98: Chapter 98 The Empress’s Husband?

At the next moment,

he was completely sent flying by that blood-colored Sword Energy.

Upon screaming, the already grievously injured Blood Demon, due to Little Jin’s Fourth-stage Array Formation, was undoubtedly even more injured.

Looking into Lin Yi’s eyes, he was now filled with terror!

If Lin Yi had relied on the Fourth-stage Array Formation’s power to inflict heavy damage the first time, just now, Lin Yi had done so using his own strength!

At this moment, he, as a True Master, for the first time felt panic towards a mere Martial Artist of the Spirit Transformation Realm!

“Blood Demon, take another sword from me!”

Lin Yi roared, his spirits soaring as if he was ready to strike again with his sword.

The Blood Demon was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body.

He turned around, not daring to look back, and fled with all his might!

Watching the fleeing Blood Demon, Lin Yi’s face visibly paled at a visible rate.

He collapsed, sitting on the ground exhausted.

The move Blood Qi Condensed Sword had exhausted all of Lin Yi’s energy.

If the Blood Demon had not been scared away, Lin Yi might have perished!

He immediately swallowed an Elixir Pill that replenished Blood energy, refined it right there, and began to recuperate his breath.

However, this scene was clearly witnessed by everyone at the Talent Night Banquet!

A well-known True Master with a notorious reputation in Yun Country was actually scared away by Lin Yi.

He scrambled and fled from the Imperial Palace.

“What a pity!”

“If Lin Xiu had been a bit more ruthless, perhaps he could have killed the Blood Demon and created a myth!”

A Yun Country Heavenly Pride spoke with a face full of regret.

A young man from the Spirit Transformation Realm slaying a long-renowned True Master!

If Lin Yi had truly achieved such an absurd feat, perhaps those ancient sects of the Eastern Domain would have been alarmed and sent someone to recruit Lin Yi into their fold?

“Brother Lin actually scared away a True Master?

If it were me, I could brag about it for a lifetime!”

Bai Xiu swallowed hard; after just a short separation from Lin Yi, he barely recognized him anymore!

Is this fierce man really the same person who joined the Holy Mansion with him?

“Blood Demon, this useless thing, actually got scared off by a junior?”

Seeing that the Blood Demon had outright abandoned him, his master, and ran away, Great General Cao Kun’s face instantly turned extremely ugly.

The Blood Demon was a trump card he had kept close to himself, a killer move!

This coup was, having the presence of a True Master like the Blood Demon, his side held an absolute advantage!

But now, that advantage was gone!

Even several of the Yun Country ministers who were originally on his side were now casting their allegiance to Emperor Yun Yi!

They switched sides on the spot!

“Ha ha, Cao Zei, this is heaven wanting to destroy you!”

Emperor Yun Yi was ecstatic.

The moment Blood Demon appeared, he thought he was doomed, but he never expected the situation to turn around so drastically—a Lin Xiu defeated the Blood Demon and reversed the situation!

“Your power is already lost; if you surrender, I can spare your life and grant you lifelong house arrest!”

“Surrender?”

Cao Kun sneered, “Are you even worthy?”

After saying that, Cao Kun suddenly took out a blood-colored elixir and swallowed it!

In the next instant, his aura explosively increased, emitting an astonishingly murderous aura!

He sent Marquis Zhenbei flying with one palm and, in a flash, appeared in front of Emperor Yun Yi, capturing him!

“Anyone who dares to move, I’ll kill this kid!”

“Cao Kun, do you dare commit regicide?”

Princess YunXi and Marquis Zhenbei, among others, all changed color, who could have anticipated that at this critical moment, Cao Kun would still have the power to turn the tables?

Unexpectedly, Cao Kun wore a look of madness, “Ha ha, what of regicide?

You all killed my son, now I will kill whoever I want to kill!”

“Marquis Zhenbei!

Have your men lay down their weapons, or I’ll kill Yun Yi!”

“Put down your weapons?”

Marquis Zhenbei’s expression changed.

Wouldn’t that make them sitting ducks, at the mercy of others?

But if they did not put them down, it was likely that Emperor Yun Yi of Yun Country would surely die.

“Yunxi, Yun Country is now in your hands!”

Just as Marquis Zhenbei was caught in a dilemma, a resolute look suddenly flashed across Emperor Yun Yi’s eyes!

Hearing this, Princess Yunxi was still somewhat confused.

What did her brother mean by that?

Unfortunately, before she could understand, an ancient Blood Seal emerged on Emperor Yun Yi’s brow!

At the same time, his aura became wildly agitated!

With a crazed look on his face, Emperor Yun Yi said, “Cao Kun, to die alongside me, you should be content!”

“Boom!”

Cao Kun’s expression drastically changed as he immediately struck Emperor Yun Yi’s back with his palm, but it was too late—the body of Emperor Yun Yi exploded in an instant!

Cao Kun’s body was blasted away!

Severely injured in an instant!

“Brother!”

Princess Yunxi collapsed to the ground, drained.

To defeat Cao Kun, Emperor Yun Yi had resorted to self-destruction!

This outcome was utterly unexpected by Cao Kun; this young man truly had the guts!

“Flee!”

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, although Cao Kun tried to struggle, he was beheaded with a single sword stroke by Marquis Zhenbei!

Marquis Zhenbei held up Cao Kun’s head and shouted sternly towards Cao Kun’s followers: “Cao Zei is dead!”

Seeing the severed head of Great General Cao Kun.

Those who had been fighting for Cao Kun dropped their weapons one by one, choosing to surrender.

With their master dead, what was the point of continuing the fight?

“His Majesty unfortunately perished; before his demise, he passed the title to Princess Yunxi.

From now on, Princess Yunxi is the Empress of Yun Country!”

Marquis Zhenbei announced to everyone on the spot.

Even Lin Yi couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Who would have thought that today’s turmoil would bring such a drastic change to the court of Yun Country, with both Great General Cao Kun and Emperor Yun Yi dying, and Princess Yunxi becoming the Empress of Yun Country!

Truly, the world is unpredictable!

“Fourth Brother, congratulations to you!”

Just then, Bai Xiu suddenly walked over from behind.

“Congratulations to me?”

Lin Yi paused, “What is there to be happy about?”

“Don’t play dumb,”

Bai Xiu looked at Lin Yi with a smiling expression, “You’re the star of the Talent Night Banquet and a major contributor to this political upheaval.

The position of Prince Consort is rightfully yours—no, now that Princess Yunxi has become Empress, you are to be the spouse of the Empress!”

“Absolutely, the spouse of the Empress of Yun Country—that’s even better than being the Prince Consort of Shi Country!”

Little Jin also chimed in with the mood.

“I’m leaving!”

After his expression changed dramatically, Lin Yi prepared to flee; he really didn’t want to be left behind to be the spouse of the Empress!

“If the Empress of Yun Country asks, just say you haven’t seen me.”

“Brother Lin, are you just going to run off?

Don’t you still need to borrow troops to return to Shi Country?”

Bai Xiu asked.

“For such a small matter, I still need to show up?

What use are you?”

After glaring at Bai Xiu, Lin Yi said, “Xiu’er, the matter of borrowing troops from Yun Country is now in your hands!”

With that, Lin Yi quietly left the Imperial Palace.

Watching Lin Yi silently depart, Bai Xiu shook his head and sighed, “To reject such a beautiful and enchanting Empress, people who don’t know might think you’re impotent, Third Brother.”

“You really know how to slip away, but I’m afraid Princess Yunxi won’t easily let this go…”
