Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, but still did not decide to go into the Demon Abyss again.
Her current strength was not enough to defeat Him in the territory of the red consciousness, let alone go to find Ying Zhong.
And if she goes down and loses, she will help Him break the seal, and then the world will be completely destroyed in her hands.
Xiao Li was about to leave when he suddenly saw a shadow moving quickly towards the Demon Abyss.
After taking a closer look, she found that it was Su Nian and the system she was looking for.
They are heading towards the Demonic Abyss, so nothing good is bound to happen to them.
Xiao Li was about to rush over to stop him, but when she was less than ten meters away from Su Nian, a formation suddenly lit up under her feet.
It was the formation she left for Yang Cheng.
At that moment of pulling, Su Nian sank into the abyss of the devil.
Xiao Li felt heavy in her heart. She had forgotten how many years it had been since she had felt this way, the feeling that the enemy was so powerful that it was suffocating.
Maybe it sensed her presence, but the next moment, a blood-red figure appeared under the Demon Abyss, staring straight at Xiao Li, eyes full of greed.
He could feel the power in Xiao Li. The stronger Xiao Li was, the more delicious he was to him.
Xiao Li also looked at Him, looked at His face which had become exactly like Xiao Wei's, and looked at Su Nian in His arms.
Xiao Li looked at Him calmly, without any disturbance.
She did not deny His power, but she would never back down.
The next moment, a powerful force suddenly hit the formation. Xiao Li stepped on it and directly pressed the force back.
He opened his mouth and said silently: I will definitely eat you!
Xiao Li lowered his eyes and glanced at Him: What a coincidence, she thought so too.
He failed to break the seal and could not do anything to her for the time being, so he could only carry Su Nian away.
Xiao Li knew that he wouldn't be able to be kept in captivity for a few days.
As soon as he returned to the palace, Xiao Li smelled a strong smell of blood and heard the sound of fierce fighting at the door.
When Xiao Li went out, he saw a fierce fight going on at the door. Yang Cheng led his men to fight against the others.
The formation created by Xiao Li suppressed the cultivation of the immortal cultivators, but the cultivation of the Golden Core was enough to kill ordinary generals in seconds. However, these people were able to fight back and forth with Yang Cheng and the others, and they were obviously immortal cultivators.
Because the fight was so intense, he didn't even notice Xiao Li's arrival.
Xiao Li raised his hand and pressed down hard with overwhelming force.
In an instant, everyone was forced to crawl on the ground and the fight stopped.
Yang Cheng looked over immediately and said in surprise: "Your Majesty!"
Xiao Li asked him, "What's going on?"
Yang Cheng felt the pressure on his body lighten, and without caring about his injuries, he hurried towards Xiao Li.
"Your Majesty, it's the Taixu Sect. They are bringing with them the Tiandu Sect, the Shenyin Sect, and the Guiyou Sect, and they want to seize the throne."
Taixu Sect ranks third among the top ten sects. Its founder was Xiao Guizong, the son of Xiao Wende a thousand years ago. It is also the second sect to be established based on a surname.
The title he used was that he was a descendant of the royal family of Xiao.
Xiao Guizong took his mother's surname, and his descendants, both male and female, also had the surname Xiao, which gave rise to the huge Taixu Sect.
After hearing that Empress Mingxi had arrived and killed the tyrant Xiao Wei, and that the imperial power was now vacant, they remained silent for half a month. In fact, they were gathering their forces to go to the capital to discuss the ownership of the imperial power.
Naturally, they did not dare to directly say that they wanted to oppose Empress Mingxi. They only said that they were also descendants of the Xiao family and were more qualified to serve Empress Mingxi than Yang Cheng.
It happened that Xiao Li was not there when they arrived, and Yang Cheng tried to stop them. They had been at odds with the Yang family for hundreds of years, and they would fight at the slightest disagreement.
The power of Xuantian Sect alone, even with the help of people from other sects, was not enough to withstand the attack of the four sects. In addition, there were still many cultivators in the Xiao family in Shangjing, who were so aggressive that they forced Yang Cheng and others directly to the door of the Golden Palace.
After Yang Cheng finished speaking, Xiao Li withdrew his strength.
"Point out the leader to me."
Yang Cheng also understood a little bit about the empress's character and immediately pointed out a dozen people.
Xiao Li raised her hand slightly, and more than a dozen people were pulled in front of her and knelt upright.
"You know I'm here, yet you still dare to attack me? You're so brave."
Several people were frightened by Xiao Li's move and completely lost the ferocity they had just shown in the fight.
"Are you...really Empress Mingxi?"
Xiao Changfeng, the leader of Taixu Sect, asked cautiously.
Xiao Li sneered: "If I'm not, what can you do?"
In the face of absolute strength, any doubts are bullshit.
Who is she? Why does she need to prove it to him?
Xiao Changfeng clenched his fists, feeling fear and anger, but dared not reveal a single word.
"Your Highness, I am Xiao Changfeng, the 37th generation descendant of the Xiao family. Upon hearing that you were approaching, I came to serve you. However, Yang Cheng occupied the palace and prevented us from paying our respects. This is why I had no choice but to fight him. I have no intention of disrespecting you."
Xiao Li stood with his hands behind his back, glaring at him coldly. "First of all, I am not your ancestor. Xiao Wende was expelled from the royal family by me and demoted to a commoner. You can say that she still retains the blood of the Xiao family, but she has no relationship with me. I do not recognize your branch."
"Secondly, the Yang family's servants were appointed by me and represent me. If you come to kill me, it would be a rebellion. The extermination of all nine generations of your clan is not an exaggeration."
Xiao Changfeng was so angry that he trembled, clenched his fists tightly, and gritted his teeth to hold back his disrespectful words: "We are of the same roots, why are you so eager to fight each other? Your Majesty Mingxi is also of the Xiao family bloodline, how can you be biased towards people of other surnames..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Li gave Yang Cheng a look and he drew his knife and killed him.
Blood splattered on several other people, and Xiao Changfeng fell to the ground, his eyes open in death.
Wang Junbao and Lin Yin came over with Yang Mingyue. When they saw this scene, their expressions changed slightly, but they said nothing and just stood behind Xiao Li.
Xiao Li's cold eyes casually swept over the others. "I was too soft-hearted back then and didn't exterminate the Xiao royal family. That's why you relied on my reputation to become powerful and finally questioned me."
They said they were serving her, but in fact they were asking her to give benefits to someone named Xiao. It was ridiculous.
This is the first time I heard that someone can set rules for the emperor!
"Now, who else has anything to say?"
Several people looked at each other in silence for a long time before someone finally spoke tentatively: "We are from the Shangjing clan, descendants of Empress Shuntian and Prince Wei. We are willing to accept orders from His Majesty Mingxi."
The Xiao family is divided into three groups, and these three groups are also divided into levels.
The group with the highest status is naturally the one who went to Beijing. They are descendants of the orthodox emperor. King Wei is a real descendant of the Xiao family. Although Wang Wanqing is of a different surname, she is the empress. The two gave birth to the empress Lintian. In terms of blood, they feel very superior.
The second wave was the Xiao family from Yanping Prefecture. They were not as large as the Taixu Sect, but they were members of the Xiao family who migrated there and were also legitimate descendants.
Only the Taixu Sect, in order to establish a relationship with Empress Mingxi, chose to follow the maternal instinct and forcibly recognized the ancestors on the mother's side, which was despised by others.
