When he saw Qin Zheng again, the high-spirited and ambitious middle-aged man was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he was replaced by an old man who was on the verge of death.
His eyes were cloudy and his aura was weak. His exposed arms were as thin as firewood, similar to when Ning Qi condensed the Immortal Emperor Dharma Idol.
Several figures stood beside Qin Zheng. Ning Qi glanced at them and recognized them. One was Qin Long of the General of Heavenly Strategies, and the other was Qin Zheng's son, Qin Yingding. He was originally a handsome young man, but now he looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He looked even older than Ning Qi, who had broken through to the Eternal Life Realm. Their auras were weak, and there were many internal injuries in their bodies.
In addition, Ning Qi recognized another person. It was Qin Jinge, one of the three great alchemists of the Qin Tang Empire. He was Qin Zheng's brother, but now his body was empty. His cultivation had been destroyed.
"Father, look at me. It's all my fault. If I didn't lead the wolf into the house, you wouldn't have been tortured like this by Fang Kong. It was me who harmed you and caused mother's death …"
A beautiful middle-aged woman threw herself on Qin Zheng's body and cried in grief.
"Little … Seventh …"
Qin Zheng said weakly, "I'm leaving to see your mother. You have to live well in the future. Don't blame yourself …"
"Father, don't go. I'll definitely cure you!"
Qin Yao, who looked like a middle-aged woman, pleaded. She only hoped that Qin Zheng could persevere. There would always be a way to cure his injuries.
"Seventh Sister, forget it. Father has persevered until today because he was also gritting his teeth."
Qin Yingding said faintly. His voice was very hoarse, unlike a normal person's. Ning Qi's gaze fell on his throat. There was a hole there. His vocal cords must have been damaged when he was tortured.
"The Emperor won't die!"
Cao Dinglong's voice was full of energy.
Only then did everyone react. They turned around and were stunned.
"You are …"
Qin Yingding looked at Ning Qi and spoke in a hoarse voice. His eyes were filled with shock.
"The Dragon Slayer Marquis is here! He can cure the Emperor! Look at me, it was the Dragon Slayer Marquis who healed me. Princes and palace masters, please make way! "
Cao Dinglong said excitedly.
Sure enough, everyone noticed that his white hair had turned black, and he was full of energy. The internal injuries in his body seemed to have all disappeared.
Qin Yao stared at Ning Qi in disbelief. After a moment of daze, she knelt down in front of Ning Qi and pleaded, "Dragon Slayer Marquis, please save my father, save my father. I had eyes but failed to see and offended you multiple times. If you can save my father, I'm willing to commit suicide in front of you!"
"Seventh Sister …"
Everyone had a complicated expression on their faces. Although they were reluctant to part with Qin Yao, how could they not resent her in their hearts?
When they were suffering, Qin Yao was enjoying life in Prince Fang's Mansion. If it weren't for Qin Yao, the Qin Tang Empire wouldn't have become what it was today.
"Slaughter … Dragon Marquis!"
Qin Zheng was like the final radiance of the setting sun. His spirit was immediately roused and he actually sat up on his own. His eyes were sparkling as he looked at Ning Qi with a trace of excitement.
Ning Qi walked past Qin Yao and reached out to support Qin Zheng. He said softly, "Your Majesty, I'm here."
Jian Xilai, who had been following Ning Qi, suddenly had a look of admiration in his eyes. His gaze towards Ning Qi instantly became much gentler.
"The Dragon Slayer Marquis's Mansion is gone, the Champion Marquis's Mansion is gone, the Shenwu Public Mansion is gone, the Crown Prince's Imperial Tutor is gone, the General of Heavenly Strategies' Mansion is gone … I'm sorry …"
Qin Zheng grabbed Ning Qi's arm tightly.
"Your Majesty, you can rebuild it if it's gone."
Ning Qi smiled slightly.
Qin Long and the others looked at Ning Qi nervously. Could he really cure Qin Zheng's injuries like Cao Dinglong said?
"Unfortunately, I can't see it anymore … Dragon Slayer Marquis, after I … leave, the Qin Tang Empire is in your hands. I confer you the title of Dragon Slayer King, and you will oversee the world. If the future Emperor makes a mistake, you can kill him on the spot!"
Qin Zheng stared at Ning Qi.
Ning Qi saw a trace of pleading in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I think you should see the world of the Qin Tang Empire for yourself …"
Ning Qi said with a smile.
A look of despair flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes. Ning Qi rejected him, but before he could react, a mysterious force suddenly surged into his body.
Qin Zheng's body was filling up at a speed visible to the naked eye. His old appearance also began to slowly change. In just a few breaths' time, he returned to the appearance of a middle-aged man from an old man. Not only that, everyone could clearly feel that Qin Zheng's cultivation seemed to have recovered, and it was far from the cultivation of a Dou Huang.
Qin Long and the others looked at this scene with their mouths agape.
Cao Dinglong stroked his beard and laughed. He did not even realize that tears were falling from his eyes.
Ning Qi smiled faintly at the dumbfounded Qin Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, you are now full of vigor, not inferior to before. The world of the Qin Tang Empire is still yours."
"How could it be …"
Qin Zheng was the clearest about the state of his body. He had just relied on a trace of willpower to hang on to his last breath. Even when he heard Cao Dinglong say that Ning Qi had a way to cure him, he did not believe it. But the truth was in front of him. Qin Zheng felt that the power in his body had never been stronger.
Thump!
Qin Long, Qin Yingding, and the others knelt in front of Ning Qi and said with red eyes, "Thank you, Dragon Slayer Marquis! Thank you, Dragon Slayer Marquis! "
Ning Qi did not only save Qin Zheng, but also the hundreds of millions of lives in the Qin Tang Empire!
Ning Qi gently raised his hand and everyone was lifted up by a force.
"Hmm?"
Ning Qi frowned slightly and flicked his finger in Qin Yao's direction. The dagger in Qin Yao's hand that was supposed to pierce her heart was instantly turned into dust.
"I don't need you to die in front of me. Saving the Emperor is my own choice."
Ning Qi said faintly.
Qin Yao looked at Ning Qi in a daze. Seeing that he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, memories of the past flashed through her mind.
"Seventh Sister, you are muddle-headed!"
A prince pulled Qin Yao up and could not help but reprimand her in a low voice.
If Qin Yao died, their relationship with Ning Qi would be very awkward.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! "
Cao Dinglong and the other old officials bowed to Qin Zheng.
"My dear officials, please rise!"
Qin Zheng got off the bed and his bones made a series of cracking sounds. At this moment, he did not look as old as before.
"Dragon Slayer Marquis, Fang Kong is dead?"
Qin Zheng looked at Ning Qi.
"Dead."
"He once told me that the Heavenly Dragon Emperor is behind him …"
Qin Zheng said in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I will solve it together."
