Imperial God Emperor

Qu Hanshan also exclaimed, “Whether it is the mind, talent in martial arts, or cultivation, he could be said as the best seen in the Human Race of Heaven Wasteland in a hundred years. Unfortunately, in this plan of a hundred years, he suffered a critical injury; fortunately he is still alive. About this matter, let’s think about how we could find a way to save him.”

All the people were sighing endlessly. 

Everybody had witnessed Ye Qingyu’s performance.  

No matter who it was, they all had great respect and admiration for the young Lord of the Light Palace.

A 17-year-old boy had done countless things that the older generation could not achieve.

Not only his personal strength, but the strong personal charm and inspiring demeanour that Ye Qingyu had, touched everyone’s heart. 

Such a younger junior really was a diamond in the rough, worth carving vigorously.

It was a pity. 

If Ye Qingyu knew about this plan of a hundred years, maybe it wouldn’t have resulted like this?

But there was no if. 

It was precisely because of Qu Hanshan, Li Guangbi and many other people like Ye Qingyu, who did not know the truth, summoned up the courage and fought bravely, that they were able to deceive all enemies and make this plan even more perfect.  

“For today’s plan, there had been too many sacrifices. Unfortunately, Ye Qingyu... it can’t be helped.” Right Minister let out a long sigh. “For the Human Race of Heaven Wasteland, even if there was a greater sacrifice, it is worth it.” 

The Old Commander, Li Guangbi nodded in regret. 

Qu Hanshan kept quiet.  

Dugu Quan and Ouyang Buping were both filled with grief and indignation, but could not say anything. After all, just as Lin Zheng had said, there have been too many people sacrificing their life for today’s plan. Martial masters, nobles, and members of the Imperial family had all paid a huge price. 

These kinds of people were not just sacrificed today. 

There have been many more. In order to complete today’s plan, for the past hundred of years, there have been tragic sacrifices, people enduring humiliation, and some could not tell their secrets even till death.

After generations upon generations of human elites stepping up to replace fallen comrades, they finally harvested some results today. 

In this respect, the sacrifice that Ye Qingyu made did not seem to be special.

But at this point, Lu Heng spoke again. 

She said in a low voice, “You are all wrong, Ye Qingyu’s sacrifice is something we cannot afford. Today, even if we were all to die, nothing should have happened to him... Originally, I should have had everything under control, but did not think that the situation unexpectedly changed to this degree, I... this is now the biggest problem, this responsibility, none of us can bear.” 

“Huh?” Right Minister Lin Zheng was taken aback.

Other people stared puzzled at Lu Heng, not knowing why she said such words.

Lu Heng let out a long sigh, “Do you know who Ye Qingyu is?” 

Everyone was startled. 

“Brother Ye, he... is he not Deer City....Young Master Ye of the Ye household?” Dugu Quan was perplexed.

Who was Ye Qingyu?

The question was simply too simple.

The people who were present, which one had not once investigated Ye Qingyu’s identity before.  

The young officer that was promoted by the empire, the person that the Crown Prince his Royal Highness had entrusted with heavy responsibility, must have been subjected to countless investigations. From any point of view, Ye Qingyu’s origin was simple to the extreme, there was no suspicious points. 

Right Minister Lin Zheng used his own network of intelligence and even investigated the midwife that delivered Ye Qingyu. The results were conclusive and unmistakable.

Even Dugu Quan and Ouyang Buping, before making friends with Ye Qingyu, had also investigated his details.

From all the evidences, there was nothing suspicious about Ye Qingyu’s background.

If it was someone else that asked this question, then the people present would have scoffed at the remark.

But the problem was that these words came from the mouth of Lu Heng. 

Lin Zheng and Yu Feiyan knew who Lu Heng was and what her status was more than anyone else. 

The reason that Lu Heng asked this question was of course not to make a joke. 

So that meant that... 

Ye Qingyu’s identity and history were not the same as what the people knew? 

Lu Heng breathed a long, long sigh. 

In her entire life, even in the most difficult days, there was not a time when she had sighed so frequently like she had today, nor was there a time that she was as deeply worried as today. 

She turned and walked towards the [Light Palace]. 

“Miss and Xing’er should return soon... But, I really do not know, how to explain to Miss...”

Lu Heng entered the [Light Palace]. 

Lu Zheng, who had a baffled expression on his face, was frozen with fear and momentarily afraid to speak.

From this sentence of Lu Heng, he vaguely captured some shocking information, and then his whole body stiffened, his feet glued to the ground. 

At this moment, there was a monstrous wave set off in Lin Zheng’s heart.

In his life, no matter what kind of difficulty he had faced, there was not one moment when he was as astonished and frightened as now. A light flashed through his mind, and Lin Zheng felt weak at the knees. 

Cold sweats, like slurry, were trickling down Lin Zheng’s forehead. 

On the other side, Yu Feiyan, seeing Lin Zheng’s expression, also came to realize something. He carefully pondered Lu Heng’s words, when his face went pale and shocked as though he had just seen a ghost. 

“This... no way... it’s impossible?” he exclaimed out loud. 

In a split second, Yu Feiyan felt like his back was drenched.

The other people were more and more baffled.

Yu Feiyan and Lin Zheng had fought for decades, even though it was all an act all this time, they had deceived the whole world. These two were publicly recognized as the most unfathomable two people among the higher officials of the empire, the two terrifying existences that do not reveal any emotions on their face. 

But at this moment, both these men were ghastly pale, trembling. 

Seeing this scene, Dugu Quan and the others immediately realized that something very serious had happened. 

But what was it? 

Related to Ye Qingyu?

What could it be that could made these two so shocked?  

Could it be that Ye Qingyu’s identity and history were not as simple as it appears to be? But even if the Prince died in battle, or the death of the Snow Emperor, these two major figures would not lose their composure as much as they did now?  

Just as a strange atmosphere was forming, there was another flicker of flowing light descending in the sky.

Brilliance flashed into a slim silhouette.

It was Little Princess Yu Xiaoxing. 

“Ah, you’re all here. What about Aunt Heng?” Yu Xiaoxing’s gaze swept across the crowd. Noticing that Ye Qingyu was not present, she then looked at the surrounding mountain of corpses, her mind thinking of that person. 

Lin Zheng pointed to the [Light Palace] with an ashen face.

“Hey? Why does everyone look like they had just seen a ghost?” Yu Xiaoxing noticed the same expression on Lin Zheng, Yu Feiyan and the others’ face, with her intelligence she had a bad feeling inside, turned to look at Dugu Quan and Ouyang Buping and asked, “Ye Qingyu? Why hasn’t he, the Lord of Light, appeared?” 

The two old men knew about Little Princess and Ye Qingyu’s friendship and did not know what to say.

Yu Xiaoxing suddenly realized something.

She immediately sprinted towards the [Light Palace]. 

Just as she came to the entrance, Lu Heng was coming out from the inside. Seeing her, Lu Heng was startled for a moment, then shook her head. “Do not go in for now...”

Yu Xiaoxing stared blankly at Lu Heng. 

The bad feeling that the Little Princess felt inside was becoming much clearer. 

She vaguely guessed what it was. Her eyes flashed with an unprecedented colour of fear, screaming out all of a sudden, her eyes glistening with tears, and then like a lightning she frantically darted inside regardless of what Aunt Heng said...

Lu Heng hurriedly pulled her back. 

“He is seriously injured, the formation of the Palace is repairing his injury, Xing’er, if you really care about him, do not go in to disturb him.” 

Yu Xiaoxing struggled, until she realized that Aunt Heng’s hand was firmly clamp around her arm, stared fixedly at Lu Heng and asked in a sobbing tone, “Aunt Heng, don’t lie to me, tell me, he... is he really okay? Is he just injured?” 

Lu Heng was hesitant for a moment. 

It was this hesitation that almost broke the Little Princess’s heart. 

She struggled desperately. 

But Lu Heng’s fair hand, like lightning, pressed at Yu Xiaoxing’s neck and the Little Princess fainted. 

“Calm down first.” 

Lu Heng sighed again. 

Yu Xiaoxing as the Imperial princess, bore the destiny of the Imperial family. The [Second Floor Sovereign Ruler] Yu Junhan and her went to the Snow Ground Demon Court to destroy the last Domain Gate of other races, and since she came back, then that meant that Yu Junhan must have also returned. 

It seemed that the last Domain Gate had been sealed. 

But Lu Heng’s heart had not relaxed the slightest bit. 

“No matter what, I have to go find Miss, perhaps she could treat Ye Qingyu.” Lu Heng clenched her teeth and decided to tell Yu Junhan.

Carrying Yu Xiaoxing in her arms, she walked down from the stone steps, said a few words to Lin Zheng and the others, and was about to head over to the Royal Ancestral Land, when suddenly----

Swoosh! 

A dark stream of flowing light suddenly ripped through the sky, like an extraterrestrial meteorite, causing an earth-shattering explosion. 

Strong dark forces were surging violently.

“What’s going on?” 

Lin Zheng and the others immediately looked up.

Within Lu Heng’s eyes, lights were flashing. 

Swoosh! 

The dark flames did not stop on the ground. Instead it headed straight towards the entrance of the [Light Palace] at lightning speed. 

“No... stop it!” 

“Who is it?”

Lu Heng yelled and was the first to attack.

Lin Zheng and Yu Feiyan did not react too slow as they flashed over to the palace gate to block. 

“Get lost!” 

The cold voice of a maiden resounded. 

Bang! 

A terrifying flaming bear came roaring out, tearing the void.

The frightening forces of the dark flame ruptured like the wrath of heaven. 

Lu Heng, Lin Zheng and Yu Feiyan were all top experts, yet still could not compete with this force, and were sent hurtling across the air.

And at this very moment, the dark red flames that were wrapped around the young girl’s figure had actually broken the power of the [Light Palace], or rather were not obstructed by the powers of the [Light Palace], directly entering into the inside. 

“Squeak squeak squeak...” 

The little white rabbit in the palace immediately sounded out happily----
