Chapter 196: The Death of Li Feng
Yang Chen had just set down the wine jar when he felt a surge of heat rising from his Dantian, causing his whole body to warm slightly.
"Husband, Mingyue also offers you a drink," Tian Mingyue said as she raised her wine cup.
"Good." After downing a mouthful of wine, Yang Chen no longer cared about anything else and spoke loudly.
"Sister Xier, let me toast you," Tian Mingyue said with slightly flushed cheeks, while Roxie appeared completely unfazed.
"Good, drink," Roxie said boldly.
"Captain, the lord of Yongbing City, Li Mingheng, has come to seek an audience with his son," a member of the Heavenly Guardian Puppet Corps rushed in and reported respectfully.
The Heavenly Guardian Puppet Corps was led by Luo Tianyou's Red Tooth Puppet Brigade.
"Li Mingheng? What does he want?" Luo Tianyou asked.
"The Gale Commander said he brought his son to apologize."
"Oh?" Luo Tianyou looked at Yang Chen and inquired, "Nephew, this matter arose because of you. Should we meet them or not?"
"Let them in," Yang Chen said lightly, a hint of a smile on his lips.
"Yes, uncle." The person quickly addressed him as uncle instead of Celestial Emperor.
Immediately, Roxie joyfully exclaimed, "Reward him with one hundred Purple Gold Coins!"
"Thank you, Miss." After saying that, he respectfully withdrew.
"Lord Taishan, what do you think of this Li Feng?" Yang Chen asked.
“Li Feng? Just a wayward son, why did you suddenly bring him up?” Luo Tianyou asked in confusion.
“Wayward son? Ha ha, this time Taishan Lord must have misjudged.” Yang Chen laughed heartily.
At this moment, Li Mingheng entered the main hall with Li Feng. Yao Tianshang hurriedly stood up, positioning himself behind Yang Chen.
“Commoner Li Feng, pays respects to the Celestial Emperor.” Upon entering the hall, Li Feng respectfully knelt down, without greeting Luo Tianyou.
“Raging Wind Puppet Soldier Corps Captain Li Mingheng pays respects to the Celestial Emperor and Yongbing Wang.” Unlike Li Feng, Li Mingheng did not kneel but bent slightly, respectfully speaking, first bowing to Yang Chen, then to Luo Tianyou.
“No need for formalities, Gale Commander, please take a seat.” Luo Tianyou said with a smile, as Li Mingheng was under his jurisdiction.
“Thank you, Yongbing Wang.” Li Mingheng replied respectfully and then sat down in the position just vacated by Yao Tianshang.
“This commoner brought my son here to apologize to the Best Actor.” As soon as he sat down, Li Mingheng stood up again and explained to Yang Chen.
“Sit down and speak.” Yang Chen waved his hand, indicating for Li Mingheng to take a seat, then said: “Li Feng, why are you kneeling before me?”
“Because this commoner has committed an offense and has offended the Celestial Emperor.” Li Feng replied respectfully.
“Since you have committed an offense, why do you still refer to yourself as a commoner?” Yang Chen looked at Li Feng, saying with amusement.
“Because this commoner is not from the Shadow Kill Empire, and does not belong to the subjects of Shadow Kill. Moreover, the Celestial Emperor has already pardoned this commoner.” Li Feng said calmly, showing no trace of being a wayward son.
“You know that I have already pardoned you, so what offense do you still have?” Yang Chen said lazily.
“This.” Li Feng was momentarily speechless.
“Rise.” A hint of disappointment flashed in the corner of Yang Chen’s eye as he softly said.
“I know my sins are deep; offending the Celestial Emperor and the Consort is unforgivable, hence I do not wish to rise.” Li Feng said joyfully in his eyes.
This hint of joy did not escape Yang Chen's gaze, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Then tell me, what punishment do you deserve for colliding with me and Mingyue Consort?"
"I have not yet entered the Shadowkill Celestial Kingdom and am unaware of its laws," Li Feng replied respectfully.
"According to Shadow Kill Law, anyone who collides with me shall be executed along with their entire family!" Yang Chen said coldly.
"Best Actor!"
"Husband," Roxie immediately interjected.
Luo Tianyou also frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Yang Chen's law, as Li Feng's family included everyone in the Raging Wind Puppet Soldier Corps.
"There is another rule in Shadow Kill Law: the harem must not interfere in politics. Xier, do not let this happen again," Yang Chen said calmly as he looked at Roxie.
"Yes, husband, Xier understands," Roxie quickly admitted her mistake, knowing that Yang Chen was serious.
"Shadow Kill Law can only target its Shadow Kill subjects. Celestial Emperor, I am not one yet," Li Feng said respectfully.
You little brat, do you still want me to give you a proper title? Yang Chen thought with a smile in his heart.
"In order to enter Shadow Kill, are you willing to abandon the Nine Clans?" Yang Chen asked playfully. Li Feng glanced at Li Mingheng and then firmly said, "If I can enter Shadow Kill, even if it means exterminating ten clans, I can create ten clans anew!"
"Ha ha, good. Then you may take your own life," Yang Chen said arrogantly.
"Please show mercy, Best Actor," Li Mingheng quickly pleaded.
"Thank You, Emperor of Shadows!" Li Feng said respectfully.
With a swish, Li Feng took his sword and ended his own life. His soul emerged from his body.
"Feng'er!" Li Mingheng shouted angrily.
Yang Chen took out the Crown of Heaven and directed it towards Li Feng's Soul. Subsequently, a surge of fortune energy flowed from the Crown of Heaven, gradually clarifying Li Feng's Soul. Yang Chen then said, "Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow."
"Heaven!"
"One, three, five, ten." Yang Chen asked again.
"Five."
"I will take good care of your family," Yang Chen said solemnly.
"Xie Xian Emperor."
"My Lord, please rise," Yang Chen said with authority. He then collected Li Feng's Soul into the Celestial Ranking and addressed Li Mingheng, "Your son is dead. Do you have anything to say to me?"
"I have nothing to say. If Feng can die as he wishes, then it is peaceful," Li Mingheng replied despondently.
"Well, since that is the case, let us drink a few more cups together," Yang Chen said calmly.
"Thank you, Emperor of Shadows," Li Mingheng nodded in response.
"Taishan Lord, I wish to request a position as a city lord," Yang Chen stated.
"Well, since my esteemed nephew has spoken, Gale Commander, from now on, Yongbing Wangcheng will be under your command," Luo Tianyou said.
"This, this... Yongbing Wang, how can this be?" Li Mingheng exclaimed in surprise.
"This is your son's wish; you should accept it," Yang Chen said.
"I will soon go to Lingxiao City to establish the new headquarters for my Yongbing City. You may take charge of Yongbing Wangcheng," Luo Tianyou casually remarked.
"Thank you, Yongbing Wang. Mingheng will not disappoint your expectations," Li Mingheng quickly stood up and said.
"Mm." Luo Tianyou said lightly.
"Best Actor, Yongbing Wang, I request to take my leave. I want to properly bury my son," Li Mingheng requested.
"Go ahead. This is your son's wish, and you shouldn't keep it on your mind," Luo Tianyou said.
Yang Chen also nodded lightly.
"I understand. I take my leave." After that, Li Mingheng trembled as he picked up the lifeless Li Feng from the ground and turned to leave the hall. In that moment of turning, tears streamed down his face as he walked away in despair.
"Nephew, do you think this is a bit too much?" Luo Tianyou said with a frown.
"A bit cruel? Heh, I don't think so," Yang Chen replied nonchalantly. "Taishan Lord, I'm tired, so I won't accompany you any longer."
"Do as you wish. Xier, please take my nephew to rest," Luo Tianyou said.
Roxie nodded, then glanced at Yang Chen and the bloodstains on the ground before coldly saying, "Husband, let's go."
"Mm." Yang Chen nodded and said to Tian Mingyue, "Mingyue, come with me."
Tian Mingyue nodded and replied, "Mm."
