What a scene of filial piety.
Li Zhiyi almost couldn't catch his breath.
He can understand acting, but forming a team?
Sheng Huoquan and Qin Baichuan exchanged glances, feeling a bit confused.
How is this different from what was agreed upon beforehand?
Gu Chi spoke again, asking the leader of the Imperial Guards, "Did I say before that I wanted to rescue the princess and punish the traitors on Qihuang Mountain?"
The leader of the Imperial Guards replied, "Yes."
Gu Chi continued, "After personally inquiring, it was a misunderstanding. I had confined the princess for too long, and Minister Li was showing off his cultivation. Gu Changge happened to pass by and was worried about the princess's safety, so he took action. Now that the misunderstanding is resolved and the princess has been found, there is no need for further conflict. Everyone can go back."
Tens of thousands of cultivators: "..."
So they came all this way just to witness a family reunion?
"Hold on!"
Li Zhiyi wasn't a fool. He quickly grasped the key point and asked with a flickering gaze, "If you are the emperor, then where is Gu Changge?"
Gu Chi casually replied, "He said he wanted to visit the Sword Sect, so he should be there by now."
The disciples of the Sword Sect were shocked to hear this. Their elite members were all present today, and their sect master was still in seclusion. If Gu Changge really went to the sect, their spirit stones would be in danger.
However, Li Zhiyi didn't buy into this. He just needed to confirm that the person in front of him was Gu Chi and buy some time.
"You can fool others, but not me."
Li Zhiyi stared at Gu Chi and said, "The senses of a Sword Sect cultivator are sharp. I remember your aura. You are Gu Changge!"
In reality, there was no such thing as aura. It was as mysterious as body fragrance, and even if it did exist, Gu Chi had already changed it.
The disguise of the Speech Spirit Technique was much more advanced than ordinary disguises. It could completely deceive others.
Gu Chi knew that Li Zhiyi was deliberately talking nonsense, and he played along.
Gu Chi waved his hand to stop the leader of the Imperial Guards who was about to act and said, "Since Minister Li claims that I am a fake emperor, then where is the real emperor?"
Li Zhiyi said, "The real emperor is on his way!"
Upon hearing this, the cultivators looked at each other in confusion. What did it mean?
Could there be another emperor?
Indeed, there was.
Li Zhiyi ordered Ling Zixiao to hurry up, and in no time, a majestic voice came from the sky.
"Who dares to impersonate me so boldly!"
Ling Zixiao, disguised as Gu Chi, was also wearing the dragon robe. In terms of appearance and attire, he looked exactly like Gu Chi.
The leader of the Imperial Guards: "???"
Everyone: "???"
There was an uproar on Qihuang Terrace.
"Am I seeing things?"
"Two emperors??"
"Could they be twin brothers? Otherwise, how could they look so alike?"
Feitian Ju's eyes widened, feeling a bit overwhelmed. What was going on?
Logically speaking, the real couldn't be faked, and the fake couldn't be real.
It was only a matter of time before the fake emperor was exposed in front of the real emperor. With so many people here, it would be difficult to escape once their true identities were revealed.
Feitian Ju never considered that both emperors were fake.
The real emperor had already gone to have tea with the King of Hell, with no evidence of his death.
The Demon-Hunting Bureau couldn't just bring out the real emperor's corpse to expose him, right?
That's why Gu Chi had asked Xia Ling to act with him.
Appearing as the emperor, no one dared to directly attack him.
Including Li Zhiyi.
If the other party wanted to use the power of the cultivators to deal with him, they only had one choice.
Whether they liked it or not, they had to bring their own fake emperor as well.
Then everything would return to normal.
Gu Chi could easily expose the other party, but the other party couldn't expose him.
In this way, he would be the true emperor. Even if Luo Qingshu herself came, she would have to call him father.
After all, it was the Demon-Hunting Bureau and others who killed the real emperor.
The devil may be fierce, but the Dao is even fiercer. Since the moment they decided to kill the emperor, Li Zhiyi and the Demon-Hunting Bureau were destined to lose.
At this moment, Gu Chi and Ling Zixiao faced each other, without needing Xia Ling's help. With a simple sentence, Gu Chi exposed Ling Zixiao's disguise.
"You'd better speak to me with your true appearance."
[Dao Yun - 30]
"You traitor, how dare you still call me 'me'!" Ling Zixiao angrily said, "Do you know that you have committed a heinous crime? Show your true form immediately!"
After he finished speaking, the air became extremely quiet.
Gu Chi remained silent.
But the discussions among the crowd grew louder.
Li Zhiyi suddenly felt that something was off and looked around. He saw many cultivators looking at Ling Zixiao with strange expressions, especially some disciples of the Sword Sect who had a perfect view. Their mouths were wide open, filled with disbelief.
"The, the sect master?"
"Isn't our sect master in seclusion?"
Looking at the Great Celestial, his face had become extremely gloomy.
Li Zhiyi felt that something was wrong and asked Ling Zixiao to turn around, only to see that he had already returned to his original appearance.
Fuck!He had considered the possibility that Gu Chi might see through his disguise, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
After spending half a day on makeup, it was all for naught at the first encounter. Ling Zixiao didn't even finish his lines!
"Who would have thought that the Sword Sect would stoop so low!" Gu Chi seized the opportunity and spoke out indignantly, "Everyone!"
"As you can see, the head of the Sword Sect, Ling Zixiao, and the young master Li Zhiyi, intend to impersonate the emperor and seize the throne. This is a heinous crime, a violation of morality and order!"
"If they succeed, the martial world will be plunged into a bloodbath."
"I implore everyone to lend me your strength, to punish the wicked and maintain peace in the world!"
His words were powerful and filled with a sense of justice.
The commander of the imperial guards was ready to draw his sword, but someone was faster.
The Dan Yi Sect was the first major sect to respond to the emperor's call, and it was the same now.
Old Master Sheng gave a firm and resolute order, "All disciples, form the Flowing Fire Dan Cloud Formation, assist the emperor in killing the traitors!"
"Yes!"
Li Zhiyi: "?"
"Didn't you hear him just now? He referred to himself as 'I', not 'We'. This emperor is an imposter by Gu Changge!"
"Nonsense! And what if it is?"
Wang Dian slammed the table and stood up, "A few million spirit stones and a few jars of wine are nothing compared to righteousness!"
Li Zhiyi: "??"
Isn't wine your lifeblood?

You certainly didn't say that before!
The heads of the various sects didn't care about Li Zhiyi's reaction.
Firstly, they wanted to uphold justice.
Secondly, Gu Chi really gave too much...
A few million spirit stones couldn't buy an Enlightenment Pill.
Among the crowd, Qin Baichuan rose into the air with water flowing around his hands.
Su Buzhe flew in on a paper painting, waving his brush and ink to form a mountainous landscape.
Qian Zhuang unfurled a scroll, and a fragrant mist rose, trapping all the disciples of the Sword Sect.
Mu Wanqing, who had been in seclusion, also arrived. She had reached the Semi-Saint stage, her figure elusive. The cultivators could only hear her enchanting laughter.
Yuan Kong led one hundred and eight Arhats to form the Heavenly Gate Locking Gold Formation, sealing the entrance to Qihuang Terrace.
The Divine Maiden, Huang Wan, also appeared above the crowd, flames flickering in her eyes.
Mr. Liu, who had been evading pursuit, also discarded his cloak and returned to Xia Ling's side.
This was the true alliance of the eight sects.
And they were indeed suppressing the rebels.
Only the rebels had changed.
Li Zhiyi finally realized that he had been tricked by Gu Chi. Knowing that there was no chance of luck, he decisively gave the Great Celestial a look—
"Attack!"
They had three saints, five thousand Silver Armored Blade Guards, and thousands of cultivators from various sects and factions under the control of the Demon-Hunting Bureau. They were not necessarily afraid of Gu Chi.
If the rebellion failed, then they would openly rebel!
So, the Great Celestial also decisively ordered, "Silver Armored Guards, listen to my command! The head of the Sword Sect, Ling Zixiao, and the young master Li Zhiyi, in collusion with hundreds of sects, intend to rebel. The evidence is irrefutable. I order you to arrest them immediately. Those who resist will be killed on the spot!"
Li Zhiyi: "???"
Damn it!
