155: The Empress is furious, and her sister volunteers for battle. (Happy New Year everyone!)
On the dragon head warship.
Sixth Ancestor Jiang Wuhui watched, dumbfounded. After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence:
"Damn... This girl is ruthless. This move is even more vicious than when I went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to steal the Glazed Relic back in the day. Won't she be hunted to death by those women?"
Second Ancestor Jiang Wuya's perpetually cold and stern face rarely showed a hint of approval: "Attacking the heart is paramount, killing the person is to punish the heart. This girl is not bad."
Then he glanced at the Sixth Ancestor.
"Wasn't the reason you were hunted down because you also snatched a female Bodhisattva who was in the middle of descending to the Cangwu? You messed up her descent, and she ended up possessing a lotus root, unable to move her body for thousands of years."
Sixth Ancestor: "It sounds like I didn't take care of her, but didn't I raise her for several hundred years?"
"Did you raise her? Didn't you just throw her to your sister-in-law and the others, telling them to help water her whenever they had nothing else to do?"
"They are jellyfish, it would be a waste not to use their excess water."
Second Ancestor couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.
He estimated that with the current weakness of the Nine Heavens Cold Moon Grand Array.
If they launched a frontal assault, it would be broken completely within a month, no, twenty days.
Jiang Yuan looked at the scene below, where Dao Hearts were collapsing and everything was in chaos, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
He waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted Su Luli up and sent her back to Liu Shenyin's side.
"Well done."
He turned to look at the eager Second Ancestor and Sixth Ancestor and shook his head. "No rush."
Jiang Yuan's gaze seemed to pierce through the crumbling array, landing on the cold emperors throne in the Cangwu Divine Palace.
"If we attack forcefully now, the Empress will definitely intervene personally, using her Emperors Might to forcibly stabilize the Cangwu Dao Heart. At that point, the Luck will re-coalesce instead."
The smile at the corner of his mouth became playful.
"The play has only reached the second act, why the rush?"
"There is still a third act."
...
...
The main hall of the Cangwu Divine Palace was deathly silent.
The huge Water Mirror faithfully reflected the image of the woman kneeling and kowtowing in the Void Realm.
It also reflected the miserable state of their own Cangwu's Luck collapsing and the array wailing below.
Every frame was like an invisible slap, fiercely striking the faces of all the female cultivators in the hall, stinging with pain.
Even Han Yueyi on the emperors throne had an extremely ugly expression.
Magnificent ice flowers radiated from her.
The terrifying Emperors Might oppressed the entire hall, so much so that even a female Saint found it difficult to lift her head under this pressure.
The ministers in the hall all knew that this was a sign that the Empress was furious to the extreme.
Disgrace!
An unprecedented, utter disgrace!
Han Yueyi had ruled over Cangwu for a thousand years, pacifying troubled times, setting the Cangwu, and suppressing the ages; when had she ever suffered such humiliation?
First, her war general was miserably defeated, then her Prodigy was crushed.
Now, she was being toyed with in a way that shook the Foundation of her entire Cangwu!
That man.
That man named Jiang Yuan!
He hadn't even made a move himself.
He only moved his fingers, and her Cangwu, her people, were plunged into unprecedented chaos and self-doubt!
This was no longer war; this was mockery!
It was the most vicious contempt for her and for the entire Cangwu World!
Han Yueyi's chest heaved violently.
In those ice-blue Phoenix eyes burned a rage capable of incinerating the Nine Heavens.
Just then, a soft yet firm voice.
Under the pressure of the Emperors Might, it rang out with difficulty.
"Sister, please calm your anger."
Han Yueying slowly stood up from among the ministers.
A layer of faint moon radiance surrounded her body, barely resisting the suffocating Emperors Might.
She looked at Han Yueyi, whose emperor body was slightly suffering from backlash due to her anger, and a strange color flickered in her beautiful eyes, with a hint of excitement hidden within.
But it quickly returned to normal.
"Sister, the males from the outside are extremely cunning. Their move is intended to disturb our Dao Hearts and break our Cangwu's array."
Han Yueying's voice was like a clear spring. "We must not let them have their way."
"Things have come to this; only by using thunderous momentum to behead their leader can we restore our Cangwu's prestige and stabilize the Dao Hearts of the masses."
She bowed deeply to Han Yueyi.
"Yueying requests to battle!"
"I am willing to behead the leader of those males for you and for Cangwu!"
Han Yueying's voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the silent hall.
Once these words were spoken, all the female cultivators who had been struggling to breathe under the Emperors Might suddenly raised their heads, a glimmer of hope rekindling in their eyes.
That's right!
They still had Her Highness Yueying!
With the cultivation of the Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven and possessing the Crimson Desire Heavenly Bewitching Body, she was the number one person under the Empress of the Cangwu Great World.
She was also Her Majesty the Empress's right-hand woman, the Empress's sworn younger sister, and the most likely existence to become the second Great Emperor of Cangwu.
If she took action, she would definitely wash away the shame!
Han Yueyi looked at that face.
It was as if she saw the image of her own missing younger sister.
The rage in her heart was finally suppressed a little.
She knew Yueying was right.
Now was not the time to be angry; they had to use a hearty victory.
To counter the other party's provocation and stabilize the situation that was about to collapse.
She slowly sat back on the emperors throne and beckoned with her hand.
A simple long sword, forged entirely from star divine iron with moon radiance flowing on the blade, emerged from the Void Realm and landed in her hand.
The moon god sword, a genuine quasi-ultimate dao emperor weapon!
"Take this sword."
Han Yueyi handed the emperor weapon to Han Yueying.
"Remember, do not tangle with him. Use that move you and I, sisters, deduced together. Kill him in one blow; do not give him any chance!"
That move was a forbidden killing technique they had spent hundreds of years of effort to deduce.
They believed that within the Quasi-Emperor realm, no one could rival it!
"Yueying understands."
Han Yueying took the moon god sword, feeling the majestic Emperors Might coming from the blade, and her confidence increased greatly.
Holding the emperor weapon, she turned to face the ministers in the hall, her voice cold and majestic.
"Pass on my military order: all soldiers, stabilize your minds and wait for my victory report."
After speaking, her figure flickered, turning into a streak of light, rushing out of the Divine Palace, piercing through the crumbling Nine Heavens Cold Moon Grand Array, and appearing on the Void Realm battlefield!
...
"Oh? Finally couldn't sit still and sent someone decent out."
On the dragon head warship, Jiang Yuan looked at the woman holding the quasi-ultimate dao emperor weapon, surrounded by the powerful aura of the Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven, and a playful arc hooked at the corner of his mouth.
The Second Ancestor's eyes also became a bit grave:
"Quasi-Emperor Seventh Heaven, and she's carrying a quasi-ultimate dao emperor weapon. She has some strength."
"This is the existence in the Cangwu Great World second only to the Empress. I remember her name is... Han Yueying, I think." Sixth Ancestor explained to Jiang Yuan from the side.
Jiang Yuan nodded, and a System prompt appeared in his mind.
[Name: Lin Yue (Han Yueying)]
[Rating: 93]
[Identity: Cangwu Divine Palace Quasi-Emperor, Empress Han Yueyi's sworn younger sister]
[Physique: Crimson Desire Heavenly Bewitching Body (Divine Body)]
[Data: 174cm, 105 / 60 / 102]
[D+]
[0]
[Weaknesses: 1. Her real name is "Lin Yue". Because her appearance resembles Han Yueyi's missing biological younger sister, she was groomed and has existed as a substitute for a long time, harboring resentment and unwillingness regarding this identity.
2. She has an extraordinary obsession with ascending to the position of Empress. She is well aware that her own Divine Body Origin is deficient due to helping Han Yueyi perfect her own Physique, making it impossible to break through to become a Great Emperor without a great Opportunity. Furthermore, because Han Yueyi is always looking for similar flowers, it is impossible for her to fully assist her in Attaining the Dao as a Great Emperor, and she harbors hidden hatred in her heart toward her. 3. Other weaknesses can be viewed after successful conquest...]
Seeing the information in the weaknesses section, Jiang Yuan propped up his hand, deep in thought.
A method that might allow him to take over the entire Great World without bloodshed came to mind.
So he looked at the Second Ancestor and Sixth Ancestor, who were discussing who should be sent to defeat Han Yueying, and said indifferently.
"Two grandfathers, your grandson has a better idea for the third round, which might allow us to take the Cangwu Great World without a fight."
