Into The Sky

In the early morning, a group of black-cloaked men arrived at the Southern Tang Empire's imperial palace.

If Xu Chen was here, he would definitely recognize the young man in the lead.

He was Marquis Li Qinghou from the Northern Lands. After he had come to the Eastern Divine Region, he had received a letter from Jiang Baiqiu informing him of the news of Xu Chen's appearance in the Southern Tang Empire.

Therefore, he had come!

After half a month of investigation, he found out that Xu Chen had left the tavern he previously lived in and went to the Imperial Palace.

That was why he was here!

At this moment, Li Qinghou was quietly gazing at the palace in front of him, the long jade steps, and the towering palace at the very top.

Suddenly, a gigantic figure appeared from within his body. It was a man wearing armor and carrying a long sword on his back!

This was the soul of Marquis Li Qing. As a sixth level expert of the Divine Soul Realm, it was not surprising that he had long since cultivated the soul!

Furthermore, his soul seemed exceptionally powerful and sturdy. There was a world of difference between his soul and the ten souls within Xu Chen's body!

And after Marquis Li Qing's soul appeared, the soldiers guarding the Imperial Palace's entrance didn't notice anything unusual about him.

Because the soldiers' realms were too low, no one had the strength to discover the existence of Li Qinghou!

After Li Qinghou had released his soul, his gaze once again fell upon the highest palace in the Imperial Palace.

There was no expression on Li Qinghou's face, but in the next moment, his soul flew towards the palace.

When Li Qinghou's soul appeared once again, he was already in a dark secret room.

A youth in linen robes with his hands and feet chained to the wall.

Although the youngster was covered by a hood and looked somewhat pathetic, his face was even a little dirty. However, it was still unable to conceal the youth's handsomeness.

"Who are you?" The youth raised his head. In the dim light, his eyes seemed rather bright.

"I'm here to help you regain this empire." Li Qinghou said indifferently.

"Why are you helping me?" The youth could tell that the person in front of him had such strength, because the person who possessed the soul was at least a Divine Soul Realm expert!

"You only need to know that I can help you regain the throne. You don't need to know too much." Li Qinghou didn't want this person to know too much.

"What do you want?" After the youth said this, he subconsciously asked Li Qinghou for the deal.

"There's no need for you to pay any price. We only want one name!" Li Qinghou shook his head.

"So that's how it is." The youth gave a shallow smile and said, "You will be famous!"

As for the names these two people were talking about, many people might not understand, but this young man did.

The youth understood that the young man in front of him was from outside the Eastern Divine Region. They needed a famous teacher.

This was because the Eastern Divine Region was the gathering place of the Empire. It was a place that spoke of the law, and it was for outsiders who violated the laws of any empire.

He would be chased by the law enforcers. No matter which power it was, they would be punished for violating the law, or they would have to pay a corresponding price.

Otherwise, it would be provoking the entire Eastern Divine Region!

As a result, Marquis Li Qinghou would not be afraid of anything, because he had the four Heavenly Palaces of the Northern Lands behind him, which could also be considered as representing the Northern Lands.

However, this would bring him a lot of trouble. This was something he didn't want to see, so he had to have a reasonable reputation to break the law.

For example, killing someone in the Eastern Divine Region, or in other words, killing Xu Chen, or even someone close to Xu Chen.

This youth was Lin Yueting's elder brother, Lin Kai. He had lost the last time he had fought with Lin Yueting for the throne.

Even though Lin Yueting did not kill him, he would still be imprisoned here so that he would never see the light of day again.

For Lin Kai, if he had the chance to take back everything that belonged to him, what was the price he had to pay?

Therefore, Lin Kai did not hesitate to reach an agreement with Li Qinghou. Li Qinghou did not waste any words, directly cutting off Lin Kai's chain.

Just as the two of them disappeared into the secret room, Lin Yue Ting, who was in the tallest palace in the imperial palace viewing the reports, suddenly sensed something.

Moreover, she could sense that two Divine Soul Realm experts had arrived.

When Lin Yueting's gaze turned towards the door, Li Qinghou and Lin Kai were already there.

Seeing her brother imprisoned by her side, Lin Yuejing wrinkled her brow. Looking at the youth next to him, she asked, "Who are you?"

"Northern Skyfall Manor's Li Qinghou!" Li Qinghou introduced himself without the slightest hesitation.

"The second greatest genius of the Sky Bearing Empire. I've heard of his name for a long time!"

"But you have already violated the laws of our Southern Tang Empire. Aren't you afraid that the law enforcers will come to the north?" Lin Yueting calmly said.

However, her heart was filled with doubt, but she did not reveal it.

She was curious about her brother Lin Kai, how did he know Li Qinghou, and why did Li Qinghou come here.

"I think you will soon be no queen. Of course I won't break the law." Li Qinghou said calmly.

Li Qinghou's intention was very clear. He wanted to support Lin Yueting's elder brother, Lin Kai, into the throne, allowing her to abdicate.

This way, Li Qinghou wouldn't violate the laws of the Southern Tang Dynasty, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that the law of Lin Yueting, and thus naturally wouldn't be pursued by the law enforcers.

"Coincidentally, I'm also tired of this empire. It's time for me to abdicate." Lin Yueting rubbed his head, his eyes revealing an expression of exhaustion.

For some reason, Lin Yueting started to miss Xu Chen.

"It's best for you to abdicate so that no one will hurt your relationship. However, there is one other thing that I want you to explain." As he spoke, Li Qinghou took out Xu Chen's portrait.

As Lin Yueting gazed at Xu Chen's portrait, she furrowed her brows and asked, "You are his enemies?"

"You can say that. Please tell me about him." Li Qinghou directly looked at Lin Yueting and said.

Lin Yueting also looked at Li Qinghou silently. She had not expected Xu Chen's enemy to be the Sky Bearing Empire. This was not a small problem, and it was very troublesome!

"What if I say I don't know?" Lin Yueting was silent for a moment before speaking.

"If you don't know, I'm afraid you won't be able to abdicate. Her Majesty will pass away!" A trace of killing intent was revealed in Marquis Li Qinghou's eyes.

"I don't believe that. I want to take the throne, and I have the ability to do so. If I want to abdicate, no one can stop me!" Lin Yueting coldly said.

The moment Lin Yueting finished speaking, her soul also stood up from her body!

"First level of the Divine Soul Realm, you are not my match!"

Li Qinghou's voice came from outside the door. His main body had also arrived here!

"How can we know without trying!" After Lin Yueting finished speaking, her soul began to grow larger.

"Turtle-clap!"

Lin Yueting's soul was like a giant; even this massive palace was destroyed by her soul!

"Protect the emperor!"

When the guards outside the palace noticed the situation in the hall, they immediately sounded the alarm!

The imperial guards rushed up to this palace. The long jade steps were filled with the figures of the imperial guards!

"Your majesty the new emperor, I'll leave the matters outside to you!" Li Qinghou said to Lin Kai.

"Got it." Lin Kai replied and walked out of the palace.

Lin Kai stood at the entrance of the palace, coldly looking at the approaching imperial guards, "The old emperor has passed away, and the new emperor has ascended the throne. Whoever dares to offend him will be killed without mercy!"

"First Prince!"

"Isn't the First Prince already dead? How is he still alive?"

The other imperial guards looked at the young man and stopped walking. They looked at each other in dismay.

"Step down!" Lin Kai snapped!

Although these imperial guards didn't know why the First Prince was still alive, since he said he was the new Emperor, Lin Yueting was dead.

In that case, their resistance, their so-called protection, was meaningless. It was like a receding tide!

In the palace, Li Qinghou pulled out his own sword. This sword looked ordinary, but it also looked very old.

However, this sword was the one that had always been following him. It had always been as sharp as a blade!

From Li Qinghou's body, six divine souls once again flew out, filling the entire palace and surrounding Lin Yueting!

The tallest palace seemed to be unable to bear the heavy burden and collapsed!

"Lin Yueting, I'll give you one last chance. Otherwise, you will die!" Li Qinghou said harshly.

Right now, not only was Lin Yueting's cultivation realm lower than Li Qinghou's, she, as a martial practitioner, was not even comparable to Li Qinghou's group of six in terms of soul and soul.

If they were to fight now, Lin Yuejing's chances of losing would be high. But what could they do if they didn't fight?
