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

"Thump..."

He Pingsheng did not waste words!

The Southern Bright Fangtian Halberd in his right hand unfolded directly.

It was a zhang long, burning with crimson flames.

And in He Pingsheng's left hand, he gripped the blood-red turtle shell.

One offense, one defense; prepared for both.

And in his mouth, he held a mouthful of spiritual liquid, ready to replenish his magic power at any time.

"Immeasurable Wuliang Wuliang Tianzun!"

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

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

"The eighth layer and the third layer are a world of difference!"

The Biyun Laozu of Qi stared at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng naturally knew this.

He also knew that he couldn't win.

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

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

"What of seventh-layer cultivation? What of the Nine Slices of the Heavenly Axe?"

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

He Pingsheng held the Fangtian Halberd, looking majestic.

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

The Biyun Laozu of Qi frowned instantly.

Summoning the Fierce Biyun Laozu and using things like the Nine Slices of the Heavenly Axe were secrets within the Imperial family; even within the Imperial family, very few people knew.

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

And he didn't kill him even after using the possession technique?

Hiss hiss hiss...

Equivalent to the seventh layer of Soul Transformation and still killed by this fellow, then what advantage could I, at the eighth layer of Soul Transformation, possibly have?

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

Should I fight?

The Biyun Laozu of Qi had countless thoughts flash through his mind in an instant.

If he fought, there were two outcomes!

First, he would be killed by He Pingsheng.

Then the Qi Kingdom would perish!

From then on, I'm afraid this vast Qi Kingdom would have to be surnamed He.

The second outcome: he kills He Pingsheng.

It looks good.

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

Because as the only Soul Transformation Biyun Laozu of the Qi Kingdom today, 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?

So the Biyun Laozu quickly concluded: no matter what, he could not fight today!

"Old man is not afraid of you, but enemies should be resolved rather than knotted..." The Biyun Laozu of Qi smiled and said: "Old man is 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 Pingsheng was somewhat surprised.

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

Since the old guy had chickened out, that was for the best.

After all, He Pingsheng's enemies were only the Emperor and the Second Biyun Laozu 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 Biyun Laozu 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 Biyun Laozu didn't ask.

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

"My request is very simple..."

He Pingsheng still gripped 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 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 Pingsheng's Dao heart be clear and his thoughts unobstructed.

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

"Hoo..." Jiang Chen exhaled deeply and said: "Sow the cause and reap the effect; things in the world cannot escape the word 'reason'!"

"This matter was indeed my Imperial family's mistreatment of you. Enough!"

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

"Open..."

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

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

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

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

The Emperor knelt in the void.

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

"Today you shouldn't be begging me, but begging Little Fellow Daoist He... If he spares you, then he spares you!"

The Emperor of Qi looked at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng said faintly: "After I kill someone, I will collect their soul into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to refine, but you are, after all, a monarch of a country; 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 no 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 spiritual power instantly killed him.

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

He Pingsheng nodded.

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

There was certainly no mistake.

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

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

"Otherwise, it will be death without end!"

"Farewell!" 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; old man still has one matter!"

"Speak!" He Pingsheng looked at Jiang Chen.

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

Among the crowd, Jiang Lan walked out.

"Seen the Biyun Laozu..." Jiang Lan flew into the high sky and knelt down to the Biyun Laozu of Qi.

The Biyun Laozu 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!"

"Old man once swore a poisonous oath to only guard the Imperial ancestral land and not participate in Imperial 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 never had any extravagant hopes for the throne.

"Hehehe..." Jiang Chen chuckled and said: "In that Room-Woman Kingdom, it has always been women who are Emperors; why can't my Qi Kingdom do the same?"

"From today on, you are the Empress of my Great Qi Kingdom!"
