142: Green Tea Monster

Imperial Palace.

The Great Guardian carried Dragon Feather back to the imperial palace and directly threw him in front of the Divine Dragon Emperor.

Looking at Dragon Feather, whose body was surging with devil energy, the Divine Dragon Emperor frowned tightly. How long had it been? How could he have become so deeply demonized?

It shouldn't be like this.

Could it be that the devil in his heart was even more intense than imagined?

Walking to Dragon Feather's side, the Divine Dragon Emperor stretched out his palm and placed it on Dragon Feather's shoulder, carefully examining him. Then, he withdrew his palm, his expression slightly sinking.

He looked at the Great Guardian and sighed:

"Great Guardian, about this matter..."

"What do you think should be done?"

"It's all up to Your Majesty."

The Great Guardian replied.

He knew that Dragon Feather had fallen too deeply into the demonic path and certainly couldn't be saved. Moreover, in the Borderlands, nearly a million people had died precisely because of Dragon Feather.

All of this required an explanation.

But this explanation involved the Divine Dragon Emperor's son, and what's more, he was once the most favored son.

He didn't want to get involved blindly.

And clearly, the Divine Dragon Emperor was also hesitant.

Although he had distanced himself from Dragon Feather, it was forced by circumstances, and it was only distancing. Dragon Feather could still live very well based on his status as a prince.

But now...

Given the trouble Dragon Feather had caused, if an explanation were to be given, it would definitely cost his life.

Did he really have to kill Dragon Feather?

The Divine Dragon Emperor was conflicted. Looking at Dragon Feather's ferocious appearance, he sighed slightly. He rubbed his forehead and looked at the Great Guardian again:

"Give me a suggestion.

No matter what it is, I won't blame you."

Hearing this, the Great Guardian smiled bitterly and hesitated slightly before speaking:

"Your Majesty, when this old man returned, I heard many things about the Ninth Prince..."

"Hmm?"

"The common people all want to get rid of the Ninth Prince quickly. After all, nearly a million common people in the Borderlands died tragically. Among them, the most tragic city was directly massacred.

Besides this, the Commander and Generals of the Borderlands have already collectively submitted a memorial. The memorial will reach Your Majesty's hands very soon."

The Great Guardian's tone was calm as he spoke about some things he had learned.

Hearing this, the Divine Dragon Emperor's brows furrowed slightly:

"Even the common people know?"

Although this matter wasn't kept secret, it concerned the royal family, and those who knew about it shouldn't have said much. Moreover, even if it spread, it wouldn't have spread this quickly.

Unless someone was fanning the flames.

"Almost all the common people in various places have learned about this, and in the rumors, the Ninth Prince is almost unforgivable..."

The Great Guardian said.

The Divine Dragon Emperor's face sank. He glanced at Dragon Feather, his expression flickering slightly, and he murmured:

"Is it Qin Jiang?"

Beside him, the Great Guardian was noncommittal and did not answer the Divine Dragon Emperor.

But the only one who could achieve this, besides the Divine Dragon Emperor himself, was Qin Jiang.

Thinking of this, the Divine Dragon Emperor let out a breath of turbid air. He still hadn't let Dragon Feather go.

Taking a deep breath, the Divine Dragon Emperor waved his hand:

"Take him down and lock him in the forbidden prison. At the same time, announce to the world that five days from now, I will personally supervise the execution of Dragon Feather!"

...

In the Void Divine Hall.

The Demon Hall Forefather's Seal was undone by Sword Yao, and her vast Aura instantly surged.

But very quickly, she restrained it.

Sword Yao kept a watchful eye on her, ready to kill her immediately if she dared to make any moves!

However, facing Sword Yao's vigilant gaze, the Demon Hall Forefather pouted:

"Fierce old woman, what are you looking at?"

"What did you call me?"

"Fierce old woman, is there a problem?"

"Try calling me that again and see if I don't Seal you up again!"

Sword Yao's beautiful eyes glared.

The Demon Hall Forefather smiled provocatively, then grabbed Qin Jiang's arm:

"Qin Jiang, look at her~"

Sword Yao: "..."

Qin Jiang's mouth also couldn't help but twitch. This Demon Hall Forefather was actually a little green tea.

Sword Yao stared with wide eyes at the Demon Hall Forefather's wronged appearance, a belly full of anger with nowhere to vent.

The Demon Hall Forefather looked at her smugly. Besides having a better figure than me, what other advantages do you have?

"Qin Jiang, from now on, let me protect you. I'll definitely be better than her!"

The Demon Hall Forefather's voice was soft and weak, overflowing with the scent of green tea.

Qin Jiang pinched her baby-faced little cheek:

"Be normal."

Saying that, he wrapped his arm around Sword Yao's waist and comforted her in time. Compared to the Demon Hall Forefather, he naturally trusted Sword Yao more.

Seeing this, the Demon Hall Forefather pouted her little mouth.

But she was still unconvinced.

However, she also knew that Qin Jiang wouldn't trust her too much in a short time.

She glanced at Sword Yao and then spoke:

"I'll go back to Cultivate first."

"Wait."

Qin Jiang called out to her. With a wave of his arm, he took out a wisp of the energy he had absorbed from the Myriad Realms Tower and sent it in front of the Demon Hall Forefather:

"Try this energy."

The Demon Hall Forefather carefully touched a bit and absorbed it into her body. Then, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately refined all of that wisp of energy.

She looked up at Qin Jiang:

"Do you have more of this energy?"

"How does it feel?"

"If there is enough of this energy, I can restore my Peak state in at most a month!"

Saying that, she glanced at Sword Yao:

"Stronger than her."

Sword Yao was about to retort but was stopped by Qin Jiang, who comforted her with a few words.

Only then did she let out a cold snort and stop paying attention to the Demon Hall Forefather.

"If you don't use this energy, how long will it take you?"

"At least three years.

Moreover, you have to provide me with a suitable environment, for example, massacre a city..."

After all, she was a demon cultivator, and her cultivation method was still very brutal.

Qin Jiang didn't care about this.

As long as it wasn't his own people, let alone a city, even if it was massacring a continent, Qin Jiang wouldn't have any burden.

It's just that...

"Three years..."

That's too long.

In a few days, he would be going to the Nine Heavens. It would be best if the Demon Hall Forefather could restore her Peak state. As for whether she would betray him, he wouldn't consider it for now.

After all, he still had a trump card.

If the Demon Hall Forefather really chose to betray him, at most he would waste some energy.

After a slight contemplation, Qin Jiang took out nearly half of the energy sealed within his body:

"Is this enough?"

The rich energy overflowed in all directions. The Demon Hall Forefather took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes bright, and she nodded repeatedly:

"Enough, enough."

She waved her small hand, sealing all the energy, and instantly absorbed it into her body.

Looking at Qin Jiang, she spoke:

"I'm going into seclusion first."

"Okay, if the energy isn't enough, come back and ask me for more."

"Alright~"

The Demon Hall Forefather smiled at Qin Jiang, and her figure flickered, disappearing directly from the spot.

At this time, Sword Yao held Qin Jiang's arm and looked in the direction where the Demon Hall Forefather disappeared, frowning and saying:

"You trust her so much?"

"I don't trust her, I trust you."

Qin Jiang smiled and put his arm around Sword Yao's waist:

"I believe you can protect me well."

"Smooth talker."

Sword Yao rolled her eyes at him and said with some worry:

"I'm afraid I'm not necessarily her match."

If it were just herself, she wouldn't be afraid of the Demon Hall Forefather, but she needed to protect Qin Jiang, so she had to be cautious.

Hearing this, Qin Jiang chuckled softly:

"Don't worry.

I'm confident."
