When Great Cultivators fought, they would usually set an enchantment in advance, in case of hurting the innocent or being seen by ordinary people, which would affect the order of the human world.
The cool night breeze swept over the roof, the tiles, and Li Ye's clothes and hair. Then, it slipped away from the courtyard door. The leaves rustled, and the sound of the gong was heard from afar. Except for the Inspector General's Manor, this ancient city was still moving on the original track tonight.
Not many people died tonight, but it was very bloody because the dead people were very powerful and they died in a cruel way.
It was very cold in the courtyard.
The smell of blood came to Li Ye's nose, making him frown.
He glanced at Li Keyong, who was lying on the bluestone floor, and suddenly lacked interest. He stood up, rolled his sleeves, flew up, and left this absurd place.
Maybe, Li Cunxiao was destined to
The administrative regions of the Tang Empire were divided into four levels of prefectures, counties, towns, and villages. The terrain in the east of Mount Tai was generally flat. Qing Prefecture was the capital of Pinglu, and there was fertile land. There were large areas of farmland with crisscross footpaths outside Qing Prefecture. The cottages in each town and village were very dense.People started work at sunrise and rested at sunset. There was always a busy scene of farming here in recent years. The farmers went out and went home with their hoes. In autumn, the harvest would ensure that they would have plenty of food and clothing for the whole year.But now, the farmland outside Qing Prefecture was completely destroyed. The well-growing crops were trampled and destroyed, turning into mud. They were no different from weeds. There was no one in the cottages where the fire was burning, and everyone fled to the city for shelter.Within a rad
Chang'an City.The city had long been under martial law, the shops in the east and west cities were basically closed, and there were few pedestrians on the streets. As the patrolling guards went past, you could hear the rings on their armor clanging, which signified clearly the extreme times.The mountains were full of wind and rain. Although the war had not yet broken out, the dark clouds had already shrouded the city. Even the blazing sun seemed to be mixed with the chill that could make people feel cold.Martial law did not just apply to the streets, but even the Imperial Palace.Many rarely seen grand masters had all revealed themselves at this moment. They would now appear inside and outside of the palace walls from time to time. With the current situation, no one could know whether the opponent would send Great Cultivators to assassinate. After all, the emperor's safety was very important.At the end of Vermilion
The first rays of the morning sun spilled over the ancient city of Taiyuan, and the cold left by the long night had not yet dissipated, but the rows of neighborhoods was awake. People opened their doors and walked into the courtyard. The breakfast carts in the streets and alleys were sporadically steaming, gathering groups of early customers.Li Ye, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes on the low couch and saw the golden sunlight seeping through the windowsill. As the sun rays spread on the carpet, a smile appeared on his face.Hedong had settled down for some time now, and the Pinglu Army had already stationed troops in the four prefectures of Daizhou, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, and Weizhou. They were now steadily progressing with the follow-up matters. As Li Ye had totally taken control over Hedong, he now had absolute military and political power over these eleven vassal states.What followed was the Luck of the people who gathered here fro
Pinglu was under Zhu Wen's attack, and Zhu Wen had the support of the Taoist sect. So Pinglu was in a dire situation. Once Pinglu was lost, not only would Li Ye's strength be greatly damaged, his reputation would also take a big hit. After all, Li Ye had not suffered such a defeat since his debut.And with Zhu Wen's rise in power, Li Ye's followers would have to rethink their future and consider turning their backs on him.But that was for the future to think about. At present, Kang Chengqian and others just couldn't refuse Li Ye. Plus, If Zhu Wen really replaced Li Ye and became the rightful ruler of the Central Plains and the North, wouldn't they have to bow at his feet?So there was no difference between lending their loyalty to Zhu Wen and to Li Ye.In reality, Kang Chengqian and others knew that even if Li Ye lost Pinglu, he still had the vassal states of Hedong and Weibo. So Li Ye's power was still great, coupled with his pro
A corner of the Immortal Court was covered by a vast ocean of clouds. There were a mountain spring and a small pavilion by the pool.Two immortals were playing chess in the pavilion. Their movements were calm and soothing, and each stroke was full of meaning. It was as though they were painting a landscape picture, giving off a pleasing look.After a long time, the game ended. The Immortal Emperor in royal robes threw the pieces back in the chess box. He then smiled at Li Changgeng and said, "Your skills have gone backwards. The last time you played against me, you didn't lose so fast."Li Changgeng replied sincerely, "Your Majesty, you've just advanced too much in your chess skills. So it's logical that I lost so easily."The Immortal Emperor declined to comment. He seemed to be in a good mood today. He had been joyous the whole day. He did not have the sense of superiority like in the Zixiao Palace. Only ministers close to the Im
The south was already quite hot but the north was relatively cooler. The lush foliage of the trees let everyone know summer had come. In the second courtyard of the Xuzhou Zhongwu commissioner's manor were two old locust trees, the shade of which had cast a large shadow on the granite pavement.At this moment a young man dressed as a scholar was standing in the shade. He raised his hands and looked up at the star-like sunlight in the gaps between the leaves. His eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were thinking about something.He had an average build to go with an average-looking face. His looks couldn't be further from the word 'handsome'. The ladies on the streets and the female Jianghu cultivators would not even take a second look at him.But he was well-dressed and neatly trimmed. Standing there, he not only revealed the temperament of a scholar but also a sense of maturity that was much older than his actual age.From time to ti
Suddenly Li Ye's tone turned very sensuous, which Wu Gou did not expect. But he didn't panic from shock. Since he dared to take the initiative to request a mission to Hedong, he naturally had some rhetoric. He was confident that he could persuade Li Ye.He scrupulously said, "The Zhongwu army does not dare to disobey the Prince An's orders to send troops. However, ambassador Qin is a loyal minister. He only wants to serve his country in troubled times. If the Prince An can overlook his mistakes and treats ambassador Qin kindly, then he is willing to die for the country. But if ambassador Qin is worried about being reprimanded by the Prince An in the future... I'm afraid that when the Taoist sect immortals arrive in Zhongwu, ambassador Qin will not be able to resist."What he meant was to ask a change of attitude from Li Ye. After all, they were doing things for Li Ye. If Li Ye pushed Qin Zongquan, then he might lend his allegiance to Zhu Wen.L
Liu Zhixing, Zhao Weihuang and others, along with their many disciples had sneaked into Chengde. They thought that no one knew of their presence in Chengde, but the Black Office had been tracking them all along. And as such, when Li Ye got here, he did not give Wang Jingchong the appropriate courtesy.Since Li Ye was determined about the fact that Wang Jingchong did not have any leverage to negotiate with him. Then the only left waiting for him was death. And from that perspective, the way Li Ye treated Wu Gou and Qin Zongquan was already "courteous" enough.Suddenly stones and pieces of wood exploded out from the ruins and a figure in ghostly white robes flew out from amid the smoke and dust. He was also carrying a young Taoist in blood-stained robes who was dripping blood. His breathing was weak like a dying man.It was the old Taoist who with the horsetail whisk.His elegant immortal like temperament had disappeared. Now his fac
