"Such a sinister master, one day you will lose all goodwill." The first priest of the Sky Holy Palace, Shi Tian, shouted loudly, seemingly wanting to unleash all his anger.

Lanling crouched down, looking at Shi Tian and said, "Why are you so indignant?"

Shi Tian said, "In your actions, you don’t even speak of dignity. Today you’ve won, so you indulge in humiliating and tormenting your enemies. What if you lose one day? Others won’t give you any dignity either."

Lanling shook his head and said, "I never need dignity; it’s either victory or death!"

Shi Tian said, "Over a decade ago, Zhi Yan killed you, and your family was captured by us. We did not mistreat or humiliate your family; that was giving you dignity."

Lanling said, "Right, you did not mistreat or humiliate my family. But that was because you hoped to domesticate me, like you did with the previous Dragon Emperor. You wanted to fatten me up and then slaughter me. If you had killed me outright back then, would you still have treated my family well? My wife is extremely beautiful, and several leaders of the Sky Holy Palace are considered scoundrels. Would they have spared them? They wouldn’t, so this so-called dignity was only based on your apprehension towards me."

After speaking, Lanling glanced at Gu Ban; he could put a green hat on his subordinate, let alone his enemy’s woman.

Shi Tian shouted, "Such a narrow-minded person, such vindictiveness, such madness, not like a master, not like a master!"

Lanling continued, "The dignity you speak of should be political unspoken rules. If I were like you, defeated you and inherited your power, then I would need to observe these rules. But I am different from you. What I want is to change the world, to make a complete rupture with the world. Therefore, with you, we are completely irreconcilable, naturally, there are no political rules."

Shi Tian said, "Then just kill me directly, why do you still humiliate me?"

Lanling said, "You brought it on yourself because, at the last moment, you cleverly provoked me."

Then, Lanling stepped forward and directly seized the King-level Bloodline from Shi Tian’s body.

In an instant, the highest leader of the Sky Holy Palace, Shi Tian, transformed from a mysterious, wise, and mighty middle-aged man to a decrepit old man. Without the power of the King-level bloodline, he became an ordinary person and hunched over completely.

Lanling waved his hand, and two Hell Knights stepped forward, stripping Shi Tian of his clothes, exposing his ugly body.

Then, with shackles on his entire body, he began a public spectacle.

Let all the people of the Sky Holy Palace see the previously respected first leader’s dignity being trampled, the utmost humiliation.

Everyone watched in terror, faces ashen.

Emperor Lanling truly gave the Sky Holy Palace no dignity, completely trampling them underfoot.

...

The Kept Lord, The Kept Lord!

The remaining priests of the Sky Holy Palace, especially Gu Ban and Tian Daoqi, trembled, their scalps tingling.

There were only these four words in their minds.

Emperor Lanling, truly a Kept Lord!

"Where is Suo Ningbing’s soul?" Lanling looked at Gu Ban.

Gu Ban didn’t want to kneel because facing such a Kept Lord, even kneeling would not grant forgiveness.

But, he still instinctively knelt; he wanted dignity, but inner fear overcame his pride.

"I will draw an energy map for Your Majesty in a moment, marking the place where Suo Ningbing’s soul is exiled." Gu Ban said.

Lanling nodded and directly entered the Floating Heaven Palace.

At this moment, Huai Bingyi beside him was so frightened he fell to the ground.

He knew Lanling detested him most, so he had been waiting for Lanling’s punishment, brewing in his heart to curse and die fearlessly.

He always thought, even in death, he would never beg Lanling for mercy, nor lose dignity and honor before Lanling.

But surprisingly, Lanling seemed to forget him, never mentioning him. He breathed a long sigh of relief after surviving.

...

"The sinner congratulates Your Majesty on entering the Sky Holy Palace!" Ning Wuya knelt down in respect and said, "Should I go fetch the Princess now?"

Lanling was about to agree but thought of this son beside him, said, "Bring Fu Yan’er first."

Although in his heart, Qin Qin weighed far more than Fu Yan’er. But Fu Yan’er was, after all, a mother, and his son, Fu Zilin, was beside him. If Lanling showed disdain towards Fu Yan’er, Fu Zilin might develop psychological issues; this child’s heart was already very sinister.

Half an hour later!

A gust of fragrant wind, Fu Yan’er rushed in and plunged into Lanling’s arms.

She hugged Lanling’s neck and fiercely pecked at it.

"I missed you so much, I missed you so much..."

Lanling’s patience lasted for a minute, then he pushed her away and wiped the slobber off his face. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

He initially wanted to scold but saw Fu Yan’er’s eyes full of affection, worship, and passion, he softened slightly.

This woman is quite foolish, but her love for Suo Lun is pure and intense, not as profound and enduring as Nai’er, but very direct.

Lanling pinched her face, looking at her figure, said, "Imprisoned for ten years, and you still gained weight a bit, truly carefree."

Fu Yan’er gave a sheepish smile and fawned, saying, "It’s because I missed you so much that I got fat, and just a little, I think I look better this way."

What nonsense, missed someone and got fat?

Then, Fu Yan’er said to Fu Zilin, "Baby, you go out first, mommy has something to discuss with dad."

Upon hearing this, both Lanling and Fu Zilin were amazed.

This woman’s cheekiness is thick, what something to discuss, it’s obviously uncontrollably wanting to indulge with Lanling.

But Fu Zilin obediently went out.

As soon as her son left, Fu Yan’er bared her claws and pounced directly onto Lanling.

...

Half an hour later, Gou Li outside said, "Your Majesty, the fourth Hell Knight is here to see you!"

Lanling rose from the throne, patted Fu Yan’er, and said, "You should leave now."

"No... I don’t want to leave. I just want to cling to you," Fu Yan’er said.

Lanling said, "Gou Li, come in and take this troublesome girl to bathe and change clothes."

Immediately, four beauties from the Witch Kingdom came in and carried Fu Yan’er out. Gou Li came in to bathe and dress Lanling, then dressed him in the Demon Emperor’s robes and crown.

This time, for Lanling to be able to conquer the Sky Holy Palace, the fourth Hell Knight’s contribution was the greatest, so Lanling had to formally meet her to show respect.

...

"Minister Hell Knight, Bai Ye pays respects to Your Majesty." Ji Xiuning (the fourth Hell Knight) bowed to Lanling.

"Bai Ye, is that your name?" Lanling asked.

The fourth Hell Knight said, "I have no name or surname. I was once enfeoffed in the land of Bai Ye, so the title is Bai Ye Prince, and thus I am called Bai Ye."

"The land of Bai Ye?" Lanling asked, "Isn’t it the place where the nights are forever bright as well?"

"Yes." The fourth Hell Knight said.

"This world seems to have no such place?" Lanling asked.

"It has already disappeared and been destroyed." The fourth Hell Knight said.

Lanling came down, looking at the body that belonged to Ji Xiuning, and said, "Until now, I’ve never asked, are you male or female?"

"I am a woman." The fourth Hell Knight said, "Among the Thirteen Hell Knights, there are two women, and I am one of them."

Lanling said, "My Empress Dienie, the Ancient Demonic Bloodline in her body belongs to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The fourth Hell Knight said, "I now only possess the soul of a Hell Knight, without the Demonic Bloodline Energy."

Lanling said, "However, you still achieved such a great feat, which shows you relied more on wisdom."

The fourth Hell Knight said, "Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty."

Lanling said, "I plan to return the Ancient Demonic Bloodline in Empress Dienie’s body to you and also bestow her with King-level Bloodline. What do you think?"

"I thank Your Majesty for your graciousness." The fourth Hell Knight said.

Then, the fourth Hell Knight gently shed her skin, and instantly her soul separated from Ji Xiuning’s body, leaving only a soul silhouette kneeling on the ground.

Ji Xiuning stood there frozen like a walking corpse.

It took quite a while before the soul in the depths of her brain gradually revived, as if she had been dreaming for a very long time, and it would take some time for her to fully wake up.

In the past year or so, Ji Xiuning’s body had been occupied by the fourth Hell Knight, her soul suppressed to the mysterious corners of her brain. Although she could hear and see everything, she was completely like a bystander, unable to control her own body in the slightest.

Yet she experienced everything that happened.

Including the rise of Demon Emperor Lanling, the fall of the Sky Holy Palace, the ups and downs of the Dragon Emperor Puppet.

Now, seeing Lanling once again.

Ji Xiuning’s beautiful eyes first trembled, her inner self struggling fiercely.

Should she kneel and plead for mercy?

Would kneeling and pleading for mercy have any significance?

She had already gone too far before, if she were to die heroically now, she could retain a shred of dignity.

But...

Ji Xiuning still trembled as she knelt at Lanling’s feet, crying, "This lowly concubine deserves to die a thousand times, but... but please, for the sake of my three children, spare my life. Please, for the sake of the time I served Your Majesty, and for the sake of the twin children I bore for Your Majesty, spare my life. Hereafter, I will be a slave, a maidservant, serving Your Majesty."

Lanling sighed softly.

He reached out and caressed Ji Xiuning’s stunning face.

So very beautiful, truly heart-wrenching.

Suddenly, Lanling asked, "About the Lunar Holy Palace’s October, who is to meet with me three months later, what do you think?"

"As long as Your Majesty does not cross the line, the Lunar Holy Palace will not harm Your Majesty, just like back then when Emperor E Tian did not plan to attack the Lunar Holy Palace, he was unscathed." Ji Xiuning said.

Lanling said, "Insidious, insidious. You start stirring things up now, you clearly know I won’t compromise, yet you use words to provoke me, ostensibly urging me to compromise and not follow in Emperor E Tian’s footsteps, but in reality pushing me to confront them, so the Lunar Holy Palace annihilates me, and then supports the Sky Holy Palace, allowing you to be part of it."

Ji Xiuning’s face changed, she knelt down and kowtowed, "This lowly concubine dares not, this lowly concubine is wronged!"

Lanling took the Crow Crying Sword and swung it down onto Ji Xiuning’s head!

This woman of unparalleled beauty, fragrant soul shattered!
