"So what if there are a lot of you? It won't affect the final result," said the Emperor in a booming voice, reaching everyone's senses.

WUUSHHH...

​​

BOOM.

Suddenly a black ball headed towards Fu Xie Lan at a speed that the eyes couldn't see. Luckily the girl had quick reflexes so she could create protective magic before it reached her.

The protective magic in the form of a shield with complex runes filling it seemed to hold the ball for a moment then slowly absorbed and merged with Fu Xie Lan's magic.

Everyone suddenly held their breath at the sight.

Immediately the air temperature that previously felt hot suddenly turned cold and eerie. Cracks in the floor almost occurred throughout the hall, traces of explosions could also be seen as far as the eye could see. Fortunately, the ceiling of the hall was tall, so they didn't have to worry too much about it collapsing and burying them in an instant.

Everyone felt so short of breath that sounded so heavy.

"DARE YOU DISTURB MY AFFAIRS? READY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES!!" growled the emperor and then attacked Fu Xie Lan again.

Gu Yi immediately moves but was restrained by Fu Xie Lan.

"You guys back off," she said and at that, a tremor resurfaced on the shattered floor causing everyone to return to their alert attitude.

The next second several tendrils of plants appeared from there, moving high up, some of the tendrils also lifted Fu Xie Lan into the air, same as the position of the emperor.

Everyone was dumbfounded again.

"FAIRY?" murmured the emperor then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, a fairy is no match for me, YOU HEAR THAT?!" finished saying that, his mouth mumbled again as if he was casting a spell.

Fu Xie Lan who saw him didn't stay still, immediately several tendrils with a blue light filling them suddenly appeared under the emperor, moving swiftly towards the man who was in midair, but unfortunately, the figure quickly dodged and caused the tendrils to fail to hit him.

Fu Xie Lan continued to do the same, to prevent the fake emperor from completing his spell.

While on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan secretly prepared her attack. And after the preparations were complete, the vines that had previously kept popping up chasing the emperor suddenly gave off a light, blue mixed with green which immediately filled the air, the light from the plant vines intertwined to form fine threads.

The emperor who saw this looked a little panicked. Since the tendrils have been bothering him to chant and finish the spell. Made him keep avoiding without realizing that something bigger was about to happen.

"GET AWAY FAKE EMPEROR!!" shouted Fu Xie Lan and immediately the nets that were created headed towards the man.

WUSSHHH...

The Emperor dodged, the net hit the ceiling of the hall and managed to create a black mark.

A disdainful smile appeared on the emperor's face when he saw the web of plants just hitting the ceiling of the hall, but at the same time, he didn't notice that something was heading his way.

BOOM

Another explosion occurred, making everyone cover their ears.

Fu Xie Lan's eyes stared at the figure that was still standing in the air.

Previously she created the net to distract her opponent to create a new attack. But her efforts failed.

The emperor was still standing intact in midair.

"Mixed blood?" The emperor's brow furrowed.

While Fu Xie Lan was still with a straight face.

Nothing happened after that, the two of them just stood still in midair as if they were judging each other.

"Hmm, fine. I want to offer you something," said the emperor suddenly relaxing his body in the air.

Fu Xie Lan did not respond.

"What if you join me? We guarantee that later you will be able to obtain the power that can match the Lord," he said smiling again. There was a slight change in his expression.

"We can stop this useless fight."

"You should know your current position. No matter how strong you are against me, you will never be able to hurt or even touch me," he said with a disdainful smile.

"I've been kind enough to give you an offer like this," he said again.

One of Fu Xie Lan's eyebrows rose. "Do I care?!" she said in a cold voice.

Hearing this, the emperor's expression darkened again.

"I've softened a bit on you guys, and the reply is like this?!" shouted the emperor.

"Using other people to gain power for oneself is something that cannot be justified," Fu Xie Lan replied flatly.

"Tch. Having a handle like that doesn't guarantee you won't be taken advantage of by others."

It turns out that you do not understand how cruel the world works," said the emperor again.

"Rejecting my offer is already a big loss for you. Do you know? No one can become strong without making a sacrifice."

About that, Fu Xie Lan slightly agreed.

Yes, indeed there will be no achievement without sacrifice.

"You're just a kid who doesn't understand how the world works," said the emperor again.

The man continued to speak but did not receive the slightest response from Fu Xie Lan.

No one noticed that on one of the palms of the emperor there was something strange. Like a mouth? And it had been moving ever since earlier, looked like it was casting a spell.

"Do you guys have any last words to say?" asked the emperor still with his position in the air, facing Fu Xie Lan.

'Miss, in that man's hands!' Hao's shout buzzed in Fu Xie Lan's head and at that very moment, the creature changed its form and rushed towards its master, right in front of the girl. As if protecting.

"Tsk, it's too late," said the emperor then slices his hand. Immediately blood dripped from it, falling to the floor.

"Be careful!!" shouted one of the participants.

At the same time, the floor they were standing on shook again. slowly all the damage that occurred in the hall returned to normal.

The irregularly cracked floor closed again neatly without the slightest dust, also, the explosion marks and cracks on the walls of the hall and the ceiling slowly disappeared.

Why did the hall return to the way it was?

What was the emperor going to do?

Everyone is in the same confusion. Without exception.

Even so, they remained vigilant. Even though the room was restored to its original state, it didn't mean that their lives would also be saved.

The palace hall recovered in an instant, even the tendrils of the plants and other creatures that had previously been in the hall disappeared.

At the same time, a carving forming an intricate pattern appeared at one point right in the center of the hall, spreading all over the room floor, walls, and even the ceiling of the hall.

It only lasted a few seconds, and that rune with intricate carvings already filled the hall.

"DESTROYED EVERYTHING."
