Hearing Ling Xian's words, Princess Ling Xi nodded heavily. Her face was full of determination.
She understood that the only thing she could do now was to stop her father. If she can't stop him before his army arrives, then it will be useless.
"Okay, let's go."
Ling Xian's expression was also heavy. He didn't care about the life or death of the Yan Emperor, but he didn't want Yan Liusu to die. Therefore, he grabbed Princess Lingxi's waist and flew towards the capital at full speed.
This action made Princess Ling Xi's face blush. But remembering that her father was in danger, she immediately banished the thought out of her head.
Ling Xian had no other thoughts. He flapped his Winged Blitz and flew towards the capital.
On his way, he saw many of Nan Ping's troops fighting against the guards of the capital. The entire city was filled with the flames of war and killings.
Screams pierced through the clouds. The entire capital had turned into a living hell. Broken limbs and broken walls were everywhere.
If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial City was filled with arrays that blocked spiritual energy and had been completely activated, the entire Imperial City would have ceased to exist.
"It has already reached this point?"
Looking at the carnage below, Ling Xian softly sighed. His gaze turned more determined.
Only by stopping King of South Ping and allowing the Human Emperor to stabilize the situation could they put an end to this massacre that brought disaster to Great Yan.
While he was flying, Princess Lingxi's eyes suddenly lit up. Pointing down, she said, "Put me down. That's my father's deputy general. As long as I can reach him, I'll be able to contact my father."
"Then be careful."
Ling Xian's spirit was lifted. He used his spiritual energy to protect Princess Ling Xi and threw her down. Her head was thrown down.
The violent wind blew against her face, scaring her so much that her face turned white. Just as her head was about to hit the ground, she floated up like a balloon and landed safely on the ground.
From this, it became obvious just how profound Ling Xian's control over his strength was.
However, his actions truly scared Princess Ling Xi. If it weren't for the fact that she knew the most important thing right now was to contact Nan Ping, she would've flown back to fight Ling Xian.
"I hope you can successfully stop Nan Ping."
Watching Princess Ling Xi land safely, Ling Xian softly sighed. Fluttering his Winged Blitz, he continued to fly towards the palace.
Although Pian Ruyu didn't reveal the Crown Prince's backup plan, she clearly pointed out that the Crown Prince still had a trick up his sleeve. Moreover, it was obvious that the Crown Prince was targeting the Human Sovereign.
Therefore, Ling Xian was very worried.
Once the Human Emperor fell for it, even if Ping Nan Wang was stopped, the Crown Prince would most likely ascend to the throne. After all, the Crown Prince's mother was also very powerful, and there were many ministers in the court who supported him.
"We can only pray."
Ling Xian silently sighed and his expression turned determined.
Soon, he arrived above the palace. Fortunately, although the palace was under martial law, there were no signs of fighting.
This meant that the flames of war had not reached the imperial palace yet.
However, when Ling Xian searched with his Qi and found the Yan Empress in the back garden, he noticed that her face was pale and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
That was not all. He covered his chest with his hand, and a strange black aura rose from his body. His entire face was distorted. It was obvious how much pain he was in.
"As expected, I've been tricked."
Seeing how much pain the emperor was in, Ling Xian's heart dropped. He was also a little shocked.
The emperor was a powerhouse who could stand shoulder to shoulder with King Luo. Just what method did he use to make him so miserable?
"This black aura …"
Ling Xian walked two steps forward and observed the black aura up close. After a while, he was finally sure what this black aura was.
"It's actually a curse … No wonder the dignified Human Emperor of the Yan Dynasty was helpless and tortured to such a state."
Ling Xian bitterly smiled, feeling troubled.
There was no need to explain how terrifying a curse was. Even the lowest level curse was extremely troublesome. Without special methods, there was no way to get rid of it.
"That's right."
The Human Emperor forced a laugh and said, "Are you here to kill me?"
"If I were here to kill you, I would've done it already." Ling Xian's brows were tightly locked together. He was thinking of a plan. Therefore, he was too lazy to pay attention to the emperor.
His indifferent tone made Ren Huang slightly startled. Then, he smiled.
Ever since he sat on the throne, it's been years since someone dared to talk to him like this. This made him feel very amused.
Seeing that Ling Xian was in deep thought and investigating, he was even more confused.
"What an interesting fella. It looks like you are here to save me?" The emperor was curious, "But I have never seen you before."
"Just because you don't know me doesn't mean I can't save you."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "Be quiet for a while. What you need to think about now is how to deal with the upcoming danger."
"Yeah, I didn't think the Crown Prince would rebel. I also didn't think he would be able to trap me without anyone noticing."
The emperor sighed deeply. Other than pain on his face, there was also sadness.
Ling Xian was too lazy to care about this. He wracked his brain but couldn't think of anything.
Curses are the most troublesome existences in the world. Even the lowest level curses are extremely difficult to break. One must find the source and find a specific method.
But he couldn't even find a single clue. How could he find the source?
"Aye, this sure is troublesome."
Ling Xian softly sighed and gave up on the idea of breaking the curse. Then, he shifted his gaze towards the Yan Emperor and asked in a low voice, "You are under the control of the curse. How much of your abilities can you use?"
"At most 30 percent. Though this curse doesn't kill me, it is very painful. It also blocks 70 percent of my abilities." The emperor sighed.
"At most 30 percent …" Ling Xian's heart dropped. He felt even more troubled.
"Thirty percent of my strength is not enough to compete with Southern Ping Wang. I have lost this time." The Human Emperor sighed with unwillingness and bitterness.
"Can you remove the word 'emperor'? I don't like hearing it. "
Ling Xian frowned. Hearing the word "emperor", he felt like he was being looked down upon. This made him very uncomfortable.
Hearing this, the emperor froze.
This was the first time someone dared to talk to him like this. It was also the first time someone asked him to change the way he referred to himself. The person who spoke was a young cultivator of the choosing level.
Perhaps it was because the tiger has fallen and the dragon is about to die, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he found it interesting.
"Interesting. To be able to meet such an interesting young man before I die makes my life worth living." The emperor grinned.
"Who said you are about to die?"
Ling Xian frowned, "I have saved Princess Ling Xi. By now, she should be stopping Ping Nan Wang."
At those words, the emperor once again froze. The way he looked at Ling Xian changed.
Then, he laughed three times into the sky. His laughter was full of happiness and compliments.
"Haha, the Heavens did not kill me. I cannot believe the Yan Kingdom has such a talented person like you!"
At those words, the emperor wanted to continue laughing, but he realized that Ling Xian was looking at him like he was an idiot.
As much as he was angry and embarrassed, he also didn't understand.
"What is there to be happy about? I only said you won't die soon. I never said you definitely won't die. "
