The head fell down with a 'bang', the bloody scene caused the people of King of Punishment to be stunned.
Not only the people from the King of Punishment, even the people from the Dengzhou City were startled when they saw Nangong Jue being killed.
King of Punishment and Nangong Jue were killed? Those two devil-like people were actually killed!
Li Chen raised his head, his pitch black eyes releasing a terrifying light, many people lowered their heads under his gaze.
Li Chen's mouth arched upwards, he rushed forward and quickly arrived at the King of Punishment's army, his speed was too fast, by the time everyone reacted, he would have his head cut off, his eyes wide open as he looked at the sky.
"Shua shua shua!"
After a few rounds, about ten people fell to the ground, causing the people of King of Punishment to panic.
Li Chen shouted loudly: "King of Punishment is dead! Those who surrender can do so lightly! "
The people he killed were all people that had an evil aura around them, and they were all willing to learn that evil technique. This alone showed that there was something wrong with their three views. That kind of evil technique could corrode a person's logic, causing them to be twisted like Nangong Jue, who, when killing them, would not hold back at all.
However, he could not kill the rest of the rebel soldiers. He had to wait for Xiong Ke and Princess Jiayi's confirmation first.
After all, he was not truly qualified to control their life and death.
"Pass my order, surrender now! Those who refuse to surrender will be killed without mercy! " Princess Jiayi let out a loud shout at the top of the city gate, and the city gate slowly opened up as the soldiers of Dengzhou City came out.
This battle went much more smoothly than many of them had imagined.
Other than a few loyal followers of the King of Punishment, many of them directly chose to surrender. After all, the King of Punishment was already dead, so no matter how they resisted, they would not be able to escape failure, so they might as well surrender. With the promise of the Princess Jiayi, they could at least keep their lives!
After this war, it would be much easier to take back more than half of the Beiming Nation.
At night, Princess Jiayi held a banquet.
Although Xiong Ke was injured, he still chose to attend.
At this time, the most important person was naturally Li Chen.
Only after he saw Li Chen's true face did Princess Jiayi let out a surprised cry.
"Many thanks for Young Master Li's help this time. Would Young Master Li be willing to follow me back to the Divine Wood City to receive my rewards?"
Li Chen originally wanted to refuse, but if he wanted to go to Stellar Sea, he really had to pass by Divine Wood City, so he could only nod his head in agreement.
"This time, the King of Punishment was finally killed. Your Majesty can finally be at ease." Xiong Ke sighed, a plan started to form in his eyes as he decided to follow Li Chen.
At the very least, there wouldn't be any problems in the Beiming Nation for a long period of time.
Furthermore, with Princess Jiayi here, Beiming Nation will definitely flourish.
Three days later, everyone had reached the Divine Wood City. Inside the city, Wan Tongtian had already received a letter from Xiong Ke.
Because it was Wan Tongtian, Xiong Ke did not hide his identity from him.
When they found out that the other party's name was Li Chen, Wan Tongtian quickly sent people to find out Li Chen's identity.
Li Chen had made a name for himself in the Southern region, at least among the people who mentioned him in the Southern region.
Wan Tongtian's eyes flashed. Purified Jade Bottle? The Life Transmutation Incantation, how great would it be if they were all his own?
He had to think of a way to keep this Li Chen alive!
In the palace, Li Chen didn't have the intention to kneel. With his identity, he should be treated equally no matter where he went. After all, he was the sect master, and his strength was unfathomable.
However, Li Chen not kneeling down made many ministers feel uncomfortable. They did not know Li Chen's identity and only felt that he was extremely arrogant.
Immediately, someone said: "Who are you! Seeing your majesty, you actually refused to kneel! "
"How can such a disrespectful person appear in my great hall?"
In the Beiming Nation, the only person who could not kneel when facing the Emperor was Xiong Ke.
Xiong Ke had done a lot for the Beiming Nation, so naturally no one dared to find trouble with him. However, in these people's eyes, Li Chen was just a nobody.
A look of ridicule flashed past Li Chen's eyes, he raised his head and looked at Wan Tongtian who was on the dragon throne. Three to four years ago, he did not have to kneel, but now, he could not kneel either: "Does His Majesty think I should kneel?"
Wan Tongtian, who was waiting for the Minister to show his might to Li Chen, was startled, and then he awkwardly said: "Young Noble Li must have done a great service in this civil war! We have granted him permission to not kneel down, so there's no need for all our beloved officials to care too much about it. "
Li Chen was a little unhappy in his heart. It was as if kneeling down was a heavenly gift for Wan Tongtian to say such words.
Wan Tongtian did not seem to notice Li Chen's frown and said to the people beside him: "Everyone, my dear ones, you may not know this, but Sir Li only helped my Beiming Nation get rid of his internal worries after he attacked twice during the battle. He is a hero!"
After the ministers heard this, they began to discuss amongst themselves.
"How do you think I should reward such a hero?"
Wan Tongtian's mouth curved up into a smile.
Xiong Ke was a little unhappy. He could roughly understand that Wan Tongtian's old ailment had started again, and he wanted Li Chen to be used by him again.
He hoped that Wan Tongtian would not do that. Otherwise, if Li Chen did not have that kind of heart, it would not be easy to deal with.
"Your Majesty, Young Master Li is powerful, I think we should reward you with a thousand acres of good fortune!"
One of the officials said.
Wan Tongtian did not nod his head, but smiled and looked at everyone, waiting for them to say what they wanted to hear.
This group of ministers were all experienced and capable, how could they not see that Wan Tongtian was not satisfied with the answer? They continued, "I think we need to give him another ten thousand taels of gold ?"
After a bunch of rewards were given down, Wan Tongtian could only smile, but even Li Chen was a little confused.
Everyone could not figure out what Wan Tongtian was thinking.
"Prime Minister, what do you think I should send?"
Seeing that the discussion below had reached its end, Wan Tongtian continued to ask the Prime Minister who had been silent all this time.
"This humble subject thinks that His Majesty has a daughter, Jia Yi. Her character is dignified, and Young Master Li is a young hero. The two of them are extremely compatible.
The ministers in the crowd began to discuss enthusiastically, each feeling that the Prime Minister's words were very accurate.
Being able to act as Prime Minister was naturally a worm in Wan Tongtian's stomach, how could he not know what Wan Tongtian was thinking?
At the same time, he heard the discussions of the crowd. A hint of laughter flashed across Wan Tongtian's eyes, and he looked at Li Chen and said: "Young Master Li, what do you think? Princess Jiayi has been pampered by me since young, but since I was young, my temper and character is good, so I also feel that it is fine to be compatible with Young Master. "
"I refuse!"
Li Chen's eyes shined brightly as he suddenly said those words.
The hall immediately turned cold, no one expected Li Chen to reject his suggestion.
"How dare you!" Your Majesty actually dares to reject your bestowment! "
One of them shouted at Li Chen, wanting to give Li Chen a crime, but Li Chen gave him a calm look. With just one glance, he kept the rest of his words.
The killing intent from those eyes made him instantly feel cold sweat on his back. For a moment, he did not dare to speak.
"Oh? "You don't want to?" Wan Tongtian slightly narrowed his eyes: "Can you tell us the reason? Could it be that you think Jia Yi is not worthy of you? "
Li Chen smiled faintly: "The emperor's suggestion is very good. Princess Jiayi is also an outstanding person, but I am used to it.
Li Chen's words were very straightforward, but Wan Tongtian was extremely unhappy.
To dare disobey him, this truly made him feel very unhappy.
Most importantly, Wan Tongtian understood the meaning behind Li Chen's words, which was that Li Chen would never choose to stay in the Beiming Nation no matter what.
How could this not make him angry?
The morning meeting ended unhappily, and Xiong Ke specifically requested to see Wan Tongtian alone.
"Your Majesty must not have any thoughts towards Li Chen!"
Xiong Ke's face was extremely serious, with his understanding of Li Chen, he knew that Li Chen was not someone who would be manipulated by others. If he was forced into a corner, he really did not know what Li Chen would do.
"This Li Chen, he really doesn't know what's good for him!" Wan Tongtian squinted his eyes, not concealing the killing intent in his eyes at all.
Xiong Ke advised: "He is not a person from my Northern Region, he is not a subject from my Beiming Nation, his strength is also strong, he can go anywhere, if I force him, no one from my Beiming Nation can stop him!"
Wan Tongtian laughed coldly when he heard this. "If I can't keep him, I'd rather destroy him! Do you know how much he has? Purified Jade Bottle! Polar Ares-class! That was not something that the Green Ming Sword could compare to! "
Xiong Ke frowned, he roughly understood that Wan Tongtian truly had intentions for him.
He still wanted to bring up the matter of removing the armor and returning to the field, but looking at Wan Tongtian's appearance, he could only put it aside for now.
Li Chen was still living in the house from before. After separating for three or four years, he didn't think that he would have the chance to live here again.
"Young master!" When the newbie scholar saw Li Chen return, he anxiously ran over, "What rewards did the emperor give you?!"
The rumors had always been greedy for money, and now, they were excitedly asking about Li Chen's rewards. One had to know, her biggest hobby was to count the money!
Looking at the rumored rich fanatic's face, Li Chen could not help but want to laugh, and said intentionally: "That is a priceless treasure!"
"What is that thing?!" The young man's eyes lit up. Young Master, quickly tell me! "
"Unfortunately, I rejected him!" Li Chen smiled, and looked at the astonished Little Announcement.
"What?" The rumors said that Li Chen rejected a priceless treasure!
This really was ? Little Charmer felt as if his heart was bleeding!
"Because I don't think you'd like that." Looking at Little Zhang's petrified expression, Li Chen could not help but laugh.
"How can I not like it! That is a priceless treasure! "
Li Chen only smiled at the Clairvoyant, still not saying a word.
