"Qin Shangren, what are you… what are you doing?" Ye Yunyi asked fearfully.
"Naturally, I'm killing you," Feng Di walked in front of her and said word by word.
"You dare! Qin Shangren," Ye Yunyi said sternly.
"Hahaha… why wouldn't I dare?" Blood seeped from Feng Di's body, and a sword mark ran down his face from the corner of his eye. If it had been a millimeter further, he would have lost his eye.
"Qin Shangren, do you know who I am?" Ye Yunyi said loudly.
"You were once my woman, you harmed me, and you usurped my imperial throne. And you are a woman with a heart like a viper's, Ye… Yun… Yi!" Feng Di said through gritted teeth.
"Qin Shangren, I'm telling you, Ye Yunyi is just one of my identities. My true identity is a disciple of the Lingyun Sect in the Xidu world. If you kill me, your entire empire will be reduced to ashes!" Ye Yunyi said sternly.
"Xidu world?"
"A disciple of the Lingyun Sect?"
"Hahaha… but what does that have to do with me?"
"I no longer care about the empire. Let it be destroyed, then so be it." Feng Di burst into wild laughter.
"Qin Shangren, can you really bear to strike me?" Ye Yunyi said hastily, seeing that Qin Shangren was serious.
However, her words had no threat to a person whose heart had already died.
Feng Di used his remaining right hand and thrust his sword towards Ye Yunyi.
Ye Yunyi had not expected that Feng Di would actually dare to kill her, that he would be willing to kill her.
She was stabbed through the heart by Feng Di, and Ye Yunyi truly felt the breath of death and the fading of her life. This was a feeling she had never experienced before.
"Qin Shangren, you are so heartless. Even if I die, I will drag you down with me." At this moment, seeing Ye Yunyi grab Feng Di's sword with both hands, the power of a Celestial Venerable began to burn. She wanted to perish with Feng Di.
Seeing this, Ning Beichen, regardless of Feng Di, hurriedly led the women to retreat. A Celestial Venerable's self-destruction was no joke; a radius of a hundred li would turn to ashes. Feng Di's death was his business, but Ning Beichen did not want himself and his women to be buried with Feng Di. In an instant, Ning Beichen took the women and appeared hundreds of kilometers away, far from the imperial palace.
Meanwhile, Feng Di, who was still in the imperial palace, was not afraid. Instead, he laughed madly, his laughter echoing for a thousand li.
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Yunyi asked with a contorted face.
"I'm laughing at how pathetic you are, Ye Yunyi. Do you know? You think I'm afraid of death? From the moment you abandoned me, my heart died," Feng Di said sorrowfully.
Then, seeing Feng Di also begin to burn his Celestial Venerable power, two extremely terrifying pillars of light appeared in the sky above the imperial palace, visible from a thousand li away.
"Crazy!" Ning Beichen couldn't help but complain, but he also greatly admired Feng Di. To love a woman to such an extent that he would eventually be willing to die and be buried with her. To say he had forgotten his feelings was self-deception. If he truly had forgotten his feelings and had no emotion for Ye Yunyi, he would have had a chance to escape even if Ye Yunyi self-destructed. But he not only did not leave, but he also burned his power, likely having already planned to perish with Ye Yunyi. This was not a lack of love, but love so deep that it transcended life and death. However, this kind of love was deformed, pathological, and pitiful.
After a while, a deafening roar was heard from a thousand li away. The earth trembled as if an earthquake had occurred, and a huge hole appeared in the sky above the imperial palace, with black smoke billowing out.
"Feng Di is gone," Liu Yilin and the others said regretfully after a long while.
"Yes, Feng Di is gone," Ning Beichen also said.
"It's a pity, Feng Di was a man of deep affection."
"He got what he wished for. Perhaps this was the outcome he wanted," Ning Beichen sighed.
"Let's go, let's go back and see if Feng Di has any parts left." Ning Beichen remembered that Feng Di had said before that if he died, he should be buried outside the wooden house. But two Celestial Venerables self-destructing had almost blown a hole in the world. It was unlikely they would even find a fingertip.
Not long after, Ning Beichen and the women returned to the imperial palace. But at this moment, there was no imperial palace left. It had become a ruin, and where Feng Di and Ye Yunyi had been, there was a giant crater hundreds of meters wide. Ning Beichen and Liu Yilin searched the crater for a long time and finally found some parts. However, they did not know if these parts belonged to Feng Di or Ye Yunyi, or a combination of both. Ning Beichen and the others could only gather these broken parts and place them all in a box. Since they could not be together in life, they would be buried together in death, fulfilling one of Feng Di's wishes. As for whether Ye Yunyi was willing, Ning Beichen could not control that.
The group buried the collected parts in the open ground outside Feng Di's wooden house and paid their respects.
"Right, Ye Yunyi said she was not from this world but from the Xidu world. It's a pity she's dead, otherwise, we could have learned some news about Xidu from her," Ning Beichen said regretfully. However, there was nothing that could be done. The person had turned to dust, and even her soul was gone. There was no way to find out.
"Let's go too. There's nothing left in this world that's worth our lingering," Ning Beichen said. Liu Yilin and the others nodded. Feng Di's matter had made them all feel a sense of immense emotion. Now that Feng Di was gone, there was nothing left in this world that they cared about.
Not long after, Ning Beichen also left. As for how this world would be, Ning Beichen could not manage it. Without Feng Di and the Empress, other emperors would naturally emerge. The flying machine returned to the void. This time, Ning Beichen had decided that he would go to the Xidu world. Because even a disciple of a sect in the Xidu world was a Celestial Venerable, it proved that the Xidu world was the world of cultivators. Perhaps it was the heavenly court in the minds of mortals, the pure land of Buddhist disciples. However, it would take a very long time to go to the Xidu world. Even with a flying machine, it would take an extremely long time, and the flying machine's energy might not be enough to reach the Xidu world. Therefore, what would happen along the way and whether they could reach it was still an unknown. The coffin-like flying machine flew through the void. Three months had passed since they left the world where Feng Di was located. In these three months, they had passed through places with nothing, which was so boring that Ning Beichen and the others felt restless.
