dejected, realizing that his strength was barely enough to contend with those old monsters from the previous era.
In a life-or-death struggle, I might not be able to defeat my opponent.
Which of these ancient monsters, who survived from the Era of Spiritual Isolation ten thousand years ago, didn't have some trump cards up their sleeve?
He didn't believe he was capable of defeating these old monsters in his current state.
I still need to improve my skills as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Heavenly Star Lord, who had returned to the Heavenly Heart Immortal Sect, was also extremely depressed.
I originally thought it was a piece of raw jade.
I didn't expect him to be such a fool.
"With such a powerful physical body and cultivating the Dao of Primordial Magnetism, who exactly is this old monster?"
Heavenly Star Lord searched his memories, checking among many powerful Body Cultivation from the same period, and found that none of them met his criteria.
"Perhaps they are deliberately hiding their information, not wanting outsiders to notice."
Heavenly Star Lord whispered!
Those who survived are all extraordinary.
There were six or seven powerful figures of the same era in the Great Li Dynasty alone.
Outside of the Dali Dynasty, the number was probably even greater.
This world is so vast that an ordinary person might not be able to escape even a small part of it, even if they spent a hundred lifetimes on it!
"The most urgent task now is to restore our strength as soon as possible; he was among the first group to awaken."
Leveraging our inherent advantages, we strive to recover to our peak condition as quickly as possible.
The terrifying atmosphere emanating from the great battle that erupted deep in the mountains of Qinghe Town.
It can be sensed even from a great distance.
The various secret agents who remained in the area continuously sent out intelligence.
Information about mysterious powerful figures clashing has appeared on the tables of various factions!
"Based on the intelligence gathered on the scene, this is a battle between at least Supreme Grandmaster- level experts, and possibly even between the Fourth Realm!"
That night, many people witnessed blood shooting into the sky.
This scene is the same as the cultivation technique practiced by Marquis Youshan Qin Yan, and it is very likely that the people behind the scenes are fighting against a mysterious expert!
"Someone must have been ignoring Qin Yan, which attracted the attention of powerful Assassination."
Inside the palace!
Hongwen Emperor frowned as he listened to his ministers' report.
"What a pity, we couldn't kill that traitor Qin Yan!"
His voice was filled with hatred; even now, he couldn't understand why the other person would betray him.
"Your Majesty, it won't be so easy to kill this traitor now."
According to our analysis, there is a greater than 60% probability that the battle that night was between experts at the Fourth Realm.
Qin Yan likely has the support of some mysterious force; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to openly rebel.
Upon hearing this, Hongwen Emperor frowned even more deeply.
This reminded him of the mysterious sect behind the other party.
"So this was all planned a long time ago."
The more this is the case.
Hongwen Emperor grew increasingly wary and resentful of Qin Yan.
Especially the information presented in the memorials.
Under Qin Yan's rule, the people lived in peace and prosperity, and he treated them with the utmost kindness.
It can be described as a time of peace and tranquility!
The contrast between the two situations further highlights the incompetence of the imperial court.
How could he not be angry, how could he not hate?
Nowadays, the people of Youshan Prefecture only know Qin Yan and not the emperor, and even openly curse the imperial court.
One by one, their rebellious intentions were revealed!
They're all traitors.
Although he now Dao One Immortal Sect, the relationship between them has become increasingly unequal.
To rebuild the mountain gate, Immortal Master Yunchen ordered him to gather the people under his jurisdiction and spend countless resources to build palaces and pavilions!
Its grandeur far surpasses that of the imperial palace.
This is an incredibly large expenditure of resources, all for the sake of establishing this Dao One Immortal Sect.
The imperial treasury had long been emptied.
The people were now filled with resentment, as the daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of laborers was enormous.
The amount of money spent was countless.
But this is an extremely long process, and it could very well drag down the entire Great Li Dynasty!
He had spoken to Immortal Master Yunchen about this matter.
As he thought about the other party's attitude towards him, Hongwen Emperor's expression gradually turned ferocious.
He was the emperor, ruling over the lives and deaths of millions.
However, he was ruthlessly humiliated by the other party.
They have absolutely no dignity whatsoever.
"Cultivating immortality! Hmph!"
Hongwen Emperor felt another pang of pain in his heart; he had no talent for cultivating immortality.
The inability to achieve immortality in this life is an immense pain and a profound sense of resentment.
"I will never become your puppet!"
Hongwen Emperor wanted to cultivate his own cultivators, because only by controlling his own power could he avoid being hindered by others!
What about Hongwen Emperor's underhanded tactics!
How could Immortal Master Yunchen not know?
But he didn't care at all; a pathetic creature destined to die young.
No matter how much it struggles, it's still just a pathetic worm.
He can crush me anytime he wants!
