My Cultivation Prowess Peaks after I Buried the Great Emperor's Corpse Chapter 84 - 84 Do You Want to be the Emperor?

Chapter 84 - 84 Do You Want to be the Emperor?

84 Do You Want to be the Emperor?

“This… How is that possible?”

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The old eunuch’s expression changed drastically when he saw Li Zangtian kill Chu Shanhe, who was at the peak of the Origin Return realm. His cold eyes were filled with shock and fear.

He was not the only one. Even Zhou Fengtian’s pupils contracted, and a boundless fear rose in his heart.

Chu Shanhe was at the peak of the Origin Return realm. Yet, he was actually killed by a single sword strike?

“This person’s strength is definitely above the Tribulation Transcendence realm!”

The two looked at Li Zangtian in horror.

At this moment, they no longer had their previous arrogance and superiority, which were replaced with endless panic and fear.

If Li Zangtian could kill Chu Shanhe with one strike, then he could kill them too.

Thinking of this, even though the old eunuch was filled with rage towards Lin Wudao, he did not dare to say anything more.

The two of them trembled non-stop.

It was obvious that they were both afraid that Li Zangtian would kill them in a fit of anger.

However, Lin Wudao had no interest in them.

Whoos.h.!.+

After a cold glance, he stretched out his hand and picked up the Imperial edict that the old eunuch had dropped on the ground. He then began to read it carefully.

“Treasonous? Lawless? And… A rebellious subject of the country? He even wants to capture me and bring me back to the capital of the Li Dynasty?”

Lin Wudao could not help but sneer coldly as he read the contents of the Imperial edict.

Thump!

Seeing this, the old eunuch was so scared that he knelt on the ground.

“Governor Lin, please spare my life. Please spare my life! This is His Majesty’s order. I am only acting on his orders.”

He kowtowed madly. His old face was filled with panic and fear.

“Ho? Wei Changtian wants to arrest me just because I killed the traitors from Heavenly Fragrance Brothel and the Gongsun family who hid a demon? What is he afraid of?”

“Governor Lin, you don’t know this, but the Heavenly Fragrance Brothel is… is a business under the Green Heaven Chamber of Commerce that is outside of Jiuzhou, and our Li Dynasty can’t afford to offend it. To avoid being questioned by the Green Heaven Chamber of Commerce, His Majesty wants to arrest you to calm the anger of the Green Heaven Chamber of Commerce…”

The old eunuch said in a trembling voice.

The Green Heaven Chamber of Commerce?

Lin Wudao’s lips curled into a cold smile when he heard the name.

As far as he knew, it was a huge monster.

The Chamber of Commerce had been around in the Green Heaven Region for more than 8000 years, and it was extremely powerful. It was a giant even among all the powers in the Green Heaven Region.

Naturally, a mere Li Dynasty could afford to offend it.

However, Lin Wudao had no fear at all.

“The Emperor is muddleheaded, which has caused the Li Dynasty’s power to decline day by day, billions of subjects and people to be at odds with each other, mountains and rivers to collapse, and demons to wreak havoc everywhere. It seems that Wei Changtian is not qualified to be the master of the Li Dynasty.”

Lin Wudao’s calm voice slowly said.

Ha!

Upon hearing this, the old eunuch and Zhou Fengtian immediately gasped.

At this moment, a terrifying thought emerged in their hearts.

Lin Wudao wanted to change the Emperor!

…

“What’s the strength of the strongest person in the Li Dynasty?”

Just as the two of them were lost in their thoughts, Lin Wudao’s calm voice rang out again.

“Governor, according to what I know, the most powerful people in the Li Dynasty are the old ancestors of the royal family and the first-rank guardians of the Imperial Guards Department. Both parties are in the Mahayana realm, and there are at least ten of them,” The old eunuch quickly replied.

The Mahayana realm?

Lin Wudao nodded.

Then, he fell into deep thought.

“I think that the Li Dynasty is so rotten that its people have no means of living. It’s time to change its master. Are you all willing to help me achieve my great cause?”

A moment later, Lin Wudao suddenly said.

What? Did he really want to usurp the throne and rebel?

The old eunuch was so frightened that his face turned white.

“Governor, you… You want to…”

“What, you’re unwilling?”

“I… I…”

“Since that’s the case, I won’t force you. Li Zangtian, kill him and feed his body to the dogs.”

“No, no, no, I’m willing. I’m willing to serve the governor as my master.”

The old eunuch was scared out of his wits when he saw Li Zangtian’s ominous aura.

He immediately began to kowtow madly.

Similarly, Zhou Fengtian, who was standing at the side, did not dare to resist.

“Li Zangtian, take the two of them down and make them sign the slave contract. Since they’ve acknowledged me as their master, they must show some sincerity.”

What? The slave contract?

Hearing this, the old eunuch and Zhou Fengtian turned pale with fright.

Once they signed the slave contract, they would be Lin Wudao’s slaves for the rest of their lives, never to turn the tables again.

“Governor…”

The old eunuch wanted to say something.

However, just as he was about to speak, he saw Lin Wudao’s fierce gaze sweep over, instantly scaring him into swallowing all his words.

After that, he was taken away by two fierce-looking mourners.

“Someone, bring Wei Chengqian over.”

“Yes,” Outside the door, a mourner bowed and acknowledged.

After he left, Lin Wudao took out the heaven burial bronze coffin and put Chu Shanhe’s body inside.

[Ding!]

[You have collected Chu Shanhe’s corpse and obtained an ancient Tribulation Transcendence realm puppet. After being the system’s tenfold enhancement, you have obtained an ancient Mahayana-realm puppet. ]

[Mahayana-realm Puppet: A battle puppet created by ancient weapon refiners with unique spiritual materials and special secret techniques. It has the combat power of the perfection of the Mahayana realm.]

[Remarks: Can only be used three times.]

…

Hmm? Chu Shanhe had such a good thing on him?

Lin Wudao was surprised to hear the system notification.

“This battle puppet shouldn’t have belonged to Chu Shanhe. It must be something he had come into contact with before. Otherwise, Li Zangtian’s sword attack wouldn’t have been able to kill him.”

A hint of enlightenment rose in his heart.

Boom!

With a thought, a three-meter-tall, mysterious puppet, wearing black armor and holding an ancient spear, appeared in the hall. It exuded a cold and fierce aura.

The moment it appeared, Lin Wudao felt a sense of pressure.

“Pretty good.”

Lin Wudao nodded to himself.

Thump, thump, thump…

Just as he was sizing up the battle puppet, Wei Chengqian uneasily entered the hall and kneeled in an extremely respectful manner.

“Greetings, Governor.”

He kowtowed heavily.

Seeing this, Lin Wudao nodded nonchalantly.

“Get up. I called you here today because I have something to ask you. Do you want to be the Emperor?”

Huh? Be the Emperor?

Suddenly hearing these words, Wei Chengqian’s entire person instantly froze on the spot.

He stared at Lin Wudao with a silly expression. This sudden surprise made him feel extremely terrified.

“Governor, you just said… that you want to let me be… The Emperor?”

After a long time, Wei Chengqian finally recovered from his shock and asked nervously.

To this, Lin Wudao smiled.

“Indeed. I already know your true ident.i.ty. You were originally the eighteenth Prince of the Li Dynasty, but you were driven out of the royal family after your Taixuan Sword Bone was dug out, and left to fend for yourself. Now, I want to choose a qualified Emperor for the Li Dynasty to regain control of the country. If you are willing, I can help you to the throne.”

“But I’m just a cripple. How can I be…”

“Heh, so what if you’re a cripple? If I say you can, then you can.”

The unquestionable voice shook the heart.

Upon hearing this, Wei Chengqian clenched his fists, and a glimmer of hope began to appear in the depths of his eyes.

“I will listen to the governor.”

Thump!

He knelt on the ground with utmost sincerity.

Upon seeing this, Lin Wudao smiled.

“Alright, get ready. In a while, you will be going to the imperial capital of the Li Dynasty with a guardian of the Imperial Guards Department. In addition, I’ll give you this Mahayana realm battle puppet to make sure you’re safe.”

Lin Wudao pointed at the black puppet at the side.
