"I also know what kind of harm such methods will cause them, but at this moment, this is a last resort."
The Fire King saw Zhang Yifeng's thoughts and immediately said in a deep voice.
He looked magnanimous and knew in his heart that his actions were indeed wrong.
Sure enough, under such high-intensity pushback, some people in the empire soon became unable to hold on.
Flames suddenly burst out from under their skin and quickly enveloped them.
Under the constant burning of the flames, these people were about to turn into ashes.
Zhang Yifeng frowned when he saw this, and a little spiritual light was about to fly out of his palm, trying to save these people who lacked support.
"Boy Zhang, stop."
The Fire King's pupils shrank when he saw this, and he immediately raised his hand to stop his movement.
"Now is a critical moment. If you save one person, others will feel that there is a way out."
"They must now rely on their own willpower to take the final step, otherwise all their efforts will be wasted."
The Fire King's voice reached Zhang Yifeng's ears, his tone full of solemnity.
Zhang Yifeng knew what he meant, and he just wanted to let the people of the empire sink their boats.
If Zhang Yifeng takes action now to save those who can't stand it, it will be difficult for these people of the empire to complete the awakening of their bloodline in one go.
"Senior Fire King, I understand what you mean."
"But if we don't save them now, what's the difference between us and the Dark Emperor?"
Zhang Yifeng stared at the Fire King, and then pushed his palm away with a slight shock.
The spiritual light flew out from the palm and fell on the people who could not support themselves.
In an instant, the spiritual light came down and extinguished the flames on their bodies, healing their burns.
The Fire King looked at this scene, and what Zhang Yifeng had just said, he just remained silent for a long time.
However, the Fire King's worries did not come to pass, even with Zhang Yifeng as a guarantee.
All the people still tried their best and resisted the erosion of the flames with their own will.
In the end, more than half of the hundreds of people in the empire successfully awakened their bloodline.
At this moment, their appearance is not much different from that of the Fire Tribe people.
When the Fire King saw this scene, the solemn expression in his eyes was reduced a lot.
"Boy Zhang, I hope you can understand that I am only considering the overall situation."
After a while, the Fire King sighed, turned his head and spoke to Zhang Yifeng in a solemn voice.
"I understand what senior said, and I don't want you to be alienated from me because of these things."
"No matter how urgent we are, we shouldn't gamble with human lives."
Zhang Yifeng responded in a deep voice, looking at the Fire King with his piercing eyes.
"That's all, that's it this time."
The Fire King and Zhang Yifeng were in a stalemate for a long time. Finally, he waved his hand and walked straight out of the stronghold.
A group of Fire Tribe people, as well as those who had successfully been imbued with blood, hurriedly followed.
Xuanyuan and others came to Zhang Yifeng's side.
"Alas, Senior Fire King's temperament has changed more and more since he came to this dark space."
Zhang Yifeng sighed softly, looked at the back of Fire King leading everyone away and said in a deep voice.
"We will follow up as soon as possible. There are still many battles waiting for us."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yifeng led everyone to follow the Fire King.
And those people in the empire who failed to successfully awaken their bloodline subconsciously followed Zhang Yifeng.
At the same time, in the dark temple hidden in the sky, another soul lamp shattered next to Su Yunshan and Tai Qing who were playing chess.
Tai Qing glanced at Ling Xiaozi's broken soul lamp, but an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that Ling Xiaozi has also successfully fulfilled his destiny."
He said it calmly, as if the person who died was not the fellow practitioner who had spent countless years with him.
Su Yunshan was already used to Tai Qing's nagging look and had no intention of asking him any more about it.
After all, every time he asked, Taiqing would always change the topic and talk to him some useless nonsense.
Just when he was about to drop the chess piece in his hand, he saw Tai Qing standing up suddenly in front of him.
"Mr. Su, the Divine Ancestor summoned me to come for something."
"Mr. Su can move around here on his own from now on. If you want to see Miss Su, you can."
As if he guessed what Su Yunshan was going to ask, Tai Qing said straightforwardly.
Seeing that Tai Qing directly agreed to his request to see his adopted sister, Su Yunshan immediately swallowed back the words that had just come to his lips.
Watching Tai Qing fly away, Su Yunshan also left the chessboard to accompany his adopted sister Su Zhirou.
Being locked up alone in an empty room, Su Yunshan was afraid that something would go wrong in his adopted sister's heart.
On the other side, in the Dark Temple, the Dark Emperor was still sitting on the throne with a relaxed expression.
Taiqing, who received his order, turned into a black mist and fell into the palace, quickly condensing into shape.
"I have met Lord Divine Ancestor."
After Taiqing landed, he quickly knelt on the ground.
"You already know about Zihan and Lingxiaozi, right?"
The Dark Emperor's eyes were half-opened and he said in a lazy tone.
"Report to Lord Divine Ancestor, I already know."
"May I ask if the Divine Ancestor has called me here this time? Is it for the follow-up plan?"
Taiqing lowered his head and asked respectfully.
"Well, the current progress is still a bit too slow. Let's continue to speed up the progress."
"I will leave this important task to you with full authority. I believe you will not let me down."
The Dark Emperor waved his hand casually, and a vague light flashed in his eyes.
"Don't worry, Lord Divine Ancestor, I will definitely take care of this matter."
Tai Qing lowered his head and responded, then stood up and quickly turned into black mist and dispersed.
Watching Tai Qing disappear on the spot, the Dark Emperor suddenly sat upright.
"Heh, it turns out it's easier for you to use it."
"If he knew that the Nine Sons in Yun Zhong were used so casually by me, I'm afraid..."
The Dark Emperor paused after speaking, then smiled self-deprecatingly, and slowly closed his eyes.
Tai Qing, who left the temple, quickly fell into the dark continent and came to a group of buildings.
Sensing Tai Qing's aura, three figures in white flew out and landed in front of him.
"The Divine Ancestor has an order, ordering you to lead people to attack the Fire Tribe's camp."
Tai Qing's cold eyes swept over the three of them and said in a deep voice.
"I will obey the order of the Holy Ancestor!"
Upon hearing this, the three men in white hurriedly bowed to receive the order, dispersed and gathered the dark warriors under their command, preparing to attack the Fire Tribe as a whole.
These three people are naturally one of the Nine Sons in the Cloud, but when they met Tai Qing at this moment, they had no intention of reminiscing with him.
After receiving the order, he left with a cold face, without even looking at Tai Qing.
Tai Qing, on the other hand, seemed to have been used to this for a long time. He also turned into black mist with a cold face and flew into the sky again.
For a time, countless dark warriors were gathering on the dark continent.
