The two collided, producing a deafening sound that sent the surrounding airflow scattering in all directions.
The Venerable Wuzuo was forced to retreat repeatedly by this palm strike, his face as pale as paper.
He hadn't expected these young people to be so powerful, far exceeding his expectations.
"Although the Outer Heavens are powerful, they are not invincible."
Wang Yi pressed on relentlessly, giving Wuzuo Zunshi no chance to catch his breath. "Today, you will not be able to take Baili Dongjun away."
Knowing he had nowhere to escape, Wuzuo Zunshi's eyes flashed with a resolute look.
He gritted his teeth and his inner energy surged wildly, as if he wanted to self-destruct to find release.
"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!" Mingyue Xin was shocked and quickly warned everyone to retreat.
However, just as Venerable Wuzuo was about to unleash his inner energy, a figure appeared before him like a ghost.
He slapped his chest, forcibly suppressing the true energy within his body.
"Want to die? Did you even ask me?"
Li Chengtian's cold voice rang out. He had appeared in the center of the battlefield at some point, looking at the Venerable Wuzuo with an indifferent expression.
Envoy Wuzuo stared wide-eyed at Li Chengtian in disbelief: "You...who are you?"
"How dare you! You've come to see His Majesty, why don't you kneel down?"
A shout drifted from the sky.
In a short while, a dozen or so peerless masters descended from the sky.
Leading the group was Zheng Qiankun, who had just ravaged the world of Tianlong with Li Chengtian.
The others are Xiao Feng, Duan Yu, Xu Zhu, Linghu Chong, and others.
They stood behind Li Chengtian, ready to eliminate the Venerable Wuzuo at his command.
"Your Excellency? What Your Excellency?" Venerable Wuzuo looked completely bewildered.
Although he has stayed in the extremely cold land of Tianwaitian all these years, he has never set foot in Beili.
But he had never heard of a person called "Zun Shang" in Bei Li, or Nan Jue or Bei Man.
But the aura emanating from Li Chengtian was so terrifying that it made him feel suffocated, and his breathing became increasingly difficult.
“My esteemed master is the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom,” Mingyue Xin stepped forward and said in a clear voice, “How dare you, a mere Wuzuo Venerable Envoy from the Outer Heavens, be so insolent before the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom?”
Mingyue Xin's words carried an undeniable air of authority, her sharp gaze sweeping over Wuzuo Zunshi.
Wu Zuo Zunshi's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected to provoke such a powerful being.
The Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom? This name was both unfamiliar and shocking to him; clearly, he had underestimated the situation at hand.
"Emperor of Daqing... Hmph, do you think you can scare me like this?"
The Venerable Wuzuo tried to remain calm, but the tremor in his voice betrayed his inner fear: "The Outer Heavens never fear any challenge!"
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Mingyue Xin's lips curled into a playful smile.
She slowly extended her palm, and a powerful spiritual energy gathered in her palm, as if even the air began to distort. "Then I'll see just how much courage you outside the heavens have."
Sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from Mingyue Xin, Wuzuo Zunshi's face turned even paler.
If even a woman by the Emperor of Daqing's side is so powerful, then his own strength is unimaginable.
He had a premonition that this time he was doomed.
But at that moment, he suddenly had an idea and tried to make a last-ditch effort.
"Hmph, did you think I would come unprepared?"
Wu Zuo Zun Shi sneered, took out a signal flare from his pocket, and suddenly detonated it.
"Want to call for help? Too late." Mingyue Xin's eyes turned cold, and her figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
When he reappeared, he was in front of the Venerable Wuzuo. With a single finger, he sealed Wuzuo's acupoints, and the signal flare fell to the ground, failing to take off.
"you you……"
Wuzuo Zunshi stared at Mingyue Xin in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"What do you mean, 'what ...? If you're not satisfied, let's do it again.'" Mingyue Xin looked at Wuzuo Zunshi with a playful smile, and was about to finish this person off.
After all, he had spoken disrespectfully to His Excellency, and Mingyue Xin hated nothing more than those who disrespected His Excellency.
Just as Mingyue Xin was about to kill Wuzuo Zunshi, Li Chengtian immediately stopped her.
Then, he looked at the Venerable Wuzuo and said, "I will not kill you today, but I will give you a chance. Are you willing to submit to me?"
"Submit? On what grounds?" Wu Zuo asked.
“With my absolute strength,” Li Chengtian said, “I can lead you, the remnants of the Northern Kingdom, away from the extreme cold of the Outer Heavens and back to your homeland.”
"You...you really can?" Wu Zuo was unmoved when he heard Li Chengtian say this.
He vowed to follow Yuefeng City and Wuxiang Zunshi to the death, staying in Tianwaitian, hoping to one day return to his homeland.
But as time went on, he found it increasingly difficult.
Because Yuefeng City had been in seclusion for more than ten years, no one knew whether he was alive or dead.
Meanwhile, Bei Li's strength is growing day by day, and it is also backed by Li Changsheng, the number one person in the world.
In addition, a terrifyingly powerful force, the Emperor of Daqing, has suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Wu Zuo thought to himself that relying solely on the insignificant strength of Tianwaitian, there was absolutely no way he could return to his hometown.
However, if he agreed to Li Chengtian's request, it would be tantamount to betraying Tianwaitian.
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.
He had no choice but to turn his gaze to Yin Luoxia.
Just then, Li Chengtian's gaze fell on Yin Luoxia: "Yueyao, the princess of Beique, how long do you intend to hide your identity?"
"You... how did you know I was an imposter?" Yueyao was stunned. She thought she had impersonated Yin Luoxia perfectly.
But Li Chengtian saw through it at a glance.
She never expected that Li Chengtian was a time traveler who knew the plot inside and out, and was very familiar with her background and fate.
In the original drama, Yueyao died in Baili Dongjun's arms after taking a sword for her younger sister in the end.
This was one of the things that Li Chengtian had always found difficult to accept.
Revealing Yueyao's identity now is key to preventing future tragedies.
"How I know this is none of your concern. Princess Yueyao, are you willing to submit to me?" Li Chengtian asked Yueyao.
"If I submit to you, would you be willing to come with me to the Outer Heavens to save my father?" Yueyao asked.
She witnessed Li Chengtian's terrifying strength firsthand and knew that even Baili Dongjun, who did not have a natural martial vein, could save her father, Yuefeng City, as long as Li Chengtian was there.
Therefore, she took the initiative to state her conditions.
Li Chengtian smiled slightly and remained silent.
At this moment, Mingyue Xin understood and said to Yueyao, "As long as you can persuade Tianwaitian to surrender, the Venerable One can not only save your father, but also allow you to return to your homeland, Beique."
"Really...?" Yueyao asked.
"Your Excellency always keeps your word, so how can you talk about truth or falsehood?" Mingyue Xin asked instead of answering.
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of determination and hope flashed in Yueyao's eyes.
She knew that this might be the only chance to save her father and revive Beique.
So she slowly nodded and said to Li Chengtian, "I am willing to submit to you and do my best to persuade Tianwaitian to surrender. But please remember your promise: you must rescue my father."
Li Chengtian smiled slightly and nodded in satisfaction: "Princess Yueyao, your choice is wise. I, Li Chengtian, always keep my word, so you can rest assured."
Having said that, he turned to look at the Venerable Wuzuo beside him, his tone becoming serious: "Venerable Wuzuo, you now have two choices:
One option is to continue fighting me until I am annihilated; the other is to submit to me and together we will create a new era. Which will you choose?
After a moment of silence, the Venerable Wuzuo finally lowered his head slowly, his voice low and firm: "I...I choose to submit."
"Your subordinate Yueyao (Wuzuo) pays respects to Your Excellency!" Yueyao and Venerable Envoy Wuzuo knelt down together to pay their respects to Li Chengtian.
Li Chengtian nodded slightly, and Yueyao and Wuzuo stood up.
At this moment, Baili Dongjun and Wang Yixing also came over.
Baili Dongjun wanted to perform the ceremony, but Li Chengtian stopped him.
However, Li Chengtian's gaze was not on Baili Dongjun, but on Wang Yihang: "Wang Yihang, a disciple of Lü Suzhen of Wangcheng Mountain, can you be as loyal to me as they are?"
“I’m sorry, my master is a true immortal walking in this world. Since I have already become a disciple of Lü Suzhen, I cannot become a disciple of anyone else. I apologize.”
After Wang finished speaking, he turned to leave.
But Mingyuexin stopped her.
"You daring king, it is your good fortune that His Majesty has accepted you. How could Lu Suzhen compare to you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yixing paused, his brows furrowed, and he turned to look at Mingyue Xin, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "Miss Mingyue Xin, I respect your strength, but my decision to stay or leave should be made by myself."
