You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

In an ordinary third-rate sect, having twenty or thirty Jindan elders is already the top of the third-rate. However, Daliang has as many as a hundred of them, which is far beyond the scale of an ordinary third-rate sect.

But if it wants to be promoted to a second-rate sect, it needs a great man in the Spirit Transformation Stage to take charge, ten elders in the Nascent Soul Stage, and a hundred elite Golden Core disciples. Therefore, the second-rate force is still a long way to go for Daliang.

At present, it can only be regarded as a third-rate force with a larger size.

If Ye Xinglan loses all of this bright future, all his efforts over the past nine years will go down the drain, and there will be absolutely no capital left to support Liu Yuntian to start over again!

The ability of Liu Yuntian was seen by the four surrounding sects. There was a difference between immortals and mortals. In their eyes, mortals were no different from livestock. They were not only wary of a mortal dynasty that could reach where it is today, but they also coveted the resources of Daliang.

As long as they find the opportunity, Daliang will probably be eaten to the point of nothing left.

If you don't pay...

Liu Yuntian really became a treacherous minister who held great power and despised the emperor. In this era when even going to war required writing an anti-enemy manifesto and having a famous name, having such a bad reputation was absolutely fatal.

In the future, who knows how many heroes and righteous men will come to trouble him under the slogan of eliminating traitors.

A thief can steal for a thousand days, but you can never guard against thieves for a thousand days.

"Mr. Liu...Mr. Liu? His Majesty is calling you!"

Liu Yuntian suddenly came back to his senses, bowed and asked, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Ye Xinglan sighed and stood up slowly. "I thought the one who killed Princess Pingyang must be the Tianya Sect. Ten years ago, the elders of the Tianya Sect bullied Daliang a lot. Now that Daliang is becoming more and more prosperous, they can't sit still anymore. The reason they killed the princess is actually to warn me not to bear grudges. What do you think, Lord Liu?"

What do I think? Of course I think you are talking nonsense!

The corner of Liu Yuntian's mouth twitched slightly, and the flesh on his face trembled as well. With the current strength of Daliang, even if Tianya Sect had three hundred guts, they would never dare to provoke them again.

The other three sects all had descendants of Daliang officials becoming their disciples, except the Tianya Sect, which stayed in a corner and was as obedient as possible.

What Liu Yuntian didn't expect was that Ye Xinglan was so shameless. It was obvious that he was holding a grudge, and now that Daliang was in trouble, he wanted to avenge his previous humiliation.

He even went so far as to kill his own sister with his own hands.

But this is very different from Liu Yuntian's plan. Tianya Sect is the most honest, and if the overall situation is considered, it will definitely be the last thing to be done. If Tianya Sect is attacked first, the other party is at least an old third-rate sect.

Even a rabbit bites when it is cornered. Even if the Tianya Sect is destroyed, it will be seriously damaged, and the other three sects will definitely take advantage of the situation.

This little chain of tricks is really well played. During these five years of seclusion, you haven't thought about anything. You've been thinking about how to deal with me every day, right?

Liu Yuntian raised his head slightly and observed Ye Xinglan's expression. It looked like Ye Xinglan had caught Liu Yuntian off guard. It was obvious that he came prepared.

First, he hinted that Liu Yuntian was suspected of causing chaos and controlling the government, and then he pointed out that the three million national defense troops were under his control, which posed a great threat to the court. I asked you to do something, but you didn't do it, which proved that you didn't obey my orders and were relying on your own troops!

If you admit your mistake and do as I say, that would be even better. I'll hand over some of your military power to see your sincerity. I'll use a blunt knife to cut the meat and play this game slowly. I'll use this handle on you for the rest of my life!

If I just flip the table and stop playing with him...

This is definitely not an option. If he really becomes Dong Zhuo, it will probably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Someone might even shout in a remote corner, "Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers any different?"

Once a precedent is set, I am afraid that the internal strife will not stop. If the four sects also make some small moves behind the scenes, the disintegration of Daliang will be imminent.

This great empire was not conquered by him, so he has no regrets in how he plays with it. No result will be worse than when he served as a dog for the immortal ten years ago.

What's more, he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage. Even if Daliang collapses, he can just raise his arm and rebuild it. Even if it is not as powerful as the current Daliang, at least he can still have the final say.

Conspiracy!

Thinking of this, Liu Yuntian subconsciously glanced at his father. The other party looked relaxed and at ease. It seemed that this cheap father had already expected this, which was why he had preached to him before.

What Liu Ziqing didn't know was that all of this was deliberately put on by Liu Yuntian for the world to see, in order to establish a perfect personality!

What Liu Yuntian didn't expect was that he maintained his character so well that he even deceived his own biological father.

Liu Yuntian had actually anticipated that Ye Xinglan would rebel. He thought he was just a clown and didn't take it seriously at all.

But isn’t it a bit exaggerated that Liu Ziqing would run away just because of this matter?

Or... does he have other ideas?

However, although Liu Ziqing's departure deviated a bit from the original plan, it was not important.

"Your Majesty...I thought that the Tianya Sect was very far away from here, so it was not necessarily them who did it."

Liu Yuntian said seriously, while secretly glancing at the old man kneeling on the ground.

"Who else could it be if not them? Who else has a grudge against my sister? Why must they put her to death?" Ye Xinglan's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of tears in it.

Who else could it be? I'm the most likely suspect!

Liu Yuntian cursed in his heart, but he still had to put on a show, "Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. Don't let this matter cause you to develop a demon in your heart!"

Then he pointed at the minister on the ground and thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember his name, so he simply gave up thinking about it and continued, "This lord is right. Princess Pingyang was assassinated in Daliang. I am not free from responsibility. Your Majesty, please give me three days. I will find the murderer and give you an explanation!"

"Forget it, then I'll just follow Mr. Liu's instructions. I'm too sad today and don't feel like attending court. Let's end the court meeting here."

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, there was naturally no need to continue. Ye Xinglan covered his eyes with one hand and slumped on the dragon throne in dejection, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

All the officials slowly left the hall. Liu Yuntian walked out of the hall with a heavy heart. Looking at his cheap father who was jumping up and down, he immediately wanted to test him. He pretended to be angry and chased after him and asked, "Father, what do you mean? He, Ye Xinglan, is your biological son, right? Not only did he not help me out, but he also added insult to injury?"

"Asshole! Your Majesty is two years older than me, how come he is my son?"

Then he smiled slyly and looked at Liu Yuntian jokingly, "Father was singing against you in the early years to remind you, but you didn't listen. Now you know that the Ye family is an ungrateful person? Hehe, it's too late! You have to bear the consequences of your own mistakes!"
