Chapter 259: The Empress Xiao's Family is Destroyed! Game of the Holy Land!
Discovered the ancestor of the Xiao family.
Seeing that the other party was only at the third level of the seventh realm, Xiao Linger suddenly felt bored with the many speeches she had prepared.
This cultivation level is even lower than mine!
In terms of combat power, the difference is huge.
Even among these people, Xiao Zhengji can only be considered to be ranked at the bottom.
Anything else to say?
seem···
There's really no need for that.
Xiao Ling'er shook her head slightly. It was just a casual attack. However, Xiao Zhengji's spiritual perception was extremely sharp. He actually sensed it and resisted it immediately.
But, it can't be stopped at all.
puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Xiao Zhengji's life force was rapidly fading.
Xiao Ling'er didn't even look at him again before she started fighting with the next opponent.
"Old man, old man..."
Xiao Zhengji felt his life slipping away, opened his mouth, and his face was full of disbelief.
"Wow!"
He spat out a large mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs, and could even feel his soul constantly shattering and dissipating!
"I am going to die here, old man?"
"But how could this be so?"
"How could this be?!"
He fell powerlessly from the air, with the sound of wind whistling in his ears, but he could not believe that this was his end.
“This shouldn’t…this shouldn’t be happening!”
"In this battle, ten princes joined forces and sent out all their elite troops. How could they not be able to take down a mere Seventh Princess's Mansion?"
"The Ninth Prince I have joined is not only ambitious, but also extremely intelligent. Logically speaking, I won't bet on the wrong person, and he will definitely be able to ascend the throne..."
“This shouldn’t be the case.”
“This really shouldn’t be the case.”
"If I die, what will happen to the Xiao family?"
"My Xiao family..."
"My Xiao family!"
He coughed up blood and felt extremely desperate.
No one paid any attention to him.
But the more this happened, the more tormented he became and the harder it was for him to calm down.
"I···"
"My Xiao family should have become an imperial family."
"My Xiao family has two people with destiny!!!"
"My Xiao family should rise up under the leadership of the man of destiny, become an imperial family, an immortal ancient family, and become..."
"But why is this so?"
"Why..."
"Will it end like this?"
Consciousness finally faded.
puff!
His body fell like a piece of rag somewhere in the garden of the Seventh Princess's Mansion, without alarming anyone, but just splashing a cloud of dust, that's all.
······
The war came quickly and went away quickly!
Although the princes joined forces and had many elite troops under their command, their intelligence was insufficient.
People only know that Long Aojiao is fierce and violent, but they don’t know that Long Aojiao also brought Xiao Ling’er and others with him, and asked them to guard the Seventh Princess’ Mansion.
They were already weak in strength, and it was naturally even more difficult to resist when their troops were divided into two groups.
In less than half an hour.
The area where the Seventh Princess's Mansion was located returned to peace.
It was as if nothing had ever happened.
When the darkness fades away...
From a distance, it seemed that not even a blade of grass or a tree was damaged in the Seventh Princess's Mansion.
······
The destructiveness of the battlefield where Long Aojiao is located is much greater.
but···
But that’s all.
After the battle, Long Aojiao regained his composure.
However, the human head belt around her waist could no longer be hung.
Some people took a look at it from afar and were so frightened that their whole body trembled.
“That, that is…?!”
"All the princes' heads, all, all?!"
"hiss!"
"The sky of our Immortal Dynasty is about to change!"
They were terrified.
But he didn't dare to make any unusual movements.
Meanwhile, everyone is waiting.
Waiting for the one in the palace, wanting to know his reaction and actions.
What to do...
The palace has been extremely quiet and no news has been heard.
······
The Seventh Princess's Mansion.
Long Aojiao returns.
He had already 'untied' the belt with the human head and was dragging it with one hand, leaving blood and feces all over the ground as he walked along!
"Tsundere, you..."
"Are you okay?"
The seventh princess came forward, her face full of worry.
But, there is also a hint of uncontrollable joy!
"I'm fine."
Long Aojiao snorted coldly: "They all deserve to die!"
"I have killed all of them. The throne of the Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty Emperor belongs to you!"
"Walk!"
She even didn't stop, and pulled the seventh princess up to go out.
"Where are you going?"
The Seventh Princess was stunned.
"Enter the palace!"
"Force that old man to abdicate!"
Long Aojiao said coldly: "An old guy, I think he is senile and confused."
"You're going to die anyway, so why are you still sitting there? You should have stepped down earlier and given up your seat, so that it wouldn't have come to this!"
"Since he doesn't want to be decent himself, I will help him be decent."
Long Aojiao was very angry.
He even really wanted to kill Qian Yuantuo as well.
In her opinion, if it weren't for the old man Qian Yuantuo being incompetent and uncaring, how could her child have died before being born?
and···
Why are you doing this, you old bastard?
He was about to die, but he refused to pass down his position. He just hid in the palace, waiting for his own children to kill each other and raise poisonous insects, right?
Neuropathy!
If you were a little more capable and didn't fail in the breakthrough and put yourself on the verge of death, or if you were a little wiser and passed the position earlier, my child would not have died!
What makes Long Aojiao speechless is...
Now, it has come to this.
I have killed all your princes, but you are still hiding in the deep palace without showing up, and you don't even say a word.
This kind of person...
If you weren't my 'father-in-law', I would have killed you!
Even Long Aojiao was not prepared to let him go.
However, considering that he will not live long, if he is smart, I don't mind letting him live until he dies. Otherwise, I will just behead him!
"Yes, but..."
The seventh princess hesitated and hesitated.
But Long Aojiao didn't give her any chance at all.
He grabbed him and went to the palace.
The guests all felt their scalps tingling when they saw this, but now they also knew that this was the best opportunity!
If he had missed this opportunity and didn't dare to take this gamble, he wouldn't have chosen to follow the Seventh Princess before.
Soon, they entered the palace!
only···
The expected war did not happen.
There is no obstruction along the way!
The emperor's bedroom!
Long Aojiao, Xiao Ling'er and others met Emperor Qian Yuantuo for the first time.
This... emperor is dying and on the decline.
He is in very bad condition.
He could almost suffocate and die at any time.
"Father..."
The Seventh Princess knelt on the ground, looking sad: "Is this the ending you wanted?"
"My bloodline is dying. For this position, we fought till blood flowed like a river..."
"The royal family has always been like this. Even if they don't want to fight, the people behind them will do everything they can to push them forward and force them to fight."
"What's more..."
Qian Yuantuo suddenly laughed: "Seventh Brother, you seem to be the least qualified person to say this."
"Originally, you didn't have to do this, and you didn't have to go through this."
"So, I should go and marry a person I don't know, and I might even be treated as a plaything or a slave by him for the rest of my life?" The Seventh Princess asked back sternly.
"As a princess of the royal family, you naturally have your own mission."
Qian Yuantuo said calmly: "Besides, you have already walked your own path, haven't you?"
"It's just that you're pretty good."
"Even I never thought that in the end, it would be you who would end up here."
"Long Ao Jiao."
"You're pretty good."
He looked at Long Aojiao, and the first sentence he said made Long Aojiao frown.
I just killed fourteen of your sons!
You said I was pretty good???
this···
Who is this?
Even someone as cruel as Long Aojiao felt his scalp tingling at this moment.
This kind of family, this kind of "way of thinking", is really hard to accept and creepy.
"I'm naturally pretty good."
There were thousands of thoughts in her mind, but Long Aojiao never showed her fear. She just said calmly, "There is no one like me in the world."
"Abdicate."
"I can make the decision and leave you with dignity."
"Otherwise, there's nothing to say."
"hehe."
Qian Yuantuo stood up. Although he seemed to be about to die at any moment, he was like a dying breath, giving people a huge pressure: "Although I failed to break through the barrier and was attacked by the backlash, I am almost exhausted."
"But, we don't have to just sit there and surrender."
"If you want me to abdicate, you need to show your strength."
"In that case, let's fight!"
Long Aojiao took the lead and rushed into the sky immediately.
Qian Yuantuo looked at him deeply and also flew into the air.
The eunuchs watched quietly, but had no intention of taking any action.
Soon, violent fluctuations were heard from deep within the sky. Obviously, the two had already started fighting, and the fight was extremely fierce. Although Qian Yuantuo was on the verge of death, as an emperor, his background must be extremely profound.
Even Long Aojiao would not be able to do anything to him in a short period of time.
"Something's wrong."
Xiao Linger looked around and whispered, "These eunuchs are very strong, even stronger than the princes' men before, but they have no intention of taking action at all."
"Also, I can sense that many ministers have gathered outside the palace at this moment."
"It looks like he is quite powerful and his status is not low either."
"them···"
"They don't even have any intention of taking action. It seems like they are just waiting patiently?"
"Perhaps, it was arranged by the Emperor."
The Seventh Princess sighed softly, "He can't live anymore. He will die sooner or later. Someone will have to inherit the Immortal Dynasty eventually."
"For him, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, or who ends up sitting in that position. As long as they're his own flesh and blood, it doesn't matter."
"So, he should have been prepared a long time ago."
"Even if all his descendants died and only one person was left, he would not feel the slightest bit of sadness."
"On the contrary, he will feel lucky."
"At the same time, offer everything you have prepared for your successor..."
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince is absolutely right."
最为苍老的太监，亦是乾元拓最为宠信之人，此刻悄然开口：“陛下确是此意。”
“不管最终来此之人是谁，都是陛下选定的继位。”
“而这一切，也都是陛下的准备。”
“一切，只为更迭之后，江山稳固依旧！”
“否则，咱们乾元仙朝虽然不算太强···”老太监看向萧灵儿等人，笑道：“却也绝非是区区几人，便可横扫的。”
萧灵儿等人尽皆诧异，同时，却又‘了然’。
并为此感到离谱。
这种‘操作’，他们倒是也可以理解。
但话又说回来，理解归理解，不代表她们也能接受。
“学不来。”
巫行云摇头：“或许，这便是宗门与皇朝之间的差别吧？”
“我等宗门更迭，绝不会如此！”
“是啊！”
萧灵儿为自己感到庆幸。
若是自己也如七公主这般生在帝王家···
那可真是让人绝望啊。
七公主不再多言，只是幽幽一叹。
······
咚！
天穹猛然激变！
漫天白云化作乌云，又在瞬间消散，好似被恐怖力量尽皆震散了。
只是刹那间而已，天穹之上，百万里无云。
一道道空间裂缝遍布。
虚空若隐若现。
密密麻麻的秩序神炼垂落下来，却又不断崩毁！
两道人影激烈碰撞、全力争锋。
最终，又是数次碰撞之后，乾元拓那苍老的身影终究是不敌，从天穹坠落，将皇宫都砸穿了！
“死！”
龙傲娇出手，要赶尽杀绝！
“且慢！”
七公主出声阻止。
龙傲娇皱眉，却终究还是决定给她一个面子。
在龙傲娇看来，终究是自己亏欠了她。
“呵呵呵。”
“老七。”
更为‘凄惨’，几乎看不出‘人形’的乾元拓自废墟中艰难爬起，露出一抹怪笑：“你终究是不够狠。”
“你要记住，身在帝王家，最不能有的，便是仁慈！”
“你必须狠！”
“对别人狠、对自己狠，哪怕是对自己的子孙后代，也要狠。”
“唯有如此，你才能坐稳这帝王之位。”
“否则，作为乾元仙朝从古至今第一位女帝，你的未来，将会无比艰难。”
“看来，你很想现在就死？”
龙傲娇听不惯这些，就要上前给他一下。
乾元拓却是没搭理她，反倒是呵呵一笑：“朕差不多到时间了。”
“走之前，最后再帮你一次吧。”
轰！
他动用最后的力量腾空，刹那间，光芒万丈。
这一刻，在外人看来，他不再是只剩下最后一口气、形容枯槁的乾元拓，而是那个仍在巅峰，号令仙朝、莫敢不从的帝王！
同时，在阵法加持下，他的虚影、他的声音，传遍整个乾元仙朝。
“朕，乾元拓，于今日退位，传位于七公主乾元文卿。”
“从此之后，七公主乾元文卿，便是本朝女帝！”
“尔等皆需全力辅佐，不得有误！”
轰隆隆。
乾元拓声音如雷，响彻整个乾元仙朝。
仙朝之内，所有人皆清晰可闻。
京都之内，虽然几乎所有人都感慨万千，但却没有人感到惊讶，毕竟，能在京都混迹或是安家之人，或多或少都有本事、本路。
之前连番大战，他们早已接到消息，知晓七公主成为最终胜者。
可京都之外的其他乾元仙朝官员、子民，此刻，却是无比震惊。
“七公主？”
“七公主···继承大统？”
“可是前几日京都那边不是才传来消息，七公主遭受巨大损失，几乎已经没有可能了么？”
“这变化，也未免太快了些！”
“乾元仙朝第一位···女帝么？”
“这下，如何是好？”
各地官员、士族，震惊之余，却又陷入艰难的抉择之中。
虽然不知京都那边究竟发生了什么，但必然不太平静，用屁股想都知道，新帝登基之初，力量薄弱，对于偏远地区没有多少控制力。
那么此刻···
是选择臣服，一如既往，还是~~~
这是个问题。
······
而京都，反倒是要安稳许多。
早已汇聚在皇宫内外的太监、大臣们，在乾元拓话音落下之后，纷纷行礼：“谨遵陛下之命！”
声震九霄。
他们之中，或许有不少人并非是真心拥护乾元拓。
但却因为这样那样的原因，不得不如此！
不得不按照乾元拓的想法，继续拥护新帝乾元文卿。
而其中缘由，却是说来话长了。
但···
有他们‘不得不辅佐’，七公主这个帝位，却不会坐的太过艰难。
或许会有些麻烦，但却绝不至于被内部之人赶下来。
······
其后三日。
新帝登基！
七公主一身龙袍，雍容华贵，成功坐上龙椅，坐上那‘至高’之位。
满朝文武、诸多太监各有所思。
但却无人能改变这一切。
其后，便是一场轰轰烈烈的‘清洗’！
不错，之前的大战、之前的自相残杀，甚至···只是开胃菜！
各大皇子及其手下客卿、大能等，虽然都已死了，但与他们相关之人，却还有很多。
其母族···
其妻族。
其儿媳、女婿一族···
甚至，其母族的夫族、母族、其妻族的母族、儿媳、女婿一族的母族···
之前投靠各大皇族的士族、臣子···
牵连甚广！
哪怕乾元文卿不是弑杀之人，没有不分青红昭白尽皆‘诛九族’，而是按照他们的所作所为而判定是否有罪、是否该杀，依旧是杀的人头滚滚、血流成河！
不该杀者，基本没乱杀。
该杀的，一个不留！
乾元文卿此刻，也是极为铁血，不弑杀是真的，却也没有哪怕半点心慈手软。
而在这场清洗之中，本应早就覆灭的萧家，反倒是‘活’了下来。
直到清洗结束，依旧‘屹立’。
这让很多人都感到错愕。
就是诸多大臣，也尽皆不解。
“萧家，竟然活下来了？”
“不应该啊！”
“萧正极那老东西，实力一般，但办事却颇为不错，之前一段时间都是先帝身边的红人，地位颇高。但在先帝出现变故之后，他便第一时间投靠九皇子，据说是出谋划策，出了不少力。”
“按照当即陛下的手段，萧家，应当是满门抄斩，一个不留才是啊！”
“可为何，萧家却一直屹立到如今，清洗都结束了，萧家，却还在？”
“···”
外人不得而知、极为好奇。
萧家内部，同样如此。
只是···
与外界仅仅只是好奇与猜疑相比，萧家内部，却就是无与伦比的煎熬了。
族长萧战与一众长老天天开会，开的人都麻了，却也商议不出个所以然来。
这一日，他们仍在开会。
“有谁知道，当今陛下究竟要做什么？”
萧战再无当初的意气风发。
自从其子萧杰被萧灵儿斩杀之后，他便几度沉沦，如今，更是心灰意冷，无比憔悴。
但整个家族的重担压在他身上，却又让他必须坚挺。
只是···
似乎真有些坚持不下去了啊。
“我等不知。”
众长老无言苦笑。
“不知不知，你们什么都不知，一问三不知还要你们作甚？为何不都去死？！”萧战愤怒咆哮：“这些日子以来，整个萧家人人自危，时刻都担心被诛九族，心力交瘁···”
“就只是让你们查一点蛛丝马迹，知晓陛下到底要如何对付我们萧家，难道就如此艰难吗？”
这段时间，萧家真的太难了。
因为那些原因，以往交好的势力纷纷划清界限，甚至还尽皆出手针对。
让他们举步维艰。
最为艰难的是，还是新帝模糊不清的态度。
就如同悬在头顶的利刃，随时都有可能掉下，让他们提心吊胆，连一个好觉都睡不着啊。
偏偏他们各方面打听，却又什么都打听不出来···
最要命的是，他们还不敢胡乱行动。
甚至连将自家种子‘偷偷’送出去都不敢！
毕竟，谁也不知新帝是何打算，而此举必然无法瞒过新帝和那些有心人，万一此举激怒新帝，那等待萧家的，真就只有灭亡一途了。
这种煎熬，几乎要将他们全都逼疯！
“族长，你也莫要太过担心···”
“说什么屁话？！”
“我岂能不担心？三长老，老糊涂啦？！”
三长老一声劝解，换来一阵狂喷。
但三长老此刻却是连生气的力气都没有了，长叹道：“族长，你如此大动肝火又能如何呢？”
“陛下不开口，谁人敢乱来？”
“陛下不表态，谁知道我们萧家究竟会是何种结果？”
“依我看，咱们不如吃饱了睡、睡饱了吃，等！”
“等待结果出炉便是。”
“毕竟，我等站错了队，站在新帝的立场上，就是将我等诛九族，我等也丝毫不冤。”
“可若是有所变故···岂不就是意外之喜？”
“既如此，又何必担心那许多？”
“还不如放宽心，反正最坏也就是个诛九族而已，还能如何吗？”
这话一出···
众人皆是一愣。
随即反而冷静了不少。
别说，还真没毛病！
大长老更是忍不住道：“那若是有意外之喜，老三，你觉得，会是哪种情况？”
“意外之喜么···”
三长老轻声道：“我听闻，此行，龙傲娇带来一些强者！都是女子，但实力却极为惊人，就是她们存在，才帮新帝横扫一切，成功登顶。”
“而这些人之中，有一人，名为萧灵儿。”
众人皆色变。
“萧灵儿？！”
“对，揽月宗亲传大弟子，萧灵儿。”
三长老幽幽开口。
众人的脸色一变再变，却是再也难以平静了。
这些年来，他们自然并非什么都没做。
之前被忽悠，还以为自家萧灵儿拜入了皓月宗，但这些年，他们已经弄清楚了，什么皓月宗萧灵儿？
分明就是揽月宗亲传大弟子！
而且已经闯出赫赫凶名！
就是整个萧家，都不是其对手啊。
也正因如此，这些年萧家才没有任何动作···
不是不想，而是不敢！
结果此刻却突然听闻，此事，似乎与萧灵儿有关？
“莫非！！！”
大长老面露喜色：“萧灵儿终究是念及血脉之情，跟陛下求情，让陛下放过萧家？”
“否则，我们萧家岂会到此刻依旧不倒？”
“定是如此！”
众长老大喜。
唯有三长老哑然失笑。
萧灵儿···
求情？
你们还真是天真啊。
什么念及血脉之情，也亏你们说得出来。
说是同族，但实则，萧灵儿不过出自萧家一个分家之下毫不起眼的支脉而已，之前还逼死人家父母，就这，说什么血脉之情？
何况···
就是从萧灵儿这些年的经历来分析，她也不是那等以德报怨之人吧？
真是···
唉。
三长老摇摇头，不语。
听着其他人越发兴奋的谈论、愈加明显的笑容，他却只是想笑。
······
与此同时，皇宫之内。
乾元文卿论功行赏，诸多大臣都有赏赐。
“龙傲娇！”
“朕封你为护国圣女，享第一秦王待遇···”
乾元文卿一个个封赏下来，给爵位、给资源、给名声···
几乎什么都给了。
龙傲娇却是意兴阑珊，面无半点笑容。
见状，乾元文卿也只当是她不在乎这些，微微迟疑之后，便不在乎了。
其后便是萧灵儿等人。
“至于诸位。”
“想来不会在我朝久留，便不给爵位了，形同虚设，太没有诚意。”
“至于丹药，想来你们也不缺。”
“因此，便给予资源吧。”
“国库之内，诸位各自任选十件，如何？”
女帝乾元文卿笑意吟吟。
若是以往，这等封赏，她必会心痛。
但如今却不会。
国库比她想象中还要丰盈，何况这段时间杀到人头滚滚，诸多皇子及其背后势力的都被诛九族、抄家···
她更是富上加富。
对此，萧灵儿等人都没拒绝。
虽然龙傲娇承诺给一个人情，但人家既然诚心送，又何必拒绝？
修仙···
最缺的，往往便是资源啊！
见她们应下，乾元文卿又道：“萧灵儿。”
“咱们也算是有过数面之缘。”
“朕另有一个小小惊喜送给你。”
“萧家到目前为止，依旧是完好无损。”
“如何处置，由你来主导。”
她在示好。
身为女帝，要考虑的东西自然更多。
譬如，拉拢一些势力···
而发展迅猛，堪称如日中天的‘三流宗门’揽月宗，无疑是最好的选择之一，毕竟对方实力足够、合作过、还有龙傲娇在其中‘润滑’。
“萧家么？”
萧灵儿竟出现了一瞬间的恍惚。
······
不久后，萧家。
萧灵儿登门。
萧家上下得知消息，顿时喜出望外。
大长老更是长笑不止：“哈哈哈，如此说来，我等果然没有猜错！”
“族长，你莫要板着个脸，虽然你儿子死在她手上，但咱们整个萧家，却都还要仰仗于她啊！”
“是啊，族长，你笑一个。”
“切不可摆出一副苦大仇深、深仇大恨的模样，若是惹恼了她，咱们可未必能保得住你。”
萧战：“···”
第一次进入萧家。
看着萧家众人。
看着萧家那些高层一个个宛若菊花般灿烂的老脸。
萧灵儿本以为自己会极为愤怒，会控制不住自己的情绪大开杀戒。
但···
真正踏足，亲眼见证这一切时，她才发现，自己心中，唯有冷漠。
愤怒？
恨意？
有。
但却并没有那般无法控制。
甚至有一种···
也就如此之感。
“灵儿。”大长老乐呵呵上前：“我们就知道，定是你在陛下那边美言，我们萧家才能···”
“你误会了。”
萧灵儿摆手打断：“第一，我没跟任何人替萧家美言。”
“第二，我与你没有任何关系，也不认识你，莫要叫的如此亲热，让人作呕。”
“第三，我是替女帝前来传令的。”
“萧家···”
“宗家图谋造反、罪大恶极，诛九族！”
萧灵儿开口。
神色淡然，声音平淡。
但她的话语，却比死神的镰刀还要恐怖且森冷，每多说一句，都让萧家众人的体温骤降一度甚至好几度！
“萧家族规令人不齿，众分家助纣为虐，皆诛九族。”
“鉴于萧家支脉皆是受害者。”
“除部分罪有应得分家支脉之外，其余支脉，可留存于世。”
一张张宛若菊花的笑容早已定格。
一张张老脸之上满是错愕与愤怒。
随后···
他们再也忍不住，咆哮出声。
“萧灵儿，你好狠！！！”
“别忘了，你也是萧家之人，你身上流淌的，乃是萧家之血啊！”
“不帮我等也就罢了，你竟然还落井下石？！！”
“哈哈哈，你好大度啊，不做违背法度的支脉，不做处理？呵呵呵，你可知，没有宗家、分家镇压，那些宵小，会将支脉蚕食殆尽？！”
“你如此作为，萧家，绝了啊！绝在你这个萧家之人手中！”
“早知如此···若是早知如此，老夫就是拼尽整个萧家，也要在你逃离北域之前，让你身死道消、永堕轮回！！！”
“我诅咒你，我诅咒你···”
他们在咆哮。
在谩骂、在诅咒。
但萧灵儿却无动于衷，甚至懒得多看他们一眼。
来此看上一眼，不过是想要亲眼看看，这个腐朽的宗家、这个让自己家破人亡的万恶宗家，究竟是何模样而已。
而如今看来，却只有失望。
令人作呕！
······
萧家。
完了。
甚至，萧灵儿都未曾亲自动手。
自然有早已准备多时的仙朝之人，将萧家彻底覆灭，且只是翌日清晨而已，萧家宗家与诸多分家宝库之内所搜刮出的一切，便已送到萧灵儿眼前。
“···”
“我离开一趟。”
这一日，萧灵儿辞行。
“二长老、丫丫，你们暂且等我三日，三日后，我便会归来，到时，咱们一同回宗门。”
“去吧。”
二长老点头。
她能猜到萧灵儿要去干什么。
丫丫却是有些担忧道：“大师姐，不如我陪你一同？”
“不必。”
萧灵儿勉强露出笑容：“此行不会有什么危险，你们在此等我便是。”
“也好。”
火云儿也大致猜到了些什么，作为闺蜜，她表示支持。
萧灵儿走了。
龙傲娇却是孤身一人寻到乾元文卿，并要求屏退左右。
“傲娇。”
已身为女帝的乾元文卿屏退左右，亲切拉起龙傲娇的手，道：“我与你堂兄虽不是明媒正娶，却也是一家人。”
“既如此，咱们也是一家人。”
“有什么，你但说无妨便是。”
“···”
龙傲娇却只是冷冷看了她一眼。
“你的目的达成了。”
“满意了？”
“什么？”乾元文卿一愣，随即不解道：“你这是何意？”
“你当本姑娘是蠢猪么？”
龙傲娇冷眼相视，那一双眸子，在此刻，宛若可以洞穿人心。
乾元文卿收起脸上的迷茫，沉默。
“若我···堂兄知晓，他会亲手杀了你！”
龙傲娇再度开口。
乾元文卿浑身一颤，面色瞬间惨白如纸。
“朕，我···”
“我不是故意的。”
“我没想过会···”
“但你，却是在用他的孩子去赌，而且，孩子没了！”
乾元文卿不由瘫软在龙椅之上，浑身大汗淋漓。
随即，无力道：“我还能生。”
“只要他愿意，我可以给他生两个、三个、十个孩子，多少都行，我···”
“你好自为之吧。”
龙傲娇摇头，踱步离去。
你还能生？
他妈的，本少未必能了啊！
奈何···
她此刻不愿暴露身份，也不愿再去追究此事了。
毕竟当初，乃是自己一时兴起将人绑来，灌的满满的···
其后，自己又关心不够，所以才导致这些事情发生。
严格而言，始作俑者，乃是自己。
又有什么资格去怪她呢？
至于她···
不过是一个野心大过能力，一心想要夺取皇位的女人罢了。
哼。
龙傲娇不愿多想，独自离去。
只留下乾元文卿孤身一人，瘫坐在龙椅之上良久、良久。
······
黑水城遗址外。
Xiao Ling'er found her parents' cenotaph based on her memory, lit three incense sticks for them, knelt in front of the grave, and talked to them for a day and a night.
From my own experiences over the years, to the development of Lanyue Sect and the revival of Yao Lao...
Then the Xiao family was destroyed, and the evil Xiao family rules became history...
"Dad, Mom."
"Rest in peace."
"In the future, Ling'er will come back to see you every once in a while."
"As for Ling'er herself."
"But I want to go and see the scenery at a higher altitude."
“I want to try it too…”
"Can I really become what Master said... Emperor Yan?"
“···”

Three days later.
Xiao Ling'er and others set out on their journey home.
This trip can be considered to be smooth sailing.
At the same time, in the Black and White Academy in the Northeast Region Holy Land, all the top leaders gathered together to discuss important matters.
"Everyone."
They all wore long gowns with the left side black and the right side white, and even their faces were half black and half white!
What was even more shocking was that his face showed two expressions at the same time.
As if smiling.
On the other side, it seemed as if it was crying!
"How are the preparations for the Virtual God Realm to spread across the Xianwu Continent?"
"Can we start right away?"
"The Lord of the Palace."
People on both sides spoke one after another.
"The preliminary preparations have been completed, but the other seven regions and one state's holy places and top forces are dissatisfied."
"Yes, Lord, they have quite a few complaints and have been resisting."
"Resistance is growing. If we ignore it and insist on doing it, I'm afraid..."
They smiled bitterly.
"This matter still needs the palace master's decision."
"oh?"
The mansion master smiled and said, "I guess it's for profit?"
"My Lord, that's a good idea."
They explained in detail: "To enter the virtual world, you need to buy our certificate. This certificate is a profitable business."
"To build the virtual world, a large number of formations need to be arranged, and there is a lot of money to be made from it..."
“If we can easily and smoothly spread the Virtual God Realm throughout the entire Xianwu Continent, the resources of our Black and White Academy will soar and even continue to soar.”
"It is foreseeable that after a period of time, the resources of our Black and White Academy will be no worse than those holy places in Zhongzhou, or even better."
“So, even those holy places have opinions.”
"As it should be, as it should be." The mansion lord smiled carefreely.
"The world is bustling with people because of profit. The world is bustling with people because of profit."
"It's just a word of profit."
"If you eat alone, it is easy to be disliked by others."
"In this case, we will make concessions."
Everyone became anxious.
"But if we compromise and give in like this, won't that destroy our own prestige?"
"Yes, Lord. Not only that, if we give them the benefit, wouldn't that mean they are getting a huge benefit for nothing?"
"We put in a lot of effort, but they are the ones who profit from it. This..."
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with that?"
"No hurry, no hurry."
The palace owner's half-crying, half-smiling expression became even more 'weird': "The world is like a chessboard, it's just a matter of inches."
"When two sides play chess, the temporary gains and losses are nothing."
"After all, they just don't want my Black and White Academy to be above them."
"In that case..."
"Then don't be above them."
"But it is a pipe dream for them to make profits so easily."
"Draw me up a list."
"May I ask the Palace Master, what is the list?"
"Among the other seven regions and one state, here is a list of the 'first-class forces' that are worth paying attention to and have potential."
"List them all, not one less."
"I'd like to see..."
"After this, do they have anything else to say?"
