That prodigy cast a highly complex glance at the minister. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately said nothing and left without looking back.
He had to flee the Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom as quickly as possible and get far away from this place of trouble.
It was foreseeable that once the news of the Immortal King's disciples—four dead and one captured—spread, it would definitely shock the world. What if the Immortal Kings besieged the Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom then?
Their carefully cultivated disciples were dead; slaughtering a city to vent their anger wouldn't be excessive, right?
The Immortal King's disciples definitely had things like soul lamps on them. Perhaps the Immortal Kings were already rushing to the Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom at this very moment. If he didn't leave now, was he going to wait around to become cannon fodder?
As for spreading the news?
What a joke! This matter involved Immortal Kings and Emperor Gu. Was this something that could be spoken of?
He couldn't afford to offend either side.
It was better to hurry back to his sect, inform the higher-ups, and make preparations early.
A battle between Immortal Kings could break out at any moment, and the entire Sixth Star Ruin would be affected. Playing it safe was the best policy.
Therefore, this prodigy left without looking back.
The minister watched the prodigy leave in a hurry, completely baffled. Then he grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Young people nowadays really have no manners."
As he was muttering, another prodigy darted out from inside. He was so fast, it was as if some terrifying beast was chasing him.
He hurriedly went up and asked, "What's going on? Did something happen inside the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone?"
Unexpectedly, this person was even ruder than the last. Without even glancing at him, he just ran for his life.
The minister's expression instantly turned somewhat solemn. "Could something have happened in the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone?"
"No, I must stop the next person who comes out and ask clearly what exactly happened inside. The Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone is one of the foundational pillars of the Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom; absolutely nothing can go wrong."
Just as he was thinking this, the light screen at the passageway continuously trembled.
Whoosh!
The crowd rushed out all at once like a tidal wave. Everyone acted the exact same way, turning into streaks of light and fleeing for their lives, not daring to stay a moment longer.
He was stunned at first, but then he reacted and hurriedly blocked the path of a prodigy, asking, "What exactly happened inside the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone?"
That prodigy was in a great panic and wanted to run away quickly, but since he was entangled by the minister, he had to say in a hurried tone, "The heavens are about to change!"
"The heavens are about to change? What do you mean?" The minister was instantly stunned. By the time he recovered, that person had already fled without a trace.
He hurriedly stopped another one.
"Dead! They are all dead! If we don't leave now, we will all die!"
"What do you mean they are all dead? Who is dead? Explain yourself clearly!"
The minister asked for a long time, but only became even more confused.
By this time, almost everyone had run away.
He waited for a moment and suddenly realized something: Emperor Gu and the Immortal King's disciples had not come out yet!
Could something have happened to them?
Just as he was debating whether to quickly report this to Gu Ruochen, a flash of light appeared again at the passageway of the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone.
A man and a woman walked out from within.
Unlike the previous people, these two walked very slowly and unhurriedly.
It was none other than Gu Qingfeng and Gu Ling'er.
As soon as the minister saw Gu Qingfeng, he was instantly overjoyed. He hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Emperor Gu, it is wonderful that you are alright. May I ask if some major event occurred within the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone?"
Gu Qingfeng was slightly taken aback. "A major event? Did something major happen inside? Why am I not aware of it?"
In his eyes, killing four Immortal King's disciples really was not a major event.
The minister: "..."
The minister really wanted to ask right now: did you guys even go to the same place?
"Emperor Gu, then why did all those prodigies flee in panic?"
Gu Qingfeng shot him a sidelong glance and said impatiently, "What does their fleeing in panic have to do with this Emperor? Go ask them."
The minister: "..."
Forget it, I will just ask those Immortal King's disciples.
Thus, the minister cast his gaze toward the passageway of the Flying Immortal Forbidden Zone and continued to wait there.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the minister standing blankly at the entrance of the passageway and asked, "What are you still waiting for?"
The minister respectfully replied, "To answer the Emperor, I am naturally waiting for the Immortal King's disciples. Speaking of which, why haven't they come out yet?"
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand and said indifferently, "They won't be coming out."
"Won't be coming out?" The minister was stunned, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart. "What does the Emperor mean by this?"
"They are all dead, so naturally, they won't be coming out."
"What!?" The minister's face instantly changed color, and he cried out in shock, "They are all dead!? The Immortal King's disciples are all dead? How is this possible? Who killed them?"
"This Emperor killed them."
Gu Qingfeng's light and breezy words were like a bolt of lightning, viciously striking the minister's heart.
He trembled as he said, "You... you killed them all!?"
"Yep."
"But those were the Immortal King's disciples!"
"Just a bunch of worthless trash."
"No, why did you kill them?"
"Does this Emperor need a reason to kill? I originally thought the so-called Immortal King's disciples would be somewhat nobler than others. Who would have thought that their blood is also red, and when facing the threat of death, they would also beg for mercy and weep bitterly. Nothing new at all."
After Gu Qingfeng finished speaking, he left with Gu Ling'er, leaving the petrified minister standing frozen in the wind.
It is over. The heavens are truly about to change this time!
...
In the imperial palace of the Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom.
"What! You really killed all the Immortal King's disciples!?" Gu Ruochen said in shock.
This was the first time he had lost his composure like this since becoming an Immortal King.
"They were just a few ants. Is there a need to be so surprised?" Gu Qingfeng said indifferently.
"The Immortal King's disciples are not important; what is important are the Immortal Kings behind them! Those are..."
Gu Ruochen stopped mid-sentence. He suddenly remembered that Gu Qingfeng in front of him was suspected to be an existence above the Immortal King realm. Mere Immortal Kings might really be nothing to him.
Rather than focusing on this, it would be better to...
Gu Ruochen cast his gaze toward Gu Ling'er beside Gu Qingfeng. Seeing the threads of affection in his daughter's eyes when she looked at Gu Qingfeng, he came to a realization.
With his discerning eyes, he naturally saw that Gu Ling'er was no longer a maiden.
Sure enough, when a man and a woman go out traveling together, something is bound to happen.
Regarding his daughter being taken advantage of, Gu Ruochen was not angry at all; instead, he was exceptionally delighted. He had long intended to form a marriage alliance with Gu Qingfeng.
Setting aside everything else, at the very least, after the marriage alliance, the immortals of the Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom would definitely not have to worry about transcending their tribulations. By then, it wouldn't be impossible for a few more Immortal Kings to emerge.
"Emperor Gu, what do you plan to do next?" Gu Ruochen asked.
"Next, this Emperor plans to leave the Seven Stars Ancient Kingdom to rescue a family member. I came here this time, firstly, to bid you farewell, and secondly, because the journey ahead is long and arduous, I would like to borrow some travel expenses."
Gu Ruochen: "..."
Do you really think this King doesn't know how much money you made helping people transcend their tribulations!?
You also possess six Immortal King Weapons. You are simply richer than this King's national treasury—truly wealthy enough to rival a nation! And you still have the damn nerve to borrow travel expenses!?

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
