Super Martial Era: My Little World

Chapter 375 Arrives in Succession
'This guy really is an assassin from Golden Eagle Mountain! Because I killed Huyan Baixian! Golden Eagle Mountain currently only has one expert at the Human Immortal level. That expert is Elder Eagle Mountain, who is also Huyan Baixian's master.'

'He also found the fundamental secret technique of Golden Eagle Mountain, the Eagle God Transformation, in his mind! It's a cultivation method that directly leads to the Human Immortal realm. However, there's no further transformation after reaching the Human Immortal level. It's unclear whether Dark Eagle didn't learn it, or if there truly is no subsequent cultivation method.'

As Yang Lie browsed through Dark Eagle's memories, he gained some understanding of Golden Eagle Mountain, the holy land of martial arts.

Before long, elite Yunlong Guards flew in from all directions.

"I am late, please forgive me, Commander!"

A tall, powerful Yunlong Guardian named Yan Feilong, who possessed the cultivation of a Grandmaster, knelt on the ground with a respectful expression.

"Please forgive me, Commander!"

The dozens of elite Yunlong Guards knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Yang Lie said calmly, "This guy is a Great Martial God. You're just throwing your lives away by coming here."

'Great Martial God! The Commander is actually this strong?!'

Yan Feilong felt a slight chill. The entire Great Yun Empire didn't even have a single Martial God-level expert, yet Yang Lie had easily killed one. This meant that the entire Great Yun Empire's power was utterly insignificant in front of Yang Lie.

However, Yan Feilong was already mentally prepared. After all, the Dayun Empire was like the steward of the major martial arts holy lands, and those major martial arts holy lands were the true masters of the Dayun Empire. It was normal for them to have another master now.

Yan Feilong respectfully said, "Commander, His Majesty has decreed that you are invited to discuss important matters during the attack!"

Yang Lie said, "Okay! I'll go over there in a bit."

"Yes!"

Seeing Yang Lie's disrespect for the emperor, Yan Feilong didn't dare to say a word and obediently withdrew.

After bathing and changing his clothes, Yang Lie rode in a carriage into the palace.

Inside the palace.

"Yang Lie, you've arrived! Someone, quickly, bring a seat!"

As soon as Li Renxin saw Yang Lie enter the Imperial Study, his eyes lit up and he greeted him warmly.

"Your Majesty, please speak plainly about what is on your mind!"

Yang Lie sat down in front of Li Renxin in a very natural and generous manner.

A young eunuch silently came and stood behind Yang Lie.

Li Renxin said apologetically, "I'm sorry!! I didn't want to get involved in this either! But, there's nothing I can do, my life is also in someone else's hands."

In that instant, the little eunuch behind Yang Lie suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura at the level of a Great Martial God, wielding a pitch-black demonic blade and thrusting it towards Yang Lie.

"Judging from your demonic aura, you're from the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect? I have no grudge against the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect, so why are you trying to assassinate me? Fine, since you've come to assassinate me, then you might as well die!"

A calm voice rang out, and the Xuanlong Sword flew out from behind Yang Lie, instantly piercing through the assassin's body.

One by one, the skeletal remains of those who had been sacrificed emerged and shattered within the assassin's body. Then, she coughed up a mouthful of blood in terror, collapsed to the ground, and became a corpse.

Yang Lie got up and saw that a witch with an extremely hot and sexy figure and amazing beauty had fallen to the ground, becoming a corpse that died unwillingly.

Li Renxin smiled bitterly, "Yang Lie, this woman is Shen Lan'er, the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect. She immediately took control of me, forcing me to bring you to the palace to interrogate you about your connection to Shen Chengxian's death. Now that she's dead, the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect will definitely not let us off the hook." Yang Lie frowned slightly, his cold gaze falling on Li Renxin as he weighed whether to kill him. For Yang Lie, killing an emperor was a completely painless act.

"Yang Lie, I truly had no intention of harming you. It was that woman who forced me into this! You should know that I had no power to resist her!"

Seeing Yang Lie remain silent, Li Renxin keenly sensed Yang Lie's killing intent. His body trembled slightly, and he quickly spoke up to explain.

The strongest expert in the Great Yun Empire is only at the Great Martial Saint realm. Before the revival of the Central Great World, the Great Martial Saint was already considered a top-tier expert.

However, after the Central Great World was restored, the Great Martial Saint was merely a master and was completely unable to contend with the terrifying monsters at the level of Martial God or Great Martial God.

Yang Lie spread his five fingers, and the strange box appeared in his hand. Tentacles invisible to the naked eye sank into Shen Lan'er's brain, reading her memories.

'Li Renxin was indeed forced by this woman. And Shen Lan'er is indeed the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect! Shen Lan'er took control of Li Renxin the moment she arrived. He was powerless to resist the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect! He wasn't lying.'

'This guy is, after all, the emperor of the Great Yun Empire and the chief steward of the five great martial arts holy lands. Killing him without cause will surely destabilize the front lines. The five great martial arts holy lands will also be dissatisfied. I already have enough enemies; making enemies for no reason is unwise!'

After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Lie said calmly, "Your Majesty, you are overthinking it."

Li Renxin breathed a sigh of relief and tentatively said, "My dear minister, the Shilu Kingdom has been conquered by the Blood Demon Clan. Now the Blood Demon Clan has launched an attack on our Great Yun Empire with an army of 600,000! Mingshan Gongzheng is at the front line resisting those Blood Demons. Why don't you lead 3,000 Cloud Dragon Guards to provide support?"

Li Renxin now only wants to get rid of Yang Lie, this plague. If Yang Lie stays in the capital of the Great Yun Empire, assassins from the three major martial arts holy lands will all come after him, and Emperor Li Renxin will also be affected.

If the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect hadn't still held some fear of the five great martial arts holy lands, Li Renxin would have been easily killed by Shen Lan'er.

Yang Lie nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"

The next day, Yang Lie led three thousand elite Yunlong Guards to provide support.

On the official road of Chenzhou.

Yang Lie was moving along the official road with 500 elite Yunlong Guard cavalrymen, while the remaining 2,500 Yunlong Guards were sent out to gather intelligence.

Although the Yunlong Guard is full of experts, they are more skilled in intelligence gathering and infiltration reconnaissance, and are not good at direct combat.

Suddenly, two elite Yunlong Guards used their lightness skills to fly over from the front and knelt on one knee, saying, "Your subordinate has important matters to report to the Commander!"

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

Yang Lie rode a white spirit horned horse to the front of the group and said.

"Commander, the front lines have been breached by the Blood Demons. Five of the seven prefectures of Chenzhou have fallen, and everyone there has turned into a Blood Demon. The Chenzhou garrison went to fight the Blood Demons but suffered a crushing defeat, and many of their men have also become Blood Demons. We have also lost many brothers!"

The leader of the Cloud Dragon Guards gritted his teeth and said.

Yang Lie frowned slightly and asked, "Where is the main force of Duke Mingshan's army?"

The Cloud Dragon Guard said, "We haven't made contact, because Blood Demons are everywhere!"

Yang Lie calmly said, "Then let's charge in! You all go back to your units! Get some rest!"

"Yes!"

The two Yunlong Guards breathed a sigh of relief and returned to their ranks.
