The Emperor looked at the Second Prince and said, “You are now the new Emperor of Lingyun, but I can give you some advice. We’re not a match for the other four kingdoms. Just give Qingfeng up.”
Qingfeng didn’t say anything, only looking at the Second Prince, because he knew that the Second Prince thought otherwise.
Shortly afterwards, the Second Prince shook his head and said, “You were brought back to life thanks to the monarch soul fruit that Qingfeng brought back.”
Then the Second Prince told the Emperor of the dangers they faced inside the Crimson Fire Desert, and how it was Qingfeng who killed the other four kingdoms’ princes and the final disciples of the three supreme sects.
The Emperor’s face changed when he heard the Second Prince, as his face turned initially white, then green. Hesitation, fear, and all sorts of complex emotions appeared on his face.
Qingfeng believed that the Emperor’s feelings now must range from gratitude to fear. Gratitude towards Qingfeng for having brought him back the monarch soul fruit, but also fear of Qingfeng’s great power and brutality.
Qingfeng had killed all of the Crown Princes of the other four kingdoms, so the Emperors of those kingdoms would never forgive him. If his kingdom refused to give up Qingfeng, then it would be exterminated.
The Emperor looked at Qingfeng with complexity, then at the Second Prince, and said, “I’ve already given the throne to you. You are now the new Emperor of Lingyun, so it’s all up to you to decide.”
After he spoke, the old Emperor closed his eyes and rested.
The Second Prince looked at the old Emperor with gratitude in his eyes. He knew that the Emperor trusted him and also let Qingfeng off the hook, since the Emperor gave him the power to decide.
The Second Prince looked at Qingfeng and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll never give you up.”
Qingfeng smiled lightly, and patted the Second Prince’s shoulder as he smiled, feeling quite comforted.
Qingfeng said, “Second Prince, I’m very happy to hear this from you. This means that you treasure me as a friend. However, I can’t harm Lingyun. If I stay in the Imperial Palace, then the four other Emperors will trample Lingyun, so I must go.”
The Second Prince opened his mouth as if to say something, but Qingfeng waved his hand to stop the Second Prince.
Qingfeng turned to leave without any hesitation, as he waved, he left nothing behind.
Without any word, Mengyao Xu followed behind Qingfeng, just as Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, Li Yang, and the desert giant followed as well.
The Second Prince shouted loudly behind, “Qingfeng, where are you going?”
Qingfeng said without looking back, “It was I alone who killed the four Crown Princes of the other four kingdoms, and I won’t drag Lingyun into my feud. I’m going to battle the four Emperors at border.”
After he spoke, his body appeared outside the Imperial Palace, and he then led Mengyao and the others towards the kingdom’s border.
Along the way, Qingfeng saw many refugees. They were either regular humans or self-cultivators of Lingyun, but all of them were covered with wounds on their faces, chests, arms, and legs.
Many had tears in their eyes from great sadness.
Qingfeng stopped and approached a seven-year-old girl. This girl had wounds all over her face and was found alone crying and running through the crowd.
He stopped and pulled on the girl’s hands, wiped her tears off, and asked quietly, “What happened?”
This girl was initially very afraid, scared that she met a bad person, but when she saw the smile on Qingfeng’s face, she stopped crying just as the fear in her slowly disappeared.
The girl said with teary eyes, “I used to live at the borders of Lingyun, but the Emperor of Fiery-Sun led a million troops into my village, and killed my grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, and uncles. I only managed to escape with Little Flower by hiding in the mountains.”
Qingfeng frowned and asked, “Who is Little Flower?”
A puppy beside the little girl said, “I am.”
Qingfeng then noticed a small Puppy with rainbow-colored fur.
He realized that this Puppy was a demonic beast with a powerful cultivation. No wonder it managed to rescue this little girl.
However, in the next moment, Qingfeng rolled his eyes in speechlessness, because he saw Black Puppy flirting with Little Flower.
This colourful dog was female, with smooth fur, and was fairly attractive, so Black Puppy immediately grew a crush on it and began courting it.
Even Sky-Devouring Snake looked at Black Puppy with disdain.
Qingfeng kicked Black Puppy and said, “What are you doing? Let’s leave immediately.”
Qingfeng then turned to the little girl to say, “Don’t worry, I’ll kill the Fiery-Sun Emperor and his army to avenge your family.”
His body formed into a whirlwind that flew towards the border of Lingyun.
He deeply felt the disaster that he brought upon Lingyun, for many self-cultivators and regular citizens were killed at the border, as many more were displaced.
Black Puppy looked at the colourful puppy longingly, then turned to follow behind Qingfeng.
Sky-Devouring Snake, Mengyao Xu, Li Yang, and the desert giant all followed as well. They were with Qingfeng and were willing to die with him.
Now from all four directions, Lingyun was being attacked by the four Emperors. The city walls crumpled, buildings were torn, and self-cultivators and citizens were killed.
The Fiery-Sun Emperor attacked Lingyun from the east. He wore a red gown with red fire seal scripts on the sleeves, that fluttered menacingly as he soared into the sky, with his million soldiers standing beneath him. He first unleashed a palm strike that destroyed the defensive array formation of a city, killing many powerful self-cultivators and demonic beasts.
Then the troops beneath him poured in and butchered everyone in their sight.
The Fiery-Sun Emperor was brutal; he destroyed everything, as not even the demonic beasts or trees were left undestroyed.
