March 7, the fourth year of Qianyuan.

This is a day that history cannot ignore.

The Liyang Dynasty held a ceremony to coronate the new emperor. Prince Zhao Kai succeeded to the throne. The first thing he did was to abolish the twelve imperial edicts issued three days ago, including the so-called Southern King and Northern King.

The King of Yi Zi Bing Xiang can be seen as sharing the world with the emperor, and the new emperor obviously has no intention of taking over the mess left by the previous emperor.

The second imperial edict conferred the title of Duke of Han on the eunuch Han Shengxuan, placing him in charge of the Beijing Camp, the eight imperial guards, and the Praetorian Guards. The East Camp was ordered to return immediately and no longer support Beiliang.

All officials advised against it, and the Prime Minister Zhang Julu wrote a letter threatening his death.

However, the new emperor, who had been living in exile since childhood, did not care about public opinion at all. He directly ordered the execution of Zhang Julu and the confiscation of his property and the extermination of his clan. According to the arrangement of the previous emperor, this prime minister was in full charge of government affairs, and also served as the Minister of Revenue and led the imperial guards. He held great power in the military, politics and finance, which was a huge taboo.

The capital city of Tai'an was subjected to a bloody purge overnight, and the three princes fled overnight to establish their fiefdoms in various places.

At the same time, news of the great defeat in the Northwest came out.

General Helian Jiang of Beimang beheaded the former emperor of Liyang, destroyed the main force leaving the city, and took over Hutou City.

When the head of the previous emperor was delivered to the imperial tent, the empress was overjoyed. She appointed Helian Jiang as the general and allocated 70,000 troops to his disposal, requiring him to defend the Hutou city area to the death.

The gate to Liangzhou had been opened, the inherent geographical advantage had been lost, and the war situation deteriorated rapidly.

As for Emperor Li Yang, he was nicknamed "Sending Death Thousands of Miles Away", which caused the collapse of the most powerful city in the northwest and led to his being spurned by 300,000 soldiers of Beiliang.

In Jiangnan, General Gu Jiantang captured the Prince of Jing'an and the little princess of Dongyue, and after executing them both, he intensified his efforts to hunt down the rebels.

The Emperor of Yan of Southern Tang and the Empress of Western Chu signed an alliance, and the two sides jointly attacked the Yuyang Defense Line, and the war broke out again.

Elderly people from all over the country often lament that the chaotic Spring and Autumn Period has reappeared.

……

Tai'an Capital.

A team of Tiger Guards broke into the mansion. The captain drew his sword and killed the guard who dared to resist. He raised his hand and dozens of armored soldiers rushed forward and dragged a noble Huangmenlang out of the house.

"How dare you kill me, you man!" The old eunuch was furious. In the time of the previous emperor, people like them were extremely noble and everyone in the officialdom gave them some face.

"Do you still think that now is the past?"

The captain sneered and stabbed the man in the back with his knife.

"If you dare to question your majesty's decision, you deserve to die. Let's go to the next one."

At the same time, no less than a hundred troops were roaming around the capital, the doors and windows of every household were closed, the 70,000 troops from the West Camp had already entered the city, and the once high and mighty nobles were reduced to dust.

On the palace wall, the new emperor looked into the distance. The feeling of freedom and absence of taboos was truly intoxicating.

"Master Han, if we want to kill the number one in the world, how many soldiers and horses do we need, and what are the chances of winning?"

Han Shengxuan was startled and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, please be cautious. Unless the King of Ji is willing to fight to the death, he can leave at any time. The only way is to let the ancestor take action and withstand the direct pressure. But now the fate of the country is precarious, and the old man may not be willing to sacrifice most of his power."

"I even killed Zhang Julu, so why can't I kill a warrior?" the new emperor whispered.

Han Shengxuan sighed. If he had another three to five years, he was confident that he could find a famous master to teach the other party the complete art of imperial power. But now that the other party had ascended the throne, it seemed that he would not listen to any knowledge at all.

"The fate of our nation is precarious, so I will restore our old country one by one, starting with eliminating the treacherous ministers." The new emperor's face showed the youthful vigor and vitality of a young man, and he is not even eighteen years old this year.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to follow you through life and death," said Han Shengxuan.

……

Cui's residence.

Each cleaning team tacitly maintained silence as they passed by.

"Sending you thousands of miles with one sword" means that the person inside has the ability to take people's heads thousands of miles away, and he deserves the title of the best in the world.

Moreover, unlike the Southern and Northern Kings who were abolished afterwards, perhaps because they were so close, the new emperor did not revoke the title of King Ji. The night was as cool as water, and Jiang Yuan showed the Nine Ding Tower that he had refined from the imperial palace. The foundation of this holy place of martial arts in the world has become part of the Twelve Towers of the Five Cities of Baiyujing.

One after another, martial arts classics flew out and merged with the Martial Arts Record, and the number soared to 500,000 copies.

The height of the golden body of the Great Burning Heaven Arhat reached three hundred feet, and the warrior's soul was further strengthened.

The Jiuding Tower is a hundred meters high and majestic. Due to the continuous blessing of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Masters of all generations, the number and quality of the talisman arrays are astonishing and can be used to suppress powerful enemies.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and the Nine Ding Tower dissipated. He had now achieved perfection in the Finger Mystery, and was equipped with two Great Vajra and one Great Finger Mystery. There was basically no opponent worthy of a head-on fight in the world.

As long as he gets rid of the bone-attaching fist energy left by Wang Xianzhi in his body, he can break through to the celestial realm at any time.

The troubled times have arrived. The five new and old vassal kings of Western Chu, Southern Tang, Jiangnan, the two Liaos, Northern Liang, Northern Mang, Liyang, and Jizhou have almost reproduced the pattern of the nine kingdoms' chaos during the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Fight for the world."

Jiang Yuan pondered for a while. His main goal was to establish an empire and then take away all the national treasures in one go. It didn't matter even if he died in this lifetime. After all, he had no children or descendants who could inherit the throne.

There is no enemy in the world anymore. From this moment on, cultivation becomes about making oneself an enemy. The three levels of celestial phenomena, earthly gods, and heavenly beings still need to be completed step by step.

Among them, breaking through the celestial phenomena requires the connection between heaven and man, which is not difficult at all. However, to break through from the celestial phenomena to become a terrestrial immortal, one needs to condense a martial courage, and the quality of the courage varies greatly, some high and some low.

In the kitchen not far away, Pei Nanwei came over with a white fungus and lotus seed soup. He walked very slowly because he couldn't see his toes because he lowered his head.

"Here, just two bowls, one for each of us."

Jiang Yuan took the white bowl and said, "We will leave for Jizhou tomorrow."

"Then let me take a day off tonight so as not to delay the trip."

Pei Nanwei tied up her long hair and checked the sachet she carried with her. A hint of coquettishness appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuan frowned, raised his palm to catch a piece of moonlight, and the blurry scene gradually became clear.

A Taoist priest in white was chasing a Confucian scholar in green. The two of them, one chasing and one fleeing, had already entered the territory of Yinshan.

To observe the mountains and rivers, it is required that there be sufficient causal relationships between the observer and the corresponding mountains and rivers. Recently, "Ten Games of Yinshan" has been printed in tens of thousands of copies, becoming popular all over the world and becoming a favorite of chess players.

Strands of golden threads were constantly entwined in Jiang Yuan's palm, and he cut off one sleeve. The two threads combined to form a sword that soared into the sky, like a meteor streaking through the night sky, heading south.

……

Yinshan, thousands of miles away.

Cui Nan suddenly stopped running, turned around and opened his folding fan. Twelve miniature swords and layers of mountain and water restrictions combined to form a large formation.

The Taoist in white swept out his sleeves, a white light flashed, and the formation suddenly became shaky.

"You little bug, you're not even at the second level, what's the point of making such a scene?" Zhao Huangchao said angrily. Such a long chase would wear out the patience of even a master who cultivated his character.

The folding fan in Cui Nan's hand shattered, and the formation collapsed.

The majestic mountain water flow impacted the enemy, forcing Zhao Huangchao to pause for a moment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for drawing your sword."

A ray of golden light came at the right time, as if cutting through the night sky and piercing straight through Zhao Huangchao's forehead. His clothes and sword exploded into pieces, and golden threads spread out, wrapping around the prey and strangling both the body and the soul.

Different from Cui Nan who always used the water transport at the root of the mountain to escape, the long pursuit had already exhausted the energy in Zhao Huangchao's body. Even if his killing power was still at its peak, his body defense inevitably became shallow. People from the three religions were inherently weaker than warriors, and a series of accidents directly destroyed the life of the old prince.

A crow landed on the ground, raised its wings and pointed at the twelve miniature swords. Of course, it had to be paid for its actions.

Cui Nan had no objection, since he was not a swordsman anyway.
