"That's just your fantasy. The traitor can't possibly succeed."

The old eunuch muttered curses.

"Do you think a young punk and an old man nearing his coffin can defeat me?"

The Spirit Emperor sneered, "To be honest, it's not that I look down on the Spirit Clan, but the only one who truly makes me feel threatened is Li Long. I don't take anyone else seriously."

“If the clan leader finds out about your rebellion in the Central Region, he will definitely kill your entire family.”

"Let them all die. Anyway, I'm here. I'll still have my son, daughter, and wife."

"Good, very good. He is indeed a ruthless traitor."

The old eunuch cursed.

"You've asked me so many questions, now it's your turn to answer mine. You've been holding back for so long, how come you can't hold back all of a sudden now?"

The Spirit Emperor asked in confusion.

"I'm a dying man, do you think I would tell you my secrets?"

"Given your and Li Haishan's intelligence, it's absolutely impossible for you to strike first. Li Haishan is rather arrogant, and he generally won't listen to advice when he's confident about something. The only person he listens to is Li Zhen."

The Emperor's face immediately turned ugly: "Could it really be Li Zhen? How could he be so smart?"

The old eunuch laughed and said, "Emperor Ling, don't you think you're very clever? Unfortunately, my clan leader is even more clever. Li Zhen is the clan leader's own son, but he has no reputation in the clan, and his cultivation speed is only average."

"But you need to think about it carefully. The clan leader knows how powerful you are, so how could he really send a son to be cannon fodder? Li Zhen is the clan leader's smartest son. He was just keeping a low profile before."

The Spirit Emperor said with a murderous look on his face, "Whether Li Zhen is really stupid or pretending to be stupid, he can't possibly outsmart me. This Great Spirit Dynasty is the empire I conquered, and no one can take it over."

"Pah!"

The old eunuch spat, "Without the clan leader's support, you were able to conquer this empire. If you had just managed this dynasty well, we would all have received rewards."

"You might be able to rise from a collateral branch to a direct branch, and the next three generations will all be direct descendants of the Spirit Clan. We cultivators have lived for a long time, and this direct lineage status will be passed down forever."

“We vassals can also become collateral branches, but you insist on rebelling, which could lead to the deaths of everyone. Li Lingqi can still regret it now, but you won’t have the chance to regret it later.”

The Spirit Emperor scoffed, “You’ll be someone else’s dog your whole life, but I, Li Lingqi, don’t want to be someone else’s dog my whole life. No matter how powerful Li Long is, he can’t be my master.”

The old eunuch retorted angrily, "You'll regret this anyway."

The Emperor approached the old eunuch, his expression cold, and said, "Whether you regret it or not, I don't know. Now I'm going to send you to hell."

"No matter how powerful Li Zhen is, he's still a young man to me. I don't believe he can kill me."

A steel spear moved with incredible speed, charging towards the Spirit Emperor.

Emperor Ling dodged in a flash, retreating several meters away from the old eunuch.

He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked towards the door: "You people, even when you have a huge advantage, still like to ambush others."

"Spirit Emperor, how dare you talk to us like that? You said you were ambushed and injured, and I thought it was true, but it turns out it was all a lie."

Li Haishan entered the palace, and several members of the Spirit Clan's collateral branches also entered.

The people that Emperor Ling brought were all carefully selected by Li Long, and many of them were not his confidants.

Even though the Emperor Ling has been trying to win them over, many people still side with Li Long.

They have brothers, sisters, and parents in Eldar and do not want their loved ones to be killed.

There are relatively few people like the Spirit Emperor who can be so cold-hearted and ruthless.

The main problem is that the time wasn't long enough. If these people stayed in the Central Region for a longer period of time...

They will become indifferent to their families, making it easier for the Emperor to win them over.

The Emperor Ling said expressionlessly, "This was all a test to see how much Li Long valued it. If he were to come in person, I certainly wouldn't dare to rebel and pass the throne to him. It would be too shameful for me to give up the throne to a mere Li Zhen."

Li Haishan sneered, "I advise you to think carefully. This isn't something you can simply refuse to take just because you don't want to."

"Spirit Emperor, you should abdicate. You can't fight city hall. Li Long has been the clan leader for so long, you can't outmaneuver him. It's better for everyone if you give up."

“Spiritual artifact, I know you have great ambitions and want to replace the clan leader. Your idea is too dangerous. If you succeed, all will be fine, but if you fail, everyone will die with you.”

"This is obviously impossible. Li Long has been running this business for so long. Your approach is like throwing an egg against a rock, which will ultimately lead to our deaths."

...

All the collateral branches of the Spirit Clan were trying to persuade the Spirit Emperor to abandon this rebellious idea.

"Hahaha, you bunch of trash, you want to be dogs forever? I, the Spirit Emperor, have great ambitions and don't want to be someone's dog."

The Spirit Emperor laughed loudly.

"You! We were trying to give you some advice, but you called us dogs. Are you trying to force us to take action?"

"Since you want to die, don't drag us down with you. It's best if you die."

"We begged the Grand Elder for this opportunity, and you still call us dogs."

...

The members of the Spirit Clan present were furious.

Li Haishan said with a gloomy face, "I'll give you one more chance: die or submit."

The Spirit Emperor's face showed a mocking expression: "Even if I were to hand over the Divine Dynasty to Li Long now, would Li Long let me go?"

Li Haishan said with a serious face: "The clan leader is kind-hearted. You have made many mistakes, but he will still forgive you."

"funny."

The Emperor's smile deepened.

"Li Lingqi, you traitor! The Grand Elder is giving you your last chance. I advise you to cherish it."

Han Feng walked into the palace: "As the saying goes, those who follow the right path receive much help, while those who stray from it receive little. Don't be so stubborn."

The Spirit Emperor was furious and said, "When I achieved success in my cultivation, you were still nowhere to be found. You're trying to teach me how to do things."

Han Feng said coldly, "Although your cultivation level and age are higher than mine, so what? I am a direct descendant of the Spirit Clan, and you are just a collateral descendant. Your collateral descendants listen to my direct descendants. Logically speaking, you should call me Lord Spirit Envoy."

The Spirit Emperor was even more furious and said, "What kind of bullshit rules are these? These are just rules set by your father. I, Li Lingqi, have been exceptionally talented in cultivation since childhood and my cultivation speed is extremely fast. It took your father a thousand years to break through from the Qi Refining stage to the True Immortal stage."

“My Spirit Emperor only took five hundred years to reach the True Immortal realm. If your father hadn’t secretly intervened, I wouldn’t have been able to break through to the early stage of the Profound Heaven Realm and then be unable to break through any further. After worshipping the gods, I was only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Profound Heaven Realm.”
