Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

The executioner raised his sword high, removed the execution warrant from Hengqing's neck, and swung his blade to strike.

Heng Qing closed her eyes, her gaze filled with a mixture of resentment and helplessness. It was too late. She had bet that Chen Jiu Si would make it in time, but now it seemed he wouldn't. She feared she would lose her life here today.

Thinking this, Hengqing sighed, tears streaming down her face. "Father, I ultimately failed to guide my brother onto the right path. He is destined to walk this road of no return."

Thinking of Heng Qing, Ren Feng sighed deeply. At that moment, on the high platform, Ren Feng saw tears sliding down Heng Qing's cheeks. For some reason, his heart clenched, but he shook his head. Now was not the time to think about these things. Those sentimental feelings and useless emotions were really not important. What was important was to fight their way out. Fighting their way out would lead the Immortal Clan to a bigger world, so they wouldn't be trapped in this tiny place.

Thinking of this, Ren Feng became even more determined. Killing his sister today was not for seizing power, but for the resurgence of the entire Immortal Clan. For the sake of the Immortal Clan, everything he had done was forgivable.

Having made up his mind, Ren Feng made up his mind and waved his hand: "Kill!"

The executioner suddenly brought his large cleaver down, aiming straight for Heng Qing's neck. With this strike, Heng Qing's neck would instantly be severed and sent flying.

Seeing this, Ren Feng closed his eyes: "Goodbye, my sister!"

The audience below also turned to look at this scene. The public killing of the Little Immortal Venerable was an unprecedented blow to the entire Immortal Clan. The Immortal Clan members stared wide-eyed at everything before them.

Not far away, the Eastern King watched this scene with a slight change in expression. With this strike, there would truly be no turning back for him. Recalling his past friendship with the Old Immortal Venerable, the Eastern King sighed at how difficult it had been.

His relationship with the Old Immortal Venerable should be that of a student and a teacher. Back then, he was the most inconspicuous little beggar in the immortal race. His parents had died early, and he could only beg on the streets to make a living. He never expected to meet the Old Immortal Venerable.

At that time, the old immortal was in high spirits, at the height of his life. How majestic he was! He was ambitious, and he told himself that the immortal race could not be confined in this cage.

At that time, I was his most loyal fan.

He learned martial arts from him and risked his life alongside him, all to fulfill the promise they had made: to lead the immortal race out of the immortal realm and dominate the outside world. Back then, he would have died for the old immortal venerable without hesitation; he was fanatical.

He felt that the old immortal was his role model for life, and he was willing to give everything for the old immortal and make efforts for the great immortal realm plan proposed by the old immortal.

But he never imagined that in the end, it would be the old immortal himself who betrayed his own class.

He had transformed from a powerful ruler who proposed the Great Immortal Realm Plan into a mediocre ruler who only knew how to cower and defend, completely shattering the faith of the Eastern King and leading him to deeply hate the Old Immortal Venerable.

All of this changed when the old immortal lord first came out of the mountain. He had other important matters to attend to and did not come along, so he did not know what had happened. However, after the old immortal lord returned, he never mentioned the idea of ​​leading troops out of Kunlun again.

Later, after some subtle questioning, he finally figured out some things. It is said that the old immortal went to Wudang Mountain once, and after coming down from Wudang Mountain, the old immortal changed completely.

He didn't know what had happened to the old immortal, but he absolutely wouldn't allow the old immortal to betray his ideals.

It was your plan, Old Immortal Venerable, to bring the Immortal Realm out of Kunlun's small territory, and you were the first to abandon it. How could such a thing happen? Therefore, in the eyes of the Eastern King, Old Immortal Venerable is a traitor, which is why he retaliated in this way, even to the point of fighting to the death with Old Immortal Venerable.

Today, we must even place the old immortal here and put him on the pillar of shame for being cowardly and timid. At the same time, we must also behead Heng Qing, who supports the old immortal's policies. Only in this way can we relieve his hatred.

Looking at the raised ghost-headed broadsword and the closed-eye waiting-for-death Heng Qing, the Eastern King felt relieved. Let bygones be bygones.

After today, I will do something even greater. Let these past events be sealed away on the pillar of shame of the Immortal Clan, just like the old Immortal Venerable. In the future history of the Immortal Clan, there will only be one account: I, the Eastern King, led the entire Immortal Clan out of the prison, unified the outside world, became the ruling king, and completed the Great Immortal Realm Plan.

How wonderful!
The Eastern King looked up at the sky, feeling somewhat moved. His life had truly been difficult. While everyone else was thinking about living a peaceful life in the fairy realm, he was the only one who overcame numerous difficulties and won this victory.

I, Jiang Yuan, will be the greatest person in the history of the Fairy Realm.

As Jiang Yuan was feeling smug, a voice suddenly echoed throughout the entire venue.

"Report..."

Upon hearing this announcement, everyone paused for a moment, including the executioner who was holding up the ghost-headed sword. The Eastern King was also drawn by the announcement and frowned.

At this moment, seeing the messenger running towards him, he frowned slightly. He didn't know what could have made the messenger so anxious.

Thinking this, the messenger ran from afar to the Eastern King, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Master, something terrible has happened."

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King frowned and looked at the messenger, saying, "When did things get so chaotic?"

"King Qi is dead!"

what!
The Eastern King had initially seemed confident of victory, but upon hearing the messenger's words, he panicked.

Upon hearing this, the people around immediately erupted in an uproar and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder, sitting to the right of the Eastern King, immediately smiled, his eyes revealing a certain determination. It seems that this time, I did not bet on the wrong horse.

With that in mind, he began to remain calm and composed.

Meanwhile, many of the audience members below panicked: "This is terrifying! King Qi, is that the outsider that the Eastern King invited back? I heard he was very strong and not much weaker than the Eastern King. How could such a powerful person die like this? Who, who did this?"

"Yes, King Qi was someone the Eastern King placed great hopes on. It is said that after we left Kunlun, King Qi became our biggest ally. Now that our ally has died in battle, won't we be completely lost once we leave Kunlun?"

"Yes, what are we going to do? Is our plan going to be stillborn before it even starts?!"

Thinking this way, the discussions among the people of the Immortal Realm intensified, and they all spoke of a very passive situation, showing that the people of the Immortal Realm's desire to leave seclusion had been greatly diminished.

The Eastern King could clearly sense the distrust in the people's discussions. The fervor from before was gradually fading. People have a herd mentality, and the people of the Immortal Realm are no exception. Therefore, when things changed...

They were initially very excited, eager to rush out and kill everyone outside, but that drive vanished instantly, replaced by negativity.

The Eastern King keenly sensed everything, his brow furrowing as he knew he absolutely could not allow things to continue to deteriorate.

He glared at the soldier and roared, "How dare you! You dare to lie about military intelligence and disrupt the morale of our troops! Your crime is unforgivable!" The Eastern King's roar startled the soldier, who looked up at him and stammered, "Your Highness, I didn't, I didn't..."

"Drag him away and kill him!"

"Ah, Your Highness, I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"

The Eastern King's face was extremely grim. He turned to the Grand Elder and whispered, "Grand Elder, things have probably changed. I need your help!"

The elder then smiled and said, "Hehe, Your Highness, rest assured, I will always stand by your side in the face of such trivial matters."

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King said, "Thank you, Elder."

This was Dong Wang's inner calculation. He believed that Qi Wang's death was most likely caused by Chen Jiu Si, and Qi Wang's strength was probably comparable to his own. If this man could kill Qi Wang, he might be able to kill him as well. Even if he had a few ways to save his life, he couldn't guarantee that they would work.

Therefore, it is essential to find a helper at this time, and the Grand Elder is clearly a good helper.

But Chen Jiu Si didn't come here directly, so where could he have gone?

The Eastern King's mind raced, and he immediately realized what had happened. His gaze sharpened, and he knew without asking where they had gone—they must have gone to the Heavenly Prison to rescue the Western King. This Chen Jiu Si was a clever man; with that old woman's help, his situation had become even more difficult. Even with the Grand Elder present, it would probably be hard to turn the tide of the battle.

However, I have a winning card here!
The Eastern King's eyes were fixed on the ghost-headed blade that had not yet fallen from the high platform, and on Heng Qing beneath it.

The Western King is a staunch confidant of the Old Immortal Venerable, and the position of Immortal Venerable can only be inherited by the Old Immortal Venerable's descendants. In other words, apart from Heng Qing, only Ren Feng has the right to inherit, and no one else has any right to inherit from the Western King.

In other words, as long as he can kill Heng Qing, Ren Feng will inevitably take the throne. So, he can be careless about this and that, and the rest can be discussed.

The best course of action now is to kill Heng Qing immediately.

Thinking of this, the Eastern King immediately raised his hand and said, "That was just a minor incident, everyone please don't mind it. The ceremony will continue, let's continue the execution!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the Eastern King, then at Heng Qing. Heng Qing's face was flushed as she looked at the Eastern King and said, "Jiang Yuan, your end has come! Hahaha, even if you kill me today, you will never be able to erase the record of your wolfish ambition. Remember, I, Heng Qing, the Little Immortal Venerable of the Immortal Realm, died at the hands of the traitor Jiang Yuan."

"All the people of the Immortal Realm remember this: Jiang Yuan is a traitorous villain!"

Heng Qing laughed loudly, while the Eastern King's face grew even more ashen. He stared intently at Heng Qing and said, "Hmph, no matter what, you will die by my hand today!"

Upon hearing this, Heng Qing looked at the Eastern King and said, "When I went out this time, Brother Chen taught me a poem: 'Since ancient times, who has ever escaped death? Let my loyal heart shine in history!'"

The Eastern King gritted his teeth and said, "Have you finished your nonsense? Execute me!"

The executioner gritted his teeth and suddenly swung his large sword down. The huge ghost-headed blade spun in the air and was about to strike Hengqing's tender white neck.

"stop!"

Just then, a sharp shout rang out, immediately drawing everyone's attention. At the same time, a powerful attack wave slammed into the executioner. The executioner was struck so hard that he was sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground with a thud.

Upon seeing this scene, the Eastern King suddenly turned his head and saw a woman dressed in prison clothes appear on the scene. At this moment, the people saw the woman and said, "Western King, it is His Highness the Western King!"

The people were in an uproar, knowing that the Western King's status in the entire Immortal Realm was in no way inferior to that of the Eastern King.

Therefore, as soon as the Western King appeared, the people's emotions, which had been swayed by the Eastern King, instantly returned to normal.

The Eastern King then suddenly looked at the Western King, gritting his teeth and saying, "Old woman, you ruined my plans!"

The Western King then looked at the Eastern King and said, "Old man, you actually dared to kill Heng Qing? I underestimated you. Is your heart made of iron? If it weren't for the old immortal taking you in, you would be a beggar! You wouldn't even know where you died."

Upon hearing this, the Eastern King looked at the Western King and said, "Yes, I am a beggar. I was saved by the Old Immortal. I was once a follower of the Old Immortal. He was once a god in my heart."

"But he betrayed his own beliefs. He proposed the Great Immortal Realm Plan, but he destroyed it with his own hands. Why do you still support someone like him who has no beginning and no end?"

"He is a traitor to Fairyland!"

The Eastern King spoke in a cold voice, and the Western King replied, "I know that incident had a great impact on you, but the Old Immortal Venerable also had his reasons. You don't know what the Old Immortal Venerable saw when he went up Wudang Mountain that time!"

The Western King's voice trembled as he recalled that terrifying scene from back then. She and the Old Immortal Venerable were once incredibly arrogant and domineering, much like the Eastern King today.

At that time, the old immortal said that the first thing to do if they wanted to conquer the outside world was to make the strongest people in the world serve as their dogs, and the first thing to do was to defeat the strongest person in the world at that time.

So they inquired about who the strongest person in the world was, and at that time, the entire martial arts world spoke of one name: Zhang Sanfeng.

Upon hearing this, they went directly to Wudang Mountain, ostensibly for friendly contact, but in reality, they intended to thwart Zhang Sanfeng.

result……

At this point, Xi Wang trembled all over, recalling the scene when he first met Zhang Sanfeng. In just one glance, there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood! It was an endless abyss. In his eyes, the two of them were no different from lambs to the slaughter!
Since that incident, the old immortal has never mentioned expanding into the outside world again. After returning, he stayed obediently in the immortal realm, guarding his small plot of land.

That's terrifying, that's terrifying.

The Western King shuddered at the thought.

Actually, they were just unlucky. When they came to cause trouble, it happened to be the late stage of Zhang Sanfeng's Jiazi Demon-Slaying Ceremony, which was also when Zhang's murderous aura was at its peak.

So, just one glance was enough to frighten the old immortal so much that he never dared to mention the matter of breaking out of the immortal realm again. (End of this chapter)
