The door to the main hall was closed again. Eunuch Gao looked inside and then closed his eyes.
See no evil, hear no evil.
That was the principle he had lived by for many years.
It was the only way he could live longer.
"You still have the face to come back?"
Dugu Batian sat there on his throne, looking as domineering as ever, as if the death of his son, Dugu Shengjian, hadn't changed at all.
He looked coldly at the Crown Princess below and asked coldly.
"Why can't I come back?"
She said with a smile.
"Back when the Ice Dynasty was in chaos, the imperial family was slaughtered, and you fled to the Sword Dynasty, where I took you in.
In fact, I married you to Dugu Shengjian.
You would have been the mother of all under heaven, and might even have had a chance to take back the position of empress.
But you just watched as the Crown Prince was killed, and did nothing! "
Dugu Batian's voice was filled with viciousness. "Tell me, Murong Qi! What exactly are you thinking? "
The Murong Clan had once been the imperial family of the Ice Dynasty, but had been usurped, and the Murong Clan had been virtually wiped out.
Murong Qi was probably the only member of the Murong Imperial Clan who had managed to survive.
"I like you, not Dugu Shengjian," Murong Qi said coolly.
"As far as I'm concerned, Dugu Shengjian is a piece of trash. But you're different.
You're the only one who can help me restore my dynasty. "
"What's the point of saying all that now?" Dugu Batian said with a sigh. "You're his wife. How could I possibly take away his future wife?
You still haven't explained why you didn't do anything. Even if he's a piece of trash, you shouldn't have just watched him die. "
"That's where you're wrong," Murong Qi said. "Everything happened too quickly, and I did try to help him. Sadly, I didn't succeed. By the time the dragon-devil puppet pulled him into the void, it was too late."
Murong Qi also sighed.
"Considering how strong you are, you could definitely kill Ling Xiao and get revenge for my son."
Murong Qi nodded.
"Do you really think that's possible? "That Ling Xiao killed a fifth division Lifeseizing devil dragon puppet. I've been working hard all this time, and am now at the peak of the fifth division.
He didn't want to fight a battle that he had no confidence in.
What's more, the people of Totto Land are there. If they find out and tell the people of Ice Dynasty, do you think I can still live?
Although my talent is outstanding, the Ice Dynasty is filled with experts, unlike the Sword Dynasty which is trash.
I don't want to be killed before I've grown up. "
Dugu Bajian fell silent.
Although Murong Qi's words were unreasonable, it was very reasonable.
His son had already died, and he didn't want to lose Murong Qi.
Helplessly shaking his head, he said, "What do you plan to do next?"
"Get the Fiendgod Token and go to the Immemorial Divine Tomb. Only there can I surpass them and become stronger, even surpassing the warriors of the Ice Dynasty.
Otherwise, if I continue to stay in the Sword Dynasty, I will definitely have no hope of turning things around. "
Murong Qi replied.
"You know how dangerous that place is. There are countless treasures, resources, and opportunities.
However, the people who went there usually had a slim chance of survival.
Only a handful of them actually made it back alive. "
Dugu Bajian frowned.
"However, those that survived were all exceptional talents. The reason why the Ice Dynasty had such a change back then was because there were people that returned alive from the Immemorial Divine Tomb and became incomparably powerful."
Murong Qi's eyes flashed with determination.
"It seems there's no point in trying to persuade you. However, you should know that other than the Sword Dynasty, none of the Nine Paragons are weak. They're all terrifying giants.
Peak fifth stage Lifeseizing?
In the eyes of others, they're nothing but trash. "
Dugu Bajian chuckled coldly. "But if you're determined to go, then come with me. The Sword Dynasty only has three Fiendgod Tokens, but that should be enough for the two of us."
"You have the Fiendgod Tokens?"
Murong Qi asked.
"How could that be!?"
Dugu Bajian said with a wry smile. "Why do you think I haven't sent troops to the Dragon-Mammoth Tribe? Is it really because I'm afraid of Ling Xiao?
No! That's not it! The Fiendgod and Fiendgod Envoys showed up, and told me that the situation in the Sword Dynasty has changed. Therefore, they've set up a fighting ring for the three Fiendgod Tokens. "
"When?"
Murong Qi asked.
"In a month, the Fiendgod and Fiendgod Envoys will release the energy of the Fiendgod Envoys. When that happens, the Sword Dynasty will have a location with a taiji symbol.
Dugu Bajian added.
"Alright! Got it. "
Murong Qi nodded, then turned and left.
After all these years of lying low, she had finally reached the fifth stage of Lifeseizing. No matter what, she had to get the Fiendgod Tokens and enter the Primeval God Necropolis.
….
The Dragon-Mammoth Tribe.
"How's the investigation going?"
Ling Xiao asked, looking at Wolf Head, the captain of the Sharp Blade Special Forces.
"Reporting to the Emperor, there are already clues. Just three days ago, a group of strangers appeared in a small city about ten miles away from the Dragon-Elephant Tribe.
They were very domineering, and as soon as they arrived, they occupied the city magistrate's mansion and killed the city magistrate.
Someone saw that one of them had left the small town today and returned later, but there seemed to be two more people with him. "
Wolf Head reported.
"Map!"
Ling Xiao said coldly.
As far as he was concerned, the Dragon-Mammoth Tribe was like a brother to him. Therefore, if someone dared to kidnap him, then that meant they had something to do with Ling Xiao.
He didn't care who they were, or where they came from. He had to save them.
"This is the place."
Wolf Head pointed at a small town on the map.
"Sect Uncle, I'll leave this place to you for now. I'll be right back."
Now that he knew where the Dragon-Mammoth Tribe was being held, he had no choice but to fly there.
"Why don't we just surround the town? It's our territory now."
Hime Myung-kō suggested.
"No. That would alert the enemy."
Ling Xiao shook his head. "I'll go alone. If I run into any trouble, I'll contact you.
When it comes to staying alive, no one in the world can compare to me. "
"Alright. You must be careful, Emperor."
Ling Xiao nodded and stepped out of the command center. He rose into the air like a phoenix soaring through the nine heavens, flying in the direction of the small city.
"Brother Dragon-Mammoth, wait for me. No matter who it is, I'll let him taste the price of death this time."
Ling Xiao's eyes were full of killing intent.
The person who kidnapped the Dragon-Mammoth Tribe was extremely ruthless. He only hoped that the Dragon-Mammoth Tribe hadn't been killed yet. Otherwise, even if he killed all of them, it would be of no use.
For Ling Xiao, the distance of five kilometers was covered in an instant.
When he arrived near the small town, he landed and walked towards the small town.
At this moment, the town had become a ghost town.
