Inside the throne room.
The Fire Emperor and the Flaming Sun Princess had an ugly expression on their faces. All the ministers and officials were holding their breaths. The entire throne room was extremely tense and silent.
The Fire Emperor was emitting a strong killing intent that filled the entire throne room.
"Father …" The Flaming Sun Princess spoke softly, "Maybe things aren't as bad as we thought. Maybe the ancestors' Emperor's Energy hasn't been destroyed yet. Maybe it's Xu Que who activated the spell!"
The Fire Emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this. He nodded his head and replied, "That's right. The spell is extremely strong. With that little bastard's cultivation level, he won't be able to destroy it. We don't have to be so nervous until we reach the last step!"
As he spoke up to this point, the Fire Emperor's gaze swept out of the hall as he sucked in a deep breath. His face was filled with hatred as he spoke in a low voice, "Yan Yang, since things have come to this, we have to bring forward the Grand Sacrificial Ceremony!"
"Father, this …" The Flaming Sun Princess was taken aback.
"There's no need to say more. I understand what you mean. But this is the only way. Lady Ya's chastity was all for the Fire God."
The Fire Emperor waved his hands and interrupted the Flaming Sun Princess. "I'm guessing that it's because the Dragon Veins have deteriorated that the fate of the nation has been affected. Even the Imperial Tombs were entered by that kid from the Heavenly Explosion Faction. Hence, the sacrificial ceremony is our best option now."
...
To the Fire Emperor, the reason why he was defeated by Xu Que time and time again wasn't because of his lack of strength. It was because of his bad luck!
The fate of the nation represented the lifespan of the Fire Empire. It also represented the rise and fall of the Ji Family!
As long as the nation was strong, the Ji Family wouldn't be destroyed. On the contrary, if the nation's fate was weak, no matter what they did, the fate of the nation would be on their enemies' side.
Hence, the Fire Emperor believed that the Dragon Veins represented the fate of the nation and was closely linked to his own life!
As long as the virgin Lady Ya was offered to the Fire God as an offering, the power of the Dragon Vein would instantly flourish and the fate of the Fire Empire would not decline. Then, he would not fall no matter what!
"Go and get ready. Send someone to bring Lady Ya to the Imperial Mausoleum's altar. Once I'm done with the worship, I'll summon the blessings of the Fire God to consolidate the fate of the nation and condense the Emperor's Energy. That Xu Que will definitely die!"
The Fire Emperor waved his hand and made his decision. This was equivalent to giving the Flaming Sun Princess a decree.
The Flaming Sun Duke opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't refute.
In fact, she just felt a little reluctant. After all, Lady Ya was her aunt. Lady Ya had watched her grow up and loved her dearly. Now that she had to watch her become a sacrifice, it was difficult for her to do it!
But now, she knows that there is no other way. She can only sacrifice Lady Ya to protect the entire Fire Empire and everything of Ji Family!
"Flaming Sun Princess understands. I'll bring someone to fetch Lady Ya now!" The Flaming Sun Princess made her decision decisively as she turned around and left.
Zi Xuan had been listening by the side. However, she wasn't a member of the Ji Family and wasn't a citizen of the Fire Empire. Hence, she didn't have the right to interrupt when it came to such a big matter. Hence, she maintained her silence and followed the Flaming Sun Princess as she left.
After the two of them left, the Fire Emperor continued to sit on the Dragon Throne. He squinted his eyes and took a deep breath before closing his eyes.
None of the civil and military officials in the court dared to speak. They remained silent.
However, the joyous and joyous music continued to ring out from outside the palace.
Some of the officials couldn't stand the noisy music and were extremely impatient. However, they couldn't learn from the Fire Emperor and could only grit their teeth as they stood rooted to the ground. Their hearts were filled with frustration.
'What kind of dog sh * t music is this? Clouds in the sky? What kind of ethnic music is this?
'Eh?'
'You actually changed the song?'
'You're my little apple?'
'Vulgar, too vulgar. Such despicable lyrics and yet you dare to sing it so loudly. You're really shameless and uncultured!'
'Huh?'
'It changed again!'
'Fahai, you don't understand love? Leifeng Pagoda will fall? '
'Puff!'
Many of the officials almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Spicy chicken, too spicy chicken, this word is simply hard to look at!"
The officials cursed in their hearts. Their faces were filled with impatience as they shook their heads in disdain.
…
However, many of the generals in the palace were extremely excited. Their eyes were shining. If the Fire Emperor wasn't here, these burly men in the army would have performed a crazy dance to vent their emotions.
They all pricked up their ears to listen to the song. The more they listened, the more they liked it.
'You're my little apple. No matter how much I love you, it's never too much. Awesome, this song is simply perfect. It's straightforward and refreshing, and it's also catchy. It's perfect for women to listen to. '
"Unlike those self-righteous literati who are always mumbling nonsense that I can't even understand. They're so shy and shy, where's the slightest bit of manliness in them? Love should be shouted out like this! '
'Yo, you changed the song!'
'Fahai, you don't understand love. Leifeng Pagoda will fall?'
'Impressive, too impressive. This song sounds like the style of a master. It's obviously a song with a story!'
'It must be about a hero who was abandoned by a Fahai who didn't understand love, so he blew down a pagoda in a fit of anger!'
…
The officials and generals all had completely different attitudes towards Xu Que's song. However, it was undeniable that their minds were all on Xu Que's song!
Whether it was criticism or praise, they were all listening. Their Soul Strength was influenced step by step!
A Nascent Soul Realm civil official was absent-minded. Driven by the music, he hummed along, "Invincible is so, so …"
"Eh?" The Fire Emperor, who had been silent, suddenly opened his eyes.
A terrifying pressure gushed out and woke up the official who had hummed carelessly.
However, the Fire Emperor didn't intend to stop just like that. On the surface, he pretended to be calm and collected. In actual fact, he was extremely frustrated by Xu Que's melodies and wanted to kill someone!
Someone in his court was humming along with him? This is ridiculous!
The Fire Emperor's eyes were like that of a tiger watching its prey. He then looked down at the officials and shouted out angrily, "Who's singing?"
In the end, no one had the chance to speak.
The tune from outside the palace changed, and Xu Que's cheeky singing voice could be heard.
"Who is singing,
Warms the loneliness!
White clouds are floating in the blue sky, tears are drifting … "
"…"
All the officials immediately held back their laughter.
This … this is too much of a coincidence!
Just as the Fire Emperor shouted out, "Who's singing?", Xu Que replied with a song. Those who didn't know better would have thought that the both of them were singing to each other.
However, this was really a coincidence.
Xu Que had already lent part of his Soul Strength to the System. The System played a few songs in a loop.
But at this moment, his real body was already locked in battle with dozens of Tian Sha Assassins!
The huge black flame wings made him look like a demonic god.
He fought against the assassins with his bare fists. His spells were overflowing, and he fought in the air.
