I am the villain, plundering the destiny of the heroine.

"Boom!"

A large area of ​​scarlet blood light rose up from the ground in various parts of the Imperial Capital City and spread into the sky. They quickly connected with each other and condensed into a huge light shield that encompassed the entire Imperial Capital City and blocked out the sky and the sun.

The moment the light shield took shape, the terrifying power of the magic circle spread out, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became violent to the extreme. Li Xu and Hua Youwei both felt that their own blood was flowing out of their bodies uncontrollably under the flushing and plundering of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Emperor Yan has activated the Heaven-Sealing Absolute Earth Formation!"

It is possible that Emperor Yan did not arrange the formation properly in advance, or it is possible that the base of the Sealing Heaven and Earth Formation had just been destroyed. Li Xu felt that the speed at which his blood and essence were lost was not fast, probably only one-fifth of what it was three days ago in Jinling City.

He looked up suddenly.

While Hua Youwei was telling him the ins and outs of Emperor Yan's collusion with the major sects, Li Tianai had already breached the west gate of the Imperial Capital City. The warships were like giant beasts from the sky, flying majestically towards the direction of the distant imperial palace.

As soon as Li Xu cast his sight to the palace in the distance shrouded in blood light, he saw a golden light rising up like the sun, and soon exploded into a ball of brilliant words above the palace, accompanied by the angry and majestic order of Emperor Yan:

"It's destiny, the emperor decreed!"

"Li Chunfeng and Li Tianai are plotting to rebel and usurp the throne. Pass on my decree. Anyone who colluded with them will have their entire clan exterminated! Whoever kills them will be made a marquis, a general, and a king!!"

As the capital of Dayan, Dijing City is the most prosperous and largest city in the world. Although Li Tianai's previous attack on the west gate was violent, only the people living in the West City District felt it. At this moment, the imperial edict conveyed by Emperor Yan directly covered the entire Dijing City like the Sealing Heaven and Earth Formation, and was transmitted to the ears of every citizen without distinction.

"what?!"

"Lord Li and General Li actually plotted rebellion!"

"Is this day finally here?"

Countless people were shocked and horrified when they heard Emperor Yan's oral order. However, before they could be too shocked, they soon noticed the changes happening to themselves.

"Why do I feel like my strength is draining away?"

"What is that scarlet light shield in the sky?"

"Why are there strands of Qi and blood floating out of my body?"

……

"Not good! Master Li, Emperor Yan and Master have officially activated the formation and are going to sacrifice all the people in the Imperial Capital!"

In Xicheng District, Hua Youwei's pretty face turned pale with panic when she saw that the situation was finally developing in an irreversible direction.

Li Xu tried to calm down and comfort her: "It's okay, the formation has just been activated, we still have time to stop Emperor Yan..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, and then his expression suddenly turned ugly.

In order to prevent any unexpected situations, after returning to Imperial Capital City yesterday, he gave Zhou Furong a jade talisman containing the Dao rhyme of time and space, and told her to crush the talisman if she encountered any danger, and he would teleport to her side as soon as possible.

And now he sensed that Zhou Furong had crushed the jade talisman.

"Mr. Li, you must rescue Zhou Lingyu and Zhou Furong! If a man like Emperor Yan succeeds in extending his life, it will be a disaster for the whole world!"

Hua Youwei knew very well that her cultivation was weak and that she could only serve as a tip-off. She placed all her hopes of stopping Emperor Yan on Li Xu, Li Chunfeng and others.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me. You Wei, you stay here and be careful to hide and protect yourself!"

Li Xu didn't know what was going on with Zhou Furong. As the situation was critical, he hurriedly left a word of advice to Hua Youwei and immediately used the Daluo Space-Time Method to teleport to the coordinates transmitted by the Space-Time Dao Rhyme.

However, what Li Xu had not expected was that he had already used the proficient and foolproof Daluo Space-Time Method, but this time he failed to move!
While teleporting to Zhou Furong's coordinates, Li Xu suddenly felt a strange and invisible repulsive force, which bounced him out of the void.

"Hehehe!"

A familiar cold laugh came into his ears, and Li Xu hurriedly glanced in the direction of the sound. He saw that he was bounced away by the strange repulsive force and did not teleport to Zhou Furong's coordinates as expected, but came to the outside of the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace.

At this moment, just as the entire Imperial Capital City was shrouded in the Sealing Heaven and Despair Formation, the Imperial Palace was also enveloped by a scaled-down version of the scarlet light shield, and the repulsive force that prevented him from teleporting into the palace came from the surface of the small light shield that enveloped the palace.

In addition to the small light shield, what attracted Li Xu's attention next was the densely packed golden-armored imperial guards surrounding the imperial palace.

Li Tianai reacted quickly. After she broke through the west gate, she immediately rushed to the palace to deal with Emperor Yan. To catch a thief, one must first capture the king.

However, Emperor Yan was well prepared. As soon as Li Tianai approached the palace, before he could get close to the small light shield covering the palace, he was already besieged by a battle formation composed of a group of golden-armored imperial guards.

Li Xu clearly saw that there were two monks leading the battle formation of the Golden Armored Imperial Guards. One was an old monk in a cassock, and the other was a middle-aged woman in a black robe. Both of them had reached the first level of tribulation realm, and they were working together to stop Li Tianai with the blessing of the battle formation.

"They are the abbot of the Vajra Temple and the leader of the Fenglei Sect!"

Li Xu recognized the identities of the two people at a glance and was secretly shocked.

Excluding the Tianfu Sect Master who had been killed by him, there are a total of six sects in the world that can be called first-class, namely Baihua Valley, Liuyun Sect, Vajra Temple, Fenglei Sect, Luohong Sect, and Tianshen Temple. Li Xu had already determined that the leaders of these six first-class sects must have colluded with Emperor Yan, but he did not expect that these six people are now all in Dijing City!

The main reason was that when Li Xu was still in love with Luo Meiyu in Changle Palace, he heard Emperor Yan tell him in person that the six sect leaders would arrive in Dijing City within half a month. But he never thought that the dog emperor did not tell the truth to Luo Meiyu at that time!
"Li Xu! After I suffered at the hands of your Daluo Spacetime Technique last time, do you think I will still be defenseless against you?"

The familiar cold laughter continued to be heard. Li Xu shifted his gaze from his adopted sister who was under siege, and as expected, he saw an old acquaintance.

Just like the abbot of Vajra Temple and the leader of Fenglei Sect were leading the battle to fight against Li Tianai, Jiang Mubai and the leader of Luohong Sect were also leading the battle to fight against Li Chunfeng. While Jiang Mubai launched various terrifying attacks against Li Chunfeng, his eyes revealed an incomparable and strong resentment, and he stared at Li Xu with a fake smile.

"In order to target your Daluo Spacetime Law, I specially set up this magic array that can isolate the rhyme of spacetime!"

"In short! Li Xu, don't even think about entering the palace to stop Emperor Yan. The moment Emperor Yan succeeds in changing his bones and blood and taking over another body, you, Li Chunfeng, and Li Tianai will die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of golden-armored imperial guards who had formed a battle formation around him immediately sent thousands of people to attack Li Xu from the air.

"Xiao Xu!" In the distance, Li Tianai and Li Chunfeng saw Li Xu suddenly appear in the center of the battlefield. Their hearts suddenly tightened and they wanted to go over to rescue him.

The next moment, they saw an extremely cold white mist spreading out from Li Xu's body. All the golden-armored imperial guards that came into contact with the white mist were instantly frozen into ice cubes. They fell from the sky like dumplings and shattered to the ground. Only then did their tense heartstrings relax, and they completely realized that their stupid younger brother (the evildoer) had truly grown up to be able to stand on their own.

"You want to stop me with just a magic circle? You're just dreaming!"

Li Xu responded to Jiang Mubai with an angry snort, stretched out his hand to the surface of the light shield, and operated the Daluo Space-Time Method to its limit. Just as he was about to force the Space-Time Dao Rhyme to penetrate the barrier -

"You are truly extraordinary. If I had known this, I should have kept you in Baihua Valley forever!"

Another familiar sneer was heard, and Li Xu glanced over and saw Liu Qingshan, the leader of Baihua Valley, appearing above his head, with a palm surrounded by endless cherry blossoms, slapping towards him.

"The five sect masters of the Vajra Temple, Wind and Thunder Sect, Heavenly God Temple, Luohong Sect, and Hundred Flower Valley have already appeared. The last one left is the Sect Master of the Liuyun Sect..."

While Li Xu was quickly analyzing the situation on the battlefield, he wanted to stop infiltrating the light shield barrier so that he could focus on dealing with Liu Qingshan. At this time, a cold female voice suddenly came into his ears.

"Leave him to me!"

Li Xu was slightly stunned. Who else could that cold female voice be but Cheng Susu who ran away with the ball?
...When did Master come to Imperial Capital City?
Did she come to Imperial Capital City to track down Liu Qingshan, or did she come to find me?
Just as Li Xu was stunned, a group of pink cherry blossoms flashed over his head and transformed into Cheng Susu's true form, colliding with Liu Qingshan's palm print without any avoidance.

"boom!"

Suddenly someone came out of nowhere to block the attack. Liu Qingshan was quite suspicious at first. The moment he saw the beautiful and cold appearance of the woman in front of him, his heart skipped a beat and he blurted out:

"Cheng Susu! It's you!"

When his eyes fell on Cheng Susu's bulging belly, Liu Qingshan's eyes were filled with shock, jealousy, anger and other mixed emotions.

"Liu Qingshan! I will kill you today!"

Cheng Susu spoke each word in a cold voice, pouring all her life's hatred into the charm of Taoism. She seemed to have transformed into a beautiful and deadly cherry blossom. The spiritual power swept through her horrifically, shattering Liu Qingshan into a large amount of charm like a deadly withering tree or rotten wood.

Ever since she obtained the Fountain of Eternal Youth and reshaped her innate body, Cheng Susu's control over the Shocking Heaven and Earth Art has reached perfection. Liu Qingshan's attainments in this area cannot be compared with hers.

"Master, please be safe! You don't have to fight Liu Qingshan to death, just delay him for a while, I will definitely help you kill him later!"

When Li Xu saw Cheng Susu catching up with Liu Qingshan's exploding aura and attacking him with all her might, he was afraid that she would get too excited and wanted to help her deal with Liu Qingshan. However, Li Xu knew very well that the Shocking Heaven and Earth Technique was the most bizarre of all the heavenly-level techniques and was extremely good at saving lives.

Even if he and Cheng Susu, their master and disciple, joined forces, they would certainly not be able to kill Liu Qingshan in a short period of time, and by that time, Emperor Yan would probably have already taken over the bones of Zhou Lingyu and Zhou Furong.

Gritting his teeth, Li Xu was forced to give up the idea of ​​joining forces with Cheng Susu and intensified the time and space rhyme that was poured into the light shield barrier. Finally, he heard a crisp "pop" sound, and he successfully penetrated the barrier's blocking force on him and sensed the coordinates of Zhou Furong again.

"Li Tianai, Master, Lao Deng... wait for me to come back!"

Li Xu took a deep look at the three people who were each on a battlefield in the distance, muttered to himself, and immediately made a decisive move to merge into the surrounding void and teleport.

"Damn it! I let you in anyway!"

While Jiang Mubai and the leader of the Luohong Sect joined forces to stop Li Chunfeng, they had been paying attention to Li Xu. Seeing that Li Xu had finally broken through the light shield, the expressions on his faces suddenly became more resentful and angry.

He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to deal with the Daluo Space-Time Law. From a certain perspective, Li Xu, who possessed the ability to teleport, was even more difficult for them to deal with than Li Chunfeng and Li Tianai.

Therefore, in order to guard against Li Xu, Jiang Mubai spent a lot of effort to set up a barrier specifically for the Dao rhyme of time and space, and let Liu Qingshan hide near the barrier. Once Li Xu was blocked and bounced out by the barrier, Liu Qingshan would immediately appear and kill him in the shortest time possible.

But Jiang Mubai had planned everything, but he never expected that Cheng Susu would suddenly appear at the critical moment. Once Liu Qingshan was restrained by her, naturally no one could stop Li Xu.

"Don't think you can stop Emperor Yan by entering the palace!"

Jiang Mubai thought viciously.

"If you don't enter the palace, I may not be able to catch you with your elusive Daluo Space-Time Method. But once you enter the palace, it will be extremely difficult to get out!"

Jiang Mubai was not comforting himself. The imperial palace today was indeed a den of dragons and tigers for Li Xu.

"Luo Meiyu has not only reached the first level of cultivation, but also mastered the extremely strong and masculine Fire Burning Art. Even I am afraid of her in a head-on fight. Do you think Luo Meiyu will let you stop Emperor Yan?!"

“Even if you manage to avoid Luo Meiyu, there are two other first-rank cultivators in the palace. Any one of them can easily crush you to death!”

……

"No one is trying to stop me anymore?"

The moment he successfully penetrated into the imperial palace by using the Daluo Space-Time Method, Li Xu breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt surprised and hesitant.

There are a total of six sects in the world that can be called first-class, and five of their leaders have all appeared, leaving only the last leader of Liuyun Sect.

Li Xu did not think that Emperor Yan had colluded with the five first-rate sects and would only miss the Liuyun Sect. Just now, Li Xu was secretly on guard against the leader of the Liuyun Sect, thinking that he would rush out like Liu Qingshan the moment he broke through the blockade of the barrier. However, he did not expect that until he used the Daluo Time and Space Method, he still did not see the shadow of the leader of the Liuyun Sect.

"I understand."

Li Xu suddenly thought of the blood feud between Luo Meiyu and Liuyun Sect.

The hatred between Luo Meiyu and Liuyun Sect is no less than the hatred between Cheng Susu and Baihua Valley. If Emperor Yan directly exposes the fact that he is colluding with Liuyun Sect, there is no doubt that Luo Meiyu will break with him completely.

"In order to keep Yu'er stable, are you hiding the Liuyun Sect in the dark for the time being?"

Li Xu was thoughtful and felt that the leader of Liuyun Sect was most likely with Emperor Yan at the moment. This would not only help Emperor Yan seize Zhou Lingyu's body and protect him, but also keep Luo Meiyu in the dark.

"It's a pity. Even if Yu'er didn't know that you were colluding with Liuyun Sect, I would have already won her over. I am definitely the one who can get Yu'er's help!" (End of this chapter)
