Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

"Are you looking for him?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The calm, playful voice sent chills skittering across Li Tenglong's body.

Bang!

A dark shadow abruptly fell at his feet, a headless corpse.

Blood gushed from the wound on the neck, staining his boots red. Li Tenglong's complexion changed drastically, and his breathing became hurried, "This, this is impossible..."

Although the corpse was headless, the clothes were all too familiar.

But...

Geng Jie was a strongman at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak, unless someone from the Tao Tribulation Realm took action, how could he have been beheaded without a sound?

"Sorry, I forgot to give this to you as well!" Xiao Yi's voice came again; with a wave of his hand, he threw Geng Jie's head over.

That head, with eyes wide open and a face full of despair, wasn't it Geng Jie's?

Thump! Thump!

Li Tenglong's heartbeat grew faster and faster, but his face became even paler. He looked up at Xiao Yi, "This, all of this was a trap you set up?"

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, "Congratulations, you're right. As a reward, I'll personally send you on your way!"

"You insolent brat!"

Li Tenglong drew his longsword with a sudden motion, glaring at Xiao Yi, "Under my command are three hundred thousand soldiers, do you think I'd be afraid of you? All soldiers, heed my command, break through the city gates..."

"Wouldn't it be nice to die quietly? Why do you struggle?"

Xiao Yi shook his head gently, clapping his hands. The crisp clapping sound was like a soul-hooking devil's tune.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

From within the pitch-black buildings, amidst the thickets of trees, from within the city walls, one figure after another emerged. These were all soldiers stationed in Heiya City, each with a thick white cloth over their faces, carrying a jar of wine in their hands. At Xiao Yi's command, hundreds of thousands of jars were viciously thrown amongst the Tianlan Kingdom's troops.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The jars exploded one by one, and the white vapor, filled with the sharp, pungent smell of alcohol, dispersed.

"What is this stuff?"

"Wine? What are they doing throwing wine at us?"

"No, something is wrong... it must be poison, it's definitely poison..." Li Tenglong's complexion changed drastically. Under the envelopment of the white smoke, some of the Tianlan Kingdom's soldiers were already staggering.

Li Tenglong leapt into the air, intending to escape.

However...

Just as he left the ground, a dark shadow suddenly appeared before his eyes. Find exclusive stories on empire

It was a black foot.

Growing larger and larger in his vision!

Bang!

A foot slammed down on his face, driving his head brutally into the ground. Xiao Yi, with an amused look, watched Li Tenglong try to push himself off the ground to rise, "Why are you in such a rush to leave? Wouldn't it be nice to see how your Tianlan Kingdom's troops get annihilated?"

"Despicable... You actually used poison? You lowlife coward..." Li Tenglong's face contorted with rage as he yelled.

In just this short moment, over a hundred thousand soldiers of the Tianlan Kingdom already lay fallen.

The remaining two hundred thousand soldiers were also staggering, devoid of any combat strength.

"Despicable?"

Xiao Yi sneered, "When you poisoned Great General Zhang Baisheng, why didn't you call that despicable? I am simply giving you a taste of your own medicine! Moreover, the poison I used was developed from the Moruo grass poison you used, so I should actually thank your Tianlan Kingdom. Otherwise, where would I find the long-lost Moruo grass?"

"How, how can this be, is heaven intending to destroy my Tianlan Kingdom..."

Li Tenglong's face turned ashen.

If this army of three hundred thousand were to be completely annihilated, it would be a crippling blow to the Tianlan Kingdom, especially since he and Geng Jie, both peak Golden Elixir generals, had perished together.

Be it morale or strength.

It was also too much for Tianlan Kingdom to bear!

Xiao Yi gently bent down, gripped Li Tenglong's neck, and lifted him up. Amidst the crackling sounds, he crushed Li Tenglong's hands and feet, disabling his cultivation at the same time. With his vital energy, he sealed all the acupoints in Li Tenglong's body, rendering him mute and immobile, just like a puppet on strings, which Xiao Yi placed atop the horse.

He had already guessed the reason why Xiao Yi didn't kill him, his eyes filled with despair.

As the massacre of the Heiya City defense forces ensued, those of the Tianlan Kingdom's army poisoned by the Demon Ravana grass had no strength to resist and were easily slaughtered.

Xiao Yi waved his hand: "Everyone, according to plan, put on the Tianlan Kingdom's army armor!"

Whirr!

The men rapidly began to change their armor.

In a moment.

An army of one hundred thousand from the Tianlan Kingdom reappeared before everyone's eyes.

Excitement and fervor were written on every face, their gazes blazing as they looked at Xiao Yi.

Before this...

Faced with an army of a million from the Tianlan Kingdom, they had lost all hope, entertaining only thoughts of a death struggle.

But now.

The situation had drastically changed.

Without exerting any effort, they annihilated two generals at the Golden Elixir Realm Peak of the Tianlan Kingdom and wiped out three hundred thousand troops, right when their morale was at its peak after a big victory.

Xiao Yi immediately ordered everyone to open the city gates.

Majestically, the army of one hundred thousand poured out of the city.

At the same time...

Xiao Yi glanced at a young general at the peak of Divine Skills, who promptly launched a signal arrow. With a whoosh, a streak of silver light shot across the sky. Shortly thereafter, the ground shook and quaked as an imposing army of four hundred thousand from the Tianlan Kingdom surged towards them.

"General Li, what's the situation inside the city?" a general at the First Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm asked.

Under Xiao Yi's control, Li Tenglong's voice came out: "Heiya City has been taken, the National Advisor is welcome to enter the city!"

"Enter the city!"

The army of four hundred thousand marched towards the city.

They immediately saw corpses lying haphazardly in pools of blood within the city; the vast majority of them were dressed in the Tianqing Kingdom's defensive army armor. The soldiers of the Tianlan Kingdom were overjoyed: "Worthy of the National Advisor's personal intervention, Heiya City has fallen, and we can now drive straight in, flattening the capital of Tianqing Kingdom within half a month!"

"Sorry, but I'm afraid you won't ever get to see the capital of Tianqing Kingdom in this lifetime!" Xiao Yi's cold voice came as the city gates thunderously closed.

"Huh?"

The generals of the Tianlan Kingdom were startled, only to see Xiao Yi leading a hundred thousand strong, frantically hurling jar after jar.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amidst the spreading white smoke...

The Tianlan Kingdom's army fell in swathes.

"Kill them!"

At Xiao Yi's command, the Tianqing Kingdom's army ruthlessly slaughtered on all sides, while signal fires blazed high atop the city walls.

Xiao Yi looked at Li Tenglong's face, filled with despair, and released the seals on his body: "Thank you for your help, General Li. Without you, they would not have trusted me so easily!"

"You—you'll not die a good death... The National Advisor will avenge us..." Li Tenglong said through clenched teeth.

Xiao Yi calmly replied, "The National Advisor? Ling Wufengyun? I will send him to join you!"

Thump!

Xiao Yi clenched his palm and brutally snapped Li Tenglong's neck, then leaped high. A streak of silver landed on his shoulder. Little Lin spoke, "Boss, the signal fires have been lit, Zheng Le and Hou Sailei must have already launched their attack!"

Xiao Yi nodded, his eyes narrowed as he looked towards the dark mass of the distant camp: "After tonight, Tianlan Kingdom will be a toothless tiger, no longer a concern!"
