Shen Qingluan froze as she looked at the person in front of her with fascination. A hint of amazement flashed in her gaze.
The skilled masters also stopped rushing to her, and all their eyes were fixed upon the person above.
It was as if the entire sky were reflected by her stunning beauty, making the sunset even more beautiful than ever.
“You…”
Suddenly, someone among the crowd let out a shocked voice, trembling. “You are… The Ninth Emperor?”
The figure in red turned and looked at the person who spoke.
People could not see her face but could feel her eyes move.
Even her voice was so intense and shocking.
“Did you kill all these people just now?”
Her words were cold and unnerving.
Shen Qingluan finally regained her senses and kneeled on the ground. Her voice was filled with grief and anger. “Their young master of Xuan Ming Clan took advantage of me the last time and forced me to be his concubine. I didn’t want to, so they slaughtered everyone in this city.”
She did not want to be his concubine. She did not want to be with someone she did not love, so why did they involve so many innocent people?
Until now, Shen Qingluan did not understand why the influential people in this world were so arrogant and cruel…
She trembled slightly.
The Ninth Emperor descended from the sky and approached the young girl kneeling on the ground.
She placed her hand in front of her, and there was a hint of warmth on her cold expression.
“Stand up…”
However, her voice was so domineering.
Shen Qingluan froze and looked at the Ninth Emperor in confusion, but she still put her hand on her palm and slowly rose from the ground with her help.
“Remember, don’t kneel before anyone, even me. Never!” The Ninth Emperor slowly turned and glanced at the crowd. Her gaze was cold and heartless, and her voice was as bland as the wind. “Because the ones who should kneel are them.”
Endless energy surged around her, raising a storm in the city. This storm was cold, making people shudder.
“Ninth Emperor!” One of the skilled masters was shocked. “Why would you want to meddle in this troublesome business? Numerous forces in this mainland have long been dissatisfied with you. In this tough world, the weak are not qualified to survive And you…”
Poof!
As soon as the man said that, a sword appeared out of thin air and pierced through his body.
His eyes widened abruptly, and he fell backward with a thud into a pool of blood.
The Ninth Emperor put the sword back and looked at Shen Qingluan next to her expressionlessly. “Are there any other alive men in this city?”
Shen Qingluan’s heart ached, and she shook her head. She lowered her gaze that was filled with grief and pain.
“There are no more…”
“Oh…”
The Ninth Emperor nodded with empathy, “I get it, so…”
She offered her hand and pulled Shen Qingluan to her, holding her waist tightly.
Shen Qingluan looked up and into the Ninth Emperor’s eyes. Her heart suddenly beat faster, and she quickly lowered her gaze.
She acknowledged that if it were not for the Ninth Emperor, perhaps she would not have survived today, let alone taken revenge.
She owed the Ninth Emperor and must spend her entire life to repay her.
The Ninth Emperor raised her hands…
The ground suddenly burst into flames and was like a dragon, engulfing all the people before them. They burned in the fire and could not even escape it.
