The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor-Chapter 1712 - 1709: He Has Something to Say

At this moment.

Heavenly Domain, Undying Heaven.

Empress Palace.

The Blood-clad Emperor General looked at the white-haired youth lying on the ground, his face grave as water.

"Please, Empress, save Lingxiao’s life!"

The Blood-clad Emperor General knelt on one knee, bowing his head and speaking in a deep voice.

Before his words had even landed, a Mysterious Light flew in, enveloping the Emperor Ling Xiao.

A moment later, the Mysterious Light dispersed.

The voice of Empress Changxi slowly came through: "Too late."

These two words struck the mind of the Blood-clad Emperor General like a thunderous crash, leaving his face pale.

"Why?!"

The expression of the Blood-clad Emperor General gradually twisted.

Emperor Ling Xiao was like a brother to him.

Yet he couldn’t save him.

"The Heavenly Dao’s suppression cannot be lifted until the Great Saint Realm, forbidding any Emperor Generals from descending to the Lower Realm."

Empress Changxi’s Emperor’s Order was delivered to every Emperor General.

Including the Blood-clad Emperor General.

The Blood-clad Emperor General ignored the order, looking at his brother in front of him, his eyes reddening.

At this moment, he felt a pat on his shoulder but didn’t turn around.

He knew who it was.

"To die at the hands of the Emperor Ye, it is a repayment of cause and effect."

It was someone identical to Emperor Ling Xiao.

But he was merely an avatar of Emperor Ling Xiao.

The true body had perished, and this avatar wouldn’t last much longer.

At most, a stretch of ten thousand years would see it dissipate like smoke.

Moreover, with the true body dead, the avatar’s Daoist powers would continuously decline.

The Blood-clad Emperor General exclaimed fiercely: "Back then, I told you to use an avatar to descend, to use an avatar to descend, why didn’t you listen and instead left an avatar in the Heavenly Domain, sending your true body down, knowing full well how terrifying the Night Emperor is, why did you still choose to do so?!"

The avatar of Emperor Ling Xiao remained silent, then after a moment, patted the Blood-clad Emperor General on the shoulder, smiling as he said: "I am always different from you all, the Night Emperor has shown me kindness."

The Blood-clad Emperor General spoke coldly: "Then why did he still mercilessly strike you down? Who is this Undying Night Emperor? What kind of disgusting things has he done, do you not know?"

"Do you really believe he is a good person?!"

"In his eyes in the past, we were nothing but ants and pawns."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ling Xiao remained silent.

Under the Double Emperors, who did not slander the Night Emperor?

But everyone could slander him.

Except for him, Emperor Ling Xiao, he could not slander him.

This was his line.

A favor is a favor.

Repaying kindness with enmity is deserving of death.

He acknowledged this truth alone.

Facing his death today, he calmly accepted it.

"Do not avenge me."

The avatar of Emperor Ling Xiao uttered only this.

Then, he rose and walked deeper into the Empress Palace, wishing to share some thoughts with the Empress.

Thoughts bottled up for ninety thousand years.

"Do not avenge? I wish I could grind the Night Emperor to dust!"

The Blood-clad Emperor General sharply raised his head, glaring at the back of Emperor Ling Xiao’s avatar, his face contorted.

Emperor Ling Xiao halted suddenly, then his mouth curled into a smile, waving his hand, he left.

He naturally understood what kind of temperament his brother had, that he wouldn’t relinquish his inner desires because of a couple of sentences.

It’s just that he had said what needed to be said, done what needed to be done, that was enough.

The rest...

He was already dead, why bother with so much?

With no obstacles, he reached the depths of the Empress Palace.

Beneath the boundless and vast starry sky, a snow-white lotus throne that obscured the sky emitted a crystalline Immortal Light.

At the center of that snow-white lotus throne, sat Empress Changxi in her Emperor’s Robe, exuding an unending Emperor’s Might all the time, causing the stars in the cosmos to tremble.

The avatar of Emperor Ling Xiao descended, respectfully saluting: "Lingxiao greets the Empress."

Empress Changxi slowly opened her eyes.

In an instant, reincarnation shattered, time ceased to flow.

The world seemed to freeze.

An Empress of such terror.

Such an Anomaly lasted only a moment, then dissipated, returning to normal.

Empress Changxi looked at the avatar of Emperor Ling Xiao, speaking slowly: "You shouldn’t have gone to see him."

Emperor Ling Xiao changed his posture from kneeling to sitting, seated amidst the stars, facing Empress Changxi, smiling slightly as he said: "Since it has come to this, there’s no need to discuss it further."

Empress Changxi’s narrow eyes squinted slightly.

Today, Emperor Ling Xiao was very disrespectful to her!

Not the least bit of past reverence evident.

Was it because of his death that he became fearless?

No.

She knew her first Emperor General well, understood all his temperaments.

He had something to say.

"What do you wish to say?"

Empress Changxi’s tone was calm, as if descending from beyond the Nine Heavens, devoid of human emotion.

The smile faded from Emperor Ling Xiao’s face as he calmly looked at Empress Changxi, saying only three words: "Why?"

Empress Changxi looked down at Emperor Ling Xiao, her eyes calm, just her gaze causing his Divine Soul to tremble and an irresistible urge to bow.

Great Emperor.

The ultimate peak existence among all beings.

Every gesture revealed a Great Phenomenon!

Emperor Ling Xiao refused to lower his head, always staring at Empress Changxi, fervently speaking: "I’ve had this doubt weighing on my mind for over ninety thousand years, I’ve never understood why..."

"Why did you and Emperor Mu betray the Night Emperor?!" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

This final question was obviously spoken with anger.

Empress Changxi’s gaze remained indifferent, still devoid of any emotional color as she spoke: "Are you questioning this Emperor?"

Boom!

Every word seemed to carry endless power, weighing down upon Emperor Ling Xiao, forcing him to bow his head.

Ultimately, Emperor Ling Xiao couldn’t withstand that terrifying Emperor’s Might and lowered his head, but in his heart, he remained unbowed, speaking lightly: "Others, including the Black Lotus Emperor General, perhaps don’t understand, but I do, in years past, both you and Emperor Mu acted on the Night Emperor’s orders, in fact, his contributions to your becoming Emperors were immense, I was the first to follow you, personally uplifted by the Night Emperor, over the years I’ve never said anything extra, but it doesn’t mean I, Ling Xiao, am blind."

"Today, I, Ling Xiao, die at the hands of the Night Emperor, and that is deserved, thus I can be unashamed in my heart."

"Before death, I would never question because I, Ling Xiao, served as one of the Empress’s Empire Generals, I, Ling Xiao, remained loyal to you unto death."

"But now, I just want to ask once, why?"

"Why did you betray the Night Emperor back then?"

With great difficulty, Emperor Ling Xiao raised his head, looking at the exalted, immaculate Empress Changxi, hoping to see even a hint of guilt in her expression.

But Emperor Ling Xiao was disappointed, seeing only endless indifference.

His words hadn’t stirred Empress Changxi in the slightest.

Empress Changxi looked down at Emperor Ling Xiao, speaking softly: "It seems that from the moment you decided to descend, you were already prepared, including this avatar of yours, I suppose you also prepared it for this moment?"

Emperor Ling Xiao lightly uttered two words: "That’s right."

Empress Changxi remained silent.

Emperor Ling Xiao lowered his head again, watching the star clouds swirling beneath his feet, letting out a self-mocking laugh: "Emperors of the world, standing above all things, having reached the utmost peak, why still commit such filthy and foolish acts?!"

Boom!

As his words fell, his entire being shattered in an instant, terrifying cracks forming, blood gushing out, dreadfully pitiful to the extreme!

The wrath of an Emperor!
