"Qin Zhengyang, you have done so many evil things today, and one day you will get your retribution."
"I've heard before that the Great Emperor of the Central Region was tyrannical, leading his army to fight in the south and north, resulting in the deaths of many people."
"But the actions of the Great Emperor of the Central Region are still far inferior to those of your Qin family."
"The Great Emperor of the Central Region would at least not harm the mortals under his own divine dynasty, but your Qin family doesn't even spare mortals."
Li Zhongming was going all out.
"As expected, Father was right. You all appear loyal on the surface, but in reality, you are all treacherous ministers."
Qin Zhengyang said coldly, "The Sea God did provide some assistance to our Qin family, but the Qin family's ability to conquer the entire continent is all thanks to my father."
"Pah! You're giving credit to your father? He was the least favored prince back then, and he begged me for help countless times before I finally came out of seclusion to help."
“At the time, I thought your father was a wise and benevolent ruler who loved his people, but I never imagined he was a tyrant at heart. Your grandfather’s death was probably caused by your father.”
"It's all because I discovered it too late, which allowed a violent person to become the ruler of this celestial dynasty. This is my fault."
Li Zhongming exuded a terrifying aura, his late-stage Earthly Realm cultivation no longer concealed.
Among all the ministers, his cultivation level was definitely the highest.
Back when the Immortal Emperor was just a prince of an Immortal Dynasty, he begged Li Zhongming ten thousand times.
Li Zhongming agreed to come out of seclusion to help the Immortal Emperor because of his sincerity.
With Li Zhongming's help, the Immortal Emperor successfully seized the throne.
After the Immortal Emperor seized the throne, he allowed Li Zhongming to realize his ambitions.
Li Zhongming's wish is for justice to be served, for the wicked to be punished, and for the good to receive fairness.
The reason why the Immortal Dynasty in the Southern Region is so prosperous is not due to the efforts of the Immortal Emperor alone, but to the efforts of many people in the Southern Region.
Now that the Celestial Emperor wants to destroy all of this, how can Li Zhongming stand by and watch?
Li Zhongming was able to help the Immortal Emperor seize the throne not only because of his intelligence, but also because of his own cultivation.
In the ancient Southern Region, Li Zhongming's cultivation level would rank among the top ten.
Qin Zhengyang's grandfather was also powerful enough to be ranked in the previous life, and Li Zhongming was his sworn brother.
Otherwise, how could an unfavored prince like the Celestial Emperor have obtained the throne?
"It's all my fault, so let me erase these sins."
Li Zhongming believed that killing the Crown Prince and the Immortal Emperor would bring about a change of dynasty in the entire Immortal Dynasty.
Li Zhongming would not have done that if he hadn't been forced to.
Once the Immortal Emperor emerges from seclusion, his cultivation level will break through to the Heavenly One Realm.
In the entire Southern Region, only the Sea God can stop the Immortal Emperor.
The problem is that something happened in the sea, and the sea god urgently returned to the sea.
Li Zhongming tried to contact the Sea God, but failed each time.
The sea people's reply to Li Zhongming was that the matter being handled by the sea god was very troublesome.
If this is not handled properly, the entire Southern Region will perish.
No matter how serious the matter is in the Southern Region, the Sea God will deal with that matter first.
Li Zhongming is a smart man; he has figured out many things.
There are reasons why the Immortal Emperor broke through at this particular time, rather than earlier or later.
Li Zhongming sensed something, something he needed to verify himself.
Crown Prince Qin Zhengyang was the most beloved child of the Immortal Emperor, and Li Zhongming felt that he could find what he wanted in him.
Li Zhongming now held a long spear, and his body radiated a chilling golden light.
He cultivates the Great Dao of the Five Elements, and metal is the most powerful element in terms of attack.
Li Zhongming acted without hesitation; some things were already decided, so there was no need to dwell on them.
The spear charged towards Qin Zhengyang, intending to kill him with a single blow.
Qin Zhengyang was at the late stage of the Profound Heaven Realm, and he had almost no power to resist Li Zhongming.
Over the years, Li Zhongming failed to break through to the early stage of the Heavenly Realm, and instead drifted further and further into the late stage of the Earthly Realm.
If those late-stage Earth Realm experts were still alive, Li Zhongming's strength would rank among the top three.
"Li Zhongming, you are rebelling."
Qin Zhengyang's face showed fear.
“I am not rebelling, but atoning for my sins.”
Just as Li Zhongming was about to pierce the spear, a figure appeared.
The figure blocked Qin Zhengyang's path, and the sharp spear disappeared as a result.
This person was none other than the Immortal Emperor who was about to go into seclusion.
"Father!"
Qin Zhengyang's face lit up with joy.
The Immortal Emperor was a handsome young man with eyes as bright as the sun.
Her long hair hung down, giving her a very elegant look.
He exuded an air of nobility, an air of supreme authority.
"It seems that your son is the one you like best, and you've even taken measures to protect him."
Li Zhongming had anticipated this.
“Zhongming, we have been ruler and subject for so long, you shouldn’t have done that today.”
The Immortal Emperor said expressionlessly.
"You should have known long ago that I would do this, so why say such useless things?"
Li Zhongming said coldly.
"You should know that if you do this today, you'll be stuck here forever."
"So what? I have to take responsibility for my own mistakes."
Five rays of light emanated from Li Zhongming, representing the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
In the entire Dao Domain, only he has cultivated the Five Elements Dao to this level.
The Immortal Emperor's face showed a look of reminiscence: "I thought you had given up cultivation long ago, but I didn't expect you to have made such great progress in the Great Dao."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Li Zhongming gave a cold laugh.
"Back when I first met you, I was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, while you were already at the late Earth Heaven Realm and a close friend of my father. I didn't even dare to breathe loudly next to you."
"I wanted you to help me realize my ambition of ascending the throne, but you rejected me outright, saying that I was too ambitious and that my cultivation level was too low. You said I should be thinking about how to break through my cultivation level, not about seizing the throne, which is too far away from me."
The Immortal Emperor spoke calmly.
"That's right. How come I didn't see your wolfish ambition back then? Otherwise, I would never have assisted you and let you become the Immortal Emperor."
Li Zhongming said coldly.
"It seems that no matter what I say today, you're going to attack me."
"Don't pretend there. You'll soon reveal your wolfish ambitions, and very few people in the entire Southern Continent will survive."
"It seems you've discovered something, but you're not sure yet, otherwise you wouldn't have made me take action."
The Immortal Emperor exuded a terrifying killing intent.
“I really underestimated you. A Nascent Soul cultivator daring to ask a Heavenly Realm expert for help seems suspicious, but at the time I thought you were naturally intelligent.”
Li Zhongming gave a wry smile.
"Let's not fight here. Let's go somewhere else. You don't want to see so many innocent people die in Xiandu."
"You still know me so well."
The Immortal Emperor and Li Zhongming left the Immortal Capital and went to fight in the outer heavens.
