The Qiyang Empire. The capital.

In the palace, in Qin You's room, it was magnificent. He was sitting by the window. She held her chin as she stared out at the horizon in a daze. It was unknown what she was thinking about as the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Qin Yong was wearing a dragon robe as he walked in. He looked at his little sister and sighed.

Since Ling Hao had left, the capital had changed. The State Grandmaster and the Prime Minister had successively submitted to Qin Yong. Seven days later, His Majesty announced to the world that he would relinquish the throne to a sage.

Qin Yong knew that all of this was because of Ling Hao, because everyone knew that Ling Hao and Qin Yong were friends. Who would dare to provoke the champion of the student recruitment event? Those with discerning eyes knew that the general's mansion turned into ashes overnight because of a young man.

Thus, all the major powers in the capital seemed to have seen the light and sought out Qin Yong, indicating that they would do their best to support him.

This also made Qin Yan feel at ease. He had always supported the crown prince, Qin Yong, so he was willing to go with the flow and take the lead.

The other matter was that the ninth princess, Qin Long, had fallen in love with painting. Moreover, she only drew one person, only drew young people. It could be said that she painted only Linghao.

They stepped on the gates of the palace, wanting to teach the ninth princess how to draw. They were not tired of it, as if this was what they should do.

"Little sister, the portraits of Brother Ling are hanging on these walls. You look at them often, aren't you tired of them?" Qin Yong smiled helplessly as he looked at Ling Hao's portrait that filled the room.

Qin Jiu glared at his brother and said: "Hmph, I like it. Does His Majesty want to punish me?"

Qin Yong hurriedly waved his hand, "Little sister, since you miss Ling Hao so much, why don't we change our clothes and go to the Ten Thousand Devil Sect to find him?"

A look of melancholy appeared on his face.

"Speaking of which, I also miss him a lot. He's our great savior so I wonder how he's doing in the Ten Thousand Devil Sect."

A bright light flashed across Qin Yi's beautiful eyes before it turned into sadness.

"Brother, I have thought about that every day, but the Thousand Devil Sect is extremely powerful. If we continue like this, I'm afraid that it will bring trouble to them."

When Qin Yong heard this, he nodded.

Both of them had just barely reached the peak of True Sun. The Myriad Demons Sect's water was simply too deep.

Qin Yong glanced at his sister, seemingly enlightened, "So, after Brother Ling left, you started cultivating with all your might, and even went so far as to go berserk. Could it be because of this?"

Qin Yong bitterly smiled. So it turned out that his little sister had grown up.

For her own sake, she could endure the boredom of training. Even if he had beaten her to death in the past, she wouldn't have fallen in love with training.

"Yes, I like Ling Hao. I want to cultivate properly so that I can stand on the same level as him." Qin Long laughed, his eyes shining brightly.

"Report!"

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

Qin Yong said, "Come in."

A man covered in blood walked in from outside. He was clad in armor and his face was full of scars. Before he could say anything, Qin Yong had already asked him.

"Are you Fourth Brother's subordinate?" Qin Yong was stunned. He knew this person. He was one of Qin Feilong's subordinates. His name was Zhang Tong.

Ever since Ling Hao had left, Qin Feilong had also completely awakened. He knew that he would never be able to reach the throne in his entire life.

Afterwards, the two brothers gradually got along with each other. Qin Yong also felt that Qin Feilong had become better. At least he no longer had any hostility towards his own siblings.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject is a subordinate of King Jing'an. This subject has military matters to report."

Qin Feilong was King Jing'an.

"A tide of demon beasts gathered at a distance of 30 miles. King Jing'an probably won't be able to hold on!" Zhang Tong gritted his teeth as tears welled up in his tiger-like eyes.

"Your Majesty, your highness won't retreat even if it costs his life. If there is no more support, your highness will definitely be torn to shreds by the demon beasts!" Zhang Tong kowtowed, and the blood from his body dripped onto the ground.

"Fourth brother, why are you so stupid?" Qin Yong slapped the table. His heart was in extreme pain as he asked: "Zhang Tong, tell me, why is your Prince so stubborn?"

"Tell me!" Qin Yong yelled.

Zhang Tong raised his head and said, "Prince said that once you enter the battlefield, you are a soldier. As a soldier, there is no need to retreat."

The Qin siblings didn't speak for a long time.

Immediately after, Qin Yong bent down and pulled up Zhang Tong who was kneeling on the ground. With bloodshot eyes, he said: "Please rise."

"The prince has said that our Qiyang Capital is right behind us. If he doesn't bring troops and defend the demon horde, then the capital will be in a state of turmoil. When the tens of thousands of demon beasts enter the capital, the citizens will suffer unspeakably."

When Qin Yong finished listening, he immediately gathered the ministers to make strategic preparations. It was already late at night. Qin Yong walked up to Qin Yong and said: "Brother, we misunderstood Fourth Brother. So it turns out that he has always held the people in his heart."

"Indeed, the reason why he didn't retreat was for the sake of the Qiyang Empire!"

After Qin Yong finished speaking, he looked at Qin Long with blazing eyes. "The Son of Heaven shall guard the gates of the kingdom. The Sovereign King shall die in this country."

"I want to take the reins of the throne and head for the country together!"
