World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 2231 - 1105: The Death of Qingxuan! Zhi Yan’s Soul

Even in the last second before death, Bulo was desperately begging for mercy.

Then, in an instant, it was completely silent.

Bulo is dead!

This once supreme ruler of the Lunar Holy Palace, viewed as a deity by all priests of the Lunar Holy Palace, just died like that!

Like a commoner, even worse than the monkeys on the surface of the Dragon Demon Planet. Died so miserably, so pathetic.

Qingxuan and Void Yan, even unable to react, just quietly gazed at Bulo’s head.

Though silent, it seemed as if they felt something inside crumbling and disintegrating.

That is the pride of the Lunar Holy Palace!

The pride of the Dragon Temple, the Sky Holy Palace was dismantled like this. Shi Tian was first soaked in a cesspool and then hung to death, dying hunched like a monkey.

Back then, the dignity and pride of the Sky Holy Palace were completely trampled into the ground by Lanling.

Now Ning Wuya and Tian Daoqi have long abandoned the supreme pride of the Sky priests, seeking humbly for a prince worthy of assistance and allegiance, striving once again to rise above.

Because there’s a large group of people behind them, if they can’t rise, that group can only live in constant shame until death.

Now it’s the turn of the Lunar Holy Palace.

Even when Lanling was demonstrating great might, Qingxuan was still bluffing, forcibly maintaining a ridiculous sense of superiority.

And now with Bulo’s submission, dying!

This sense of superiority was completely shattered!

Because Void Yan and Qingxuan realized, people of the Lunar Holy Palace can also die!

Death is a very distant concept for the bloodline of the Void carriers, yes, they too experience birth, aging, and death, but largely just to avoid a life that’s too monotonous. They can constantly reincarnate, thus achieving immortality in a different way.

And now, Bulo’s Void bloodline was directly withdrawn, head severed, completely dead, with no chance of coming back.

Like Bulo, Qingxuan and Void Yan certainly are no exception!

Now these two, in front of Lanling, have no shred of pride left!

Lanling gazed at them and said, "Now, what do you think?"

Void Yan hesitated momentarily, then immediately knelt, forehead touching the ground, saying, "Your servant deserves ten thousand deaths, but in consideration of your servant’s ignorance, spare our lives."

Lanling said nothing.

Void Yan said "our," intending to save the lives of all priests of the Lunar Holy Palace, hence Lanling did not reply.

Void Yan said, "A guilty servant is no longer qualified to possess the Void bloodline, may Your Majesty withdraw it, and let us begin anew as ordinary people."

This Void Yan is indeed smart.

Lanling smiled and nodded, then looked at Qingxuan and said, "Lady Qingxuan, how about now? Is your mind clear? Are your knees soft? Can you kneel?"

Qingxuan said, "Your Majesty, the Lunar Holy Palace has long implemented an elite democratic system. The virtues and flaws aside, there is something very admirable, which is equality, abolishing the kneeling rite. As a wise leader, forcing us to kneel is not regressing in history?"

"Well said..." Lanling said, "That part is especially well said, what you do not wish done to yourself, do not do to others. The most precious thing in the world is equality, the kneeling rite is definitely the scrap of civilization, I fully acknowledge this. But... is there equality in the Lunar Holy Palace? Dividing the world into nine tiers, the lower-tier masses are like machines, like slaves. And each tier of class has no chance to turn around, no channel to ascend. You people at the pyramid’s apex play elite democracy behind closed doors, talking about equality to me here?"

Lanling’s eyes narrowed, said, "Tang Mo, come in."

Miss Tang Mo, an eighth-level citizen of lunar civilization and assistant of the candidate council member, walked in.

Lanling smiled and said, "Lady Qingxuan, you said I like others kneeling to me, indeed that is a perverse interest, also a scrap. But the ones I like are those who kneel to me, the pitiful ones who often kneel to others, I want them to stand up. And you who force others to kneel, I want you to kneel, understand?"

Tang Mo’s beautiful face trembled, then she knelt down.

Qingxuan’s whole body trembled, her beautiful face convulsing continually, she wasn’t truly unyielding, merely conducting a different kind of opportunism, being pretentious.

Qingxuan still stood upright and said, "Gods are merciful to the world, how can anyone take pleasure in torturing others..."

Before she finished, suddenly her delicate body felt icy, then the whole person became weak.

Because, her Void bloodline was extracted.

"Void Yan and Tang Mo, execute." Lanling said.

Upon hearing this, Qingxuan nearly lost control in fear, crying out, "Why is it like this, why is it like this?"

Void Yan stepped forward, forcing Qingxuan to kneel on the ground.

At this moment, Qingxuan’s legs were already limp like noodles, effortlessly kneeling, totally without any resolve.

She relied on her beauty, relied on having once shared conjugal relations with Lanling, conducting pretentious opportunism, playing with her personality. It’s that kind of thing where, I know you’re incredible, Lanling, but I just don’t care for you, still wanting you to indulge me, grant me wealth and power. Because countless novels say so, the domineering men in them fall for this.

Tang Mo raised a large sword high.

Qingxuan, trembling all over, like an inmate before execution, cried out miserably, "Spare my life, Your Majesty, spare your servant’s life, for the sake of a hundred days’ kindness from one night of marriage, one night of marriage, a hundred days’ kindness!"

When Lanling killed Ji Xiuning and Kui Sisi, there was once unwillingness.

But this woman in front of him, truly as light as a feather.

"Do it!" Lanling said.

Tang Mo fiercely slashed down!

"Swish..."

Blood spurted, Qingxuan’s beautiful head rolled, face still carrying endless fear.

The second ruling priest of the Lunar Holy Palace, Qingxuan, once the concubine of the Demon Empire Emperor, decapitated, died untimely.

After killing Qingxuan, Lanling’s gaze fell on Tang Mo.

She immediately prostrated herself on the ground, then lifted her beautiful face, showing a fawning smile toward Lanling.

Lanling ignored her, his gaze fell again on Void Yan’s face.

Void Yan prostrated on the ground, forehead closely against the ground, awaiting Lanling’s judgment.

"The Dragon Demon Empire remains, but the Lunar Holy Palace is dissolved, reorganized into the Dragon Demon Council. All ruling priests, Moon Priests, and bloodline of the Void carriers are all demoted to commoners, bloodline reclaimed, spared your lives, start anew." Lanling said, "From now on, whatever status you desire, rely on your hands and minds, not your lineage."

Void Yan seemed collapsed, crying out, "The commoner thanks Your Majesty’s grace, long live, long live, long long live!"

Tang Mo sat up straight on her knees, looking at Lanling with anticipation.

She wished to receive a decree, like promotion to the Dragon Demon Council, but what she most desired was a decree to become one of the concubines of the Dragon Demon Emperor.

But Lanling ignored her, left directly.

...

Lanling entered a room where Zhi Yan was calmly reading, very quietly. Upon seeing Lanling arrive, she immediately stood elegantly, waiting for Lanling’s orders.

Lanling said, "Bulo once cloned another me, trying to trick me into going to the Void Abyss to die, more importantly, wanting to deceive my brain for the Yao Xing. Of course, he couldn’t clone another me. So, are you the real Zhi Yan, or an intelligent being?"

Zhi Yan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I should be real, I believe so, because I can feel my own existence."

Lanling closed his eyes to explore Zhi Yan’s soul.

Whether she’s an intelligent being, or a real person!

The result is, she truly is a genuine human soul, not a clone.
