Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 468

Chapter 468: Chapter 470 The Road to Ruin [3/5]

Beiming Fenghua wanted to be an empress like Wu Zetian. Now, while Yin Fengxue was unguarded, she struck with the speed of lightning!

BOOM!

Taken completely by surprise, Yin Fengxue was sent flying backward. He slammed hard onto the ground, vomiting blood.

"You... why..." After so many years together, it would be a lie to say Yin Fengxue felt nothing for Beiming Fenghua—a lie he couldn’t even tell himself.

"Why? You don’t understand me," she said. "I do love you, that’s true. But compared to the pursuit of an empire, you carry far too little weight."

A chilling smile touched Beiming Fenghua’s beautiful lips as she recalled something. "When I was very young, my parents hoped for a son, so they dressed me as a boy. At that time, a master from the Ghost Valley School said of me, ’What a pity he is a boy. If he were not, he would become the ruler of the world!’ Isn’t that exactly the same as Yuan Tiangang’s prediction for Wu Zetian?

"I never thought I would become your wife. Gradually, I began to believe the words of that Ghost Valley master. Under my leadership, the Heavenly Demon Palace can reach its absolute zenith!"

Ambition burned in Beiming Fenghua’s eyes. Her heart ached for treating Yin Fengxue this way, but when faced with a choice between love and a career, many people give different answers. Beiming Fenghua chose her career.

She looked at Yin Fengxue’s devastated state, a pang of pain in her heart, but she felt no regret. This is the burden a queen must bear. Wu Zetian must have felt this same pain. Perhaps this is a sorrow that only male consorts can soothe.

"Dad!" Lin Fa had never been willing to call Yin Fengxue "dad," but seeing this tragic and desolate scene, he finally cried out the word.

"Go! Get out of here!" Yin Fengxue shouted at Lin Fa.

"No one is leaving today!" Beiming Fenghua said coldly. "Seize this bastard! I am the ruler of the Heavenly Demon Palace now. Are you all going to disobey my orders?"

At that moment, everyone snapped to their senses. They shuddered at the realization that the Queen, for the sake of her so-called ambitions, was willing to harm her own husband. Regaining their composure, they charged toward Lin Fa. How could he possibly escape from a group of Immortal Seekers? He was captured in an instant.

"You... all of you will meet a terrible end!" Lin Fa roared in anger. "Wu Tian is my boss, and once he learns of this, you are all dead!"

"Oh? You have such a close relationship with Wu Tian?" Beiming Fenghua mused, realizing she could gain some advantage from this. "Don’t kill him. Capture him. We can use him to threaten Wu Tian. If we play our cards right, the Righteous Alliance might even let us become an affiliate."

Beiming Fenghua stood with her hands clasped behind her back, exuding a truly queenly aura. Her ambition was boundless. How could she be content as a mere affiliate of the Righteous Alliance? If given the chance, she would devour the Alliance step by step, even if it cost her body. To her, the pursuit of an empire was the highest priority!

Coming back to her senses, she waved a hand. "Take the father and son away. Don’t torture them to death; they are still of some use to me."

"Yes!"

Her subordinates nodded and immediately escorted Yin Fengxue and Lin Fa away. The twenty percent of members who were still loyal to Yin Fengxue wanted to intervene, but as he was being taken away, Yin Fengxue gave them a subtle look, signaling them to endure and wait for the right moment.

「High noon.」

Wu Tian, the little one, and Qin Yuhan were making their leisurely way back to Peach Blossom Spring. Their journey was slow because Wu Tian had taken several detours to absorb Spiritual Energy, with the little one gleefully imitating him. This, of course, caused great distress among the local powers. Without Spiritual Energy, how could they cultivate Yuan Energy? How could they extend their lives? How could they ever achieve immortality?

Wu Tian held the little one, who was giggling happily. Her cultivation was progressing rapidly. In terms of power, she was already comparable to the Foundation Establishment realm of Cultivation. The little one’s innate talent was one reason, but the power of the Wind and Cloud Overbearing Scripture was another.

Immortal Seekers came and went on the streets. Some people with poor Spirit Roots, or none at all, had set up businesses in the Underground World, so the streets were still lined with small stalls. The chatter of nearby Immortal Seekers soon caught the attention of Wu Tian and his companions.
