Despite a burst of sarcasm, Li Nan knew that what had to be done, still had to be done.
What’s more, in the end, this matter was also related to him.
Without any further hesitation, Li Nan gently stepped on his foot, and only a muffled bang could be heard.
In the next instant, Li Nan’s entire body was already several thousand metres in the air.
Immediately afterwards, his body flashed and he instantly broke through the sound barrier and flew in the south-west direction.
That night, the Daga Dynasty, the old Cambodian before him.
At this time, although it was already late at night, the entire palace was lit up.
On the stone path in front of the palace gate, a man wearing a golden dragon robe was standing there with a gloomy face.
This man was the current Emperor of the Great He Dynasty, He Yuanzhou!
He Yuanzhou had been at the helm of the Da He Dynasty for hundreds of years and had fought countless battles, killing people like flies.
At this moment, however, He Yuanzhou’s entire body exuded a strong killing intent.
This murderous intent was almost materialising, so much so that even the cold winds around him were walking around him, not daring to come even the slightest bit closer!
Two hours ago, He Yuanzhou had received a phone call from his daughter He Yantong, and had also learned that his son He Guangyu had died, leaving He Yuanzhou’s entire body in a state of incomparable grief and anger.
He Yuanzhou had lived for hundreds of years and had more than thirty sons in total.
But among all these sons, the one He Yuanzhou valued the most was He Guangyu!
This was the reason why He Yuanzhou had taught He Guangyu the Immortal Ascension Technique so early in life, and had identified him as his successor!
However, He Yuanzhou had never imagined that before he could give up the throne, the prince he had identified would have passed away before him!
This was something that He Yuanzhou could not accept in any way!
At this moment, behind He Yuanzhou, hundreds of civil and military officials of the Da He Dynasty stood motionless.
Even they could feel the powerful killing aura emanating from He Yuanzhou’s body at this moment, and they all knew very well what kind of terrible things this emperor, who was known for his bloodlust for hundreds of years, would do in his rage.
At this moment, all the civil and military officials were silent, not daring to say a word.
At that moment, there was a sound of breaking air.
In the night sky, a huge palanquin was seen flying towards this direction at an astonishing speed.
This palanquin was so huge that it was like a small palace, which was spectacular.
On closer inspection, this huge palanquin was lifted by eight martial artists of extremely high cultivation.
This was a heavenly palanquin that only princes and nobles were qualified to use.
At this moment, as those eight martial artists landed on the ground at the same time, this heavenly palanquin also stopped steadily in front of He Yuanzhou.
The door of the sedan chair lifted open, and with the help of two guards, He Yantong, whose legs had been ruined, lunged straight out of the sedan chair.
When He Yuanzhou saw that his normally cheerful and lively daughter had become a ruined person with both legs in a flash, He Yuanzhou’s brow furrowed.
“Father! Woooooooo ……”
He Yan Tong directly jumped into He Yuan Zhou’s arms.
“It’s alright, with Father, everything is alright!”
He Yuanzhou said with relief.
At this moment, He Yuanzhou was most concerned about his son He Guangyu.
“Where is Guang Yu?”
He Yuanzhou asked.
As soon as the words left his mouth, several guards carried a stretcher to He Yuanzhou’s face.
On the stretcher, it was none other than He Guangyu’s corpse!
“Hiss ……”
When the civil and military officials behind him saw this scene in front of them, they all couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air, all in shock.
At the same time, all of these civil and military officials only felt a chill down their spines.
They knew very well the emperor’s temper, even if there was no reason, he could have slaughtered the whole of Lao Cang.
And now, the other side had actually killed his favourite imperial son outright, the consequences of such an act were simply unimaginable!
It was destined to be a bloodbath!
“Father, my brother he died too unjustly, he died at the hands of a worldly pariah, you must avenge him, ooooooooo ……”
He Yan Tong cried at the side.
He Yuanzhou’s face was also incomparably grim at this moment.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely take revenge for this, but right now, I have to save my son first!”
He Yuanzhou said in a cold voice.
“What …… save?!”
He Yan Tong was completely frozen.
Not only He Yantong, but even those civil and military officials behind them were all completely stunned at this moment.
The reason is that anyone could see that He Guangyu was already completely dead, so how could there be any life left in him?
But now, the emperor was saying that he wanted to save him?
This was too unbelievable.
For a moment, everyone thought that they had heard wrong.
Only an old man in a black robe changed his face.
“Your Majesty, you are not going to use ……”
This black-robed old man was called Nong Zuo, the current Chancellor of the Oga Dynasty, and because of this, Nong Zuo was able to know things that ordinary people did not know.
“That’s right, and now, it’s time to use it!”
He Yuanzhou said, and then took out a brocade box from his bosom.
The brocade box was opened, and what was contained inside, was actually a golden elixir!
“Is this the …… Soul Restoring Pill?!”
At this moment, among the civil and military officials, many of them had also understood everything.
In fact, they had never seen what this Soul Restoring Pill really looked like.
Only that, among the Great He Dynasty, there had always been rumors of the Soul Restoring Pill.
It was said that hundreds of years ago, He Yuanzhou had conquered the four directions in the True Martial Realm, and after devouring one of the countries, he had to kill all of that country’s royal family.
However, the emperor of that country instead took out two Soul Restoring Pills.
That emperor told him, He Yuanzhou, that these two Soul Restoring Pills were divine medicines that had been passed down from their ancestors.
They had the powerful power to bring life to the dead!
He Yuanzhou had never heard of such a thing in all his years of gallivanting in the sands, so he naturally did not believe the emperor’s words and thought that he was talking nonsense.
In order to prove the efficacy of the Soul Restoring Pill, the emperor killed himself with his sword under He Yuanzhou’s sword.
However, that emperor had already explained everything before he committed suicide.
When he died, he asked his crown prince to give him a Soul Restoring Pill to take.
At the same time, he also asked He Yuanzhou to promise him that if he could really survive, the last Soul Restoring Pill would be given to He Yuanzhou, on the condition that He Yuanzhou would spare the life of his royal family.
At that time, He Yuanzhou just took it as a joke and agreed to it.
But to his surprise, the emperor had actually killed himself with his sword!
And what was even more unexpected was yet to come.
After the emperor’s death, the crown prince stuffed a Soul Restoring Pill into the emperor’s mouth, just as he had instructed.
As a result, a miraculous scene occurred, and the wound on that emperor’s neck rehealed in the blink of an eye!
Subsequently, that emperor, who had already died, miraculously came back to life as well!
Such a scene shocked even He Yuanzhou, who had always been calm and collected, completely.
This Soul Restoring Pill was also obtained at that time.
As for the fallen emperor’s family, sadly, He Yuanzhou, after obtaining the Soul Restoring Pill, did not give them a way out as promised, but killed their entire royal family!
In the words of He Yuanzhou at the time, that emperor had wasted such a precious treasure and deserved to be killed!
Ever since he had obtained this Soul Restoring Pill, He Yuanzhou had always treated it like a treasure and kept it close to him every day, just in case something untoward happened to him one day.
He had never imagined that today he would have to use this Soul Restoring Pill on his own son in advance.
“Your Majesty, do you really want to do this?”
Nong Zuo was obviously somewhat opposed to this.
Because Nong Zuo, as a Chancellor, had been following He Yuanzhou for hundreds of years, the person he was most loyal to was naturally He Yuanzhou himself.
This Soul Restoring Pill could be a vital safeguard for He Yuanzhou’s life, and if it was given to He Guangyu, then He Yuanzhou would lose a major safeguard in the future, which was something that Nong Zuo, who was the Chancellor, did not want to see.
“My mind is already made up, so the Chancellor should not say any more!”
He Yuanzhou naturally understood the meaning of Nong Zuo’s words, but He Guangyu was, after all, his most valued son, and he absolutely could not stand by and watch his opponent die in front of him!
“Soul Restoring Pill? Now brother is saved!”
At the side, He Yan Tong was also surprised.
Even He Yan Tong had always thought that the Soul Restoring Pill was just a legend, but she had never thought that it would be true!
Without any more nonsense, He Yuanzhou directly stuffed the Soul Restoring Pill into He Guangyu’s mouth.
The next moment, time seemed to stand still as everyone’s eyes were focused on He Guangyu’s body.
Most of them had only heard about the legend of the Soul Restoring Pill, but had never seen it with their own eyes.
At this moment, they all wanted to see if such an ordinary-looking pill really had such a miraculous power!
In fact, not only the crowd, but even He Yuanzhou himself was a little nervous at the moment.
Even he was not sure whether this elixir left behind by that emperor back then was really real or not.
And just a dozen seconds after He Guangju swallowed the Soul Restoring Pill, a shocking scene appeared.
Only to see that the bruises on He Guang Yu’s body dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wounds also healed rapidly.
A moment later, even the ghastly white colour of a dead man’s body on He Guang Yu’s body gradually appeared the rosy colour of a living man!
Seeing this scene, all the people around were astonished.
It was true!
This Soul Restoring Pill really did have such a divine effect!
He Yuanzhou’s face also showed a look of surprise. It seemed that the emperor had really not lied to him!
