Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

Seeing that Xiao Jinhu was so angry about what he said and had done such a thing, the dean not only wasn't angry but also laughed: "If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Lin Xinze pursed his lips and smiled: "Grandpa Dongfang, don't worry, I'm fine."

“Grandpa was worried before, but now he’s relieved.” After saying that, the dean looked at Ling Yi and said, “I haven’t been able to see Xinze for the past few days. How about letting Xinze follow you during the day?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xinze looked at Ling Yi expectantly.

Ling Yi said calmly, "No need."

Upon hearing this, the light in Lin Xinze's eyes dimmed.

Ling Yi said, "With the Dark Night Golden Tiger following him, there's no need to worry about his safety. Just do it the way it was before."

The dean thought about it and agreed.

The two talked with the dean for a while inside the room. As they were about to leave, Emperor Dongyang called out, "Ling Yi."

Ling Yi looked over: "Your Majesty, is there something you need?"

"I do have something I want to tell you." Emperor Dongyang looked at Dongfang Jibai: "Take Xinze and Little Golden Tiger out to play for a while."

Dongfang Jibai nodded: "Yes, Father." Then he went to take Lin Xinze's hand.

Lin Xinze glanced at Ling Yi, then led Xiao Jinhu and Dongfang Jibai out of the house.

Once they left, only Ling Yi, the Dean, and Emperor Dongyang remained in the room.

Emperor Dongyang looked at Ling Yi: "Ji Zhengchuan opened the Beast Suppression Gate, intending to use the beasts to harm the students. I will not let this matter rest just because he is dead. I will hold the Ji family accountable. No matter where the Ji family members are, I will send people to find them."

Ling Yi looked at Emperor Dongyang: "If it's about this matter, Your Majesty doesn't need to tell me. As long as the Ji family doesn't appear before me, everything will be fine. But if they want to avenge Ji Zhengchuan, then there will only be one outcome."

No matter how many come, she kills them all.

Emperor Dongyang looked at Ling Yi: "The reason I'm telling you this is because it reflects my stance."

"If that's the case, I understand His Majesty's attitude." Ling Yi asked, "Does His Majesty have anything else to say?"

Emperor Dongyang nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he felt a tickle in his throat and then coughed violently.

"Luo Shu, sit down quickly." The dean saw that Emperor Dongyang was coughing so badly and tried to get up from the bed to help him.

"Uncle, please don't..." Emperor Dongyang quickly sat down, but his cough didn't stop. It took a while for it to subside.

After calming down, Emperor Dongyang looked at Ling Yi and said, "I would like to tell you a story. Would you like to hear it?"

If it were anyone else, Ling Yi would definitely not want to listen, but the Emperor of Dongyang…

Of the four great empires, the Northern Underworld Empire possesses unique ice and water spiritual sources, the Western Flame Empire possesses unique fire spiritual sources, and the Southern Kite Empire possesses unique wood spiritual sources, but only the Eastern Yang Imperial Family lacks them.

However, that was before Dongfang Jibai met Emperor Dongyang. After that, Ling Yi discovered a problem.

Emperor Dongyang has spiritual roots but no cultivation, just like Mu Shengyuan was on that day. This means that Emperor Dongyang's original power was also swallowed up.

Ling Yi was curious about this: "Your Majesty, please speak."

Seeing that Ling Yi was interested, Emperor Dongyang began to recount: "That was thirty years ago. At that time, I was just a prince. I considered myself to be exceptionally talented and did not want to stay in the academy to cultivate day after day, so I went out to travel."

"At that time, I possessed the Different Ice Spirit Source. In order to improve my cultivation, the first place I went was the Northern Underworld Empire. But I never expected that I would encounter a life-threatening ordeal in the Northern Underworld Empire."

At this point, Emperor Dongyang seemed to return to that day, and his expression became painful: "The Northern Underworld Empire is full of wind and snow, and has a vast snowfield that the other three great empires do not have. My spiritual root is an ice spiritual root, so I went to the snowfield. However, not long after entering the snowfield, I encountered a beast tide. While hiding from the beast tide, I lost my way and entered the depths of the snowfield."

“Deep in the snowfield, there were few people except for beasts. Just when I thought I would never be able to get out of that place, I encountered a group, and I had seen the leader of that group at the Imperial Ceremony.”

“He was an elder responsible for protecting the Crown Prince of Beiming. He was quite powerful. I wanted to leave the snowfield, so I approached them and revealed my identity. At that time, I thought they would take me with them, but they didn’t.”

“They were going deep into the snowfield and it was inconvenient for them to take me with them. They gave me a map and told me that as long as I followed the path on the map, I could get out.”

"After thanking them, I intended to leave, but..." Emperor Dongyang closed his eyes: "It's my own fault."

Emperor Dongyang sighed: "I was young then and interested in everything. I was curious why that elder wasn't by the side of Crown Prince Beiming, but instead led such a team deep into the snowfield, so I followed him."

"It was this very act that led me to witness an extremely shocking scene," Emperor Dongyang said slowly. "After the group ventured deep into the snowfield, they stopped at the edge of a crevice. The group then descended into the crevice, and I followed them down shortly after they did. I followed their trail forward and eventually saw them again, but this time, in addition to them, there was another man."

“I heard the elders tell that man to hand over Princess Changheng. The man told the elders to get lost. The elders told the man that they had come here no matter what, to bring back Princess Changheng.”

"That elder had the cultivation of a Spirit Saint, and the rest of the group were all Spirit Venerable experts. That man was no match for them and was killed by them."

"After the elders killed the man, they broke into the house behind him, only to find Princess Changheng's corpse and an infant in swaddling clothes."

"As the elders were leaving the house with the princess's body and the child, a cloud of black mist emerged from the already dead man and rushed toward the elders. After that, the elders suddenly attacked the people around them, snatching the princess's body and the child."

"I saw the elder making moves and then stopping, as if there were two people inside his body, fighting for control of the body," Emperor Dongyang said slowly. "The elder told the others to take the princess's body and the child away. He wanted to self-destruct to stop the person inside him from controlling his body and chasing after them."

"The others followed the elder's orders and ran away with Princess Changheng's body and the child. Seeing that the situation was not good, I ran away as well."

"We hadn't run far when we heard an explosion behind us. It was the elder who self-destructed," Emperor Dongyang said. "But the elder's self-destruction didn't eliminate the black mist. The black mist caught up, and even the elder was no match for it, let alone the others. Back then, I was young and still had some humanity. I thought that since they had given me the map, I couldn't just stand by and watch them die, so I took action. But I couldn't defeat the black mist. When they saw me, they handed the child over to me and told me to take the child and leave. Once we got out, I was to hand the child over to their Crown Prince."

"They told me to leave, while they used Princess Changheng's corpse to distract the black mist and buy me time. I fled with the child, but it wasn't long before the black mist caught up. I was no match for it; if it caught up, I would surely die. At the critical moment, I took out the Strange Ice Spirit Source..."
