The Emperor Has Died!

Upon hearing the message conveyed by the trembling eunuch kneeling below, the old emperor Lin Huan of the Heavenly Qilin Empire suddenly went black.

Lin Feng is dead.

The Heavenly Qilin Empire has lost another Dou Emperor. How will they survive from now on?

Their Heavenly Qilin Empire only has four Dou Emperor, one of whom is stationed on the border.

After Lin Feng's death, besides Lin Huan, the only other person in Heavenly Qilin City was the dying old man Lin Can.

That old guy was one of the people who tried to refine the Qilin's body, but not long after absorbing a piece of Qilin Bone, he began to exhibit various abnormal behaviors.

In order to save himself, Lin Can dug the Qilin Bone out of his body, which saved his life.

But precisely because of this, Lin Can's lifespan was drastically reduced. Despite his aged appearance, he was actually only in his forties.

Based on this calculation, in the entire Heavenly Qilin Empire, only Lin Huan and the one on the border still possess the combat power of Dou Emperor.

Lin Can's only purpose now is to unlock the Qilin Blood Pool for the Imperial Family family members.

"Is this your revenge...?"

After waving his hand to dismiss the eunuchs, the old emperor Lin Huan immediately covered his head, veins bulging on his forehead.

His once clear eyes suddenly turned bloodshot, and he occasionally let out a low, beast-like growl.

"But those who made that decision back then are all dead by now! How many more people do you want to kill before you stop?"

Over the years, Lin Huan has been trying to communicate with the remnant soul of the Qilin, but each time, it has been in vain.

"... You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences?! Do you really think I can't control you?!"

With no other option, Lin Huan forced himself to stand up, formed a few hand seals, and then slapped his forehead hard.

The resentment emanating from the Qilin finally subsided, and Lin Huan's mental state became even more listless after that palm strike.

"No... we have to call him back right away."

After a moment of contemplation, Lin Huan decided to call back the Dou Emperor who was guarding the border.

Lin Huan knew very well that, given his and Lin Can's current state, any two Dou Emperor could easily overturn Heavenly Qilin City!

While they can still hold on for a while, we need to make everything clear beforehand.

That guy on the border is the only one among them who cultivated to the Dou Huang Realm without relying on the Qilin Power, and he's even Seven-Star Dou Emperor.

"Hmm..."

But just as Lin Huan was about to call for help, a sharp pain surged into his brain, causing him to suddenly lose consciousness.

It's quite crisp.

Just after Lin Huan collapsed, Qin Yu emerged from the corner of the room.

"Good heavens, this remnant soul of the Qilin is quite powerful; it made the old emperor faint from the pain."

Looking at the old emperor who had fainted on the ground, Qin Yu couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Even though he's old, Lin Huan is still a Peak Dou Emperor expert.

The Qilin was truly formidable to have tormented Lin Huan into this grotesque state solely through the resentment within its remnant soul.

"What a tragedy!"

Qin Yu slowly approached the unconscious Lin Huan, and a sharp blade formed from Metal-Attribute Battle Qi suddenly appeared on his arm.

With a "whoosh," the sharp blade sliced through Lin Huan's throat, ending his life.

Qin Yu swore that there was no simpler assassination than this.

The difficulty is comparable to picking food into a bowl while eating.

"Alright, we've got everything."

After Lin Huan died, the Qilin's horn and eyes automatically detached from his body and came to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu carefully put the two items away and then quickly headed to the location of the Qilin Blood Pool.

Although Lin Can was not present this time, the remnant soul of the Qilin in the Blood Pool sensed the arrival of its last remaining body and immediately destroyed the seal, opening the gate to the Blood Pool.

After Qin Yu entered the gate, the phantom of the Qilin in the Blood Pool was already eagerly waiting.

Just as the Qilin destroyed the seal on the Blood Pool, Lin Can sensed it and quickly arrived at the gate of the Blood Pool.

No matter how hard he tried, the gate to the Blood Pool remained tightly shut.

Sensing that something was terribly wrong, he immediately went to find Lin Huan.

"Big... Big Brother!"

However, when Lin Can arrived at Lin Huan's study, all he saw was a corpse with its throat cut.

In an instant, a chill enveloped his entire body.

Lin Huan was clearly killed in a single blow, but among the nearby empires, Lin Can couldn't think of anyone who could have done it.

so...

It's the remnant soul of that Qilin causing trouble!

Considering that the seal on the Blood Pool had just been destroyed, Lin Can was almost certain that an outsider coveting the Qilin Inheritance had infiltrated the palace.

Moreover, this outsider has most likely already reached an agreement with the remnant soul of that Qilin.

"Quickly, someone come here!"

Lin Can shouted, and the first to enter were the eunuchs who had been waiting outside.

"His Majesty... His Majesty has passed away!"

The news of Lin Huan's death spread throughout the entire palace within minutes, and then from the palace into Heavenly Qilin City.

"No way, he's really dead?"

"Who knows? It wouldn't be surprising if they died, considering they did such a blasphemous thing in the first place."

"Sigh, the Heavenly Qilin Empire is finished. Let's pack our things and run."

However, most of the residents of Heavenly Qilin City remained indifferent to Lin Huan's death, and many even began packing their bags, preparing to leave.

Yun Yun, who had been outside the city, also noticed the strange occurrences in Heavenly Qilin City.

Given that no conflict had broken out in the city yet, Yun Yun suppressed her urge to go and provide support.

In less than half a day, Heavenly Qilin City was in complete chaos.

However, everyone in the palace was gathered around the Qilin Blood Pool, trying their best to open Blood Pool.

"No... no, this must be the remnant soul of that Qilin, with a new seal placed inside."

"Why don't we join forces and raze this place to the ground?"

"What about the palace? If this place is razed to the ground, the palace will be affected too!"

"Then what do you suggest we do? Are we just going to watch the Qilin's legacy be taken away by an outsider?"

Listening to the chattering around him, Lin Can felt utterly overwhelmed.

"Alright! Shut up, all of you!"

As the only Dou Emperor currently in existence, Lin Can's words still carry weight.

"Call Lin Yan back first."

With Lin Feng and Lin Huan dying one after another, the Heavenly Qilin Empire now only has Lin Yan left who still has any fighting power.

Even if Lin Yan had conflicts with them in the past, he would probably still come back in the face of this situation.

"So what should we do in the next few days?"

"Just wait and see, and while you're at it, try to calm the hearts of the city's residents."

Lin Can's words caused everyone around him to sigh helplessly.

There's no other way now, so we'll just have to wait.

At this moment, Qin Yu had already thrown the Qilin's claws, horns, and eyes back into the Blood Pool.

I've kept my promise to you, and I hope you'll keep it.

"Don't worry, even if it weren't for anything else, just for those two Heavenly Flames in your body, I wouldn't go back on my word."
