155: Chapter 155 Conspiring to Eliminate Bai Huangji
"However, before I leave, I can harvest a wave; it would be a shame to waste all the time we've spent as neighbors. I've endured this relative peace long enough."
"Even when faced with their ulterior motives and the petty schemes they've been running behind my back, I have just let it be, without delivering a thunderous blow."
"Today, they shall pay for their past provocations with their very lives!"
With those words finished, she walked over with light, lotus-like steps, graceful, swaying, and alluring.
However, these words sounded exceptionally grating to Gu Qingge.
Did this woman intend to pull off something major before leaving?
Based on his sensing of their aura, he knew clearly that the area surrounding the White Empress's residence was the territory of those few Vicious Beasts.
Each one possessed a cultivation Realm no lower than the Soul Transformation Stage.
They appeared to be in no way weaker than her, and none of them were characters to be trifled with.
If his guess was correct, did she intend to use her own Soul Transformation power to hunt them all down while surrounded by a pack of wolves?
Wasn't this a bit too whimsical?
Conversely, the White Empress's lips twitched, inadvertently revealing a faint smile.
At this moment, the way she looked at Gu Qingge was exceptionally unusual.
It was as if... it was filled with ill intent!
"What are you planning?" After being stared at with that gaze for so long, Gu Qingge immediately felt uncomfortable and slightly uneasy.
It felt as if he had already become the White Empress's prey, and whether she chose to devour him or not depended entirely on her whim—it was merely a matter of time.
Hearing this, the White Empress cast a light glance elsewhere.
"It's nothing; I just thought of something special." The White Empress played with her jade fingers, speaking with a soft laugh.
"It's not easy to do right now, but in the future, that might not be the case."
Near the White Empress's territory was an area of dark, swampy waters.
This place belonged to a Vicious Beast named the Demon Flood Dragon King, who was at the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Stage.
His Bloodline talent ranked among the higher tiers within the Yao Beast races.
Now, he had gathered several vicious Yao Beasts from the surrounding area to discuss how to eliminate the trouble that was the White Empress.
Present, in addition to the host, the Demon Flood Dragon King who had initiated the call, were several other Lord-level Vicious Beasts from neighboring territories.
The Emperor Blood Demon Ape, the Ten Directions Nether Horse, the Earth Ghost King, and the Phantom Leopard.
None of them possessed a cultivation Realm lower than the Soul Transformation Stage.
Furthermore, they were generally extremely powerful.
Even setting aside the major Realm, in terms of comparisons within minor Realms, they definitely belonged to the strongest ranks.
They were even capable of fighting across levels.
"You all know that that snake has never been a peaceful creature."
The first to speak was a man in green robes with a hooked nose and a pair of infinitely sharp eyes.
At this moment, those sinister eyes were filled with vigilance.
This person was none other than the host of this scheme, the Demon Flood Dragon King.
They were so secretive because the matter they were plotting was of great consequence.
If the White Empress were to find out, they feared she might escape.
If she were to escape completely, choose a location to lie in wait, Cultivate for many years, and then return to exact her revenge.
That would undoubtedly be an unavoidable disaster for them!
Therefore, when cutting weeds, one must remove the roots.
Otherwise, they will grow again with the spring breeze, and there will be no good fruit for them to eat.
At this moment, a sturdy man with explosive muscles exposed all over his body asked, "Should we strike first?"
This person was one of the Lord-level characters among them, the Emperor Blood Demon Ape.
He had a trace of the Bloodline of the Emperor Beast, the Scarlet Demon Ape, flowing within him.
In terms of Cultivation speed, he was also among the top, especially since he had not yet transformed into his complete form and was merely in the growth stage.
"I don't know if striking first is the right move, but striking later will definitely lead to disaster," the Earth Ghost King on the side chimed in.
Over these years, they had often had friction with the White Empress due to disputes over interests and territory.
In one-on-one situations, none of them had ever come out on top.
Even though the Earth Ghost King used his soul to enter the Dao of Ghost Cultivation, when encountering the White Empress, he would be completely restrained by the mental attacks she could unleash.
It could be said that the White Empress's existence was, for these Vicious Beasts, akin to someone snoring right beside their bed—how could they allow that?
Furthermore, if the White Empress were just an ordinary Yao Beast, it would be one thing.
But her true form was clearly extraordinary, which raised their vigilance to the highest level.
After all, whether it be humans or Yao Beasts, in the cultivation world, no one ever believed in morality.
If they allowed her to just continue on and grow, it was hard to guarantee that one day they wouldn't be completely suppressed by her.
By that time, it would no longer be a matter of equal footing.
There would only be two choices left for them.
Either submit, or die!
They were accustomed to being the Dominator of their own regions; being manipulated so casually would not sit well with any Yao Beast.
"Good, it's decided. Tomorrow at midnight, we will move out, jointly kill that snake, and then divide the treasure she has accumulated over the years."
The others unanimously agreed to this plotted assassination plan.
Unfortunately for them, although their plan was thorough, it could not compare to the fact that the White Empress on the other side happened to have the exact same intention.
Moreover, she was even faster than their agreed-upon midnight time.
Because, at this moment, she had already brought Gu Qingge to the dark swampy magical pool.
"What should we do?"
"Should we sneak in secretly first, and then catch them off guard?" Gu Qingge proposed the most prudent approach.
With his current strength, wanting to kill a Soul Transformation Stage Yao Beast without using a Saint Weapon and relying solely on his Heavenly Demon Emperor Body to fight it out was almost impossible.
The safest method was a sneak attack.
The White Empress glanced at him but did not respond.
A short while later, a majestic voice was heard from outside, spreading far and wide.
"Under the whole sky, there is no land that is not the King's. Within the shores of the earth, there is no one who is not the King's subject."
"Do you all know your crimes?"
The White Empress looked down with cold brows, her proud figure standing in mid-air.
Her voluptuous body was gradually taking on the bearing of a mature woman, causing turmoil in all directions and drawing out the forces to attack.
Her eyes radiated an endless indifference toward life.
Originally, she had intended to defeat them one by one.
However, it was a coincidence that this group of guys had gathered together, which just happened to save her the trouble of running around repeatedly.
In her view, these powerful Soul Transformation Stage beings who possessed the Bloodline of ancient Vicious Beasts and were enough to lord over one side in the edge areas of the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons were nothing more than a group of ants who overestimated their own abilities.
"Attack together! We must keep her here this time!" the Demon Flood Dragon King shouted immediately after sensing that something was wrong.
Immediately afterward, as if in response to his shout, the other ancient Vicious Beasts also attacked one after another.
"Demon Flood Dragon Breath!"
"Blood Moon Mad Ape Fist!"
"Great Sun Breaking Cry Art!"
"Dead Spirit Ghost Demon Descent!"
"Leopard Splitting Cloud Wind Slash!"
At the moment the battle was about to erupt, several Soul Transformation Stage ancient Vicious Beasts unleashed their strongest killing moves, utilizing their absolute Peak state!
At this moment, it was a fight to the death, leading straight to the abyss of mortality.
To survive, the only option was to completely slay the White Empress before them!
