Chapter 1221, Torture
The old soldier's cheer immediately caught the attention of the others.
Countless enraged soldiers of the Unmoving City of Darkness looked up at the same time, and similarly cheered at the sight of the scene.
And when the figures appeared in the void, Wang Jianru’s heart finally relaxed back into her chest.
In truth, although furious and deeply worried because of Shen Lingzhi and the death of the soldiers of the four battalions, Wang Jianru was still most concerned about the safety of Song Xiaojun and Ye Qingyu in the starry battlefield. If these two people were to fall, the Unmoving City of Darkness would also fall completely, and with no possibility of recovering.
“It's the Emperor... and His Majesty, they are back.” The critically wounded Lingyun still remained at the forefront of the battle. He gave a cheer of joy, and his voice, like a thunderbolt, resonated throughout the Unmoving City of Darkness.
Bursts of cheers, like a tsunami, instantly filled the Unmoving City of Darkness.
The army of the Guardian camp that was storming over, upon hearing and seeing this scene, was suddenly hesitant to advance. While the Quasi-emperor experts also completely lost the courage to attack when they sensed the earth-shaking Emperor power pressing down like an immemorial mountain, which also suppressed their body of qi.
“How is that possible?” Deputy Commander Xie stared at the two figures that were descending like fiendgods with wide-eyed disbelief.
At his side, Chief Commander Yang Feng who thought that everything was within his grasp just seconds ago, had a smile frozen on his face. He vaguely felt a great danger was approaching, because he knew very clearly what kind of forces Royal City had dispatched in order to kill the new Emperor. In the end the new Emperor had managed to return alive. Could it mean that all the sovereigns were killed by the new Emperor?
How is that possible?
Yang Feng couldn’t convince himself of this ending.
He widened his eyes, scanning other places of the sky in the hope that the sovereigns ordered to kill the new Emperor would appear. In his imagination, even if the new Emperor came back alive, he must have escaped and the pursuit would soon come. As long as he cooperated with the other sovereigns, he could certainly still reverse the situation.
As for Great Elder Shen Lingzhi, watching the beautiful figure of the Emperor of Darkness coming over on the giant flame bear, he was completely dumbfounded. The thing that he was most afraid of had happened. He immediately felt an impulse to turn around and leave as far as possible.
The fierce battle gradually came to a halt.
The figures of Song Xiaojun and Ye Qingyu landed on the hundred of meters tall cornerstone of the entrance of the Divine Palace of Darkness.
One hundred and eight steps extended down from the stone foundation, blood flowing down the steps, and countless warriors of the Unmoving City of Darkness were guarding here with their flesh and blood, like boulders, preventing the Guardian army from advancing any further. This was because inside the Divine Palace of Darkness was the old and weak officials most loyal to the Emperor of Darkness Song Xiaojun.
Song Xiaojun looked down from a height.
“We pay respect to Your Majesty.”
“We pay respect to Your Majesty.”
“Long live the Emperor!”
The soldiers, who were bathed in the blood of the war, in this moment, had all knelt down to pay respect to the real Emperor in their hearts.
And Wang Jianru, Lingyun and the other chief commanders of the military of the Unmoving City of Darkness also came to Song Xiaojun and Ye Qingyu's side, crowding around the two.
Some experts of the Unmoving City of Darkness with slightly slower reactions had yet to notice the change in Song Xiaojun’s aura. They had not realized that the supreme Emperor in their hearts had already achieved the real imperial throne. They all simply thought that the army would finally have a real pillar now that Her Majesty had finally returned, and even if they were to die in battle with the Emperor, it was a high honour.
After all, Wang Jianru had only controlled the military with the identity of military counselor Blood-scar for a period of time. Although she had established a certain prestige, there was still a gap from the image that the former Wang Jianru had in the past. In the end she could not become the spiritual pillar of the Unmoving City of Darkness.
Song Xiaojun was not the same.
In the past, the Emperor of Darkness had taken the lead in every battle, and her formidable style and kindness to her people had thoroughly made the soldiers acknowledge her as the true Emperor. It was no exaggeration to say that the present Song Xiaojun had a majestic prestige and deterrence in the Unmoving City of Darkness. Even the higher-ups who had joined Shen Lingzhi's side were also terrified of Song Xiaojun.
Only Wang Jianru sensed the change of aura on Song Xiaojun right away.
“Xiaojun, you... have... succeeded?” Wang Jianru was as surprised as she was happy.
Song Xiaojun nodded, “Teacher, I came late... everything here, just leave it to Brother Qingyu and I.”

Wang Jianru's eyes under the mask revealed an incomparably delighted expression.
“Okay,” she nodded, as if relieved from a burden. Her heart welled up with thousands of emotions.
In this moment, Wang Jianru even felt an unreal feeling.
Not too long ago, the young pair standing next to her was just sitting in the same classroom waiting for her to start the lesson. They did not know anything about martial arts before and started from the most basic foundation, embarking on the road of cultivation. At that time, for them, perhaps becoming an expert of the Bitter Sea realm was already the limit of martial arts, allowing them to move unhindered across the snow country. But now, the couple that had experienced countless storms and sufferings along the way had overcome the isolation of time and space with their most sincere true feelings. They had finally set foot on the pinnacle of martial arts together.
Time flies. Before she was old her former students had already become Emperors.
Wang Jianru couldn't help feeling emotional.
And at this time, Lingyun couldn’t control his anger any longer and reported everything to Song Xiaojun and Ye Qingyu.
“Please, my lord, act out justice for us.”
Lingyun lifted up the imperial order that Ye Qingyu had presented to him before, looking right at Ye Qingyu with enraged and unwilling eyes.
Speaking of the fellow soldiers who were killed tragically in the attack, he couldn't help but weep bitter tears. Those were the most loyal and heroic soldiers. They had been guarding the great wall their entire life. Their fathers, their grandfathers, and their ancestors were born and died on the great wall. It was only because they defended against Invaders with their blood for generations that the Dark Realm and the Vast Thousand Domains could enjoy so many years of peace, but now they were killed by the people they guarded. How can one not be furious?
Ye Qingyu nodded, saying, “Today I will certainly give you an explanation.”
In Lingyun's eyes, Ye Qingyu was the new Emperor of the Guardian camp and governs everything. It was an irrefutable fact that the chief commander of the Guardian camp had joined hands with Shen Lingzhi to plot against the Unmoving City of Darkness, and he must give them an explanation.
And finally unable to suppress her anger, Song Xiaojun had already made a move. Her eyes like lightning swept across the crowd until she saw Shen Lingzhi standing at Yang Feng's side. Emperor power pervaded the air, and then an invisible force brought Shen Lingzhi over, hurling him onto the stone steps.
“Elder Shen Lingzhi, your ancestors are heroes of the Unmoving City of Darkness, but you, for your own benefits, had betrayed the city and joined hands with others to kill your fellow people and soldiers. Do you know what crime you have committed?”
Song Xiaojun stepped down the steps, slowly moving closer to Shen Lingzhi.
Shen Lingzhi was still in a daze as to how he was captured in an instant. He only saw that everything blurred before his eyes and was unable to use any of his strength. Then the next moment he was already at the middle of the stone steps, surrounded by countless faces of hatred.
“No, I...” Shen Lingzhi's soul flew away. His long-term fear of Song Xiaojun had completely erupted in this moment, like a flood. He lost his sanity, screaming frantically, “Commander Yang, Commander Xie, save me... help me!”
In the distance.
It was then that Chief Commander Yang Feng snapped out of his shock.
“What actually happened in the starry battlefield? Could it be that they escaped the pursuit of the sovereigns with some technique? It seems that I only need to delay them for a certain amount of time before the sovereigns arrive.”
He made up his mind.
“Emperor of Darkness, how dare you behave uncontrollably in front of this commander. Shen Lingzhi's actions were all my orders. Do you have an opinion? Quickly let go off Elder Shen Lingzhi?” Yang Feng roared, operating his yuan qi.
The four chief commanders of the border controlled the Sinner tribes. Even if they did not have direct jurisdiction over them, they had absolute majesty. Yang Feng, although shocked by the strength that Song Xiaojun showed, knew that even if Song Xiaojun had become an Emperor, he did not have to be too afraid because Sinners were still Sinners even after becoming Emperors, and were still subjected to the jurisdiction of Royal City. They were unable to automatically become a present age sovereign, and even more cannot officially belong to the aristocrats of the Guardian camp. As for Ye Qingyu... since he had not seen him before, he thought that he might as well pretend to not know him, which would help stall for time.
Yang Feng wanted protect this Shen Lingzhi. After all, he was a very rare obedient dog among the Sinners, but also the best chess piece to control the Unmoving City of Darkness. At least for now he cannot let him die.
However, what infuriated Yang Feng was that Song Xiaojun simply ignored him, and treated him as the air.
“Shen Lingzhi for his selfish desire had betrayed his ancestors and slaughtered fellow soldiers. He really is a heartless maniac. The heavens will not tolerate this. Your bloodline of the Unmoving City of Darkness will be removed and you will be stripped off your rank. From now on, you will be hung on the pillar of darkness for ten days, exposed to the scorching sun. Ten days later, you will be subjected to thousands of slashes in order to console the deceased heroes of the Unmoving City of Darkness that were killed.”
Under the watchful eye of countless enraged soldiers, Song Xiaojun, who was similarly furious, made a judgement.
This was the most brutal and harshest torture.
Shen Lingzhi almost fainted in fear when he heard this——
