Everyone couldn’t help but glance at Shi Aoqiong when they heard his words, feeling comforted and sympathetic.

The pain in Shi Aoqiong’s eyes was even more obvious, as if he was struggling and blaming himself.

Qin Fei looked at him doubtfully, not understanding what had happened.

“Ah … Shi Aoqiong, don’t blame yourself. If it was someone else, you would have done the same!” Emperor Xuanling patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice.

“Actually, I’ve always blamed myself for being able to do it back then, but many times I’ve told myself that I had to do it because I didn’t have a choice!” Shi Aoqiong said painfully.

“Well said, no choice? Is this your choice? My big brother and you are life and death friends. Back then, when you were seriously injured and about to die, my big brother rescued you from the army alone. You recovered very quickly, but what about my big brother? He had been lying in bed for ten years, and only recovered after ten years. He had experienced several death threats along the way. Did he have any regrets about all of this? I feel sorry for him. Those who used their lives to save him ended up personally killing him. This is truly a great irony! “Zhu Yuan smiled angrily.

Shi Aoqiong closed his eyes painfully and clenched his fists tightly. His fingernails pierced through his palms and blood flowed out.

Hearing this, Qin Fei finally understood the reason behind it. He looked at Shi Aoqiong with concern. He could imagine what it was like to personally kill his savior and his life-and-death friend, as well as what kind of torture and psychological struggle Shi Aoqiong had experienced at that time.

“Zhu Yuan, no matter what, this can’t be a reason for you to harm your brother!” Emperor Xuanling shouted angrily, “It was because of that injury that your eldest brother was on the verge of death several times. In order to survive, he chose to join the demons and obtain their demonic energy. He cultivated his demonic nature and became ferocious and violent, becoming Devil. When Shi Aoqiong killed him, he had no choice but to do so. Anyone else would have done so!”

“Well said, for the sake of humanity, but don’t forget, the reason my big brother did this was to save him. I have nothing to say about others killing him, but he, Shi Aoqiong, is not qualified to make a move! He killed my big brother. He was heartless, heartless, and unfaithful. I swore to kill him, but I couldn’t kill him all this time because I wasn’t as strong as him. He was the leader. I had always wanted to take his position. In the beginning, I didn’t get what I wanted. A bunch of idiots always defended him. These idiots, idiots all deserved to die! That’s why I want to kill him. Kill him happily. Anyone who helps him should be killed! Including you! However, I hate it. I didn’t kill Song Bailie. In the end, I suffered a loss! “Zhu Yuan said with an incomparably ferocious expression, as if he was crazy.

“Zhu Yuan, I’m here to apologize. I apologize for your brother’s death, but I’m still saying the same thing. If time goes back, I will still choose to kill him at that moment! I don’t want him to die on personal terms, but for Duke Yu, he must die! There’s no other choice!” Shi Aoqiong said loudly, his expression incomparably firm.

‘”What a grand excuse! I have failed to become a king and defeat a bandit. I have nothing to say now! But remember, even after I die, I, Zhu Yuan, will curse you all forever under the Nine Springs! When you do anything, I hope you will remember that my brother’s vengeful soul has been watching you all the time under the Nine Springs, haha!” Zhu Yuan’s eyes were red, and he suddenly let out a furious roar after the beast was injured. His entire body suddenly erupted with an earth-shattering aura.

Self-detonation!

He actually forcefully broke through the restraints laid down by Emperor Xuanling and self-destructed by gravity.

“Not good!” Shi Aoqiong and the others were shocked and hurriedly retreated.

“You want to run? Die with us!” Pang Ming pounced forward with red eyes and suddenly grabbed Qin Fei.

“Brother Qin!”

Shi Aoqiong and the others were shocked and hurriedly wanted to save Qin Fei.

Qin Fei indifferently looked at Pang Ming who was about to self-destruct, signaling everyone not to come back. He looked at Pang Ming and said, “You can choose not to die. Why do you want to do this?”

“Hmph! What’s the point of living? Brother Zhu treats me with great kindness. I won’t live even if he dies. We are brothers. We will die together! We can’t kill them today, but if we kill you, humans will never be able to defeat the demons. I’m willing to die!” Pang Ming said ferociously.

“Ah” Qin Fei looked at him and Zhu Yuan with pity. He waved his hand and the Profound Spirit Cauldron suddenly covered the entire valley. The self-detonating energy erupted in an instant, causing the valley to tremble violently. Everyone stood outside the valley and glared angrily, worried about Qin Fei’s fate.

The moment Shi Aoqiong and Emperor Xuanling self-destructed, they rushed into the valley, but were stopped by the Xuanling Cauldron, unable to enter.

“What should we do? Zhu Yuan and Pang Ming’s self-detonation, even I can’t survive in the center of the explosion!” Shi Aoqiong said anxiously.

The Profound Spirit Emperor saw that it was the Profound Spirit Cauldron he had refined back then and felt relieved instead. He smiled faintly and said, “It’s fine, this thing is enough to block any self-destructive shocks for him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the valley returned to calm. Qin Fei appeared in front of the two of them unscathed. The valley behind him was a mess. There were traces of violent destruction everywhere. Zhu Yuan and Pang Ming were already dead, including the people Zhu Yuan had subdued.

‘”Shi Aoqiong, stop blaming yourself. Zhu Yuan is unable to understand this matter. This is also human nature, but you are not wrong at all. If it was anyone else, they would have made the same choice as you at that time! They have already entered the Demon Heart, and if they die, it is straightforward. They are also relieved!” Shi Aoqiong said. Emperor Xuanling patted Shi Aoqiong on the shoulder and comforted him.

Shi Aoqiong nodded. Originally, he was not a person with a conflicted temperament. He had already done what he wanted. Although he blamed himself, he did not regret it.

“Let’s leave this place immediately. Their self-detonation is too big. If it attracts the attention of the demons, it will be troublesome! Let’s go back to the karst cave first and discuss the plan for the next counterattack!” Shi Aoqiong said to the rest of the crowd.

Qin Fei followed everyone back to the karst cave and pondered why Guard Tomb told him to find Emperor Xuanling before he could save the God Realm. Emperor Xuanling obviously knew what was going on, but he didn’t understand.

However, he didn’t understand. Even so, there were only a hundred human cultivators now. How could they fight against the hundreds of millions of Devil? This was an impossible task.

“Qin Fei, let’s talk!” Emperor Xuanling greeted him and signaled for a private chat.

Qin Fei nodded. He had always wanted to talk to Emperor Xuanling alone. Speaking of which, the two of them were originally one person, one in his previous life and the other in his current life. Many questions had hovered in his mind for a long time, and he wanted to figure it out now.

The two of them walked to the outside of the cave and stood on a sand dune, looking at the boundless yellow sand from afar.

“Qin Fei, I’ve been waiting for this moment for ten thousand years. Now that you’ve come, I’m at ease!” Emperor Xuanling smiled and looked at him.

Qin Fei also smiled and said, “Great Emperor, I’ve been thinking this way for a long time!”

“Is the empire alright now?” Emperor Xuanling said.

Qin Fei’s expression darkened as he pondered what to say. Did he tell him that the empire he had built was on the verge of collapse?

The Profound Spirit Emperor smiled when he saw that he had not spoken for a long time. His eyes flashed with a sigh and he said, “Actually, I have asked too many questions. When Hall Master Guard Tomb let me enter the God Realm, he had already left behind a prophecy. Now that you have arrived in front of me, is the situation of the empire worrying? Has it reached a critical juncture?”

Qin Fei was stunned. He didn’t expect that he had completely guessed it. He could only nod his head and say, “Yes, the Dark Demons invaded the empire, causing chaos. We have been forced to the brink of despair. There is still one year left. If Guard Tomb’s main body is not rescued, the empire will be reduced to ashes! Life will be ruined!”

“I won’t let all of this come true! Are the descendants of my Zhu Clan still doing well?” Emperor Xuanling said.

“Very good. The current emperor is called Zhu Li. He is very young and very assertive. Under his rule, the empire is very rich. People live a rich life and live a good life. They all praise him as a good king and a good emperor! I am sworn brothers with him! We have fought together and experienced life and death!” Qin Fei said.

“That’s good! Qin Fei, it’s normal for an empire to rise and fall. I won’t make too many demands! As long as our Zhu Clan’s descendants can continue in the end, it will be enough!” Emperor Xuanling nodded.
