Chapter Five Hundred and Fortieth: I'd rather be with others, no one will be with me
Gu Cheng's straightforward rebellion caught everyone by surprise.
Before, everyone thought that Gu Cheng was Li Yuangong's confidant. In such a dangerous situation last time, Li Yuangong had not yet shown his trump card, and when the prince almost had the advantage, Gu Cheng still stepped forward to protect him.
Although it is still dangerous this time, Li Yuangong has used all his cards, Daqian and Taoist sects are here. Although the Zhengtian Alliance is strong, it is only strong in individuals.
Once time goes on for a long time, the Long Xiang Guards on the periphery and the imperial guards outside the capital all rush into the imperial city, and the fourth prince is killed or captured, then the Tian Zheng Alliance will almost be defeated.
Because the Zhengtian Alliance itself took action in the name of Qing Junzhi, they had to hold up the banner of the Fourth Prince before they could take action. If the fourth prince was captured or killed, the Zhengtian Alliance would never have a chance again.
No matter how much Li Yuangong tried to commit suicide, Da Qian had not yet reached the stage of destroying the country, and the Li family had not yet reached the stage of anger and resentment. No matter how big the scene was, this was just a fight for the right to inherit the throne.
No matter how many people are involved, this is just an internal fight between the Li dynasty.
Although Li Xiaoming and Li Xiaowu are both watching the show now, in fact they are the key.
So everyone was wondering why Gu Cheng would choose to betray Li Yuangong at this time. This was somewhat inconsistent with the changeable cunning that Gu Cheng had always shown.
Seeing that Gu Cheng dared to betray him, Li Yuangong was trembling with anger, his face was flushed, and his whole body was shaking.
"Gu Cheng! How dare you betray me!? It's in vain that I trust you so much and give you so much power!
The whole line of Marquis Zhongyong has been humiliated by you, how can you still have the face to face your ancestors?
After this incident, I will definitely take away your title and kill all nine of your clans!"
At this time, Li Yuangong's face was ferocious. He had never been so angry before when his son betrayed him.
Li Yuangong is a standard emperor, suspicious and fickle. He has never trusted anyone in the entire Daqian. He does not trust his confidant Fan Sihai, nor does he trust Ye Wuzhao, the mainstay of the Daqian.
Even though Chen Gongqing and Li Yuangong believed it, it was because he knew the oath Chen Gongqing had made in the past. His loyalty had been verified over time, so Chen Gongqing and Li Yuangong believed it.
In Li Yuangong's view, he had enough trust in Gu Cheng. He promoted him from the middle level of Jingyesi to the top, gave him an unprecedented position, and made him one of the leaders of Jingyesi at a young age, and even He was entrusted with such an important task as finding the elixir of immortality.
So Li Yuangong really 'trusts' Gu Cheng. Of course, this trust is based on the premise that Gu Cheng's strength is not enough to threaten him. If Gu Cheng had the strength of Ye Wuzhao, Li Yuangong would not dare to attack him. Too trusting.
Anyway, in Li Yuangong's own opinion, he trusted Gu Cheng enough, but Gu Cheng betrayed his trust. This kind of behavior should be cut into pieces and the nine tribes should be annihilated!
He, Li Yuangong, has always been the one to take responsibility for others. When will it be someone else's turn to take responsibility for him, Li Yuangong?
Putting away the things on the mysterious giant spirit god, and looking at the helpless and furious Li Yuangong, Gu Cheng said calmly: "Your Majesty has misunderstood me. I have always been loyal to Da Qian.
The title of the Zhongyong line also means loyalty to the entire Daqian, rather than loyalty to one person. Otherwise, wouldn't my Zhongyong Hou only be able to pass it down to one generation?
Loyal words are harsh to the ears, and good medicine is bitter to the mouth. Your Majesty is currently bewitched by the demonic ways of the Xian Qin Taoist Sect, so naturally he cannot listen to our "loyal ministers and kind words".
But don’t worry, Your Majesty, you are just being deceived by treacherous ministers now. When I eradicate these evil ways, you will understand who is the loyal minister who cares for the great cause."
Gu Cheng's words almost made Li Yuangong vomit blood. Li Yuangong waved his hand and said: "Longying Guards! All dispatch!"
More than ten dragon shadow guards began to move out from the darkness. The weakest among them were all sixth-grade beings, and there were also many masters. Among them was Long Shiqi, who was familiar to Gu Cheng.
The Dragon Shadow Guard can be said to be Li Yuangong's most personal force. As long as he takes out the Dragon Shadow Guard, it proves that Li Yuangong really doesn't care about anything and he has no strength to use it anymore.
It's a pity that although these dragon shadow guards are strong, they can't help the current Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng's current combat power is comparable to that of a fourth-grade practitioner, and he is also a master of both martial arts and qi refining. Even if these people want to consume him, they cannot defeat him.
As the door to the ruins within Gu Cheng's body opened wide, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine sharp auras suddenly erupted, roaring and sweeping across. The sharp aura covered the sky and the sun, directly killing more than ten dragon shadow guards. shrouded in it.
Gu Cheng had no murderous intention towards them, and the practitioners of Longying Guards were somewhat pitiful.
They are comparable to fifth-grade masters in terms of combat power, but in fact they cannot be regarded as fifth-grade masters because they have no own path of cultivation.
From the beginning of their practice, their route has been fixed, either the ultimate attack or the ultimate defense, not for themselves, but only for the emperor Li Yuangong.
Therefore, they are more like a group of pure weapons without any emotion or judgment. Killing them is useless. As long as the new emperor ascends the throne, they will immediately be loyal to the new emperor.
In fact, the person they were loyal to was not Li Yuangong, but the man sitting on the dragon throne.
"Master Gu, leave these dragon shadow guards to me."
Li Xiaozhun suddenly led a group of people into the imperial city.
Everyone present actually ignored Li Xiaojun, including Li Yuangong, who didn't notice that he was missing a son, which shows how transparent Li Xiaojun is.
In fact, Li Xiaozhun helped Li Xiaowu take care of a lot of things. Over the years, Li Xiaowu also recruited a group of practitioners, including masters of casual cultivators in the world, and even some great officials.
Although these people are not the opponents of the Long Shadow Guards, they are still enough to help delay the opponent at this time.
Gu Cheng nodded, left the crowd, and headed straight for Qin Daoren and Li Xiaoming.
The slogan they used this time was to clear the emperor's side, so Xian Qin Daomen, the sect that beguiled the emperor to refine the elixir of immortality, must be destroyed, and at the same time, Li Xiaoming, the accomplice, must also be captured.
"Damn it!"
Li Xiaoming cursed angrily. He never expected that the person who would finally attack him was Gu Cheng, whom he had wanted to recruit a few days ago!
If he had known that Gu Cheng was determined to side with Li Xiaowu, he should have found a chance to deal with him first!
"Taoist Master Qin, think of a solution quickly!"
Taoist Qin also looked angry and helpless at this time.
His Immortal Qin Dao Sect, to put it nicely, is a great Taoist sect that has been passed down for thousands of years, but to put it badly, it has been surviving for thousands of years, surviving until now.
Therefore, they did not retain much of the past Xian Qin Dao Sect's foundation, and the Mysterious Giant Spirit God was already their trump card.
Taoist Qin had fought against Gu Cheng before, but looking at Gu Cheng's power now, he really didn't have the confidence to defeat Gu Cheng.
"Set up the formation! Everyone takes action together! Kill the traitor Gu Cheng!"
Taoist Qin shouted angrily and led the people from the Xian Qin Taoist Sect to kill Gu Cheng.
They have no choice now. If they don't stop Gu Cheng, everyone will die!
"With a mantis' arm acting as a chariot, do a group of people who refine Shiquan Dabu Dan really think they are invincible?"
Gu Cheng shook his head gently. He really looked down on these practitioners of the Xian Qin Dao Sect.
Although these guys are called Qi Refiners, they are actually not even leftist monks, they are just a group of people who practice great tonic pills.
Among this group of people, only Taoist Qin had some strength, but his cultivation level was not very good. Gu Cheng could even see some traces of cultivation from other Taoist branches in him.
Eight disciples of Xian Qin Dao Sect formed seals at the same time, and just as the rays of light rose into the sky, Gu Cheng's whole body was enveloped by Wanren Guixu's sword energy. In an instant, he came to the group of people, and slashed down two of them with one sword.
The heads were already rising into the sky, and the formation that had just been lit was instantly extinguished.
"Slow! Too slow! The purpose of setting up a multi-person formation is to maximize the speed and power of the formation at the same time. Do you think you are dealing with a wooden man?"
"Gu Cheng, you are looking for death!"
Taoist Qin shouted angrily, and as he pointed out his sword, four Taoist swords burst out from his sleeves, turning into a sword formation and shrouding Gu Cheng.
These four Dao swords gathered the power of earth, wind, water and fire. The sword energy rotated, and the power of the four images connected and exploded. The power was quite impressive.
But Gu Cheng directly opened the Amitabha Dharma image and came. The huge Buddha shadow lay behind Gu Cheng. He punched down and directly shook the sword array. When the second punch landed, the light of the sword array dimmed instantly. When Gu Cheng landed the third punch,
One of the Dao swords could no longer withstand Gu Cheng's powerful power and shattered into pieces!
There was a look of horror in Taoist Qin's eyes. Gu Cheng's strength seemed to be stronger than when he preached in the capital in the past when the two sides clashed!
It wasn't that Gu Cheng didn't use all his strength last time, it was just that Gu Cheng didn't use his murderous intent.
Although he didn't know the details of Xian Qin Dao Sect at that time, the relationship between him and Li Yuangong was such that Gu Cheng couldn't kill someone directly.
Gu Cheng's martial arts and martial arts skills were either extremely fierce or ruthless and decisive, both of which were aimed at killing people. A tentative fight would inevitably compromise his combat power.
But now the two sides are engaged in a battle for the heir, and whoever loses will be doomed. Only at this time can Gu Cheng let go and kill as hard as he can.
Three punches shattered the opponent's Dao sword. Gu Cheng bent his bow and set an arrow in his hand, and the demon arrow Ye Luo shot out directly.
Taoist Qin's combat power is comparable to that of the Qi Refiners of the Four Realms. The moment Demon Arrow Ye Luo was shot, a vortex of Gang Qi rose up around him, instantly swallowing Demon Arrow Ye Luo into it.
But the strange thing is that the vortex of Gangqi actually emerged on the other side, and the demon arrow Yeluo emerged from it. Taoist Qin dodged the arrow perfectly.
But before Qin Taoist could be proud, the demon arrow Yeluo directly penetrated the disciples of the Immortal Qin Taoist Sect behind Qin Taoist one by one!
"Gu Cheng! You are shameless!"
Seeing this scene, Taoist Qin's face suddenly twisted and he was extremely angry.
