Chapter 1440 - 1373: Will Killing You Ease My Hatred?

"Willful..."

The Kylin Army Commander murmured to himself.

As the ruler of a nation, holding the fate of millions, how can one be willful?

He looked at the emperor's back and asked, "Are you really Your Majesty? Why do I feel like you've become a different person?"

"You can consider me not to be."

The emperor replied without turning his head.

"Why?"

"What exactly is the reason, can you tell me?"

"Where has the emperor who once dominated all directions and regarded all heroes with disdain gone?"

The Kylin Army Commander roared, his face full of disappointment and confusion.

The emperor fell silent.

"Answer me quickly..."

The Kylin Army Commander shouted repeatedly, almost losing his reason.

These days, he and Elder Qin have been almost running around in the Imperial Capital, while the emperor is leisurely enjoying life here?

He no longer knew how to describe his feelings at this moment.

"Go back!"

After a long silence, the emperor finally spoke, but offered no explanation, his tone as calm as ever.

Upon hearing these words, the Kylin Army Commander's fingers instantly clenched tightly, cracking.

"If you don't leave, don't blame me for not being polite."

The emperor spoke again, his calm tone carrying a shocking chill.

"Alas!"

The Kylin Army Commander sighed heavily, turned to open a portal, and silently left with a heart full of disappointment.

The emperor never looked at the Kylin Army Commander, drinking tea while quietly watching the stream, his gaze indifferent, as if he had abandoned everything.

"Since you don't want to manage the affairs of the Imperial Capital, hand over the Imperial Jade Seal."

But suddenly.

A distant voice sounded.

Qin Feiyang appeared out of thin air not far from the emperor, but he didn't look at him, instead gazed coldly at the small fish swimming in the stream.

The emperor raised an eyebrow, turned to stare at Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang said indifferently, "This time I've come for no other purpose, only two things: one, the Imperial Jade Seal; two, your handwritten decree."

"What if I don't give it?"

The emperor asked.

Qin Feiyang smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you very fond of this place? If you refuse, I'll make sure you stay here forever."

Anger flashed in the emperor's eyes, he asked, "Why do you want the Imperial Jade Seal?"

"It's none of your business."

Qin Feiyang replied.

The emperor said angrily, "Don't forget, for better or worse, you are also my son..."

"Don't say that to me!"

"You don't deserve it!"

But before the emperor finished speaking, Qin Feiyang roared.

Immediately following.

The Thunder Leopard and Wang Yangfeng along with others appeared without warning, standing behind Qin Feiyang, glaring at the emperor.

Qin Feiyang took a deep breath, suppressing his inner anger, and said calmly, "I'm only giving you three moments, after three moments, if you don't hand over the Imperial Jade Seal, I'll personally bury you, don't doubt my determination."

The emperor glanced at Wang Yangfeng and the others, then looked at Qin Feiyang.

Yet throughout, Qin Feiyang did not look him in the eye, his expression filled with a murderous air.

"What goes around, comes around, you'll get what you deserve in the future, believe me."

A moment later.

The emperor coldly said, and then waved his hand, a streak of light shot out from his Qi Sea and flew in front of Qin Feiyang.

It was the Imperial Jade Seal!

Qin Feiyang grabbed it in his hand, carefully examining it, then after confirming it, put it away.

"Retribution..."

Then.

He looked at the babbling creek, muttering to himself.

"If there's really retribution..."

"Then the person receiving it will only be you."

Suddenly.

He smiled coldly and said, "Elder Wang, prepare the pen and ink now!"

"Yes!"

Wang Yangfeng respectfully answered, walked to the emperor, took out a table, and placed it before him.

Then, he took out pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and set them on the table one by one.

The emperor raised an eyebrow, looked at Qin Feiyang, and asked, "What do you want me to write?"

Qin Feiyang said expressionlessly, "Abdicate the throne to the young prince, and I will replace the State Preceptor, assist the young prince, control the court, as for how to write specifically, I believe I don't need to say, you should know."

The emperor's face sank, angrily glaring at Qin Feiyang.

"Don't look at me with those eyes."

"Ever since you left the Imperial Capital, your fate has been sealed."

"So don't blame me, if you're going to blame, blame only yourself."

Qin Feiyang said calmly.

Upon hearing this.

A trace of viciousness suddenly crawled over the emperor's eyebrows.

"You really have a good plan."

"With the real Imperial Jade Seal and my handwritten decree, you'll be able to do whatever you want in the Imperial Capital."

"You might even manipulate the young prince at will."

"But I'm telling you, I won't let you have your way."

The emperor sneered.

"Won't let me have my way..."

Qin Feiyang murmured, then suddenly smiled and said, "Do you still remember what you did to me when you banished me from the Imperial Capital?"

The emperor's pupils shrunk.

"To be honest, a long time ago, I wanted you to taste the bitterness of losing cultivation and becoming a useless person."

"However, I never found the opportunity."

Qin Feiyang laughed softly.

"How dare you!"

The emperor glared at him.

"I really don't know what in this world I, Qin Feiyang, would not dare to do."

Qin Feiyang laughed coldly and said, "Wealthy Elixir King, immediately refine an Elixir of Misfortune for me!"

"Alright."

The voice of the Wealthy Elixir King immediately echoed in Qin Feiyang's mind.

"Don't push me too far!"

The Emperor stood up and glared at Qin Feiyang, shouting.

"Back then, when you forced me to swallow the Elixir of Misfortune, didn't you think you were going too far? Didn't you just mention karma earlier? Well, this is your karma."

Qin Feiyang said with a cheerful smile.

The Emperor's heart sank.

Qin Feiyang was aggressive, and the Thunder Leopard and Wang Yangfeng as well as others were all watching intently. Does he have a choice?

"Alas!"

The Emperor sighed deeply, his expression unbearably desolate, as if he had aged decades suddenly.

Qin Feiyang said, "Hurry up, my patience is limited."

The Emperor glanced at Qin Feiyang, then turned to look at the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.

The paper, Wang Yangfeng had already laid out.

The ink, Wang Yangfeng had also ground.

The pen, Wang Yangfeng handed over with both hands to the Emperor.

Now, they were just waiting for the Emperor to pick up the pen and draft the decree.

"I never expected this!"

"I, the ruler of a nation, would fall to this state. Pitiful, lamentable!"

The Emperor exclaimed pitifully, grabbing the pen from Wang Yangfeng's hand, and then began writing quickly, line by line of small characters appearing.

——I have comprehended the Mystery of Divinity and reached the realm of Pseudo God!

Yet, after achieving divinity, my mindset has transformed, seeing through all worldly matters. I no longer wish to handle affairs, desiring instead to retreat into cultivation.

After careful consideration, I have decided to abdicate the throne to young Prince Qin Haotian.

However, as the young Prince is still too juvenile to manage state affairs, I hereby appoint Qin Feiyang to the position of State Preceptor of Great Qin, to assist the young Prince until he grows mature.

This is my personally written decree, and civil and military officials, as well as feudal lords from all directions, are not allowed to raise any objections.

Accept this!

That was the entire content of the decree.

Wang Yangfeng picked up the paper, blew dry the ink on it, and after a careful examination, nodded to Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang stepped forward, glanced at it, then took out the Imperial Jade Seal, and stamped it on the paper with a bang.

A red jade seal instantly imprinted on the paper.

Then.

Qin Feiyang stored away the decree and Imperial Jade Seal, then looked at the Emperor and said, "Now everything in the Imperial Capital is no longer related to you. Just slowly enjoy it here!"

After saying that.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, sending Thunder Leopard and Wang Yangfeng and others to the ancient castle, and then opened a teleportation gate.

"Now that you have such a good opportunity, why not directly kill me?"

Just as Qin Feiyang was about to enter the teleportation gate, the Emperor asked gloomily.

"Will killing you relieve my hatred?"

"No."

"Next, I will let you know how foolish your actions were back then."

"I will make you, live a life worse than death, and regret for a lifetime."

Qin Feiyang left a calm statement, turned his head, and entered the teleportation gate.

"Now you don't kill me, you'll regret it later..."

The Emperor murmured while watching Qin Feiyang's back.

...

Whether it was the Kylin Army Commander or Qin Feiyang, after leaving the Emperor, they went directly back to the Imperial Capital.

When the Kylin Army Commander informed Elder Qin about the Emperor's words truthfully, Elder Qin also looked disappointed.

He exclaimed that the Emperor is not worried, yet the eunuch is in a hurry. When the Emperor himself isn't worried about the throne being seized, what's he fretting about?

Yet despite this, he couldn't let it go.

His affection for the Great Qin Empire was too deep to ignore its difficulties.

All of this, Qin Feiyang observed, feeling pleased in his heart.

Regardless of the State Preceptor, Emperor Hong, or the Emperor, at least there were figures like Elder Qin and the Kylin Army Commander who genuinely cared for Great Qin.

Nonetheless.

Qin Feiyang didn't say anything, steered the ancient castle directly back to Bright Sky Palace, then sat on the seat and pondered deeply.

After a long time, he lifted his head, took out the Image Crystal Stone, and sent a message to Yan Wei.

Buzz!

After waiting for a while, Yan Wei's apparition appeared.

Qin Feiyang asked, "What was Emperor Hong's expression when he saw the corpse and the Imperial Jade Seal?"

"Expression?"

"To be honest, not even a hint of sadness was visible on his face."

"I'm bewildered, are all of you from the imperial families this heartless?"

Yan Wei frowned.

"Otherwise, would there be such a saying that the most heartless are the imperial families?"

Qin Feiyang laughed coldly, asking, "Then when is he planning to have the young Prince ascend the throne?"

Yan Wei said, "He is currently discussing with the State Preceptor, no result has been reached yet."

"Once the result is out, inform me immediately."

Qin Feiyang instructed.

"Understood."

Yan Wei nodded.

Qin Feiyang closed the Image Crystal Stone, pondered for a while, and then successively messaged Lu Xingchen and Elder Qin.

Although he now held the real Imperial Jade Seal and the Emperor's decree, there could still be unexpected situations.

The State Preceptor also certainly wouldn't easily let him succeed.

Therefore.

He needed help.

Elder Qin was a Pseudo God, and Lu Xingchen could now exert the combat power of a Pseudo God, seeking their help was undoubtedly the best choice.

However, when informing Elder Qin and Lu Xingchen, Qin Feiyang did not disclose his plan.

Just mentioned needing their assistance.

After all.

Lu Xingchen was also a person full of ambition, he had to be cautious.

And upon hearing Qin Feiyang needed help, Elder Qin did not ask further, directly nodding in agreement.

Because at this moment, he couldn't find any way to stop the State Preceptor, hence had to pin his hopes on Qin Feiyang.

As for Lu Xingchen.

Unsurprisingly, he posed conditions to Qin Feiyang.

After all, he was a person who would never easily let any opportunity slip.

And the condition was still the nullified one from the last time.

Qin Feiyang considered it for a while, nodded in agreement.

Having arranged everything, Qin Feiyang entered the ancient castle, and began working on the fourth stroke of the Action Art.

Presently, his cultivation was still insufficient, or why else would he need to find Lu Xingchen and Elder Qin for help? Thus, enhancing his cultivation was of utmost importance.
