World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 2127 - 1012: The Ji Clan Is Annihilated! Attack on Yin Zhou!

Zhi Yu’s words finally crushed the psychological defense of Yan Crown Prince. Unable to hold back any longer, he angrily said: "What you are doing now is no different from those petty people who gain power, those who suddenly rise from poverty to wealth. Such outrageous actions, I’d like to see how long you can keep it up!"

He had endured for a very, very long time.

Moreover, he never adjusted his mindset. As Yan Crown Prince, the heir to the most powerful worldly sovereignty, he had a deep understanding of power, but not of personal force. In his decades-long belief, the Flame Empire had been the world overlord for over a century, deeming the nobility of the Ji Family as heaven’s gift, thus looking down on everyone else.

When he was at Shenlong Academy, how could he have seen the existence of Zhi Ning and Zhi Li in his eyes? Now, as he came to pay his respects to Demon Emperor Lanling, in his view, it felt like the late Ming Dynasty’s Hong Chengchou meeting Huang Taiji. Although I cannot beat you, Lord Suo Lun, I mentally look down on you. I belong to the millennia-old Hua Clan, and you are nothing but a barbaric wildling.

But Lord Suo Lun wouldn’t see him, and instead, a teenager came out to speak so boldly. He couldn’t bear it any longer.

Zhi Yu wasn’t angry either. He looked at the face of Yan Crown Prince and smiled, saying: "Even at this moment, you still feel superior, how amusing."

Then, Zhi Yu shouted: "Grandfather Gui Xingfu, come out."

Gui Qinshao also had a child who calls Gui Xingfu as grandfather. This child and Zhi Yu are brothers, so he also called him grandfather.

Gui Xingfu walked out and bowed, saying: "Your Highness."

Zhi Yu said: "Left Minister, how do you completely erase someone’s sense of superiority?"

Gui Xingfu said: "Your Highness must already have the answer."

Zhi Yu said: "Father once said, no matter how charming, wealthy, or powerful a man is, if you castrate him, he loses everything."

Gui Xingfu smirked. Is the future lord of Rage Wave already this... bold?

"Someone, castrate Yan Crown Prince." Zhi Yu ordered.

Yan Crown Prince’s soul flew out of him, and he couldn’t help but launch directly at Zhi Yu.

However, just as his body was rising, he was immediately pinned to the ground by two death Samurais.

Then, the incredibly proud Yan Crown Prince was stripped of his robes in front of many people and was castrated alive.

"Go back." Zhi Yu said.

Then, the nearly fainted from pain Yan Crown Prince was directly thrown out.

Gui Xingfu hesitated slightly and said: "Your Highness, you should have reported to Your Majesty first before punishing the Yan Crown Prince."

Zhi Yu said: "Grandfather Gui Xingfu, my father hates the Ji Clan deeply. Qi Ren is my brother, and I also hate the Ji Clan deeply. So what I did just now was revenge for Qi Ren, there is no need to report to my father."

After hearing this, Gui Xingfu immediately bowed deeply, saying no more.

He had heard of Ji Xiuning’s story, who, in order to frame Lanling, was willing to use her own son as a tool, even had a pair of twin children with Lanling. When she was about to defect to Flame Demon Empire, she even used her children’s lives as a threat to let Di Nie release her, and even poisoned her own son Qi Ren, causing him great torment, even his arms twisted and deformed.

Such madness, I’m afraid Gui Xingfu would not do even at his most vicious.

And now, Qi Ren’s arms have been treated by Lanling and he’s living under Dina’s care, together with Lan Suo. As for Ji Xiuning’s twins, they are raised under Di Nie’s name.

...

When Yan Crown Prince returned to Yanjing, Bingren had already led an army of 100,000 to the city gates.

Yan Crown Prince knelt, trembling, before the Flame Emperor, and said: "Suo Lun’s son Zhi Yu himself said, except for Ji Min, the entire Ji Family deserves to die, and we should wash our necks clean."

Immediately, Flame Emperor staggered.

For a long time, he and Dragon Temple had supported each other, hence securing such an empire. And his daughter, despite the setbacks, also has a promising future at Sky Holy Palace.

But, what use is it all?

It cannot save his Flame Empire, nor the entire Ji Clan.

Flame Emperor took off his crown, removed his robe, dressed in thorns, and walked out of the palace to the city wall, then knelt and bowed: "This sinner pays respect to Your Majesty, Angel of Heaven, and Bingren His Highness."

Bingren sneered: "As expected of Flame Emperor, you even know me."

"I know my sins are grave, and I voluntarily abdicate, surrender the Jade Seal and national documents." Flame Emperor knelt, hands raised, offering the Jade Seal and documents, then said: "I’ve heard my daughter Ji Xiuning, who deserves to die a thousand times, once bore Your Majesty a pair of children. I wonder if those esteemed children are well, this sinner misses them dearly."

"Flame Emperor, I know what you’re thinking." Bingren coldly said: "It’s useless, those little masters have nothing to do with your Ji Clan anymore."

Then, Bingren waved his hand.

Instantly, an army of 100,000 rushed towards Yanjing like a tide.

A few hours later, Yanjing fell!

The entire Ji Clan was captured.

...

Ji Min was already thirty-three years old, yet still unwed. And he was no longer young, his legs slightly disabled, his hair half-gray, filled with the scars of time.

Back then, he helped Zhi Ning and Ashi Liren escape, angering the Yanjing Holy Temple, leading to his imprisonment and punishment, released only recently.

Zhi Ning saw him in this state, tears involuntarily filling her eyes.

Yet Zhi Yu did not display a sorrowful expression; instead, she sweetly called out, "Uncle."

Her eyes full of innocence.

"Ah..." Ji Min held Zhi Yu, stroking his head, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

It seemed as if the events of ten years ago happened only yesterday; back then, Zhi Yu was still in swaddling clothes, and now he had grown into a handsome young man.

"I originally didn’t want to come." Ji Min said, "Our Ji Family has offended Lord Suo Lun so deeply, especially Ji Xiuning, ha..."

Back then, he was arrested by the Yanjing Holy Temple. If the Flame Emperor had been willing to say a word, he would not have been tortured or had his legs broken.

However, his biological father, the Flame Emperor, in order to avoid suspicion, allowed the Yanjing Holy Temple to torment him and hold him captive for ten years, the ruthlessness evident for all to see.

"What is more intolerable is Ji Yingsha; that vile woman actually killed His Majesty Jiang Shang." Ji Min said, tears in his eyes, "His Majesty Jiang Shang was the last banner of the Human Kingdom, representing the banner of nobility and justice. That vile woman murdered His Majesty Jiang Shang, and from then on, in the eyes of Lord Suo Lun, all within the Human Kingdom are no better than pigs and dogs."

Ji Min hit the nail right on the head.

In Lanling’s heart, Jiang Shang, Jiang Xue represented the noble character of humanity.

After these two people died, it symbolized the triumph of the loathsome and vile over justice and nobility within the Human Kingdom, and there were no longer any banners left. The people who lost their noble banners became nothing more than pigs and dogs. Just like when the Sima family usurped Cao Wei, all noble and respectable banners had fallen.

"Thus I really didn’t want to come." Ji Min said, "But my father and mother knelt before me, entreating me to come to the Rage Wave Kingdom to plead with you, so I came."

Zhi Ning said, "Speak."

Ji Min said, "My ancestors, the Ji Family, were once civil officials under the Dragon Emperor. The Dragon Temple framed the Dragon Emperor, and not only did the entire Ji Family fail to seek justice for the Dragon Emperor, but they also divided the Flame Dragon Empire, seizing vast benefits for their own family. After occupying Yanjing, they even established the Flame Empire independently. This is the true act of traitorous ministers. Therefore, no matter how Your Majesty chooses to deal with my Ji Family, it is deserved. However, within the Ji Family, there are some innocent women who are pitiful. They are daughters of nobility from other countries, reduced to becoming the wives and concubines of my Ji Family. There are also some children who are still young and have not yet committed any wrongdoing. I plead for Your Majesty’s compassion."

Then, Ji Min knelt down.

Zhi Ning said, "Xiao Yu, go see your father and tell him what Uncle Ji Min said."

"Yes," Zhi Yu said.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhi Yu returned and said, "Father has agreed."

...

"Kill!" The Bingren gave the order.

The entire Ji Family of the Flame Empire, except for the innocent women and children, was executed. The surviving women and children had their memories erased and were demoted to commoners.

With this, the Ji royal family of the Flame Empire, which had dominated the Human Kingdom for over a century, was completely annihilated, leaving only Ji Min.

...

East Li Kingdom, Lijing!

The new King of Dongli knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Liren, spare me, spare me..." The new king, Jiang Li, pleaded while kowtowing desperately, "I was wrong, it was all my fault. When you and Zhi Ning sought refuge back then, I should never have refused."

Ashi Liren said, "Brother, do you think I care about that?"

Then, Ashi Liren asked, "Tell me, did you know when Ji Yingsha killed the master?"

"I didn’t know, I truly didn’t know..." Jiang Li cried bitterly, "I even thought it was the Demon Race emissary, Xixi, who killed Father."

"No, you’re lying." Suddenly, a child rushed over, pointing at Jiang Li and saying, "After Mother left Father’s room, she went to yours. She told you that from now on, you would be the King of Dongli and that you should declare the abolition of the human neutral zone and declare war on the Flame Demon Empire. Also, you knew about the poison in the grain sent to the Flame Demon Empire that killed over a hundred thousand innocent people. You not only knew, but also took part in the arrangement. When Father disinherited you as the Crown Prince, you harbored a grudge and colluded with the Dragon Temple."

The one who rushed out was Jiang Shang’s youngest son, Jiang Xi, only eight years old this year.

"Don’t think that just because I’m small, I don’t know anything." Jiang Xi said, "After Mother left Father’s room, she came to my room and stood for a while, and at that moment I was very, very scared."

Then, Jiang Xi knelt before Ashi Liren and said, "Are you Sister Liren? I beg you, avenge Father, avenge Father."

Ashi Liren embraced the child in her arms and gently said, "From now on, you will stay with Sister."

Then, she took the child away, waving her jade hand behind her.

The new King of Dongli, Jiang Li, was beheaded.

...

Meanwhile.

Demon Emperor Lanling gave an order, the Hell Knight leaderless, as Ashi Luo led an army of 300,000 to attack Yin Zhou and Demon Continent.
