At the end of the passage was a door.
A bright light was coming from this door.
Feng Ruqing placed her hand on the door and gently pushed open the door.
The moment she saw the scene inside the door, her body suddenly froze, and she felt her goosebumps rose.
There were many ice-coffins behind the door, and in each ice-coffin laid a girl.
These girls seemed to be in a deep sleep but had already died; perhaps they had been frozen inside for a long time, even their faces were as pale as paper.
Their bodies were full of wounds, the blood frozen in their veins, but Feng Ruqing could still see what kind of torture they had faced before they died.
Feng Ruqing felt a sense of pain in her chest as if her heart was being squeezed, and her breathing grew heavy.
She slowly walked toward the ice coffins and caressed the coffins gently.
But her hand could not stop trembling…
Suddenly, a powerful force came out from these coffins and filled her entire mind.
***
What appeared in front of Feng Ruqing was a high mountain…
There was a huge gate on top of this high mountain.
However, the gate had been crushed, and half of it had fallen to the ground.
A group of men with a stern face stood outside the gate, facing a group of beautiful women.
These women were all holding long swords, guarding the entrance with cold faces.
“The Ninth Emperor is no longer here. What’s the use of you guarding here?”
The head of the group was dressed in black, smirking as he looked down at the group of women in front of him.
“She will come back.”
The one standing at the front was the woman Feng Ruqing had just caressed inside the ice-coffin; her tone was firm and unquestionable.
“She promised us that she would come back after she found Nan Changfeng.
“So we will not let anyone step into her territory. This is our home, and no one will be allowed to destroy it.”
The woman raised her head proudly.
There was no fear in her eyes… Even if these enemies in front of her were more powerful than them.
“The Ninth Emperor is already dead!” The man in black laughed.
“No, she’s not dead. She’ll come back!” The woman’s face was even colder. “We were homeless orphans and were once pursued by our enemies. The Ninth Emperor took pity on us and brought us back. This is our home, our only home! Therefore, we must guard here and wait for her to return!”
“So you are not willing to go… Then we have to make a move and avenge those who the Ninth Emperor slaughtered!”
The man in black took the lead and rushed toward those women inside the gate.
This battle was not as fierce as the Ninth Emperor’s battle, but the battlefield was still filled with a river of blood.
The sky glowed with red sunset as if it was stained red by the pool of blood in the ground…
No one dared to touch anyone here when the Ninth Emperor was around.
Now… The Ninth Emperor was gone… How could they defeat this group of men?
However, in the end, no one left.
If they lost their home, they would be like a small boat floating in the lake and could drown anytime once caught in a massive wave…
