Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: The Northern Empress Rebukes

The Heavenly Fire Empress, Huo Ling'er, glared at the Dragon Empress with eyes ablaze, fury evident in her gaze.

She had narrowly escaped death at the hands of this Dragon Empress before.

Now, seeing the Dragon Empress siding with the Jade Pool Empress only fueled her rage further.

Though she was unaware of what transpired after the Dragon Empress saved Xiao Fan years ago, she recalled that both she and Xiao Fan had once saved the Dragon Empress.

Without their intervention, the Dragon Empress wouldn't be where she is today.

Yet this same Dragon Empress now sought to kill Xiao Fan with her own hands. Wasn't this akin to repaying kindness with enmity?

Alright, she had indeed once wished to tear Xiao Fan apart, much like the Dragon Empress.

But that had been a misunderstanding.

Reflecting on this, Huo Ling'er wondered if there was also some hidden truth or misunderstanding between the Dragon Empress and Xiao Fan.

Of course, to uncover the truth, they needed the Jade Pool Empress to continue using the Haotian Mirror to reveal Xiao Fan's memories.

With this in mind, Huo Ling'er shouted at the Dragon Empress, "I, too, once believed Xiao Fan to be a heinous criminal, but the truth proved me wrong. Xiao Fan silently bore all the sins; we all misunderstood him."

"I urge you not to make decisions you will regret for life before learning the truth!"

Huo Ling'er spoke patiently, earnestly trying to reason.

However, the Dragon Empress ignored her, continuing to focus on the Jade Pool Empress, awaiting her response.

Seeing the Dragon Empress's indifference, Huo Ling'er's anger surged.

Dragons were indeed known for their brute strength and simple minds.

The Dragon Empress's silence didn't mean her followers were equally apathetic. Long Guang, a quasi-emperor dragon, immediately retorted.

"Heavenly Fire Empress, do not deceive our Dragon Empress!"

"The Nether Demon Emperor Xiao Fan is unforgivable, guilty of numerous atrocities, deserving death by all!"

"Years ago, our Dragon Clan warmly welcomed Xiao Fan, but he betrayed us, scheming for our essence blood and dragon cores, colluding with the demon clan, causing the deaths of countless elders and warriors, nearly leading to our extinction!"

As he spoke, Long Guang's eyes turned blood-red, his aura growing wild, almost losing control.

His father had perished in the great battle where Xiao Fan had colluded with the demon clan.

That battle had nearly annihilated the Dragon Clan, leaving only a few surviving elders to hide and recuperate.

After thousands of years, they had finally recovered.

Their hatred had festered for millennia.

Now the Heavenly Fire Empress casually suggested a misunderstanding?

Ridiculous! Absolutely ridiculous!

A misunderstanding? The Dragon Clan was nearly exterminated, and she called it a misunderstanding?

Fortunately, their clan had recovered and even produced a Dragon Empress.

Thus, they had no fear of the Heavenly Fire Empress, daring to stand against her words.

Heaven was just; their clan would undoubtedly rise under the Dragon Empress's leadership.

Their first step toward revival was to slay the Nether Demon Emperor Xiao Fan, avenging their millennia-old blood feud.

The onlookers were shocked by Long Guang's words.

Though the Dragon Clan was coveted for its valuable body parts—blood, flesh, bones, scales, essence blood, and dragon cores—no one dared to challenge them.

Xiao Fan's audacity to target the entire Dragon Clan was astonishing, to say the least.

However, Huo Ling'er didn't pay attention to Long Guang's words.

Despite his quasi-emperor status, he was insignificant compared to true emperors.

To Huo Ling'er, Long Guang was no more than a small fry.

What truly mattered was the Dragon Empress.

While Long Guang spoke of Xiao Fan's alleged crimes, the Dragon Empress showed no reaction, indicating that his words were meaningless to her.

This suggested there was a deeper reason for the Dragon Empress's hatred towards Xiao Fan.

To resolve this issue, they needed the Jade Pool Empress to continue showing Xiao Fan's memories with the Haotian Mirror.

Yet the stalemate persisted with no clear resolution.

Moreover, if the Jade Pool Empress sided with the Dragon Empress, the situation would turn against them.

The Jade Pool Empress noticed the Dragon Empress's lack of reaction despite Long Guang's accusations, doubting her reliability.

If the Dragon Empress stopped fighting halfway, she would be left vulnerable to the attacks from the Heavenly Fire and Lunar Yin Empresses.

Better to play it safe and avoid the risk of betrayal.

Thus, the deadlock continued.

Seeing the stalemate, a Confucian scholar continued to persuade the Heavenly Fire and Lunar Yin Empresses to abandon their resistance.

"Heavenly Fire Empress, Lunar Yin Empress, do not be obstinate!"

"Silence! You ignorant fools!"

Suddenly, the Northern Empress Leng Ruoxue arrived, not fully recovered but already at quasi-emperor strength.

Upon her arrival, she began to berate the scholar. "You old fool, speak ill of my master again, and I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"You..."

"What you?"

"Dece..."

"Deceive what?"

"..."

Each time the scholar tried to speak, Leng Ruoxue cut him off, leaving him fuming with anger.

Satisfied, Leng Ruoxue felt this was the best way to deal with such self-righteous elders.

The Lunar Yin Empress Wen Yaxian shook her head in resignation.

Though crude, it was effective.

The Heavenly Fire Empress Huo Ling'er watched her with a peculiar expression.

She had thought her temper was bad enough, but compared to Leng Ruoxue, she was still reasonable.
