Unsealing: Omnipotent Father

Shang Ting spread the forces, Yan Meng and Fei Lin were both relegated to hold the line for the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom, kill as much as they can and retreat to the Solar Blaze Kingdom to regroup.

The twins are the to head to the Solar Blaze Kingdom with one elder to clean up the mess, they will then make a camp for the two forces to regroup.

Shang Ting, Ouyang Chen, Vielka, and Aiqing headed towards the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom to rescue their allies, Si Baili's group, well, if they had not succ.u.mbed to evil that is.

With the plans set tp motion, Shang Ting immediately sent out a hundred experts throughout the whole of the Vermilion Sonata Kingdom's territory, get as much information as they can and to report immediately when there is something that needs to be relayed.

One and a half more months had passed, Shang Ting's stomach had become visibly more bulging.

Aiqing chuckles: "Mom, what do you think my sibling will be? Boy or girl?"

Extremely excited, Aiqing asked, there will be someone younger than her, finally.

Shang Ting chuckles: "No matter which one, we will definitely be happy."

"Un!" Aiqing nodded in excitement.

They had been saving citizens left and right, refugees not only from the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom, but from other kingdoms as well, trying to escape from a fate worst than death.

News started to spread, the women are spared, but it is no ordinary mercy, they were 'used' to their full extend, without any food, they were used till they died.

Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom termed it as something they should be proud of, to be used by the people that will be the foundation of the new empire.

As Shang Ting and the others marched towards the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom, a scout came back with a piece of grave news.

"Matriarch, the Azure Imperial Kingdom has a mass of refugees heading towards the borders of the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom, they are being chased by many experts!" 

"How many are those in pursuit? And how many are being chased?" Shang Ting asked immediately.

"Matriarch, there are about millions being chased, 90% of them being civilians and weak cultivators, only a single Immortal Foundation rank is guarding them."

"Also, a lot of them were sacrificed, just to stall for time."

Hearing this, Shang Ting felt her heart bleed.

"Those chasing them are only about over a hundred thousand, but there are two hundred Immortal Foundation ranked experts within their army." 

Shang Ting nods her head, truthfully, the human race only has a little over two hundred Immortal Foundation ranked experts, with the news of the Blood Mist Shadow Sect, she could 100% tell that... all of these unknown experts came from them.

"Let's go there." Everyone made nodded but then, another scout arrived.

"Matriarch, the Vermilion Sonata Kingdom is in trouble!" The scout reported.

"What do you mean?" Shang Ting asked.

"Si Baili, their king managed to rescue a few hundreds of thousands of his citizens, but then, a coup started, thousands of experts wearing black robes appeared and started attacking the kingdom's walls, they were able to hold on at first but..."

"A few hundred experts at Immortal Foundation rank appeared, people inside the Kingdom's wall wearing black robes also appeared, he immediately suffered a large disadvantage, he was the only Immortal Foundation ranked expert within the Kingdom!"

Shang Ting frowns. If that's the case, then, they couldn't really do anything anymore, by the time that they'll arrive, it will most probably be long over.

"And... is there any more?"

The scout nodded his head: "Matriarch, when they are about to lose hope, the Vermillion Sonata Kingdom's late king, Si Baili's father suddenly appeared, activating the Kingdom's barrier, but seeing the black-robed enemy's power and the barrier, it will only be about a week or less before it falls."

Shang Ting nods her head. If they were to rush, from their current location, they can still reach the Kingdom's capital in three days, but if they did, then, they will need to forget about saving the millions of lives.

"Ah, right, Matriarch, the citizens that Si Baili had saved, he made them cross the portal before he himself destroyed the portal to prevent those black-robed experts from using it."

Shang Ting sighed, this became another burden on her tiny shoulders, but she needed to make a decision, and she didn't want to abandon either side.

"Aiqing, Vielka, can you go and save Si Baili in my stead?" Shang Ting asked concerned, after all, there are hundreds of Immortal Foundation ranked experts this time around, it will be dangerous.

Aiqing chuckles: "Mom, truth be told, Vielka is far stronger than she currently is, sadly, Granny Lu sealed some of her abilities, again."

Vielka is already at the Immortal Saint rank initial stage, but before they departed, Lulayne Vursch appeared and sealed some of her cultivations again before disappearing before only leaving a burst of very insulting laughter.

"Is that so?" Shang Ting asked Vielka herself, after all, she couldn't trust any words coming from Aiqing's mouth at 100%, excluding the time that she's showing her love for them, after all, the tricky little lady is not really that trustworthy in terms of promises.

Vielka nods her head: "Yes, Mother-in-law."

Shang Ting chuckles: "You don't have to be so serious, you can just call me mom from now on."

"Y-yes... mom..." Vielka blushed as she looked at the ground.

Shang Ting smiled at her and nodded.

Aiqing also smiled, but then, she figured something out: "Mom! What do you mean by that?"

"Hmm?" Shang Ting asked?

"You didn't trust my words!" Aiqing spoke: "I'm your own daughter! What are you saying here!"

Shang Ting chuckles: "Well, you are my daughter, that's why."

"I keep my words, mom, you know that!" Aiqing pretended to fume in anger.

"Sure, like how you got spirit stones from me and your father? To buy some things?" Shang Ting sighed: "I remember you telling your father that I didn't give you any, in the end, you got some from the both of us."

Aiqing chuckles, scratching the back of her head: "Mom, you know, I like many things, so I needed to have more money, I promise, I won't do it again!"

Shang Ting sighed: "I've heard that before."

Aiqing pouts: "This time, it's different!"

"Mhm, I've heard that before too." Shang Ting looked at Aiqing seriously.

Everyone: "......"

Later on, when Shang Ting was about to divide the forces, Aiqing stopped her: "Mom, don't worry, I'll only need thirty of the experts on my side, take everyone with you, Vielka will come along too, so, it won't be a problem."

"And, it will be faster if there are only us experts there, it will take too much time if I brought them along."

"That..." Shang Ting is against it, after all, Aiqing is her daughter, even if she didn't come from her, she treated her as such.

Aiqing looked at Shang Ting and spoke: "Mom, I told you, this time, it's different, trust me."

Shang Ting looked at the little Aiqing, slowly, her figure in her eyes started to change, Shang Ting couldn't help but have her eyes moist: "Right, you're no longer that little girl, you're a fine lady now."

A smile formed on her lips as she nodded and pats Aiqing's shoulder: "Then I trust that you'll do well and take care of yourself." 

She paused and looked at Vielka: "Take care of each other from now on."

"Yes." Vielka nodded immediately without hesitation.

Aiqing smiled at her: "Then, mom, I'll see you a little later."

"Mhmm." As Shang Ting replied, she kissed Aiqing's forehead: "Don't do anything stupid out there."

Aiqing chuckles, she immediately departs from the ground and flew out from the ground and looked back at her mother: "Mom, you know, if I don't cause any trouble, I won't be Mo Aiqing!"

As she spoke, she immediately vanishes, Vielka being left behind also followed, as soon as she did, the thirty experts immediately followed behind her.

Vielka looked back at Shang Ting and bowed before continuing her path to follow Aiqing.

Shang Ting looked at Aiqing's path, even when they've already vanished, she still looked there for a few more minutes.

After a while, Shang Ting smiled: "Let's go!"

"Yes!" Everyone replied.

Oh right, the survivors from the Solar Blaze Kingdom's territory didn't want to participate anymore and made their way towards the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, other than Wei Lin with her Green Jade Sect that joined the twins, Mo Tian and Mo Duan to rescue the remaining citizens of the Solar Blaze Kingdom.
