He had been waiting for someone, which was why he hadn't entered the Hidden Military Pavilion yet.

Now that someone has finally arrived, he's accompanied by a stunning beauty.

"This is Sister Shi Yao."

Qin Chuan saw the Empress pouting her red lips, looking like she was about to be consumed by jealousy, and laughed heartily as he introduced her to Shi Yao.

"Greetings, Empress."

Shi Yao nodded slightly in greeting, sizing up this remarkable woman who was just as capable as any man.

The fact that the Empress and the Prince of Qi are the same person is known to all the important figures, but they have all tacitly refrained from exposing it.

Shi Yao had only seen the Empress's image as the Prince of Qi before, but now that she saw her in women's clothing, she was immediately amazed by her appearance and temperament.

She finally understood why Qin Chuan loved her so much.

"I've heard that Miss Shi Yao's disguise skills are unparalleled in the world. Seeing it today, I can see that her reputation is well-deserved."

The Empress was also secretly amazed by the natural beauty of this scoundrel, Tianyouxing.

Even she never imagined that the old woman who appeared as Meng Po back then was actually a stunningly beautiful woman.

Compared to those two young girls, Chi Meng and Lu Linxuan, Shi Yao might be her real rival.

The Empress and Shi Yao stared at each other, their gazes meeting like lightning in mid-air.

The two were like two extremely beautiful flowers, vying for attention.

"The Witch King has traveled thousands of miles from the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons to the Central Plains; we must not neglect him."

Seeing that they were about to clash, Qin Chuan quickly stepped in to mediate.

We're all family, there's nothing to argue about.

If you really want to vent your anger, why not teach that bastard Chi Li a lesson for him?

The Empress and Shi Yao understood the implication in his words. After entering the Hidden Weapon Pavilion, they simultaneously began to engage in Yin-Yang practices with Chi Li.

"Judging from this old man's attire, could he be the Gu King of the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave?"

The Empress knew that Chi Li was the Witch King, but she insisted that he was the King of Gu.

“I heard that the Gu King is in his prime, but this one is clearly not.”

Shi Yao appeared to be answering the Empress's questions, but in reality, she was subtly mocking Chi Li for aging prematurely by practicing poison techniques.

The two women, speaking in unison, made Chi Li's already dark face turn even more ashen.

Finally, even Meiguo, the baby in the Empress's arms, bristled and howled at Chili.

"Good cat, you can have plenty of apples when we get back."

Qin Chuan laughed and reached out to touch Mei Guo.

His gaze fell on a bloated poison master behind Chi Li.

Facing Qin Chuan's gaze, the poison master trembled slightly, his remaining left hand clenching tightly.

Qin Chuan naturally knew that he was Li Siyuan, that big-eared scoundrel, but he didn't expose him.

"Gentlemen, you have come from afar. I apologize for not being able to greet you properly."

Yuan Tiangang's deep, hoarse voice rang out.

The next moment, he appeared before everyone.

Apart from Qin Chuan, no one else could see how he appeared.

"Meng Po of the Xuanming Sect."

"Witch King of Ten Thousand Poison Cave."

Shi Yao and Chi Li immediately bowed and paid their respects to Yuan Tiangang:

"Greetings, Commander-in-Chief."

"The disciple has met the teacher."

Qin Chuan then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, performing the rites of a disciple.

"I am carrying Meiguo and it is inconvenient for me to perform the ceremony. You two will act on my behalf."

The Empress even had Dorje Drakpa and Virupaksa perform the salutations on her behalf.

She naturally had no desire to worship Yuan Tiangang, that old codger who schemed against her own brother and harbored murderous intentions towards Qin Chuan.

Yuan Tiangang merely laughed a few times, seemingly unconcerned.

After laughing, he spoke calmly:

"The world is in turmoil, and the people are suffering greatly from chaos and turmoil. You are all powerful figures in your respective regions. I need your help to stop the fighting, restore order, and return to the banner of the Tang Dynasty to save the world and its people! What do you all think?"

"The Xuanming Sect obeys only the Commander-in-Chief's orders."

"The Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons is willing to lend a helping hand to the Commander-in-Chief."

After Shi Yao and Chi Li expressed their opinions one after another, Yuan Tiangang's gaze fell on the Empress.

"In this world today, only King Qi uses the reign title of the Great Tang Dynasty, and only Qi Kingdom follows the official calendar of the Great Tang Dynasty. There is no doubt about the position of the Bad Commander towards Qi Kingdom."

The Empress remained calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant.

“We in Shanxi also use the reign title of the Tang Dynasty and follow the official calendar of the Tang Dynasty! But the commander-in-chief does not treat me, Li Keyong, as one of his own.”

A powerful and resonant voice suddenly rang out.

Li Keyong drove his wheelchair into the Hidden Military Pavilion.

Behind him followed a large group of people from the Tongwen Academy.

There were Bal and Bago, who had once escaped from Qin Chuan, the Shang organization led by Li Cunren, and a young man who looked like a weak scholar.

Qin Chuan couldn't help but take another look at the young man, because he was Li Cunli, the sixth of the Thirteen Protectors, whose skill was enough to reach the Great Heaven level.

"What makes you say that, Prince Jin?"

Yuan Tiangang stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly unaware that Li Keyong had come to avenge the murder of his son.

"My son Cunxu was assassinated and died tragically in Bianzhou."

Li Keyong's gaze lingered between Yuan Tiangang and Qin Chuan, and he said in a resentful voice:

"I am unwilling to accept this!"

"Your son died on the battlefield, a worthy death. What does it have to do with me?"

Yuan Tiangang sneered.

According to his plan, Li Cunxu's death was not going to be so pleasant.

In this respect, Li Keyong should thank Qin Chuan.

"General, your harshness shows a lack of respect for your ally, isn't it?"

Li Keyong nearly crushed the handle of his wheelchair, gritting his teeth, his usual calm and collected demeanor completely gone.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiangang burst into laughter, coldly uttering domineering words:

"In my eyes, there are no allies!"

Chapter 83 The Death of the Prince of Jin!

"Li Keyong, your ambitions are too great! Keeping you around will only get you in the way!"

Yuan Tiangang snorted coldly and finally made his first move in front of the world.

He moved swiftly and struck Li Keyong with a powerful palm!

Li Ke pressed down on the shoulders of two Tongwenguan disciples beside him and flung them toward Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang's vision was suddenly obstructed. After he swatted away the two disciples, he discovered that Li Keyong had disappeared from his wheelchair.

Apart from Qin Chuan, everyone else was shocked and horrified.

They couldn't even figure out how Li Keyong disappeared.

Yuan Tiangang suddenly turned around and saw Li Keyong descending from the sky, pouncing on him at lightning speed like a lion.

The two exchanged blows, their true energy clashing, and the scattered force shook the entire Hidden Weapon Pavilion.

You've been faking your lameness the whole time!

Yuan Tiangang grunted and staggered back, seemingly at a disadvantage in the fight.

Li Keyong pressed his advantage, turning his palm into a claw and viciously grabbing at Yuan Tiangang's head.

Yuan Tiangang slightly tilted his head, narrowly avoiding the claw.

But the mask on his face was torn off, revealing his horribly disfigured face.

Shi Yao exclaimed in surprise.

Chi Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Empress winked at Qin Chuan.

She discovered that Yuan Tiangang wasn't as formidable as she had imagined.

Qin Chuan shook his head at her.

That old codger Yuan Tiangang was deliberately feigning weakness to test the others.

Li Keyong was nothing more than a pawn in his game, pitifully unaware of it.

"The world is like a chessboard, and everyone is a pawn! Yuan Tiangang, it's not certain who is using whom."

Li Keyong grew more and more confident as the battle progressed, and his fear of Yuan Tiangang vanished.

Yuan Tiangang's face twisted into a ferocious and terrifying smile.

The two men flashed simultaneously, their four palms clashing as they once again clashed in internal energy.

"Looking across the world, Li Keyong, you are the first to be able to hold your own against my Heavenly Gang Technique!"

Yuan Tiangang's tone remained calm, without a trace of surprise.
