Slap!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed over the palace, piercing the air.
Likewise.
This slap from Luk Jiajin shocked countless onlookers!
One must know.
Standing there was Emperor Hong.
Not only was he the son of the former emperor, but also the second-generation ruler. How could anyone dare to slap him publicly?
Even Emperor Hong was dumbfounded.
The State Preceptor was also shocked, wondering who on earth this person was to be so audacious.
The scene fell into a dead silence!
Suddenly.
Emperor Hong lifted his head, glaring menacingly at Luk Jiajin, and shouted, "You dare hit me?"
"Hitting you is considered light."
"Look at this world, is there any great-grandfather like you?"
Luk Jiajin snorted coldly, raised his arm, and slapped again.
Emperor Hong’s anger was overwhelming, and a murderous intent burst from his eyes.
But at that moment!
Qin Feiyang clenched his fists and shouted, "Old man, if you dare make a move, I’ll have them kill everyone related to the Qin Clan so that the Qin line ends!"
Emperor Hong roared, "You rebellious beast, don’t forget, you’re part of the Qin Clan too!"
"Didn’t you just say that I was an abandoned child?"
"What does an abandoned child have to do with your Qin Clan?"
Qin Feiyang sneered.
Emperor Hong was furious.
But at this time.
Luk Jiajin’s slap landed solidly on his face, quickly leaving a blood-red handprint.
This was not just a slap to the face but to Emperor Hong’s dignity and pride.
Being slapped twice in public, how could he face the world in the future?
He felt like going insane.
But!
He dared not move.
Nor did he dare retaliate.
Because the words Qin Feiyang said lingered like a ghost in his ears.
To kill everyone related to the Qin Clan...
If his impulsiveness truly led to the extermination of the Qin line, then even in death, he would find it hard to atone!
Slap!!!
Luk Jiajin, with a cold expression, raised his hand again, slapping Emperor Hong relentlessly.
Soon after.
Emperor Hong’s entire face was swollen, resembling a pig’s head.
Yet he seemed numb, not uttering a sound.
"It’s truly pitiful for Qin Feiyang to have a great-grandfather like you."
Finally.
Luk Jiajin shook his head with ridicule, then swaggered back to Qin Feiyang’s side.
"Have you hit enough?"
"Got it out of your system?"
"If so, then get lost quickly!"
Emperor Hong shouted hysterically at them.
The mysterious woman looked at Qin Feiyang and asked, "Do you want the throne of the Great Qin or not?"
The implication being, if Qin Feiyang wanted it, she would immediately seize it for him.
"What’s the point of having the throne?"
"Can it reunite me with my mother?"
Qin Feiyang muttered, his eyes full of disdain.
From the beginning, he had no interest in the throne; it was Emperor Hong and these people who presumptuously accused him of plotting to usurp the throne.
The mysterious woman said, "Since Qin Feiyang is not interested in the throne, let’s disperse so as not to make someone look too bad. After all, he is the famous son of Emperor Qin."
But even so, the mysterious woman was much more ruthless than Luk Jiajin.
As she finished speaking, she flickered in front of Emperor Hong, shattering his Qi Sea with one palm and then kicking his abdomen.
"Ah..."
With a piercing scream, Emperor Hong plummeted downward like a meteoroid.
"Lord Emperor Hong!"
The State Preceptor’s face changed, quickly chasing after him.
The palace guards, along with the civil and military officials, quickly flew toward Emperor Hong, their faces full of worry.
Boom!
As Emperor Hong fell, accompanied by a loud rumble, the ground instantly caved into a deep pit.
He lay in the pit, disheveled, with blood oozing from his abdomen, extremely embarrassed!
"My Lord, are you okay?"
The State Preceptor landed beside Emperor Hong, quickly helping him up.
"Qin Feiyang, don’t go too far!"
"No matter what, he is your elder."
"Even if you don’t care about family ties, you should respect the late emperor’s legacy. After all, it was the late emperor who passed the legacy to you, making you who you are now. How can you join outsiders to harm the late emperor’s own son?"
The civil and military officials gathered around Emperor Hong and the State Preceptor, glaring angrily at Qin Feiyang in the sky, indignant.
"Shut up!"
"What do you know each one of you?"
"Over the years, for the Great Qin empire, Qin Feiyang has done countless things and suffered numerous grievances..."
"And what about you?"
"Living in comfort in the Imperial Capital, I want to ask you, what right do you have to criticize him?"
Elder Qin shouted angrily.
"He’s arrogant, lawless; how could he have suffered grievances?"
"We are the ones who’ve been wronged."
"If it weren’t for his daily antics in the Imperial Capital, would we need to be on edge every day?"
"All these years, living each day felt like a year."
"Elder Qin, you were once highly respected in Great Qin; why can’t you figure it out and collude with Qin Feiyang?"
"Aren’t you afraid of carrying a stigma for eternity?"
People shouted in anger.
"As long as I can safeguard the land left by the late emperor, carrying a stigma for eternity, what does it matter?"
Elder Qin murmured, a firm belief shining in his eyes.
To protect the Great Qin, to protect its people, that was his belief.
Qin Feiyang patted Elder Qin’s shoulder, comforting him: "Don’t worry, no matter when, I will fight alongside you."
Elder Qin smiled in relief.
Thankfully there’s Qin Feiyang now, or else Great Qin would really be doomed.
An old minister stood in front of everyone, looking at Qin Feiyang and the others, saying: "I will not let you harm Emperor Hong, unless you step over my corpse!"
"Then let me grant your wish!"
The mysterious lady spoke coldly, divine might pouring down like a waterfall.
Emperor Hong pushed the old minister aside, shouting: "Don’t harm innocent people, direct your grievances at me!"
The mysterious lady sneered: "In your current state, how long can you last?"
With his Qi Sea destroyed, Emperor Hong was already a cripple; if the mysterious lady truly wanted to kill him now, she could do so with a wave of her hand.
"Emperor Hong, the young Prince has just ascended the throne, you can’t be harmed, or else Great Qin is truly finished."
"Qin Feiyang, you’re being so ruthless, aren’t you afraid of divine retribution?"
"I beg you, show mercy and spare Emperor Hong!"
"We have already lost a wise emperor, we cannot lose Emperor Hong too!"
A group of ministers cried out in sorrow.
Some even knelt on the ground, pleading desperately.
Qin Feiyang scanned the crowd, asking: "Who is this wise emperor you’re speaking of?"
A minister replied: "Naturally, it’s your and Emperor Haotian’s father."
"Haha..."
Qin Feiyang laughed heartily, mocking: "He can be called wise? I’ll spare Emperor Hong, but I want him to kneel!"
"Dream on!"
Emperor Hong roared in anger.
"Qin Feiyang, you’re really crossing the line!"
"What virtues or abilities do you have that warrant Emperor Hong to kneel to you?"
"Moreover, he is your great-grandpa, can you bear it?"
The people roared in rage.
Qin Feiyang said: "Naturally, I can’t bear it, but I’m not asking him to kneel to me. I want him to kneel to our ancestors, to repent before the statue of his forefathers."
Emperor Hong retorted angrily: "What mistakes have I made that require repentance?"
Qin Feiyang replied: "You still haven’t realized your mistakes until now, you are truly beyond saving. I don’t want to hear any more nonsense, just tell me, will you kneel or not?"
"I won’t kneel!"
Emperor Hong declared.
"Since that’s the case, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
Qin Feiyang’s eyes flashed with a killing intent, and the Thunder Leopard’s three beasts appeared out of thin air, saying: "Go, capture all the princesses and the young Prince for me. I will end the Qin Clan’s lineage right now!"
"No problem!"
The Thunder Leopard laughed sinisterly.
"You beast, you truly deserve to be torn apart!"
Emperor Hong was filled with grief and anger.
Qin Feiyang glanced at Emperor Hong, then looked at the three beasts, shouting: "What are you waiting for? Go quickly!"
"Alright!"
The three beasts cheered and swooped down.
Emperor Hong’s gaze trembled, and he hurriedly shouted: "No no no, call them back, I’ll kneel, I’ll kneel immediately."
With that.
He gritted his teeth and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Return."
Qin Feiyang commanded.
"This is so boring."
The Thunder Leopard’s three beasts pursed their lips in displeasure and returned to Qin Feiyang’s side.
Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and a wave of battle intent surged out, flooding into the ground below.
The earth trembled instantly, dirt flying everywhere.
Before long.
A divine statue, holding a broken sword and towering over ten feet tall, emerged, standing in front of Emperor Hong.
Looking at the statue, Emperor Hong’s heart was filled with sorrow, and he shouted: "Father, why did you pass the legacy to that unfilial beast!"
"The unfilial one is you."
Qin Feiyang snorted coldly, his gaze shifted to the State Preceptor, saying: "You kneel too!"
"Why should I?"
The State Preceptor was stunned and immediately became furious.
Qin Feiyang sneered: "As a minister of Great Qin, do you need a reason to kneel before the late Emperor? Or is it that you are the one who truly wants to usurp the throne?"
The State Preceptor’s body trembled, suppressing his anger, he knelt beside Emperor Hong.
Qin Feiyang had spoken so clearly, if he still refused to kneel, it would be tantamount to a tacit admission.
It’s known.
Right now, all the court officials, and the citizens of the Imperial City, are watching!
An old minister said: "Since they are kneeling, we will kneel as well, to accompany Emperor Hong and the State Preceptor."
"Yes."
"At this moment, we must unite and face the outside together!"
The other ministers nodded repeatedly, glaring at Qin Feiyang.
"Suit yourselves."
Qin Feiyang said indifferently.
Lu Xingchen shook his head and sighed: "It’s laughable that Qin Batian, who was wise for a lifetime, would have a foolish son like you."
"Do not desecrate my father!"
Emperor Hong looked up, glaring sinisterly at Lu Xingchen.
"I wouldn’t stoop so low!"
"In the future, do not let me hear of you bullying Brother Qin in the Imperial Capital, or it won’t end as easily as today."
"Changyun, Changfeng, let’s go."
Lu Xingchen sneered, waved his hand, and left with Mu Changyun and Mu Changfeng.
Wang Su glanced at Qin Feiyang and the others, then turned away without speaking.
But the mysterious lady did not leave.
Luk Jiajin also stayed.
Emperor Hong looked at Qin Feiyang, Elder Qin, the mysterious lady, and Luk Jiajin, saying: "Aren’t you leaving?"
"I’ll say it one last time, don’t shout and scream in my presence. If you anger me, even the Heavenly King can’t save you."
The mysterious lady coldly looked down at Emperor Hong.
"You..."
Emperor Hong blustered angrily.
The mysterious lady sneered, then turned to Qin Feiyang, saying: "It’s time we settled our accounts, but there are too many idle people here, let’s find a place with no one."
Qin Feiyang’s eyelid twitched.
He knew this woman wouldn’t let things go so easily.
