Rong Xi stared dumbfoundedly at the Fourth Prince, who was sitting cross-legged, semi-naked, absorbing the moonlight. Her brain promptly shut down.
What kind of trope is this?
Time and ...
Slaying the Dragon, in the name of the Yantian Sect.
This was merely a stopgap measure by Rong Xi.
Her goal was to seek justice for the millions of innocent people who died unjustly at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, and this justice did not only include the true dragon clan who received blood offerings.
And there were those who ordered a series of massacres!
Of course, most of them are already dead, and those who are alive are mostly in the heavens.
No rush. As long as she doesn't die, she will eventually ascend. And after she ascends, it will be time for reckoning.
"Ulanara, you stop right now!"
"The true dragon is the guardian beast of my Great Qing Dynasty. Are you trying to disrupt the foundation of my Great Qing Dynasty?"
"I command you, stop!"
Seeing that the Azure Dragon King had already had its arms and legs devoured by the Taotie, leaving only its torso and head, Emperor Kangxi was truly frantic. If the Azure Dragon King died, the true dragon clan would inevitably wage war against the Qing Dynasty.
The true dragon is a divine beast.
The newly born dragon already possessed the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
And adult dragons are all celestial beings.
When true dragons descend to earth, although they are suppressed by the laws of the mortal realm, their combat power absolutely surpasses that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Most of them can reach the Great Ascension stage, or even the half-step Celestial Immortal stage, but are stuck below the threshold of ascension.
"So noisy!"
Rong Xi had long disliked Kangxi, so naturally she didn't give him any face at this moment.
With a single glance, she signaled Bao Bao to use the spatial power of the blessed land to send Kangxi flying.
So what if he's an emperor?
In this world, the strong still reign supreme!
If you've treated me well, I'll naturally reciprocate. But what have you done? You actually tried to use me to gain benefits from the Free and Unfettered Sect. Even if you have imperial considerations and want to maximize your own interests...
But does this have anything to do with my sister having half a spirit stone?
As a member of the Free and Unfettered Sect, Consort De deserves no punishment, but to go and even bestow the title of Empress upon the sect's Holy Maiden is utterly ridiculous. All this talk about the Qing Dynasty's fate and stability? What a load of rubbish!
"Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"
Seeing Kangxi sent flying by Rong Xi's single glance, Liang Jiugong was the first to shout out.
At that moment, the nobles, princes, and civil and military officials who had been observing stepped forward and rushed towards Rong Xi's direction.
"Ban it!"
Rong Xi decisively let the baby take action.
The space of the blessed land split into a huge dome, which enveloped Rong Xi, the Fourth Prince, Kangxi, the saintess Yan Wuyue of the Xiaoyao Sect, Taotie, and the Azure Dragon King.
Outside the spatial dome, the Empress Dowager and the surrounding nobles and ministers were all dumbfounded.
They were blocked by an invisible barrier, and no matter what kind of attack they launched, they could not break through this spatial barrier.
"No--"
The Azure Dragon King finally regained consciousness and, realizing his condition, let out a shrill cry, trying to escape.
Unfortunately, although it broke through space, it was only absorbed by the blessed land.
"Baby, trap this crawler first, then we'll deal with it slowly later!"
Didn't you want blood offerings?
Okay, then let's give them a taste of their own medicine.
Originally, the enraged Rong Xi wanted the Taotie to devour the Azure Dragon King whole, chewing him up piece by piece. But now, she has changed her mind.
Dragon meat is highly nutritious!
This kind of thing is something you can only come across by chance, not by seeking.
This Azure Dragon King can be kept as a pet; whenever you want to eat it, you can cut off some of its flesh.
Blood debts must be repaid with blood, and flesh debts with flesh!
The Azure Dragon King was trapped in the blessed land and still wanted to cause trouble, but the baby activated the forbidden area of the blessed land and sealed him directly to a rune pillar.
"Where is this place? Damn it, I am the Azure Dragon King! You dare to kill me? My True Dragon Clan will fight you to the death!"
The Azure Dragon King was sealed away and could only let out angry roars.
Unfortunately, in this blessed land, as long as the baby doesn't want to make a sound, no one will hear a thing.
"Now, it's your turn!"
Rong Xi looked at Yan Wuyue, the saintess of the Xiaoyao Sect, who had helped Kangxi up.
"Ulanara clan, what do you intend to do?"
"Wu Yue is already the Empress of our Great Qing Dynasty, blessed by the nation's destiny. Do you really intend to rebel?"
Although Kangxi was sent flying by the spatial force, he did not suffer serious injuries. However, after experiencing being sent flying by Rong Xi's single glare, Kangxi was filled with apprehension towards her.
"Yinzhen, you unfilial son, why aren't you stopping your wife?"
What do you want to do?
Kangxi glared at the Fourth Prince, "Don't force me to sever your bloodline and expel you from the clan!"
Sever his bloodline and expel him from the clan!
If Kangxi had actually done so, the Fourth Prince would no longer have the bloodline of the Aisin Gioro clan, would have been expelled from the clan, and would no longer be a prince recognized by the imperial family, and would naturally no longer have the blessing of the Qing Dynasty.
When Kangxi said these words, he was clearly forced to the limit.
"Father, in your heart, your son is no match for this vixen!"
Upon hearing Kangxi's words, the Fourth Prince was filled with grief and indignation. "This vixen has been targeting the Qing Dynasty all along. She even conspired with Consort De, of the Nara clan, to kidnap my wife, all for the sake of obtaining the inheritance of the Yantian Sect!"
"Instead of seeking justice for my wife, you've chosen to make this vixen your empress!"
"How can you face your ancestors?"
"You unfilial son, I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"
Kangxi glared at the Fourth Prince, "It's better to resolve enmity than to let it fester. Now that Wu Yue is the Empress, she is your legal mother. If you want to harm her, you are being unfilial!"
"To disobey my instructions is to be disloyal!"
"To plot against the guardian beast of the Qing Dynasty is unjust!"
"To disregard the lives and safety of millions of Qing Dynasty citizens and seek only momentary pleasure is to be inhumane!"
"Disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust!"
"You unfilial son, how can you and your husband stand in this world?"
Kangxi's words were truly righteous and awe-inspiring.
Unfortunately, different perspectives and starting points lead to vastly different thoughts.
"Father, since that's the case, then sever my bloodline and expel me from the clan!"
The Fourth Prince was also quite assertive.
He was devoted to the Qing Dynasty, but in the end, he was deemed disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust!
"Long live!"
"Don't be impulsive!"
Yan Wuyue spoke again after the Fourth Prince spoke, appearing virtuous and gentle, "The Fourth Prince just hasn't figured it out yet, Your Majesty, please don't take it to heart!"
"Foolish!"
Outside the barrier of the spatial dome, the Empress Dowager witnessed all of this and was truly furious!
"emperor!"
The Empress Dowager spoke, her cold voice reaching Kangxi's ears: "I don't care what you think, if you dare to act recklessly, I will depose you from the throne!"
"Right now, immediately, remove that vixen from your position as empress!"
In this situation, anyone who isn't a fool knows how to make a choice.
The Azure Dragon King was nearly tortured to death, and the Qing Dynasty and the True Dragon Clan were destined to never reconcile. Under such circumstances, if the Ulanara clan, who controlled the Taotie, could not be retained, the fall of the Qing Dynasty was not far off.
