Eastern: I love doing good things-Chapter 217 - 218 : So it turns out we are all rebels

Feeling the hint coming from the "Book of Good People," Fang Yuan gently exhaled.

If the opponent were a person, Fang Yuan would still be patient and talk to them for a while. However, once the name "Demon Emperor" was mentioned, he knew there was no need for small talk and that he had to strike hard immediately.

"Looks like the power of my [Five Elements Rotating Palm] is quite impressive. It directly wiped out the opponent's body without leaving a trace..."

Fang Yuan sighed lightly. After opening three blind boxes in one go, in order to avoid dragging out the battle and encountering unforeseen complications, he immediately summoned one of his trump cards to settle the matter quickly.

"Though, it seems I forgot to use the Earth Sword again."

Fang Yuan shook his head helplessly. Just a few days ago, he had promised to fight alongside the other person, but he had forgotten again. He quickly summoned the Earth Sword and sent it plunging toward the ground like a shooting star.

A giant hole had already been blasted through the ceiling of the underground palace, allowing all the witnesses to witness this astonishing clash.

Even though it lasted only for a few seconds...

Gao Shang looked up at the sky, just in time to witness the shocking scene of the Demon Emperor of Zhenyue being killed by Fang Yuan's palm. He couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

The moment the Demon Emperor of Zhenyue revealed his true form, Gao Shang could clearly feel the oppressive power from the opponent's "Unyielding Mountain" magic body.

Despite such a powerful existence, it was casually slaughtered by Fang Yuan as if it were a pig...

"Oh my God, may the ancestors bless me, please bless me..." Gao Shang murmured under his breath, his voice full of relief.

At this moment, his insides were filled with regret. He was just a step away from calling upon his ancestors to come out of their graves and bow in thanks.

Thinking back, how reckless he had been when facing Fang Yuan just now, and yet, Fang Yuan hadn't even killed him...

He could only say that the Emperor's mercy was truly vast...

At the same time, the other sealed figure in the coffin began to stir. It was a middle-aged man, his fingers thin and claw-like, gripping the coffin's edge, his gray-white hair revealing a gaunt face.

Though one of his feet had already stepped out of the coffin, he did not move further.

"Why don't you stay quiet here for a while? After all, you wouldn't want to end up like that old turtle, would you?" Lin Lie stood firmly in front of him, pointing to the sky as he kindly advised.

The man remained silent. Like Gao Shang and the Demon Emperor of Zhenyue, upon awakening from the coffin, his heart was filled with anger and resentment after being sealed for so long, and he wanted to vent it immediately.

But who could have known... that upon waking up, he would witness such a scene!

This made the man regain some clarity. He immediately chose to listen to Lin Lie's advice and quietly pulled his foot back into the coffin.

Seeing this, Lin Lie couldn't help but chuckle. But then again, anyone who could still boldly confront His Majesty after witnessing such a terrifying scene deserved a thumbs-up.

Just as Lin Lie was thinking this, the last coffin suddenly exploded with a piercing scream, and the white rainbow-like afterimage shot out, instantly appearing outside the underground palace!

The speed of the figure was so fast that even Lin Lie, a grandmaster, could only watch it disappear in the distance!

It seemed the person wanted to escape, but he certainly had guts!

Bang!

But then, the afterimage suddenly froze, as though it had hit an invisible barrier. However, it was not a copper wall or iron fence that stopped it, but Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan had descended from the sky. He reached out with one hand and easily grabbed the escaping figure, then casually threw them back into the underground palace as though tossing a ball.

The white figure disappeared, turning into a woman's form. She struggled a few times but could no longer get up, collapsing into the pit and groaning in pain.

The woman had a Western face, and behind her, a pair of white wings sprouted, making her resemble an angel from Fang Yuan's past life legends.

"Saint of the Church: Aelia."

That was her name.

Another person from the Federation, perhaps...

Fang Yuan merely glanced at her before turning his gaze back to the white-haired man. In Fang Yuan's perception, Aelia was not particularly strong—she had just entered the Grandmaster realm, but was especially skilled in speed.

Under Fang Yuan's scrutinizing gaze, the white-haired man felt uneasy and could only stand still, waiting for Fang Yuan to finish observing.

"Grandmaster of the Flame Kingdom: Mo Tianxing." Fang Yuan read out the opponent's identity, then looked at everyone and asked, "Anyone recognize him?"

"I do not know, Your Majesty." Lin Lie bowed and responded, while Gao Shang's face showed shock. "Mo Tianxing, are you the legendary Mo Tianxing, also known as 'Overturning the Sky Lord'?"

Mo Tianxing did not respond. He simply nodded slightly. Normally, if he heard such an admiring tone, he would casually wave it off and say, "It's just a false reputation."

But in front of Fang Yuan, he couldn't act that way. The strength Fang Yuan showed was far too overwhelming for him to act superior.

Especially when "Overturning the Sky Lord" was mentioned in front of Fang Yuan, Mo Tianxing felt embarrassed...

Fang Yuan's gaze shifted to Gao Shang, who immediately answered, "Your Majesty, it is like this: A thousand years ago, the Emperor of Yanxuan was corrupted by the eunuch beside him, acting foolishly and recklessly, causing chaos throughout the empire."

"Mo Tianxing took it upon himself to eliminate the traitor, single-handedly storming the imperial palace to rid the country of corruption!"

"The treacherous officials who were ruining the country were eventually killed by Mo Tianxing. But after that, he seemed to vanish as if he never existed, no one could have expected he was trapped here along with me."

"I was deeply moved by his deeds and that... that's why I had the idea of rebellion..."

Gao Shang quickly closed his mouth, afraid that the words "rebellion" might anger the current emperor of the Flame Kingdom.

"It's alright, speak freely." Fang Yuan said indifferently. "Those emperors of the Flame Kingdom have nothing to do with me."

"Like you all, I was a rebel too. It's just that you failed, and I succeeded by chance."

Upon hearing this, both Gao Shang and Mo Tianxing were taken aback. They exchanged a glance, both thinking: "Well, it turns out we're all rebels walking the same path."

Seeing that no one else spoke, Fang Yuan continued, "Alright, the time to choose has come. Join me, or die."

Gao Shang immediately kneeled. "Your Majesty, I am willing to serve you."

Mo Tianxing sighed lightly. "I too am willing to serve you, Your Majesty."

Having been trapped in the coffin for an unknown amount of time, and now freed, hearing that their enemies were dead, the frustration in their hearts had dissipated, and naturally, they wished to live.

"I... I too..." Aelia, the saint from the Federation, also lowered her head deeply.

In her world of faith, there was no loyalty or submission beyond that to the supreme Pope. What's more, this Flame Kingdom was the source of her nightmares.

Being sealed in the coffin was just one part of her torment. What was even more humiliating and infuriating was that the Emperor had forced her to become his concubine, demanding she bear his children.

Every night of hers was filled with tears, and her hatred grew wildly, like weeds.

All the unbearable past made Aelia's hatred toward the Emperor of Flame Kingdom reach its peak. She hated him so much that she wanted to burn the entire kingdom to the ground.

But strength was everything. For now, she could only pretend to submit and secretly contact the Pope. One day... she would turn this place to ashes!
