Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Long Meng’s Screams

"Shi Feng!" Piao Xueyan looked coldly at Long Meng in her hands and said icily, "Shi Feng! He set fire to our Floating Void Sect! Burnt my disciples to death. Today, I will let those close to him taste being burned by fiery flames!"

With a loud "boom," a grayish-white fiery flame ignited in Piao Xueyan’s hand, and then Long Meng’s body, as if doused in oil, ignited from face to whole body in an instant.

Soon, Long Meng turned into a burning human-shaped fiery flame, and from within the flames, terrifying screams echoed: "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"You vile woman, treating me this way, my Brother Shi Feng will not let you go. He will surely avenge me! He definitely will! Ah!" Amidst the painful and miserable screams, Long Meng’s fierce cries continued.

"Hmph! It seems burning you still isn’t enough!" With another cold snort from Piao Xueyan, the flames burning Long Meng roared even more intensely.

"Ah!" The scream that now came from Long Meng was even more pitiful, more painful!

"What should we do! What should we do! Young Master Feng! Young Master Feng, why aren’t you here yet! My imperial sister, my imperial sister!" Long Chen, standing on a city tower below, looked up at Long Meng being burned by the snow-white flames in the void, listening to her pitiful screams, felt he was about to go insane.

Although Long Meng was his half-sister from the same father but different mother, her mother died early, and his own biological mother raised her. The little girl was very close to him since childhood, mischievous and adorable, Long Chen had long regarded her as his own sister.

"Piao Xueyan, let my imperial sister go! She is innocent! I beg you, please release my imperial sister!" In this moment, Long Chen, for the sake of Long Meng, dropped his imperial demeanor and pleaded with Piao Xueyan in the void.

"Hmph! Innocent?" Upon hearing Long Chen’s words, Piao Xueyan scoffed, "Are you saying that all those disciples of my Floating Void Sect deserved to die?"

"Hmph!" Following that, Piao Xueyan let out another cold snort: "You puppet emperor, dare to refer yourself as ’I’ in front of our sect? Are you not just Shi Feng’s dog? In my eyes, you are less than nothing!"

"Piao Xueyan! You! How dare you!" Hearing Piao Xueyan’s last insult, Long Chen couldn’t restrain himself and yelled furiously, pointing directly at the sky!

His empire, although one could say it was Shi Feng who helped him establish it and placed him on the throne. But it was Shi Feng who acknowledged his status as emperor, never interjecting in his decisions.

Never treating him like a puppet or a dog!

"Long Chen is a friend of this young master, not my puppet, nor the thing your foul mouth speaks of!"

An icy shout suddenly echoed through the Imperial City, followed immediately by a figure in black charging into the void, a burst of berserk blood-colored blaze exploding from the figure, and in an instant turning into a rolling, surging sea of blood-colored fire, spreading through the void and burning towards Piao Xueyan.

"You are Shi Feng!" Looking at the figure that appeared, and at the sweeping, burning blood-colored flames, Piao Xueyan’s beautiful yet cold face suddenly became even colder, as if frosted over, clenching her teeth in hatred.

"I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!" Piao Xueyan pointed down with her left hand, turned into a sword finger, and the grayish-white strange mist covering the sky immediately moved with Piao Xueyan’s gesture, swirling and condensing into a huge grey-white handprint, descending from the sky, pressing down towards the sweeping blood-colored flames.

"Young Master Feng! It’s Young Master Feng! Young Master Feng has finally come!" Watching the black figure appear in the void, watching the blood-colored flames sweeping the sky, Long Chen, like clutching a lifeline, shouted.

"This kid, he really is an evil demon! In just a few days of not seeing him, he’s actually become stronger, so strong that even I feel my heart palpitate, utterly powerless against him!" Kirin King murmured in surprise as he watched the blood-colored blaze in the void.

"This evil demon, maybe... he really can suppress Piao Xueyan!"

As soon as Kirin King thought about this, he became somewhat excited. Originally, Kirin King thought that without any fortunate encounters, advancing further in the Martial Arts Realm was hopeless. For Kirin King, already possessing power and authority, there were no pursuits other than Martial Arts in this life.

He had secretly made up his mind to pursue a stronger path in Martial Arts and take risks, by going to the legendary burial ground of Martial Artists, the Death Forbidden Land.

When Kirin King just thought of Piao Xueyan, and the ash-white fog that enveloped the sky, he thought that Piao Xueyan might have very likely emerged from the Death Forbidden Land.

And if Shi Feng could subdue Piao Xueyan, and force her to reveal the secrets of the Death Forbidden Land... Thinking of these, Kirin King started to get excited.

In the void, an enormous gray-white handprint pressed down, and in an instant, it collided violently with the blood-colored blaze.

There wasn’t a violent overflow of energy, nor an intense boom. Underneath the handprint, the violent blood-colored blaze, like a blood-colored sea of fire, was instantly dispersed by the immense gray-white handprint.

And the gray-white handprint also disbanded in the void. In the sky, the gray-white mist that had once enveloped the Imperial Palace disappeared.

A piece of dusk-red clouds appeared above the Imperial Palace, casting down red twilight glow, bringing a sensation of clearing the fog to see a clear sky to this small world.

"Nine Nether Illusion Realm!" In the midst of the void, Shi Feng uttered a low shout, and an invisible soul attack immediately swept toward Piao Xueyan.

All of a sudden, Piao Xueyan felt the entire world suddenly turn dark. Following that, gusts of chilly wind arose around her—"Whoo Whoo Whoo!" Faintly, sounds resembling the weeping of fierce ghosts emerged, and in an instant, numerous ghost faces with tragic expressions appeared around Piao Xueyan.

"Whoo Whoo Whoo! I died such a terrible death, Sect Master!"

"Whoo Whoo! I died such a terrible death! Sect Master, why did you come so late! Why did you come so late! Where did you go! Why did you return only after we died!"

These emerging ghost faces were all the faces of deceased disciples from the Floating Void Sect.

"Piao Xueyan, you vile woman, where did your death take you, you’re unworthy to be Sect Master! You let me die such a cruel death, even if I have become a ghost, I will not let you go! I want you to pay with your life!" This emerging ghost face was that of the Right Elder of the Floating Void Sect, the old crone Wei Fang.

Wei Fang’s face was mangled and covered in blood, her eyes, filled with blood vessels, glared straight at Piao Xueyan. Following that, the ghostly incarnation of Wei Fang opened her cavernous mouth, revealing two rows of ferocious, blood-stained fangs, and bit towards Piao Xueyan.

"Piao Xueyan, you vile woman, unworthy of being Sect Master, causing us to die a horrible death, even as ghosts, we will not let you go!"

Then, one after another, numerous tragic and terrifying ghost faces, all opened their huge mouths, revealing ferocious bloodstained fangs, surged violently towards Piao Xueyan!
