371: The Jiang family then... slaughtered the entire Dayan Kingdom.

How could she not understand Shen Nian's intention? He wanted Xiao Qinger to refine the Pure Lotus Divine Flame, which possessed the strength of the Dao Realm.

But Xiao Qinger was only at the Soul Transformation Realm!

And she had only just reached it!

To span an entire Void Returning Realm just to refine the Pure Lotus Divine Flame?

That was practically a fantasy!

Only because it was Shen Nian who said it did the Female Yan Emperor refrain from shouting that it was impossible; after all, she had been proven wrong by him too many times.

Xiao Qinger was somewhat bewildered. Looking at her Senior Brother's expression, she realized he had known about the Female Yan Emperor's existence all along!

"Hmm." Shen Nian nodded, his expression shifting as he looked at Xiao Qinger.

"Senior Brother needs you to refine the Pure Lotus Divine Flame right now. Can you do it?"

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!

Although the intensity is a bit high, for a Daughter of Destiny, nothing is impossible!

After all, if the Luck of Destiny truly exists, it should allow the Daughter of Destiny to keep pace with the progress of this world...

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qinger took a deep breath, cupped her hands excitedly, and said, "Rest assured, Senior Brother!"

This was the first time Shen Nian had asked for her help, and she would absolutely give it her all!

The Female Yan Emperor wanted to say something but stopped. Looking at the excited Xiao Qinger, she couldn't help but think to herself.

Has this girl gone mad?

Just at this moment.

"Ahem, everyone is here..."

"This subordinate greets the Human Emperor!"

Old Man Tianji suddenly walked over with a silly grin. After glancing at the Female Yan Emperor, she immediately vanished, returning into Xiao Qinger's Divine Soul, leaving Old Man Tianji feeling somewhat awkward.

"What is it?" Shen Nian asked softly, looking at Old Man Tianji.

Old Man Tianji smiled and said, "It is nothing major. It is just that if the Human Emperor has time, you could pay a visit to Lushan Academy. Mr. Qi seems to be in a bad mood because you have been back for so long without visiting him..."

In truth, he was not telling the whole truth!

Qi Jingzhi was more than just in a bad mood!

That emotion was practically written all over his face!

Therefore, after the Heavenly Abyss collapsed, he immediately went back without saying a word...

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but recall some things from his childhood.

"Mr. Qi..." Shen Nian frowned slightly. It seemed that something that had been obscured was becoming incomparably clear.

His childhood memories had never been complete; it seemed it was time to go back for a visit.

With his current strength, traversing the Five Regions of the Human Race was merely a matter of a snap of his fingers. Even without Immortal Arts, he could tear through the Void Realm with his Physical Body alone.

Meanwhile.

A figure stepped into the courtyard; it was the middle-aged man who was one of the three Hall Masters of the Human Emperor Hall.

"This subordinate pays respects to the Human Emperor and Old Man Tianji!" The middle-aged man knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully, a hint of excitement hidden in his eyes.

Nowadays, everyone in the Imperial Pass praised the Heavenly Emperor as invincible and the Human Emperor as invincible. Even as a Cultivator at the Void Return Peak, he couldn't help but worship Shen Nian!

"What is it?" Old Man Tianji looked at him and asked.

The middle-aged man immediately replied, "Three months ago, a heavily injured woman tore through space and entered outside the Imperial Pass, begging to see the Human Emperor. It is the Third Sect Master of the Great Evolution Sword Sect, Yue Chan Sword Immortal!"

"No matter who asks her, she refuses to speak and only demands to see the Human Emperor. She is currently still in the Council Hall..."

"Three months?" Shen Nian's expression was slightly stunned.

Old Man Tianji immediately explained, "The collapse of the Heavenly Abyss caused time to become chaotic throughout the entire Heavenly Abyss and the Imperial Pass. Although only half a day has passed here, three months have passed in the Five Regions of the Human Race, and it has only just returned to normal..."

...

The Human Emperor Hall Council Hall.

A figure stood all alone in the center. Her tattered purple ribbon skirt was stained with blood, and her whole body exuded a trace of Evil Qi. Her face was deathly pale, the blood at the corner of her mouth had already dried, and she still clutched a broken sword in her hand.

She just stood there, saying nothing.

This woman was none other than the once high-and-mighty Third Sect Master of the Great Evolution Sword Sect, who used to be untainted by the mortal world.

She had come here having said only one sentence: she wanted to see Shen Nian!

"Why do you remain silent? What on earth happened to the Great Evolution Sword Sect?" A Hedao Cultivator could not help but speak up again.

Daoist Yuan frowned slightly. The Wang Family Old Ancestor and the Ji Family Old Ancestor also guessed something; they looked at each other with a bad premonition.

Upon hearing this, Yue Chan gritted her teeth. Remembering her Senior Sister's words, she stubbornly refused to speak.

"Yue Chan, I will tear open the Void Realm and send you to the Imperial Pass. You must only speak when you see Emperor Shen!"

"Do not trust anyone!"

"Emperor Shen has not yet established a firm foothold in the Imperial Pass, and among the Human Race's Hedao Cultivators, there are many who are on good terms with the Jiang Family. If you find the wrong person, it will all be over!!"

A Peerless Dao Integration Cultivator could not help but say, "Young Friend Yue Chan, do not worry. The Eastern Profound Domain is the land of the Shen Family. No matter who dares to commit such an act of extermination, I will be the first one not to let them off!"

"That is right. Nowadays, the Human Race is safe and sound, thanks to the Human Emperor!"

"Feel free to speak. I would like to see who is so blind!"

Hearing these words, although Yue Chan felt it was somewhat inconceivable—when had the Human Race's Hedao Cultivators ever cared so much about the Eastern Profound Domain?—she still remained silent.

The next second.

A breeze blew by.

A White-robed Figure stepped into the Council Hall.

"Shen...!" Yue Chan was immediately excited when she saw the figure, but upon second thought, realizing there might be Hedao Cultivators around who were on good terms with the Jiang Family, she stopped herself.

Emperor Shen's Realm is not high right now; only by having him ask the Shen Family Old Ancestor to intervene would there be a chance!

At this moment, she could not cause any more trouble!

"What happened?" Shen Nian asked softly, frowning slightly. He could see at a glance that Yue Chan was at the end of her rope; her internal injuries were extremely severe, and she was only standing there now by sheer force of will.

Yue Chan looked left and right, and suddenly froze.

Those high-and-mighty Hedao Cultivators actually stood up one after another and bowed respectfully to Shen Nian. They looked incredibly devout, without a hint of perfunctoriness; it was entirely from the bottom of their hearts.

Among them were several Peerless Dao Integration powerhouses she recognized, and these were extremely arrogant people!

"Just speak boldly," Old Man Tianji also said. His eyes were calculating something, but because of the collapse of the Heavenly Abyss, he was unable to deduce the result.

The next second.

Thump!

Yue Chan knelt on the ground herself, gritting her teeth as she said, "Emperor Shen, half a month ago, the Jiang Family's Divine Son, Jiang Huang, descended upon the Great Evolution Sword Sect, intending to forcibly take away Miss Jiang Churan. After the Sect Master refused, the Jiang Family... slaughtered the Great Evolution Sword Sect and captured Jiang Churan alive!!"

"The Jiang Family's Immortal Artifact, the Hengyu Cauldron, locked down the entire Great Evolution Sword Sect and directly moved it into the Jiang Family's Ancient Realm. No one in the Sect could seek help from the Shen Family..."

"My Senior Sister fought to the death to carve out a sliver of hope and let me escape..."

"Yue Chan knows this request is a bit excessive!"

"But I still beg Emperor Shen to uphold justice for my Great Evolution Sword Sect. Yue Chan only wants revenge!!!"

Yue Chan knelt on the ground, her voice choked with sobs, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her fists were clenched tightly as she looked at Shen Nian; it seemed this was her only hope for revenge...

After her voice rang out.

The entire Council Hall fell silent...

Even Old Man Tianji's face darkened in an instant.
