"This is the end for you, Empress." Jin Rou made a thin thorn but it looked powerful enough to kill anyone, "If ever you have the chance to be reincarnated, I hope you become a good person next time."
The empress looked at Jin Rou when he said these words. But she didn't force to say anything, though her eyes were already telling Jin Rou what she meant.
Jin Rou stabbed the thorn immediately into the heart of the empress without hesitation. The stabbing was clearly clean as if Jin Rou was adept in murdering people. Well, that was true. After all, his adventures were not your typical one. His road was filled with blood and bones of enemies.
The empress flinched a bit after being stabbed. She sent a final warning to Jin Rou before she was stabbed. However, it looked like the other party didn't give a damn about it just like he said. Soon, she eventually died with her eyes opened in indignation.
"Now, there is one more person to kill and my revenge is complete." Jin Rou was planning to see this through the end. He wasn't willing to let go of this family unless had who weren't involved.
However, he needed to prepare in order to face the emperor. He was already a 13-crowns millions of years ago. Who knows, if he had already advanced through? Thus, now wasn't the time to face the emperor off. Jin Rou gave one final glance at the corpse of the empress and left.

"Boom!" The void of the place suddenly exploded as the space was interrupted by several times. It looked like someone was trying to get in into this place by force. After which, a small crack appeared out of the clouds and a figure immediately rushed towards the land.
"My wife!!" When the emperor came and saw the empress lying there lifelessly, his expression turned to worst and horrified. He immediately pulled up the body of the empress into his embrace and tried to revive her by giving her large amounts of qi. However, the empress didn't react.
"No, you can't die like this. You can't die like this!" The emperor had lost all his natural composures. He was always calm and collected but seeing his loved ones being killed one by one was heartbreaking for him. It was already too much to lose his two strong sons. And now, his wife was gone.
The emperor tried many methods of reviving her. Unfortunately, nothing worked. He could only hug her and cry his heart in aggrieved and deep pain.
His cries echoed and turned away all the clouds and water. Everything within his vicinity was destroyed by his uncontrollable rage and pain leaking out.
"Who the hell may are you, I swear I'm going to find you and kill you and your clan! I'm going to let you taste the bitterness and pain from losing someone you love. Just you fucking wait!" The emperor had lost control and shouted like a mad man. His eyes were bloodshot and veins were popping out.
After a few minutes of uncontrollable rage, he finally calmed down and just hugged his dead wife tighter. The last bit of warmth from his wife was now gone, and that made him realize more that she was good as dead, beyond saving.
"You want to bring my family down? Stop dreaming." The emperor calmly said. It was then only reason he could think of right now why the enemy was doing this, "My family isn't easy to be bullied. Once I know who you are, you will suffer a fate worse than death. I'll be sure of it."
Afterwards, the emperor and the dead empress in his embrace disappeared from that place. Then, the entire place lost its life and became a desolate place. It was the favorite place of the empress, but now that she was dead, the emperor no longer see any worth of letting this damn place live.

In a different kingdom, a certain inn. The princess, Shale Prime, couldn't help but kneel down in horrification. She was trying to chase her breath as she felt being sucked by something unpleasant.
"Now... even Mother was..." She could feel that her mother had died. It was tragic death that she wouldn't dare to imagine.
One family member after another. First were her two brothers, and now even the empress didn't manage to escape death. There were thick clouds looming in their imperial home, and she could feel that it was something that could change the destiny of their family.
She was thinking of who would be daring enough and powerful enough to kill their family members? While they have lots of enemies out there, they couldn't do anything about them unless the current emperor die.
Upon pondering over this, she suddenly struck a realization that made her lost her calm. She remembered a certain man saying something like she should stay away from their home for a while. She also remembered how powerful the man was and how calm and collected he was no matter what the times.
"Don't tell me..." This truth was harder than a large pill to swallow. It made her had a goosebumps all over her body. She didn't know why but she was feeling that what she thought was the truth. But if that was the case, why was he doing this? To overthrow the current empire and build his own? To collect debts that she wasn't aware?
She didn't dare to continue and closed her eyes. She focused on calming herself as deep inside her was trembling in fear.
The princess calmed down after a few minutes and immediately packed up. She was going to go where Jin Rou was and talk to him. This couldn't go on, or else it would be the doom of their family. Fortunately, she left a scent in Jin Rou's robe before she left so that in case she needed him, she could go to him.
