A hundred miles away from the Immortal Sun Sect, on the official road, a large army was moving under the cover of the night.
At the front, back, and back of the team were each guarded by a hundred adepts of decent strength.
In the middle of the army, Liu Jing sat in his dragon carriage with his eyes closed. Wu Daoling sat below him, reporting what happened in the Immortal Sun Sect.
"You said Li Mo is a high level Martial Emperor?
The kid must've had a fortuitous encounter in the past two years. "
Liu Jing spoke leisurely, but didn't care.
"Yeah!
Your Majesty, that Li Mo is too strong. The high level Martial Emperor we worked so hard to recruit couldn't even take one move from him.
Although Li Mo said he wouldn't make an enemy out of us.
But the Immortal Sun Sect's influence has spread all over Yuhua State. If we don't do something soon, we'll be out of control! "
Wu Daoling expressed his worry with a worried expression.
"So what?
In two years, the Immortal Sun Sect has grown so fast. Do you think we're any worse than them?
As long as you can stop their Martial Sovereign, so what if Li Mo is a high level Martial Emperor? I refuse to believe he can take on two opponents of the same level at once! "
After saying that, Liu Jing abruptly opened his eyes and a glint of hatred flashed across them.
His compromise back then was to protect his throne. He endured for two years, developing his power in secret, all for the day he could wipe away his shame. But now the arrow was nocked on the bow.
"Your Majesty, do you think we should discuss this further?"
Wu Daoling was in a difficult position. He wasn't sure he could go against Bai Yichen.
They were both Martial Sovereigns, but the difference in power wasn't small.
"What?
Are you afraid, Grand Tutor?
Don't forget how my Imperial Father treated the Wu Family back then.
Now that the clan is in trouble, are you going to sit back and do nothing? "
Liu Jing glared at Wu Daoling.
"Your Majesty!
That's not what I meant.
The Retired Emperor's kindness to our clan is as heavy as a mountain. I will never forget it.
But I fear this trip will be dangerous for Your Majesty. "
"Don't worry about me, Grand Tutor. Just do what you must."
Liu Jing closed his eyes again and ignored Wu Daoling.
"Sigh!
He really didn't know if this decision was right or wrong.
Why is Li Mo back now? "
Wu Daoling sighed and shook his head helplessly.
…
On the second day, Liu Jing's group arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Immortal Sun Sect was located.
After meeting up with the cultivators from before, they prepared to attack the Celestial Sun Sect.
"Li Mo!
Long time no see, you look good! "
Liu Jing walked out of the carriage and saw Li Mo on the slope.
"Haha … Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty.
But I see that you are very energetic!
May I know why Your Majesty has come to visit my Celestial Sun Sect today? "
"Humph!
'Li Mo, how can a smart man like you not know why I came?'
This Emperor will not beat around the bush today. As long as you disband the Immortal Sun Sect now and swear loyalty to me, wouldn't a lifetime of glory, splendor, wealth, and rank be even better! "
"Oh!
So His Majesty came here to summon me.
But I'm used to being free and unrestrained, and I like this kind of unrestrained life.
I'm not even interested in being an official! "
Liu Jing narrowed his eyes when he heard that, and his breathing became heavier.
"Li Mo, you say the sect's purpose is to unite the continent's cultivators against the enemy.
Isn't it the same for the imperial court?
Isn't it the same for you to pledge allegiance to the court and serve me?
"Ha-ha … if it's the same, why should I help you?
How about this, you bring your entire royal family to the Celestial Sun Sect.
How about I give you an outer elder position? "
Li Mo's words infuriated Liu Jing.
"How dare you!
Are you openly challenging my draconic prestige? "
"Liu Jing, don't put on that emperor's airs.
Didn't you say you would protect the Immortal Sun Sect for a hundred years if I helped you secure the throne?
How come you're showing your fox tail in just two years?
You reneging on your words, I really wonder how you climbed to the throne in the first place! "
"Li Mo!
You … "
Li Mo's words made Liu Jing's face ashen. He couldn't say a word.
"How dare you, Li Mo! Don't be so arrogant to speak to His Majesty.
Let this old man teach you how to behave! "
Wu Daoling roared and pounced on Li Mo.
"Humph!
I, Bai Yichen, am here. Since when did you, Wu Daoling, have the right to show off? "
With a shout, a transparent barrier blocked Wu Daoling's attack.
A five-colored light flashed and a white Bai Yichen appeared next to Li Mo.
Li Mo knew Wu Daoling's power. He only dared to provoke Liu Jing because Bai Yichen was protecting him from the shadows.
"Ancestor, I leave this old geezer to you.
I'll take care of the rest! "
Li Mo chuckled and leaped.
A golden light flashed and the Dragonscale Sword was in his hand.
"Azure Dragon Sword Art!"
With a shout, the Dragonscale Sword turned into a million sword images.
They flew at the imperial army on the ground!
Wu Daoling saw that the situation was bad and wanted to go back to help, but Bai Yichen's figure was already in front of him.
"Wu Daoling, I am your opponent.
It's best we don't get involved in a fight between juniors! "
"You …"
Wu Daoling had no choice but to focus on Bai Yichen.
He was weaker than him to begin with. If he got distracted, he wouldn't have a chance to live!
Swish …
The rain of swords didn't attack the mortal soldiers.
Under Li Mo's control, they went for the martial cultivators.
"Ah …"
Liu Jing's camp screamed. More than half of the two hundred cultivators he brought and the dozens from before were dead.
"Damn it, what are you waiting for if you old farts don't come out now!"
When Liu Jing saw such a situation, he couldn't care less about his image anymore. He shouted at the people behind him.
"Eh?
There are reinforcements! "
Just as Liu Jing finished speaking, Li Mo sensed several powerful spiritual qi fluctuations coming his way.
"No one can save you today!
Liu Jing, since you don't want to be an emperor, I will fulfill your wish. "
As he spoke, the Dragonscale Scarlet Sword emitted a scorching flame mixed with the power of lightning, shooting towards the panicking Liu Jing!
"Ah!
Save me! "
