Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Needless to say, we'll kill him whenever we get the chance.

If the test is passed, he wouldn't mind giving them a little pointers.

With the Longevity Manual at his disposal, he could train both of them into experts, regardless of their aptitude.

Chang Haoling and Chang Xuanling respectfully withdrew.

Qin Chuan closed his eyes to rest and continued his cultivation of the Longevity Technique, improving his skills at a speed that was incomprehensible to ordinary people.

After reaching the Great Celestial Realm, improving one's power becomes extremely difficult, and advancing to a realm above the Great Celestial Realm is even more challenging.

Even someone as exceptionally talented as the Ghost King Zhu Youwen only saw a glimmer of hope after he turned thirty.

Even a man of deep cunning like Prince Li Keyong of Jin spent decades lying low before finally breaking through.

However, for Qin Chuan, as long as he cultivates the Longevity Technique to a high level, he can naturally reach the realm above the Great Heavenly Rank.

This is certainly not a process that can be accomplished overnight. Even with his extraordinary talent, it would take him at least six months to complete the task.

He wasn't in a hurry; there were still nearly ten years before Yuan Tiangang's game began, plenty of time.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Qin Chuan continued his cultivation without paying any attention to the Black and White Impermanence.

Just then, a soft footstep sound came from behind.

Qin Chuan opened his eyes and saw Shi Yao, leaning on her cane, stepping into the courtyard.

"The Li Tang royal family is facing a great calamity."

She brought some explosive news.

Zhu Wen's ambition was fully exposed; he intended to ruthlessly eliminate the Li Tang imperial family, led by Emperor Zhaozong Li Ye.

Such shady dealings naturally fell to the Xuanming Sect.

Zhu Yougui, being even more cunning, entrusted this matter to Qin Chuan and the Five Kings of Hell.

"A pledge of allegiance?"

Qin Chuan was not surprised by this.

He was simply curious about Yuan Tiangang's reaction.

Yuan Tiangang devoted everything he had to the restoration of the Tang Dynasty.

But in the original timeline, why would he have watched helplessly as the Li Tang bloodline nearly withered away?

"The commander-in-chief means that as long as the tenth prince, Li Xingyun, is protected, it will be fine."

Shi Yao took out the letter sent by Yuan Tiangang via carrier pigeon.

"Li Xingyun..."

Qin Chuan took it, glanced at it, and then shattered it into ashes.

"Young Marshal, just make sure he can escape from the palace, and I'll take care of the rest."

Shi Yao did not reveal the specific plan, and Qin Chuan did not ask any further questions, but simply nodded.

She added:

"The Huanyin Pavilion and Tongwen Pavilion have also learned of this matter, and they are likely to send people to compete for the Li Tang bloodline."

"Their arrival is exactly what I wanted."

Qin Chuan said calmly.

He did not want to get his hands dirty with the blood of innocent people, and the arrival of people from Huanyinfang and Tongwenguan gave him a convenient excuse not to participate in the massacre.

"Should I keep an eye on those two?"

Finally, Shi Yao glanced at the Black and White Impermanence who were engrossed in their practice in the courtyard.

Qin Chuan shook his head slightly.

Zhu Yougui's order to slaughter the Li Tang royal family was also intended to send him away so that he could take the opportunity to contact Chang Haoling and Chang Xuanling. Of course, he had to "help them achieve their goal".

Shi Yao did not linger in the courtyard. After exchanging a few words, she returned to the Xuanming Sect headquarters.

Qin Chuan then set off for the imperial city.

The area around the imperial city is deserted for miles around. Apart from the guards on the surface, countless Xuanming Sect masters are hidden in the shadows.

When Qin Chuan arrived at the main gate of the imperial city, the five Yama Kings had been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings, Emperor of the Underworld!"

The five men bowed to Qin Chuan in unison, and the eldest, Jiang Renjie, spoke to Qin Chuan first:

"In this operation, my five brothers and I are at your disposal."

"Let's go and check out the interior of the imperial city first, then we'll make our move after dark."

Qin Chuan strode toward the palace, with the five Yama Kings following closely behind.

Zhu Yougui had already informed the guards of the imperial city, and they proceeded unimpeded through palace complexes until they reached Emperor Zhaozong's bedroom, where they were stopped by a military officer wielding a long spear.

This military general had a fierce face and exuded a strong killing intent; he was the kind of person who could stop a child from crying.

It was only after Jiang Renjie's introduction that Qin Chuan learned that he was actually Wang Yanzhang, Zhu Wen's trusted general.

Qin Chuan was quite envious of this talented commander who could rival Li Cunxu, the war god of the Five Dynasties.

If Wang Yanzhang can be subdued, his process of restoring the Tang Dynasty to its former glory will be greatly accelerated.

Unfortunately, Zhu Wen at this time was not yet the debauched and incompetent ruler he would become later, so it was almost impossible for Qin Chuan to poach his men.

Therefore, Qin Chuan only became acquainted with Wang Yanzhang and did not have much contact with him.

After seeing the token bestowed by Zhu Wen, Wang Yanzhang immediately led his guards to retreat outside the imperial city.

Soon, this imperial palace, which once symbolized the highest power in the world, will become a killing field and eventually turn into scorched earth.

Chapter 9 The Unparalleled Fiery Dragon Palm, Invincible, I, Ba Ye!

The sky was dim, with a waning moon and scattered stars.

The entire imperial city of Luoyang was shrouded in darkness, except for the emperor's bedroom, which remained brightly lit.

Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, Li Ye, sat at his desk without saying a word.

Before him, a boy who looked to be seven or eight years old knelt down, sobbing uncontrollably.

Li Ye's face was ashen as he gazed at his youngest son and sighed.

“Your ninth brother was taken away by Zhu Wen’s men during the day. Our whole family’s lives are over, but you must live on…”

With his death approaching, he lost all his imperial demeanor and became nothing more than a father worried about his child.

"Father! Let's go together! Let's leave Luoyang..."

Li Xingyun choked up.

Li Ye reached out and stroked the top of his head, saying wistfully:

"Even if we leave Luoyang, we will face endless pursuit. Only you can fake your death to escape."

"This old servant, Li Huan, greets Your Majesty!"

An old eunuch rushed over and knelt down on the ground:

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Is everything taken care of?"

Li Ye asked softly.

"The First Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince committed suicide; the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince hanged themselves; the Sixth Prince disemboweled himself; the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were too young to be killed; the person who will replace the Tenth Prince will later immolate himself."

Li Huan lay prostrate on the ground, his voice filled with sorrow.

"My children did not disgrace Emperor Taizong after all; they were just two spineless cowards..."

Li Ye gave a bitter laugh, his eyes bloodshot.

Only when their entire family perished could Li Xingyun, the last descendant of the Li Tang dynasty, be preserved.

Li Ye personally helped the old eunuch up and said sincerely:

"I entrust Xingyun to you. I hope you can lead him to the Bad Commander and not fail my important trust!"

"This old servant obeys!"

Li Huan bowed deeply again, then forcefully dragged the desperate and terrified Li Xingyun away from Li Ye's sight.

Li Ye remained silent for a moment, then picked up his sword and walked out of the palace.

Outside the palace, there was no one else but Qin Chuan and the five Yama Kings.

When Li Ye came outside, thick smoke billowed from the palace, followed by raging flames that illuminated the dark night sky.

"Rebellious ministers and traitors!"

Li Ye coldly surveyed Qin Chuan and the five Yama Kings, then drew his sword:

"Let's all attack together!"

"I'd like to see just how amazing the emperor really is!"

Jiang Zhaoyi, the fifth of the Five Kings of Hell, had the most violent temper and couldn't help but speak up.

Jiang Renjie glared at him, shouted a rebuke, and then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Qin Chuan, saying:

"Everything shall be in accordance with the orders of the Underworld Emperor!"

"I've heard that Lord Zhaosheng's Flaming Dragon Palm is unparalleled in the world, and I'd like to see it for myself."

Qin Chuan remained calm, handing over this golden opportunity for regicide and rebellion to Jiang Zhaoyi.

With his approval, Jiang Zhaoyi grinned and stepped forward, striking Li Ye with a palm that was as red as fire and radiated intense heat.

It is none other than the Fiery Dragon Palm, a technique unparalleled in the world!

Jiang Zhaoyi's skill level was enough to reach the Great Star rank, while Li Ye had not even stepped into the Star rank.
