Yan Luo!

Seeing the Tower Spirit that was still unwilling to explain the real reason behind creating the eighteen levels of hell, Yu Haoran shook his head in disappointment.

However, he kept his promise and did not pursue the matter. Instead, he quickened his pace and followed along.

However, when he was less than fifty meters away from the black tower, he accidentally saw the corpse of Cui Zhi Hao, who was lying on the ground floor of the black tower.

"Tower Spirit, please wait a moment."

After reminding the Tower Spirit who was already standing on top of the black tower, Yu Haoran directly landed beside Cui Zhi Hao's corpse. His attention was immediately attracted by the wound which had lost his heart, which had a trace of black Qi.

"Ghost Soul Devourer!"

A familiar aura fluctuated, allowing Yu Haoran to immediately recognize where the black Qi came from.

Yu Haoran immediately took out a pill bottle from his storage ring, and then used a special method to extract the Ghostly Soul Devouring Poison from Cui Zhi Hao's corpse. When Yu Haoran was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a very rare memory crystal in his palm.

He bent down and picked up the crystal, then channeled some elemental energy into it. Immediately, a clear image appeared in the crystal.

After seeing the contents of the video, his face couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Withdrawing the elemental energy from the memory crystal and placing it beside Xiao Jiufa's head, Yu Haoran soared into the air and landed at the top of the black tower.

"Tower Spirit, make your move!" Seeing that the Tower Spirit had removed the blood-colored altar that he used to lay down the Blood Sacrifice Great Art, Yu Haoran's expression became serious as he reminded him.

Nodding his head, Tower Spirit returned to the space of his sea of consciousness. Using his powerful spiritual will, he absorbed all of the dirt on the foundation of the black pagoda into the domain pagoda.

Xianyang City, Yi Zheng Palace!

It had already been five hours since Yu Haoran had left the Hall of Etiquette. Xiao Zhongyuan, who had been frowning, had already regained his original prideful demeanor, and a hint of provocation flashed through his eyes as he looked at the Qin Emperor.

Furthermore, they started to loudly discuss about when and where to kill Yu Haoran, as well as their blood relatives who were related to Yu Haoran.

As for Meng Zhengkai, Prince Yi Feng and the rest, expressions of worry appeared in their eyes, and they would occasionally raise their heads to look at the Qin Emperor, who was seated on the Dragon Throne.

Fortunately, the Qin Emperor did not show any worry on his face because of Yu Haoran's long absence. This allowed Meng Zhengkai, Prince Yi Feng and the others to be able to endure the discussion of the scholars.

After nearly half an hour, when he felt that it was impossible for Yu Haoran to return alive, Xiao Zhongyuan raised his head and looked at the Qin Emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne.

"I am truly sorry. Something happened at the last minute, delaying my return a little bit too late."

Hearing the familiar apologetic voices, Xiao Zhongyuan and the big scholars' faces immediately turned pale white. Meng Zhengkai and Prince Yi Feng's eyes immediately revealed joy and happiness.

Qin Di, who looked calm, stood up and looked at the entrance of the hall excitedly.

With a faint smile on his face, he leisurely walked into the great hall.

"Prince Consort, how is it?" The impatient Meng Zhengkai immediately asked.

After sweeping a glance at the pale-faced Xiao Zhongyuan and those scholars, Yu Haoran took out Xiao Jiufa's head from his storage ring and threw it directly to Meng Zhengkai.

"Your Majesty, it's indeed Xiao Jiufa's head!" Receiving the head that Yu Haoran threw over, Meng Zhengkai looked at it carefully three times, then confirmed with a face full of joy at the Qin Emperor.

After receiving Meng Zhengkai's confirmation, he felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, causing the Qin Emperor to feel that his state of mind, elemental energy, divine soul and power of laws were all about to ascend.

However, due to the shackles of his body, he was unable to successfully complete the process of ascension.

"Congratulations Your Majesty. Congratulations Your Majesty, you are about to advance your Martial Saint Realm and become the first peerless Monarch of the Profound Sky Continent."

As someone who had already successfully broken through Martial Saint Realm, Yu Haoran understood the change in the aura of the Qin Emperor very well. He knew that it was a sign that he was about to break through Martial Saint Realm, and while feeling heartfelt joy for him, he also hurried forward to congratulate him.2

"God bless my Great Qin Empire!"

Hearing Yu Haoran's congratulation, Meng Zhengkai and the rest did not react in time, but the loyal Director Jiang immediately shouted out.

"Congratulations Your Majesty on becoming a Monarch soon, and for protecting my Great Qin Empire's foundation for all eternity. Long live the Monarch, long live, long live the Monarch!"

After hearing Director Jiang's shouts and congratulations, Meng Zhengkai and the rest immediately reacted. As they kneeled down to congratulate, they could not help but feel a sense of bitterness in their hearts.

After all, the difference in strength and cultivation levels originally wasn't that great, but they were able to balance each other out.

But with the Qin Emperor about to become the A peerless Martial Saint's Monarch, the structure of the Great Qin Empire's interests would probably undergo a tremendous change.

"Ha ha!"

Yu Haoran's congratulations had allowed the Qin Emperor to finally understand what had happened to him just now, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud towards the sky in happiness.

After laughing for close to thirty seconds, he withdrew his laughter and indicated to the people who were kneeling.

"Everyone, please rise!"

Waiting until Meng Zhengkai and the others had complicated expressions on their faces, Qin Di, who had returned to his Dragon Throne, looked at Xiao Zhongyuan gloomily, at the pale white scholars, and shouted with a voice as cold as frost.

"Xiao Zhongyuan, do you know your crime?"

The question from the Qin Emperor woke Xiao Zhongyuan up from his panic.

After which, he abruptly turned around and asked with a malevolent expression.

"Insolent Yu Haoran, do you know who Xiao Jiufa is?"

"Isn't it just your father, Xiao Zhongyuan, that you have relied on the most in your life?!" Shrugging his shoulders, Yu Haoran said with ridicule and disdain.

"Yu Haoran, aside from being my biological father, Xiao Jiufa is also the guardian spirit of the Great Qin Empire. He is the strongest method to intimidate those experts who have spied on our Great Qin Empire's foundation for the past ten thousand years."

Ignoring Yu Haoran's ridicule, Xiao Jiufa suddenly shouted as he took a step forward.

"Now, you actually used despicable and shameless methods to kill my father, causing the Great Qin Emperor to lose the guardian god that will forever protect his foundation."

"Yu Haoran, you deserve to die!"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing that Xiao Zhongyuan actually thought of Xiao Jiuxuan as the guardian god of the Great Qin Empire, Yu Haoran felt as if he had heard an enormous joke and couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"Yu Haoran, shut up!"

Yu Haoran's hearty laugh made Xiao Zhongyuan feel as if he had received an enormous humiliation, and he couldn't help but yell out of anger.

"Pfft!"

But as an ordinary person who had never experienced martial arts before, because of the burning anger in Xiao Zhongyuan's heart, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face instantly turned as pale as a sheet of paper.
