"No, it must be wrong. There must be a master in the forbidden area. Although father didn't say it, I can't forget the look in his eyes. I will never forget it!"
Zhao Lin said to himself crazily, "Father was very scared. That … that was a look of awe … I … I have never seen father so panicked …"
Suddenly, Zhao Lin grabbed Empress Li's shoulder and shook it. "Do you know that back then, the First Prince accidentally trespassed into the forbidden grounds and Imperial Father strangled the First Prince to death?"
"The eldest prince?"
"He was father's most beloved son, but father killed him with his own hands. Killed him!"
Zhao Lin said to himself crazily. He fell into a silent fear, as if he was recalling the scene of the past. His body trembled slightly.
"But … but what does this have to do with Your Majesty?" Empress Li knew about this, but she didn't understand why Zhao Lin would mention it again.
"How can this have nothing to do with me? Because I was the one who lured the eldest prince into the forbidden area! "
Zhao Lin smiled bitterly, which made Empress Li's expression change. She didn't expect Zhao Lin to do such a despicable thing.
"It's all in the past. Your Majesty, don't mention it again!" Empress Li held Zhao Lin in her arms and tried to soften her voice as much as possible to comfort Zhao Lin.
"No, I must mention it. Back then, after Royal Father killed the First Prince, he knelt here just like he is now, as if he was apologizing to someone. At that time, I knew that there must be an extraordinary person in this forbidden area." Zhao Lin's lips were pale, and his voice was extremely certain.
Zhao Lin said a lot of secrets that day, which made Empress Li tremble with fear. But now, none of this was important, because in three days, the small Holy Empire would cease to exist.
The sun set and night fell. Zhao Lin finally retreated, because no matter how much he begged the existence in the forbidden area, he didn't get any response.
…
Three days later!
The country was destroyed, and the cries shook the sky.
The gate of the small Holy Empire was broken, and millions of soldiers marched in. Countless people died in the city, and a large number of Ao Lai's soldiers burned, killed, and looted, causing the entire capital to fall into a bloody storm.
Imperial Palace!
The Great General of Ao Lai Country led an army of thirty thousand and charged straight in. Every time he slashed out, he would take away a large number of lives. When he saw the beautiful palace maids and concubines, he would capture them and enjoy them after the battle ended.
Bang!
The palace door was blown to smithereens, and General Ao Lai strode in. However, the scene that greeted him left him stunned. Then, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Zhao Lin, I thought you had already escaped. I didn't expect you to still have the spirit of a king and still stay in the palace." General Ao Lai sneered.
On the Emperor's Throne, Zhao Lin was wearing the Emperor's Robe with nine dragons. There wasn't any fear on his face. He looked at General Ao Lai calmly.
"I am the Son of Heaven. Even if I become the ruler of a fallen country, I will live and die with my country," Zhao Lin said in a dignified voice.
"Haha!"
General Ao Lai laughed contemptuously. Then, he looked around and said, "Your so-called dignity is nothing but bullshit in my eyes. Today, not only will you die, but everyone in your Zhao Clan will die as well."
"Li Guang, you are the general of Ao Lai Country. I have heard that you have killed countless people. Wherever you go, you leave nothing behind. Since you want to exterminate my Zhao Clan, then follow me."
Zhao Lin got up from the Emperor's Throne and walked towards the Imperial Garden. Li Guang smiled coldly. He wasn't afraid of Zhao Lin playing any tricks because the entire capital was surrounded by his million-strong army. No one could save the lives of the Zhao Clan.
At the end of the Imperial Garden, the blood-red stone tablet was extremely eye-catching.
All the members of the Zhao Clan were sitting cross-legged on both sides of the stone tablet. When Zhao Lin walked in front of his clansmen, he looked into the depths of the forbidden area with a last glimmer of hope.
Zhao Lin knew that he had reached a dead end. Right now, only the existence of this forbidden land might be able to turn the tide. This was also the reason why he had gathered the descendants of his clan here.
"Zhao Lin, I don't care what tricks you want to play. Today, you and your clansmen will die here."
Li Guang naturally saw the blood-colored stone tablet. However, he didn't have any fear in his heart. He unsheathed the steel sword in his hand and led many soldiers to surround Zhao Lin and the others.
Bang!
Suddenly, Zhao Lin knelt in front of the blood-colored stone tablet. His voice was sorrowful and desperate as he said, "Senior, please save the lives of my Zhao Clan."
"Today, no one can save you!"
Li Guang smiled coldly and slashed at Zhao Lin with his sword. This also made the Zhao Clan cry out in alarm. Zhao Lin clenched his fists and stared at the depths of the forbidden area. However, there was a flash of despair in his eyes.
Was there really no expert in the forbidden area?
Was everything just his own conjecture?
The chill of the steel sword made Zhao Lin's hair stand on end. This also made him smile bitterly in despair. He could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Buzz!
Time seemed to have stopped and space seemed to have frozen. This part of the world suddenly stagnated. There was even a gust of wind that blew through the world and blew away the clouds in the depths of the forbidden area.
A slender figure slowly walked out of the fog. There was no power around him, nor was there any aura. However, when he opened and closed his eyes, it was as if the stars in the sky were rotating in his eyes.
Tap — tap — tap.
It was as if thunder from the Ninth Heaven exploded, as if the waves of the vast ocean were attacking. Ye Xuan's eyes frowned slightly. There was only indifference and ruthlessness in his eyes. However, with every step he took, the world in all directions was distorted to the extreme. It was as if it would collapse at any time.
"This … this is the existence that Father is afraid of?"
When Zhao Lin saw Ye Xuan walk out of the forbidden area, he was completely stunned. However, his body kept trembling because he knew that their Zhao Clan might be saved.
Not only Zhao Lin, but the other members of the Zhao Clan also looked at Ye Xuan in a daze. They did not know what relationship Ye Xuan had with their Zhao Clan.
"Who … who are you?"
Li Guang's body was tensed up. He even seemed to be fierce as he roared at Ye Xuan. This was because this person who suddenly appeared gave him a sense of death, which made him faintly unable to breathe.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not have the slightest intention to pay attention to a weak mortal like Li Guang. His eyes narrowed slightly and an extremely terrifying thing happened.
Bang!
The void collapsed and everything was destroyed. Li Guang did not even have the time to scream before he was directly turned into ashes and no longer existed in this world.
It was not just Li Guang. The tens of thousands of soldiers in Ao Lai shattered like sand. They were all turned into ashes and disappeared without a trace. This caused the world to become deathly silent.
Zhao Lin sat paralyzed on the ground as if he had been struck dumb. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have dared to believe what he had just seen.
An army of tens of thousands had been turned into ashes in the blink of an eye. This was simply something that only an immortal could do.
It was also at this moment that Zhao Lin finally understood why Father had listed this place as a forbidden area. He also understood why Father had personally killed the First Prince. He was afraid of angering the existence in this forbidden area.
"You're Zhao Gou's son?"
Ye Xuan looked indifferently at Zhao Lin. His voice was very calm.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Zhao Lin immediately returned to his senses and knelt down to kowtow. "Junior Zhao Lin is Father's seventh son. I kowtow to senior."
"Where is Zhao Gou?" Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"Father has already passed away. However, before he died, he instructed us descendants not to disturb senior's cultivation. Today, the Zhao Clan is facing a great calamity. I hope that senior can help our Little Saint Nation out of this calamity for the sake of Father's sake." Zhao Lin's voice trembled as he kowtowed to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan nodded when he heard Zhao Lin's words. He was not too surprised. After all, three hundred years had passed. It was not strange that Zhao Gou had died of old age in the mortal world.
"Very well. Back then, your father could be considered to be fated with me. He even helped me find many materials to set up a formation. Today, I will return the favor."
Ye Xuan said calmly and stepped into the sky. However, Zhao Lin's anxious voice came from behind him.
"Senior, the capital is now surrounded by Ao Lai's army of millions. You …"
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not stop. When he appeared again, he was already sitting cross-legged in the sky.
Above the firmament, in the void.
A spot of Immortal Light bloomed in Ye Xuan's hand. He looked down at the capital city with a ruthless look in his eyes.
"Kill!"
The moment he spoke, the Immortal Light shook the sky. A Great Immortal Spell came down and covered the entire capital city. A scene of a sea of blood appeared.
Rumble!
The bodies of Ao Lai's army of millions crumbled inch by inch under the annihilation of the Immortal Light. A bloody mist covered the sky and earth. Miserable cries could be heard.
Helpless cries and pleas could be heard everywhere. Unfortunately, Ye Xuan did not have the slightest bit of pity. He sat cross-legged in the sky and looked down indifferently at the millions of soldiers who died tragically in the capital city of the Little Saint Nation.
"The lives of mortals are too fragile!" Ye Xuan shook his head slowly and sighed.
"What kind of monster dares to slaughter the living beings of the mortal world?"
Suddenly, a dignified and angry voice came from the heavens and earth, causing the world to rumble and shake. The Immortal Light of Immortal Light filled the sky and an unimaginably terrifying pressure pressed down on Ye Xuan.
"Mm?"
"Daluo Jinxian?"
Ye Xuan's expression slightly changed as his eyes darkened. He never would have thought that after going into seclusion for three hundred years to refine the Immortal Defying Diagram, he would actually encounter a Great Golden Immortal the moment he came out of seclusion.
Purple energy spread out for thirty thousand kilometers, and the Great Luo Immortal Light covered the sky and the earth. As the endless heavens and earth shook, a young man in a purple imperial robe traversed a million kilometers through the sky towards Ye Xuan.
"Who are you?"
Ye Xuan rose from the void and looked at the newcomer with his hands behind his back. His voice was cold and sinister.
