Chapter 12407
Yang Qing'er asked in a low voice, "What does Young Master Li think?"
Li Tianguo raised an eyebrow: "It's hard to say."
Yang Qing'er smiled knowingly: "It seems that Young Master Li already has the answer."
The two exchanged cryptic remarks, leaving everyone completely bewildered.
Li Tianguo did not pursue them relentlessly.
The events surrounding the final meeting were far from ordinary. If the other party were pushed too far and their secrets were exposed in public, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't resort to desperate measures.
Besides, some things wouldn't be so interesting if they were brought up face to face.
As the two were talking, the two sides in the game on the sand table had already begun their offensive and defensive maneuvers.
Li Chaogui continued to spout trash talk, his intentions obvious: he wanted to force Lin Yi to break down and ideally make Lin Yi give up on the game.
Only in that way could he truly be infallible.
Unfortunately, Lin Yi remained unmoved from beginning to end.
"Not saying anything? Trying to act all high and mighty, huh?"
Li Chaogui scoffed: "The real expert is the one who can win. Look at the situation yourself. You, the Empress, have been infiltrated like a sieve. How dare you pretend to be an expert?"
Given the combined abilities of both empresses, Lin Yi's side was at a disadvantage from the very beginning of the match.
Even when the opponent had the advantage, they did not make any rash moves and proceeded cautiously step by step, without revealing any weakness.
From anyone's perspective, the outcome of this match was already predetermined; the rest of the game was just garbage time.
Unless the other party makes a mistake intentionally, and it can't be a small mistake, it has to be a decisive and serious one!
It's unrealistic to pin your hopes on this.
The problem is that Lin Yi, as the operator, can indeed exert a certain influence on the sand table.
But there is one prerequisite.
It must conform to the protagonist's character design, and at the same time, it cannot exceed the protagonist's ability limits.
Otherwise, they would be contradicting their own image, and the competition would not recognize them at all, and they might even be directly judged as losing.
Moreover, just as Lin Yi can manage the market, Li Chaogui on the other side can do the same.
All these factors combined make it extremely difficult for Lin Yi to turn the tide, especially as time goes on and the opponent accumulates more and more advantages, the slimmer his chances of a comeback become.
At this point, the field was beset by internal and external troubles.
Not only are there powerful enemies pressing in from the outside, but the bombs planted in our own court are also beginning to explode simultaneously.
"Return power to the Li Tang dynasty? Isn't that a coup?"
From the perspective of those watching from the sidelines, the situation had reached a point where Lin Yi's chances of winning were completely over.
Li Tianguo, however, stroked his chin meaningfully: "This Li Tang? Could it be the Li Tang of the Heavenly Khan?"
Cao Luoshen and the others from the side sect were all taken aback.
Looking back at the Empress's initial rise to power, the title "Wu Mei" was bestowed upon her by Emperor Taizong. However, upon reviewing various signs, this Emperor Taizong shared many similarities with the previous Heavenly Khan.
Even if it's the same person, it's not unreasonable.
But if it really is the same person, is the one in the arena just borrowing a few things, or is the Heavenly Khan a character he created himself?
If it's the latter, things will get really interesting.
Don't forget, the Heavenly Khan is widely recognized as the masterpiece of the Great Emperor who ended the reign of Emperor Taizong.
But until just now, the Emperor of Termination was clearly in the track lobby and had not even left the track.
When the final race began on this track, the Terminator disappeared before everyone's eyes. Following this logic, the person in the arena could not possibly be the Terminator.
You can't say there are two End Emperors, can you?
Yang Qing'er's eyelids twitched. Seeing everyone looking at her, she immediately steeled herself and said, "Please don't misunderstand, what you just saw was not the Emperor of Ending, but the Emperor's plenipotentiary envoy."
"As for the true form of the Emperor of Ending, as everyone has seen."
"After finishing the 'Powerful Minister' track, we came directly to the 'Emperor' track here."
"The Emperor is prepared to achieve a double victory within a single day!"
The whole place was in an uproar.
Li Tianguo and his two companions exchanged strange glances.
Cao Luoshen curled her lip: "This woman has quite the nerve."
Li Tianguo raised an eyebrow: "They were probably forced into a corner and had no choice but to take a desperate gamble."
This is clearly Yang Qing'er doing crisis public relations.
Now that these words have been spoken, if the person in the arena fails to end the Emperor's Race, it will not only be a slap in the face for Yang Qing'er, but for the entire Termination Committee.
But she had no choice.
Things had suddenly developed to this point, and if she didn't say this, the consequences would only be worse if Lin Yi ended her race.
It's a big gamble.
Li Chaogui, who was in the arena, was unaware of these things and didn't care to pay attention to them.
At this moment, all he could see was his own side pressing forward relentlessly while the enemy retreated step by step.
All he has to do now is to collude with the opposing court forces and force the opposing empress to return power to the Li Tang dynasty.
If this succeeds, it will mean that the other side's empress route has completely failed.
In this way, the winner can naturally be determined.
On Lin Yi's side, the Wu Zetian in the sand table did not give up and wait for death. Taking advantage of the home field, she once created signs of turning defeat into victory.
But this is only a sign.
"In her later years, she returned power to the Li Tang dynasty! She relinquished the title of Empress Wu Zetian and erected a blank stele for public comment!"
From any perspective, Lin Yifang suffered a complete defeat in this match.
Li Chaogui laughed triumphantly: "I told you long ago, you tried to draw a tiger but ended up with a dog! With your meager skills, you think you're qualified to follow my path as an empress?"
"Why bother with a blank stele? It's just a pretentious attempt to create mystery and only makes people laugh!"
Everyone outside the arena was watching Yang Qing'er.
Yang Qing'er's face turned deathly pale.
She had just boasted in public that the man in the arena was the Emperor of Termination, but now he clearly looks utterly defeated!
She can't just insist that Li Chaogui was the one who ended the reign, can she?
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, the key is that Li Chaogui herself has to believe it. Why would anyone cooperate with her in impersonating the End Emperor?
Regardless of the potential benefits, the risks are certainly very real.
One wrong move and you'll be swallowed up, leaving not even a bone fragment.
Li Chaogui may be arrogant, but he is never a fool.
"Vice President? What's going on?"
The first to ask a question were members of the Termination Society, who all firmly believed in the existence of the Termination Emperor.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sold everything they owned and spent so much to join the Termination Society.
They were the group most deeply bewitched by Yang Qing'er, and also the group that suffered the most.
If problems arise, they will be the first to suffer the consequences.
Yang Qing'er choked for a moment: "This..."
Just then, the race ended and the Emperor's Track officially closed. Li Chaogui was then teleported in front of everyone, instantly becoming the focus of attention.
"Are you here too?"
Li Chaogui glanced at Li Tianguo with no doubt of surprise, his face revealing undisguised smugness and arrogance.
This victory in the Emperor Track was undoubtedly a triumphant moment for him personally, and at the very least, it proved his ability.
