No!"
"That isn't true. I met my father afterwards, and he doesn't seem to be possessed by one." Xiao Mei was dumbfounded at first, but her gaze flickered with hope.
She clearly remembered that before her father was beheaded, he had also helped her set up her dowry.
Unlike now, the former Heavenly Emperor was normal at that time. He wasn't possessed by the Phaseless Devil then.
...
On the side, Xiao Yanran looked sympathetically at Xiao Mei.
Gradually, everything would unfold, Xiao Yanran thought.
Moreover, there seemed to be a different reason for the former Heavenly Emperor's death back then.
Xiao Yanran feared that Xiao Mei wouldn't be able to live without her hatred in the future.
Raising her head, Xiao Yanran's expression immediately turned complicated as she peered over the screen above.
After all, it seemed about time the former Heavenly Emperor was publicly beheaded, and her brother would ascend to the throne and become the ruthless and cold Heavenly Emperor.
In spite of her deep gratitude for her brother, the Heavenly Emperor, Xiao Yanran cannot be sure that she would remain grateful after watching him commit evil deeds.
...
Lin Feng looked dumbfounded as he swept his gaze around the crowd.
To be honest, he believed that it was the Heavenly Emperor who the Phaseless Devil possessed.
However, it never occurred to him that the Phaseless Devil would possess the former Heavenly Emperor.
"He was Sister Xiao Mei's father. How could the Phaseless Devil possess him? Shouldn't the Phaseless Devil possess corrupt people instead?" Lin Feng muttered in his heart while looking at Xiao Mei nervously.
At this moment, Xiao Mei's expression changed like that of Xiao Yanran, the Demon Queen, and Teng Gang.
Thankfully, Xiao Mei looked stunned at the moment, and she showed no sign of rebellion.
However, seeing her in this state already made Lin Feng uncomfortable.
Earlier, Xiao Yanran, the Demon Queen, and Teng Gang had all experienced the same thing, and in the end...
Hence, Lin Feng was terrified at the thought that he might be abandoned by Sister Xiao Mei as well.
At this moment, Lin Feng wanted to slap himself because Xiao Yanran and Xiao Mei intended to leave immediately without watching the screen.
So, if they had just left, perhaps they wouldn't have seen the current scene.
"Sister Xiao Mei, why don't we stop watching right now? Either way, I'm sure that the former Heavenly Emperor will recover soon." Lin Feng smiled weakly and walked to Xiao Mei's side, wanting to convince her to leave.
But the stunned Xiao Mei ignored him as if she hadn't heard him.
Lin Feng repeated himself one after another. However, the results were all the same.
A wrathful expression appeared on Lin Feng's face as he stood up again, unable to do anything but stare at the sky with helplessness.
"In the next scene, I believe images of the Heavenly Emperor doing evil deeds will start to appear due to the amount of evil he has committed."
...
(Inside The Screen In The Sky)
Lin Yan and the Phaseless Devil, who possessed the former Heavenly Emperor, faced each other.
With an icy-cold expression, Lin Yan asked, "The people of the Heavenly Palace… You killed them all?"
The Phaseless Devil could possess even the Half-Step Eternal Realm powerhouse like the Heavenly Emperor. This greatly exceeded Lin Yan's expectations.
The Phaseless Devil chuckled, "Yes, I killed them. I must say, the body of the Heavenly Emperor is indeed very strong. I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to kill everyone in the Heavenly Palace if it weren't for this Half-Step Eternal realm body of his, and I certainly wouldn't have been able ... to activate the Devil Evoking Grand Formation if it weren't for this body."
The Devil Evoking Grand Formation?
Lin Yan's expression changed slightly, and the huge light pillar he had seen before came to mind.
Upon seeing the huge light pillar for the first time, he assumed it was part of Heavenly Palace's secret. However, he never suspected that the Phaseless Devil created it.
Seeing the surprise on Lin Yan's face, the Phaseless Devil grinned and was about to continue talking.
But, suddenly, his face was twisted and hideous.
"Lin ... Yan ... kill me!"
From the mouth of the former Heavenly Emperor came a low, roaring voice.
Despite fatigue, there was no doubt that it was the former Heavenly Emperor's voice.
Then, another voice belonging to the Phaseless Devil emerged from the former Heavenly Emperor's mouth, "Damn, I know you are an envious individual deep in your heart. Wouldn't it be better to surrender your body and become my servant obediently?"
There was no doubt that the Phaseless Devil couldn't completely control the former Heavenly Emperor, a Half-Step Eternal Realm powerhouse.
Swoosh!
Lin Yan didn't say any more nonsense.
His figure flickered and appeared in front of the former Heavenly Emperor.
Lin Yan grabbed the former Heavenly Emperor, waved his hand to open the Celestial Divine furnace, and threw him straight into it.
Although the Phaseless Devil attempted to resist, the former Heavenly Emperor stopped it.
Amid the screaming voices of one of them, the former Heavenly Emperor's figure fell into the Celestial Divine furnace.
The burning red lotus karmic fire immediately twisted up and drowned the former Heavenly Emperor.
...
(On The Lingxuan Continent)
"The former Heavenly Emperor won't just die like that, right?"
Everyone stared at the screen above with wide-opened eyes.
Even an Eternal Realm powerhouse couldn't escape death if trapped in the Celestial Divine furnace, an Ancient Divine Artifact.
As long as they don't get released from the Celestial Divine furnace, both the former Heavenly Emperor and the Phaseless Devil would die inside it.
"There's no way the former Heavenly Emperor could have died inside the Celestial Divine furnace. He was beheaded publicly by the former Heavenly Emperor, wasn't he?" Someone murmured suspiciously
