Rise of the Great Emperor - Chapter 441

Watching the fight that continued to turn one sided, they all only felt pity towards Prince Lin Bo Wang. Under the sheer pressure from the appearance of the dragon, Prince Lin Bo Wang didn’t last long and finally met his end in Lin Xiao’s sword.

Slash!

As blood spilled to the ground, Lin Xiao lowered his sword. His eyes were still looking at the water that was flowing in their direction and smiled wryly. “Well, your appearance is majestic, but you’re creating huge problem for me here, Lin Hu.”

Lin Hu snorted. It was Lin Xiao’s plan to flood the entire capital city. “I’ll announce my arrival to the other kingdoms first.”

“Ah?”

Lin Xiao watched as Lin Hu soar to the sky and roared loudly. It was as if he wanted to tell everyone that from now on, Sun Kingdom will have an Emperor protected by a dragon. No one could stay away from looking at the dragon as the message traveled thousands of li away into faraway distance.

There were only eight Emperors chosen by the Heaven and each of them will bring their kingdom to a new height. Their authority was something that could not be replicated by others.

As Lin Hu disappeared into the clouds, it formed light and entered Lin Xiao’s forehead once more. At the same time, Lin Xiao walked out of the water. He looked at the group of officials before him.

“My name is Lin Xiao and I’ll be the next Emperor, who is with me?”

“I’ll always stay by your side, Your Highness!” Princess Lan Yi Hua fell to her knees right away, her eyes were smiling as she looked at Lin Xiao.

Lin Yun and the others followed suit before the officials all acknowledged Lin Xiao. It was quite the spectator to see the high ranking officials all kowtowed to one person. Many of those who had survived because they were hiding from this incident rushed over to the palace right away.

They knew that this time, there would never be any dispute anymore.

The first task to do: repair the palace and capital city.

Lin Xiao contacted Han Jiang and his third brother, who had successfully done their mission. Their mission was obviously to make flood in the palace because without a ‘lake’ Lin Xiao couldn’t call Lin Hu. Thankfully, the requirement for being a lake was quite… relaxed.

“For the time being, you can just stay in Sun Dragon Academy. There’s no need for you to return back with me because you hadn’t finished your education.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Alright, Lil Bro.”

For Prince Lin Yan and his siblings, Lin Xiao asked them to not be formal with him. He had enough having so many people treated him so politely. As someone who was not used to such formalities due to living in the backwater village for so long, it was torturing.

“The palace is in such a tatters. Is it really that difficult to fight while making sure that there’s no such damage?” Prince Lin Xian was heartbroken when he saw the palace. The majestic palace… was now reduced to rubbles.

Well, not completely.

At least half of it was destroyed due to the repeated battles. The walls were filled with holes and there were many sign of the furniture decomposing. He was even more confused when he saw the gold melted.

What could possibly cause the gold to melt this way?

“It looks as if there’s an explosion of a cultivator here,” Princess Lan Yi Hua passed a look at Lin Xiao as if asking him what actually happened here. From what she knew, there were only two people under Lin Xiao who were of fire element and could possibly cause this huge explosion.

She or Fan Ling.

However, the two of them were still alive and kicking. Hell, they even came to this place together. There was no way that the two of them could possibly sacrifice this place and caused this huge destruction.

“Oh, it’s Xia Ye.”

“Excuse me?”

“What are you talking about?”

While the others were dumbfounded, Lin Xiao didn’t bother to explain. He walked to the other side and then to the other buildings.

A palace always had several buildings and Lin Xiao had noticed that there were a lot of them here. In fact, he had been wondering where Xia Ye could possibly hide after causing such a huge explosion that killed the previous Emperor.

It didn’t take long for him to find the slightly abandoned building.

‘Is it here?’

‘Why are you asking me?’

‘I’m asking because you’re the one who give that thing to Xia Ye.’

Lin Hu snorted. During the frequent life and death battle that Lin Xiao had to forcefully endure under Prince Lin Yan’s supervision, there were several incidents in which the opponent tried to blast themselves. That way, they would die along with their opponents.

It was a desperate move but these slaves were already lost their hope to live from the very moment they become a slave. Thus, they would inevitably initiate this method when they were at their wits end.

That way, they would not have to be subjected to harsher punishment.

Lin Hu could absorb their power, allowing Lin Xiao to survive. Of course, the other members had different way of dealing with this incident. For example, Prince Lin San would use his dark element and hid within the shadow and acted as if he had traveled to the other side of the room.

That way, he would not be questioned.

Lin Xiao had Lin Hu, who could absorb those energies. However, he couldn’t use it for himself and thus, Lin Hu condensed them to form a ball of energy.

The one he gave to Xia Ye was precisely that ball of energy.

It could fake him exploding his own cultivation to kill his opponent. If it had been Xia Ye’s body that was exploding, the traces would be filled more with dark element rather than the fire element like what he had seen in the palace.
