#182 - Did they all withdraw?
Lin Tianyi was, of course, extremely anxious.

What was Xu Fengqiu doing?
He was slaughtering the civil and military officials of the Northern Underworld Empire!
Once he finished killing them, the system would determine that Lin Tianyi had lost his position as Emperor of the Northern Underworld Empire.
More than half of his previous rewards would be taken back!
Once they were taken back, he would be too weak.
Why?
Why would Xu Fengqiu inexplicably want to kill his civil and military officials? Damn it!
No normal person would do that, right?
Did Xu Fengqiu really want to become the Emperor of the Northern Underworld Empire?
Lin Tianyi quickly said, "Do you think what you're doing is right? You should be dealing with this Emperor and this Emperor's royal family, but now you're killing a group of unrelated officials. What's the point? Don't you think you're being too cruel?"
"Ah?"
Xu Fengqiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Brother Lin, when you ascended to the throne, you killed more than half of these civil and military officials. What? Now you want me to show mercy, and think I'm being cruel?"
"The battle between you and me shouldn't involve others."
"Hahaha."
Xu Fengqiu laughed loudly, "The problem now isn't the battle between you and me, but that I want to be the Emperor of the Northern Underworld Empire. Shouldn't I kill these subjects who originally belonged to you?"
"Aren't they going to surrender to you?" Lin Tianyi asked loudly.
These were not important!
What was important was that they couldn't die!
Wait!
If they really surrendered to Xu Fengqiu.
Wouldn't that also mean that his position as Emperor was gone? Damn it?
"Back then, countless civil and military officials surrendered to you, right? Didn't you kill them all, Brother Lin? Why is it different when it comes to me?"
Lin Tianyi wanted to say something.
Xu Fengqiu said, "Alright, I won't say anymore. This new Emperor of the Northern Underworld Empire has a lot of things to do."
Then the image disappeared.
Lin Tianyi was extremely panicked.
It's over! It's over!
Was Xu Fengqiu going on a killing spree?
It's over!
Were his rewards going to be gone?
No way, damn it!
"Someone! Someone!"
Lin Tianyi roared.
"Your Majesty!"
Several Immortal Emperors flashed to his side.
"Send the order, retreat! Everyone retreat!"
"What?"
Hearing this, they were stunned.
Retreat?
"Your Majesty, we're about to take this place, do we really want to retreat?"
Lin Tianyi gritted his teeth.
They had only just broken the sect's protective formation!
After breaking it, they still had to fight them.
He also had to worry about whether there was the same kind of poisonous fog on the Holy Yao Empress's imperial island as there was in the Xu family.
Even if he refined the antidote pills, it would still take a long time.
He couldn't afford to delay!
It was impossible for him to leave a part of the people here and send another part to fight Xu Fengqiu.
That would probably lead to both sides being finished!
Now, he either had to take down the Holy Yao Empire with all his might.
And get the rewards.
Or, go back and protect his position as Emperor with all his might.
Which was more important?
Obviously, the latter!
If he failed this time, it wouldn't matter.
It wouldn't be considered a failure.
As long as he could take it down, the rewards could be given at any time.
But, if Xu Fengqiu really went on a killing spree.
Then it would really be over!
He had to gamble.
Gamble that Xu Fengqiu wouldn't directly go on a killing spree.
And wouldn't kill until the system determined that Lin Tianyi had lost his position as Emperor.
As long as he returned in time.
Then everything would definitely be fine.
Yes!
He did suffer a crushing defeat!
But even if he suffered a crushing defeat, as long as he ultimately won, he still won.
A temporary failure was nothing.
But he couldn't lose these things.
So…
"Retreat! Return to the Northern Underworld Empire at the fastest speed!"
Lin Tianyi shouted.
"This…? Yes!"
Then, Lin Tianyi led all the experts to the Northern Underworld Empire as quickly as possible.
"This?"
For a time, the onlookers, the experts from various forces, and even the experts from the Holy Yao Empress's royal family were stunned.
"Ah? Why did they retreat? What's going on? The sect's protective formation was about to be broken, why are they running?"
"Strange, what does this mean?"
"Could something have happened?"
"…"
"This…"
Lin Zhan was also dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty, they… retreated?"
To be honest, Xi Shengyao was also very confused.
Yes, she knew that Xu Fengqiu's plan was like this.
But, she didn't understand what Xu Fengqiu had done in the Northern Underworld Empire that could make Lin Tianyi retreat even when he was just one step away from victory?
How strange.
"Hmm…" Xi Shengyao nodded.
"Could it be some kind of conspiracy?" Lin Zhan asked.
"Xu Fengqiu should have already won over there," Xi Shengyao said.
…
"Master, why did they leave?"
Liu Yunyan also showed a surprised expression.
"I don't understand."
She really didn't understand.
What hadn't Liu Yunyan seen over the years?
But many things related to Xu Fengqiu were full of strangeness.
Yes!
She received news that Xu Fengqiu had already taken down the remaining royal family in the Northern Underworld Empire.
Then, theoretically, what would he do next?
Sneak attack.
And then?
There's nothing else, right?
Then how could he force Lin Tianyi back?
Wait!
She received news that Xu Fengqiu was going to declare himself Emperor in the Northern Underworld Empire.
That's not right either.
Even if Xu Fengqiu wanted to declare himself Emperor in the Northern Underworld Empire and take Lin Tianyi's position as Emperor.
What's the point?
Did he have the ability to defend this imperial throne?
No.
Lin Tianyi didn't need to care, he could just do whatever he wanted.
After taking down the Holy Yao Empire, he could reorganize and then take back his position as Emperor of the Northern Underworld Empire.
Xu Fengqiu had no way to resist.
So, why did Lin Tianyi go back?
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
But looking at the current situation…
Damn!
Lin Tianyi had suffered a crushing defeat!
With such a lineup, such overwhelming power, he couldn't take down the Holy Yao Empire.
Lin Tianyi personally led the Medicine God Mountain to attack the Xu family, but he couldn't take it down.
The Medicine God Mountain was also completely wiped out.
His own home was also stolen by Xu Fengqiu.
This defeat was a bit miserable.
Although it was a bit inexplicable.
But the fact was so.
…
"Your Majesty, why don't we destroy the Holy Yao Empire before going back?"
Xi Zhihuan asked in confusion.
He was extremely anxious.
He wanted to destroy Xi Shengyao and become the Emperor of the Holy Yao Empire.
Why did they suddenly retreat?
"If it really doesn't work, your subordinate can lead a part of the people, and he can completely take down this Holy Yao Empire. If Your Majesty is summoned by the Northern Underworld Empire, you can lead another part of the people back," Xi Zhihuan said again.
Didn't Lin Tianyi know?
But he couldn't do it.
That was Xu Fengqiu!
He had already suffered a crushing defeat.
He valued Xu Fengqiu too much.
He felt that if he didn't leave completely, it would be hard to say what Xu Fengqiu would do.
Moreover, if he withdrew a part to fight Xu Fengqiu, the part that remained, they might not really be able to take down the Holy Yao Empress.
What if Xu Fengqiu's poison was also here?
That would be a waste of losses!
"Xu Fengqiu is slaughtering the civil and military officials of the Northern Underworld Empire. They are all this Emperor's confidants. This Emperor must not let anything happen to them. Compared to them, the Holy Yao Empire is insignificant," Lin Tianyi said, finding an excuse.
"This… Your Majesty, in this way, we are instead falling into Xu Fengqiu's scheme. We only succeeded in… in… suffering a crushing defeat… and returning."
Lin Tianyi; !!!
Damn it!
He knew it!
But Lin Tianyi pretended to be forceful and said, "Don't judge heroes by temporary success or failure, the ultimate winner is the victor."
"Yes!"
