Warm as water breaks through the great defenses.

Dragon Emperor, Mo Ru, and Shi Jingfeng watched Chu Xinghe's departing back.

"This kid cannot be an enemy," the Dragon Emperor suddenly remarked with a sigh.

"Indeed, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the initiative to pull the Mo Family onto his pirate ship," Mo Ru said, stroking his beard.

The Dragon Emperor felt contempt in his heart; he said that, but could he first suppress the grin at the corner of his mouth?

"Since we've cooperated and the kid has already arranged things, we need to pass the word down," the Dragon Emperor knew he couldn't remain idle.

At this moment, Shi Jingfeng spoke.

"Don't step forward personally. Control some people to spread the news, and once it's out, kill them. Don't leave any evidence."

The Dragon Emperor and Mo Ru looked at each other and then at Shi Jingfeng.

As expected, none of those who followed Chu Xinghe were good people.

...

Qingzhou, a hidden place.

From the outside, it looked like ordinary trees.

In reality, these were all illusions.

Even a Supreme Expert would get lost in there.

Within the Restriction.

In an ancient palace.

Wen Rushui spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her rosy face turned pale.

Her hands formed Seals in front of her.

Densely packed divine medicines were placed around her.

They turned into the purest power, mending the injuries within her body.

Half an hour later.

Pfft.

A mouthful of black blood was spat out.

The entire ancient palace shook.

A hint of rosiness returned to her pale face.

She slowly opened her eyes.

Her previously calm and rippleless eyes, like water, were now tinged with a layer of hostility.

Zhongli Qingmeng, I, Wen Rushui, will certainly not let you off.

And Shi Jingfeng, if I had known it would come to this, I shouldn't have let you leave Tianyan Holy Land back then.

She never expected that there would be a day when even she would misjudge someone.

An insignificant ant had actually played her for a fool.

After planning for all these days, it all came to nothing in the end.

Ultimately, she had underestimated the people of this Grand Void Heaven Realm too much.

No wonder she found those special people.

Almost all were killed using the same method.

She had always thought that Chu Xinghe only had those few tricks.

Who could have guessed it was Shi Jingfeng's doing?

If she had been a bit more careful, she would have discovered it long ago.

All those days of planning were in vain.

It was like drawing water with a wicker basket—all for nothing.

The forces she had built up were mostly destroyed.

She hadn't gained a single benefit.

Running away like a stray dog.

Another thing she truly hadn't expected was...

that Zhongli Qingmeng actually admitted it directly.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Making her threat a joke.

She had always felt that emotions were the most useless things.

With this threat, Chu Xinghe would surely choose to follow her.

Is love really that important?

More important than a Family crisis?

Wen Rushui didn't quite understand.

Shouldn't people be self-interested?

And then there's Shi Jingfeng.

Even if Chu Xinghe helped you once...

what right does he have for you to treat him like this?

She, Wen Rushui, was actually inferior to a dead man.

The healing was over, but there were still scars within her body.

She needed more time.

That day, Zhongli Qingmeng absorbed the Origin of eighty-one Supreme corpses, along with Devilish Qi.

It had already corroded her Meridians and Origin.

It was very troublesome to purge.

She even had a feeling...

that Zhongli Qingmeng did this on purpose, trading injury for injury.

To prevent her from having any more energy to interfere in the affairs of the Grand Void Heaven Realm.

Forcing her to go into hiding.

How can someone be so gutsy?

Wen Rushui took out a voice transmission jade.

A voice came from within.

"Holy Lord, after you left that day, Nine-Colored Divine Thunder descended from the heavens. Whether Zhongli Qingmeng is alive or dead is unknown."

"The Heavenly Dao Sect united with many forces to attack the Zhongli Family, but the Zhongli Family is already gone."

Wen Rushui fell into deep thought.

No wonder the experts of the Zhongli Family didn't appear that day.

She suddenly realized that after revealing Zhongli Qingmeng was a Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body...

during the time Zhongli Qingmeng was leading people to slaughter various forces...

the Zhongli Family had probably already retreated unnoticed.

What a brilliant plan.

Was this all Zhongli Qingmeng's idea?

In her knowledge, the Zhongli Family wouldn't easily bow their heads.

Even in death, they would protect the glory of the Zhongli Family.

That they could go into hiding was something even she hadn't expected.

"How is the investigation into that Shi Jingfeng going?"

The person Wen Rushui wanted to kill most now was Shi Jingfeng.

He wasted her time and energy.

"It has been investigated. Shi Jingfeng is Mo Ru's disciple."

Hearing the subordinate's report, Wen Rushui's eyes narrowed.

A bit troublesome. This kid is truly clever, even managing to find an escape route.

More importantly, he helped the Dragon Clan find the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline.

Keeping a low profile while possessing such a mind.

However, that fellow seems to have gone mad in his quest for revenge for Chu Xinghe.

"Find time to keep an eye on him. I want to know his every move."

The subordinate was a bit hesitant.

"Holy Lord, it's a bit difficult to send people into the Mo Family or the Dragon Clan, especially at such a sensitive time."

"If you can't even handle such a small matter, there's no need for you to live."

"Rest assured, Holy Lord, I will certainly complete the task."

"Is there any other news?" Wen Rushui couldn't go out yet; she needed to heal.

She could only have her subordinates investigate for news.

"Holy Lord, there is another piece of news unfavorable to you," the subordinate said hesitantly.

This made Wen Rushui frown.

What other news could be unfavorable to her?

The label of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body had already been cast off.

"There are now rumors in the Grand Void Heaven Realm saying that you are the Incarnation of the spirit of the heavenly dao. They say no Great Emperor appeared in the heavenly ancient era or the Ancient Era because you sealed the emperor road."

The jade in Wen Rushui's hand slipped.

She hurriedly caught it.

Her eyes were filled with shock.

This label was even bigger than the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Body.

One link after another. Good, very good.

Wen Rushui's mind constantly filtered through people.

Finally, it stopped on a woman's face.

Li Wanchu, it seems you've truly made your move.

"Go into hiding. Stop investigating the Mo Family as well, and wait for my word."

The subordinate hurriedly agreed.

She put away the voice transmission jade.

Wen Rushui sat down in the palace.

She rubbed her brow.

Before her injuries were fully healed, she definitely couldn't go out.

No wonder Zhongli Qingmeng fought so desperately to injure her.

It was to prepare for spreading this news, wasn't it?

Li Wanchu, you've really outdone yourself.

Do you think you can deal with me, Wen Rushui, like this?

You have trump cards, but do you think I don't?

Thinking of this, Wen Rushui took out a bronze token.

A drop of blood emerged from her finger and dripped onto the token.

A layer of mist appeared on the token.

Several figures could be vaguely seen inside.

"I cannot appear right now. It's time for you all to make a move."

"I have three tasks here."

"First, I want to know who spread the news about the heavenly dao spirit manifestation and the emperor road."

Second is the movements of the Zhongli Family.

Third is regarding Shi Jingfeng's whereabouts."

The figures in the mist nodded.

The runes on the bronze token went silent.

After putting the bronze token away,

Wen Rushui thought about her next plan.

heavenly dao spirit manifestation, sealing the emperor road.

Each of these could attract the gaze of the entire Grand Void Heaven Realm.

Some wouldn't believe it.

But there would always be those who would.

She had to figure out exactly who was involved behind all this.

It's a mess, a complete mess.

Shi Jingfeng, you really deserve to die.
