Chapter 28: Now Let Me Guard You! (2)
He saw more black mucus fall, and it was too late to evacuate the people.
“Escape the city!”
A ray of light flashed in Zhao Haiya’s eyes.
At this time, he knew he could never take the lead in escaping.
Boom!
His momentum rose to the sky.
Zhao Haiya used his spirit Qi to weave a net over his head, hoping it would stop the black mucus even for a moment.
Just as he was about to move forward, a white, fat figure suddenly stood before him.
“Let me do it.”
Wen Su said.
“You?”
Zhao Haiya frowned.
He didn’t know that Wen Su was the father of Ling Yue and the last emperor of Nanwang Country. To his knowledge, Wen Su was merely an ordinary cultivator at the Golden Core Stage.
“Let me do it,” Zhao Haiya said. “You should take the others away quickly. Take as many as you can.”
Wen Su shook his head. His eyes were full of determination as he spoke with confidence, “There is no time to explain. This is my country. The people here are my people. I should be the one guarding them!”
“Huh?”
Zhao Haiya was stunned.
Isn’t Ling Yue the emperor of Nanwang Country?
This guy…
Somehow, when looking at Wen Su, a part of him believed those words.
Wen Su’s body suddenly emitted a green light.
He floated slowly into the air, the sight drawing everyone’s attention.
From above, Wen Su gazed down at Nanwang City.
Despair, hope, family, friendship, love…
It was so colorful, so beautiful.
Nanwang City remained just as he remembered!
He thought of the past.
After his death, his soul hadn’t disappeared but had inadvertently merged with the Spirit Tool hidden under Nanwang City, granting him power.
At that time, he had sensed something unusual in another Spirit Tool hidden beneath the royal city.
But his power was limited.
He had discovered Tao Hui’s plot and evil intentions, yet he could change nothing.
He hadn’t dared reveal himself, knowing Tao Hui would destroy him instantly if discovered.
It was Bai Lian’s sudden arrival that changed everything and gave him hope.
He was grateful to Bai Lian, Zhao Haiya, and everyone who had contributed their strength to protect Nanwang City.
Without them, Nanwang City would have fallen to these villains.
Now it was his turn to end all this.
This was his destiny. Why else would he have merged with that Spirit Tool?
It was time.
Wen Su’s soul burned.
The green light grew more dazzling, and beneath its radiance, Wen Su’s body transformed.
He aged, becoming more dignified.
He once again became the emperor who had once led Nanwang’s people.
Buzz—
The earth trembled as a green shield materialized in the sky above Nanwang City.
Out, out.
Wen Su smiled, though it seemed tinged with pain.
He clenched his fists tightly. Not yet—he had to hold on until the black mucus was gone.
However, his strength was still too weak. He was, after all, only human.
His consciousness began to fade. Was this his limit?
Zhao Haiya stared at everything unfolding before him.
Could he really be just a Golden Core Stage cultivator?
Suddenly, he heard a cry of surprise.
“Hey… isn’t that the old emperor?”
He looked over to see a wounded veteran shouting.
The veteran’s cries drew many people’s attention.
That figure—there was no mistake!
“Old emperor, it really is our old emperor!”
“The old emperor has returned!”
“Nanwang City is saved!”
The shouts grew louder and louder until they merged into a thunderous roar.
The old emperor, the old emperor…
Wen Su heard it all.
Those emotional calls helped him find clarity through his weakening state.
He heard many stories being told—some spoke of fighting alongside the old emperor, others of how he had donated money to help the poor.
Others said…
The people of Nanwang still remembered him.
Despite the pain, Wen Su felt infinite power flowing through his body.
In the past, the people of Nanwang City had protected him, but now he could finally hold his head high and say he was the one protecting Nanwang City.
“Expand!”
With a desperate roar, Wen Su’s body blazed with even more brilliant green light.
He gave everything he had.
He forced the shield to expand further and further.
Woosh.
The shield suddenly shot skyward at incredible speed, striking the thick darkness. No matter how the black mucus struggled, it could not breach the barrier.
“How?”
Tao Hui’s Dharma Body was stunned.
He had no idea what had happened.
What was this!
He was about to break down. Was this also part of Bai Lian’s plan?
Then everything he had done was just a joke!
Had he been merely an insignificant insect in Bai Lian’s eyes?
I…
Tao Hui roared from the depths of his soul.
Then a white-clad figure appeared before him.
Following came a cold voice:
“It seems you have no other moves.”
“No, no, no…”
Tao Hui’s Dharma Body shook violently.
It couldn’t be, it couldn’t be!
Tao Hui was completely engulfed in flames.
But Bai Lian’s anger blazed even fiercer.
Swish.
The Dirt Free Sword descended upon Tao Hui’s shoulder with cold light.
“Now I will let you taste despair!”
