Yuan Fushun arrived with a face full of smiles. However, he froze when he neared the throne.
Lu Hanqing arrived as well. His smile froze.
Bai Xiaoshan arrived as well. He was in charge of guarding the city gates. Naturally, he knew the reason for his hasty arrival. His originally expressionless face suddenly became even colder and more solemn.
Wu Zixu arrived as well. As a non-combatant, it wasn't easy for him to survive the calamity. His eyes were filled with sadness as he sighed deeply.
"I'll punish you, I'll punish you, I'll punish you! Who told you to play with me!" Ji Hyun-woon said angrily. "You're not allowed to play with me in the future. Otherwise, I'll be very angry and the consequences will be severe!"
"Xuan Yun, let's be reasonable. I'm your father, you have to show me some respect." Ji Polu also became angry.
"Hmph!" Ji Hyun-woon turned his face away. "You don't even set a good example if you want others to respect you. You're always flippant, hmph!"
"Xuan Yun, let's be reasonable. When was I ever flippant?" Ji Polu said impatiently, "You're the one who's always been bullying me. I've been giving in to you and spoiling you since young. Otherwise, you'd pull my beard. Look at how many strands of my beard have been pulled off by you!"
Ji Hyun-woon said proudly, "Father, let's be reasonable. I'm your son. What's wrong with spoiling me and giving in to me? Isn't this the right thing to do?"
"Xuan Yun, let's be reasonable. You're still pulling on father's beard. Let go!" Ji Polu said.
Ji Hyun-woon let go with an innocent expression and giggled, "Forget it, it's so ugly."
"Xuan Yun, let's be reasonable. If you despise father, he'll die of grief," Ji Polu said.
Ji Hyun-woon suddenly calmed down and said with reddened eyes, "Father, thank you."
"Thank me?" Ji Polu asked.
"Thank you for not dying. You promised Xuanyun that you would protect me, take care of me, and love me for the rest of my life." Ji Xuanyun reached out and hugged Ji Polu tightly, "If you were to die, what would I do? You cannot die! "
Ji Polu's expression softened. His face was filled with an indescribable radiance. He pressed down on Ji Hyun-woon's little head and stroked his hair. "Xuan Yun … let's be reasonable … since the ancient times … who could survive …"
"I don't care! I don't care!" Ji Hyun-woon said coquettishly. She moved her hands, trying to find a more comfortable position. However, she suddenly felt something wet and sticky.
He suddenly realized something and pushed Ji Polu away. He lowered his head and looked at his trembling hands. His palms were covered in shocking bloodstains. He twisted his head and looked down. The area around the throne had already turned into a pool of blood.
"Father … It's not like that …" He shook his head and said absentmindedly, "Didn't you … promise me … promise me …"
"Xuan Yun … let's talk reason …" Ji Polu coughed lightly, but his body could no longer cough out any more blood. "Saints … still … have … times … when … they … break … their promises … father … only … made … one … mistake … please … forgive … father …"
"I won't!" Ji Hyun-woon's lips quivered. He shook his head with all his might. Tears flowed down his face. "I won't …"
"Xuan Yun … let's be reasonable …" Ji Polu's eyes were filled with unwillingness. "You … won't … forgive … father … even if father … dies … he … won't be … happy …"
"I won't … I won't …" Ji Hyun-woon cried. "Father, I don't want you to die, I don't want you to die … you lied to me, you lied to me … I won't …"
Ji Polu turned his head and looked at the crowd. "Good … good, assist … Xuan Yun …"
Everyone nodded heavily.
Ji Polu looked towards Yan Li. "Substitute … Wang Zhao … Gu … She …"
"Alright." Yan Li clenched his fists.
Ji Polu's lips moved forcefully. Finally, he closed his eyes slowly.
"Father …" Ji Hyun-woon cried out in pain and fainted.
Yan Li hurriedly went to hold him.
"Overlord!"
Everyone knelt down and wept in grief.
"Overlord!" Yuan Fulun's eyes were bloodshot. "This old man's life was saved by Overlord. I don't want to live anymore. I'll follow you!" With that, he pulled out the Azure Moon Sword and was about to end his own life.
Lu Hanqing hurriedly grabbed his hand and clenched his teeth. "Old Man Yuan, have you gone mad? Overlord's last wish is for us to assist the heir. If you dare to defy him, I'll kill your entire family!"
"What last wish! What last wish! Overlord won't die! Overlord isn't dead! "Yuan Fulun began to cry like a child.
Boom!
The earth suddenly shook. Bai Xiaoshan stood up with his spear and said coldly, "Shut up! Issue the obituary and arrange the funeral as soon as possible. "
"Bai Xiaoshan!" Yuan Fulun was furious. "Overlord thinks so highly of you and gave you the dragonrider army, yet you're in such a hurry to send Overlord off?"
"Shut up and listen to me!" Bai Xiaoshan's hand turned pale. "Old Man Yuan, you'll be in charge of issuing the obituary and arranging the funeral. Old Lu, you'll supervise the craftsmen to repair the Sky Forbidding Formation. I'll be in charge of the heir's ascension. And send someone to Buluo City! "
There was logic in the beginning, but the last sentence was confusing. Lu Hanqing could not help but ask, "Buluo City for what?"
Bai Xiaoshan enunciated each word carefully. "Warn them to watch the Golden Crow True Flames. Don't force me to lead the dragonrider army to attack Buluo City!"
… …
The news of the Overlord's death spread throughout the mortal realm in just half a day. Two days later, the entire Jambu Realm knew of it.
The seventh realm of cultivation, the Red World, was above the world of mortals, beyond the mortal realm. It was a realm that humans could not reach. It was an existence that cultivators below the seventh realm could not even imagine, so it was also known as the Divine Domain.
Every time a supreme expert of the Divine Domain fell, it would cause a great earthquake in the Jambu Realm.
The situation in the mortal realm would inevitably undergo a massive transformation.
Along with the news of Ji Polu's death, the destruction of the Celestial Sect's altar and Yan Wushuang's playing of the Primordial Melody spread like wildfire, becoming the topic of discussion.
The former was an unprecedented breakthrough, and the Celestial Sect was now the public enemy of the world. The latter was because another legend had been born.
The Roll of Heaven's Chosen had never before placed Yan Wushuang's name in second place, just below Gu Caiwei.
On the seventh day after the Overlord's death, the funeral was over. Ji Hyun-woon was ordered by the emperor to go to the Heavenly Capital to hold the coronation ceremony.
Yan Li accompanied him the entire time.
Half a month after the Overlord's death, the new ruler of the Wei Kingdom was born. Ji Hyun-woon ascended to the throne under the gaze of all. At the same time, thanks to the help of a Master Craftsman, the Sky Forbidding Formation was successfully repaired and put back into operation.
Only then did Yan Li leave in peace. He restored his original appearance and went to the rendezvous point with the Beast King.
