Chapter 38

Li Shun Tian instantly froze the two people into ice pops. Liu Yang was so frightened that he couldn't speak, at this moment he truly believed that the Ninth Prince had returned after completing his studies.

Yue Haixia, standing beside him, didn't feel much about this move; it was just a quick freeze spell, something that any cultivator who had reached the middle stage of Qi Condensation could do.

"Who made you do this?" Li Shun Tian demanded.

"This... this humble one doesn't know. Here, humble one has no... no authority to ask, all matters are handled by Manager Ma!" Liu Yang said, trembling with fear. He didn't know the strength of the Immortal Master, but he felt that the Ninth Prince was no longer the same.

"Yue Haixia, take care of my mother. Liu Yang, where is my brother who became the emperor?" Li Shun Tian asked directly.

Hearing that he was looking for the emperor, Liu Yang immediately said, "At this time, he should be in the Qiankun Hall receiving the civil and military ministers!"

"Good!"

Li Shun Tian shouted, then grabbed Liu Yang and flew up.

Liu Yang had never been in the air before; seeing himself in the sky, he was so frightened that he trembled all over.

Lin Haoming knew that Li Shun Tian was going to take revenge, so he followed him to see what kind of person the emperor of this world was.

The Qiankun Hall was not far away, and it didn't take long for the three of them to arrive.

The guards at the Qiankun Hall were startled when they saw three figures flying in from the sky. However, they were palace guards and knew that the people coming were likely Immortal Masters. The guards wanted to block the entrance and ask about the situation before letting them in, but the newcomers simply threw one of them out.

"Liu Yang, what are you doing?"

Liu Yang was directly thrown into the palace gate, and the person sitting on the imperial throne immediately scolded him.

But as soon as his voice fell, Li Shun Tian mocked, "Second Brother, you really are impressive. Now that you're the emperor, you think you're the true son of heaven!"

"Nine... Ninth Brother!" Seeing the person who spoke, the emperor, Li Yitian, twitched his eyelids.

"It's rare that you recognize me, Second Brother. I thought you had already forgotten me!" Li Shun Tian said with disdain.

"Li Shun Tian, now that the Second Prince is the Son of Heaven, you, as a subject, dare to speak to the emperor in such a tone. Kneel down!" At this moment, an old minister with white hair stood up and scolded Li Shun Tian.

After hearing this, Li Shun Tian raised his hand, and a fireball immediately shot out from his hand, landing on the old minister. The old minister instantly turned into a ball of flames and, in a few breaths, became a pile of ashes.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, many people screamed in shock. At the same time, an old man, a strong man, and a woman appeared from somewhere, protecting Li Yitian.

Li Shun Tian looked at his brother on the throne but ignored the three people, and said coldly, "I'm sorry, Second Brother, I accidentally got rid of your father-in-law."

Seeing that he was protected, Li Yitian recovered from his shock and looked at Li Shun Tian, saying coldly, "Li Shun Tian, you are too presumptuous. Even if you have cultivated Immortal techniques, you cannot be tolerated. Take him down!"

Li Yitian spoke, but the three people did not immediately act. The woman, who looked to be in her thirties, said to Li Shun Tian, "Ninth Prince, since you have joined the sect, you should not meddle in secular affairs. The sect's rules state that we cannot interfere in secular matters!"

The old man, the strong man, and the woman were all cultivators, but their cultivation was not high. The strongest woman was only at the eighth level of Qi Condensation. Despite her youthful appearance, she was clearly using a beauty-preserving technique, and her real age was probably over sixty. Therefore, although these three were all late-stage Qi Condensation cultivators, none of them dared to really act.

Li Shun Tian also saw this and said coldly, "The sect does have this rule, but if it's for revenge for one's secular family, it's not included. Liu Yang, tell me, what has happened to my mother?"

"Empress Wang was sent to the cold palace, where she was bullied and has become mentally deranged!" Liu Yang also realized that the Ninth Prince seemed to have a significant position in the Immortal Sect, as the three Immortal Masters protecting the emperor did not dare to act against him.

Hearing this, the three people looked at each other. The woman hesitated and said, "Princess Yongfu is now a disciple of Senior Brother Qian. Li Junior Brother, don't make things difficult for us!"

This so-called Senior Brother Qian was clearly the inner sect disciple in the Lingxiao Tower. It was no wonder these people were protecting the emperor and not taking Li Shun Tian's mother seriously.

Lin Haoming, who had been watching this drama, seized the opportunity and said solemnly, "This is a family matter. If Senior Brother Qian is not satisfied, let him come to me. This is Li Junior Brother's family matter, and I advise you not to meddle. I can guarantee that Li Junior Brother will not involve others excessively. As for the emperor, we can find another one. The Li family has so many people; there will always be someone to succeed. Then you can continue to enjoy your wealth and honor!"

Lin Haoming had the cultivation of the ninth level of Qi Condensation and was clearly very young, probably not even twenty years old. At this moment, he was wearing casual clothes, and hearing his tone, the three people subconsciously thought that this person might be a core disciple of the sect.

Although they were outer sect disciples, they knew that only unpopular inner sect disciples would be sent to guard here. Since a core disciple had spoken, the three people naturally had no reason to stop him. Moreover, this senior brother had given them a way out. If they didn't agree, they might anger him. They did not have the courage to do so, so they stepped aside.

Seeing that just one word could make the Immortal Masters protecting the emperor shut up, the entire court of civil and military ministers dared not breathe, only staring dumbly at the Ninth Prince's next move.

A hint of coldness flashed in Li Shun Tian's eyes, and he directly threw out an iron ball. The iron ball looked black and unremarkable, but under Li Shun Tian's casual point, it quickly shot towards Li Yitian.

Li Yitian was hit as if by a meteor, instantly shattered, and turned into a pile of flesh.

At this moment, the three so-called Immortal Masters looked at each other.

Li Shun Tian's seventh-level Qi Condensation cultivation could not fool them, but the mid-grade magical tool in his hand was real.

This was a mid-grade magical tool, and its power was undeniable. As outer sect disciples of the Blood Cultivation Sect, they knew the price. They could not afford it in their entire lives in the Blood Cultivation Sect. Now they were truly grateful for their choice and for the face this core inner sect disciple gave them. If it were someone else, they would have acted directly!

At this moment, Lin Haoming also looked at the three cultivators with surprise. Just now, he suddenly felt three portions of merit enter the merit bead. Before this, he had already received the merit from Li Shun Tian for speaking up and showing gratitude. Now, with three more portions, it could only be from them.

To get merit like this, Lin Haoming found it quite amusing.
