Chapter 199: I Am Going To Kill Someone
When he came, the Northern Region Lord was still wondering why his father wasn’t dead.
But now when he heard that his father was about to die, the Northern Region Lord had a different feeling.
It wasn’t sympathy!
It wasn’t sadness!
The Northern Region Lord had only come to see him three times over 3,000 years, so there was no so-called sympathy or sadness.
It was just really complicated!
After all, this was his biological father!
“Bring me over.” The Northern Region Lord said to the priest.
The priest immediately brought the Northern Region Lord over.
A Taoist Temple was built on the tall spine of Qingcheng Mountain. There was a bridge on the cloud ocean and there was a tripod that was built on the peak which absorbed the energy from the sun and moon…
The Taoists on the Qingcheng Mountain really were proper Taoists and they didn’t come into contact with worldly matters.
They spent their time doing their own things and were unrestrained by others and the world.
Some of them were really strong but they still continued with such lives. They didn’t compete with others and didn’t brag about their skills. That was what gave Qingcheng Mountain a thread of otherworldliness to it.
That year, the old emperor went out for a few thousand years and had fun with so many women that he hurt his own body.
Someone at Countless Sands actually spoiled his own body from too much fun. That was just a joke.
Moreover, this joke came from the royal family, the previous emperor.
After Emperor Tianqi found out about this, he was furious. This father really gave him a huge headache.
Emperor Tianqi wanted to send him over to Northern Region Lord but he rejected him.
Originally, the Northern Region Lord wanted to so he could gain a good reputation for it but when he found out that his father was a pervert… Who knew what nonsense he would do if he came to the north?
Would he stop him?
Or would he just look the other way?
Or would he let him do what he wanted?
The moment Northern Region Lord thought about it, he felt his head hurt.
This was why he suggested sending him over to Qingcheng Mountain to heal up. They were also not going to allow him to leave.
When Emperor Tianqi received that suggestion, he agreed right away. He agreed with his brother and sent his unwilling father over to Qingcheng Mountain.
Everyone said that it was he himself who wanted to enter Qingcheng Mountain. However, that was just something that Emperor Tianqi falsified to protect his reputation.
For a pervert to enter a Taoist mountain and never be let down, to grow old and die here, that was a huge struggle for the old emperor.
But the priests didn’t care about him. Anyway, his body had already been trashed and if he went down the mountain, he could fall to his own death and be attacked by beasts or bitten by poisonous snakes.
The old emperor was a coward, so he gave up and stayed at Qingcheng Mountain.
When the Northern Region Lord thought about the pain that he had gone through, he couldn’t help but laugh.
But he was afraid that the priest would find it weird, so he used his energy to seal his own laughter.
The mountain peak was covered in white snow and surrounded by clouds. The red dusk sun turned this place into a flaming ocean.
It was so stunning.
There was a Taoist temple here. It wasn’t huge and there were only a few houses.
The priest said, “Northern Region Lord, the emperor is inside. My master said that he is coming to the end of his life and that celestials won’t be able to save him. Go take a look, once he passes, you can either bring him away or bury him here.”
Northern Region Lord nodded, “Thank you.”
He smiled and left.
The priests in Qingcheng Mountain didn’t care about fame or money. When he saw the Northern Region Lord, they just sent the young priest to welcome him. Unless it was needed, the chief priest wouldn’t appear.
Creak!
The Northern Region Lord pushed open the door and walked in.
In the past, the strong, energetic, and charmingly dressed old emperor was now all dried up. His hair was all gone and his face was covered in spots. He was thin and shriveled up.
He laid on the bed and was unable to move at all. One could only hear weak breathing sounds from him.
He didn’t even notice that the Northern Region Lord had entered.
The Northern Region Lord realized that the stubborn, perverted, and casual father of his was really about to die.
The expressionless Northern Region Lord injected thick True Qi to activate his final bit of lifeforce.
That final bit of energy before death!
The old emperor opened his eyes and saw the Northern Region Lord. He was stunned. Like a drowning person seeing hope, he grabbed his arm tightly, “Son, please bring me back to the God Capital and find the best medicine and herbs to save me. I don’t want to die!”
“I can’t save you.” Northern Region Lord said coldly.
“What kind of attitude is that?” The old emperor was furious and chided.
“Do you want to kill me?”
“Haven’t I treated you well? I wanted to pass the throne to you but you didn’t want it.” After he chided him, he started to talk about their close relationship.
He just didn’t want to die.
The Northern Region Lord shook his head. “Stop struggling and let’s talk nicely. I have activated all of your lifeforce and this is your final breath. Once it passes, you will also pass.”
The old emperor was stunned. He laid on his bed in despair and muttered, “So unfilial. Both you and your brother are so unfilial, actually locking me in this deep mountain for 3,000 years. You two have forced me to death.”
The Northern Region Lord looked on quietly and allowed the old emperor to scold him without arguing back.
Instead, he was really curious. Would people like him not know how to reflect?
When they were about to die wouldn’t they think back on their lives?
He only knew how to blame others? Did he think that the whole world revolved around him?
The old emperor was such a person. Even when he was about to die he was still grumbling and blaming, even cursing others.
On this night, the wind and snow added to each other and lowered the temperature.
In the room, the old emperor scolded the Northern Region Lord and Emperor Tianqi for a whole night until he swallowed his last breath.
The Northern Region Lord was scolded for a whole night. Especially for the few minutes before he died, the old emperor was like the biggest demon in the world, his extremely toxic curses reverberated throughout. Many of them were things that the Northern Region Lord had never heard of in his entire life.
On that night, he completely understood.
The Northern Region Lord knew how stubborn and evil a person could be.
Not only him, but even Emperor Tianqi was scolded. Luckily, he wasn’t here, otherwise, with Emperor Tianqi’s temper, he would send him on his way.
The Northern Region Lord didn’t reply and allowed his father to scold him. In truth, at the last moment, the old emperor wasn’t thinking anymore and was just instinctively scolding people.
When the light shone in and the clouds bellowed, the Northern Region Lord stood up and walked out expressionlessly. When he looked at the rising sun, he felt really relaxed, like he could accept anything in the world.
“I am finally breaking through!” Northern Region Lord said calmly.
He sat in the room and had been scolded for a full night. However, that solved the biggest problem in his heart.
His father, the person who gave him life, was trash. How could he be angry because of a piece of trash?
The trash was dead and the world had one less problem. That was a good thing.
His depressed heart was suddenly free and he saw the beauty of this ending. He stepped forwards.
Hong!
With one step, the Northern Region Lord broke through to Legend Realm!
