The sudden and deep voice caught everyone's attention.
Immediately, a terrifying pressure swept over.
Li Beixiong, the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders, Gao Shun, and Li Ergou were all shaken back.
Qin Yun, who was surrounded, instantly retreated.
Buzz...
A figure exuding a terrifying aura appeared beside Qin Yun.
"It's you!"
"You're actually not dead!"
Li Beixiong looked at the person's face in front of him, unable to hide his astonishment.
The person who appeared was Qin Yue.
"Gasp... It's actually the former emperor!"
"The former emperor is still alive..."
"What exactly happened..."
..."
The onlookers from afar, the common people, were also greatly shocked when they saw Qin Yue wearing the imperial robe.
As for the civil and military officials in the palace who were observing, their faces were filled with fear.
With the old emperor no longer around, they couldn't help but feel anxious about their actions.
"Hahaha..."
"Beiliang King, didn't expect this, huh?!"
"My father, the emperor, is still alive!"
"Let me tell you the truth, my father has already broken through to the Return to Ruins realm!"
"Your time of death has come!"
Qin Yun laughed maniacally, looking at Li Beixiong and Li Luo as if he was looking at a pile of dead bodies.
Li Luo smiled faintly, ignoring Qin Yun and instead quietly gazing at Qin Yue.
As expected, it was just as he had expected.
Qin Yue had initially faked his death to deceive the world's attention.
His previous concerns were not unfounded.
The reason he didn't let Zhao Dezhu and the others take action earlier was to wait for Qin Yue, this big fish, to reveal himself.
The fluctuations caused by Zhao Dezhu and the others' actions could easily alert the enemy.
Once Qin Yue didn't show up...
It would be extremely difficult for them, the Beiliang faction, to root out Qin Yue after they unified Liyang.
Perhaps Qin Yue would become their trouble in the future.
When Li Beixiong in the void heard Qin Yun's words, his face couldn't help but show a strange expression.
Return to Ruins realm?!
Sorry, including his eldest son.
The Beiliang faction had a total of five Return to Ruins realm powerhouses.
Therefore, people like Li Beixiong and Li Ergou who knew the inside story were not afraid at all.
"Beiliang King, you've disappointed us!"
"I valued you so much, but I didn't expect you to rebel and betray me!"
"The rebellion of King Qi, King Wu, and King Jin was within my expectations. After all, I had long known of their rebellious intentions. But I never doubted you, and I even let you command the elite Beiliang Iron Cavalry. Why did you betray me?"
Qin Yue stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Li Beixiong in front of him, and spoke in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Li Beixiong didn't defend himself but instead retorted in front of Qin Yue:
"No reason, when the three kings rebelled, this king was free, so I decided to join in!"
"If it weren't for you not dying, this king would never have rebelled. But you made a mistake in using the fake death and passing on the throne to that dog by your side. Although he looks the part, he didn't do anything worthwhile during his reign."
"Countless loyal ministers and patriots were unjustly imprisoned, while traitorous officials oppressed the people without any regard..."
"Furthermore, the Liyang Dynasty was built by us together with you back then. Why should your Qin family continue to dominate this position?"
"It is said that it's the emperor's turn, and this year it's my turn at my house!"
Upon hearing Li Beixiong's retort, Qin Yun's face immediately darkened.
"Hmph!"
"Beiliang King, do you really think I am so incapable?"
"All of this is just an act put on by me!"
"The purpose is to draw out all you treacherous ministers and rebels!"
Li Beixiong sneered, "Hehe..."
"I see through it!"
Then he looked at Qin Yue, who remained silent at the moment, and asked in confusion:
"Qin Yue, when I and the other three kings personally entered the palace, we personally confirmed that the ashes at that time were yours. How did you deceive us?"
Qin Yue smiled faintly and calmly replied:
"Just a little trick, not worth mentioning!"
"Back then, I faked my death in order to break through the Return to Ruins realm and lead the Liyang Dynasty to a higher level."
"I didn't expect that my fake death would actually make you, these vassal kings, start plotting a rebellion!"
"But fortunately, the three rebellious kings didn't require my intervention; you wiped them out!"
"So, as a founding courtier, surrender to me."
"I am now a powerful expert in the Return to Ruins realm, and you are no longer my opponent."
Below, Li Luo heard the conversation between his father and Qin Yue.
As someone who had transmigrated, he instantly understood everything.
Without waiting for Li Beixiong to reply, Li Luo laughed and said:
"Hehe..."
"Old Emperor, you speak better than you sing. I can see that you actually wanted to depose the three kings, including my father, long ago. It's just that you didn't have the strength back then."
Li Luo's words caught Qin Yue's attention. He looked down at Li Luo, squinted his eyes, and sneered:
"Hehe..."
"I remember you, you're Li Luo. When you were young, I saw you!"
Li Luo smiled slightly, ignored Qin Yue, and continued:
"Back then, my father and the other three kings fought alongside you to conquer the world. Although you eventually became the ruler of Liyang Dynasty, you also granted my father and others the titles of kings, allowing them to command the army and govern the four provinces."
"But you soon regretted it. Don't you understand the principle of vassal kings having their own soldiers and being self-reliant?"
"Moreover, the generals under the four kings are all loyal subordinates of the four kings!"
"And you wanted to control the soldiers and horses of the four kings, so that the four kings would no longer pose a threat to the court. But you were also wary of the alliance of the four kings. So you came up with the plan of faking your death, killing two birds with one stone!"
"By using the fake death, you could focus on cultivating your strength and provide an excuse for the four kings to rebel, leading to a situation of the four kings fighting and killing each other."
"And in the end, you wouldn't have to send a single soldier; you could just make a strong move to eliminate the last vassal king."
"And now, isn't everything developing according to the situation you anticipated?!"
"My father is the last king."
"So, Old Emperor, you don't have to speak so high and mighty in front of my father."
Li Luo's words made Qin Yue and Qin Yun's faces suddenly darken.
Then Qin Yue burst into laughter.
"Haha..."
"Beiliang King, you have raised a good son!"
"What he said is right!"
"Unfortunately... I am now a formidable expert of the Return to Ruins realm!"
As he spoke, a tremendous spiritual power enveloped everyone's heads.
At this moment, Qin Yue looked at Li Luo with a flicker of astonishing killing intent in his eyes.
"Since you all know the truth now, I won't let you leave!"
Qin Yue waved his large hand, preparing to take action and annihilate Li Beixiong, Li Luo, and the others.
"Father, you should come back!"
"It's time to end this game..."
Li Luo gazed at the surging spiritual power of Qin Yue, a hint of mockery appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe... Very well!"
Upon hearing his eldest son's words, Li Beixiong looked at Qin Yue, who believed himself to be in a favorable position, and smiled with amusement.
Then, along with Li Ergou, Gao Shun, and the others, they returned to Li Luo's side.
"Hehe..."
"King Beiliang, it's too late for you to surrender now!"
Qin Yue thought that Li Beixiong and the others, having witnessed his terrifying power, wanted to give up resistance and surrender.
"Hehe..."
"Emperor Qin, although everything is progressing according to your plan, you have underestimated us, the people of Beiliang..."
Li Luo raised his head and sneered.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat puzzled and not understanding Li Luo's meaning.
"What do you mean?!"
Qin Yue asked in a low voice.
Li Luo smiled faintly and said:
"Let's get started!"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
