"The Emperor is dead."
The letter sent by Luo Qingshu contained only these few small words.
But a big question mark arose in Gu Chi's mind.
"Are you sure this is Luo Qingshu's handwriting?" Gu Chi asked.
Huang Siu nodded: "Her handwriting is ugly, but I remember it clearly."
Gu Chi fell into deep thought.
Luo Qingshu probably wouldn't lie to him.
The emperor may really be dead.
Yan Qianxi didn't dare to lie to him.
The emperor may have truly become a saint.
If the spy who was inquiring about the information didn't want to die suddenly, there was only one possibility.
The current emperor is a false emperor.
In the world of Xianxia, the art of disguise is nothing new.
Recalling what the two Sword Sect disciples in the capital said before, the emperor only went to court every now and then. Maybe he didn't want others to notice the clues?
It makes sense that Luo Qingshu has been banned since her return to Beijing and has been under the supervision of people from the Demon Hunting Department.
And during that time, the emperor did not go to court.
From this point of view, the emperor not only died, but also died very young.
Maybe they didn't even have time to know what happened on Qihuang Mountain.
Are you so anxious to take action, are you afraid that the emperor will ask the goddess for help?
So when he found out that the goddess had become a saint and his plan to kidnap the princess was disrupted, he rushed back to make the emperor and replaced him with someone else?
Once this is revealed, the consequences will be disastrous.
But then again, if we don't do this, when the emperor finds the goddess, the end of the Demon Detective Division will only be even more ugly.
It has to be said that the person behind the decision was really decisive and courageous.
The key was really hidden from them.
Now that the false emperor has become a saint, even if he is exposed again, the Demon Detective Division will still be able to fight.
There may be more than one saint in the capital at this time.
And within a few days.
Another piece of news spread in the capital, surprising countless people.
"What are you talking about? The emperor wants to make Princess Yangyue his crown prince?!"
"Really or not? I don't study well, so don't try to trick me."
"Princess Yangyue has an arrogant temper, so the emperor can safely hand over the country to her?"
"The edict has been issued, how can it be false?"
The establishment of a crown prince in the Qianyuan Dynasty was divided into two steps. First, draw up an edict, express the intention of establishing a crown prince with all civil and military officials, listen to the rumors, and then issue a document that can truly confirm the prince's status three days later, announcing it to the world.
It is equivalent to a public notification system.
Princess Yangyue is the only daughter of the emperor, so there is nothing wrong with making her the crown prince.
It is not that there were no empresses in the history of Beichuan, and there were quite a few.
But the problem is that Princess Yangyue is still confined in the princess mansion and has not been released, which shows that the emperor is still angry, but he immediately made Princess Yangyue the crown princess...
They say you should give a date after a slap, but before the slap was finished, you were given a pot of dates first. Is this reasonable?
Of course it's unreasonable.
But does it matter?
It doesn't matter.
As a player, Li Zhiyi didn't care about logic or illogicality. If Datiansi hadn't insisted on it, he wouldn't even want the three-day publicity period.
Xia Ling's judgment was correct. The emperor had indeed changed someone, and this person was under his control - control in the true sense.
The last time Li Zhiyi died in Zhongzhou, he was a great demon.
The S-level game evaluation allowed him to obtain a precious "reincarnation" BUFF.
Similar to skill archive.
This game returns to Wu Quxing, who has one more talent than other players from the beginning.
[Celestial Demon Bloodline: You can usurp the mind of a creature below the saint level (limited to one use), and you can be reborn through its body after your own death. Your attacks are equipped with the power of the heavenly demon, which can cause more damage to human monks. The speed of practice is increased by 500%. 】
Li Zhiyi originally planned to control the emperor.
He specifically inquired that the Qianyuan Dynasty had the richest cultivation resources. If he could control the dynasty, it would be more convenient to hunt other players in the future.
It's just that the emperor is not always able to see him when he wants to. In the process of trying to get close to the court, Li Zhiyi accidentally discovered that the Demon Detective Division seemed to want to rebel and had been planning for a long time.
PVP plots are generally not too complicated.
Past game experience allowed Li Zhiyi to instantly react. "Rebellion" is the plot line of this copy.
In other words, if he controls the emperor, he will have to face the formidable enemy of the Demon Detective Division in the future. In the worst case scenario, maybe he has just controlled the emperor and before he has time to enjoy it, the Demon Detective Division will rush up and fuck the emperor. No, the blood of the Sky Demon is completely useless.
So Li Zhiyi decisively changed his mind, went to Jian Zong, turned Ling Zixiao into his demon puppet, and used his status as the leader of Jian Zong to hook up with Da Tiansi and join the "rebel" army.
It doesn't matter whether you rebel or not, what matters is that you get through the early stages smoothly.
Whether it is the Sword Sect, the Monster Hunting Division, or the dynasty itself, they are all tools used to improve themselves.
As long as he's strong, doesn't he have the final say on how he wants to play?
Li Zhiyi had never appeared to the outside world before. Before his death, Ling Zixiao was still Ling Zixiao himself. If he wanted to increase his reputation, he had to take action himself.
Therefore, while secretly communicating with the Anti-Monster Division, he used the other party's connections with the Sword Sect to collect spiritual stones to improve his cultivation level, and did not even go to the saint to marry him.
In one year, he can completely rely on Ling Zixiao and the Demon Detective Division to obtain more training resources.
Facts have proved that his choice was not wrong.
Although Li Zhiyi did not seek marriage, it did not mean that he did not pay attention to the matter.
Not to mention whether he could beat Gu Chi at that time, Gu Chi had already captured the saint before he asked for his wife. Even if he killed Gu Chi and married the saint, his cultivation would not improve at all, and he would only be in vain. waste time.
On the other hand, Gu Chi, even with the help of the saint, his cultivation level is still much lower than him.
This is the advantage that talent brings.
It's a pity that Gu Chi couldn't be killed last time.
After Li Zhiyi became a saint, while adapting to the power of the saint realm, he waited for Gu Chi for a few days, but Gu Chi didn't come.
This guy relied on his unlimited teleportation to do whatever he wanted and arbitrarily snatched the spiritual stones of several major sects. Little did he know that this just ruined his chance of making a comeback.
Cultivation as an immortal is not just about fighting and killing, but also about being human and worldly.
So what if you forcibly ascend to the saint realm?
Do you have as many saints as I do?
What's more, he also has the Heavenly Demon Soul Refining Flag.
Since you can't wait for Gu Chi, then don't wait and just force him to show up.
It takes some time for your reputation to spread, plus you have to leave a month to deal with other players.
Li Zhiyi knew about Luo Qingshu's message to Gu Chi. Although he found out a little late and the people from the Demon Hunting Department didn't stop him, it wasn't a big problem.
He was now above the princess's mansion. The courtyard was empty and the concierge was locked, but Li Zhiyi knew that Luo Qingshu could hear him.
He said: "Her Highness Princess must have reminded Gu Changge not to come to Beijing?"
Xia Ling: "..."
This is really not the case.
With Gu Chi's character, if he stood by his side, then Gu Chi would come again no matter what, it was just a matter of whether he came sooner or later.
She had also heard a little bit about the outside world. After absorbing so many spiritual stones, Gu Chi should have become a saint by now.
Li Zhiyi sighed: "Gu Changge rejected Yu Qian time and time again, and you still think about him. It seems that Her Royal Highness really likes him."
Xia Ling remained silent.
She really likes Gu Chi.
"It's a pity it's useless. He will definitely come."
"Everyone has feelings. You are so beautiful and you are so kind to him. I don't believe that he is not moved at all."
Li Zhiyi paused and then said, "Tell me, if I kill you, will he be sad?"
Li Zhiyi thinks so.
In addition, wasn't Gu Chi's reputation for so long just to take the initiative at this time?
If those with low scores want to get first place, they must fight for those with high scores.
If he had a higher score than Gu Chi, and then spread the news that he wanted to kill Luo Qingshu, under double pressure, Gu Chi would have to come even if he knew that the capital had laid a trap.
Li Zhiyi raised his head, and with a thought in his mind, a vast spiritual power rushed out of him, turning into scarlet sword energy and rising into the sky. The aftermath of the ripples was like transparent water ripples, quickly spreading in all directions, and sweeping across the entire world in the blink of an eye. Beijing.
"This is... the realm of a saint?!"
Countless monks and common people in the city stopped, turned around, and looked at the continuous red light, their eyes full of surprise and uncertainty.
Perhaps the sense of oppression in the Saint Realm was too strong, and Xia Ling was not calm this time. She thought Li Zhiyi was going to kill her right now, so when she stepped away from her position, she couldn't hold it in any longer and sent a message directly to Gu Chi.
Almost at the same time, a system prompt popped up in front of Gu Chi.
[Fish in the Pond (Luo Qingshu): Gu Chi, save me! 】
Gu Chi: "???"
…
