Targeting the Protagonist Group

"If the emperor is greedy for power, wouldn't that leave only the lonely Son of Heaven in the world? Where would the hundreds of officials come from to assist and govern the world together?" The simulated Yun Ming's rhetorical question left the old woman speechless and unable to respond.

The old woman was silent for a long time, seemingly pondering something.

Finally, she sighed and asked, "Who have you set your sights on?"

The simulated Yun Ming did not directly answer the old woman's question, but continued to ask rhetorically, "Would the Great Shaman easily allow an ordinary Mobei woman to become the mother of the world?"

The old woman muttered to herself, "Then it can only be Aogu."

She seemed to be considering the possible candidates, but quickly realized something, and frowned, saying, "If we follow your plan to unify Mobei, then Abaoji must die."

"Not only Abaoji, but all male members of the royal family must die," the simulated Yun Ming said calmly. "There cannot be two suns in the sky, nor two rulers in a country."

"In the future, the Han and Mobei will be one family, and a crown prince and emperor with both Han and Mobei bloodlines will reassure everyone."

The old woman was silent, eventually turning into a sigh.

[The conditions and future you described have greatly moved Duokouhuo]

[Duokouhuo finally agrees to your request]

[All male members of the Mobei Yelü Royal Family have been eliminated. You marry Aogu. You originally favored Shuliduo. In your eyes, she is a woman full of ambition and desire, talent and wisdom, who can help you, but she is ultimately the Queen of Mobei]

[With Duokouhuo's help, you learn many Mobei secret techniques and gain some of Duokouhuo's power. Your strength soars]

[You return to You Province, begin to mobilize the army, lead troops south, control Taiyuan, and contact many Jìn Kingdom vassal generals. With your promises, you gain the support of most of the Jìn Kingdom generals]

[Among Li Keyong's many adopted sons, few hold military power, so you smoothly take control of the Jìn Kingdom. Since Li Cunxu has already declared himself the Tang Emperor, you should be the Tang Emperor, but you do not adopt the suggestion to continue as emperor, but instead become the Prince of Jìn, citing Li Keyong as the Prince of Jìn]

[You know that you have not completely controlled the Jìn Kingdom, and the internal vassal situation is very serious. You are not in a hurry to cleanse, but instead order the Tongwen Academy to hunt down Li Xingyun and launch a cleansing of the Netherworld Sect]

[You capture the protagonist group and Meng Po]

[You directly execute Shangguan Yun Que, expose Meng Po's disguise, humiliate Shi Yao, and have Shi Yao tell Yuan Tiangang that Li Xingyun is in your hands and you want the Elixir of Immortality formula in exchange]

[You begin to severely torture the protagonist group, starting to force them to reveal secret manuals]

On the damp ground, tattered straw was scattered in disarray, each piece seemingly bearing endless pain and struggle. In the cold air, the smells of blood and sweat mingled together, forming a nauseating stench.

Piercing screams and angry curses rose and fell, echoing in this dim space, as if to tear a person's soul apart.

On the wooden cross, Li Xingyun was covered in blood, tightly bound by cold chains. Gruesome hooks pierced through his pipa bones, and fresh blood dripped slowly along the wounds, staining the ground below red.

His upper body was torn and lacerated, the wounds so deep that bone was visible, looking shocking, as if plowed by some fierce weapon.

A simulated Yun Ming, dressed in a black robe and wearing a jade pendant at his waist, walked in.

His appearance caused the surrounding jailers to kneel down, respectfully welcoming his arrival.

The simulated Yun Ming walked up to Li Xingyun and asked, feigning concern, "Emperor, you're not dead yet, are you?"

Li Xingyun struggled to lift his eyelids, looking at the simulated Yun Ming with a weak gaze. His voice was low and hoarse, as if coming from the depths of hell: "To kill or to slice, do as you please."

The simulated Yun Ming smiled faintly and said, "That won't do. Emperor, I am very interested in the Seven Stars Art, Tiangang Art, and other martial arts secrets that you possess. I wonder if you could tell me about them?"

Li Xingyun shook his head, his eyes filled with scarlet bloodshot. He said with difficulty, "Come closer to me and I'll tell you."

The simulated Yun Ming nodded, slowly approaching Li Xingyun, bringing his ear close to his mouth.

The next second, Li Xingyun suddenly opened his blood-stained teeth and bit fiercely at the simulated Yun Ming's ear.

The simulated Yun Ming was prepared and easily dodged the attack.

He looked at Li Xingyun with a smile and said, "The Son of Heaven is indeed playful. However, I'm not afraid of you biting me. It's just that I don't like being bitten by men."

After speaking, he turned to the jailer next to him and said, "Go and bring that Ji Ruxue over here."

Hearing this, Li Xingyun, weak as he was, couldn't help but raise his head with all his strength, staring at the simulated Yun Ming with blood-red eyes, and roared, "What do you want to do?"

"Aren't you really curious about what kind of suffering and torment she has endured in this dark prison?" the simulated Yun Ming asked with a smile, his tone revealing a hint of mockery and provocation.

Upon hearing this, Li Xingyun's face turned ashen instantly, and his body struggled violently uncontrollably.

The wounds that had already begun to congeal reopened, and blood seeped out, staining his clothes red.

He gritted his teeth, his voice filled with anger and despair: "If you dare to hurt her in the slightest, I, Li Xingyun, swear that I will never let you go!"

The simulated Yun Ming said with great emotion, "Having a backer, a background, and a father to protect you, even when in danger, you can still feel confident and feel that you have a chance to take revenge."

These words made many people in reality unable to hold back.

Li Xingyun was the same.

He knew what the other party meant by saying this.

Yuan Tiangang.

The person he usually hated the most had now become his only lifeline.

Li Xingyun didn't expect that at this critical moment of life and death, he would actually think of Yuan Tiangang to save him.

"You actually know about Yuan Tiangang?"

"Then you still dare to treat me like this? Aren't you afraid of Yuan Tiangang dealing with you?"

Li Xingyun responded coldly, "Do you know who Yuan Tiangang is? He is an old monster who has lived for nearly three hundred years, and his strength is unfathomable. If you dare to touch a hair on our heads, he will never let you go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ruxue was escorted over by the jailer.

She didn't seem to have suffered too much damage, which made Li Xingyun breathe a slight sigh of relief.

But the next second, he saw his beloved woman being held on someone else's lap, and a strong sense of anger and humiliation surged in his heart.

"You... you let her go!" Li Xingyun's eyes were about to split, and he roared.

His voice echoed in the empty prison, sounding exceptionally shrill and desperate.

The simulated Yun Ming seemed not to have heard his roar, and continued to gently stroke Ji Ruxue's cheek, a smug smile appearing on the corner of his mouth: "Yuan Tiangang? So what? I wasn't scared big. In this world, there is nothing I can't get."

As he spoke, he moved closer to Ji Ruxue's cheek, the close distance causing Li Xingyun to feel a strong sense of suffocation.

He watched helplessly as his beloved woman was lightly tasted by someone else, and the anger and humiliation in his heart reached its peak. But he was powerless and could only watch all this happen.

Yun Ming in reality was dumbfounded.

"I'll go, so envious," Yun Ming said sourly.
