As Ling Xiao and Empress Hongtian returned to the imperial palace, the imperial palace guards suddenly rushed towards them with a look of fear on their faces.
"Why are you so alarmed?"
Empress Hongtian frowned and glanced at Ling Xiao cautiously.
The guard's face was also stunned, and he looked at Ling Xiao in surprise.
Something looks familiar, let’s take another look?
"Who is this…"
"Who is this…"
Empress Hongtian's eyes trembled and she hesitated for a moment, but she didn't know how to introduce Ling Xiao.
She couldn't tell the guard in front of her that this was her master, the one who was going to destroy the original imperial city, right?
"I am the Taoist companion of Empress Hongtian."
Ling Xiao smiled gently, which immediately made Empress Hongtian's expression completely dull.
Taoist couple?!
Ever since she killed her Taoist companion with her own hands and attained the Taoist Emperor realm, she has never had a mortal heart again.
Now, this young man only used one sentence, and it actually made her heart palpitate, and she felt an inexplicable... longing.
"ah?!"
The imperial palace guard also opened his mouth wide and looked at a loss.
After a long while, he swallowed and nodded slowly, "Empress, something bad has happened. The soul cards of Princess Hongyue and Commander Hongli are all broken."
Hearing this, Empress Hongtian's eyes trembled slightly and she nodded sadly.
Although she had already guessed that with Ling Xiao's character, she would never let Hong Yue go.
But she still didn't expect that even Hongli would die in the lower three realms.
"I understand, go down."
Empress Hongtian waved her hand, and her whole figure suddenly seemed to have aged forever.
"Master, can I ask you something?"
"oh?"
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Tell me about it."
"I can be your slave girl forever. Please let go of these fairy creatures in the city."
Empress Hongtian sighed lightly. After all, she was the master of the original imperial city and had the responsibility to protect the immortal people in the city.
And when she thought of Ling Xiao's cruelty, Empress Hongtian felt an unspeakable fear in her heart.
"During the war between immortals and demons, did the immortals give the demons a way to survive?"
Ling Xiao shook his head and smiled, becoming a king and losing a bandit, the path to immortality is the right one.
"Owner…"
"Empress, Immortal Emperor Akihito would like to see you."
At this moment, the sound of breaking wind came from the void again in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, a majestic-looking middle-aged man wearing a golden robe stepped forward and appeared in front of Empress Hongtian and Ling Xiao.
Behind him, there was a young man with scars all over his body, his head hanging and his face slumped.
"Empress Hongtian."
Immortal Emperor Mingren bowed to Empress Hongtian, with a hint of coldness on his face.
At this time, his eyes glanced at Ling Xiao without any trace, and there was no trace of it. He just thought he was one of the guards of Empress Hongtian.
"Immortal Emperor Akihito, is there something wrong?"
Empress Hongtian frowned slightly, feeling that there was resentment in the eyes of this Immortal Emperor.
"Mingtang made a mistake and I have already punished him. I brought him here today to apologize to the empress and step down as the leader of the imperial city."
Akihito spoke in a low voice, grabbed Mingtang's head, and carried him over, "If you still don't kneel down, I beg the Empress for forgiveness."
"Empress! I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. It's just...it's just that those young people from the lower three realms were sneaky at that time. They knew they had plans for our imperial city at the first sight. I had no choice but to release the Void Demons...
"
There was a cry in Mingtang's voice, and he always lowered his head, not daring to look at Empress Hongtian.
"sneaking?"
Hearing this, Empress Hongtian suddenly showed a bitter smile on her face and quietly turned her head to look at Ling Xiao.
If her prediction was correct, the man Mingtang mentioned as the sneaky genius of the lower three realms should be this young master.
From this, it can be seen that Mingtang's guess was indeed good, and they did have a plot against the original imperial city.
"Yes! Empress, I suspect Long Heng..."
Mingtang slowly raised his head to look at Empress Hongtian, but when he saw the young man in black clothes and tied hair next to her, his face suddenly became dull.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously and gradually opened his mouth.
Especially at this time, the gentleness at the corner of Ling Xiao's mouth made him collapse to the ground as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
But Mingtang swallowed his saliva and pointed at Ling Xiao from a distance, "He...he is..."
"Buzz."
Before Mingtang could finish his words, he saw Empress Hongtian pushing her jade hand horizontally, turning into a bright spiritual seal, and directly crushed his body into pieces of flesh.
All this happened very quickly, in the blink of an eye.
Immortal Emperor Akihito's expression also became completely dull, and turned into a ferocious expression.
As his only son, Mingtang is the only bloodline inheritance of Immortal Emperor Akihito.
Even if he made some mistakes, Empress Hongtian should not be so decisive and kill him directly.
"Hongtian!! What are you doing!!"
Immortal Emperor Akihito roared angrily, and the golden glow around his body boiled, like an ancient divine sun suppressing the mountains and seas.
In an instant, the entire imperial city seemed to be emitting an ear-splitting roar, and thousands of rays of light shot into the sky.
"Hmm? Akihito, do you want to rebel?"
Empress Hongtian frowned. She killed Mingtang in order to temporarily preserve Akihito's lineage.
Otherwise, once he identifies Ling Xiao's identity, the consequences can be imagined.
Who would have thought that Immortal Emperor Akihito would be so ignorant of praise that he dared to challenge her majesty in public.
"Rebellion? Hongtian, do you really think that as the master of the Imperial City, you can decide our life and death at will? Don't forget, leaving aside the original Imperial City, you and I are both descendants of Baidi Mountain, why do you suppress and kill us?
My son?!"
Immortal Emperor Akihito clenched his teeth, not realizing that the disaster was about to come.
"He released the Void Demon Clan. Based on this alone, I can kill him, or even you."
Empress Hongtian looked indifferent and sighed softly in her heart.
After all, under these 190,000 years of stability, the original imperial city is no longer as united and harmonious as it used to be.
Behind each of the great Immortal Emperors, they all represent the inheritance of one side of the Emperor Mountain, and naturally they refuse to admit defeat to each other.
"Okay... let's see how you kill me!"
Immortal Emperor Akihito laughed in anger, and his figure slowly rose into the sky, casting down a thousand feet of divine light.
The void trembles!!
The terrifying emperor's majesty is overwhelming thousands of miles away, and the world is vast and vast.
Just as Empress Hongtian was about to open her mouth to scold him, she suddenly heard an indifferent and cold voice coming from behind her, "Since he wants to die, why are you still dawdling?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Empress Hongtian's eyes gleamed slightly, and there was a hint of bitterness in the corner of her mouth.
You will not live if you do your own evil.
"In that case..."
Empress Hongtian looked up at Immortal Emperor Akihito and said in a cold tone, "I'll kill you with one palm."
"Arrogant!!"
Immortal Emperor Mingren frowned and looked down at the figure in black behind Empress Hongtian, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
From his tone just now, Immortal Emperor Akihito actually heard a hint of...command?
Who is he? He dares to order Empress Hongtian, and... the latter seems to be very cooperative?
hiss…
"Buzz."
Just when Immortal Emperor Mingren was in shock, he saw Empress Hongtian actually raising a jade hand and pushing towards him.
