The icy plains instantly fell silent.

Lu Lingzi’s gaze immediately attracted the attention of the Lan family’s ancestor and the six elders.

They were wary of this Great Emperor’s disciple.

This person was a peerless genius in the entire Demon Feather Holy Land.

His thoughts were profound and unpredictable.

Moreover, the magical eye on his forehead was profound and mysterious. Not only did it allow him to obtain authority while in the Soul Accumulation Realm, but he could also use it to cast all kinds of terrifying spells.

Although his overall cultivation wasn’t the highest among the disciples of the Lan family’s Great Emperor, his aptitude and methods were extremely astonishing.

There were also many forces behind him and he was valued by some high-ranking figures in the Demon Feather.

Hence, if they wanted to touch him, they had to be exceptionally cautious.

At least in the holy land, it was almost impossible.

Only by leveraging the current wartime period, where the focus of the race was on battling the human race and they had no time for anything else, and by luring this person out of the holy land, with the ancestor of the Lan family using his Ruler cultivation to personally suppress, could they ensure a foolproof situation.

But now… Clearly, they had sealed off all of the other party’s backup plans. However, in this seemingly foolproof situation, the other party’s expression remained the same from the start. His smile was still there as he looked at the pagoda in the sky.

This scene immediately caused the hearts of everyone from the Lan family to skip a beat as they had a bad premonition.

As for Lan Yao, as Lu Lingzi’s Dao companion, she knew more about him. Hence, her expression instantly changed and her breathing became slightly hurried.

The bad premonition that surfaced in everyone’s hearts, combined with their understanding of Lu Lingzi, was becoming infinitely real.

Yue Dong was the same. Uneasiness rose in her heart. After quickly exchanging glances with Lan Yao, the two women didn’t hesitate and immediately retreated, trying to distance themselves and find an opportunity to leave the battlefield.

At the same time, under the gaze of everyone, in the Holy Heaven Pagoda that was floating in the air, Erniu was surprised.

“Why is he looking at me?”

“What does he mean by saying I’m his backup plan?”

“Or is he telling me to continue dubbing for him?”

In the pagoda, Erniu was about to say something but the contemplative look in Xu Qing’s eyes had already dissipated. He took a step forward and walked out of the pagoda, standing outside it!

Xu Qing’s sudden appearance caused everyone who was already on high alert to immediately turn solemn. Their gazes instantly shifted away from the pagoda and focused on Xu Qing.

Erniu was also in a daze. He thought of Xu Qing’s gaze earlier and made a guess.

“Is he…”

Lan Yao was even more bewildered at this moment. Yue Dong’s expression changed again, and the Lan family’s ancestor and the six elders felt that something was amiss, frowning tightly.

Only Lu Lingzi’s smile was as usual. He looked at Xu Qing and smiled.

“Are you my backup plan?”

Xu Qing shook his head.

“Oh? Then why did you walk out?”

A strange glint appeared in Lu Lingzi’s eyes as he carefully sized up Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was expressionless. His gaze passed through the bubble in front of him and looked at Lu Lingzi.

“I’m not your backup, but when I fought with you earlier, I noticed some interesting fluctuations from you.”

“There’s a trace of divine fire fluctuations in your body that’s hidden extremely deeply. If it wasn’t for the fact that my divinity is dominant now, giving me greater perception of divine fire fluctuations than before, and my body is special, it would probably be impossible for me to notice.”

“So, to be precise, it’s my body’s instinct that sensed this fluctuation.”

“I’m very familiar with this fluctuation, so I kept thinking about the source just now, and I found the answer.”

“This divine fire comes from the Human Emperor Parting Summer.”

Xu Qing’s gaze was calm but his words were like thunder that rumbled and exploded in all directions.

Erniu’s eyes widened but he quickly returned to normal. He laughed loudly and quickly walked to Xu Qing’s side. He put on a confident expression that looked like he had long guessed and knew the entire situation like the back of his hand as he spoke proudly.

“Little Qing is right. This is also what I want to say.”

Lan Yao and Yue Dong retreated immediately without hesitation.

The expressions of the Lan family’s ancestor and the six elders completely changed.

Xu Qing’s voice didn’t contain any emotions and continued to echo.

“I think since you have the divine fire of the Human Emperor Parting Summer, there’s a high chance that the Empress personally gave it to you.” “Furthermore, considering the task given by the Empress this time, it’s merely to capture Lan Yao… Given the Empress’s status, She wouldn’t prioritize such minor matters. Therefore, it’s more likely that this fishing expedition has Feng Lintao as bait, Lan Yao as bait, and you as bait as well.”

“She is luring the entire Lan family.”

“In addition, in the previous battles between the human race and the Demon Feather Holy Land, the many victories were because of the leakage of the Demon Feather’s strategic information. Although the Empress gave the merits to Feng Lintao,…”

“There’s a lot of information that Feng Lintao cannot obtain with his identity. Hence, there must be someone else working with the Empress.”

It was rare for Xu Qing to speak so much like this. At that moment, all his words were like a cold wind sweeping past, gathering into one sentence.

“So, your backup plan isn’t me but the Empress.”

These words caused a huge commotion that rumbled in the outside world like a huge wave.

The Lan family’s ancestor immediately spread out his divine sense and sensed his surroundings. At the same time, his body swayed. He didn’t choose to attack Lu Lingzi but headed straight for the sky. He raised his hand, wanting to tear a gap and leave.

The six elders also erupted with their cultivation bases and were extremely vigilant as they rose into the air together.

What Xu Qing said was extremely true in their judgment. Hence, leaving this place and returning to the holy land was the best choice.

Once they were entangled and the Empress really descended, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although the magical eye was important, it wasn’t as important as their own lives.

This was especially since they learned Lu Lingzi was colluding with the human race. Once this news was spread, there was no need for them to make a move. With such a contribution, Lan family naturally would be able to obtain his magical eye.

Xu Qing didn’t pay attention to their actions. Lu Lingzi also didn’t glance at them. He looked at Xu Qing with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

“As expected of the number one heaven’s chosen of the human race. No wonder the Empress asked you to help me.”

“The Empress promised that She wouldn’t tell anyone about me. I thought that She had broken Her promise and told you about me.”

Xu Qing shook his head.

“The Empress didn’t say anything. There’s another reason why I walked out. There are enough fish here. It’s fine even if my judgment is wrong.”

As he spoke, Xu Qing took out the jade token formed by light that the Empress had given him.

Amidst Erniu’s anticipation, Lu Lingzi’s smile, the Lan family’s rapid escape, and the instant the Lan family’s ancestor tore open a rift…

Xu Qing crushed the light token!

A crisp sound echoed through the icy plains.

The world instantly turned pitch-black!

It was as though there was a god that blew out the lights of Wanggu and temporarily removed the concept of light from Wanggu, causing all daytime to turn pitch-black at this moment.

Only the specks of white light that scattered from the shattered jade token became the only source of the light at this moment.

Just like the eruption of the Sun of Dawn.

It was so resplendent that it formed a sea of light that rumbled the entire sky. From the sky, a god with Their eyes closed walked over from the light source! This god was clad in imperial robe and adorned with an emperor’s crown. They were surrounded by the aura of human race’s fortune and accompanied by a storm of divine energy. Their appearance affected time and spanned across space.

The entire space seemed to have become a foil.

The rift that the Lan family’s ancestor tore froze. His body trembled in the air and he couldn’t take a step forward at all.

The souls of the six elders beside him were trembling.

In the distance, Lan Yao and Yue Dong directly turned into statues, dominated by endless fear.

All living beings were affected because of Them.

That peerless figure was none other than the Empress.

She took a step and arrived in front of Xu Qing, opening Her closed eyes.

Endless light shone from Her eyes, becoming the light that tore through everything in the darkness.

Wherever this light passed, the world went from pitch-black to bright.

“You did very well.”

The first person the Empress looked at was Xu Qing.

As Her voice rang out, the human nature that had dissipated from Xu Qing’s body returned.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and bowed.

Erniu blinked and hurriedly went to pay his respects.

The Empress retracted Her gaze and looked at Lu Lingzi.

“Greetings, Empress. I didn’t let you down and have attracted the Lan family’s ancestor and the core elders.”

Lu Lingzi’s expression was solemn as he bowed.

The Empress nodded.

Just as Xu Qing had said, it was naturally impossible for Her goal to be Lan Yao alone. She wanted the core experts of Lan Yao’s entire family. Only by refining all the bloodlines of these people could She shake the Great Emperor who was suspected to have died.

She had long teamed up with this Great Emperor’s disciple.

It was Lu Lingzi who had provided information due to which the human race was able to gain many victories.

Seeing that everything was completed, the Empress calmly spoke.

“I will give you what you need.”

As She spoke, the Empress raised her hand and a wisp of divine fire rose from Her palm, flying toward Lu Lingzi.

For the first time, Lu Lingzi’s breathing became hurried and his eyes revealed heat. He had betrayed the holy land and done everything for… the divine fire! Outsiders thought that he valued his master’s inheritance. However, in reality, after descending to Wanggu and knowing about the Empress, his desire was no longer the Great Emperor’s inheritance.

What he wanted was the fire to become a god!

He wanted to become a god!

For him, his future was everything. Hence, he was unwilling to participate in this war.

Regardless of whether it was in Wanggu or the holy land, he didn’t want to fight meaninglessly and end up as cannon fodder.

He only considered himself and planned to leave the holy land and become a god himself.

After becoming a god, he could go anywhere.

After all, this was the god’s universe. Leaving the cultivation system and becoming a god was the right path!

Originally, he only yearned for this and wasn’t confident.

However, the Empress had found him and given him hope!

As the only cultivator who had successfully become a god, the hope given by the Empress was extremely important to him.

Hence, there were many events since the war started.

Lu Lingzi took a deep breath. After taking the divine fire, he bowed to the Empress again before leaving toward the horizon.

Almost at the instant he left, a sea of light rose from the icy plains.

Amidst the light, the Empress walked toward the Lan family’s ancestor.

The Lan family’s ancestor was horrified. The teleportation rift was right in front of him, but he couldn’t move at all. He could only watch helplessly as the Empress approached.

The huge pressure and terrifying aura caused the Lan family’s ancestor to tremble. No matter how he struggled, the cultivation gap between them that couldn’t be crossed made everything useless.

At the next instant, the Empress raised Her hand and pressed down gently.

The Lan family’s ancestor’s eyes revealed despair. His body was covered by the light and became a part of it. The Empress then took it away.

After that, the Empress calmly looked at the six elders of the Lan family.

Their souls instantly dimmed and melted under the Empress’ gaze, dissipating and wiping away all traces of their existence.

Finally, it was Lan Yao.

They were all taken away by the Empress.

Before She left, the Empress’ voice clearly echoed beside Xu Qing and Erniu.

“Yue Dong has an immortal art, and there’s an inheritance hidden in Feng Lintao’s soul.”

“They are your rewards for completing this mission.”

“Now that Wanggu is in chaos and the situation is complicated, the two of you shouldn’t participate too deeply. It’s best if you find a peaceful place to enter seclusion to comprehend the immortal art and the inheritance.”

The sound gradually dissipated and the world returned to normal. The Empress had already left.

Xu Qing’s gaze landed on the unconscious Yue Dong in the distance as he fell into deep thought. Erniu, who was beside him, looked at the horizon suspiciously and suddenly spoke in a low voice.

“Little Qing, why do I feel that there’s something wrong with the Empress? Why was She talking so much? It looked like She wanted to send us away…” “Could it be that She’s like the old man back then, wanting to eat alone behind our backs?”
