I was so wicked before.

On the island, Shangguan Yi and the others were also puzzled.

Why did Your Majesty... just disappear without saying a word?

For a moment, both the Alliance and the Empire were completely dumbfounded.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded for a long time.

After a long time, Ling Qi still did not make a move.

"Hmph! What a ruthless tyrant, capable of abandoning his entire empire."

Immediately, everyone in the alliance turned their gaze back to Sky Island.

In their view, Ling Qi must have abandoned everything and ascended to heaven after breaking through to the limit.

Shangguan Yi and the others were speechless and just stood there.

At this point, they certainly couldn't be sure whether His Majesty truly didn't want them anymore.

"Now that tyrant has abandoned his empire, what are we waiting for, gentlemen?"

After a long while, someone in the alliance shouted, "Let's attack now! Break through Sky Island and destroy the Empire!"

In an instant, the eyes of everyone in the alliance were filled with the boiling flames of war.

Now that Ling Qi is gone, without him, what will the empire use to fight against the alliance?

Upon hearing the alliance's words, Shangguan Yi and the others all wore solemn expressions.

Indeed, without His Majesty's presence, the Empire would be no match for the Alliance.

After all, the Empire doesn't even have a single Extreme Realm expert left, while the Alliance still has two.

"Imperial Preceptor, what... what should we do?"

Many of the empire's generals were at a loss at this point.

If war breaks out now, the empire will undoubtedly be defeated.

Although the barrier on Tian Island was personally set up by His Majesty, it can hold off the alliance for a period of time.

But if the alliance launches a full-scale attack, breaking the barrier is only a matter of time.

What exactly is His Majesty doing?

Why did they suddenly disappear at such a crucial time?

"Please do not be impatient, everyone. His Majesty... surely has some other plans."

Shangguan Yi was at a loss for what to do, so she could only reassure the troops: "We will just guard the barrier."

Now, their only hope is to hide inside this barrier and wait!

At this moment, no one knows what the final outcome will be.

But all we can do is wait!

Just then, a young man in white robes standing at the forefront of the allied army spoke up: "Gentlemen, our greatest enemy is that tyrant. Even if we expend a great deal of energy to break through the barrier and slaughter the entire Heavenly Island, what then?"

The speaker was none other than Xiao Jianyu, the strongest war god in the alliance and also the vice leader, whose strength was comparable to that of the alliance leader.

As soon as Xiao Jianyu said this, everyone fell silent.

That is indeed the case; the purpose of the alliance was to kill Ling Qi.

And now, Ling Qi is gone!

Even if we destroy his empire, what difference will it make?

He doesn't care about his empire anymore, so why should the alliance waste its energy attacking what he abandoned?

"Brother Xiao is absolutely right. That tyrant is the biggest cancer. As long as he is not eliminated, the world will not be at peace."

Standing next to Xiao Jianyu was a rather composed-looking man, who was none other than the leader of the alliance, Tang Chuxiao!

Tang Chuxiao put his hands behind his back and then slowly said, "We must find a way... to hunt down that tyrant."

"Brother Tang, do you have a plan?"

Xiao Jianyu continued, "That tyrant wiped out my entire Xiao family and killed my fellow disciples. If I cannot avenge him, I will not be able to swallow this anger."

Today, the entire alliance has assembled its forces to kill Ling Qi.

He was still not satisfied even if he killed many more people, as he ultimately failed to kill Ling Qi.

Everyone is dissatisfied!

"The only solution now is to activate the Ancient Tai Cang Formation."

Tang Chuxiao pondered and said, "Only by utilizing the Tai Cang Ancient Formation to gather the power of heaven and earth, and with the full assistance of everyone in the alliance, perhaps... there is a chance for a Limitless Realm to be born among us."

They are both at the extreme level.

If one of them were chosen, and the power of all the others were merged into that one person, along with the Tai Cang Ancient Formation, perhaps a being of the Boundless Realm could be created to hunt down Ling Qi.

But... maybe!

This is why they have never activated the Tai Cang Ancient Formation.

Because if we fail to break through in the end, it means that all our efforts and hard work will be in vain.

"Moreover... only one person from among you and me can be born into the Limitless Realm."

Tang Chuxiao continued, "No matter who it is, even if they succeed in the end, when they go to hunt down that tyrant... they will be all alone, without any reinforcements. At that time, they may not only fail to kill that tyrant, but also die at his hands."

Hearing this, Xiao Jianyu frowned.

After a moment's hesitation, he turned around and roared, "Gentlemen, if that tyrant doesn't die, are you... willing to accept this?"

"We all harbored a deep hatred for that tyrant, yet we failed to kill him. Do you all accept this ending?"

"If you don't accept that, then...we'll take a gamble!"

"If you all trust me, Xiao Jianyu, please lend me a hand."

"I will do everything in my power to reach the Limitless Realm, travel to the higher plane, and hunt down that tyrant!"

"We still have a chance, our only chance, and the sooner the better!"

Because of the prolonged time, no one knows whether that tyrant will become even stronger in the higher plane.

Upon hearing this, all the allied armies frowned.

Yes, everyone is here to avenge Ling Qi. If we fail to kill him in the end, what does all our previous actions amount to?

"Brother Xiao, this method is acceptable, but going alone to find that tyrant is extremely dangerous."

Tang Chuxiao continued, "Let me handle this!"

"Brother Tang!"

Xiao Jianyu said solemnly, "You are the leader of the alliance, and the alliance needs you. I... have always been used to working alone, so it is most appropriate for me to handle this matter."

Indeed, going to find Ling Qi alone is a very dangerous thing.

But that's precisely why he should be the one to do it.

Because he had no relatives or friends, and had lived from his youth to the present day with only one purpose: to personally kill his great enemy.

Tang Chuxiao, as the leader of the alliance, could stay and continue to lead the entire alliance against the empire.

Ling Qi was entrusted to himself, while the empire was entrusted to Tang Chuxiao.

"This..." Tang Chuxiao was still hesitating.

"Brother Tang, there's no need for further words. This mission is none other than mine," Xiao Jianyu said solemnly.

Tang Chuxiao took a deep breath and then simply nodded.

He then addressed the allied army: "In that case, gentlemen... please do not hesitate!"

Hearing the words of the alliance leader and deputy leader, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a moment, they all nodded emphatically.

Yes, they were all unwilling to accept that Ling Qi was still alive.

Since that's the case, let's unite everyone's strength and take a gamble!

"Withdraw the troops!"

Tang Chuxiao immediately gave the order.

There is no need to focus all our efforts on attacking Tian Island now.

Instead, it should be kept to help Xiao Jianyu break through his limits and ascend to immortality.

Immediately, under the leadership of Tang Chuxiao and Xiao Jianyu, spatial distortions appeared one after another, and everyone retreated...

Inside the Sky Island barrier, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief as they watched the Alliance army depart.

Without Ling Qi around, they were naturally afraid of going to war with the alliance.

"Could all of this... be part of His Majesty's plan?"

Shangguan Yi narrowed her eyes slightly.

Upon hearing this, all eyes turned to her: "What does the Imperial Advisor mean by this?"

"Gentlemen, the Alliance's last trump card is the Tai Cang Ancient Formation. His Majesty's sudden departure is probably... intended to allow the Alliance to completely deplete this last trump card."

Shangguan Yi explained, "Once this trump card is gone, from now on, the entire empire will truly be free from any threat."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! I see!"

Shangguan Yi shook her head slightly, looking up at the sky.

Your Majesty, this is all I can do to cover for you. As for what you are really planning, I have no idea.

Also, why was that female demon lord so angry just now?
