The Empire’s Border

The Emperor looked at the Second Prince and said, "You are now the new Emperor of Lingyun, but I can give you some advice. We're not a match for the other four kingdoms. Just give Qingfeng up."

Qingfeng didn't say anything, only looking at the Second Prince, because he knew that the Second Prince thought otherwise.

Shortly afterwards, the Second Prince shook his head and said, "You were brought back to life thanks to the monarch soul fruit that Qingfeng brought back."

Then the Second Prince told the Emperor of the dangers they faced inside the Crimson Fire Desert, and how it was Qingfeng who killed the other four kingdoms' princes and the final disciples of the three supreme sects. 

The Emperor's face changed when he heard the Second Prince, as his face turned initially white, then green. Hesitation, fear, and all sorts of complex emotions appeared on his face.
