"Splat!"

Yun Qingyan was awakened by the pain. His face was burning hot, as if millions of ants were biting him, his skin had been peeled off!

I found myself in a dark dungeon, with no sound around me.

In the distance, a man walked towards them with measured steps. His face was so familiar it felt like looking in a mirror.

But Yun Qingyan still recognized the other party at a glance.

"Yun Qingqing!"

"What's wrong, my Empress sister? Are you feeling a piercing pain that gnaws at your bones?"

"Yun Qing said calmly, "Why, I have treated you well."

Power, throne, everything today, it's all given.

"Imperial Sister, you are kind to this King, but this King desires more. Your throne, your empire, everything!"

Therefore, I can only replace you when you are weak and become the true emperor.

Yun Qingqing's greed was apparent, even with her captivating beauty and refined demeanor.

Yun Qingyan wanted to exert his strength, but he found that his limbs were already stiff and unmoving.

Eighteen soul-consuming nails have been used to suppress the suppressed soul and power.

"Useless Empress sister, you treat me so well, why don't you just give me all your talent and cultivation?"

The blue cloud, held in one hand, pours forth its power through words, drawing them out bit by bit.

"As if you'd get it! In your dreams!"

Being stared at like this by Yun Qingyan, Yun Qingqing was furious.

"I hate your eyes!"

Hate the look of everything!

When Yun Qingyan raised his other hand, the world turned black before his eyes, and his face was covered in wounds.

A pain that pierced the bone, yet failed to elicit even a muffled groan. It was as if he felt no pain at all.

"Yun Qingqing, with you alone, you couldn't have orchestrated such a grand scheme. Who is guiding you from behind the scenes?"

Only one person besides himself knows about this weakness of the soul.

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft chuckle reached his ears.

A man in white, gentle and polite, appeared with a smile as warm as spring breeze.

"Xiao Yan, it's you! Haha... This Emperor should have known."

"My dear, it is all your fault. You refused to let me be your emperor husband, so I have no choice but to destroy you myself."

He spoke lightly, but his eyes were filled with a deep-seated obsession and anger.

Yun Qingyan smiled, "Who destroys whom, it's not necessarily clear yet!"

As soon as his words fell, the entire underground palace collapsed.

"What's going on!" Xiao Yan glared angrily at Yun Qingqing.

"What did you do?!"

He realized what was happening, and his face contorted with rage.

"You dare to invoke the Nine Heavens' Thunder, seeking to condense immortal bones?"

Yun Qingyan laughed, her eyes blurry, looking empty towards them.

"Betrayed Me, Do You Regret It?"

Fear crept across Xiao Yan and Yun Qingqing's faces.

"Master, you cannot relinquish your position, or we will all perish!"

Xiao Yan shouted fiercely, "You're right, he must die!"

The two of them together, wielding power capable of destroying heaven and earth, watched as a bolt of lightning struck Yun Qingyan.

"Die with me!"

When progressing further, being obstructed and affected is very difficult, let alone the presence of soul-eating nails.

The terrifying power erupted in the underground palace, destroying the entire structure.

Unseen, space twisted for a moment, tearing Yun Qingyan's shattered soul into pieces and dragging it in.

On the vibrant Chi Ling Continent, within a newly built house adorned with lanterns and festive decorations, a maid let out a sharp shriek.

"The queen has committed suicide by poison!"

"Go and report to the King at once."

For a moment, the entire back garden of the palace was in chaos.

Yun Qingyan felt a burning sensation in her throat, as if something was stuck there.

"Ahem."

He suddenly sat up and couldn't help but spit.

A maidservant beside him, with a veil in her hand poised to cover his face, let out another sharp cry.

"Oh! The princess has played us."
