A wise man doesn't stand under a collapsing wall.
Old Donkey didn't say a word. He turned around and ran, turning into a ray of golden light.
He knew very well that as long as he escaped from Ding Ning's sea of consciousness, he would be safe. If Emperor Black Shadow dared to chase after him, he would immediately become the greatest enemy of the Kun Peng's will. He could be beaten to a pulp in minutes, and even his original body's soul would be severely injured.
For the first time in his life, Old Donkey felt lucky that he had the bloodline of the Golden Roc. There was nothing else but his speed!
Although Emperor Black Shadow was two realms higher than him, his speed wasn't as fast as him.
However, Emperor Black Shadow was purely venting his anger on him. Anyway, his soul was about to dissipate. Even if he couldn't kill the little golden roc, he wouldn't let him off.
Thus, Old Donkey was in tragedy. Ding Ning, who was watching the show from the side, was also in tragedy.
No one expected that Emperor Black Shadow would be so decisive and ruthless as to directly self-destruct his soul.
Ding Ning's pitiful skull was instantly blown into pieces. Bai Xun 'er, who was working hard like a bee, was sent flying. Blood spurted out of her mouth, but fortunately, her life wasn't in danger.
Although Old Donkey successfully escaped, he still couldn't avoid the aftermath of the self-destruction. The pocket-sized golden roc instantly became dim. After leaping back into his body without hesitation, his aura instantly became dispirited. He opened his mouth and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. He couldn't care about anything else and ran away without hesitation.
He faintly sensed that there were a few mysterious experts hiding in the Thousand Demon City. Although he had been hiding very well, he had exposed his tracks in order to deal with the Soul Transformation Realm Demonic Insect. Normally, he wouldn't be afraid, but now that his soul had been seriously injured, someone could take the opportunity to kill him. How could he dare to stay here for long?
"Senior …"
Bai Xun 'er endured the pain and shouted anxiously. However, Old Donkey ran away as if he didn't hear her.
"Great-grandfather?"
Seeing that Old Donkey didn't even look back as if he had seen a ghost, the Winged Clan Patriarch was also confused and at a loss.
Ding Ning wanted to cry but had no tears. Originally, his physical body had been destroyed, and his spirit had been injured. Fortunately, his spirituality and the Starlight Soul had fused together to form a new main soul, so he could quickly recover after spending some time.
But now, when that damned Emperor self-detonated, his Sea of Consciousness exploded, causing his new main soul to be trapped in the Shencang Acupoint, unable to return to the Sea of Consciousness to control his body.
The worst thing was that he couldn't communicate with the outside world at all. If everyone thought he was dead and burned him to ashes, he wouldn't even have tears to cry.
"Hubby, it seems like Senior can't save you either, yawn …"
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Bai Xun 'er didn't know what had happened. She thought that Old Donkey had fled because he couldn't save Ding Ning because he didn't have the face to face her. Her expectations were dashed, and she immediately sat on the ground like a deflated balloon, crying bitterly.
"Sigh! My condolences. "
Seeing that Old Donkey had left, the Winged Clan Patriarch and the others returned. Seeing Bai Xun 'er's sad look, they sighed softly and patted her shoulder to comfort her. "Bury him as soon as possible. If there's anything you need, just let us know. We will always remember the Great Marshal's achievements, and we will personally attend the funeral."
The King Lords also went up to comfort her, then left with Yuan Hua's corpse and the Winged Clan Patriarch.
After all, Yuan Hua was the Violent Ape Royal Court's lord. Being killed by the Emperor would definitely cause a lot of trouble. They had to immediately go back to appease the Violent Ape Race, otherwise, it might cause chaos.
Zi Que 'er and the others rushed over, and after knowing the situation, they were also extremely disappointed. They didn't have much hope before, so they weren't that disappointed, but they still couldn't help but cry.
The Wolf Guards' eyes were red, and they wanted to find the murderer to take revenge for the Great Marshal. The entire Thousand Demon City was in chaos, causing the various Royal Courts to express their dissatisfaction.
This was especially so for the Violent Ape Kingdom, who had just lost their King Lord, and did not dare to seek justice from the Emperor. They felt extremely sullen, and could only vent their anger on the Wolf Guards. In a short period of time, there had been several conflicts between them. If not for the stern warnings of the Imperial Court, and the fact that they were still barely able to maintain some restraint, they would have already started fighting.
"Emperor, when the Great Marshal was still alive, we didn't have any objections to appointing Lang Kui to temporarily take charge of the military. But now that the Great Marshal is gone, Lang Kui doesn't have any actual position in the military, but he has the military power. I don't think it's appropriate for him to cause chaos in the Thousand Demon City under the name of taking revenge for the Great Marshal."
In the Imperial Court's conference hall, the Violent Ape Royal Court's lord, Yuan Quan, who was elected at the last minute, participated in a meeting for the first time. He was relying on the Emperor's reliance to appease the Violent Ape Race.
"Then what do you think is appropriate?"
The Emperor's expression was calm as he asked indifferently.
"Lang Kui mobilized the troops without the permission of the Imperial Court. According to the law, he should be beheaded as a warning to others."
Yuan Quan said righteously.
Although Yuan Hua was his brother, he wasn't sad at all. In fact, he was extremely happy. What a joke. If Yuan Hua didn't die, how could he be the King Lord?
He didn't have any objections to Ding Ning, and was even a little grateful. But to Lang Kui, he didn't need to be polite. The Violent Ape Race was furious because of Yuan Hua's death. They had already argued with the Wolf Guards several times, and an intense conflict could break out at any time.
At this time, he stood up for the race and attacked Lang Kui to increase his prestige and consolidate his position as the King Lord.
"Lang Kui is the leader of the Great Marshal's personal guards. The Great Marshal's corpse hasn't even turned cold, and you want to take back his military power and execute the leader of his personal guards. Isn't this too realistic?"
Niu Yue rolled his eyes and said in a mocking tone. He had a good relationship with Yuan Ming, but after Yuan Ming died, he really looked down on the brats of the Violent Ape Race.
Also, during the final battle, if Ding Ning hadn't turned the tide, he would have self-destructed long ago. Although he didn't say it, he still felt grateful towards Ding Ning. At this time, he naturally had to speak up for the Great Marshal's residence.
"I feel that King Lord Yuan's words are reasonable. Nothing can be accomplished without rules. The Great Marshal isn't here, and Lang Kui doesn't have a military position, but he mobilized the troops. He doesn't care about the Imperial Court at all. This is a great crime. Although he said he wanted to take revenge for the Great Marshal, what if he wants to rebel? Emperor, you have to be careful! "
You Ye had always been at odds with Ding Ning. Now that he could add insult to injury, he naturally supported Yuan Quan. Also, he had sinister intentions and made the matter seem like a rebellion. He knew very well that this was the greatest taboo for a ruler.
"Rebellion? How is that possible? The Wolf Cavalry made great contributions in the final battle, and the Great Marshal holds the military power. If he really wanted to rebel, would you still be sitting here? "
Qing Que 'er retorted disdainfully.
"You can't say that. The Great Marshal is loyal, so he naturally wouldn't rebel. With the Great Marshal suppressing them, there naturally wouldn't be any trouble. But the problem is that the Great Marshal isn't here anymore. Who dares to say that Lang Kui wouldn't have other thoughts?"
Bai Chuanxiu had already abdicated and was preparing to marry You Ye. Bai Chuanxin, who had just succeeded, was her younger brother. He had long wanted to swallow up the Medusa bloodline, but because of Ding Ning's high position and the fact that he was Bai Xun 'er's husband, he had been holding back. Now that Ding Ning was dead, he was extremely happy. He couldn't wait to kill everyone in the Great Marshal's residence.
"Let's not talk about the Great Marshal, just the Wolf Cavalry. Which one of them didn't climb out of a mountain of corpses and sea of blood? They made great contributions to the Imperial Court. Now that the Great Marshal's corpse hasn't even turned cold, you all want to kill the people around him. Isn't this a little too disappointing? If word of this gets out, who knows what the outside world will say that the Imperial Court is jealous of the talented and kills the meritorious."
Peng Tian 'ao's face was flushed red, and his eyes were spitting fire as he argued.
"Lord Peng, these are two different matters. Don't mix them up. Merits are merits, and mistakes are mistakes. There will be a fair judgment. The laws of the Imperial Court are set and implemented by the Grand Marshal himself. Lang Kui has indeed violated military discipline, but we can't let him off the hook just because he has merits, right? I think that even if the Great Marshal was alive, he wouldn't allow him to do as he pleases. "
Lang Du, the lord of the Gale Wolf Imperial Court, said in a strange tone. Logically speaking, the Wolf Cavalry came from their Gale Wolf Race, so he should protect them.
But the Wolf Cavalry came from the Gale Wolf Race with impure bloodlines and had a low status in the race. Anyone could order them around like servants.
But after becoming Ding Ning's personal guard, they left the race. Not only did they grasp the battle formation, but their name also spread far and wide. Their fame was enough to suppress the entire Gale Wolf Race. This made Lang Du really jealous.
If that was all there was to it, he would not have gone so far as to kick Lang Kui when he was down. More importantly, he had coveted the battle formation that the Wolf Cavalry had grasped and had personally sought out Lang Kui in private, wanting him to secretly teach the battle formation to the Gale Tribe. However, he had not expected that Lang Kui would mercilessly and sternly reject him.
Of course, if Ding Ning was still alive, he wouldn't dare to touch Lang Kui even if he was 100 times more courageous. But now that Ding Ning was dead, naturally, he had to vent the anger in his heart.
Of course, if Ding Ning was still alive, he wouldn't dare to touch Lang Kui even if he was 100 times more courageous. But now that Ding Ning was dead, naturally, he had to vent the anger in his heart.
"Executing him is a little too much. The Grand Marshal has just passed away, and it won't be good if word gets out. But he did violate the military rules, so it won't be good if we don't punish him. Let him hand over his military power and give him 200 military strikes."
Kong Xuan's eyes flickered as he said calmly.
Peng Tianao and Qing Que 'er exchanged a look. Their eyes were filled with deep worry. They didn't expect that even Kong Xuan would agree to punish Lang Kui.
Don't be fooled by his casual words, as if he was pleading on Lang Kui's behalf. In fact, if he were to be struck by 200 canes, it would be even crueler than beheading him. It had to be known that these canes were specially made and could seal the Blood Qi of the Demon Race. If he were to be struck by 200 canes, Lang Kui would undoubtedly be crippled.
Niu Yue glanced at Kong Xuan thoughtfully. He knew this heartless old fellow too well. He had crippled Lang Kui but spared his life. This old fox definitely had a plan.
But what was it?
Niu Yue only thought for a moment before he understood. When Ding Ning was still alive, no matter how much everyone coveted the battle formation, they didn't dare to take the risk of angering him. But now that he had passed away, they didn't have so many scruples.
Lang Kui might be crippled, but the battle formation method was still in his mind. He was sure that this old thing was definitely thinking of using the battle formation.
Thinking of this, Niu Yue was also tempted. Although he was grateful to Ding Ning, this matter concerned the future of his race, that gratitude could be completely ignored.
The Imperial Lord was also in a difficult position. Actually, she wanted to protect Lang Kui, but she had just killed Yuan Hua in front of everyone today. If she still insisted on protecting Lang Kui now, it would definitely cause everyone to be dissatisfied.
Moreover, Lang Kui had mobilized troops to seal off the Thousand Demon City without permission. It was obvious that he didn't take her, the Imperial Lord, seriously. This made her very uncomfortable.
She handed over the military power to Ding Ning because he was a member of the Winged Race. She believed that Ding Ning wouldn't rebel. In addition, Ding Ning's contribution was too great. It was so great that not handing over the military power to him was intolerable.
But Lang Kui might not be the same. If she didn't make a decision this time, who knew what kind of trouble would happen in the future.
