The Rebirth of the Immortal Emperor: I am the Lord

Chapter 559: Taking advantage of the situation and sweeping the thunder

In Beihuang, the names of Yanhuang Empire and Ye Tian became even more well-known because of the coalition forces of the three empires attacking the Yanhuang Empire. In a war where everyone believed that the Yanhuang Empire was doomed to lose, the Yanhuang Empire not only demonstrated its extraordinary strength and wisdom, but also announced to the world the rise and inviolability of the Yanhuang Empire in a mysterious and cruel way.

However, for Ye Tian, ​​this victory was just a small step in his grand blueprint. He knew that the real challenge was still ahead. Although the three empires were seriously injured, their foundation was still there. In the face of life and death and interests, their fire of revenge would inevitably burn fiercely; and although the three major sects were hidden behind the scenes, Ye Tian knew that they were also jumping up and down, staring at him like a wolf, and would never easily let go of any opportunity to kill him.

Therefore, Ye Tian did not indulge in the joy of victory, but quickly summoned the Yanhuang Guards and the empire's high-level officials to discuss the next strategic deployment. He wanted to ensure that the Yanhuang Empire could move forward steadily on the basis of victory and eventually become the true overlord of the Northern Wilderness and even the entire fairy world.

While the three empires and the three leading sects were still in shock and had not yet caught their breath, wondering what to do next, Ye Tian struck while the iron was hot and quickly gathered an army of five million to sweep through the cities of the Thunder Empire with lightning speed.

Ye Tian's far-sighted strategic vision and decisive actions quickly set off a storm in the Northern Wilderness. Every step he took seemed to be carefully calculated, aiming to completely change the existing power structure.

As the five million troops swept across the Thunder Empire like a black torrent, Ye Tian not only demonstrated his powerful military strength and ability to mobilize soldiers, but also cleverly took advantage of the Thunder Empire's weaknesses of severe losses and unstable foundations in previous battles. This sudden offensive caught the Thunder Empire off guard and was completely unable to resist. In a short period of time, it lost a large area of ​​territory. What made Lei Zhen even more angry was that wherever the Yanhuang Empire's army went, countless cities actually took the initiative to open their gates, as if welcoming a hero's triumphant return, and welcomed the Yanhuang Guards into the city, without taking him, the lord of the empire, into consideration. Even if there were a few city lords who were unwilling to let their cities fall into Ye Tian's hands, they were suppressed by the Yanhuang Guards with thundering means, leaving no room for resistance.

Especially the ordinary poor people of the Thunder Empire. Just as the three empires and those ancient forces worried, they did not resist the arrival of the Yanhuang Empire's army at all. Instead, they sang and danced and celebrated as if they saw hope. This made the three empires and those ancient forces in the Northern Wilderness feel uneasy and sensed a huge crisis.

However, facing Ye Tian and the Yanhuang Empire, which were at their peak at the moment, they did not dare to act rashly. After all, the shadow of the three empires' mighty and powerful armies of tens of millions being instantly destroyed by the Yanhuang Empire in a mysterious, bloody and cruel way had not yet dissipated, and no one was willing to take the lead in touching and taking that unknown risk. Because no one knew what kind of power was hidden behind Ye Tian.

While many forces were trembling with fear, trepidation, and anxiety, the Yanhuang Guards took advantage of the situation and pursued the victory with unstoppable force. In less than a month, Lei Zhen saw that the empire he had carefully planned, worked hard, and devoted his life's efforts and strategies to seize was occupied by Ye Tian's Yanhuang Empire. Seeing that the Lei Ting Empire was about to collapse, his throne was about to change hands. In panic, anger, and despair, Lei Zhen had to ask for help from Tianyuan Immortal Palace in person.

Outside the gate of Tianyuan Immortal Palace, Lei Zhen, accompanied by several loyal guards, held a carefully prepared gift in his hands, and set foot on the road to the supreme sect in the Northern Wilderness with a solemn face. Every step he took seemed particularly heavy, as he was filled with nostalgia for the past glory and helplessness and unwillingness to the current situation.

The mountain gate was majestic and surrounded by clouds and mist, as if it was a natural barrier between heaven and earth, isolating the hustle and bustle of the secular world from the tranquility of the fairyland. Lei Zhen looked up at the towering mountain gate, and an indescribable complex emotion suddenly surged in his heart.

Lei Zhen had been here before, but at that time, he came here with the late emperor Li Daoji. However, things are unpredictable, and now things have changed. He knows that behind this door, there may be the last hope of his Thunder Empire, but it may also be just an empty hope, or even a severe punishment for his treason.

After all, Lei Zhen also knew that the backer behind the Li Dynasty was Tianyuan Immortal Palace. It can be said that without Tianyuan Immortal Palace, there would be no Li Dynasty. However, he rebelled behind the back of Tianyuan Immortal Palace, not only killing all the descendants of the Li family, but also seizing the world of the Li family, and even changing the dynasty and the name of the empire. Although he had done all this with thundering means and clever whitewashing, he attributed the occurrence and culprit of all this to Ye Tian. However, he also knew that paper could not cover fire after all, and the seemingly perfect means and strategies still had flaws and loopholes.

He also understood that although he had pinned the blame for the tragic changes that befell the Dafeng Empire on Ye Tian, ​​making Ye Tian bear the blame for him, the one who ultimately benefited and became the emperor was him, Lei Zhen. Even though all the eyewitnesses had been killed by him, such a thing could not stand up to scrutiny because it was simply illogical and anyone with a discerning eye could tell whether it was true or false with a little analysis.

Of course, he had never thought of hiding it forever, he just wanted to use the power in his hands to write history to cover up the truth of history. He thought, as long as the foundation of his Thunder Empire was solid, who would care what means he used to seize the throne, and who would dare to question his imperial power?

However, he thought that the hidden power of the Li Dynasty would counterattack after knowing the truth, and that the Tianyuan Immortal Palace might have an opinion on his master-devouring behavior, and even intervene or punish him. But he thought that by then, the matter was already done, and the change of the world of the Dafeng Empire was a fait accompli. Although the Tianyuan Immortal Palace must be looked up to. But as long as he sincerely apologized and paid tribute regularly like the previous Dafeng Empire, he would be able to get away with it and even regain the support of the Tianyuan Immortal Palace without interfering too much in the management of the secular world. But he never expected that the Yanhuang Empire established by Ye Tian would become so powerful in a short period of time! It was even so powerful that it frightened and scared them, as if they had no power to fight back.

Facing such a small emerging empire as the Yanhuang Empire, the coalition forces of the three empires, with tens of millions of men, were destroyed in such a short time that they didn't even know how the war was fought! The only thing they could see was the result of the complete destruction of the coalition forces of the three kingdoms and the cold corpses all over the mountains. Such a shocking and incredible result was something they could not understand at all.

Especially Lei Zhen. As the former mighty general of the Dafeng Empire, he had experienced hundreds, if not thousands, of wars, large and small. Even if there were formations and traps to assist in the war, who had the ability to set up formations and traps that could encompass an army of hundreds of millions?

With an uneasy mood, Lei Zhen put aside his imperial airs and walked towards the gate of Tianyuan Immortal Palace.

As Lei Zhen and his party approached, the disciples guarding the mountain gate cast scrutinizing glances at them. The two majestic fairy beasts on the left and right showed vigilant eyes and let out a few low roars, as if telling Lei Zhen and his party, "This is a sacred place for the immortals. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter. If anyone offends you, you will not be able to return, and your body will be destroyed..."

Although they were disciples guarding the gates of Tianyuan Immortal Palace, they had extraordinary cultivation and extraordinary temperament. Seeing this, Lei Zhen took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and tried to make his demeanor appear more solemn and sincere.

"Who are you?" Seeing Lei Zhen and others approaching, a guard disciple immediately asked, his words were solemn and cold, and there seemed to be no emotion in his voice.

Hearing this, Lei Zhen was shocked and quickly bowed and said, "I am Lei Zhen, the emperor of the Thunder Empire."

"Oh! You are the Lei Zhen who killed his master and seized power. Why don't you just be the emperor? Why do you come to my Tianyuan Immortal Palace?" There was a trace of disdain in the eyes of the guard disciple. His voice was cold and majestic. He did not have any respect for the fact that he was the current emperor of the Thunder Empire.

Hearing this, Lei Zhen's heart tightened. He originally thought that the perfect conspiracy would not be discovered so quickly, and since he seized the world of the Dafeng Empire, the Tianyuan Immortal Palace did not intervene or ask about it. It turned out that they were not unaware, but just turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear!

However, seeing that the disciple's words were unkind, but there was no hostility in his eyes, Lei Zhen felt relieved. He bowed slightly and replied respectfully, "Master, you are too kind. I... Lei Zhen's actions may be inappropriate, but they are all for the consideration of the people of the Thunder Empire. In order to resist foreign enemies, reduce wars, make the Immortal Court permanent, and allow the people to live and work in peace, I had no choice but to do so."

"Okay! Lei Zhen, you don't need to explain here. Tianyuan Immortal Palace is a holy place for cultivation and will not care about those trivial matters in your mortal world. Tell me, why do you come to Tianyuan Immortal Palace?" The guards of Tianyuan Immortal Palace seemed to have no mood to listen to Lei Zhen's explanation, but Lei Zhen was the emperor of the Thunder Empire after all, so he had to ask the reason for his visit.

Hearing this, although Lei Zhen was somewhat displeased, he did not dare to get angry, and had to get straight to the point, saying: "Master, as for my visit to Tianyuan Immortal Palace this time, it is actually to pay a visit to the Palace Master Nangong, and to ask for an important matter. This is a small gift prepared for the Immortal Palace, I hope you will accept it." As he said that, he signaled the guards to present the generous gift.
