You have mastered the art of thunder and you tell me that it is in a strange world?

Chapter 373 Pseudo Emperor
When Zuo Chen heard the words "fake emperor", his mind was completely confused.

Could the fake emperor this young man is talking about be me?

No, no, no.

This name sounds like a derogatory term used by oppressed people to refer to the rulers. Zuo Chen does not consider himself a ruler, and he has no intention of becoming a tyrant. Why are you calling me that?

This is starting to sound weirder.

He casually deflected the attack from the young man in front of him and gently pushed him away. The young man immediately staggered and almost fell to the ground and kissed Mother Earth.

The young man lay on the ground, his face immediately showing seven parts of fear, two parts of despair and one part of a desperate feeling of "I'm going to fight you".

He rolled and crawled to his feet, and shouted directly to the outside:
"The false emperor is coming! Everyone, run! I'll stay here to cover your retreat!"

Immediately afterwards, he actually took out a few round objects from his waist, tore open the rings on them and rushed towards Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen felt a strong spiritual energy fluctuation coming from the person in front of him.

The thing in his hand looks like a grenade!

It’s still the pure spiritual version.

Has this timeline even developed this?
Just as he was about to take action to suppress him, the man in purple clothes next to him stepped forward lightly, stretched out his slender fingers, and pointed in the direction of the young man.

The violent spiritual energy from several grenades instantly rushed into Zi Yi's body.

And disappeared without a trace in an instant.

These so-called violent energies were nothing compared to the spiritual energy that washed through Fang Ark's body at that time.

It was all absorbed in the blink of an eye.

Outside, the crowd who heard the news gathered and dispersed like startled birds. Some people held weapons like burning coals and wanted to rush in, while others fled out of the palace in a hurry, trying to get on the car to escape.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, like chickens crowing and dogs jumping, and it was extremely chaotic.

Zuo Chen sighed helplessly and flicked his fingertips, covering the entire palace in an invisible protective barrier.

Those who originally wanted to run away were stuck inside the palace and no one could get out.

The ones running in the front were a man and a woman. They bumped into the transparent cover with two thuds. They fell backwards covering their heads in pain and lay on the ground screaming.

He came back to his senses, touched the invisible barrier in front of him, and despair slowly built up in his eyes.

This place has been blocked and they have no way to escape.

The remaining people have also arrived in front of Zuo Chen and Zi Yi.

Some people took out talismans, some took out swords, some took out things that looked like guns, and some simply started dancing and singing to the gods on the spot, and started throwing spells in the direction of Zuo Chen.

The picture is chaotic, the battlefield is chaotic, and the sound is chaotic.

Zuo Chen's head ached slightly from the mess.

Should I suppress all these people in front of me?

Zi Yi covered her mouth and chuckled:
"Master, it seems that you are not very popular in this world."

The corner of Zuo Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

Although anything is possible in the future, isn't it a bit too extreme to become a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to kill?

And at this moment, an old man holding a talisman in the crowd not far away tilted his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the man in purple.

His small eyes began to widen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his voice began to tremble uncontrollably:

"General...general?"

Zi Yi: “?”

Following his gentle call, everyone else also looked in the direction of Zi Yi.

A look of confusion appeared on their faces, and they all stopped attacking Zuo Chen.

Everyone stared at Zi Yi, and Zi Yi also stared at them.

Finally, Zi Yi stretched out his hand and pointed at his nose:

"I?"

……

A group of people found a clean table in the hall. Zuo Chen and Zi Yi sat on the left, and the rest sat on the right.

The vagrants carried weapons in their hands. They knew that these weapons could not hurt Zuo Chen, but they still placed their hopes on them. It seemed that only by holding weapons could they feel safe.

Of course, they focused more of their attention on Zi Yi who was not far away, their faces filled with a mixture of confusion and puzzlement.

She seemed to have absolutely no idea why she was here.

Zuo Chen stared at this group of people, his words stuck in his throat. He couldn't utter a word for a long time. Finally, he could only put his hands on his head and let out a long sigh.

"Although I don't know what's going on, I should not be the fake emperor you are talking about." Having said that, the people around him still showed indifference, and even seemed to be reluctant to answer.

Zuo Chen was about to say something else when the man in purple next to him stood up.

She looked around at the people around her with cold eyes:

"Tell us everything about the fake emperor. Don't lie or say anything nonsense. Do you understand?"

As soon as Zi Yi said this, the effect was obviously much better than Zuo Chen's. These people in worn windbreakers gathered together and discussed for most of the day. Finally, the old man who called Zi Yi the general just now came out:

He first bowed respectfully to Zi Yi and introduced himself:
"Sir, young lady, my name is Qian Hong, and I am the academic advisor of this team. I can tell that you two are not the general and... the fake emperor we know. I was too excited just now and offended you two. I am really sorry."

After the old man said this, he felt relieved when he saw that Zuo Chen and the others didn't react.

He adjusted his mood for a while and asked carefully:

"Would you please introduce yourselves first? Otherwise, I don't know where to start talking about this history."

Zuo Chen pondered for a moment and briefly introduced himself and Zi Yi's origins to the people in front of him.

When hearing Zuo Chen talk about "the future and the past" and "the long river of time", this group of people were all confused and puzzled.

A few young people with quick thinking could still understand it, but this old gentleman was completely confused and could not follow the train of thought.

Seeing this, Zuo Chen didn't want to say anything more, so he said: "Anyway, you can just treat us as others."

The old man also gave up asking questions.

He found a clean place to sit down, took out something that looked like a tablet from the big bag beside him, and while flipping through it, he began to recite this piece of history that Zuo Chen had never heard of.

After hearing this, Zuo Chen exclaimed that this history was wild enough.

……

The entire history is only the same at the beginning.

During the turbulent times in Daliang, a Taoist priest suddenly appeared from nowhere. He had extremely powerful skills and his cultivation was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Powerful, profound, and ever-changing methods.

Unlike Zuo Chen, the Taoist priest did not go to the north to look for Liu Xianwen at first, but went directly south to Yangzhou.

The Taoist stayed in Yangzhou for three years, during which time he seemed to have had some unclear relationships with Yangzhou's Xuan Wang, Li Yunxiu, and many strange and interesting stories were recorded in history.

According to the old man, although the Taoist priest and King Xuan had no relationship in the end, various "literary creators" still enjoyed creating many erotic articles in the past three years. Zi Yi was so excited when she heard this that she even wanted to get a copy to read immediately.

Zuo Chen was so frightened that he repeatedly grabbed the girl, asking her to be calm and cautious, think carefully, and not let her mental barriers blind her.

Three years passed without any disturbances, and then the whole country was in chaos. Daliang was completely plunged into the vortex of war. Its emperor Li Rongxian went mad and led the Black Knights to massacre the entire world.

The Taoist priest who was recuperating in Yangzhou went straight out of the mountain and went alone to fight against the black cavalry all over the world.

This battle left a profound mark in history, so profound that the old man in front of me slapped his thighs repeatedly when he talked about this historical knowledge, just like a storyteller telling a fairy tale:

"Although the fake emperor was not a good person, he was really capable. At that time, he lifted a mountain with one hand and crushed all the black riders in Kyoto to death, killing an entire generation. Then he strolled into the palace and slapped the then young emperor of Daliang, Li Rongxian, to death with a slap, and also slapped to death those rebels who had opinions about him.

"After dealing with the emperor of Daliang, the false emperor put on the dragon robe, ascended the throne, and managed the entire Daliang. From then on, he became the famous false emperor.

"He developed the incense for sending messages, he rebuilt the vehicles, he created the assembly line, he restored the previous cultivation techniques, and his achievements are too numerous to count. Many historians are willing to call the Taoists of this period the Wise King.

"But he is also extremely cruel and vicious. Anyone who does not follow his will will be killed by him, and anyone who questions his decision will also be slaughtered by him.

“The nobles and the common people could not escape his clutches. Anyone who questioned or denied him would be hung at the main entrance of the palace the next day for passers-by to see.

"He even started a festival called Hanging Day, saying it was to commemorate the people he hanged, and hemp rope was sold on that day."

Hearing this, Zuo Chen imagined a cruel tyrant in his mind - domineering, treacherous, and a little crazy, who regarded his own strength as a tool of power and ignored the suffering of all living beings.

Zuo Chen felt that based on his personality, he would not be able to do such beastly things.

But he really couldn't say for sure.

If it weren't for the Taoist heart that had been shaped over a long period of time in his past life, Zuo Chen would not be sure whether he could still maintain his original heart when faced with such a great temptation of power.

Maybe it will really turn out as the old man said.

The old man said this, and from time to time he glanced at Zuo Chen in fear, as if he was afraid that he would be unhappy. Seeing that Zuo Chen was thinking quietly and not saying anything, he calmed down a little and continued to talk about this somewhat wild official history:
The false emperor quickly established a strong foundation in Daliang, and his ambitions were no longer limited to Daliang.

But heading towards a wider world.

He began to send troops to deal with all the vassal kings who disobeyed him. In the face of powerful new weapons, the vassal kings were torn to pieces by the unstoppable army without even the emperor having to do anything.

Soon, he led his army to the northern fortress, directly defeated the northern army led by Li Ji, and took over the fortress.

And it was also here that the false emperor met his lifelong enemy.

That dark ocean.
