“You deserve to die!” Lin Xi looked at this even more crazy Yunqin Emperor wrapped within burning red vital energy, speaking slowly, one word after another.

“If the one who chose to destroy this beautiful story wasn’t me, would you still choose to hand the imperial position back to the Changsun Clan?” Yunqin Emperor’s face carried rapt joy. He looked at Lin Xi, quietly saying this.

Lin Xi picked up even more deeper meanings from these words.

He entered a state of silence. His entire body was dripping with blood, but it also seemed to evaporate along with the rippling of the red vital energy.

This Yunqin Emperor who was even more powerful than before roared with laughter, starting to move. The air around him was crushed, releasing flame raging and rumbling noises as he approached Lin Xi.

Lin Xi raised his head slightly.

He didn’t make any moves.

The reason why he alone attacked Yunqin Emperor was only because of True Dragon Mountain’s threat, only because he wanted to crush the last source of power Yunqin Emperor could rely on. However, this didn’t mean that the others weren’t in Central Continent City.

There were many people who shared even deeper sentiment with this Qilin. Right now, their hearts definitely felt even greater pain.

The moment he silently raised his head slightly, an exploding sound erupted in the skies.

This exploding noise was even greater than that of lightning crashing and thunder rumbling, even more filled with rage!

A streak of arrow radiance that burned even more fiercely than the midday sun smashed through the multicolored clouds. It even made it hard for everyone to breathe and aimed at the emperor’s body.

The emperor laughed crazily. The majestic red colored vital energy surged like a small mountain. That streak of arrow radiance became more and more clear under the red vital energy, ultimately becoming a massive golden arrow. Under the red vital energy, it began to melt into drops of metal liquid.

Even this type of arrow was broken down by Yunqin Emperor. As a cultivator, Yunqin Emperor had never felt so powerful before.

However, this type of power instead furthered uncovered memories buried under dust.

“Where is Principal Zhang?!”

“Does Principal Zhang’s disappearance have anything to do with you or not?!”

“Where is Principal Zhang?!”

More and more people felt the wrath from this arrow. Countless furious voices sounded inside and outside the Imperial Palace.

More than ten aged figures made their way out from among the officials and Imperial City Guards. They didn’t press towards Lin Xi, but instead rushed at the exceptionally powerful Yunqin Emperor with grief and indignation.

Outside the Imperial Palace, the people who had originally stopped outside the plaza also began to cross over the areas normally not permitted by Yunqin law, swarming towards the Imperial Palace like a tide.

At this moment, Yunqin Emperor didn’t continue to attack. Instead, he looked at Lin Xi, and with a crazy and ridiculing tone, he said quietly, “This Yunqin… in the minds of everyone here was just that beautiful. Your Green Luan Academy has also made Yunqin’s people feel that this empire is full of glory, full of marvel. Now that I made everything no longer appear that beautiful and instead cruel, do you not feel even a hint of disappointment or pain inside right now?”

“You had the True Dragon Guards ambush Principal Zhang behind Heaven Ascension Mountain Range?” Lin Xi took a deep breath, and then he looked into the emperor’s eyes, asking, “Is Principal Zhang still alive or has he already died?”

“I won’t tell you anything.” Yunqin Emperor roared with laughter. He looked at Lin Xi with a cruel expression, using a voice only he and Lin Xi could hear to say, “All of these secrets will be taken with me to the grave.”

Countless people swarmed towards Yunqin Emperor.

At this point, not even Lin Xi had a chance of stopping these countless people overwhelmed with powerful emotions.

“If you cannot kill me, then I can kill many people.” Yunqin Emperor laughed crazily. “You should understand that I will not hold back at all at this type of time.”

Lin Xi knew that Yunqin Emperor spoke the truth.

From the very start when he broke through into the sacred level, his body already couldn’t endure a Devil Transformation. That was why right now, he could only release his own flying sword with all of his strength.

Countless air ripping sounds rushed at Yunqin Emperor.

All of the arrows and soul weapons, including Lin Xi’s flying sword, were completely blasted flying by the red vital energy that erupted from Yunqin Emperor’s body.

However, there were even more noises that sounded continuously, and these noises were even more concentrated.

…

The surging tide of people swept towards the Imperial City’s central main street.

Endless things smashed towards Yunqin Emperor’s body.

Apart from many soul weapons, even more were random things… bricks, silver taels, shoes, many people threw anything they could throw out.

All of these people who were tossed and turned by all types of emotions only wanted to strike down Yunqin Emperor, to ask about the matters pertaining to Principal Zhang. In everyone’s subconscious thoughts, this type of powerful Yunqin Emperor had no chance of being killed by their things.

However, no one had ever truly faced the scene of having countless things thrown at them.

Even if it was a Sacred Expert whose body and soul force were at their very peak, they might not be able to deal with this type of scene, let alone this Yunqin Emperor they faced who was already prepared for death.

All of the radiance around this seemingly incomparably powerful Yunqin Emperor who was wrapped in roiling red vital energy suddenly disappeared.

His body, under the strikes of countless items, became a blast of badly mangled flesh, and then there were countless random items that were instantly piled up on his corpse.

Many people finally made their way up to Yunqin Emperor.

When they finally realized that Yunqin Emperor already became a badly mangled pile of flesh, many people began to weep.

Lin Xi picked up his own sword, and then stood amidst this tide of people.

In the hearts of all of Yunqin’s people, Principal Zhang was an invincible existence. He and Yunqin’s beloved late emperor established Yunqin Empire together… This was an exceptionally beautiful story. However, behind this beautiful story hid a tremendous conspiracy. Now, all of these Yunqin people would begin to doubt many events and emotions they thought were sincere and true, to the extent where they would even doubt this empire that was built on countless stories of glory.

Zhang Ping looked at this city that went out of control from a certain alley outside the Imperial Palace.

When Yunqin Emperor used a power he had never used before, making this entire city lose control, his grim expression didn’t show any changes. Instead, he sank into a momentary state of thought.

…

“Where is Principal Zhang? Where exactly is Principal Zhang?”

Someone tugged on Lin Xi’s sleeves, asking him.

Then, more and more people gathered here, asking this question.

Lin Xi didn’t know the answer to this question either. Moreover, he couldn’t be certain that he would obtain the answer if he entered Heaven Ascension Mountain Range.

However, he knew that there had to be some type of control over this type of matter, that he had to say something. Otherwise, what would be destroyed would not only be this Imperial Palace, but rather the entire Yunqin Empire.

“Changsun Jinse incited the True Dragon Guards to lay an ambush behind Heaven Ascension Mountain Range. They wanted to kill Principal Zhang, but they didn’t succeed.”

“Principal Zhang is wandering in the unknown lands behind Heaven Ascension Mountain Range.”

He began to speak, explaining the conclusion he reached.

“Then why hasn’t Principal Zhang appeared after all these years?”

“He didn’t want to personally kill the son of an old friend, he wanted to give Changsun Jinse an opportunity to repent.”

Lin Xi knew that as long as he replied, there would be even more questions, that it will bring even more suspicion or holes. That was why he only raised his head to look at the surging crowd, saying with an exceptionally firm voice, “Trust me, trust Green Luan Academy. We will properly deal with everything.”

After saying this, Lin Xi walked up to some Yunqin officials whose faces were extremely pale, but could still maintain a bit of composure, saying with a quiet voice, “All of you should know what to do.”

Then, he slowly walked through the palace gates.

The human tide subconsciously followed him.

Many people who didn’t hear his words yet also wanted to obtain some answers from him.

The people who swarmed into the Imperial Palace also began to follow him out of the Imperial City.

Those Yunqin officials clenched their teeth, starting to carry out their duty. The imperial bodyguards and other soldiers were slowly transferred to maintain order.

Lin Xi continued to walk forward. He knew that time could make these Yunqin people calm down again.

There were some people that rushed up to his side.

As he continued walking, there were many people who rushed to his side. However, when a certain person crammed to his side, Lin Xi felt a thin paper scroll suddenly appear in his hands.

He was able to see this person clearly. This person had his head lowered, seemingly no different from any of Central Continent City’s people.

No one noticed this slightly chubby middle-aged man.

Only quite a while after this slightly chubby middle-aged man disappeared from his sight, did Lin Xi recall that this man was named Zhen Kuai, that he was previously Wenren Cangyue’s subordinate, previously a skinny person.

…

In True Dragon Mountain, Nangong Weiyang stood in front of a giant metal pillar.

At the very center of this metal pillar was a formation circle. In that circle sat that fingerless True Dragon Guard who previously chased her out.

Right now, her strength already far exceeded this incredibly old True Dragon Guard.

However, even now, she couldn’t kill this True Dragon Guard.

It was because there was endless True Dragon Gem embedded at the very top of this massive metal pillar reaching several meters above the ground. Under the infusion of this True Dragon Guard’s soul force, endless sacred level power rushed out, forming several layers of golden lightning barriers around his body.

She acted according to Lin Xi’s suggestion, entering True Dragon Mountain after the heaven’s rage like thunderstorm disappeared.

However, True Dragon Mountain was extremely high, allowing one to vaguely make out everything in Central Continent City.

That was why she didn’t have any plans to take action either, instead only looking at this True Dragon Guard, seriously bowing in respect and asking, “Could you tell me the ultimate result of your battle with Principal Zhang?”

Her question was extremely direct, just as if she was respectfully consulting a teacher.

However, when she spoke these words, that True Dragon Guard who was originally just pouring out his soul force to prevent himself from being killed by Nangong Weiyang instead revealed a bitter smile.

A pu noise sounded.

All of the remaining soul force in his body erupted. Following Nangong Weiyang’s question, his body completely disappeared from the center of the metal formation circle.
