"Curse?" Ling Dong revealed an extremely shocked expression when he heard Emperor Yuan Feng's words. He had never heard of any rumors regarding this matter!
"The curse of the Bi Royal Family? Your Majesty, can you be more specific? " Ling Dong's words were spoken in a negotiating tone, but there was a hint of stubbornness in them. The experienced Emperor Yuan Feng could hear it clearly!
Emperor Yuan Feng himself knew that the current Yaoguang Empire was in the hands of the Bi Royal Family. However, if this Pill King Ling wasn't satisfied, it wouldn't be long before the Yaoguang Empire was destroyed!
"Pill King Ling, before I tell you the details, I hope you can swear a Soulblood Oath that you won't usurp the Yaoguang Empire's foundation, and that the Bi Royal Family will live on forever!"
Emperor Yuan Feng brought up the terms he'd agreed to earlier at this critical moment!
"The Bi Royal Family can live on forever? Your Majesty, I'm afraid that even you, or the founding emperor of the Yaoguang Empire, couldn't do that, right? "Ling Dong sneered.
Emperor Yuan Feng frowned and said, "Then I want you to swear a Soulblood Oath that as long as you're alive, the Yaoguang Empire will live on forever!"
Emperor Yuan Feng's stubborn tone and expression made it seem as if he wouldn't know if he didn't agree. Ling Dong suddenly smiled, a smile that made Emperor Yuan Feng's hair stand on end!
"If that's the case, then I'll give the order to kill all the Bi Royal Family members and Bi Pengcheng. I believe that it won't be long before a brand new empire rises from the Yaoguang Empire's territory! Of course, there's also a secret technique called the Soul Searching Technique, you know it! "
With a cold laugh, Ling Dong stood up and walked out the door without even looking at Emperor Yuan Feng!
Emperor Yuan Feng still dared to threaten Ling Dong at a time like this?
Moreover, Ling Dong wouldn't mind giving Emperor Yuan Feng a verbal promise if it was an ordinary promise. However, he was asking for a Soulblood Oath. The stronger the soul, the more effective the Soulblood Oath.
According to the introduction of the Soulblood Oath that Ling Dong had read in the True Dipper Sect's records, the Soulblood Oath's influence wasn't limited to the oath itself.
Therefore, it would be strange if Ling Dong agreed to Emperor Yuan Feng's request! At the same time, Ling Dong hated this kind of threat!
Emperor Yuan Feng panicked when Ling Dong turned to leave. Ling Dong's actions these days had made Great Emperor Yuan Feng realize what kind of person Ling Dong was!
Ruthless and merciless, these few words were definitely worthy of being called vicious and merciless! Not to mention, within these Heavenly Emperor's Capital, the number of people who were killed because of this Emperor's Inheritance storm was over ten thousand!
More than half of these ten thousand people had died under Ling Dong's direct orders! Emperor Yuan Feng completely believed that Ling Dong would do such a thing!
"Wait, Pill King Ling, wait … I'll talk!" When he stood up and called out to Ling Dong, an incomparable sense of humiliation rose in Great Emperor Yuan Feng's heart!
Since when did he, an Emperor, have to be so humble …
"Heh … That's right!"
Hearing Emperor Yuan Feng's surrender, Ling Dong turned around confidently, revealing a smile that was incomparably evil in Emperor Yuan Feng's eyes. He said jokingly, "Actually, Your Majesty, you can rest assured. Under normal circumstances, I don't have any thoughts about being the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire! My heart is higher! "
Yes, Ling Dong's heart was higher!
Bu Yangming's descent from the Wood Puppet World gave Ling Dong a hint of motivation, a vaster world!
But after Ling Dong's battle with Constellation Heaven Lord Jin Chen's Void Avatar, and after experiencing a life and death situation, the motivation that Bu Yangming brought to Ling Dong from the Wood Puppet World quickly took root and sprouted, turning into a concrete idea!
He wanted to become a powerhouse, the top powerhouse in this world! An existence stronger than Constellation Heaven Lord Jin Chen!
Only then could he control his own fate, the fate of his family, women, and even friends!
Otherwise, in the words of Constellation Heaven Lord Jin Chen, he was just an ant! He could stomp countless ants to death with one foot!
First become a strong ant, then slowly grow into a giant that could stomp on ants! Until he could become an existence that could treat Constellation Heaven Lord Jin Chen as an ant, or even higher!
This was Ling Dong's heart!
An even higher heart!
Hearing Ling Dong's words, Great Emperor Yuan Feng was taken aback. Then, he revealed a bitter smile!
Yes, with Ling Dong's current strength, it was too easy for him to topple an empire! If he wanted to become an emperor, all he had to do was prepare a little and he could succeed!
Moreover, as Ling Dong continued to grow, Ling Dong wouldn't even need to do it himself if he wanted to destroy an empire. A letter or a very subtle hint could be all it took for an empire to fall apart!
"Pill King Ling, I believe you, and I can only choose to believe you! I hope the Bi Imperial Family can go far enough! "
Great Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly looked pained. "Pill King Ling, have you noticed a problem? None of the past emperors of the Yaoguang Empire have lived past a hundred years! Forty to fifty years is considered a long time, but other empires, such as the Xuanji Empire's Emperor Xuanguang, have been on the throne for a hundred and thirty-six years! "
Ling Dong frowned when he heard Emperor Yuanfeng's words. He pondered for a while. Actually, no one had paid attention to this problem. After all, what did the inheritance of an emperor have to do with ordinary cultivators?
But looking at Ling Dong's three hundred years of memories from his previous life, the Yaoguang Empire's emperors had changed five times in three hundred years! On average, each emperor had lived for about fifty years!
And in the three hundred years of his previous life, whether it was the Xuanji Empire or the Mizar Ancient Kingdom, there had only been one or two emperors under Ling Dong's influence. It wasn't as frequent as it was in the Yaoguang Empire!
"Is this the curse of the Bi Imperial Family you mentioned?"
Ling Dong's intelligence wasn't just for show. After connecting the dots, he realized that the problem of the imperial family's lifespan was probably related to the curse of the Bi imperial family that Great Emperor Yuan Feng had mentioned!
"Yes. Since eight hundred years ago, the descendants of the Bi Imperial Family have been unable to break through to the Earth Realm no matter how hard they work. At most, they can only reach the peak of the late Xiantian Realm!
Moreover, it's too easy for an emperor to get his hands on some pills to prolong his life. But no matter how much he takes, the descendants of the Bi Imperial Family can't live past a hundred years. Most of them are like ordinary people, reaching the end of their lifespan at seventy or eighty years. And … "
"Wait!" Ling Dong interrupted Emperor Yuan Feng's narration and asked with a frown, "Your Majesty, that's not entirely the case. I remember that many of the descendants of the Bi Imperial Family are at the Earth Realm.
Let's not talk about the others. The son of the late Second Prince, Bi Jing, Bi Pengfei, the so-called genius of the Imperial Family, was at the Earth Realm! "
Hearing Ling Dong's question, Emperor Yuan Feng's old face turned a rare shade of black and red.
"At this point, I won't hide it from Pill King Ling! Pill King Ling, there are so many clans in the Imperial Family. Every descendant of the Imperial Family has at least a dozen, if not a hundred women! Among these women, there might be some who can't stand loneliness … There might even be some bastards among them. Pill King Ling, you should understand this! "
"So all those who reach the Earth Realm aren't descendants of the Imperial Family? This method of identification is really simple! "Ling Dong was stunned by the Imperial Family's secret. He suddenly had the urge to laugh!
"You can say that. All descendants of the Imperial Family who reach the Earth Realm are eliminated before the new emperor inherits the throne! Only three people in the Imperial Family know this secret, and it's passed down from generation to generation! "Emperor Yuan Feng said.
After listening to Great Emperor Yuan Feng's interesting secret of the royal family, Ling Dong shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't hear anything related to the Spirit Slave Ring from this!"
"Oh, right. I'm curious. How did you know I have the Spirit Enslavement Ring?" Ling Dong kept asking.
Great Emperor Yuan Feng smiled bitterly, "You interrupted me! What I wanted to say was, according to the last words left by the founding emperor of the Imperial Family, Bi Tiancheng, also known as Emperor Tiancheng, one can get rid of the curse of the Imperial Family with the Spirit Enslavement Ring!
As for how we know you have the Spirit Enslavement Ring, it's very simple. Before the Imperial Ancestor died, he left behind a set of secret methods that can detect the Spirit Enslavement Ring within a range of a few dozen meters!
Coincidentally, my dead second son sensed the existence of the Spirit Slave Ring on you at the celebration banquet held by Zi Yao, the leader of Kuixing Pavilion, half a year ago. I once promised that I would pass the throne to whoever found the Spirit Slave Ring!
That's why my second son had been holding back his desire to capture you and take the Spirit Enslavement Ring from you to inherit the throne! He didn't come to see me and tell me about it until he was completely annihilated in front of Pill King Ling. Otherwise … "
Ling Dong hissed softly when he heard that. He felt a chill run down his spine!
If Second Prince Bi Jing hadn't been greedy and had reported this to Great Emperor Yuan Feng as soon as he found out half a year ago, the outcome would have been completely different!
"Hmm … Now I know where you came from! Now, Your Majesty, please answer my most important question. How did you use the Spirit Enslavement Ring to get rid of the curse of the Imperial Family? Or rather, what's the secret method to activate the Spirit Enslavement Ring? "
Before he finished speaking, Ling Dong's eyes were fixed on Emperor Yuan Feng like a hawk. He released his Spirit Energy and carefully sensed every movement of Emperor Yuan Feng, including his heartbeat.
If Great Emperor Yuan Feng dared to hesitate or lie in this aspect, Ling Dong would perform the Soul Searching Technique on him even if he had to pay a price!
