Thick smoke continuously poured in through the window, even blackening the beams of Luohong Tower's roof. The Emperor was drenched in sweat, turning his gaze toward the partition, outside of which the fire roared.
He never expected that he, the mighty Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, would end up in such a predicament.
He originally intended to ascend the Nine-Tiered Platform to seek immortality. The State Preceptor had said... By ascending the platform and sacrificing a thousand boys and girls, he could meet the immortals and obtain the elixir of immortality, perhaps even plead for Bai Suqiu to be resurrected.
He was so close to success; the Nine-Tiered Platform was complete. He just needed a thousand boys and girls, yet Bai Qingyan dared to rebel against him!
Oh Heaven, just one step... one step away! He is the true dragon of the Jin Kingdom! Why does Heaven treat him this way? Why not grant his wish?! Why hasn't the Crown Prince come to save him!
