Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Li Moxuan stepped onto the last step and arrived in front of the dragon throne that had been prepared in advance. He turned around, looked down at the crowd below, and the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword appeared in his hand.

He raised his sword to the sky, and the world changed color. A faint dragon shadow flashed across the sky, and the wind around him sounded like the Qin King's battle music...

"I, the Emperor, inherit the bloodline of the Li family and carry on the legacy of Emperor Taizong, have swept away the six directions and unified the eight wastelands. Today I ascend the throne, and the world belongs to the Li Tang dynasty!"

As his words fell, the spirit mediums and soldiers below all knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, a golden light appeared, and Li Shimin in his undead form appeared beside Li Moxuan, looking down with a smile on his face.

With his appearance, the guardian spirits of Qin Wang Gong, Yuchi Lietang, Yuan Xichen, Li Laoyi, and Li Yijun appeared.

Li Moxuan's nine guardian spirits also appeared at the bottom of the steps, kneeling on one knee.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Alright, I'm in a good mood today, no need for such formalities!"

Li Shimin couldn't suppress the urge to smile, and at his prompting, Li Moxuan spoke up: "Everyone, please get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone then stood up, and the guardian spirits returned to their respective hosts' bodies...

Li Shimin then began his speech with a smile, "I never imagined that a thousand years later, the world would once again belong to the Li Tang dynasty..."

He patted Li Moxuan on the shoulder beside him, "I am very pleased to have such an outstanding junior, and I can finally rest assured to hand over the Tang Dynasty to him!"

"Of course, besides this, there's another thing: this kid finally has a successor..."

Li Moxuan's face darkened slightly. Why did that sentence sound so strange?

At this moment, Yan Qiaoqiao led a group of Zhaowu Guards to clear the way, followed by brides dressed in pure white wedding gowns...

Walking at the front was Bai Shui'er, and next to her was Bei Luoshimen, who was wearing a suit and looked uncomfortable. Among them, only Bai Shui'er's father was still alive.

Behind Bai Shui'er, in order, were Diao Lingyun, Yang Qianhong, Fan Tianyin, Sun Zhantian, Lü Xiangong, Xihe, Muli, and Tushan Jiu'er...

"That's the boss lady, and Tiger too?!"

"No, I can't accept that!"

"Ah ah ah..."

"..."

Lu Tianyou, who was maintaining order at the scene, came over when he heard the commotion. "Take these three guys away and lock them up for a day!"

"Yes!"

Several Xuanjia soldiers lifted them up, and they resisted fiercely, shouting, "Let me go, An Lushan, come out and have some fun!"

"Shi Siming, come out quickly and shatter them!"

"Zhu Wen, please save me!"

The guardian spirits of the three were so angry they were about to curse. They hadn't wanted the three of them to get involved in this mess and wanted them to focus on developing their abilities, but the three insisted on coming...

Now they want them to show themselves? Don't they even know who's standing in front of the dragon throne and speaking? That's none other than the Heavenly Khan, Li Shimin!

If he were still alive, the three of them wouldn't even have dared to entertain the thought of rebellion...

It was too late for them to run away. The Xuanjia soldiers around them had their eyes gleaming red. This was a great opportunity to impress Emperor Taizong!

"You three..."

Qin Wang Gong and Yuchi Lietang appeared behind the three of them with cruel smiles on their faces. When they saw Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, whose eyes were glowing red, the three of them swallowed hard.

"Xu Chu, ptooey... An Lushan, come out and have some fun!"

"Shi Siming, shatter them!"

“Zhu…”

In no time at all, the three young talents were knocked unconscious. The Xuanjia Army soldiers put spirit-locking handcuffs on them and escorted them towards the direction of Zhenyu Tianyuan.

What was supposed to be a one-day detention has now been turned into a life sentence...

"Lu Tianyou, you bastard, give me back Xiaorou..."

Hearing the commotion behind him, Lu Tianyou sighed. "Boss, you've really ruined my life. When are you going to clear my name?"

Chapter 303: Li Shimin's Gift

After dealing with these three extraordinary individuals, King Qin Gong and Yuchi Lietang returned to their positions and quietly awaited the end of the ceremony.

Bei Luoshimen led Bai Shui'er up the steps and came step by step to Li Moxuan. Feeling the imperial aura emanating from Li Shimin, he felt inexplicably nervous.

However, with so many people watching, he couldn't let Shui'er down. He coughed lightly and his tone became serious: "Kid, I'm entrusting Shui'er to you!"

"But let me make this clear: if you dare to wrong her, I won't let you off the hook!"

"Do not worry!"

Li Shimin, standing next to Li Moxuan, laughed heartily, "You don't need to tell me, if this kid really dares to do that, I won't let him off!"

After all, Bai Shui'er was the girl who had been with Li Moxuan the longest, always silently supporting him, which reminded Li Shimin of Empress Zhangsun, who had also silently supported him.

With Li Shimin's assurance, Bei Luoshimen was finally relieved. He sighed, reluctantly handed Bai Shui'er over to Li Moxuan, and walked off the stage alone.

Although he knew it was just a formality, Bei Luoshimen couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat as he recalled the wonderful memories he had shared with Bai Shuier after her birth, and he wiped his eyes...

"Bei Luo, are you crying?"

Cao Yanbing, standing there, spoke without any sense of the pain, "This is just a formality, is it really necessary?"

Beiluo Shimen rubbed his moist eyes, unusually not putting on a brave face, and took a deep breath, "If you have the chance to experience it yourself, you'll understand this feeling!"

Cao Yanbing's face darkened. Oh no, he'd been so caught up in his sharp tongue that he'd forgotten about that…

"Is your dad alright?"

Seeing Bei Luoshimen's somewhat dejected appearance, Li Moxuan took Bai Shui'er's hand and asked.

"It's okay, I should have more free time in the future anyway, so I can spend more time with him..."

Bai Shui'er sighed inwardly. She knew what it felt like to be without family, so she could understand her father...

She released Li Moxuan's hand and tried to bow to Li Shimin beside her, "Emperor Taizong..."

Li Shimin quickly stopped her, saying, "You are pregnant, there's no need for such formalities!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Shui'er hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Moxuan, and only withdrew her movement after seeing Li Moxuan nod. "Thank you, Emperor Taizong..."

"Hmm, not bad..."

Li Shimin took out an exquisite, deep purple, round jade pendant. One side of the pendant was engraved with the Ziwei Enclosure star map, with the Big Dipper cleverly transformed into seven hidden starlight points embedded in the star map.

On the other side, amidst the swirling auspicious cloud patterns, is engraved the silhouette of a goddess seated on a cloud, adorned with cloud-shaped shoulders and magnificent robes, adorned with dangling pearls, her countenance dignified and solemn.

"Here, take this..."

Bai Shui'er took the jade pendant from Li Shimin, a little curious, "Emperor Taizong, what is this?"

"Try infusing your spiritual power into this gift for you juniors!"

Bai Shui'er infused her spiritual power into the jade pendant as he instructed, and the pendant immediately emitted a dazzling purple-gold light.

A young fire phoenix flew out of the jade pendant, and in an instant its body became enormous, soaring in the sky.

The scorching flames emanating from the fire phoenix forced everyone below to use their spiritual power to resist them. Only Bai Shui'er not only didn't feel the heat, but also felt a bit of warmth.

Li Shimin smiled faintly, "I have nothing much to give you, so I'll just give you this fire phoenix as your mount! You can use it to get around wherever you want..."

"This is... a divine beast of the Boundless level?"

Li Moxuan was stunned when he sensed the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the fire phoenix. Wait, is it really that generous? He just casually gave away a divine beast of the Boundless level as a mount?

Noticing Li Moxuan's surprised look, Li Shimin felt a surge of satisfaction and coughed lightly, saying, "Why are you so surprised?"

He gazed at the fire phoenix soaring in the sky, "This is only the extent of its power in the Underworld. Once it reaches the Great Thousand World, this little guy will be able to unleash its full potential!"

"Of course, this jade pendant has more uses than just that. You'll have to figure it out yourselves later!"

As they were talking, Li Shimin took out another string of jade pendants of various shapes. "Alright, let's continue! I should go back for tea now that I've delivered everything!"

"Okay, thank you, Emperor Taizong!"

Bai Shui'er put the fire phoenix back into the jade pendant and stood obediently next to Li Moxuan, while Diao Lingyun, who was right behind her, walked up to Li Moxuan...

"I can't believe it. We both have the Martial God Body, how can there be such a huge difference?"

Cao Yanbing was so envious he felt like his body was about to break apart. The ancestor could casually give away a gift that could make more than 99% of the people in the underworld as easy as those on earth.

As for my own... well, never mind, I can't be bothered to mention that old man...

"Roar--"

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed through the sky, and a ferocious beast emanating a murderous aura appeared beside Diao Lingyun, who was holding the jade pendant. Of course, it was also at the Infernal level...

Next, the remaining people all received jade pendants from Li Shimin and acquired different mythical beasts as mounts...

Among them, Yang Qianhong's is a fire qilin, Fan Tianyin's is a bi'an, Lü Xiangong's is a white tiger, Sun Zhantian's is a kui niu, Xihe's is a three-legged golden crow, and Muli's is a bai ze.

As for Tu Shan Jiu'er, she obtained the Wujian-level Chenghuang as her mount...

"White Tiger?"

When Li Moxuan saw the white tiger, he was a little surprised. "Emperor Taizong, could this be one of the Four Divine Beasts?"

What are you thinking about?

Li Shimin was speechless. "Those are the Four Symbols of Heaven, practically deities in the strictest sense. How could I possibly capture them and send them away? This is just an ordinary white tiger..."

He stretched and said, "Alright, I've delivered everything, I'll head back now!"

"and many more……"

Li Moxuan stopped Li Shimin, who was about to leave, and rubbed his hands together expectantly, "Taizong, what about mine?"

If you give them all such cool mythical beasts as mounts, shouldn't you get yourself a dragon?

He wasn't picky; any dragon that could bring day when its eyes were open and night when its eyes were closed would do. If that wasn't available, a Azure Dragon would be fine too...

"You can teleport, what do you need a mount for?"

His real purpose in giving Bai Shui'er and the others the jade pendants was to protect them from harm. As for Li Moxuan... if he really gave them to him, how could he train him?
