I really became a king.

Chapter 425 The World is Shocked

In the imperial capital of Dali, ever since Prince Yi fled to the western border after a battle, Prince Yi's Palace has still been a topic of discussion among people.

However, they could only discuss it in private, and even those who did not dare to discuss anything about Prince Yi in public.

Moreover, due to the manipulation of certain people behind the scenes, a rumor intended to discredit Prince Yi's Mansion spread rapidly in the capital of Dali and even the entire Dali Dynasty.

"Hey, have you heard about it?" In a remote teahouse, a porter said this while slurping noodles.

"What?" someone asked.

"Luofu has been occupied by a secular sect..." The man finished a bowl of noodles in a few bites, wiped his mouth, and uttered a word.

His words caused a sensation. Luofu Oasis was the former location of Prince Yi's Palace and had a special symbolic meaning in the capital of Dali. Now it was occupied by a secular sect.

"A secular sect occupied Luofu? That's impossible. Could the Dali royal family just sit and watch?" someone said in disbelief.

"How is it impossible? Early this morning, my cousin who runs a small business in Luofu told me personally that the secular sect has now occupied the core area of ​​Luofu." The man in front said with certainty.

Just when everyone around was a little bit unbelieving, a farmer nearby spoke up and sighed, "Not only the core area, the entire Luofu Oasis has become the territory of the secluded sect. My brother-in-law originally lived in the outer area of ​​Luofu, but he was driven out early this morning..."

It seemed like the conversation started all of a sudden, and those who had been hesitant about this matter began to speak up.

"It's not just Luofu. I heard that Prince Yi's Dacun Royal Manor has also been occupied by a secular sect..."

"Yes, many places have been occupied by secular sects. My in-laws originally had a small manor in the imperial suburbs and lived a good life there, but now that small manor has been forcibly bought by a secular sect..."

"Alas, this is still the lightest punishment. Many people refused to give up their property, and their entire family died in obscure circumstances..."

"I've heard about this. In an oasis village in the suburbs of the emperor, a family was unwilling to move out of their ancestral land. Overnight, some died, some fell ill, and even their newlywed wife was taken away by a hermit monk..."

After hearing the disclosures from several people, those who didn't know the truth were stunned. Some people couldn't believe it and said, "It can't be true. This is the capital of Dali, the headquarters of the Dali royal family. How dare those secular sects commit such a crime?"

"Yes, and isn't the area of ​​1,000 miles around our Dali Imperial Capital a restricted area for hermits? Anyone who dares to set foot here without permission will be killed without mercy... The Dali Imperial Family doesn't care?"

"That's right, it must be a rumor. Don't forget that the Dali royal family still has ten ancestors in charge, especially the one who is already half a step into the ninth realm. How could the secular sect dare to act so recklessly!"

One person shook his head and sighed, "That's true, but..." At this point, he lowered his voice and whispered, "I heard that the ancestor who is half a step into the ninth realm has exhausted his life span, and the rest are in seclusion to extend his life, so he can't care about the Dali royal family at all."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. The royal ancestor who was half a step into the ninth realm could be said to be the mainstay of the entire Dali Dynasty. Without the deterrence of the other party, it would be difficult for the remaining nine ancestors to completely suppress the entire secular sect.

After all, the secular sects have a long heritage and profound foundation, and there is no shortage of powerful people in the eighth realm.

"Where is the Emperor? Is he just going to watch it?" After a moment of silence, someone spoke.

"Yes, where is our Great Li Emperor..."

No one could answer him, because this was also the question of all of them. The current Dali Emperor was not a foolish ruler. Would he not know the interests involved? But why didn't he intervene? "It can't be said that he really didn't care. According to the information I heard, in the entire Dali Dynasty, only the area around the Dali Imperial Capital was like this. The secular sects in other states had not set foot in it... Maybe the Emperor reached some agreement with the secular sects." said a diner who had not spoken a word.

If this is true, it is indeed a bit weird, but the Emperor of Dali really should not have anything to do with the secular sects. This goes against the ancestral precepts of the Dali Dynasty.

“Alas, if Prince Yi were still here, he would definitely not allow the secular sect to trample on the secular world so blatantly…” Someone suddenly sighed.

This statement caused many people in the restaurant to secretly agree with it. They said that when Prince Yi was still in the imperial capital of Dali, although he could not suppress the secular sects in terms of personal strength, he still controlled the overall situation.

Use your great power to suppress the entire secular sect.

But now... the secular sects seem to be making a comeback. If this continues, I'm afraid they will really take over the secular world again.

This is definitely a disaster rather than a blessing for the entire secular world. Ordinary people like them will probably have to crawl under the secular sects.

"By the way, the 300,000-strong army led by the Ye family of Bailing has already arrived at the Demon Realm Pass, right? I wonder what the situation of Prince Yi is like..." someone sighed in a low voice.

At the beginning, the Ye family of Bailing led an army of 300,000, together with the secular sects, to the Demon Realm Pass in the Western Frontier, which made countless people look sideways. They really couldn't understand what the current emperor was thinking.

It would definitely be better for Western Xinjiang to be controlled by the Dali royal family than by the Bailing Ye family. Moreover, he even allowed secular sects to establish their own sects in Western Xinjiang. His actions would not only chill the hearts of many meritorious and powerful people, but would also chill the hearts of ordinary people like them.

Once upon a time, the Dali royal family, which represented the supreme power in the secular world, was about to be destroyed.
At this moment, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from the direction of the city gate. A group of dozens of riders were closely guarding a figure and galloping wildly in the Dali Imperial Capital.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely be captured by the city guards and subjected to military law.

But now, all the people who saw these dozens of riders consciously made way, because the leader was carrying a flag with a flame pattern on his back, indicating that this was an "eight hundred miles express" and a matter of urgency, and he could ride his horse into the palace.

"Eight Hundred Miles Flame Banner, what happened?"

Everyone who saw this scene was extremely shocked, and even felt a little panic in their hearts.

The Eight Hundred Mile Flame Order has not appeared in the Dali Imperial Capital for many years. The last time it appeared was hundreds of years ago, when a large army of foreign races from the border broke through the border, crossed thousands of miles of red and dry land, and headed straight for the Dali Imperial Capital.

But what was the reason this time?
"Could it be that something big happened at the Demon Realm, the first of the Nine Borders?"

Thinking of this possibility, many people panicked, wondering if it had been hundreds of years since the foreign tribes from the border came knocking on the border again?

Just as everyone was panicking and confused, the flaming flag had already flown into the palace.

Then, two angry shouts were heard from the Dali Palace:
"Rebel!"

"How dare you, Shuzi!"

It was truly the flaming flag entering the imperial capital, shocking the whole world!
