Essence of Fire!
(47th Update) At Qi Wangfu, even though there were no soldiers guarding the entrance at the mont, a solemn and stern atmosphere was enough to chill the hearts of so low-ranking people.
In the blink of an eye, more than five hundred thousand imperial guards encircled Qi Wangfu, making it impossible for even a bird to fly out.
Princess Chang and Lin Bai approached together.
“Princess Chang, there are a hundred thousand Qi family troops stationed inside Qi Wangfu, and there are a large number of Magic Circle chanisms inside.
Should we charge in?” a colonel ca over and said to Lin Bai and Princess Chang.
“Prepare to launch a strong attack.” Princess Chang nodded faintly.
“There’s no need, Qi Prince must have received the news of Dayue Kingdom withdrawing its troops.
Since Qi Prince hasn’t run away, he must have made up his mind to fight to the death.”
“We don’t need to launch a strong attack, he’s probably waiting for .”
Lin Bai smiled faintly: “Let go in and have a look.”
Princess Chang said with concern: “Lin Bai, don’t take risks, we can take down Qi Wangfu directly by launching a strong attack.”
Lin Bai shook his head and said: “If we launch a strong attack, although we can take down Qi Wangfu, the casualties will definitely be heavy.
There has already been too much bloodshed in the Southern Region, let’s shed as little more as possible.”
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to .”
Lin Bai told Princess Chang.
Princess Chang nodded: “Then you be careful.”
Lin Bai slightly smiled, leapt into the air, spread his wings of purple and green mists and rushed into Qi Wangfu.
Inside Qi Wangfu.
“Guard well!
Guard well!”
“Pull yourselves together, once Qi Wangfu gets through this crisis, all of you will be promoted.”
Qi Rui was continuously arranging manpower inside Qi Wangfu, stationed at every critical point.
In the Lake Pavilion at the back of Qi Wangfu.
Qi Prince made a pot of tea for himself without a hint of emotion on his face, not uttering a single word, his eyes were filled with a thick aura of death.
“Dad, don’t worry.
I’ve arranged enough manpower.
Even if the royal family wants to launch a strong attack, they will have to pay the price in blood.” Qi Rui ca to Qi Prince’s side and said nacingly.
Qi Prince shook his head lightly: “My hundred thousand strong army at Qi Wangfu can resist the royal family’s million-strong army, but we can’t stop a flying warrior or a sword that is invincible under heaven.”
Swoosh!
Suddenly, at this mont.
A glow of purple and green light shot in from outside Qi Wangfu, directly into the Lake Pavilion.
“Who is it!”
Qi Rui roared in great surprise.
“Archers get ready.”
Qi Rui yelled.
“No need, Rui.” Qi Prince shook his head faintly.
“Lin Bai, Prince Consort, long ti no see.”
Qi Prince looked at the entrance of the Lake Pavilion, and spoke emotionlessly.
The purple and green glow landed and turned into a figure, it was Lin Bai.
“It’s you!
Lin Bai, co here and die!” Upon seeing Lin Bai, Qi Rui was imdiately enraged.
Had it not been for Lin Bai, he, Qi Rui, would not have lost so much face at Chaoyang Palace.
Had it not been for Lin Bai, the discovery of Qi Wangfu’s dungeon where his heir was held would not have been discovered.
Had it not been for Lin Bai, this alliance plan with the Dayue Kingdom would not have failed.
Lin Bai, within a single month, had pushed his thriving Wangfu to the brink of destruction.
All was because of Lin Bai.
Lin Bai glanced at Qi Rui, walked into the Lake Pavilion, sat across from Qi Prince, and said, “I faintly rember that when I saw Qi Prince at the Year-end Tail Sacrifice, he was handso and dashing, the pressure of a first-grade military officer was so powerful that it was hard to gaze upon, even the royal family gave him so degree of respect.”
Qi Prince laughed self-deprecatingly: “In the end, I will be a pile of yellow earth.”
Lin Bai: “Surrender, Qi Prince.
If you surrender now, you can spare so innocent lives in your Qi Wangfu.
If we forcefully break in, Qi Wangfu will be razed to the ground, not even a blade of grass will be left.”
At this ti, Qi Rui stared savagely at Lin Bai and said, “Co if you want to, what do I have to fear?
At most, it will end in a total collapse.”
Lin Bai glared at Qi Rui, snorting in contempt.
The Qi Prince chuckled, “Prince Consort, I must admit that I underestimated you.
In the capital of the Dayue Kingdom, you managed to abduct Consort Yun right out from under the eyes of the emperor from within the heavily fortified Imperial Palace.”
“After leaving the Imperial Palace, you single-handedly defeated tens of thousands of Moon God Legion soldiers.”
“Your sword nearly cleaved the Imperial City of the Dayue Kingdom in two.”
“What an enviable power.
I wager even a typical Divine Elixir Realm warrior wouldn’t be able to do what you’ve done.”
Qi Prince said with a light chuckle.
Lin Bai responded, “I should be thanking the Qi Prince then, for it was he who blocked all requests for aid from Princess Chang in the Imperial Capital.
How could we have been pushed to the edge in the Southern Region otherwise?
How could I have resorted to using a woman as a bargaining chip?”
Qi Prince shook his head and replied, “Lin Bai, you are a warrior, and I am a soldier.”
“From a warrior’s perspective, what you did was indeed contrary to the code of martial arts.”
“But from a soldier’s perspective, to win a war, we would stop at nothing.
Not just threatening soone with a woman, we would even resort to grave-digging, corpse manipulation, and child murder if it ant victory.”
Qi Prince said coldly.
Lin Bai calmly replied, “I am a warrior, not a soldier.”
Qi Prince nodded with a smile, “Lin Bai, I acknowledge that I was the one who ordered Zhan Ying to open the gates of Nanning Pass, and I was the one who intercepted all the emissaries Princess Chang sent for help in the Imperial Capital.
But it was all .”
“I hope Prince Consort, you could show clency.
Be it mass guilt by association or any form of punishnt, I plead you to spare my son.”
As he spoke, Qi Prince abruptly leapt up and struck Qi Ruri’s abdon with his palm.
Splat!
In an instant, Qi Ruri was flung backward, spewing a mouthful of blood.
“My dantian, my dantian!
Father…you destroyed my dantian!”
Qi Ruri lay on the ground, looking in disbelief at Qi Prince.
Unbelievably, Qi Prince took the initiative to cripple Qi Ruri.
This surprised Lin Bai a bit, and it also sent a shiver down his spine.
Qi Prince was indeed a ruthless and fiercely ambitious character.
When making a move, he was so harsh that he didn’t even spare his own son.
Qi Prince said, “I have already crippled him, you can rest assured that he will no longer pose any threat to Shenwu Kingdom.
For the sake of the nurous exploits and conquests I, myself, have made for Shenwu Kingdom, could you spare Qi Ruri’s life?”
Qi Prince, many people may only know him now as a top-notch military marrow with sweeping powers.
But many have forgotten that Qi Prince was a veteran who went to battle at the age of nine.
He was granted the title of Colonel at fifteen, made General at sixteen, and conferred as king after land-splitting at the age of eighteen.
His military exploits were matchless.
In his years of fighting and expanding territory for Shenwu Kingdom, he led the formidable Qi Family Army.
Lin Bai nodded silently, “I promise you, I won’t kill Qi Ruri.”
Qi Prince smiled and said, “Thank you.”
“Guards, take the young prince away.”
Qi Prince commanded.
“Dad, I won’t leave, I won’t go…”
Qi Ruri cried out in misery.
However, a group of n in black suddenly rushed forward and dragged Qi Ruri away from Qi Wangfu.
Qi Prince picked up his teacup, took another deep breath, and said, “Lin Bai, thank you for sparing Qi Ruri.
As a token of my gratitude, I can respond to a few questions.”
Lin Bai laughed, “I seemingly don’t have much to ask.”
Qi Prince smiled, “You don’t?
I’ve lived for nearly a hundred and thirty years, and I know far more than you.”
“I know quite a bit about the secrets of your Spirit Sword Sect, Canghai Sky Palace, Fire Palace, Edgeless Sect, and Pri Minister’s Xu Family.”
Lin Bai chuckled, “Since Prince Qi said so, then I have a few questions to ask.”
“I once t a warrior with a golden mask at the Year-end Tail Sacrifice.
His power of fla was astonishing, it was earth-shattering…”
Before Lin Bai could finish speaking, Qi Prince chuckled and answered, “Demonic Martial Soul!
Essence of Fire!”
