"My Lord Loria, how should these people be dealt with?"
After controlling the residual divine soul power of Fulius, Viss led a group of Heavenly Mandate Divine Guards and, in less than ten minutes, had apprehended all other members of the Angelic Nation.
Darte, once a high and mighty divine son, was now a captive. He looked at the still noble and sacred British Empress, shaking his head and chuckling self-mockingly.
Recalling his previous actions, he felt like a clown, so utterly overconfident.
Now that even the divine soul power of a holy angel had been controlled, did he, a divine son, still have a path to survival?
"How to deal with them?"
Loria glanced indifferently at Darte and the others. For Darte and all of them, it was undoubtedly a gaze of death.
Their lives or deaths hung on her whim.
"Let them go!"
After a moment of contemplation, Loria gently uttered three words.
"Wh-what?"
Viss looked shocked.
Not only he, but Darte himself, doubted if he had heard correctly, his eyes wide open, pupils filled with bewilderment.
"Yes!"
Viss was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses, waved to the Heavenly Mandate Guards, signaling them to release the people.
Although he didn't know why Loria was doing this, as the God-King of Wisdom, she must have her reasons.
He was only responsible for execution.
Darte and the others regained their freedom, their expressions somewhat vacant. They stood still, not daring to move, fearing that one wrong move and they would instantly lose their lives.
"British Empress, what is the meaning of this?" Darte clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
If he had a choice, he would naturally not wish for death.
But to live on in such an unclear manner made him feel even more uncomfortable.
As the divine son of the Angelic Nation, he had his pride.
"The Angelic Nation is one of the eight super-powers, and I have no great animosity towards you. That's all." A glint flashed in Loria's beautiful eyes, and she continued, "Therefore, why must we fight to the death?"
This reason seemed to have no contradiction. However, Darte could not believe it at all.
"If what you say is true, then why was the divine soul power of Lord Fulius controlled?" Darte said indifferently, "What you did will provoke more anger from the Angelic Nation than killing me, a divine son."
After all, a divine son could be replaced at any time.
"Is that so?"
Loria let out a cold laugh and said, "But I think you've misunderstood. My not wanting to fall out with the Angelic Nation does not mean that what you did before can be written off."
"My letting you go is my sincerity towards the Angelic Nation that I do not wish to be enemies. As for Fulius's divine soul power..." Loria looked at the divine soul fire in her hand, her tone lowering, "that is the price you should pay."
After speaking, Loria turned around, leaving a final warning: "Go back and tell your Archangel that as long as the Angelic Nation behaves itself, Fulius's divine soul will not be harmed. Otherwise..."
"I don't mind letting a Holy Angel fall!"
After the last syllable fell, Loria's figure transformed into a golden light and vanished.
Viss and the others also left.
"Divine Son, we..."
Darte's subordinates behind him were still trembling, especially Loria's last words, which made everyone's heads spin and their hearts pound.
Letting a Holy Angel fall, was this not a joke?
"Let's go! Back to the divine realm!"
Darte took a deep look at the British Royal Palace, his heart filled with extreme complexity. He sighed heavily and left.
...
*Clap, clap, clap!*
"Amazing!"
In the grand hall, Ye Ming, sitting on the throne, looked at the golden figure approaching him and couldn't help but applaud, unable to contain his praise.
He had seen everything that had happened before. Several times, he had almost intervened.
But now, it seemed he had been overly worried.
Loria's plan had already taken into account all unstable factors.
"There was still a slight miscalculation!"
Loria gracefully stepped forward, naturally sat on Ye Ming's lap, and said with a hint of regret, "Fulius was too decisive. After discovering the characteristics of the formation, he directly chose to burn his divine soul power."
Speaking of which, she looked at the remaining wisp of divine soul power in her hand, "If there were a little more, then our trump card to restrain the Angelic Nation would be stronger."
Indeed, at the last moment, Fulius had almost desperately burned his divine soul power. If Viss and the others had not used almost all their strength, they might not have even been able to control the remaining wisp of divine soul power.
"It's alright, leave it to me!"
Ye Ming controlled the divine soul flame in his palm, his eyes narrowed, silver-white radiance flickering within his pupils, and an ancient aura emanated from him.
"Reverse!"
A pure white energy enveloped the divine soul fire in his hand. Under Ye Ming's intervention, Fulius's divine soul power, which had only a wisp remaining, was constantly solidifying and growing stronger.
"This is... the power of reincarnation!"
Loria watched Ye Ming's method and couldn't help but cover her small mouth, exclaiming in surprise.
This was the first time she had seen Ye Ming use it.
It was known that the power of reincarnation possessed the terrifying ability to reverse time and space, and could return all things to their original state.
Previously, when Ye Ming treated Chuan Ye Zhen, he had used a large amount of reincarnation power to create a miracle of rejuvenation.
However, now, Fulius's divine soul power had not dissipated for long, and the time interval was very short. For Ye Ming, it was not difficult to trace it back to its previous state.
Compared to Chuan Ye Zhen, it was not on the same level at all.
Therefore, a moment later, Fulius's divine soul power had been restored to its original state.
"Done!"
Ye Ming handed the divine soul flame to Loria and said with a smile, "This is your own achievement. How you use it is up to you to decide."
"Okay!"
Loria smiled charmingly, did not refuse, and then put away the divine soul fire.
"I watched your battle earlier, and I have to say, your abilities are somewhat unsolvable!"
Ye Ming gently embraced Loria's slender waist, recalling the scene of their previous battle, and couldn't help but sigh.
"An ability with no offensive attributes, how can it be as exaggerated as you say?"
Loria shook her head, seeming to disagree with Ye Ming's words.
No offensive attributes?
"That's not what I mean..."
Ye Ming looked at her, "You are the great strategist of our faction. You don't need offensive attributes at all. As long as no one can easily harm you, that's enough."
How could such a beauty be sent to the battlefield?
Wasn't it better to strategize from the clouds?
"Indeed!"
Loria's delicate body leaned forward slightly, her beautiful face blooming with the most radiant smile. She gently placed her arms around Ye Ming's neck, her eyes filled with a hint of allure, "You will protect me, won't you?"
Faced with her challenge, Ye Ming could not retreat in the slightest. He gently tightened his hands on her slender waist, lifting Loria completely, changing her sitting posture from on his lap to straddling him, bringing them even closer together.
This action instantly brought a blush to Loria's cheeks, and her delicate body became somewhat stiff.
Due to the golden gauze dress she was wearing, the change in posture made the fabric between them even thinner, thus making certain sensations and touches particularly sensitive.
"If you want my protection, you have to pay a price."
Ye Ming lifted her hips and rested his forehead against hers, leaning in close to her delicate red lips and said with a wicked smile, "Are you ready to pay the price?"
"Price?"
Loria felt her body melting at this moment. She bit her lips, her thoughts struggling on the verge of collapse, "My price requires blood, you must be gentle!"
Hearing this, Ye Ming's Adam's apple bobbed. He subconsciously sat up straight, almost getting carried away, and said hoarsely, "Perhaps... we should change places."
To make the person on him bleed here felt a bit too hasty.
"Are... you sure?"
Loria exhaled hot air, maintaining a last shred of clarity, "This is the throne, and I... am the Empress, you know!"
Empress!
And here, on the throne...
This highly stimulating word exploded in Ye Ming's mind. All his reason and clarity were instantly thrown to the back of his mind.
His blood-red eyes were replaced by desire. His aura surged, isolating the entire hall from the outside world. After doing all this, her tempting red lips became the first target to be conquered.
A moment later:
Clouds and rain rise, Mount Wu appears, one mountain rises and another falls.
Above the clouds, in the rise and fall, waves surge and tides recede.
A drop of plum blossom, falling red fragrance, this love is sung softly and lingering.
The moon is dark, the sun and moon cycle, falling into a deep sleep, then waking up.
...
As the sun rose in the east, peace reigned within the palace.
The throne was still the throne, but the embracing couple on it had changed.
"Mmm!"
A soft murmur, the beauty was murmuring in her sleep, and the man opened his eyes. Recalling the wild intimacy of the night, he smiled with satisfaction.
Ye Ming glanced at the clothes scattered around, then focused his gaze on the person lying on him. He gently picked her up and took her to a fragrant room behind the hall, placing her softly on an ancient-looking soft bed, and smiled gently.
At this moment, the sleeping person also woke up, opening her hazy eyes. Her vision was immediately filled by the man she loved. She smiled.
"Rest well!"
Ye Ming leaned down slightly, kissed her delicate forehead.
"Are you leaving?"
Loria asked.
"Are you trying to drive me away?" Ye Ming asked with a smile, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Hmph!"
Loria did not answer, but merely pouted playfully and hid her head back under the covers.
Of course, she did not want him to leave.
"Alright! I'll wait for you to finish handling the affairs of the British Kingdom before we leave together." Ye Ming shook his head and smiled, "You know, we need to establish an alliance as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Loria poked her small head out, "Mmm! I'll finish dealing with it as soon as possible. The British Kingdom will be our base."
"Good! You sleep a little longer, I'll go and check on the Heavenly Mandate Divine Guards."
"Mmm! Go ahead!"
Ye Ming turned and left. Loria watched his retreating back, her eyes as gentle as water, her small face filled with contentment. Then, she fell into a deep sleep.
...
"My Lord!"
Seeing Ye Ming arrive, Viss and the other Heavenly Mandate Divine Guards quickly bowed, all of them shocked.
After all, they did not know that Ye Ming had already arrived yesterday.
He had been secretly present.
"No need for formalities!"
Ye Ming stepped forward, his gaze lingering on Viss as he looked him up and down with great satisfaction. "I saw the Six-Pointed Soul Locking Formation you used yesterday, and it was very good."
"Mmm?"
Viss asked in surprise, "Were you here last night, my Lord?"
"Naturally!" Ye Ming smiled, "After all, it's related to the Angelic Nation, so we can't be careless."
"My Lord's foresight is admirable. Your subordinate is convinced." Viss said with great admiration.
"Uh!"
This made Ye Ming a little embarrassed.
But it didn't matter.
"Besides the Six-Pointed Soul Locking Formation, have you practiced any other formations?" Ye Ming asked.
After all, this British Kingdom would be their base in the future, so Ye Ming naturally wanted to understand comprehensively what his subordinates had mastered and then make up for any deficiencies.
"Besides the Six-Pointed Soul Locking Formation, Lady Loria has also given us three other sets of formations."
Viss beckoned, and three other Heavenly Mandate Divine Guards with Soul Origin realm cultivation stepped forward. He introduced them one by one, "This is Frogg, led by him, they have mastered the Seven-Star Killing Formation. With the current power of this formation, an ordinary Innate realm expert can be killed."
"Greetings, my Lord!"
Frogg bowed respectfully.
He was tall, a full head taller than Viss beside him. He looked to be in his early thirties and exuded a sharp aura.
"Good! Indeed, he is suitable to be the main commander of the Seven-Star Killing Formation."
Ye Ming nodded with a smile.
"This is Beta, the master controller of the Seven-Colored Illusion Formation."
Viss looked at a man who was thin but full of spirit. From him, a sense of illusion could be faintly perceived.
His presence was very low.
"Oh! Your abilities are quite special, you are a born illusionist." Ye Ming's eyes lit up, and he praised repeatedly.
"My Lord overpraises me!"
Beta bowed with a salute and then retreated.
It seemed he was not talkative.
"And this last one is Mu Yan, who controls the Royal Palace's Guardian Formation. As our last line of defense, even facing an invasion by four or five Innate realm experts, it would not be easy to break through."
Viss patted Mu Yan's shoulder, seeing their good relationship.
"Hahaha! I've long heard that my Lord is like a dragon that shows its head but not its tail. To be able to meet you today is truly fortunate!"
Mu Yan was hearty and unrestrained, without any fear of facing Ye Ming, only excitement.
"To be able to withstand the attacks of four or five Innate realm experts simultaneously, this truly maximizes the function of the Guardian Formation."
Ye Ming patted Mu Yan's shoulder and instantly felt the strength of his physique, "When your cultivation improves, perhaps you can even block Celestial realm experts."
"That's for sure!"
Mu Yan patted his chest, full of confidence.
"Good, each of you has surprised me." Ye Ming looked at the Heavenly Mandate Divine Guards and said with a smile, "You are my first direct subordinate team. I apologize for not being able to personally guide you these years that I was away."
"And today, I will make it all up to you."
Ye Ming suddenly took a step forward, silver-white radiance interweaving in his pupils, and the sacred, ancient aura within his body surged forth once more:
"Reincarnation Domain, activate!"
