With my nine meridians taken away, I will prove my invincibility with the Demon Seed!

The Emperor's bedroom.

"Father!" Feng Ao rushed to the Emperor's bedside.

Feng Huang lay on the bed, his breath weak, his face extremely haggard and aged, and covered with a layer of black.

He was extremely weak, and his very life force was about to perish.

Upon hearing Feng Ao's voice, Feng Huang seemed to open his eyes with great difficulty.

There was no light in his eyes.

"Ao'er..."

"You silly boy... You were doing just fine at Tianxuan Palace in Tianxing Martial Academy... Why did you come back?"

Feng Huang wanted to raise his hand to rub Feng Ao's head, but his arm only went halfway before falling limply to the ground.

Feng Ao hurriedly grasped the Emperor's hand, choking back tears, "Father, I am a disciple of the Great Feng royal family. Now that treacherous officials have rebelled, even if I am weak, I cannot remain indifferent..."

He did not mention that he had been tricked into leaving Tianxing Martial Academy by Li Xiang, a traitorous general of Fengyu Guard.

The Wind Emperor coughed violently.

"Help me sit up..."

"Mmm." Feng Ao nodded and carefully helped Feng Huang sit up.

As Feng Huang leaned against the headboard, he noticed Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er standing to the side.

"This junior, Qin Yi, a disciple of Tianxuan Palace from Tianxing Martial Academy, pays respects to Emperor Feng." Qin Yi bowed respectfully.

After all, he was the ruler of the dynasty and Feng Linglong's father. Even though he was practically on the verge of death, he still deserved the respect due to him.

"This junior, Yun Meng'er, a disciple of Tianxuan Palace from Tianxing Martial Academy, pays respects to Emperor Feng." Yun Meng'er followed Qin Yi and bowed.

A look of surprise appeared in Feng Huang's cloudy and dim eyes.

Even though he was the ruler of the Great Wind Dynasty, he had heard of Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er and knew a lot about them.

Not only is the Golden Core prodigy famous, but also, and perhaps most importantly, his daughter Feng Linglong and his son Feng Ao have an extraordinary relationship with Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er.

Feng Ao: "Father, I am very grateful for their help in returning this time. Moreover, Qin Yi has taken control of some of the assassins in Purgatory, and even the people from the Purgatory Blood Killing Hall in our imperial city can now be used by us."

Feng Ao didn't tell Lu Bingke, the Grand General of the Fengyu Guard, this secret.

Neither Lu Bing, the Grand General of the Wind Feather Guard, nor Song Yu, the Lord of Dingfeng Prefecture, who had guessed Qin Yi's identity, nor the withered wood Taoist, could have imagined that Qin Yi had already taken control of the Blood Slaughter Hall of Purgatory.

At most, they felt that Feng Ao, representing the Great Wind Royal Family, had offered a temptation that the Lord of Purgatory, the Deadly Scholar, could not refuse. Therefore, the profit-driven Purgatory assassins turned against them.

In their eyes, Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er, like Feng Ao, were simply hiding within the ranks of the Purgatory Assassins.

After hearing this, Feng Huang nodded to Qin Yi and Yun Meng'er.

"Both of you are exceptional talents, possessing the potential to reach the Golden Core stage. Moreover, you are not only fellow disciples of Linglong and Ao'er, but also close friends. Normally, when the two of you come here, I would certainly give you a grand welcome."

"Unfortunately, the Great Wind Dynasty is now in turmoil."

"Under these circumstances, I am deeply grateful that you two are still willing to come and help me."

"However, the situation is out of control and the tide has turned. I will make arrangements to have the two of you, as well as Ao'er, escorted out of the palace. With the help of the Purgatory Assassins, we should be able to evacuate the capital and return to the Heavenly Star Martial Academy as soon as possible."

"Father..." Feng Ao said, "I'm not leaving!"

The Wind Emperor said, "You must leave. You must preserve a spark for our Great Wind Royal Family!"

Qin Yi stepped forward: "I won't leave like this either."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so pessimistic. The situation may not be as bad as you think."

"As we were leaving Tianxing Martial Academy, Prince Chu Huai Ren of the Great Chu Dynasty was already trying to persuade the Emperor of Chu to give up the pressure on the border of the Great Feng Dynasty. If he succeeds, a large army stationed on the border of the Great Feng Dynasty is now on its way back to the capital."

"Besides that, the most important thing I've come here to do is still not done."

"Please inform me, Wind Emperor, where is Senior Sister Wind currently?"

Feng Ao also asked, "Father, where did my sister go? How is she?"

The Wind Emperor sighed, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Linglong led people into the Wind Pool Secret Realm."

"Where is the Wind Pool Secret Realm?" Qin Yi immediately asked.

Feng Ao looked at Qin Yi and said, "The entrance to the Wind Pool Secret Realm is inside the Imperial Palace; that is the foundation of our Great Wind Royal Family!"

Qin Yi's eyes flashed. The entrance to the Wind Pool Secret Realm was inside the palace, which made things much easier.

The Wind Emperor continued, "In the Great Wind Imperial City, there is a great formation called the Nine Heavens Gale Formation."

"I could have controlled this formation. In addition, there was a formation master loyal to the Dafeng royal family who could control it. If the power of this formation could be activated, the Song family of Dingfeng Prefecture would not be able to cause any trouble in the capital."

"Song Yu was well aware of this, so he poisoned me and murdered me at the same time, killing the array master who could control the Nine Heavens Gale Array, rendering the Nine Heavens Gale Array that protected the imperial city useless."

"Our royal ancestors had anticipated this situation, so they left a contingency plan within the Wind Pool Secret Realm."

"In the Wind Pool Secret Realm, there is a Gentle Breeze Pearl. As long as you take out the Gentle Breeze Pearl, you can control the Nine Heavens Gale Array."

"And Song Yu also knows this secret."

"So, Linglong led her people into the Wind Pool Secret Realm, and Song Yu's people followed right after."

"The entrance to the Wind Pool Secret Realm has now been occupied by Song Yu's men."

"Our people and Song Yu's people engaged in a fierce battle at the entrance of the secret realm, causing the array restrictions at the entrance to become extremely chaotic... Now, even Song Yu's people can't get in."

"Those who enter the Wind Pool Secret Realm cannot come out."

After Feng Huang finished speaking, Qin Yi realized the seriousness of the situation.

Although, no one can get in right now.

However, the entrances and exits to the Wind Pool Secret Realm have been occupied by the rebels.

On the rebel side, with some time, they will definitely be able to reopen the disordered array restrictions, send reinforcements in, and surround and hunt down Feng Linglong.

In other words, Feng Linglong was trapped inside with absolutely no way out.

Even inside, Feng Linglong wasn't safe, since a group of rebels had already gone in.

Qin Yi was anxious, but suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Wind Emperor, I can enter the Wind Pool Secret Realm, but I need you to arrange for people to help me hold back the rebel army stationed at the entrance of the Wind Pool Secret Realm!" Qin Yi said solemnly.

He stretched out his palm, and a bead appeared in his hand.

The inside of this bead seemed to contain countless runes.

Yun Meng'er and Feng Ao both looked at the bead with puzzled expressions, not recognizing it at all.

The Wind Emperor glanced at it, then said with a tone of surprise, "The Ancient Luo Clan's Formation-Breaking Pearl?"

Qin Yi nodded and said, "That's right."

This Breaking Formation Pearl was something that Tang Yuan of the Cangjian Sect specially brought out to trade with Qin Yi some time ago in the ancient battlefield fragment space in order to obtain the first part of the Ten Thousand Miles Sword Technique inheritance.

Qin Yi had already experienced the effects of the Formation-Breaking Bead; it could directly create a path through the formation's restrictions!

The Wind Emperor remained silent for a moment before saying, "With this Formation-Breaking Pearl, we do indeed have a chance to reinforce Linglong."

"But this matter cannot be rushed. I will first send men to attempt breakouts from different directions. Once the rebels' attention is diverted, we will launch a thunderous offensive against the entrance to the Wind Pool Secret Realm!"

Qin Yi nodded and said, "Emperor Feng, I have a request."

Emperor Feng said, "Speak freely."

Qin Yi said, "Let me go to the place where the fighting is most intense!"

He needs a lot of Qi and blood!

Before entering the Wind Pool Secret Realm, try to cultivate your innate divine power.

The Mountain-Moving Divine Power and the Earth-Shrinking Divine Power are both very useful.

His innate supernatural power is definitely more powerful than the Mountain Moving Divine Power and the Shrinking Earth Divine Power!
