Emperor Ning walked up to Ning Yao Xi then walked around her without saying anything. He surrounded Ning Yao Xi up to several times with slow steps.
Ning Yao Xi felt that there was something strange about her father's attitude. He now looks like an unknown stranger.
'It is fitting that father did not take any action when I reported about the mass murder that occurred. Apparently he himself did it.' Ning Yao Xi looked at her father in disbelief.
After thinking for a while finally Ning Yao Xi could not help herself to ask her father again.
"What did dad do? They are just innocent civilians. Why did you finish him so brutally?" ning Yao Xi asked with a sad face.
Emperor Ning stopped his steps then stared deeply at Ning Yao Xi. The cold gaze that implied vengeance and cruelty looked like it did not belong to his father.
"I just took the power of their souls to perfect my power. I hope you'll keep your mouth shut and not say this to anyone or ...." Emperor Ning hung up his sentence.
"Or will you kill me too?" Ning Yao Xi who looked angrily opposed death by answering her father's words.
Emperor Ning let out a killing look. Only this time did he see his son answer his words boldly. It's very obvious if he doesn't like it.
Emperor Ning's hand moved swiftly and grabbed Ning Yao Xi's neck. He gripped her firmly with an extremely angry facial expression.
"Never dare to challenge me because everything I do is for your sake! You think the comfortable life you are feeling right now would still be there if Princess Gu Fang Yin had returned and ravaged everything, Haa?" shouted Emperor Ning.
Ning Yao Xi was almost out of breath. Both of his hands were trying to release Emperor Ning's hand that was strangling him. Emperor Ning's energy was so powerful that it made what he did go to waste.
Let alone to scream, to speak even slowly Ning Yao Xi could no longer bear it. His face was stiffened with muscles that pulled his eyes wide open.
As his life was already at the end of his throat, Emperor Ning let go and slammed his body backwards. Ning Yao Xi fell face down on the ground and coughed a few times. For a while he could do nothing but try to recover his strength.
Emperor Ning stepped forward to approach him. Her cold and calm face contained a million mysteries that no one could guess. Even Ning Yao Xi no longer saw the affection of a father there.
"Again, Dad. I won't stop you from doing what you want to do anymore." Ning Yao Xi felt helpless.
Ning Yao Xi's reply made her smile. His hand pushed forward and pulled Ning Yao Xi's body with his strength. In an instant his body had stood upright before him.
"Remember your words. Never say this to anyone! Believe me, a father will not let his family live in humiliation. Don't ever defeat the actions I've done because I'm doing this for a noble cause." Emperor Ning spoke softly and with great emphasis.
"I understand, Father." Ning Yao Xi was forced to agree to her father's words even though her heart was feeling broken at this moment.
The person he loves is taking the wrong path to achieve his goal. Basically he did this to make his family happy but the way he did it was not right.
Until now, Ning Yao Xi did not know if her father had killed Emperor Gu and was the mastermind behind the chaos that had occurred in the past.
"Go home! I'll overtake you after my business is done." Emperor Ning did not want to go home with Ning Yao Xi.
Its togetherness would give rise to the curiosity of the palace gatekeepers recalling before no one saw the departure of the two.
"Good, Dad."
Ning Yao Xi no longer dared to oppose her father. He chose to be quiet even though what Emperor Ning did was against him. According to him, his father had violated the limits of humanity that a leader should have.
After her departure from before her father, Ning Yao Xi did not care anymore about what her father would do. In front of him he was completely powerless to resist.
Almost his life was lost for opposing him blatantly. His father's cruelty now makes him raging. Only Ning Mu Shen was able to understand him. After this, he plans to meet her.
'I don't think you'd know if I told Shen'er everything. Wait ... Shen'er will also be in the language if I tell him all this. No. .. I don't want to involve him.'
Ning Yao Xi finally chose to shut up. Everything that happened today will be kept to itself.
***
At a banquet in the palace of the Empire of the Eastern Continent,
What happened today was out of his habit. Ning Yao Xi looked more silent and happy to be alone. Feeling that something was wrong with her brother, Ning Mu Shen walked over to her when she was done with her food.
"Sister Xi. What the hell happened to you? I know a breakup is hard but life has to go on. Big brother can still get a princess prettier than him." Ning Mu Shen thought that her brother was saddened by the heartbreak.
A few days ago the princess of the state she was seeking was married to a prince from another state. Although it was actually not this matter that made her grieve but Ning Yao Xi nodded and smiled as if that was the case.
Ning Mu Shen placed his hand on Ning Yao Xi's shoulder and patted her gently as an expression of support for her. A man does look stiff when comforting others. However, a little attention like this feels meaningful to someone who is not okay.
"Thank you, Shen'er. I've been feeling better. In the future, I will definitely have a companion with a perfect figure. I expected a strong and firm woman." Fang Yin's face shaded because the perfect female figure he was referring to was her.
Ning Yao Xi could not stand the hypocrisy of her father. He immediately left the banquet hall after enjoying his dinner. Everyone thought the same as Ning Mu Shen where he looked glum due to being heartbroken.
Inside her room, Ning Yao Xi looked extremely agitated. Since yesterday he has not been able to fall asleep well. It felt very difficult for him to defend his father and side with Fang Yin but all of this had to happen due to the blood relationship between the two.
The conditions faced by Ning Yao Xi were actually almost similar to those experienced by Ning Mu Shen. They were equally unsure of fighting Fang Yin. For both Fang Yin was their first love.
'It feels like I will be difficult to fight Princess Gu but I am also unlikely to leave father. I actually stood in the middle of two equally heavy camps.' Ning Yao Xi looked worried.
The decrease in Ning Yao Xi's spirit made the training done by her troops decrease as well. The newly recruited troops were training according to their own wishes as the commanders were busy preparing the chosen troops to be stationed on the front lines.
Ning Yao Xi should have been able to handle this but her disbelief in her father made her reluctant. His heart was still hesitant and had not yet moved to get back excited.
In the ranks of the new troops there are those who have an arrogant nature who like to organize others. Ning Yao Xi looked at him cynically while smiling bitterly. Without a mature military strategy, they would simply be a bunch of trash on the battlefield.
'It looks like I have to get up and help them to survive. I have to do it for humanity, not for father or for his crazy ambition to stay in power. If after this father becomes the victor and remains in power, then I will choose to leave the palace and live my way.' Ning Yao Xi finally got up and started leading the practice.
The high feeling of humanity made it unbearable to let the soldiers walk without a grip. They would not survive if they relied solely on physical strength alone.
Ning Mu Shen was no less serious either, himself was also in charge of his own army. However, he had his own way of training his troops. Ning Mu Shen's ruthless nature made him more akin to Emperor Ning.
While his sons were busy with his troops, Emperor Ning was busy with his own training inside his private room. Today he planned to go to the hill of seclusion to communicate with the demons from the underworld.
Emperor Ning came alone without an army. He went there with an energy crystal to entice the demons to obey his orders.
Not knowing when the attack Fang Yin was going to make. With this preparation, Emperor Ning could summon them in one go.
On top of the desolate exile hill, Emperor Ning stood at his peak. His hand made a move to create a spirit summoning spell seal.
In order to form a spell connected to the lower realms, he had to spill his blood there. As his energy started to come out and soar high in the air, Emperor Ning scratched his palm with a small knife. The blood that came out was sucked by that energy.
A terrifying blood-red spell seal appeared in the air. Black shadows one by one appeared and said his wish. Just then Emperor Ning threw whatever he wanted.
Everything that the inhabitants of the lower realms liked had been prepared in his storage ring. Underworld beings that had passed through the blood seal had automatically been bound by a pact with him. They will obey his commands and fulfill his call in the blink of an eye they will come.
There are so many underworld creatures that enter into its entanglement. Emperor Ning laughed happily.
"Come! Come on keep coming! I'll give you what you want. Do not be afraid, in the war that will happen, you can get another advantage. You can eat the souls of men who are victims of battle." Emperor Ning continued to summon the underworld creatures. His hands did not stop to give them what they wanted. He was very confident that with their help, victory would be on his side.
Emperor Ning did not know if most of the residents of the underworld had also sided with Fang Yin over the command of the Fire Demon King.
