On the fifteenth day of the tenth month in the ninth year of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Li Rubi ascended the altar outside of Nine Mountains City to worship the heavens. He was known as the "King of Nine Mountains."
Due to the lack of time and the fact that there was only one county, this crowning ceremony was rather simple and crude. Only a heavenly altar was built, and even the general's residence was not reorganized.
However, when Wu Ming saw Li Rubi wearing the twelve royal robes and ascending the altar to worship the heavens under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, he was too lazy to complain.
The Great Fur Crown was used by the True Dragon Son of Heaven to worship the heavens. It was equipped with twelve royal crowns, a great fur coat, and a black robe. The upper garment was embroidered with six chapters: sun, moon, stars, mountain, dragon, flower, and insect. The lower garment was embroidered with six chapters: seaweed, fire, pink rice, zongyi, fan, and fu. There was a total of twelve chapters, so it was also known as the twelve robes.
According to the rules of this world, the Son of Heaven had twelve chapters, the King had nine chapters, the Duke had seven chapters, the Earl had five chapters, the Son had three chapters, and the lowest Baron had one chapter.
Now, this Li Rubi used the rules of the Son of Heaven!
He knew that this person was once again tricked by Reverend Nanshan, but Wu Ming did not care. At the moment when Li Rubi ascended the altar to worship the heavens, the main shrine's prompt finally appeared in front of him.
Main mission: Establishing a system to be king! Within three months, help Li Rubi ascend to the throne and become king!
At this time, Li Rubi has already been proclaimed king. If he can persevere for seventy-two hours, it will be considered as completing the mission. He will be rewarded with two hundred great merits and allowed to return!
"Seventy-two hours, which is three days, to maintain Li Rubi's situation, at least he cannot be defeated and die, right?"
Wu Ming could not help but raise his eyes and look at the top of Li Rubi's head. There was an earth-shattering black aura and a purple aura that was already suppressed to the limit. He smiled bitterly. "This is very difficult!"
Rumble!
Just after Li Rubi worshipped the heavens, in an instant, dark clouds covered the sky and electric snakes danced wildly. After a while, heavy rain poured down.
"Congratulations, King! Congratulations, King! "
Reverend Nanshan stepped forward again. "When a dragon comes out, there will definitely be a storm! If a dragon wants to become a true dragon, it must soar to the Nine Heavens and endure the lightning tribulation. This is a great omen! "
Wu Ming, who had been drenched like a drowned rat, almost staggered when he heard this. He deeply felt that in terms of shamelessness and shamelessness, he was indeed inferior to this Southern Mountain Enlightened.
…
Li Rubi was also not an idiot. With a gloomy face, he boarded the palanquin, returned to the Commander's residence, and shut himself in.
It was obvious that he was in an extremely bad mood, and none of his subordinates were willing to get involved.
However, just because his subordinates didn't know how to do it didn't mean that others wouldn't.
Hearing the news of Li Rubi ascending to the throne and proclaiming himself king, Wang Xuanfan finally couldn't sit still anymore. He continuously mobilized the great army and attacked the Nine Mountains County. Along the way, they were like a hot knife through butter. By the 17th of the tenth month, they had already conquered the entire county and surrounded the last county city.
"A storm is brewing!"
In the darkness of the night, listening to the sounds of the enemy training outside, Wu Ming closed his eyes. It was as if he could see a continuous line of flags and a terrifying army.
"But … this mission is the first time I've observed the changes in fate at such a close distance, as well as the rise and fall of the Flood Dragon. There are so many benefits … I've gained a lot!"
Even after obtaining the Aura Gazing Technique, he still needed a real example to understand the uses of Dragon Energy.
Now, Wu Ming felt that he had gained a lot. At least, he was not afraid to operate the game himself.
"My lord!"
At this moment, He Zihai and Zhong Ting came in and bowed to greet him.
"How is it going?"
Wu Ming asked Niu Yong to stand guard outside and lowered his voice to ask.
"Reporting to my lord, we didn't hesitate to pay a lot of money to bribe the few lords on the opposite side. We have already opened a path and obtained a promise. As long as we open the city and surrender, they will let bygones be bygones. If we offer more …"
Zhong Ting looked in the direction of the Marshal's residence. His meaning was very obvious.
"As expected … the Marshal proclaims himself king. How unwise is it? Now, the imperial court must have his head …"
Wu Ming sighed faintly, but in his heart, he was thinking about something else.
"With the imperial court's weapon, it can actually bear this level of backlash for me …"
Daoists followed the dragon. From now on, with the help of Dragon Energy, their cultivation would certainly advance by leaps and bounds. However, if their fate collapsed, there would be a huge disaster immediately! If it was light, they would be seriously injured. If it was heavy, they would be directly punished by the heavens and be struck by lightning!
Wu Ming himself had a feeling.
Although he had obtained Li Rubi's fate and his cultivation had advanced greatly, breaking through to become a sorcerer in one go, the backlash was also terrifying.
According to Wu Ming's own senses, he was afraid that it was enough to destroy his Dao foundation.
Now that he had used the Taisui Evil Suppressing Talisman, even though it could suppress it for a month, the harm would double. At that time, there would even be heavenly lightning punishment! He would die without a burial place!
Although the main divine temple's escape method was useful, Wu Ming didn't know how effective it was.
Therefore, he still had to try his best to wear down this layer of evil energy backlash.
Relying on the imperial court of this world was one way.
After all, this bit of backlash was terrifying to him, but to the imperial court's weapon that ruled over the nine provinces, it was completely nothing.
"But … did you guys have an agreement to offer the city tonight?"
Wu Ming opened his spiritual eye and looked at the atmosphere. His expression was a little strange.
Zhong Ting and the others were shocked. "Without waiting for the commander to make a decision, how could we dare to make a decision on our own?"
"Oh!"
Wu Ming nodded. "Then you guys can go and prepare for the uprising now … The east gate will definitely be breached tonight. Those who don't want to rely on the imperial court can go to the west gate. There is still a chance of survival there!"
"There must still be people who are defecting!"
Zhong Ting and the others clapped their hands and stood up. They said solemnly, "We are willing to follow the general!"
It had to be said that Wu Ming's special technique was too frightening. It made them subconsciously and instinctively obey.
"Haha … if that's the case, I will definitely find a way out for you guys!"
As Wu Ming said this, he had a sense of confidence.
Immediately, he started to arrange and assign tasks. This was all secretly prepared beforehand, and now it was done in an orderly manner.
As soon as the generals went down, they heard the chaos at the east gate. Flames and shouts of killing rushed to the sky. There were also faint shouts of "the army is entering the city" and "those who surrender will not be killed." Their hearts couldn't help but shiver, and their footsteps quickened.
…
Inside the general's residence.
"Huh?"
Li Rubi was currently lying drunk on the high couch. Suddenly, his body quivered and he knocked over the wine goblet in his hand. When he heard the battle cries outside and saw the faint light of the fire, he was greatly shocked. "What happened?"
"Report!"
A guard came in, knelt on the ground, and reported, "Young Master Yu of Nan Shan's residence is rebelling. He brought his personal guards and opened the east gate to surrender … Your Majesty, leave quickly!"
"Young Master Yu … Nan Shan!!!"
Li Rubi clenched his teeth, and his eyes were red. "I want to kill! I want to kill them all, and exterminate their nine generations! Where are the personal guards? Go and kill the entire Nan Shan family! "
"Nan Shan Shan has disappeared long ago. The disciples under him have all disappeared without a trace!"
At this moment, a personal guard came in, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, my people are still guarding the west gate. There are another 100 cavalrymen. Leave quickly! If you are late, it will be too late! "
The shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. It was obvious that the soldiers in the city had directly given up on resisting and didn't enter the streets to fight.
Furthermore, there were even chaotic soldiers rushing over, as if they wanted his head to report for his achievements!
Li Rubi quivered and finally said, "Okay! We will leave now! "
Looking at the grand residence, he clenched his teeth again. "Pass down my order! Kill all my concubines and burn the entire residence to ashes! Do not let others have it easy! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
It had to be said that Li Rubi was indeed wise and powerful in the past. He had been giving favors for dozens of years, and he was extremely popular. Even now, there were still people willing to die for him.
After a moment, the general's residence was lit up with flames, and dozens of cavalrymen galloped out and headed towards the west gate.
…
The morning sun was shining brightly.
A group of soldiers fled in panic, yet they hurriedly hid deep in the mountains.
"Your Majesty! The mountains here are high and the forests are dense. If we hide for a while, we won't be afraid anymore! "
A guard used a helmet to hold clear water and went forward for Li Rubi to enjoy.
Li Rubi's hair was disheveled, and he licked his dry and cracked lips. Then, he looked to his side and saw that the people under him had followed him to break out of the encirclement, but they kept getting separated. Now, there were only 10 cavalrymen left.
He recalled that when he rose up in the past, he had tens of thousands of troops, and the imperial court was terrified. But now, the troops were defeated like a landslide, and there were only 10 people following him.
His chest couldn't help but be filled with sorrow. He took the helmet and ferociously drank a mouthful.
The cool and refreshing spring water entered his throat, and like a line of ice, it went straight into his stomach. However, Li Rubi quivered and became much more clear-headed. He looked at his surroundings and was somewhat doubtful. "This place … is deep in the mountains where my ancestral grave is located? Why did I come here in such a panic? "
However, at this moment, he couldn't help but sigh. "All of you, follow me to pay respects to the ancestors!"
In a daze, he felt that he should ask for forgiveness from the ancestors. As for what would happen next, it didn't matter if he committed suicide in front of the coffin to thank the ancestors, or if he concealed his identity and ended his life here.
Immediately, they continued forward and arrived at the location of the dragon vein.
"The green pines are still here, how many hardships have passed through?"
Looking at the top of the cave, the green pines were still like a canopy, yet they carried a bit of declining aura. Li Rubi couldn't help but sigh.
The group of people entered the cave and arrived at the tomb. Li Rubi's eyes turned red. "Who dares to do this?"
However, what he saw was a mess. Even his ancestral grave had been dug up.
In ancient times, burial was important. Digging up someone's ancestral grave was simply more hateful than the blood feud of exterminating a family.
"Tsk tsk … You finally came. In the end, your fate is still greatly damaged, and you can't escape from my divine technique!"
Swoosh swoosh!
Amidst the strange laughter, flying arrows were heard. The remaining few Fang soldiers and Fang generals were hit by the arrows and fell to the ground one after another. They breathed their last and died.
A stooped figure walked out from the darkness. His long and narrow eyes glowed with green light.
"It's you!"
Li Rubi recognized that this person was Nan Shan Zhenren, whom he worshiped as a military advisor. He couldn't help but say with grief and indignation, "I have always treated you well. Why are you like this?"
"Not treated? Hehe … My entire clan was exterminated by your hands. This kindness is indeed not small. I have to exterminate your entire clan in order to repay you! "
Nan Shan Zhenren's face was pale, yet he gritted his teeth and said.
"Exterminate your entire clan?" Li Rubi gritted his teeth and said, "Who exactly are you?"
"Tsk tsk … Who am I? Look again … "
Nan Shan Zhenren's voice became more and more dreary. His entire body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of smoke. The shape of his face also became long and narrow. His eyes glowed with green light, just like a fox.
"Fox! You are a fox demon! "
Li Rubi took three steps back. In a flash, a matter appeared in his mind.
