Qin Muyao was silent for a moment before he said slowly, “You have never used the World-Termination-Armour.”
Ji Fengyan was slightly taken aback.
“Previously, in the battle of the capital institute, you did not use the World-Termination-Armour. Later, when you took part in battles, you did not use it at all either.” Qin Muyao narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his voice even further.
“No matter how powerful you are, the kingdom will not permit a Terminator who will not use the World-Termination-Armour to live.”
Ji Fengyan was shocked. The uncertainties in her heart suddenly cleared.
Qin Muyao’s words finally allowed her to understand why the Emperor suddenly wanted to kill her.
The secret of the Terminators.
Liu Huo had said that every time a Terminator used the World-Termination-Armour, he stimulated the demon half of his bloodline that was suppressed in his body. The more times they used it, and the more intense the battle, the more this power would be continually stimulated, and thereby awakened.
But Ji Fengyan…
Had not used the World-Termination-Armour even once.
This meant she could spend her entire life without stimulating the portion of demon bloodline in her body. The demon bloodline would remain suppressed, and unlike the other Terminators, her lifespan would not be limited to thirty-five years.
If her lifespan was extended, the other Terminators were not stupid, and someone was bound to discover the secret to Ji Fengyan’s longevity. They might also connect it to the existence of the World-Termination-Armour and the Terminators’ reduced lifespans.
Once the other Terminators followed this method to ensure their own survival, then… the World-Termination-Armour would be rendered useless. The Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon would have no way of harnessing the Terminators’ powers and preventing the demons from invading!
In order to ensure that no one discovered the secret of the World-Termination-Armour, Terminators who never used the World-Termination-Armour had to be executed…
When all this became clear to Ji Fengyan, she suddenly felt that it was hilarious.
“Is that the reason he wants to kill me? Haha… really… it’s too funny…” Ji Fengyan laughed uncontrollably.
She had yet to settle accounts with the Emperor, and the Emperor was trying to kill her to keep the secret?
Ji Fengyan finally understood why the Emperor had agreed so readily to the Eldest Princess’s suggestion that she entered the battlefield early.
Even then, the Emperor must have already been wary of her. After all, in the earlier battle of the capital institute, Ji Fengyan had exhibited outstanding fighting skills without using the World-Termination-Armour. This point had won the praise of many.
Who knew, this praise had put the Emperor on his guard.
The Emperor had repeatedly forced Ji Fengyan’s hand because he wanted to see if Ji Fengyan would use the World-Termination-Armour.
He now had the results of repeated trials.
At the same time, the intention of killing Ji Fengyan had arisen.
Qin Muyao looked in shock at Ji Fengyan, who had suddenly laughed. He felt that something about Ji Fengyan’s situation was amiss.
After a while, Ji Fengyan suddenly stopped laughing. She looked at Qin Muyao and said, “Thank you for clearing my doubts. You may go back now.”
Qin Muyao was slightly taken aback. He wanted to say something else, but he suddenly noticed that Ji Fengyan’s expression had… changed.
A smile still hung from the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were as bright as a burning fire.
“Go back. You need not do anything more here.” Ji Fengyan looked at Qin Muyao smilingly.
An uneasy feeling rose in Qin Muyao’s heart. He hesitated as he looked at Ji Fengyan, but a moment later, he suppressed his unspoken words, and slowly walked out.
