787: I want to kill you, who dares to stop me?

“...”

Venerable Divine Sword's expression changed abruptly; the pressure from these three Emperor Weapons made his scalp tingle.

He glanced at the great luo heavenly sword behind him, only to see its aura receding.

Emperor Weapons possessed spirits. In a one-on-one fight, the great luo heavenly sword would have nothing to fear, but in a three-on-one situation, it stood no chance at all.

Especially since the eastern wasteland tower was among them. It was the first supreme emperor artifact of the Eastern Wasteland, carrying immense significance and being an invincible supreme treasure.

“I shall remember this!”

Venerable Divine Sword took a deep breath. With a light wave of his hand, he and the great luo heavenly sword vanished from the spot.

He had backed down. At a moment like this, he had no choice but to yield.

In the Eastern Wasteland, there were few people who could make him back down, but one had appeared right before him!

Lin Qinghuang paid no mind to the departing Venerable Divine Sword. She looked at the Sword King on the plaza and said in a bone-chilling tone, “I want to kill you, who can stop me? Now, you may die.”

Boom!

The void cauldron shook as its Emperor Might erupted. A gray beam of annihilation blasted forth. For a moment, heaven and earth cracked, the nine heavens were extinguished, and the void was blown apart as the beam crushed everything below.

“No...”

Terror filled the Sword King's eyes. He wanted to flee for his life, but he was locked down by the Emperor Might and couldn't move at all.

Rumble!

The massive mountain was instantly ground into dust, and a giant pit spanning ten thousand feet appeared in the ground.

The Secret Realm of the Danhe Realm seemed to have been pierced straight through. Billowing smoke rose into the sky; the Sword King had been blasted into nothingness, not even a speck of dust remained.

How could someone in the Creation Realm withstand the might of a supreme emperor artifact?

A long while passed.

The smoke cleared, but the Emperor Might lingered for a long time. It would likely take decades for this pressure to dissipate.

From now on, this area would probably become a forbidden zone in the Danhe Realm. Ordinary Disciples would find it hard to set foot here; otherwise, they would surely be crushed to dust by the residual Emperor Might.

“Terrifying...”

Marquis of Eight Desolations gave Lin Qinghuang a deep, meaningful look.

From what had just happened, this woman's control over supreme emperor artifacts had absolutely reached an extremely high level.

Even for someone like him, using a supreme emperor artifact required paying a heavy price.

Yet this woman used three supreme emperor artifacts simultaneously with such ease, appearing as if she hadn't expended any energy at all. This was incredibly eerie.

“The pressure of a supreme emperor artifact is indeed terrifying. A Creation Realm powerhouse was actually blasted into nothingness.”

The onlookers in the distance were drenched in sweat, their eyes filled with fear.

It was fortunate they had retreated quickly; otherwise, they would have likely been crushed to bits by that Emperor Might as well.

“The Lin Family is truly bold to entrust three supreme emperor artifacts to a single woman! Now that the eastern wasteland tower has surfaced, I'm afraid many old geezers won't be able to sit still.”

Someone remarked in a low, somber voice.

The star furnace and void cauldron were Emperor Weapons of the Lin Family, tied to the Lin Family Bloodline, making it difficult for outsiders to steal them.

But the eastern wasteland tower was a possession of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Wasteland and had no direct connection to the Lin Family.

“Heh! You sure are imaginative. She can control three Emperor Weapons and make them manifest their power. Even those Old Ancestors would likely have to yield to her by three points. Who would dare snatch her things?”

A person nearby sneered.

If an Emperor Weapon hadn't been awakened and was masterless, one could certainly fight for it.

But who would dare covet an Emperor Weapon that was already under someone's control and could unleash its power at any moment?

Unless they had a death wish!

Lin Qinghuang ignored the crowd. She took a step forward and instantly appeared before Xie Weilou, asking softly, “Are you hurt?”

Xie Weilou put away the eight desolations halberd and said with a smile, “Even if you hadn't intervened, I could have slaughtered that Sword King.”

A smile appeared on Lin Qinghuang's face. “I know you're capable. Let's find a place to talk.”

“Alright!”

Xie Weilou smiled faintly.

The two of them moved and vanished from the spot... “The Young Clan Leader of the Lin Family knows Xie Weilou? No wonder she stepped in to kill the Sword King.”

The crowd watched their departing figures in shock, unable to help but wonder about the relationship between the two.

“This guy actually knows the mysterious Young Clan Leader of the Lin Family...”

The Longevity Saintess was somewhat surprised. Xie Weilou's background was a mystery.

The fact that he also knew the unfathomable Young Clan Leader of the Lin Family was very peculiar.

At this moment, she was very curious about what kind of background Xie Weilou actually had.

In her view, this guy was definitely not some Loose Cultivator; he likely had a significant origin.

Marquis of Eight Desolations looked at Yao Youxuan. “Let's change locations to discuss the matter of the Grave of Primordial Beginning.”

“Mhm.”

Yao Youxuan smiled faintly. The key focus of today was still the Grave of Primordial Beginning.

——————

Gan Peak.

Inside a pavilion.

Lin Qinghuang extended her beautiful leg toward Xie Weilou. “You came to the Eastern Wasteland as promised. Now, I'll let you touch it.”

“...”

Xie Weilou reached out and pulled Lin Qinghuang's soft waist close. Their bodies pressed together, allowing them to feel each other's heartbeat and warmth.

He gently stroked Lin Qinghuang's hair and asked softly, “Qinghuang, how have you been since returning to the Eastern Wasteland?”

Lin Qinghuang was stunned for a second, then said softly, “Quite well! And you?”

After returning to the clan, the Family had given her many good things to improve her cultivation. Her cultivation had now reached the Peak Dongxuan Realm.

Yes, she currently only had a cultivation at the Peak Dongxuan Realm.

Because she also cultivated the Eastern Wasteland Scripture, she took every step very steadily and did not try to rush her growth.

But even so, this speed of Breakthrough was still terrifying. She planned to suppress it a bit longer and aim for the Peak Dongxuan Realm's absolute limit.

Her situation was similar to Xie Weilou's. Both had previously stayed in the Great Xia Dynasty, where resources were relatively scarce, so their cultivation naturally lagged behind the Saints and Saintesses of the Eastern Wasteland.

However, it didn't matter. They could catch up later. With their talent, they would naturally not be weaker than anyone else.

Xie Weilou said, “I've been quite well too.”

A moment later.

Xie Weilou released her, took out a jar of wine and two cups, and said with a smile, “Let's have a few drinks.”

“Mhm.”

Lin Qinghuang nodded slightly.

Afterward, the two of them toasted back and forth, drinking several cups and discussing many things... Half an hour passed.

Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou. “I came to the Danhe Realm this time for the Grave of Primordial Beginning. After the matters here are resolved, how about coming with me to the Lin Family?”

Xie Weilou smiled and said, “I will certainly visit the Lin Family, but I plan to stay in the Danhe Realm for a while for now.”

The Eastern Wasteland was vast, with countless places worth seeing. As for the Lin Family, he would naturally go when the time came, but not right now.

Being able to see Lin Qinghuang now and knowing she was safe was enough.

Lin Qinghuang said, “You needn't worry. If you come with me to the Lin Family, no one will dare stop you, and no one will dare say anything.”

Things like Family political marriages or the melodramatic plots found in storybooks did not exist with her.

She was the number one person in the Lin Family below the Ancient Ancestor. Looking across the entire Lin Family, who would dare to say much?

Xie Weilou shook his head. “It has nothing to do with that. I need to investigate some matters for the time being.”

“Matters regarding the Zhenxi Marquis Manor?”

Lin Qinghuang asked.

Xie Weilou said, “This matter involves the Heaven Hall. I recently found out that it's related to a person called Elder Gu.”

Since someone from the Heaven Hall appeared today, he naturally wouldn't miss the chance and needed to investigate thoroughly.

Lin Qinghuang said, “Heaven Hall? Elder Gu? Then I'll use the Lin Family's intelligence network to look into it for you when the time comes.”

If it involved the Heaven Hall, then it wasn't simple. A detailed investigation should yield significant discoveries.

“That would be good.”

Xie Weilou poured a cup of wine for Lin Qinghuang.
