''That's enough little Li! Don't play with him, we need to leave soon!'' Wang shouted to his little sister.
They had already stayed way too long in his opinion.
He worryingly looked around as he expected enemies at any moment by now.
'We would need a miracle to get out of this without another fight at this point...'
He sighed with a frown as he took off his mask. They would have noticed that he was her elder brother at this point anyway.
''I'm sorry for wasting unnecessary time, elder brother.'' Li Jing said as she cleaned the blood off her shoe with a water technique.
''No, it's okay. We might as well finish him off at this point.''
''Kill the little ones, comes the old ones. Kill the old ones, comes the big ones. Kill the big ones, comes the older and the bigger ones.'' Li Jing muttered to herself with a finger on her chin.
Her thinking face suddenly changed as she looked directly into the eyes of her elder brother with a 'I understood it' look.
''This is a 'Chain Revenge' situation you kept warning me about!''
Wang shadowed his eyes with his hand in instinct as he felt like he was seeing stars around her serious face.
'Oh no...'
He knew he didn't have the time to enjoy her cuteness.
''Get ready. Unfortunately, we are forced to destroy an empire today.'' Wang said with a fed up expression as he felt an incredibly fast object enter his detection range.
He glanced at the half dead Li Qiye before making a decision.
'Good thing we didn't kill him.'
With a flick of his wrist, he willed the body to fly towards himself.
Once the body reached his hands, he put his hand on Li Qiye's buffed and veiny chess and started doing something as his hand dimly glowed in purple.
Before even a second passed, someone burst through the airship.
It was a middle aged man. His goatee and well shaped chin gave an aura of authority. His dragon robe waved along with the wind as he stood in front of them.
His eyes passed over Li Qiye, then Wang who was holding him, then his little sister Li Jing, and finally the corpses around them.
His judging eyes turned cautious for a second before they regained their confidence.
He nodded slightly to himself as if he understood everything with a small look and then looked directly into the eyes of Wang.
''Let him down, boy.'' he said with an arrogant but authoritarian voice.
Wang on the other hand was utterly impressed.
'How did he not even wince an eyelid after seeing Li Qiye's balls?'
He couldn't help but wonder, but it wasn't the time. He silently applauded his cold personality inside his mind and moved on.
''Sure.'' Wang said as he slowly put Li Qiye into the ground.
''You know what, I have a better idea.'' he stopped putting Li Qiye to the ground and looked up to see the middle aged cultivator's cold and suspicious eyes.
''Why don't I just throw him to you?''
Wang chucked Li Qiye's unconscious body to the middle aged cultivator.
Li Qiye's body slowly flew through the air as the middle aged man, Li Yan's eyes followed it precisely.
'He wants to sneak attack when the body gets in my vision?' he quickly deduced and smirked inside.
'This level of trickery might have fooled the others, but not me. It is merely a juvenile joke to me.' he tried hard to keep his smugness inside, he did not want to show it on his face.
He could see through this trick in a matter of seconds, not only because of his long life experience, but also because of a secret that he told to no one else.
In truth, this was his second life. He didn't know how or why he could remember his past life, but he was certainly making use of it.
He used to be a peak Dao stage cultivator who was merely one step away from the legendary Emperor stage.
But before he died, he was able to secure a secret manual. The secret manual of the First Emperor!
He had to go through many loops and make many excuses, but in the end, he was able to cultivate that manual instead of the one every royal family member used.
'I am the future Emperor and the ruler of the whole world, do you really think some random brat like you can trick me?' he ridiculed him inside his head.
His eyes never left Wang and his sister even when Li Qiye's body came very close to him.
''Now, surrender and kneel bef-''
*Pak*
Li Qiye's body which was secretly filled to the brim with poisonous gas exploded and filled the almost entirety of the airship with purple mist.
His words filled with condescending voice was cut short before even he could finish his sentence as his danger senses honed through two lives flared up in an instant and warned him of the danger that was coming to him.
'What?'
He couldn't understand what happened but he trusted his senses and shielded up before even the explosion happened.
The purple mist quickly eroded his hasty shield as it was concentrated and dense enough to kill anyone under the Dao level in an instant.
Middle aged cultivator from the Empire, Li Yan's anger flared up as he felt like he was bested by a mere child, but he still didn't let go of his rationality.
Instead of attacking like a madman, he kept putting up shields as he rushed out of the airship in a hurry.
'They didn't follow up that attack, that must mean that they are already gone. They never intended to fight in the first place. Tsk, I should have realized it when I saw little Qiye's body all looted. He didn't have anything other than a few broken artifacts on him.'
As soon as he got out of the ship, he felt the spiritual trace of the two kids who rushed out even before him.
''Do you really think you can get away after that? Too bad, I was about to let you die with complete corpses.'' he sneered as he went after them along with his subordinates and his brother, little Qiye's father, the Emperor.
