Armies Pressing at the Border

Qingfeng had arrived inside Lingyun's Imperial Palace at this moment, unaware that armies raised by the four kingdoms and three supreme-level sects were at the border.

Deep inside the Imperial Palace, the Emperor of Lingyun lied on a bed, unconscious. 

His body had already deteriorated to just skin and bones; all of his blood and muscles had withered away, as if he had died. His soul was also very vulnerable, on the verge of dissipating. 

The Second Prince kneeled beside the Emperor and called out nonstop, "Father, Father, wake up. I've returned with the monarch soul fruit."

Not matter how hard the Second Prince called out, the Lingyun Emperor's eyes remained closed, without any sign of opening. 

Tears appeared on the Second Prince's face, as he turned to say, "Qingfeng, please save Father! He is near death."
