Xia Wanan shook her head. For the first time, she used her real identity to speak to Jia Nanfeng.
"What right does a person like you have to ask me to agree to your request? And you're asking for two things at once."
Hearing this, Jia Nanfeng's face became even more desperate. Tears gushed out of her eyes as she begged.
"Xia Wanan, I admit that I've indeed let you and your mother down. It's right for you to seek revenge on me now, but the grudge between us has nothing to do with others. If you have any resentment, just come at me. Don't implicate Xia Qi and Jiang Yin. What's more, they're still your brother and sister in name!"
Xia Wanan sneered. "Your son and daughter deserve to be loved, but I don't, right?"
"Back then, when you urged my father to banish my mother into the cold palace, did my mother beg you not to implicate me? What did you do?"
"It's none of my business!" Jia Nanfeng tried her best to explain. "It wasn't my idea to banish you and Su Feng into the cold palace. You can't blame this on me!"
"Back then, His Majesty didn't like your mother. It was all because of your grandfather that His Majesty was forced to make Su Feng empress …"
"Shut up."
Xia Wanan interrupted her. "I'm not interested in knowing what happened in the past. I just want to settle all the grudges with you. Don't take any chances. Whether it's you, Xia Jiangyin, Xia Qi, or even your father, Jia Youde, I won't let you off."
"You … you're so ruthless!"
Jia Nanfeng's face was covered in tears. She had never felt so desperate before.
"Then you can help your father, right?" she suddenly shouted.
"Xia Kingdom is now in danger of being destroyed. You're so strong. With your help, His Majesty will definitely be able to survive this crisis!"
"You don't have to worry about my father," Xia Wanan said coldly.
"I'll naturally give him a decent death. At least, it'll be more decent than yours."
"You actually want to kill your father?!"
Jia Nanfeng's eyes widened.
She knew that Xia Wanan would definitely make a big fuss in order to vent her resentment, but she didn't expect her to be so vicious.
Xia Wanan didn't say anything. She didn't confirm or deny it.
"As the master of the imperial harem, I'm also your mother in name. You actually killed your mother, your father, and your brothers and sisters. You're completely devoid of conscience. You're not even worthy of being called a human. I'll fight it out with you!"
Jia Nanfeng's expression gradually changed from despair to anger. With a roar, he bumped into Xia Wanan. He only hoped that she could give him a quick death under her subconscious counterattack and not torture and humiliate him too much.
Unfortunately, her plan was foiled.
Xia Wan 'an's jade hand lightly reached out and easily grabbed her neck, lifting her into the air.
Looking at the other party's pained and struggling appearance, she said word by word, "The one who is unworthy of being called a human is you."
"Soul Search, Grand Art."
Boom!
Xia Wan 'an didn't want to obtain Jia Nanfeng's memories. Instead, she wanted to use the Soul Searching Technique to erase her soul inch by inch. This kind of soul shattering pain was a thousand times worse than death by a thousand cuts. Moreover, it would cause Jia Nanfeng's soul to scatter and completely disappear. Even her hope of reincarnation would be cut off.
"Ahhhhh!"
Heart-Wrenching screams resounded throughout the entire Mental Cultivation Hall. It was incomparably mournful and only stopped after a long while.
Xia Wan 'an casually threw away the cold corpse in her hand as if she was discarding garbage.
She originally thought that she would definitely be elated after taking revenge on Jia Nanfeng. However, now that Jia Nanfeng had already died in her hands, she didn't feel that elation. Instead, her heart felt empty.
From today onwards, there would be no more enemies in this world that she would hate to the core.
After being alone in the Mental Cultivation Hall for a while and calming down, Xia Wan 'an waved her hand and put away the spiritual energy shield. She then leaped out of the Mental Cultivation Hall.
When the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty and the others saw her leaving figure, they seemed to have realized something and hurriedly rushed into the Mental Cultivation Hall.
They saw Jia Nanfeng lying alone on the cold tiles with his eyes tightly shut and a hideous and painful expression on his face. It was as if he had been subjected to some inhumane torture before he died.
"Nanfeng …"
Xia Qingshan wailed and quickly stepped forward to hug his empress tightly while tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.
"Nanfeng, I've let you down. I couldn't protect you …"
"Who exactly did I provoke? Why are they treating me like this!?!"
The royal consecrators stood silently at the side. They could understand Xia Qingshan's despair as he was surrounded by enemies. The mysterious person who killed the empress was an existence that the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't afford to provoke.
…
…
After flying out of the Mental Cultivation Hall, Xia Wan 'an didn't leave the palace immediately and instead headed to Yichuan Palace where Xia Qi was.
When she arrived, Xia Qi and a group of palace maids were hiding under the bed and shivering, for fear that the assassin would kill them.
Xia Wan 'an didn't have much hatred for Xia Qi. Hence, she didn't torture her too much like how she tortured her mother. Instead, she just gave her a light slap and didn't hurt any of the palace maids.
She then headed to the East Palace where Xia Jiangyin lived, but this time, she didn't find anyone.
Xia Jiangyin had long been killed by the group of men in black. At this moment, his head was separated from his body and he was lying in a pool of blood. There was no need for Xia Wan 'an to do anything else.
At this point, the night of revenge finally came to an end. Xia Wan 'an didn't have anyone else to kill and left the palace alone, just like when she came.
…
…
A red sun slowly rose into the sky and dawn broke.
The four emperors of the Zhou Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, Qi Dynasty, and Han Dynasty were all sitting in the imperial study of the Great Zhou Dynasty's palace. This scene was unprecedented in the history of the Cangxuan Continent.
However, even though the four emperors were gathered together, the one sitting on the main seat was a thin, masked middle-aged man. He looked out of the window and remained silent.
The atmosphere in the imperial study fell silent along with the masked man, and everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.
After a long silence, a black eagle suddenly flapped its wings and flew past the window. A consecrated of the Zhou Dynasty disappeared on the spot and by the time he reappeared, the black eagle was already in his hand.
He removed the letter tube from the black eagle's leg and handed it to the masked man on the main seat. "Lord Immortal, this is the information sent back by the spy we planted in the Great Xia Dynasty's palace."
Hearing this, the four emperors' breathing immediately became unstable. They were well aware that if the plan last night had gone smoothly, there would have been no need for the spy to send a letter because the consecrated of the royal family would have returned with the head of the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Now that the consecrated of the royal family had yet to return and only a letter from the spy came back, wouldn't it indirectly mean that the plan had failed?
The masked man reached out to take the letter tube and spread it out in front of him.
After a while, he said unhurriedly,
"The decapitation operation has failed."
"What?"
"How could it have failed? We clearly sent so many consecrated of the four empires! "
The four emperors couldn't stay calm and were in an uproar.
