98: Standing at this Xuanwu Gate, whoever loses is a rebel

“How could I not be your Empress? Now you are rebellious and have raised an army to rebel, but now, do you still want to murder your mother?”

Wu Yue still wanted to use her identity to suppress Li Tian Ce, but she never expected that Li Tian Ce wouldn't fall for it.

He stood up, tidied his clothes, and smiled at Wu Yue: “Let me introduce myself. I, the Emperor of Great Tang, Li Tian Ce! As for Empress or anything, you’ve already come to Xuanwu Gate, why bother with those things? Emperor Taizu once said, the Xuanwu Gate stage is big enough, come if you dare.”

“Xuanwu Gate, where both victory and defeat, and life and death are decided!”

“There is no such thing as Empress or subject. Standing at this Xuanwu Gate, whoever loses is the rebel!”

“Obviously, you lost!”

“You will also be recorded as a Demonic Empress in the historical records!”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Yue was once again greatly angered, almost dying on the spot.

She was filled with endless regret now.

She shouldn't have sent Li Tian Ce to marry into another family back then; she should have killed this traitor directly, otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen to this state today.

She looked at Li Tian Ce weakly.

“Eight hundred thousand troops, I have eight hundred thousand troops...”

Li Tian Ce pointed to the city floating in mid-air above his head, “Do you see that? Do you think your eight hundred thousand troops can defeat it? Besides, your eight hundred thousand troops have already surrendered to me; only you are still in the dark.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, how did you become this Female Emperor?”

“Pfft!” Wu Yue spat out fresh blood, overcome with anger, and fainted.

At this moment, Chu Mo descended from mid-air, glanced at the unconscious Wu Yue, and said, “Why say so much? Cut the Luck that needs to be cut, take the Imperial City that needs to be taken!”

When kicking Wu Yue, Li Tian Ce used ninety percent of his strength. He originally thought the other party was there to cut Luck, but he didn't expect it was just to engage in a war of words with this guy.

“If you don’t come, I will!”

Seeing Chu Mo about to make a move, Li Tian Ce grabbed his right hand, which was formed into a sword finger, and anxiously said, “Chu Ge, don’t randomly cut Luck! She is still the Emperor of Great Wu now. If you cut the Luck on her, it’s equivalent to giving Great Wu’s Luck a slash. I still want to refine Great Wu’s National Luck into the Nine Dragon Seal!”

Chu Mo withdrew his Luck Cutting Technique and shook his head.

“I saw you were slow to act, and thought you didn’t want it, so I was preparing to harvest some Luck for self-protection.”

Li Tian Ce was somewhat speechless, “Chu Ge… you’re addicted to cutting Luck, aren’t you!”

“You know, I have enemies all over the world. If I don’t cut a bit more Luck, I’m afraid it won’t be enough to activate the protagonist’s essential skills at critical moments!”

Chu Mo immediately explained to Li Tian Ce that after Luck is harvested, it will be converted into Luck points.

Consuming varying amounts of Luck points can activate different stages of protagonist skills, including but not limited to, glib tongue, passing Great Grandmaster, encountering treasures upon going out, and Divine Artifact recognition.

“Hiss!”

Li Tian Ce gasped, surprised, “That is to say, as long as we have enough Luck points, we can enjoy protagonist treatment.”

“Theoretically, that’s how it is, but in practice, I haven’t tried it many times, so I’m not very clear!”

Chu Mo actually hasn't used Luck points much, only twice in total.

Once, he talked his Sect Master into submission.

Once, he used it to activate the Luck Cutting Technique, cutting Catherine’s Luck.

And now, his Luck value isn't quite enough to trigger protagonist skills, and Jiang Lingsu in Xuanxiao Sect is eyeing him covetously.

One slip-up, and it's easy to overturn.

Therefore, he urgently needed replenishment.

Understanding this, Li Tian Ce decided to give all the Luck on Wu Yue to Chu Mo.

“Let there be a little less National Luck then! Anyway, Heaven’s will favors me now. As long as I unify the world and then perform the Fengshan sacrifice on Mount Tai...”

“I have a feeling this will bring me unexpected benefits!”

Seeing Li Tian Ce say this.

Chu Mo no longer stood on ceremony. He immediately condensed his own Luck into a sword and severed the Luck on Wu Yue.

System Notification: Detected ownerless Luck, absorbing. Congratulations Administrator Chu Mo, you have obtained Luck points: 8000.

“This guy’s Luck value is so low?”

Chu Mo was very surprised; compared to the Luck points on Wang Xiu, it was extremely paltry.

“Low is low! Every bit counts! Even mosquito meat, no matter how little, is still meat.”

And as Chu Mo severed the Luck of the former Great Wu Empress, she lost her breath, tilted her head, and died.

“So fragile?” Li Tian Ce complained.

“She’s just an ordinary Mortal. With a kick from you, a Martial Dao Great Grandmaster, even if you only used ten percent of your strength, it would be enough to shatter her heart meridians. If she didn’t die, wouldn’t you, a Martial Dao Great Grandmaster, appear too weak?!”

“That’s true!” Li Tian Ce nodded.

Currently, in the Chat Group, he is the third strongest in terms of combat power. Even Lin Yan from a Xuanhuan world is not his opponent.

This is the advantage of joining the group early.

However, the world's power level limits him; Lin Yan will probably catch up to him very soon.

“Still haven’t gone to a good world!”

Li Tian Ce sighed with emotion.

The higher the world's power level, the more dangerous it is.

But similarly, the opportunities are greater.

If he could, he would be very willing to go to high-risk worlds like Chu Mo and Ning Haocheng's.

System Notification: Administrator Li Tian Ce successfully reclaimed the throne and unified the nomadic tribes, achieving the hidden quest: Heavenly Khan! Reward: One hundred thousand points, Group Experience +1

System Notification: Administrator Chu Mo assisted Li Tian Ce in reclaiming the throne and achieving ‘Heavenly Khan’, Reward: One hundred thousand points!

“Hmm? There’s an unexpected bonus?”

Chu Mo was startled.

He came to Li Tian Ce’s world because of Jiang Lingsu’s sudden attack.

However, what was unexpected was that just coming to this world for a leisurely trip could earn him one hundred thousand points for free!

Qi Xuan: Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! Chu Ge can get one hundred thousand points just by going on a trip, I’m so envious I’m turning purple!

Lin Yan: Qi Ge, how did you learn to start with a war cry? Don’t be like this, I’m scared!

Ning Haocheng: Envious? That’s right! What’s the point of staying in your Small World all day? Come to my world, I’ll take you to earn tons of points!

Qi Xuan: Ning Ge, your words remind me of an industrial park. You’re not trying to trick me into coming over to have my kidney removed, are you? The kind without anesthesia!

Ning Haocheng: How could that be? As long as you come, there will be tons of points. As for anesthesia, don’t worry, I can use physical anesthesia. It guarantees you’ll be dazed without brain damage, just the right amount of force!

Qi Xuan: Wow! Ning Ge, you don’t even pretend anymore! In front of all the group members, you want to scheme for my kidney. Let me tell you, no way!

The two System notifications about earning points brought out a group of idle people.

Chu Mo expressed that he had something to say.

Anesthesia?

Who still uses anesthesia nowadays? Directly extracting the soul, isn't that better than anesthesia?!

“Chu Ge, I’m going to clean up the Imperial City now. Do you want to come along?”

Li Tian Ce scanned the group chat, found no valuable information, and began to consider dealing with the current situation.

Although the Great Wu Empress Wu Yue was dead.

However, the series of policies she left in the imperial court, as well as the Wu family relatives she randomly promoted, and a series of incompetent female officials, must be purged.

Of course.

Among the female officials, there might not be no truly capable individuals.

For truly talented people, regardless of gender, he would not be stingy with a mere official position.

Why not do it if just a few official positions can make them work for him?

Anyway, these people were just working for him!

Facing Li Tian Ce’s invitation, Chu Mo readily accepted.

“Coincidentally, my Human Emperor Flag also needs a batch of fresh cattle... souls, to contribute to the people!”

Cattle and horses! You definitely wanted to say cattle and horses just now, didn't you!

And “contribute to the people”, you... you, well, are you also considered people?

Of course, I am too!

Li Tian Ce was very open-minded.

Sending these people to be cattle and horses enhances Chu Mo’s logistical capabilities, which indirectly enhances their own capabilities.

In the future, when encountering danger.

One cry of “Help me,” and a savior will surely appear!
