World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 2052 - 955: Ruthless! Ji Xiuning Must Die!
Ji Xiuning said, "I want to go out of the city to a place because I dreamt of Lanling last night. I dreamed of meeting Emperor Lanling there."
Ji Xiuning’s reason was very simple, yet absolutely effective.
Lanling had been missing for a long time, and everyone was waiting for him to return. However, almost everyone in the upper echelons of the Flame Demon Empire believed that Lanling was dead and would never come back.
So when Ji Xiuning said she dreamed of Lanling, despite it being insincere, it was of great significance to Lanling’s loyalists, like a beautiful symbol and prophecy.
Upon hearing the name Lanling, the son of Xie Li Khan immediately knelt down and said, "I am willing to escort Your Ladyship out of the city to that place, but I need to report to Her Majesty the Queen Empress. Her Majesty has decreed that anyone leaving the city must obtain his consent."
With Ji Xiuning’s martial prowess, of course, she could force her way out of the city, but let’s not forget the powerful mental force of the Mirror Demon King overhead.
Thus, Ji Xiuning nodded.
Xie Li’s son said, "Prince of Mirror, please report to Her Majesty the Queen Empress."
"Okay, Son of Xie Li, Duke’s heir," said the Mirror Demon King.
In just a moment, Queen Empress Dienie descended in front of Ji Xiuning.
For miles around, everyone knelt in unison: "Greetings, Your Majesty the Queen Empress."
Ji Xiuning said, "Queen, I dreamed of Lanling last night. We met at a place, outside the city somewhere; I don’t know where exactly, but I want to go look. Maybe it’s a sign from heaven."
Empress Dienie said, "Alright, then I’ll accompany you."
Ji Xiuning said, "I wish to go alone; only then can I be devout, and it’s easier to pray."
These words have great impact.
Because everyone at the top now knows Lanling has perished, and no one knows whether he can be reborn or return. Even the slightest hope is not given up, dreaming of his return as a king, even willing to sacrifice themselves for Lanling’s return.
The upper echelons of the Flame Demon Empire, whether it be the Witch Kingdom or the Centaur tribe, are willing to sacrifice their entire clans to heaven for Lanling’s return!
So when Ji Xiuning says she dreamed of Lanling and wants to meet him, it’s irrefutable. If Dienie refuses, it could escalate to obstructing Emperor Lanling’s return.
"No," Dienie said outright, "Either I go with you, or you can’t leave."
But Dienie is always straightforward, never beating around the bush.
After a silent moment, Ji Xiuning looked at Dienie for a while and said, "Alright, I want to leave Flame Demon City."
Dienie said, "Why?"
Ji Xiuning said, "Because the Flame Demon Empire is on the verge of collapse, and I don’t want to be buried with it."
Dienie said, "Very well, honesty is good. If you don’t want to stay and be buried, I certainly won’t stop you. I won’t stop anyone; anyone who wants to leave can do so."
Ji Xiuning said, "Alright then, I’m leaving."
Dienie said, "If you didn’t want to be buried, you should have left earlier. Why wait until today? You must make it clear; if you don’t, you can’t leave."
Ji Xiuning found that although Dienie was very straightforward, she was very difficult to deal with.
Ji Xiuning said, "Because I’m sure Lanling is already dead!"
As soon as these words came out, all the surrounding Centaurs drew their swords, ready to tear Ji Xiuning to pieces.
In the eyes of all the Centaurs, Lanling is a god, and this woman dares to curse Emperor Lanling as dead?
Dienie said, "That’s not a reason; there must be another reason. If you don’t say, you can’t leave."
After a moment of silence, Ji Xiuning said, "I am an undercover agent sent by the Dragon Temple to be with Lanling. With the great battle approaching, I no longer have a mission and must leave."
Dienie’s face twitched, "That’s a sufficient reason, but you’re still hiding something. I can feel it; say it, and I’ll let you go."
Ji Xiuning would rather confess she’s an undercover agent, as the Flame Demon Empire has already fallen, with Lanling dead, there’s nothing left to hide about this identity.
Now, her only task is to leave, report the Hell Knight situation to the Dragon Temple, and then block all Hell Knight escape routes.
And have the Dragon Temple send its top experts to the Flame Demon Empire to capture all five Hell Knights in one fell swoop.
After a moment of silence, Ji Xiuning said, "I have poisoned all three children. The Divine Demon Source Spring in the Witch Kingdom made me pregnant with the Qi Ren left behind, and the two children I carry, I poisoned them all with poison from the highest lab of the Dragon Temple. Only the Dragon Temple has the antidote; I can control the poison’s onset. Once it activates, these three children will contort into a ball, become a twisted monstrosity of bones and muscle, less than a foot tall, and ultimately die in agony."
Dienie’s face drastically changed.
"If you don’t believe me, I can let you see," Ji Xiuning said.
Then she controlled this mental toxin within her mind.
At this moment, the four-year-old Qi Ren was playing chess with Lan Suo baby. This year in Flame Demon City, he had a joyful life with a bunch of brothers and sisters, and a younger brother. He loved playing with Lan Suo the most, as their personalities were similar.
Suddenly...
He let out a shriek, his tender arm twisting grotesquely, like a chicken’s claw, from a foot long, warping to just two or three inches, an unbelievably bizarre horror.
Nearby, Dina rushed up, cradling him in her arms, crying out, "Baby, what is wrong? What’s wrong with you?"
The four-year-old Qi Ren, cold sweat pouring down from the pain, shuddered, "Mom... Mom..."
Then he fainted right away.
The Mirror Demon King immediately reported everything to Dienie.
Dienie was utterly shocked, unable to believe her ears.
Qi Ren was Ji Xiuning’s own flesh and blood, yet she was so ruthless and resolute.
And the two babies in her arms were also her flesh and blood, yet she was willing to poison her three own children to escape.
The ruthless and cold-hearted nature of the Dragon Temple people is utterly chilling.
"Let me go, otherwise Qi Ren will be twisted into an ugly monster, and then die in pain over several days and nights, including the two twins I carry, these are Lanling’s own flesh and blood," Ji Xiuning said.
Dienie closed her eyes in pain, took a deep breath, and said, "Ji Xiuning, you are destroying the Dragon Temple completely. Once my husband returns, he will surely exterminate your Ji Family and annihilate the Dragon Temple."
Ji Xiuning sneered, "Lanling? That fool, he’s already dead!"
Dienie sighed, "Alright, hand over the two children to me, and you can leave."
Ji Xiuning, without hesitation, threw the twin babies back to Dienie, then flew out of Flame Demon City without looking back.
The twin babies in Dienie’s arms wailed, crying out with their unclear speech, "Mama... Mama..."
This was the only word they could pronounce.
...
The edge of the Fallen Land!
"After countless years, someone finally came," the woman with only half a body sighed to Lanling, "Come in."
...
Note: I hesitated for a long time, wrote it, deleted it, but still wrote it out.
Because I needed to give Ji Xiuning a storyline of certain death! That’s why it’s written and deleted, so the update was so late, sorry.
