Chapter 482: Death of the Emperor of Qi, Empress Jiang Lan

"Thump..."

He He Pingsheng did not waste words!

The South Bright Fangtian Halberd in his right hand directly expanded.

It was one zhang long, burning with crimson flames.

And in He He Pingsheng's left hand, he was clutching that blood-red turtle shell.

One attacking, one defending; both offense and defense were prepared.

And in his mouth, he was holding a mouthful of spirit liquid, ready to replenish the magic power in his body at any time.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

The Ancestor of Qi performed a Daoist salute to He He Pingsheng, then said: "I know you are very strong; a mere fourth layer of Nascent Soul can kill a third layer of Soul Transformation across realms!"

"However, do you know that in the Soul Transformation realm, each layer of cultivation is a different heaven!"

"The eighth layer and the third layer are as different as heaven and earth!"

The Ancestor of Qi stared at He He Pingsheng.

He He Pingsheng naturally knew this.

He also knew that he couldn't beat him.

But he smiled and said: "Don't threaten me either..."

"To tell you the truth, when your family's Jiang Yu fought me before, he used some kind of possession method and summoned the possession of your Liang Kingdom's Fierce Ancestor. At that time, his cultivation was roughly equivalent to the seventh layer of Soul Transformation!"

"So what if he had seventh-layer cultivation? So what if he had the Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Axe?"

"In the end, wasn't he still killed by me?"

He He Pingsheng held the Fangtian Halberd, looking majestic.

He stood in the void above the Imperial Palace, like a god descending.

The Ancestor of Qi immediately frowned.

Summoning the Fierce Ancestor and using things like the Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Axe were secrets in the Imperial Family; even within the Imperial Family, very few people knew.

Now that this fellow had spoken of it, it must be that Jiang Yu really had used this possession technique.

And he hadn't killed him even after using the possession technique?

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

If he was killed by this fellow even when equivalent to the seventh layer of Soul Transformation, then what advantage could I, at the eighth layer of Soul Transformation, possibly gain?

Besides... this kid actually came to my Imperial Capital without fear, and was still so arrogant knowing that I would intervene; he must have something to rely on.

Should I fight?

In a single thought, countless ideas flashed through the mind of the Ancestor of Qi.

If he fought, there would be two outcomes!

First, he would be killed by He He Pingsheng.

Then the Qi Kingdom would be finished!

From then on, I'm afraid this vast Qi Kingdom would have to take the surname He.

The second outcome, he kills He He Pingsheng.

It looks good.

But in reality, the Qi Kingdom would still be in great danger.

Because as the only remaining Soul Transformation Ancestor of the Qi Kingdom, his lifespan had also reached its end.

It wasn't that he had another hundred years; in fact, he only had twenty or thirty years left.

Twenty or thirty years pass in a flash; even if I kill this fellow, what then? When I die, where will the Qi Kingdom go?

Therefore, the Ancestor quickly concluded: no matter what, he could not fight today!

"I am not afraid of you, but enemies should be resolved rather than knotted..." The Ancestor of Qi smiled and said: "I am Jiang Chen; little friend, if you have any requests, please speak directly!"

"Of course, or if you feel that our Imperial Family owes you something, you can also say it!"

The old guy directly admitted defeat.

He He Pingsheng was somewhat surprised.

Originally, he had decided to use the Fury of the Soaring.

Since the old guy had backed down, that was for the best.

After all, He He Pingsheng's enemies were only the Emperor and the Second Ancestor Jiang Yu.

Now that Jiang Yu was dead, the Emperor could not live either.

He and this Jiang Chen had no direct conflict; in Jiang Lan's words, the Ancestor was just someone guarding the ancestral land of the Qi Kingdom, and he never cared about Imperial Family disputes.

Even when the coup was launched back then to kill Jiang Lan's family, the Ancestor hadn't asked.

After all, to him, whoever was Emperor was a descendant of the Jiang family; there was no difference.

"My request is very simple..."

He He Pingsheng still held the turtle shell in his left hand and the halberd in his right, saying cautiously: "Back then, the Qi Kingdom hunted me down, and my wife and I faced life and death several times. To escape your Qi Kingdom's encirclement, my wife even severed her own meridians to pass as a fish in troubled waters!"

"If not for her decisiveness, I would have died at the hands of your Qi Kingdom people long ago!"

"And the culprit behind all of this is the Emperor of Qi!"

"My only condition is to let the Emperor of Qi come out and die!"

Only by killing the Emperor of Qi could He He Pingsheng's Dao heart be clear and his thoughts unobstructed.

Of course, by killing the Emperor of Qi, he would also completely fulfill his promise to Jiang Lan, and never owe Jiang Lan any cause and effect in this life again.

"Sigh..." Jiang Chen exhaled deeply and said: "Cause and effect; things in the world cannot escape the word 'reason'!"

"This matter was indeed our Imperial Family treating you unfairly; let it be!"

"If you want to kill, then kill..."

"Open..."

Jiang Chen's withered palm pulled lightly at the Imperial Palace below, and the countless defenses were opened as if they were made of paper.

A whisk fell, binding the Emperor of Qi and pulling him into the void.

At this moment, the Emperor of Qi's face was pale.

"Ancestor... Ancestor, spare my life... I can abandon the Imperial throne and retire to the mountains and forests from now on!"

The Emperor knelt in the void.

Jiang Chen said: "Self-inflicted sins cannot be lived through!"

"Today you shouldn't beg me, but should beg little fellow Daoist He... If he spares you, then he spares you!"

The Emperor of Qi looked at He He Pingsheng.

He He Pingsheng said indifferently: "After I kill someone, I will collect their soul into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to refine, but you are a monarch of a country after all; I will give you some dignity!"

"After you commit suicide, you can enter reincarnation!"

The Emperor of Qi trembled all over: "No... I have done nothing wrong... I cannot be wrong; I am the Emperor of the Great Qi Kingdom, I..."

Pfft...

Before the Emperor of Qi could finish speaking, Jiang Chen extended his little finger and made a slight slash, and a breath of magic power instantly killed him.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Jiang Chen looked at He He Pingsheng: "Just now, you have already verified his identity; you should have no doubts now, right!"

He He Pingsheng nodded.

He had seen the Emperor of Qi; he had seen this fellow back when he kidnapped the Imperial Prince.

There was definitely no mistake.

"Good!" He He Pingsheng nodded: "From today on, the grievances and cause and effect between your Qi Kingdom and me are all eliminated!"

"If the Emperor of Qi's princes want revenge, just come find me; do not lay a hand on the people around me!"

"Otherwise, it will be death without end!"

"Farewell!" He He Pingsheng moved his feet and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Jiang Chen said: "Little fellow Daoist He, don't be in such a hurry to leave; I still have one matter!"

"Speak!" He He Pingsheng looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked at the sea of people outside and said: "Jiang Lan, come out..."

From the crowd, Jiang Lan walked out.

"I have seen the Ancestor..." Jiang Lan flew into the high sky and knelt before the Ancestor of Qi.

The Ancestor of Qi nodded and said: "Back then, your father died, your whole family was killed, and you found me, asking me to preside over justice for you!"

"I once swore a poisonous oath back then to only guard the Royal Ancestral Land and not participate in Royal disputes, so I did not agree to your request!"

"Now that this Emperor of Qi is dead, the throne should be returned to your branch!"

"Ah?" Jiang Lan was stunned and said: "But... my father and brothers have all died!"

"How can I inherit the throne?"

She only wanted revenge and had never had any extravagant hopes for the throne.

"Hehehe..." Jiang Chen chuckled and said: "In that Maiden Kingdom, it has always been women who are Emperors; why can't it be so in our Qi Kingdom?"

"From today on, you are the Empress of our Great Qi Kingdom!" ===== CHAPTER 483 =====
