Just half an hour later!

The entire Floating Heaven Palace was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, as tight as a drum.

The Sub-emperor (Dragon Emperor Puppet), like a Golden War God, stood on the square of the Floating Heaven Palace, towering almost beyond the height of the Sky-Piercing Dragon Tower.

Truly majestic and unmatched.

Hundreds of thousands of Temple Grand Army surrounded the entire Floating Heaven Palace. Although the number wasn’t vast, there were nine hundred Tomb Priests, three Sky Priests, four Sky Judges, and three Sky Holy Palace leaders.

So, merely speaking of strength, it truly resembled the vast ocean, wielding the banner of the Sub-emperor, imposing on all fronts.

The eight hundred surrendered Tomb Priests trapped inside the Floating Heaven Palace truly trembled, feeling the end was near. Some even regretted, wondering if they were blinded by folly, having been deceived by Fu Lingxi and Fu Zilin, leading to their surrender?

Your Majesty naturally wouldn’t speak.

The three Sky Priests also disdain negotiating with Fu Lingxi and Fu Zilin, so it was left to Huai Bingyi.

Huai Bingyi stepped forward, coldly saying: "The Dragon Emperor is reborn, why do you not kneel yet?"

Inside the Floating Heaven Palace, the surrounded eight hundred Tomb Priests exchanged glances, knees feeling weak, but ultimately did not kneel.

Huai Bingyi said: "Now, the Dragon Emperor has been reinstated. Such clowns as Lanling are doomed soon. Are you Tomb Priests still lost in confusion? Kneeling now, there’s still a glimmer of hope. Once we take action, you will be obliterated."

The eight hundred surrendered Tomb Priests inside the Floating Heaven Palace became increasingly anxious, almost unable to breathe.

Fu Lingxi, adept at scheming, resorting to all tricks, now trembled, unable to speak, nor dare to stand up.

Ji Xiuning (Hell Knight number four) had long anticipated this, knowing that these surrendered Tomb Priests were unreliable, Fu Lingxi was unreliable too; hence, she went to great lengths to have them transform the energy giant tower of the Floating Heaven Palace into the Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower.

Instantly, Ji Xiuning coldly said: "Gentlemen, you have surrendered to Your Majesty, now is the time to demonstrate loyalty. You are not asked to rush out and fight, but do you not have the courage to stand against Huai Bingyi?"

Upon hearing this, several Tomb Priests took a half step forward, then retreated.

Huai Bingyi shouted from outside: "If any among you hand over the rebellious Fu Lingxi and the demonic spawn Fu Zilin, not only will you be innocent, you’ll be credited. Don’t forget, because of the surrender, because of the great war, many positions are vacant in the Sky Holy Palace. And as long as others do not resist, do not oppose, all shall be forgiven. Kneel before the Dragon Emperor, and all will be pardoned."

Hearing this, the eight hundred surrendered Tomb Priests grew restless, involuntarily looking towards the third layer of the Sky Holy Palace.

If Demon Emperor Lanling has any divine prowess, now is the time to use it. If not, it signifies a lack of ability; don’t blame us for flipping faces and betraying again.

Witnessing the low morale of their own side and Fu Lingxi trembling uncontrollably, almost speechless.

Fu Zilin stepped forward, pointing at the Sub-emperor: "Though I’m only ten, I know this person isn’t the Dragon Emperor, he’s merely a Dragon Emperor puppet, can’t deceive anyone."

Upon seeing this disciple, Huai Bingyi recalled the shame of being slapped, coldly saying: "Demonic spawn, deserving of death by all. Whoever silences him, captures him and delivers him, might earn a position in the Sky Holy Palace." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Hearing this, Gu Ban frowned.

What authority does Huai Bingyi have to speak so? The reason for not attacking the Floating Heaven Palace, for not slaughtering these Tomb Priests, is that these eight hundred Tomb Priests are all Sub-King Layer, even Royal Layer powerhouses, and the Dragon Emperor Puppet can absorb everyone’s power.

The power of these individuals is incredibly precious, useful in the peak showdown against Demon Emperor Lanling.

Thus, if internal battles within the Sky Holy Palace can be avoided, they should be.

So, despite the overstepping nature of Huai Bingyi’s offer, given the urgency, it was temporarily ignored.

Huai Bingyi sneered: "Just capture the demonic spawn Fu Zilin, the rebel Fu Lingxi, and present them, a position awaits in the Sky Holy Palace. Is no one tempted?"

The eight hundred Tomb Priests inside the Floating Heaven Palace grew even more restless.

Suddenly...

A Sub-king Layer surrendered Tomb Priest flashed forth, grabbed Fu Lingxi around the waist, approached Fu Zilin from behind, lifted him, and dashed towards Huai Bingyi.

From the Energy Prison, Ji Xiuning (Hell Knight number four) sneered: "The prince has been captured, do you not rescue him? Are you just standing there motionless?"

The eight hundred surrendered Tomb Priests cursed inwardly.

Damn, you move so fast, snatching up Fu Lingxi and Fu Zilin to present to the Sky Holy Palace, to the Dragon Emperor Puppet? How greedy, not even leaving one for us?

Of course, during those few minutes, they didn’t move to capture Fu Zilin and Fu Lingxi to present to the Sky Holy Palace. They were afraid, now someone else acted, they felt envious, resenting that they acted too late.

Seeing no one move, Ji Xiuning (Hell Knight number four) said: "What a shameless bunch, don’t forget you swore the Divine Dragon Blood Oath and signed the Energy Contract."
