After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

"Lin Fan, the last son of the Prince of Zhennan, has unexpectedly fallen to the point of being a gatekeeper here. The Prince of Zhennan once killed many members of my clan."

"Today you shall atone for his sins."

The seven barbarians said that although they sensed something was wrong, they did not take it to heart.

What is there for a scholar to fear?

A barbarian stepped forward, his large, fan-like hand reaching out to grab Lin Fan, while the other six barbarians watched the scene with a mocking and cold expression.

Lin Fan watched this scene calmly, without even the slightest ripple in his eyes.

The barbarian's expression changed drastically when he got within three feet of Lin Fan, and then his face was filled with terror.

"you……"

As if time had stopped, the barbarian's hand paused in front of Lin Fan, a gust of wind blew by, and like a wisp of sand, the whole person vanished.

"What?!"

The six barbarians behind him looked horrified.

Looking up at the young man on the steps again, a deep fear appeared in his eyes.

That was a barbarian at the Divine Platform Realm, yet he was killed without even a shred of resistance, his body and soul annihilated.

How strong must he be?

The Realm of Creation?

Celestial Realm?

Or perhaps it's the Dao-Slaying Realm?

As for the Saint Realm, they dared not even think about it. Saints were the oldest and most powerful beings of a great clan, long extinct in the world, and would not easily appear except in a war of annihilation.

Isn't he someone who doesn't practice spiritual cultivation and only reads books?

"escape!"

The six barbarians exchanged glances, and without the slightest hesitation, retreated together out of the courtyard.

As soon as they moved, they felt an unimaginable force seal off this void, causing them to freeze in mid-air.

"Now that we're here, shouldn't we take a look around a bit more?"

Lin Fan's voice came from behind, and they felt their whole bodies tremble.

Turning around, the young man was still quietly watching them, but the feeling was completely different from before.

Those eyes seemed to contain an abyss, threatening to devour them all.

"Bang!"

With a soft sound, a barbarian was instantly reduced to ashes.

"No, spare me!"

The remaining five barbarians immediately knelt down. Lin Fan extended a finger and tapped it slightly. Flames ignited on one of the barbarians, and he was reduced to ashes in an instant.

"The pear tree by the door was lacking nutrients, so your arrival is just in time."

Lin Fan said, waving his hand, and the ashes and remnants left by the barbarians flew out of the courtyard and landed under the pear tree.

"Bang!"

again.

The remaining three barbarians finally collapsed, and together they charged at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan merely raised his eyes, and the three barbarians were instantly horrified. They saw a terrifying phenomenon in Lin Fan's eyes, and a horrifying thought immediately arose in their hearts.

"You are... a saint!"

The words had already turned to ashes and scattered under the tree outside the door when they were spoken.

Seven barbarian tribesmen who could stir up trouble in the Tang capital died just like that.

"It's time for some peace and quiet."

Lin Fan said, glanced outside the courtyard gate, and then returned to the library.

Just as Lin Fan finished speaking, all the alien races in Tangdu felt a tightness in their chests and looked up at the sky and earth, where a figure appeared in their minds.

At the top of the seven steps, a young man holding a book stood.

One glance and it's eternity.

The next moment, all their souls were annihilated.

With a single glance, he slaughtered all the alien races in the city.

The library returned to calm, with only the occasional sound of pages turning, but the entire Tang capital and even Qingzhou were plunged into a tremendous upheaval.

The Emperor of Tang Dynasty has fallen!

The news quickly spread from Tangdu, throughout Qingzhou, and even to other continents of the human race.

"Li Yu, the son of the Emperor, ascended the throne and continued the lineage of the Qingzhou people."

It was not the five sons of the royal family that were widely rumored in Qingzhou, but a person of little renown, yet he was the only descendant of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

After the five princes left the capital, the Tang Dynasty entered a new chapter.

Three more years have passed in a flurry of activity.

The Yuwen family mansion!

Surrounded by clear waters and rock gardens, melodious zither music flows from the pavilion. A woman in green sits in the stone pavilion, playing the zither. Her face is veiled by a light gauze, but it cannot conceal her stunning beauty that surpasses all others.

"Sister Qin Ge's zither playing is getting better and better, and more and more men from the capital are coming to visit. I just don't know who will win Sister Qin Ge's heart."

In the long corridor, a man and a woman were watching the woman in the stone pavilion.

The woman was young, and she looked at the woman in the stone pavilion with undisguised excitement. She then glanced at the young man beside her, a sly glint in her eyes.

She was Yuwen Nanyue, the eldest daughter of the Yuwen family, and Qin Ge was her study companion.

The young man looked at the woman in the stone pavilion, making no attempt to hide the admiration in his eyes.

"Xiaoyue, don't talk nonsense. Miss Qin Ge doesn't have those thoughts."

The young man said that he was unconsciously immersed in the rising and falling piano music, and his eyes showed a bit of infatuation.

Yuwen Nanyue shook her head slightly as she watched this scene.

Anyone could see that her brother liked Qin Ge. If it were just an ordinary study companion, she could play matchmaker. But Qin Ge was different.

Qin Ge grew up with her and had long developed feelings for her.

Another reason is Qin Ge's brother.

Qin Ming is a prominent figure in Tangdu today, a prodigy.

At nineteen years old, he had already reached the eighth level of the Core Formation Realm. He was the most monstrous genius in Tangdu in recent years and had already entered the Great Tang National Academy. On the day he entered the academy, several ancient beings at the Creation Realm even appeared to take him as a disciple.

However, he ultimately refused them all.

"I have a master now."

That was his answer.

Later, someone investigated the origins of Qin Ming and Qin Ge. They were refugees who had come from a noble family, but there was no record of them having taken anyone as their master.

Some people said that Qin Ming was too arrogant, even refusing to accept a disciple from the Venerable Creation Master of the National Academy.

However, those Venerable Creators were not angered by this; on the contrary, they were even more delighted with him, regarding him as the future hope of the National Academy.

If anyone has designs on Qin Ge, the first person they'll have to face is this prodigy.

"My brother is no less impressive. At least I've never seen Sister Qin Ge say anything to other men. She treats you differently."

Yuwen Nanyue said.

Thinking of Qin Ge's personality, he shook his head slightly.

It's definitely different. It's just a few more words. It's always lukewarm. Apart from her, everyone else in the Yuwen family is pretty much the same.

Yuwen Hua could only smile wryly upon hearing this.

"A woman like Miss Qin Ge would not easily fall in love with someone. I, Yuwen Hua, am just a scion of a noble family and have not yet made any achievements."

"When I achieve fame and success, I will naturally come to your door to ask for your hand in marriage."

Yuwen Hua said, looking at the woman in the stone pavilion with a gleam in his eyes.

Yuwen Nanyue looked at him, hesitant to speak, but did not interrupt him.

"The barbarian army from the southern border has come to our gates. His Majesty has ordered my Yuwen family to lead the troops into battle. I have already spoken to my father and will go to war with the army."

"My father is waiting for me, I'll go first."

Yuwen Hua said, taking one last deep look at the woman in the stone pavilion before turning and leaving.

Yuwen Nanyue stared at his retreating figure, slightly stunned.

Is my brother also going to war?

Since the fall of the Human Emperor three years ago, the war in Qingzhou has never stopped, but this is the first time that aristocratic scions like them have gone to the battlefield. Has the situation in Qingzhou really come to this?

But what my brother said—that he would come back victorious one day to marry me—is that really possible?

She looked at Qin Ge.

He shook his head slightly.

She felt that Sister Qin Ge probably already had someone she liked, but she didn't know who that person was.
