In the back garden, the Dark Ruler was full of smiles. Compared to the coldness and arrogance he displayed towards the Crown Prince, it formed a sharp contrast.
This made the Crown Prince angry and shocked the emperor.
Ling Xian wasn't surprised. The moment the jade vibrated, he knew the Dark Ruler's identity. When this strange creature beat up the Crown Prince, he was even more certain of this person's identity.
A member of the Hidden Pavilion!
Only this identity could make the jade send out a signal. As a member of the Hidden Pavilion, being loyal to the Ruler was a mission carved in their blood. Why would they attack the Ruler?
Therefore, Ling Xian wasn't surprised that the Dark Ruler beat up the Crown Prince. What surprised him was that the Dark Ruler was a member of the Hidden Pavilion.
Remember that the Dark Ruler was a terrifying existence that even King Luo had to treat with caution. But the Dark Ruler's true identity was his subordinate. Why wouldn't he be surprised?
"I thought I would be in danger today. I cannot believe things have taken a turn for the better."
Ling Xian smiled to himself and shifted his gaze towards the strange creature, "I can kill him. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Of course."
The Dark Ruler chuckled, "You are my boss. You can do whatever you want."
At those words, the emperor continued to be shocked. He didn't think the legendary Dark Ruler would be so respectful towards Ling Xian.
The Crown Prince, on the other hand, felt cold all over. His body was quivering from fear.
What the f * ck!
Who the f * ck did you find a helper? You really didn't team up with Ling Xian to trick me!
The Crown Prince cursed internally. He was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do.
At this point, the situation was very clear. He, who was supposed to win, was now completely defeated. Even if Ping Nan Wang didn't betray him, he may not be the opponent of the Dark Ruler.
In other words, he had lost. He lost without knowing why, but he didn't lose unjustly.
Because he underestimated someone.
Ling Xian!
He was the one who analyzed the truth behind Ping Nan Wang's rebellion and saved Princess Ling Xi. He was also the one who made the Dark Ruler betray him and changed the emperor's fate.
In other words, he alone turned the tides and saved the Yan Dynasty!
Compared to him, everyone, including the Human Sovereign, was trash!
"I've lost. If I had sent people to stop you from the beginning, the throne would've been mine!" The Crown Prince's eyes were full of anger as he glared at Ling Xian.
"But you ignored me, or rather, you never noticed me."
Ling Xian shook his head softly, "Everything about this rebellion is interconnected. If I am not wrong, your next move will for sure allow you to completely control this dynasty. Unfortunately, you won't have the chance to use it. "
"This is all your fault!"
The Crown Prince howled and his spiritual energy howled out. However, before it could get close to Ling Xian, it was stopped by the Leader of Darkness. Then, he was sent flying by a small hand.
"Behave yourself. If you dare to reveal any killing intent towards my boss again, I'll skin you alive." The Master of Darkness' expression was cold. His body was shrouded in a black aura. It was terrifying and mysterious.
"You can't blame me for this. You can only blame yourself for being too greedy." Ling Xian glared at him, feeling far too lazy to waste any more words.
"The winner is king and the loser is a bandit. I admit defeat."
The Crown Prince clenched his teeth and finally recognized reality. This made him close his eyes in pain, "Kill me if you want, do whatever you want to me."
"Wrong again. I wasn't the one who dealt with you."
Ling Xian shook his head and shifted his gaze towards the Leader of Darkness, "You were the one who placed the curse on the emperor, right?"
"Hehe, it was me."
The Leader of Darkness chuckled, "If I knew you were on the emperor's side, I wouldn't have placed a curse on him."
"It doesn't matter. As long as the result is good."
Ling Xian brandished his hand, "I am only asking you, can you lift this curse?"
"Of course. I'm a spirit formed from curses. Other than a few extremely perverted curses, I can cast any kind of curse, and I can also dispel it."
The Leader of Darkness smiled proudly. Coupled with his young and innocent face, he was truly adorable.
"Alright, then please lift the emperor's curse." Ling Xian grinned.
"Leave it to me."
The Leader of Darkness nodded. Then, with lightning speed, he extended his finger and pressed it between the emperor's brows.
Instantly, the emperor's face twisted even more. He was in so much pain that his entire body was shaking. Then, rays of black energy poured out from between his brows and slowly entered the Leader of Darkness's body.
His complexion also returned to normal and was no longer as pale and twisted as before.
After some time, the Leader of Darkness retracted his finger and like a little kid, he said, "Okay, boss, I am amazing, right?"
"Amazing. A curse that turned into a spirit sure is extraordinary."
Ling Xian stared at the emperor, whose Qi was getting stronger. He then looked at the Leader of Darkness, who was absorbing the curse into his body like nothing had happened. He sincerely complimented.
Remember that curses were the most troublesome existence in the world. No cultivator would want to get involved with it. Yet the Leader of Darkness was able to control it so easily. How heaven-defying was this?
Or in other words, his existence was heaven-defying!
A curse that turned into a spirit!
Just thinking about it was inconceivable.
After receiving his compliments, the Leader of Darkness acted like a little kid who just received candy. He revealed a joyous smile.
Ling Xian was very happy as well. Not only was the situation turning around, but it was also because of Gao Xin's message.
Since the Sea of Demons was acting up, it meant that a war was about to begin. At a time like this, to have such a strong ally like the Leader of Darkness naturally made him happy.
"I have finally recovered."
After a complex sigh, the emperor of the Yan Dynasty stood up. Like a God who straightened his back, his vigor swept through 3,000 miles and his Qi shot up to the ninth level of heaven!
This made the Crown Prince's expression change drastically. Hopelessness appeared in his eyes.
"Jing Er." The emperor spoke. His eyes were full of sorrow.
Hearing his name, the Crown Prince's body quivered and he said bitterly, "Ever since I became the Crown Prince, you have never called me that."
"Because you were the ruler of a country that I recognized back then." The emperor sighed.
"Then why did your attitude change after Yan Liusu was born?" The Crown Prince screamed, full of unwillingness.
"My attitude didn't change. You were the one who thought I had changed. Therefore, you targeted Yan Liusu and made me more and more disappointed in you." The emperor sighed, "Today, you have committed an unforgivable sin. As a father, I cannot let you live."
"Haha, in the end, you still want to kill me."
The Crown Prince laughed into the sky, "The winner becomes king and the loser becomes a bandit. I, Yan Liujing, admit defeat. But I will not let you make a move!"
Just then, determination flashed across his face. In an instant, he broke his meridians and his soul.
This made the emperor's expression change. He wanted to stop him, but it was too late. He could only watch as the Crown Prince puked out blood and stopped breathing.
"A rebellion. Blood flowed like a river. Who … will be the final winner?" The Ren Huang sighed and closed his eyes in pain.
At this moment, he was a father. The Crown Prince's father.
But when he opened his eyes, he was the emperor of the Yan Dynasty!
Therefore, there was no sadness in his eyes, only coldness.
Then, he bowed down to Ling Xian, all the way down.
"On behalf of the Yan Dynasty, I thank you for stepping up and saving the empire!"
