### Chapter 6: King vs. King (10)
The moment the mysterious woman in a black dress appeared,
Ru Yu was nearby the burning forbidden area. She looked up at the lady whose skirt floated in the air like flames. Though the distance made it hard to see her features clearly,
the woman’s noble and icy demeanor sent a chill down Ru Yu’s spine, making her feel utterly inadequate.
In that instant, she suddenly realized,
to make the Great King of the Split Land obey her, she had been constantly pondering and imitating, aiming to become just like this woman standing before her!
She was taken aback.
Could it be that the Great King of the Split Land’s sudden departure had something to do with this woman?
Moreover, the fluffy little creature in the woman’s hands—wasn’t that just a shrunken Nightmare Beast?
Ru Yu almost stumbled to the ground in shock.
She gripped the charred remnants of a dead tree beside her tightly, the pain in her palms snapping her back to reality.
No, she had confidence!
The Great King of the Split Land had been living with her for these days, obeying her every word. How could he suddenly leave with another woman?
The Great King would definitely return!
Then, in front of everyone, she would take him away.
From that moment on, they would be together forever and never part again.
…
Facing the Great King of the Split Land’s plea for mercy, the high and mighty queen didn’t seem interested at all.
Yet, oddly enough, the Bull Head was still eating this up, kneeling obediently as if he would stay there until the end of time unless she spoke.
“Li Ying Tian, I’m taking Thousand Bird City.”
The Cold Moon Witch said dismissively.
It was as if she was merely discussing a minor issue, implying that Li Ying Tian should hand over the keys and be on his merry way.
Fu Yetian instantly sighed in relief.
It seemed that the queen had the same agenda as him—totally annihilating Thousand Bird City.
Perfect! Since these two had a score to settle,
he would quickly sneak those twelve people out of the forbidden area. As for whether Thousand Bird City would crash afterwards, that was none of his business!
“Fu Yetian, did I tell you to move?”
Just a slight shift in his form, and the Cold Moon Witch’s icy reprimand shot through the air.
Fu Yetian froze instantly.
He wasn’t sure if he continued moving whether this queen, who could keep the Great King of the Split Land kneeling there, wouldn’t leave Li Ying Tian to come after him first.
To be safe, he froze like a deer in the headlights, pretending he was just casually stretching.
On the other side, Li Ying Tian looked like someone had just dumped a bucket of ice water on him.
He never imagined the Cold Moon Witch would make such an infuriating demand right off the bat.
You want to take Thousand Bird City?
What would that make him, the proud leader of Thousand Bird City?
Clearly, she had come here to start a fight.
Suppressing his anger, Li Ying Tian sneered, “Do you know that this traitor from the Heavenly Sword Sect aims to completely destroy the Floating City?
Without the Floating City, what happens to Thousand Bird City? Is it even still Thousand Bird City?”
Fu Yetian immediately threw his hands up and smiled, “Li Zhuangmen, that’s slander! I merely wanted to study where the Floating City’s power comes from.
But who would have thought that you, Thousand Bird City, would be so inhumane, cramming twelve living humans into jars and using secret techniques to siphon their life energy to keep the Floating City running?
I just wanted to rescue them, to save them from being squeezed dry by you.
Just ask the queen for validation!”
With that, he pointed to a corner of the round room, now revealed in the moonlight.
Lin Nan glanced over and indeed saw several large capsules that looked like they belonged in a sci-fi movie.
She had always thought that the Asking Dao Continent’s only Floating City was a product of divine creation, but here was this seemingly grand Floating City maintained by human labor!
This utterly exceeded her imagination, further deepening her disdain for Li Ying Tian.
Li Ying Tian, however, showed no sign of panic at Fu Yetian’s words.
Suddenly, he inhaled deeply and said, “These twelve people are extraordinary, and keeping them here is not Thousand Bird City’s idea.
I can guarantee that if any harm comes to even one of them, it will provoke the full wrath of both human and demon races!”
Lin Nan was already too fed up with his droning on.
Even if Thousand Bird City were destroyed entirely, it had nothing to do with her.
Her very presence here, without the player card, was to personally exact vengeance on Li Ying Tian for the Wolf Demon.
Forget about grand schemes and alliances—
she’d deal with that after the bl**d was spilled.
After uttering those words, Li Ying Tian suddenly regretted it.
Because based on the Great King of the Split Land’s attitude, it was clear that this Cold Moon Witch was the Monster King’s woman, and right here, they were keeping the Monster King’s physical form.
Her purpose for being here, in some way, aligned with Fu Yetian’s.
Four hundred years ago, during the battle to subdue the Monster King, though he had never seen her, anyone who could win the Monster King’s favor and become the partner of such a powerful being couldn’t possibly be ordinary.
Clinging to his last shred of hope, he called out, “My lady, Thousand Bird City is willing to ally with the Extermination of Immortals! If the Ji Shen organization grows powerful, it will pose a major threat to the monster race.
That villain, Fu Yetian, is not to be trifled with!
If you can help us, I promise the Monster King’s physical form will be returned immediately, no questions asked!”
Lin Nan sneered, “How do I recall my subordinates saying that Thousand Bird City was once supposed to be loyal to me? How did it become an alliance under your watch?
How laughable!”
As soon as her words fell, dark clouds above suddenly danced with large flakes of black snow.
Lin Nan leaped up high, jumping off the Dark Feather Crane.
Then, an astonishing scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
She actually floated in the air, stepping down as if on an invisible staircase.
Amidst the raging cold wind and black snow,
her face grew clearer and clearer.
What a face it was—a visage so unforgettable, it would haunt you day and night.
Her skin gleamed like polished jade, her deep black eyes devoid of any emotions, as if she had just emerged from a thousand-year ice mountain.
Any ordinary person daring enough to lock eyes with her would probably freeze into an ice sculpture on the spot.
Li Ying Tian quickly realized she was coming for him.
The woman was cloaked in a violent aura of killing intent, yet her expression remained eerily calm, graceful in her movements.
That clash of perfect stillness and the tempest brewing beneath the surface was a masterclass in contradiction.
Li Ying Tian, the focus of her attention, felt his palms go cold, as if the shadow of d*ath was looming over him.
“Why?”
Li Ying Tian’s chest heaved violently, “We have no grievances or grudges, so why target me!”
“Ha, do you remember trying to ambush Feng Yalin, only to k*ll her Wolf Demon instead?”
Li Ying Tian retorted, “Just a regular monster. Surely it can’t outweigh the tremendous benefits we stand to gain together?
You want to oppose the entire human race for a mere Wolf Demon?”
Lin Nan’s eyes turned even colder as she enunciated each word, “He is not just a mere Wolf Demon,
he is my loyal subordinate with flesh and bl**d!
Whoever touches my people must d*e!”
…
P.S.: Breakfast is here! The Monster Queen is about to blow her top, so everyone beware! Treats will earn you a pardon!
