Chapter 1158 Departure From The Imperial Capital City
"Your life is in our hands, yet you''re still reluctant to talk,"
the queen snorted. Then, she released her spiritual sense all of a sudden and heavily hit the demon
lord''s Soul Sea.
At once, he felt a sharp pain and started to scream.
Apparently, the queen''s spiritual sense was so powerful that the demon lord could not even take one
blow from it.
"Either you talk to me and voluntarily answer the questions or I will pull your soul out, cast a spell, and
search for the answers we want in your Soul Sea myself.
It''s your choice!"
Even though she maintained a calm demeanor, her threatening words sent chills to the demon lord''s
heart. Suddenly, he felt cold -- as if he had sunk into the seafloor of an ocean that was thousands of
meters deep.
In that moment, the demon lord finally realized how strong they actually were. He knew then that there
was no way for him to deal with them without him ending up dead in the end.
If he chose to keep silent, he was sure to be tortured ruthlessly.
Thus, in order to avoid the cruel torture, he decided to answer Austin''s questions honestly instead.
From the demon lord, Austin found out that the emperor, princes, dukes, and ministers had all been
imprisoned.
More than that, he learned that the demon race actually invaded the Prime Martial World for two
reasons. Firstly, they wanted to plunder more resources to cultivate their fighting skills. Secondly, they
wanted more ves for themselves.
Therefore, the demon race had no intention of wiping out the human race after all.
They only needed to kill whoever fought against them while enving those who did not resist.
Meanwhile, at that time, the battle in the imperial capital city was over. All of the creatures from the
demon race, had already been ughtered by the soldiers from the evil shadow race.
The reason why the battle ended in such a short time was because the Violet Orchid Empire was
actually small and weak.
For that reason, the leaders of the demon race did not consider it to be of great importance. Thus, only
two demon lords and a dozen demon generals were tasked to lead the demon soldiers to conquer the
empire.
After Austin had forced the demon lord to answer all of his questions, he then used the Body Invading
Skill to absorb all of the demon lord''s demonic energy.

In spite of the demon lord''s cooperation, Austin did not show any mercy. After all, he had sworn to kill
them all.
Once he was finished absorbing the demon lord''s demonic energy, he headed for the imperial pce.
In the past, whenever Austin stayed in the imperial capital city, the emperor was always kind to him.
More than that, Austin also heard that whenever he was away, the emperor would send people to take
good care of Austin''s men in the Austin Pce.
Because of this, Austin decided to show his gratitude.
A few momentster, Austin found the ce where the emperor was imprisoned and immediately set
him free.
The emperor, his family, dukes, ministers, as well as their servants had all been locked up in the same
building.
When Austin found them, all of them were in ragged clothing, looking tired and haggard.
Before they were imprisoned, they were in high, well-respected positions, enjoying wealth and power.
However, when the demon race conquered the imperial pce, they were tortured and frightened
endlessly.
"Austin!
It''s you.
You havee back for us,"
the emperor eximed with a mixture of excitement and surprise the moment he recognized Austin.
"Yes, it''s Austin. He hase here to save us!"
The other members of the royal family also eximed.
In the past, Austin was a renowned figure in the imperial capital city of the Violet Orchid Empire.
After he killed the leader of the Ghost Sect, songs and poems were written for him, and his legends
became known to every single person in the Violet Orchid Empire.
Therefore, all of the people from the royal family knew Austin quite well.
"Calm down, your highness. Don''t worry. I''m here to help you out,"
Austin said while smiling slightly. Given his current power, he no longer felt very humble face to face
with the emperor.
"Your highness, please allow me to return all the wealth that was taken from you by the demon race to
its true owners," said Austin.
After saying those words, Austin took out two Space Rings and gave them to the emperor.
Austin frisked the demon lords and found those two Space Rings. After interrogating them, Austin
gathered that the great wealth which the demon race stole from the imperial pce was actually stored
inside those Space Rings.
The emperor took the two Space Rings at once and released his spiritual sense to see what was
inside. After seeing what was inside it, he was both delighted and surprised.
The great fortune and wealth inside the two Space Rings contained everything that the royal family had
saved up bit by bit over many years. In a way, they were the foundation of the royal family.
"Austin, thank you for saving us.
Some of the wealth should be yours," said the emperor.
Then, he took some treasures from one of the Space Rings and ced them before Austin.
"Ha-ha, your highness. No offense but, to be honest, I don''t need your wealth. Besides, I want nothing
from the royal family. So, put them away now,"
Austin replied with a lighthearted smile.
The emperor was quite taken aback by Austin''s reply.
The tone of Austin''s voice implied that he did not regard the great wealth in the Space Rings as
something worthy of serious consideration.
A few heartbeatster, the emperor finally came to his sense and returned the treasures into the Space
Ring.
"Austin, I know you''re a different man now.
You must have reached a position which I can''t evenprehend,"
the emperor said with a sigh.
Ever since the demon race invaded the Violet Orchid Empire, the emperor had been impressed and
awed by how formidable the demonic force was.
However, since Austin was able to get them out of the demon race''s prisons, then Austin must be much
stronger than the demon race.
"Your highness, what will you do next?"
Austin asked.
"To be honest, I don''t know. The demon race has already conquered the Violet Orchid Empire and its
surrounding empires.
If we stay here, we will only be imprisoned by the demon race once again.
However, we truly have nowhere to go."
The emperor sighed with great sadness.
Under such dangerous circumstances, he had no idea where to go or hide.
"Ah, so that''s the case. I am going to set off for the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom. If you want, I can
take you with me.
When we get there, you can seek shelter.
Once the demon race is wiped out, you cane back and restore your empire. What do you think?"
Austin proposed to the emperor after thinking for a moment.
The emperor had always been kind to Austin and his people in the Austin Pce. So Austin decided to
help him and take him to a safe ce.
"Okay. I like that idea.
Thank you so much, Austin,"
the emperor answered with a delighted tone.
"Prepare yourselves. We will depart soon,"
Austin said to them.
Meanwhile, Austin desperately wanted to find his two fiancees and friends.
Before he had seeded in doing that, Austin decided that he would not waste his time and energy in
doing anything else.
Austin led the emperor and the royal family, and would leave the imperial pce soon.
After a while, Austin noticed that Warren, the emperor''s father, was nowhere to be found among the
princes, dukes, and ministers. When he asked, he was told that Warren had actually died in a battle
against the demon race.
An hourter, the emperor had already summoned his people, and they all gathered before Austin.
Besides the royal family, Austin also needed to take the guards, servants, and servant girls from the
Austin Pce.
Austin exined his ns to them briefly, and then transferred all of them to his City model.
Upon seeing this, the queen immediately got curious about Austin''s particr skill of transferring
people into and out of his City model.
"Austin, be honest. How many people can actually live in your magic treasure?
By my estimate, I am guessing that more than 50, 000 people are living there now, am I right?"
the queen probed.
"It can amodate about another 50, 000 people or so,"
Austin replied with a thin smile.
Then, he took the Dragon and Phoenix Chariot, and he and the queen entered it at once.
Once they were inside, Austin cast a spell and transformed the chariot into a sh of lightning. In the
blink of an eye, itpletely disappeared from the imperial capital city.
