The Counterattack of the Villains

"Bang bang bang..."

At this moment, Liyang Palace turned into a blood-colored ocean. In addition to blood-colored petals and blood-colored light, there was also blood-colored mist.

No matter whether it is a second-grade minor grandmaster or a first-grade grand master, as long as it is touched by the bloody mandala petals, it will instantly explode into a bloody mist, without any exception.

The attack of Mandala Petals was aimed at those powerful masters, but the Suwei Imperial Army was not even qualified to be targeted.

After the petals exploded along with the target, a rich fragrance filled the palace, which was intoxicating.

Those Imperial Guards who were not directly hit by the petals lost their minds in the fragrance and started fighting among themselves.

Their pupils glowed with blood, and they desperately pointed the weapons in their hands at the people beside them.

Amidst the blood spattering, the guards fell one after another, but there was no pain in their eyes, but a strange excitement in their eyes.

The place inside the palace, where the most noble person of this dynasty lived, was filled with blood in an instant, and it was extremely tragic.

Compared with the complex and changeable but majestic attack methods of Chu Xuan, the main body of the Zhongzhou Team, the clone Chu Xuan appears even more weird and terrifying.

After all, in a sense, the ruthless emperor is not a good guy in the traditional sense. Even to people in that world, it is not an exaggeration to say he is a villain.

What is the difference between this method of devouring other people's origins and strengthening one's own body, a method of benefiting oneself at the expense of others, and the method of absorbing the power of the Iron Dan Shenhou?

Choosing Chu Xuan, the clone inherited from the ruthless emperor, naturally comes from the same line.

From the Beiming Divine Art to the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art to the Immortal Heaven Art, there are countless indigenous masters in the world of reincarnation who have become the nutrients for him to become stronger.

…

On the top of a palace more than a hundred feet away, a young eunuch looked at the bloody scene over there, with deep fear in his eyes.

Behind him, there was an old eunuch with gray hair standing, his face full of fear.

These methods are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. His "finger snapping to cut off immortality" is useless when faced with such a move.

Even if it's really a fart, it can still disgust the other person with its stench.

But in front of this person, I'm afraid that I won't even be able to fart, and I will turn into ashes.

After a long time, the young eunuch slowly said: "Han Shengxuan, are you sure you just want to change the emperor this time?"

The white-haired old eunuch is actually the number one expert in the palace, Han Diao Si, the human cat who is good at killing celestial phenomena with his fingertips.

Han Shengxuan is his real name, and Diao Si is the nickname of the eunuch.

Han Shengxuan said respectfully: "I dare not hide it from our ancestors. It is indeed the case. Your Majesty has always regarded Beiliang as a serious concern. You can say that you are right, or you can say that you are wrong."

"Beiliang has never had any objections, but His Majesty's endless targeting has made Beiliang lose his patience."

"This time Beiliang asked these three to take action and support the sixth prince to ascend the throne. I have no other intention. I just want to change an emperor who is not hostile to Beiliang."

The young eunuch is the ancestor of Diao Temple who feeds on Li Yang's luck and is of the same age as his country. No one knows his name. They only know that his surname is Chen.

When Chen Diao Si heard this, he slightly raised his head and looked at the sky, and said solemnly: "This turbulence of fate is not like the change of imperial power in Liyang Dynasty."

Han Diao Si looked startled and asked, "What does the ancestor mean that they might subvert Li Yang?"

Chen Diaosi shook his head and said: "That's not the case. Xi Chu is just lingering. Cao Changqing doesn't have much luck, and the man and the woman don't have any luck at all."

"They pose no fundamental threat to Liyang. They probably just want to kill the emperor to vent their anger and fulfill their agreement with Beiliang. However... I can't explain why."

"Liyang's destiny, which was originally very stable, is actually in turmoil. Something must have happened somewhere in this world that could shake Liyang's society, but we don't know about it."

Han Diao Si guessed: "Could it be related to the masters who have suddenly appeared in all parts of the world recently?"

Chen Diaosi nodded and said: "It's possible. Anyway, remember this sentence, I don't care who becomes the emperor. As long as he has the blood of the Zhao family, as long as this dynasty is still called Liyang, you can do whatever you want."

"But if anyone wants to overthrow Liyang, I will be the first to refuse, ancestor. You go ahead and monitor the world for your new emperor, and don't let anything go wrong with Liyang."

Han Diao Si bowed and responded: "Yes, I will take my leave."

…

All the masters in the palace were killed, and the Imperial Guards were killing each other again. No one came to stop Chu Xuan and the others, and they continued to the palace as if there was no one around.

Just as they were passing through a corridor, a calm voice suddenly came from a nearby palace: "The emperor is in the Kunning Hall at the moment. You three can go directly."

"Please show mercy to the other people in the palace. After all, they still have to serve the new emperor."

Chu Xuan said expressionlessly: "As long as you don't hit him, you won't die."

"Thank you."

The voices in the palace fell silent, and the three of them, led by Cao Changqing, went straight to Kunning Palace.

That was the queen's residence, and it was just the right place for the two of them to cook together.

Back then, the Emperor of Western Chu and the Queen went to Huangquan together. Li Yang should have done this. Zhao Zhi wanted to become the Queen Mother, but it was impossible.

…

Cao Changqing entered the Liyang Palace for the fourth time, and with the help of mysterious masters, he slaughtered three thousand imperial guards and more than seven hundred imperial masters.

Then he took the heads of Liyang Emperor Zhao Chun and Queen Zhao Zhi and left with a smile.

This news quickly spread all over the world, and for a while, the entire Liyang Dynasty was detonated.

But what makes everyone in the world feel strange is that the top master in Ouchi who blocked Cao Changqing three times, Han Diao Si, who is good at killing celestial phenomena with his fingertips, is inexplicably absent this time.

However, people soon came back to their senses.

Because on the day after Zhao Chun and Zhao Zhi were assassinated, the sixth prince Zhao Kai, who had never been taken seriously by the court and was rumored to be Zhao Chun's illegitimate son, urgently ascended the throne with the support of hundreds of officials to stabilize the chaos.

The Liyang situation.

When Zhao Kai ascended the throne, Han Diao Si, who was absent from Cao Changqing's assassination, appeared beside him.

Standing next to him at the same time was Yang Taisui, the imperial master of the two dynasties named Mercy Monk, who was actually a poisonous master of Legalism.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the fishiness in this almost immediately, but they dare not discuss it.

Ordinary people don't know the horror of the human-cat Han Diao Temple, so how can they, the "discerning people", not know it?

Ever since Zhao Kai passed away and reached an agreement with Zheng Zha, Han Diao Si and Yang Tai Sui had been paving the way for him.

Now that the incident broke out, they were well prepared and did not encounter any obstacles and easily helped Zhao Kai to his position.

As a result, his five elder brothers, the five princes of Liyang Dynasty, and the vassal kings from all over the country naturally refused to do it.

The five princes, like all the vassal kings, each have their own fiefs and armies.

However, just as they were preparing to raise troops and rush to the capital, Xu Xiao, the king of Northern Liang, announced to the world that Northern Liang openly supported Zhao Kai's ascension to the throne. Anyone who wanted to harm Zhao Kai would have to face the 350,000 cavalry troops of Northern Liang.

As soon as this announcement came out, the vassal kings and the five princes from various places did not immediately stop their activities, but they temporarily accepted it and stopped raising troops with great fanfare.

After all, the five princes have little foundation and don't have many troops at their disposal. How can they dare to directly challenge Beiliang?

As for the eight vassal kings in Liyang, not counting the unworthy King of Qingcheng, they are seven real vassal kings.

The king of Guangling, Zhao Yi, is dead, and now the person in charge of the military power in Guangling Road is Lu Xiangsheng, the commander-in-chief of the Guangling army.

King Zhao Heng of Jing'an has long been replaced by Li Mu, and has secretly formed a nominal alliance with Beiliang, so he will not offend Beiliang's face.

The king of Jiaodong, Zhao Sui, and Xu Xiao were on good terms with each other. The king of Huainan, Zhao Ying, and the king of Langya, Zhao Ao, didn't have many troops at all. The only one who could challenge Beiliang was Zhao Bing, the king of Yanchi.

Zhao Bing and Xu Xiao cherish each other and have a tacit understanding not to send spies into each other's territory. They are as brave as Xu Xiao.

He stationed troops in the territory of the old Southern Tang Dynasty, and his troops were strong and capable, including the number one fierce general Wang Tongshan, and the number one counselor Nalan Youci who was as famous as Li Yishan, Yuan Benxi, and Beimang Taiping Order.

The Yan army has always competed with the Beiliang cavalry for the title of the best army in the world.

It can be seen that among the vassal kings, there is only one King Yanchi left who can compete with Beiliang.

However, King Yanchi also did not make any movement. This was a vassal king who had a great overall view.

Yan Chidao is located right between the old Western Shu and the old Western Chu. His most important task at the moment is to monitor the remnants of the Western Chu and prevent them from causing rebellion.

In this way, with Han Diao Temple inside, Yang Taisui's assistance, and the support of the Northern Liang Army outside, Zhao Kai sat on the seat he dreamed of without any danger.

But what everyone in the world didn't understand was that Zhang Julu, the legendary prime minister who had always regarded Beiliang as a thorn in his flesh, did not oppose Zhao Kai's ascension to the throne this time, nor did he make any judgment on Beiliang's reputation.

No one knows that Zhang Julu has been fighting with Xu Xiao all his life on the surface, but in fact he has been silently supporting Beiliang in the fight against Mang.

His greatest wish was to open a door for the common people and scholars in the world to have room for advancement, so he was feared by the emperor.

Beiliang wants to change an emperor who is not hostile to Beiliang. Why doesn't he want to change an emperor who does not discriminate against civilian scholars?

Zhao Kai came from a humble background. As an illegitimate son, he had never enjoyed the treatment of a prince. Instead, he mixed among the common people.

Therefore, he will have more empathy for common people and scholars. This is exactly what Zhang Julu considers to be the best candidate for emperor.

After the world was in turmoil for a while due to this incident, it gradually calmed down. To put it bluntly, there were no major changes in this turmoil except for the change of emperor in Liyang Dynasty.

The court should still operate as it should. After all, it has always been civil and military officials at all levels who do the work. As long as the emperor does not make random ideas and give random orders, there will be no problems in government affairs.

…

When peace returned to the world and Zhao Kai was firmly on the throne, Xu Fengnian changed his name to Xu Qi and followed a small Lingzhou gang called the "Yulong Gang" to Beimang.

Because all the gatekeepers were defeated and became puppets of the Hualong Gang, there were no longer so many messy things here.

The Yulong Gang also did not encounter the disaster in the original plot, successfully passed the Tao Ma Pass, and headed towards Yanhui Pass.

It is worth mentioning that the Yulong Gang, which played a lot of roles in the original plot, lost a key figure on the road, deputy gang leader Xiao Qiang.

This guy disappeared mysteriously. As soon as the Yulong Gang woke up, Xiao Qiang disappeared. Even Xu Fengnian didn't notice how he disappeared.

The fact is that he has died in Zhan Lan's hands.

This guy quietly broke away from the team at night and went to a certain former village alone, hoping to contact his old connections and help intercept and kill the people of the Yulong Gang.

This time, the leader of the Yulong Gang is Liu Nirong, the granddaughter of the gang leader. Naturally, those gang members are all close followers of the old gang leader Liu.

Only if Liu Nirong and this gang die, can the position of the next leader of the Yulong Gang fall to his son Xiao Qiang.

But what he didn't expect was that the mountain village in his memory had disappeared, and now there was only a large and orderly camp there.

The experienced Xiao Qiang quickly determined that this was a military camp, and it was a military camp that could accommodate tens of thousands of troops.

In fact, when he went to the cottage that was transformed into the Hualong Army military camp, he was already discovered by Zhan Lan's mental scan.

Killing him was just a thought for Zhan Lan.

The mental impact instantly shattered Xiao Qiang's spirit and destroyed his brain.

Xiao Qiang fell into the yellow sand not far outside the military camp, and was buried by Zhan Lan controlling the sand with his mind.

The Ichthyosaurus Gang searched everywhere for two days but found nothing.

In this vast desert, within an hour, all traces of walking will be covered by yellow sand.

Xiao Qiang left late last night, and more than three hours had passed by morning, so how could they find any clues.

After searching for two days, they had no choice but to continue their journey. However, they strictly arranged to keep watch during the rest of the journey.

They worked in pairs, and each group stayed vigil for an hour. As a result, no more accidents occurred, and they arrived at Yanhui Pass safely.

Due to the reminder from an elder in the team named Gongsun Yang, all members of the Yulong Gang did not dare to enter the city. Only Liu Nirong led two young men and entered the city with Xu Fengnian with a water bag.

Soon the group of people came to the only public well in Yanhuiguan.

Naturally, there cannot be only one well in Yanhuiguan. There are three wells in the Hualong Gang's territory, and this well in the city supplies the entire city.

If outsiders want to replenish drinking water, they have to pay for it.

Living in the desert, water is closely related to life. It is not an exaggeration to say that water is more expensive than oil.

When buying water at Yanhuiguan, it is not an exaggeration to say that you get one ounce of water and one ounce of oil.

After the Central Continent Team and the Demon Team mastered Yanhui Pass, they did not deliberately change this.

After all, there is a certain amount of groundwater. If it is consumed too quickly, the water output will not be able to keep up.

If it is really allowed to be used by everyone, or the price of water is reduced, I am afraid that the water output of this well will soon be exhausted, and even the locals in Yanhuiguan will have no water to use.

This well is located a little next to the center of the city gate, and there is a sunshade thatched roof where the well is located.

Next to the well squatted a thin man, holding a ladle in his hand, and a row of Hualong gang members holding swords sat under the hut next to it.

These people have one thing in common: they are not physically strong enough, so they did not become a member of the Hualong Army.

However, the swords in their hands are enough to frighten ordinary people.

As for the masters, if they are determined to cause trouble, even if they bring in strong gang members, they will not be able to control the situation.

There were also people who did not take the Hualong Gang seriously due to their underground skills.

The gang members guarding the well were easily knocked over by him, but the next moment he died suddenly and inexplicably, and no one knew what happened.

After this happened several times, everyone understood one thing. There were experts in the Hualong Gang, and they were not as weak as they appeared.
