Chapter 96: Soul Heaven Emperor: I Want to Create a World Without the Flame Emperor!

~9 min read 1,612 words

"Hollow"—this word is no longer sufficient to describe Li Er, this Great Tang Emperor.

Ever since that old fellow, the Jing River Dragon King, died, he has been coming to harass him; yet, he can do nothing about it, and he also feels somewhat in the wrong.

More importantly, that fellow Wei Zheng actually beheaded the dragon without authorization, leaving him without even a chance to save it.

Beforehand, Li Er and the Jing River Dragon King had actually communicated once; he would not report its dereliction of duty to the Heavenly Court, much less behead it!

To some extent, as the True Dragon Son of Heaven of the Great Tang, wouldn't beheading the Dragon King be equivalent to beheading himself?

Yet, Wei Zheng did not give him any face, directly acting first and reporting later.

As the saying goes, every grievance has its source, and every debt has its debtor.

Wei Zheng beheaded the Jing River Dragon King; you old dragon should go find Wei Zheng, yet you insist on coming to find him!

Now the executioner who wielded the blade is sleeping soundly, while he, a dignified Emperor, is harassed by an evil dragon every day and cannot sleep at all?

As soon as he falls asleep, the Jing River Dragon King appears, revealing a deathly visage and muttering incessantly, making his head ache as if it were splitting.

So, during this period, heaven knows how Li Er has managed to endure it.

"Zhen Youcai, you say people from the Celestial Master Mansion? Is this true?" Li Er asked leisurely, taking a sip of ginseng soup to replenish his grievances.

"Your Majesty, the other party indeed possesses a token from the Celestial Master Mansion; there can be no mistake," Eunuch Zhen said.

"And the people from Buddhism, what is their background?" Li Er asked again.

"That is unclear, but this servant observed that the other party has an extraordinary temperament and is full of heroic spirit; they are not ordinary people," Eunuch Zhen replied.

Li Er raised his hand, and Eunuch Zhen knowingly took the sea cucumber soup away.

"Youcai, your judgment of people has always been accurate. I am very reassured; I only hope that this time there won't be any more wronged souls."

Li Er drank the sea cucumber soup in one gulp, then let him withdraw, breathed slowly, and soon entered dreamland.

This was the first time in half a month that Li Er had entered dreamland without the Jing River Dragon King causing trouble, feeling incomparably comfortable and peaceful.

In his dream, Li Er looked at the prosperous Chang'an City, feeling very satisfied and proud.

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled!

Roar!

A black evil dragon emerged from the dark clouds, carrying monstrous resentment, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

"Return my life!"

The evil dragon roared and bit down, wanting to Devour Li Er. Li Er was startled and fled in a panic.

But this was in a dream; the more he wanted to escape, the less he could run.

Soon, Li Er was about to be eaten!

Just at this moment, holy light descended from the sky, and a young monk suddenly appeared.

The young monk pressed his palms together, silently reciting profound scriptures, his body surrounded by circles of Buddhist text.

Seeing this scene, Li Er could not help but feel a sense of worship.

As for the evil dragon, its resentment was also purified by the young monk's Buddhist Dharma, vanishing into nothingness as it entered reincarnation.

"Holy Monk!"

Li Er's eyes revealed a look of surprise; to be able to purify an evil dragon with just Buddhist Dharma, this is a Buddha reborn.

It was just that when Li Er wanted to see the young monk's face clearly, the other party's features were extremely blurry and could not be seen at all.

In the side hall.

Li Bai was already dead drunk, while Daolei was not drinking, merely eating some dishes.

Xuanzang had been very calm, and Daolei could not help but ask: "Brother Xuan, you seem to look very composed? Are you not worried about the evil dragon coming tonight?"

"It will not come tonight," Xuanzang said.

Hearing this, Daolei took an octagonal compass from his sleeve and said:

"This is a magical artifact of my Celestial Master Mansion, the Eight-Trigram Yin-Yang Feng Shui Compass; within a radius of a hundred miles, once a demon or monster causes trouble, it will detect the direction.

Now the compass has not moved at all, which shows that the evil dragon will indeed not come again tonight.

I learned this from a magical artifact, but how did Brother Xuan determine it? You aren't guessing, are you?"

"That's right, I am guessing," Xuanzang replied earnestly.

"..." Daolei was silent, speechless.

Xuanzang did not know Daolei's internal thoughts; of course, he was naturally not guessing.

Just a moment ago, he had taken the opportunity to contemplate the Six Jia Qimen within the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations.

Although the Six Jia Qimen is profound, Xuanzang seemed to know it as if born with it, and he did not feel any difficulty in contemplating it.

He quickly grasped the essence; as for the function of the Six Jia Qimen, it is naturally to predict good and bad fortune, calculate the positions of all things in heaven and earth, and it also includes some formations.

For those stronger than himself, Xuanzang dared not guarantee, but calculating the Jing River Dragon King was still possible.

With this calculation, the Jing River Dragon King was not near Chang'an City at all, nor were there any signs of it coming to the Imperial Palace.

Time passed slowly; Daolei found a meditation cushion to sit in meditation, while Xuanzang meditated.

In another world, the Dou Qi Continent, outside Wutan City.

A group from the Yunlan Sect arrived, including Yun Yun, Nalan Yanran, and the Elder Ge Ye.

"Alright, you all wait outside the city; I and Yanran will just go to the Xiao Family."

Yun Yun said; her words were calm, yet she possessed an awe-inspiring air without anger, especially after advancing to Dou Di, that sense of oppression was even more intense; even when deliberately suppressed, it made others feel immense pressure.

"Yes, Sect Master."

The group said one after another, their expressions respectful.

"Teacher, actually you don't need to go; it's just to break off an engagement," Nalan Yanran said, her words somewhat proud.

Yun Yun frowned; it seemed her disciple had not yet realized the gravity of the situation.

It was precisely because of her willfulness and her incorrect way of handling problems that led to Xiao Yan's anger and hatred, and ultimately the destruction of the Yunlan Sect!

Although she was now a Dou Di and had the ability to change all of this, she still felt she had to correct Nalan Yanran's values; one could not be willful, and keeping a low profile and staying cautious was the true path.

"Follow me," Yun Yun said.

"Ding, Private Task triggered: Livestream the legendary scene of breaking off the engagement. Task complete, reward: 3,000 points."

Suddenly, the sound of the Chat Group came to Yun Yun's ears.

This could not help but make a look of surprise appear on Yun Yun's face; another Private Task had been triggered.

There had been a task before this to help Nalan Yanran successfully break off the engagement, worth 10,000 points.

Now another Private Task had appeared? Could it be that being close to the protagonist strengthened Qi Luck, making it easier to trigger tasks? Truly terrifying!

With a heart full of excitement, Yun Yun brought Nalan Yanran into the city!

In another direction of Wutan City, two figures gradually appeared on the horizon.

One was completely wrapped in a black robe, airtight!

The other wore a red and white robe, with an eerie face and extraordinary temperament, giving off a sinister and treacherous aura.

The two were, naturally, the Soul Hall duo, Xuwu Tunyan and Hun Tiandi.

Uh... the reborn Hun Tiandi!

"My lord, why must we come to such a godforsaken place? There isn't even a Dou Wang here; it is truly trash," Xuwu Tunyan said.

Hun Tiandi looked at Wutan City and said slowly:

"Xuwu, this place will give birth to the strongest future nemesis for the Soul Hall!"

"Hehehe, the future? Just this? It's simply impossible, my lord. I could burn this entire city to ashes with one hand. Furthermore, what kind of genius could be born in this backwater?" Xuwu laughed.

"Yet, he is precisely being born here!"

"Xuwu, as an Exotic Fire, do not take yourself too much as a human, and do not fail to take others as humans. Even if you destroy the entire city, those who are not meant to die will still not die.

As a qualified villain, one must personally grind the opponent to dust and strangle every threat in the cradle," Hun Tiandi said, his face showing murderous intent.

With his current strength, crushing the yet-to-rise Xiao Yan would be completely effortless.

As long as Xiao Yan, the future Flame Emperor, was gone!

Then the entire Dou Qi Continent would be in the palm of his hand; he would reshape the world according to his own will—a world without the Flame Emperor, how wonderful that would be.

"Hehehe!" Thinking of this, Hun Tiandi could not help but laugh.

Xuwu Tunyan saw Hun Tiandi laughing, so he followed suit and laughed as well.

"Hehehehe!"
