Outside the All Under Heaven City, a royal palace suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
It includes the imperial city and all the palaces within it.
At this moment, Ling Yi sat on the throne in the Zhengde Hall, surrounded by a group of women.
His Highness was flanked by two rows of elite assassins.
"Brother, why don't you change into a dragon robe? You'll look even more like an emperor then," Ling Shuang said, covering her mouth with a laugh.
"You've made such a fuss so early in the morning just for this? What, are you trying to make me rebel?" Ling Yi was speechless.
Yesterday morning, Yaoyue and the others arrived at All Under Heaven City.
Yaoyue, Lianxing, Huang Rong, Wang Yuyan, A Zhu, A Bi, and now Bai Suzhen and Emotionless are added.
Goodness, two mahjong tables are enough.
Emotionless and Yaoyue arrived almost immediately.
Yaoyue and the others had arranged to meet Ling Yi in All Under Heaven City, while Emotionless, led by a super assassin, found his way there on his own.
These women were almost all top-tier beauties.
Surrounded by Ling Yi, how could any man resist?
Ling Yi swears that if he weren't the Protagonist of a certain novel, he'd change his name backwards.
Putting everything else aside, what kind of personality does Yaoyue have? She's a crazy little woman who'd kill any unfaithful man she sees.
But now? She's become a virtuous elder sister, and together with Bai Suzhen, Yanran gives off the feeling of a matriarch in the imperial harem.
And shouldn't Bai Suzhen adopt a cool and aloof demeanor?
Huang Rong was the same. In the original story, she would get extremely jealous if Guo Jing and Mu Nianci got a little close. Now, where's your jealousy?
Either these women's personalities have changed drastically due to some force, or as for what that force is, those who know, know.
Or perhaps these women don't like him.
Without love, there is naturally no harm.
It was purely coincidental that they came together.
Ling Yi prefers the second option.
Regardless of the situation, Ling Yi felt there were too many women around him.
It was precisely because there were too many women that Ling Yi left All Under Heaven City and retrieved the palace he had acquired in Dali outside the city.
The key point is, these women are all for looking at, not for touching!
Or, how about we find someone to try it out?
Now that his older sister Ling Shuang has no more worries, Ling Yi is much more relaxed than before.
When people have free time, they naturally start thinking about all sorts of random things.
"What rebellion? With your current reputation and strength, you could just seize any place and declare yourself emperor, and who would say anything?" Yaoyue laughed.
"I think this Feng Yun Domain is pretty good. Why don't you become Feng Yun Domain here?" Lianxing suggested.
"Most countries are founded on surnames, so let's just call it State of Ling," Bai Suzhen joked.
" Brother Yi, I want to be the Empress! I want to be the mistress of the harem!" Huang Rong raised her hand and said.
"Why should I?" A Zhu said, dissatisfied.
"Because Brother Yi likes me the most."
"Alright, stop fooling around!" Ling Yi Ling Yi waved his hand. He knew these women were just teasing him, so he didn't take it seriously.
Even if it's true, it can't be shown in reality.
Otherwise, what if he gets labeled a scumbag?
If they wanted to take a bite, they would do so in private.
Clearing his throat, Ling Yi changed the subject and asked Emotionless, "Miss Emotionless, what's the situation in the martial Jianghu of the Great Ming?"
" Ye Gucheng has declared himself emperor and is currently restoring the court, but it probably won't go too smoothly. Although Ye Gucheng has royal blood, his popularity among the people is ultimately lacking."
"When Zhu Wushi returns, there will likely be a great upheaval in the court."
Ye Gucheng? Ling Yi was genuinely surprised.
In the original storyline, Ye Gucheng did indeed harbor rebellious intentions, but ultimately he could not defy fate and failed.
But in this world, Ye Gucheng actually became emperor.
Although there may be many troubles afterward, given the chaotic nature of the Great Ming Dynasty court, it's not impossible.
As for Zhu Wushi?
Ye Gucheng can just find a pretext to kill him; Zhu Wushi is probably no match for Ye Gucheng.
"As for the martial arts world of the Great Ming Jianghu, after the Tianxia Society and the Wushen Jue Palace, some second-rate Jianghu sects were almost wiped out. The surviving Jianghu are all quite formidable."
"Take Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Demonic Cult Sect, for example. He has already broken through to the Grand Master Realm. He fought Zhang Sanfeng a while ago, and the result was a draw."
"This man has quite the ambition; he's currently consolidating various forces, and he probably even harbors ambitions to control the court from the Jianghu, or even to become emperor."
Ling Yi shook his head. "Controlling the court from the Jianghu might be possible, but becoming emperor is impossible."
Emotionless nodded and said, "Yes, although he Li Qiang, he is ultimately a man transformed into a woman, and his reputation is not good."
"If he really dared to declare himself emperor, he would likely face opposition from the entire Great Ming Jianghu."
"Unless he possesses invincible strength."
At this moment, Yaoyue added, "By the way, on our way to the Feng Yun Domain, we heard something: the Qin Emperor is going to wage war against Northern Song and Southern Song simultaneously."
"Currently, troops have begun to be stationed along the borders of the Three Kingdoms, giving the impression that a major war is about to break out."
Bai Suzhen then spoke up, "It seems that the Qin Emperor has already taken control of the Great Qin Jianghu; otherwise, he wouldn't have launched a military campaign against foreign powers."
"Didn't the Qin Emperor already control the Great Qin's Jianghu?" Yaoyue asked, puzzled.
Bai Suzhen shook her head. "Although I have been trapped in the ice cave for hundreds of years, I know the Great Qin Dynasty very well. It is the only super-dynasty among all the dynasties that has existed for nearly ten thousand years."
"Although the Qin Emperor was powerful and Immortal Body Longevity, there were still many forces within the State of Qin opposing Qin Emperor."
" The Peasant School, the Mohist School, Yin-Yang School, especially the Yin-Yang School and the Mohist School, were practically mortal enemies of the Qin Emperor because of the numerous killings they caused during the Great Qin Dynasty's unification of China."
"If the Qin Emperor hadn't dealt with these forces, he would never have dared, nor would he have dared, wage war against other countries."
"In that case, I'm afraid the world will be thrown into chaos again!" Emotionless frowned.
Unlike other Jianghu arts figures like Yaoyue, she was more concerned about the people of the dynasty, for a war would inevitably bring devastation and death.
Her instinctive thought was how to stop this great war.
But then she gave a bitter smile; what power did she have to stop this great battle?
"If war breaks out, I fear there will be immense suffering and loss of life!" Emotionless sighed.
Ling Yi didn't care about this at all; in his view, Qin Emperor's unification of many dynasties was a good thing.
Qin Emperor Huang was a man of great talent and ambition, with the courage, ability, and strength to unify the world and create a golden age that would last for ten thousand years.
Looking at the many dynasties, internal chaos, infighting, and corruption prevailed. Their very existence brought the greatest suffering to the people.
Leaving aside other matters, just take the Northern Song and Southern Song dynasties as examples. In both of them, weren't there people living in luxury while others froze to death on the streets?
Needless to say, the Great Ming was in a similar predicament, suffering two invasions from foreign enemies while the dynasty did virtually nothing.
In any case, Ling Yi felt that Qin Emperor's unification of the various states was not a bad thing.
"None of this concerns us," Ling Yi said.
"Three days later, we'll depart for Dragon Island to slay the dragon!"
Why wait three days? Because three days later will mark the third month since Ling Yi's cheat ability was activated, and also the third time the system's entries will be refreshed.
"Are you sure?" Bai Suzhen asked.
Ling Yi nodded. "Let's try it first. Even if we can't kill it directly, we should still test the Azure Dragon's strength."
"If what Di Shitian said is true, then once Dragon Island is destroyed, the Dragon Palace will be essentially released from the world, and the Azure Dragon can freely enter and leave the Dragon Palace without any scruples."
"If it cannot be killed quickly, the Azure Dragon will surely become a disaster."
Bai Suzhen was reminding Ling Yi that he shouldn't provoke the Azure Dragon unless he was absolutely certain of success.
A Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm is powerful enough; if Ling Yi weren't so special, he probably wouldn't have been able to subdue it.
This Azure Dragon is far superior to the Ice Silkworm that has not yet fully matured.
It could even be said that they are not even in the same league.
Ling Yi might be able to protect himself, but what about the others?
If the Azure Dragon were to become enraged, the world would surely descend into chaos.
"This Dragon Island, and this Seven Stars Formation, are very likely the great formation used to suppress this Azure Dragon. If Dragon Island is destroyed, it will be difficult to suppress this Azure Dragon."
"I will not destroy Dragon Island, nor will I break its Formation Dragon Island. I will enter the Dragon Palace and slay the Azure Dragon Palace."
Ling Yi naturally understood this principle as well.
The best way is to prevent the Azure Dragon from emerging.
As for how to enter the Dragon Palace without damaging Dragon Island, Ling Yi also has a method.
The Map entry plus the transformation entry are the means to enter the Dragon Palace.
The prerequisite is that we must first find the Dragon Palace; what Di Shitian said is true.
"I'll go in with you then," Bai Suzhen said.
"No need, I can do it myself. Besides, only I can do the method to enter the Dragon Palace."
Ling Yi's words were obviously not true.
He has Sharing entry; if he can enter the Dragon Palace, he can naturally bring Bai Suzhen and the others into the Dragon Palace as well.
But even if they entered the Dragon Palace, they couldn't help themselves.
" Ling Yi, this is too dangerous. Anyway, with the Silkworm Baby around, the zombie poison has almost no effect on me. Besides, the Silkworm Baby will become more and more powerful in the future, and they will be able to completely eliminate the zombie poison sooner or later."
Ling Shuang frowned and tried to dissuade her.
She knew Ling Yi was powerful, but after all, he was a Legend dragon.
"Sister, don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure I can handle." Ling Yi shook her head.
Even if I can't defeat the Azure Dragon, I will still be invincible.
Ling Shuang knew she couldn't dissuade him, so she could only say, "Brother, you are my only family in this world. If you die, I will go with you."
The atmosphere became somewhat heavy for a moment.
Ling Yi glanced at the women and suddenly laughed, "My beloved concubines, which one will serve you tonight?"
"Pah! You're clearly a tyrant," Yaoyue shook her head. " Lianxing, Huang Rong, let's go, let's get away from this tyrant."
"Oh!" Huang Rong didn't actually want to leave, but she didn't dare to say it, and was too embarrassed to say it.
So he could only follow Yaoyue away, looking back every few steps.
"Um, I'm not feeling well!" Wang Yuyan turned and ran away before she could finish her sentence.
A Zhu pointed at Ling Yi and exclaimed, "You tyrant!"
He laughed and ran out with A Bi.
Ling Yi then looked at Bai Suzhen.
" Yaoyue is right. If you really became emperor, you would definitely be a tyrant."
He then said to Ling Shuang, " Ling Shuang, let's go. I will continue teaching you the Earthly Extreme Maha Infinite Technique."
In the end, all that was left was Emotionless.
"Ahem, I was just kidding."
Emotionless shook his head and said, "I know you're trying to ease the tension."
He paused, then added, " Ling Yi, thank you!"
"What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for saving my life, and thank you for helping me save the Great Ming Dynasty."
After speaking Emotionless, he looked at his own legs, a hint of inferiority and disappointment flashing in his eyes. Then he turned his wheelchair and left the hall.
