168: Chapter 168 The stunningly beautiful city lord, Ye Liuli! The empress, furious beyond belief!
Empress Xuanhuang Chu Lingyue, disguised as a female cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"No! Facing a terrifying existence suspected to be a supreme expert, one cannot be too cautious!"
A wise light flickered in Chu Lingyue's cold eyes: "If I were to visit as a Loose Cultivator without any reason, it would definitely arouse the other party's suspicion. I need a completely reasonable and flawless identity to cover my tracks!"
After making up her mind, Chu Lingyue did not rush to enter the Hehuan Sect. Instead, she swept her Divine Sense and flew directly toward Liuguang City, a Human Race city thousands of miles away from the Hehuan Sect.
Liuguang City was the strongest Human Race power within a ten-thousand-mile radius.
Chu Lingyue quietly infiltrated the City Lord's Mansion, her gaze instantly locking onto the current City Lord of Liuguang City, Ye Liuli.
When she saw the appearance of this City Lord Ye Liuli, even Chu Lingyue, who was used to seeing beauties, couldn't help but feel a flash of surprise in her eyes.
The woman wore gorgeous purple robes, her figure was enchanting, and her graceful temperament carried a hint of pitiful sorrow.
That stunning, country-toppling face was not at all inferior to her own Personal Disciple, Tanger!
"Pah! Why am I thinking about that ungrateful wretch Jiang Yutang!"
Chu Lingyue cursed inwardly, then unleashed her massive Mahayana Stage Divine Sense without reservation, silently reading the recent memories of this beautiful City Lord.
Upon investigating, Chu Lingyue was immediately delighted: "This is truly like someone handing me a pillow just as I was getting sleepy!"
It turned out that this beautiful City Lord was currently facing a huge crisis.
The original City Lord of Liuguang City was Ye Liuli's father, a powerful expert at the Body Integration Stage.
Unfortunately, recent rumors about the appearance of a xuantian spirit treasure had thrown the wilderness into chaos, and her father had unexpectedly fallen.
Ye Liuli had no choice but to take over as City Lord, but she only had the cultivation of the Void Refinement Stage, Level 6. She could not intimidate the surrounding forces at all, and there were even people within Liuguang City dissatisfied with her succession.
In particular, a Yao Race faction led by a powerful Yao at the Late Stage of the Void Refinement Stage, seeing that Liuguang City had lost its Body Integration Stage combat power, actually wanted to forcibly take Ye Liuli as a concubine!
If she did not comply, the people of the entire city would likely face a disaster.
During this time, Ye Liuli had sought help everywhere, but the Human Race factions were all afraid of that Yao King; even those who had been protected by Ye Liuli's father in the past dared not offer a helping hand.
"Since you have no way out, I will give you a hand."
A cold sneer curled the corner of Chu Lingyue's mouth as she placed an extremely subtle mental suggestion on this stunning City Lord.
Through this suggestion, a firm thought was implanted in Ye Liuli's subconscious: She must personally go to ask for help from the newly emerged Human Race faction, the Hehuan Sect!
Furthermore, Chu Lingyue disguised herself as Ye Liuli's personal maid. To disgust her arch-rival who was far away, she even gave herself the name Xia Xuanji!
The mental suggestion was complete.
Ye Liuli woke up faintly from her desk.
Regarding the sudden extra memory in her mind, she didn't feel strange at all, truly believing that she had had a personal maid named Xia Xuanji since she was a child.
"Xuanji."
Ye Liuli looked at the delicate "maid" disguised as a Soul Transformation Stage cultivator in front of her, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes:
"I heard that a new Human Race faction, the Hehuan Sect, has appeared in the southwest. This might be our last hope. Come with me to pay a visit personally!"
"Yes, City Lord."
Chu Lingyue, currently in the guise of a maid, lowered her head obediently, though a glimmer of success flashed in her eyes.
...
A few days later.
Outside the mountain gate of the Hehuan Sect.
Liuguang City Lord Ye Liuli, bringing "maid Xia Xuanji" with her, nervously handed over the greeting card.
Inside the Hehuan Sect's main hall.
Wang Yang, who had the System and a Gods Eye View, had long since discovered that Chu Lingyue herself was among the visitors!
Wang Yang was overjoyed, but he remained calm, a mischievous smile curling the corner of his mouth.
He didn't send anyone else; instead, he turned to look at the Incarnation of Chu Lingyue, who was gently peeling spirit fruits for him beside him.
"Lingyue, there are distinguished guests. Take Wushuang and go to the mountain gate to bring them in personally," Wang Yang ordered specifically.
"Yes, Revered Master Husband~" The Hehuan Sect's Chu Lingyue responded obediently, and with Ji Wushuang dressed in an exclusive maid outfit, she walked toward the mountain gate with elegant steps.
Outside the mountain gate.
Seeing someone coming, Ye Liuli quickly looked up.
She saw a stunning woman in strange attire (a black and white form-fitting maid outfit) that accentuated her proud figure to the fullest, yet was particularly alluring, walking out first.
Ye Liuli quietly released her Divine Sense to probe, and immediately gasped!
"Void Refinement Stage?! This woman actually has the cultivation of the Void Refinement Stage!"
Ye Liuli's heart was stirred with stormy waves, and she couldn't help but exclaim wildly in her heart: "Heavens! Even a maid dressed so strangely has the cultivation of the Void Refinement Stage! I must befriend the Hehuan Sect. As long as I hold onto this big thigh, my Liuguang City will definitely be saved!"
At this moment, the "maid Xia Xuanji," who was none other than Chu Lingyue's true self, following behind Ye Liuli with her head bowed to feign obedience, also quietly raised her eyes.
Upon looking up, she was struck by lightning!
Because she saw the person walking behind Ji Wushuang—it was her own Incarnation!
Looking at "herself" in front of her, wearing a gorgeous immortal dress, with spring flowing between her brows, and skin radiating an astonishing luster like mutton-fat jade.
That charming appearance, completely nourished by a man and glowing with health, looked as if she had written the words "I am very happy" on her face!
The pink fist of "maid Xia Xuanji" under her wide sleeves was instantly clenched tight, and she was so angry that her teeth itched, and she almost ground her back molars to pieces!
"Shameless! To actually wear this Empress's face and smile so flirtatiously! What kind of love potion did that man give you?!"
Chu Lingyue's true self roared wildly in her heart, wishing she could draw her sword on the spot.
"Welcome, both of you, please come in."
The Hehuan Sect's Chu Lingyue naturally didn't know that the Soul Transformation Stage maid in front of her was her own true self, and she gently welcomed them into the main hall.
Inside the main hall.
As soon as Ye Liuli stepped in, she saw a figure sitting on the main seat with no fluctuation of cultivation. Since she couldn't sense any cultivation, this must be a Senior at least at the Body Integration Stage.
She took a deep breath and bowed gracefully to the unfathomable young Sect Master on the main seat: "Junior, City Lord of Liuguang City, Ye Liuli, pays respects to Senior! I have come here shamelessly this time to beg the Hehuan Sect to form an alliance with my Liuguang City to resist the atrocities of the Yao Race together!"
And the "maid Xia Xuanji" following behind was secretly staring at the man on the main seat with the corner of her eye.
"This is that Wang Yang?!"
Wang Yang sat high on the throne, his gaze sweeping over the pitiful and exquisite City Lord Ye Liuli, and finally lingered for a moment on the "delicate maid" who was grinding her teeth in anger.
"An alliance to resist the Yao Race?"
Grandmaster Wang smiled calmly, his fingers tapping gently on the table, and he said in an extremely gentle yet oppressive tone: "City Lord Ye, no need for formalities, please sit. Since we are both of the Human Race, if you have any difficulties, sit down and tell this Sect Master slowly."
Ye Liuli was overjoyed and told Wang Yang everything that had happened recently, and offered the large amount of resources she had prepared as a gift.
After hearing Ye Liuli's request, Wang Yang pretended to ponder: "An alliance, it's not impossible. I can even help you eliminate that Yao King. But you don't need to give gifts. I find this maid of yours quite pleasing to the eye. Why don't you let her stay and serve tea and water for my Hehuan Sect, how about that?"
