What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 53
Ascension Platform.
As time passed, the ministers and cultivators gathered around Li Ruowang grew fewer and fewer.
Countless people met a tragic end on the spot.
The thick smell of blood made the cultivators present frown slightly, but no one suggested leaving.
Because they were all waiting for one outcome: Who would become the next emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Whoever became the next emperor would be the one the sects would ally with.
However, judging from the current situation on the scene, the overall situation was decided.
After a round of assaults, the cultivators and soldiers reassembled around Li Ruowang numbered less than a hundred.
On Li Guanglu’s side, there were still thousands of people.
Moreover, two of the Four Southern Evils hadn’t made a move yet. They had been guarding Li Guanglu all along.
If they had also joined the battle, perhaps now there would be no one left by Li Ruowang’s side.
Seeing this situation, some cultivators had already begun to take out communication stones and report the situation to their sects.
In the area where the Azure Cloud Sect disciples were located, Yun Roumu’s brow furrowed in anxiety.
Not long after Ye Yu found out that the cultivators couldn’t intervene, he disappeared without a trace.
This really worried Yun Roumu.
Ye Yu, oh Ye Yu.
Your realm is still shallow, and the wars of human emperors are not something you can meddle in. Don’t do anything foolish!
Yun Roumu squinted slightly.
She released her spiritual awareness to observe her surroundings, trying to find out Ye Yu’s whereabouts.
But no matter how she searched, she couldn’t find him.
So she took out a search paper crane from her storage ring and discreetly threw it out.
A white paper crane floated away, beginning to search for Ye Yu’s whereabouts.
Yun Roumu had already made up her mind. Even if Ye Yu really broke the rules and got involved in the struggle for human emperors, then she would spare no effort to protect his life.
Even if it meant tearing apart her relationship with the new emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, she would not hesitate!
Meanwhile, at the Ascension Platform, Li Guanglu’s face was full of pride.
He shouted loudly, “The overall situation is settled! Now, those who surrender will be pardoned.”
“Otherwise, there will be no place for them to be buried!”
These words were the final straw that broke the camel’s back for Li Ruowang’s alliance. Immediately, more than a dozen ministers and cultivators rushed towards Li Guanglu’s camp.
Their departure once again reduced the available power around Li Ruowang.
Hearts were in turmoil.
Many cultivators began to look around nervously.
They were all servants of the Great Qian Dynasty. They had indeed received a lot of favors from Li Ruowang before.
But loyalty to the king and serving the country were clearly not concepts that suited them.
They were just servants. As long as one has strength, they can receive good treatment anywhere.
Therefore, after three more cultivators turned around and bowed to Li Ruowang, they left straight away.
Ye Liangyan roared, “Traitors, all of you are traitors! A bunch of ungrateful wolves!”
Several civil officials echoed his condemnation.
But now, such behavior could only be described as impotent rage.
Empress Li Ruowang appeared incredibly calm.
She said softly, “If anyone else wants to leave, they can do so now.”
Upon hearing this, the people around hesitated for a moment. Then, several more individuals left one after another.
Li Ruowang looked towards Ye Liangyan’s direction. She calmly said, “Are the rest of you not leaving?”
During this period of time, Li Ruowang hadn’t been particularly friendly towards Ye Liangyan, a prominent minister.
Mainly because of the dream she had.
There was no shortage of greeting this man as “father-in-law” in the dream. As a result, Ye Liangyan had suffered quite a bit.
Therefore, in Li Ruowang’s view, there was a possibility that Ye Liangyan might leave as well.
But to her surprise: Ye Liangyan took a step forward, tucking his official robe into his belt. Then he drew a sword from the waist of a soldier next to him.
He declared loudly, “Empress, please refrain from speaking such words again. Though we are scholars with modest cultivation levels, We also have our dignity.”
“We understand this principle: ‘A minister dies for his sovereign’s dishonor’ and are loyal to serve the country!”
“Die for sovereign’s dishonor! Loyal to serve the country!”
The remaining dozen or so civil officials echoed firmly.
Their eyes were filled with determination.
They were not without strength. Each of them possessed cultivation.
It’s just that their realm is not high.
But at this moment, the words ‘integrity’ and ‘spirit’ were vividly embodied in them. These civil officials were ready to fight to the death.
The cultivators and soldiers naturally did not want to appear weak either. In unison, they shouted, “For the Great Qian Dynasty, we fight to the death!”
“To the death!”
The camp that was about to collapse once again burst forth with an unstoppable momentum.
Li Ruowang felt waves of ripples in her heart.
She then stepped forward calmly, and loudly declared, “This farce should come to an end now. Kill them all!”
These words left everyone present feeling confused.
What exactly did Li Ruowang mean?
The next moment…
Half of the cultivators standing behind Li Guanglu immediately bowed and said, “We obey the Empress’s orders!”
Afterwards, they immediately began slaughtering those around them.
Not only that, in the northeast corner of the Ascension Platform, six figures in gray robes appeared and activated a teleportation array.
Once the array was set, royal attendants began emerging from it continuously.
The situation on the field instantly turned upside down.
Seeing this, Li Guanglu’s mind was greatly shaken.
He immediately understood everything.
Most of the cultivators under his command were loyal to Li Ruowang.
Did this not mean that she had known about his actions long ago?
And just now….it was all a charade.
The second among the Southern Four Evils, Jie Chi, sighed and said, “Your Highness, let’s go. Staying here any longer would be very dangerous!”
Li Guanglu sighed bitterly and lowered his head.
His eyes revealed boundless unwillingness.
Li Ruowang, this woman, was truly terrifying. Unbeknownst to him, she had planted so many hidden moves around him.
Her methods far surpassed those of his royal brother, the previous emperor.
Even if he left this place, where else would he be safe?
Li Guanglu refused to admit defeat and still wanted to make a final attempt.
“Southern Four Evils, follow me to kill Li Ruowang. I will appoint you as the Grand Advisors of the Great Qian Dynasty!”
Li Guanglu’s plan was simple: if Li Ruowang died, there would still be room for maneuver.
Jie Chi and Jie Man immediately rushed forward with Li Guanglu.
However, they both overlooked one thing.
Although Li Ruowang was a woman, was she an ordinary person?
Without cultivation, how could she possibly have taken control of the Great Qian Dynasty?
On this day, within the Ascension Platform, countless dragon roars echoed.
The cultivators from more than ten Immortal Sects were all stunned.
The Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty turned out to be a peak-stage cultivator in the Integration Realm!
…
In the forest, Jie Tan looked at the masked man on the tree trunk.
A look of confusion appeared on his massive face.
With his peak-stage Divine Transformation cultivation, he could clearly sense it.
The masked man before him at most had the cultivation of Nascent Soul.
But the sheer power and grandeur of the sword technique just now were overwhelming. It could easily transcend realms, instantly slaying Jie Chen, also at the peak of Divine Transformation.
Such terrifying power.
This guy’s martial arts must be extremely superior, not to be underestimated.
However, the disparity in realms couldn’t be easily overcome.
As long as he wasn’t caught off guard, in a direct confrontation, Jie Tan didn’t believe he would lose to a cultivator of the Nascent Soul realm.
Even if this cultivator possessed peerless techniques!
No way!
Jie Tan snorted coldly.
His massive hand formed seals, then he roared loudly.
All the spiritual beasts within a thousand miles converged towards him.
Their eyes were blood-red, appearing incredibly eerie.
Thanks for the chapter
