Chapter 177
Three days passed in a flash.
After the three witch elders invaded Qingyun County, and after the devastating scene that appeared at the place where the Endless Forest Divine Bird Totem was located, the masters of the witch clan seemed to have disappeared. Even if the Moon God died, the witch clan did not go crazy and cause trouble for Qingyun County as imagined.
However, the witch clan was still gathering at the edge of the Endless Forest. The six branches of the witch clan led by Lei Dong did not leave, and the monks of Qingyun County did not slack off, always building magic arrays and traps at the border.
After Fang Linglong fell into a coma, she woke up briefly and told Li Yaoqing that "the Li family no longer needs to worry about the strong above the Transformation Realm". Then she fell into a coma again and was taken back to Merit City by Li Yaoqing.
However, the Li family could guess that Fang Linglong had helped the Li family this time. However, Li Yaoqing said that in order to help the Demon Lord recover, in addition to her "Heavenly Punishment Plant Divine Art" and those heaven-defying treasures, ordinary methods were mediocre in effect, which made the Li family members not know how to repay Fang Linglong's kindness.
At this time.
The Li family gathered together and knelt down in front of the ancestral tablet, thanking the ancestor Li Xiang for killing the Moon God this time and saving the family again.
At this moment, Li Xiang was sitting on the altar, proudly raising his head and waving his hands casually, "It's a small matter, hehe, it's a small matter."
It was as if he was not the one who was stunned for a day because of the severe pain sequelae after using "Fight, Dear Ancestor" on the bloody night three days ago.
"Ancestor, this time my child acted recklessly and caused our family to fall into a war with the witch clan again. Please punish me, Ancestor!"
Li Dalong kowtowed guiltily.
Seeing this, Li Xiang was not angry. In fact, the whole Li family knew that Li Dalong came to the border city this time with the intention of dying and making plans for the future of the family. But neither Li Xiang, the ancestor, nor the children of the Li family would give up anyone in the family, and everyone would face everything together.
Immediately, Li Xiang used the skill "Ancestor's Caress", and Lao Gener, who turned into a mist dragon, also appeared in front of the spirit tablet, repeating the words written by Li Xiang on the translucent panel in front of him.
"The master said that things have already happened, and the right thing to do is to face them bravely."
"Thank you, ancestor, for your forgiveness!"
Li Dalong thanked him repeatedly, secretly saying that the ancestor really loved him the most.
Immediately, the Li family discussed the future plans for Qingyun County in the ancestral hall. Just as Li Xiang said, since they have all returned, neither the Qing Dynasty nor the Wu Clan can seize the land of the Li family. They will do everything they can to let everyone know that Qingyun County is the Qingyun County of the Li family!
"Ancestor, the madman got the title of the county king and the promise of the human emperor according to the child's instructions. This identity can enable us to control many powerful people and forces. The child thinks that the position of the county king should be given to the madman."
As Li Dalong's voice fell.
Li Kuangren, who was quietly listening to the instructions of the elders, was stunned, "Grandfather, the child will be the county king?"
With so many elders, it shouldn't be his turn.
"Yeah."
Li Dalong smiled and said, "The Feng family already has a county king. Even if our two families have a good relationship, there will inevitably be conflicts between the two county kings in this county. But you are different. Feng Chunlin is your elder brother-in-law. You have the identity of a Feng family member. He is so happy. Besides, the old tree never makes mistakes. He said you will sit on the throne, so you can sit boldly."
"I understand, kid."
Li Kuangren nodded solemnly, and the old tree, who had already appeared in human form and closed his eyes to rest, raised his head proudly.
Afterwards, Li Kuangren took out many things from the ring, including the jade slip of the imperial title, the jade carving of the county king, and a python robe. He slowly walked out of the door. With the nods of the Li family, he took a deep breath and engraved his name on the jade slip of the imperial title.
Immediately, a formation diagram fell from the sky above the entire Qingyun County, and the vitality of heaven and earth formed a light column that enveloped Li Kuangren's body, and a throne appeared in the sky.
Everyone in Qingyun Border City looked at the light column in surprise.
Only to see Li Kuangren floating up with the light column and landing on the throne!
His voice rang out in the sky.
"Today, Li Kuangren of the Qingyun Li family has received the decree of the Emperor and is appointed as the Prince of Qingyun County!"
The vitality of heaven and earth gathered from the diagram and gathered towards Li Kuangren.
His aura continued to rise!
......
At this time, in the imperial city, at the court meeting held every eighteen days.
The court officials
Noisy.
"News came from the Qingyun border. All the monks who evacuated Qingyun County returned. Under the leadership of Li Yunbing of the Li family, they fought a beautiful ambush and killed 430,000 enemies!"
"I didn't expect that none of them obeyed the order to retreat. A mere county town actually resisted six Fang tribes. The Qingyun Li family is not simple either. Li Dalong survived the nine-nine thunder tribulation and resisted the Wu clan apostle alone. According to intelligence, there is a Qingyun Li family named Li Yaoqing who is about to survive the nine-nine thunder tribulation."
"I heard that this time the Wu clan even dispatched the elders. The last time was 30,000 years ago. The Li family used their trump card and killed the Moon God!"
"Hiss~"
They couldn't help but be in an uproar. In the last court meeting, in the eyes of these officials, Qingyun County had been abandoned. But this time when they gathered again, Qingyun County was defended beyond everyone's expectations!
Some people were even secretly happy because of this. The cession of the twelve counties on the border made many high-ranking officials present feel humiliated. How could this great victory not make them excited?
But among these ministers, the one with the ugliest face was undoubtedly the national teacher Min Youguo.
The great victory of the Li family did not make him, the national teacher, feel happy at all. The cession of the twelve counties in exchange for ten thousand years of peace was a very worthwhile deal for him, and it would also become his commendable political achievement in his plan. But the Li family defended the border, which disrupted all his plans and even made the ministers question his decision.
A county city and family that was originally abandoned survived, just like giving him a loud slap in the face, telling everyone his stupidity.
"Your Majesty!"
Min Youguo bowed to the emperor behind the curtain and said with a frown: "General Wang Jinhu, who always wins, disobeyed your majesty's order and fought with the elders of the Wu tribe in Qingyun County. This is undoubtedly destroying the alliance between your majesty and the Wu tribe. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Please give an order, and I will immediately send someone to bring Wang Jinhu back to be punished!"
As soon as these words came out, the military generals began to curse, and for a while the court was full of spit from civil officials and military generals.
Many military generals asked for orders to lead troops from all sides to help Qingyun. Some military generals even asked strong men who had been in seclusion for many years to lead troops and follow the example of Tai Shi Linjiu to expedition to the northern border to include the land of the Nanman Wu tribe into the territory of the Qing Emperor. Even some stubborn old civil officials in the court supported this.
As if seeing more and more court officials asking for orders, the Human Emperor's voice rang out, "This matter will be raised after the Grand Master returns to the court."
This silenced all the court officials. Grand Master Linjiu had been fighting in the northern border for thousands of years. When he returns to the court, Qingyun County will be full of Wu people's totems.
"National Master."
Hearing the Human Emperor calling his name, Min Youguo hurriedly bowed, "I'm here!"
"Pass on my order, and tell Wang Jinhu to return to the court immediately..."
Min Youguo's mouth was just rising, and before the Human Emperor finished speaking, everyone felt a token coming from outside the court. It was the County King's Order!
All the titles and official positions in the Qing Dynasty were recognized by the destiny of heaven and earth and were conferred by the Human Emperor, and this County King's Order was engraved with the name of Li Kuangren of the Li family!
As the Qingyun County King's Order appeared in the hall, everyone's face changed.
What the Human Emperor meant just now was that he was going to give up Qingyun County and the Li family stubbornly. But when Li Kuangren left that day, everyone, including the Emperor, believed that Qingyun would perish and the Li family would decline, so the Emperor promised Li Kuangren the title of the Qingyun County King.
Now...
With the appearance of this token, if the Emperor promised, the Qingyun Li family would reoccupy Qingyun County. Does this mean that he has torn up the covenant of the Wu clan? If not, does it mean that he, the Emperor, has broken his promise?
"What a courage!"
Min Youguo's eyes widened in anger. The Qingyun Li family did this when all the ministers were discussing the matter. It was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Emperor!
That Li Kuangren didn't come earlier or later, but he had to come when all the civil and military officials gathered in the court!
......
The border of Qingyun.
Everyone was looking at the scene in the sky. Qingyun County was surging with wind and clouds, and the luck of heaven and earth was blessing it. This was the time when the title of the county king was added. Few people could see this scene!
They looked expectant.
The Li family led them to fight against the witch clan. They must hope that the Li family can ascend to the position of the county king, so that they can be legitimate!
But soon everyone looked anxious. The luck of heaven and earth has not blessed Li Kuangren for a long time!
Everyone in the Li family frowned.
On the contrary, Li Kuangren on the throne looked calm. He knew everything about the blessing of the county king from Feng Chunlin. "I think the county king token has arrived in the hall now?"
Suddenly he grinned and shouted loudly: "Please fulfill your promise in the court that day and grant me the position of Qingyun County King of Li family!"
As his voice fell.
The cultivators of the entire Qingyun border all looked up to the sky and shouted.
"Please fulfill your promise!"
The voice was louder and louder.
Waves, they believed that their voices would definitely reach the ears of the Human Emperor!
The first shout, the second shout... but there was still no response, the shouts of the Qingyun monks became more and more manic.
Then.
After the war with the Wu clan, before they could celebrate, all the Qingyun monks fell silent. Even if it was a sunny day, they were still gloomy.
The Human Emperor's gift did not come down, the diagram in the sky disappeared again, and the light column falling from the sky disappeared!
Only Li Kuangren still sat on the throne calmly in the air.
The bastard who sat on the throne and was blessed by God did not fulfill his promise and did not give Li Kuangren the title of county king! His words were like shit, and he fooled the people of Qingyun County again!
Just when all the people of Qingyun County had nowhere to vent their anger.
Li Kuangren's voice rang in the sky.
"It seems that His Majesty the Human Emperor doesn't recognize me, but what if I don't have the title of the County King?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Qingyun County was stunned.
Yes, if the Human Emperor doesn't recognize me, then is Li's madman no longer a County King?
"The twelve counties of the border city have been ceded, and Qingyun is no longer the territory of the dynasty. Can't we cultivators fight back what belongs to us? Today, we are still standing on the land that belongs to us, and we are fighting against the witch clan!"
"It was so thirty years ago, and now..."
"It is still so!"
As Li's madman's voice echoed again.
Everyone in the border city stared.
Feng Chunlin and the five ancestors looked at Li Kuangren, and he suddenly laughed. His voice was emitted with the vitality of heaven and earth, and fell into everyone's ears, "The Human Emperor doesn't approve, but I, the County King, will recognize it. What do you think of Qingyun County?"
"Hahaha, County King Li Kuangren!"
"County King Li Kuangren!"
The whole border city was once again filled with the shouts of Qingyun people.
Fuck the Emperor, he didn't help during the war, and now he's just a king, why do you need his approval?
"You little brat, are you rebelling?"
In the crowd, Li Xiang murmured, the children at home are all very annoying.
As soon as the voice fell, the light blue panel in front of him was so dazzling.
[Your descendant, Li Kuangren, deliberately asked to become a county king on the day of the court meeting in the imperial city. He was sure that the Emperor had no reason to blame the Li family, and deliberately made the Emperor lose face. He was still upset about the Emperor's betrayal in the court that day, and decided to weaken the Emperor's prestige bit by bit, causing dissatisfaction with the Emperor among the Qingyun people and even the people of the Qing Dynasty. [Gained Trait: Heart of Rebellion]
[He is gradually becoming a rebel, the success rate of rebellion increases by 20%, the psychological damage to the emperor increases by 20%, and the real damage increases by 10%]
"......"
Li Xiang stared at Li Kuangren with a faint smile on his face, listening to the cheers of the monks around him. I am afraid that at this moment, as long as Li Kuangren gives an order, the monks will dare to follow Li Kuangren to break into the Heavenly Palace.
Then he scratched his head blankly.
"It's useless. This kid has the talent to kill nine clans."
