Huh?
That was a familiar scene.
Li Mu suddenly remembered the story of Uncle Liu leaving his son in White Emperor City.
Unfortunately, the emperor was not Uncle Liu.
And Li Mu was not Zhuge Kongming.
Li Mu said calmly, "Your majesty, don't worry. I can make a vow that I will never touch the power of the Emperor Cliff."
"Cough cough cough …" The emperor coughed and said, "I … I am not trying to trick you. I … I have no power in this chaotic world. Sooner or later … Sooner or later … I will die … Brother Mu, if you become the emperor, maybe … you can protect my bloodline … I …"
Li Mu said, "I understand your majesty's meaning. But my words are still the same. I will never touch the power of the emperor. Prince Son will be a wise emperor."
The Emperor heaved a sigh and said, "I understand … All … Leave … Brother Mu, I still have something to say to you."
Everyone in the Emperor Level Palace retreated.
Only Li Mu and the emperor were left.
The emperor was panting and looked extremely tired.
Li Mu flicked his finger and injected a strand of Solar Energy into the emperor's body.
The emperor instantly felt a little relieved.
But he also understood that this couldn't completely get rid of the poison in his body. It was just the last radiance of the setting sun.
"In my letter yesterday, I didn't mention Zheng Yuan and the empress." The emperor looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu said, "Zheng Yuan and the empress conspired to humiliate your majesty and tried to kill your son. They deserve to die. If we don't get rid of them, Prince Son will not be able to fulfill his ambitions in the future. So, I acted on my own accord."
"The Gao family helped me a lot when I ascended the throne." The emperor added.
Li Mu said, "The Gao family will be the next Zheng family. Gao Shengwei's disrespect to your majesty has been shown clearly."
"Is Prince Zhen really a descendant of the Zheng family?" The emperor asked again.
Li Mu said, "Maybe."
The emperor was speechless.
He didn't understand so he didn't ask again.
In a daze, the Emperor thought of the death of Marshal Zhou Kefu.
At that time, Mu Mu was also decisive and made decisions for him.
Shi Mu couldn't tell if Mu Mu was loyal to him, or if he was just trying to live up to his own ideals.
But no matter what, he was very grateful to Mu Mu.
Because it was this person's existence that allowed the Extreme King Cliff to be reborn when it was about to be destroyed. It was also this person that gave him the ability to take revenge when his dignity as an emperor was insulted. It was also this person that allowed him to not be nailed to the pillar of shame.
"I suddenly feel so tired."
The Emperor said calmly.
Then, he leaned against the dragon throne, as if he was about to fall asleep.
"Mu Mu, I don't regret meeting you."
The Emperor said in a daze.
Li Mu's heart did not waver. He just stood there quietly.
After the time it took for a stick of incense to burn, the Emperor stopped breathing.
The disease was beyond cure, and the poison had entered his Primordial Spirit.
Back then, the poison that the eunuch Li Sun used came from Ganlin Mountain. It could kill a Golden Immortal with ease. It was already a miracle that the Emperor could hold on until now. He had been holding on with his last bit of willpower throughout the court meeting. Now that the storm had passed, there was no need to hold on anymore.
As soon as he relaxed his mind, death followed.
Li Mu stood still for a moment and then turned to leave the imperial palace.
At the entrance of the hall, the officials were waiting anxiously.
As soon as Li Mu came out, all eyes were focused on him.
"His Majesty has passed away."
Li Mu said.
Immediately, there was a burst of crying outside the imperial palace.
The officials were all pounding their chests and stamping their feet in grief as if their father had died.
Servant Yin's expression was a little blank.
The man who influenced her life suddenly died. She could not figure out what kind of mood she was in.
But one thing was for sure, it was not love.
There was no sadness.
She just felt … she was still at a loss as before.
After all, for so many years, whether that man was alive or dead didn't seem to make much difference to her.
Prince Son stood there in a daze.
His mood was similar to his mother's, but a little sad.
Li Mu looked at Yang Jia in the crowd.
Yang Jia's heart trembled and he quickly lowered his head.
Today, with just a few words, Li Mu directly erased Zheng Yuan, Gao Shengwei, and the Gao and Zheng families of the four major families from the territory of the Extreme Emperor Cliff. His murderous intent and decisiveness had already made all the ministers tremble with fear.
Including Yang Jia.
The only thing that Yang Jia was glad about was that he didn't send an assassin to assassinate Maid Yin last night, and he also didn't join forces with the Gao and Zheng clans to seize the throne. Otherwise, the Yang clan would be the same as the Gao and Zheng clans.
"Lord Yang, you shall be in charge of the new emperor's ascension."
Li Mu said.
Yang Jia was startled for a moment, then secretly rejoiced and hurriedly said, "This subject obeys."
Being in charge of the coronation of the new Emperor, he could be considered one of the ministers. As long as he performed well, he would definitely become a trusted aide of the new Emperor in the future. This could also be considered as climbing up the high branch of Prince Mu.
No, he couldn't be called Prince Mu anymore.
He had to be called the Imperial Preceptor.
The teacher of the current emperor.
…
…
The process of a new emperor ascending the throne was tedious and lengthy.
Not long after the funeral of the old emperor, the nine-year-old Prince Chen ascended to the throne and was given the title of King of Chen. His mother, Maid Yin, was given the title of Empress Dowager Yin and took charge of the palace.
And Li Mu was officially promoted from Prince Mu to Imperial Preceptor.
Because of Li Mu's teacher, the process of King of Chen ascending the throne was very smooth. No one dared to defy him. All the ministers expressed their loyalty at once.
However, King of Chen was too young and neglected to be taught since he was a child. Not only was his strength weak, but his cultivation was also ordinary. He knew nothing about the affairs of the court at all. It was hard for him to even pretend to be the emperor.
At this time, Yang Jia's role showed.
His sister was the former Emperor's wife, who had a high status in the imperial harem. Yang Jia took the initiative to befriend Maid Yin and helped her in all aspects. As for Yang Jia himself, he played the role of the minister in charge of the Emperor's affairs to the fullest. Together with the other old ministers in the court, he helped King of Chen manage the affairs and was responsible for teaching the young emperor.
The Extreme Emperor Cliff was running in an orderly manner.
The young emperor would sit in the Palace of Counsel for four hours every day to learn how to deal with the affairs. Then, he would spend the rest of the time with Li Mu to practice magic arts.
What Li Mu taught him was the royal Cultivation Method of the Extreme Emperor Cliff, the Nine Levels of Immortal Cultivation Method of the Extreme Emperor Cliff. Theoretically, it was a Cultivation Method of the Immortal General Level, but it was incomplete, so in fact, it could only reach the peak of the Golden Immortal Level.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.
On this day, Xia Jing, the Bliss Fairy, came to Li Mu again.
"The Chaotic Killing Fog outside the Si Ming Immortal Mansion will disperse in another ten days. The exploration teams of the major forces have already arrived at the site and are ready to go. It's time for you to set off, isn't it?"
Xia Jing said.
Li Mu calculated the time and found it would take only three days to set off from the Extreme Emperor Cliff to the Si Ming Mountain. He was not in a hurry. Then, he thought of another thing and asked, "Can anyone enter the site of this kind of immortal mansion to explore?"
Xia Jing heard that and said with a charming smile, "How is it possible? Only disciples of the member sects of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals or rogue cultivators who have been recognized by the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals are qualified to enter. As the saying goes, all the land in the world belongs to the king, and all the people who live in the land are the subjects of the king. The Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals attaches great importance to this point. All the relics and mineral resources in the whole immortal world belong to the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals in name. Ordinary rogue cultivators and some unidentified people are not qualified to explore them at all. "
Li Mu kind of understood.
But that was not a problem for him.
Because he was now the imperial preceptor of the Extreme Emperor Cliff.
And the Extreme Emperor Cliff was a member of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals.
With his current identity, it should not be difficult for him to get the qualification to enter the site.
"You said before that Fang Tianyi, the Sword God under the command of the Blade and Sword Shenhuang, also wants to enter the site. But this person is a rebel. How can he get in?" Li Mu asked again.
Xia Jing giggled and said, "Do you think there is no infiltration of the rebel army in the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals? Some sects are members of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals on the surface, but they are branches of the rebel army in secret. Fang Tianyi has thousands of incarnations and is elusive. As long as he wants to go in, he has a way. "
"Holy crap."
"The rebel army turns out to be so powerful?"
Li Mu thought the rebel army of the three major factions was just a group of poor people hiding in the central broken chaotic area. He did not expect that their tentacles had reached so far.
"What is Fang Tianyi's cultivation?" Li Mu asked.
Xia Jing thought for a moment and said, "These years, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals has spent a lot of energy and sent several immortals, but still failed to kill him. What do you think his cultivation should be?"
Li Mu sucked in another cold breath.
"Damn.
Is he so powerful? "
He suddenly felt that he seemed to have underestimated the strength of Ding Hao, the Sword-Saber Sage-Emperor.
Fang Tianyi was just a general under Ding Hao's command, but he had a cultivation that even an immortal couldn't do anything to. Then, didn't Ding Hao himself kill an immortal in seconds?
He was unbelievably powerful.
"No, if Fang Tianyi's strength is so amazing, he shouldn't be interested in the Four Brightness Immortal Mansion. After all, the peak combat strength of the Four Brightness Immortal King was only half a step to the immortal realm, which was not as good as Fang Tianyi."
Li Mu frowned and keenly noticed the problem.
Xia Jing giggled and said, "The Four Brightness Immortal Mansion is well preserved. It has been plundered by the Four Brightness Immortal King for countless years. It's a huge fortune. Even the young immortals of the Immortal Courts in the Cao Chuan Prefecture, Yuechuan Prefecture, Clear River Prefecture, and more than a dozen other prefectures are tempted. Fang Tianyi doesn't need it, but the others in the rebel army do."
Li Mu nodded and understood a little.
"No matter how high one's cultivation is, it's his own business."
"Once it comes to" supporting one's family ", one has to find a way to do a few big things."
"After all, in the central area of the Chaos, there are barren mountains and unruly rivers. If the rebel army wants to improve its strength, it needs all kinds of resources and provisions. Everyone has to eat and drink. Just based on their ideals, they have to fight day and night."
Xia Jing winked again, smiled lazily, and said, "What's more, according to some gossip, there is a bottle of top-notch Immortal Marrow in the Four Brightness Immortal Mansion. It is said that it was refined from the spinal cord of a common lord of the Immortal Realm before the collapse of the immortals. This is a precious resource. Only a drop of it can directly improve the cultivation of anyone under the Immortal Emperor by a big realm. Do you think Fang Tianyi doesn't even care about this kind of precious treasure?"
"D * mn!"
"There is such a treasure?"
Only then did Li Mu realize how amazing the so-called Immortal Marrow was.
"No wonder Xia Jing specifically mentioned the Immortal Marrow in the last conversation. Unfortunately, Li Mu didn't catch this detail at that time."
