see a visitor out

Instead, it made her somewhat unsure how to begin speaking.

Her jade-like fists beneath her long sleeves tightened slightly.

Words formed in her mouth, but she couldn't speak them.

For a moment, her gaze at Zhong Qing seemed a little embarrassed.

After much thought,

she finally looked up and said, "I came this time to seek your cooperation."

"My Hongmeng Sacred Body is damaged, and according to the guidance, you possess the Opportunity to restore my Sacred Body."

"As long as you are willing to research the method of restoring the Sacred Body with me, when I return to my Peak in the future, I will definitely give you great benefits."

"What I promise you is absolutely true; it's not impossible to help you reach the position of Supreme in the future!"

Hearing this, Zhong Qing suddenly understood.

So that's what it meant.

So this stubborn fellow needed his help and came to discuss cooperation with him.

Zhong Qing chuckled, leaning against the flickering flames of Little Black.

He smiled very indifferently, then looked up, and with a gentle smile, waved his hand and said, "Miss Liu Yun, please don't joke."

"You are the Reincarnation Empress, bearing great Luck and Karma; earlier, when I wanted to take Miss Liu Yun as my Disciple, it was truly because I hadn't thought clearly."

"And fortunately, Miss Liu Yun refused me repeatedly before, which prevented me from delaying your future path to the heavens."

"As for that Sacred Body you mentioned, I apologize, someone without self-awareness like me cannot repair it."

"As for cooperation, that's even more absurd."

"How could someone like me have the Luck to cooperate with Miss?"

As Zhong Qing spoke, he had already sat down again and began to enjoy his tea and play chess by himself.

And Liu Yun, who heard what Zhong Qing said, her pupils constricted slightly.

Her coming forward to actively seek cooperation was already lowering her dignity as an Empress.

And Liu Yun asked herself, the conditions she offered were extremely generous.

Even if Zhong Qing was now the leader of the Phoenix Feather Sect, his own strength, at most, was only at the Returning to One Realm.

But what she promised Zhong Qing was the future of the Supreme Realm!

In the entire Chaotic Land, there might not even be anyone in the Venerable Realm, let alone the Supreme Realm!

Yet, he actually mocked her like this?

In an instant, the Empress's state of mind, having undergone two Reincarnations, was stirred.

"I admit! You are stronger than I imagined! And making the entire Phoenix Feather Sect respect you also makes me look at you in a new light, but you must also understand."

"This vast Central Plains Region, the Chaotic Land is merely a corner where one can live in peace; do you know what I can give you?"

"That is the Opportunity to truly soar in the vast world of the Central Plains!"

Zhong Qing continued playing chess, took a sip of tea, and then looked up.

"What if I don't need it?"

As soon as Zhong Qing said this, Liu Yun was stunned.

If she had already reached the Returning to One Realm now and could easily suppress everything and force Zhong Qing to cooperate, then it would be fine.

But she couldn't do it, and she could only seek cooperation from Zhong Qing!

But this Zhong Qing, he simply didn't want this cooperation!

After a long time, Liu Yun's ice-like face was flushed with a hint of red from being held back.

Her eyes were still cold, but her voice became a little hoarse: "Then tell me, what exactly will it take for you to cooperate with me?"

"Wealth and glory, future cultivation, and even certain divine weapons and rare treasures, I can all give them to you in the future."

"Just name it."

Hearing this, Zhong Qing pushed away the chessboard, stretched, and suddenly laughed.

"Miss, not everyone is interested in the things you mentioned."

"Because have you ever thought that I might obtain these things myself, or rather, I already have them?"

"So, please go back."

Saying that, Zhong Qing waved his hand, preparing to see her out.

Liu Yun's expression turned ugly upon hearing this.

But she couldn't act out, nor was she willing to leave just like that, so she pondered for a moment and continued, "Alright, since you don't want wealth and glory, nor divine weapons and rare treasures, then name a condition!"

Zhong Qing couldn't help but shake his head.

He started setting up the chessboard again, and at the same time, leisurely said, "Miss, have you ever thought that before discussing cooperation, there are some things that are even more important."

"What things?"

Liu Yun's beautiful eyes furrowed slightly.

"Attitude."

Zhong Qing looked at her and said.

Liu Yun frowned.

She naturally understood Zhong Qing's meaning.

But she didn't think there was anything wrong with her attitude.

In her previous life, she was a dignified Emperor Realm expert; lowering herself to seek cooperation and offering sky-high conditions was already the best attitude.

And Zhong Qing actually said her attitude was problematic.

This truly made her quite angry.

But remembering the pressure from the Shen Family, she still gritted her teeth and endured it, asking, "What kind of attitude do you want? To be your Disciple?"

After speaking,

she narrowed her eyes and looked at him.

"Miss is overthinking."

Zhong Qing shook his head and said, "I just said that although I did want to take Miss as my Disciple before, I had already understood it last time."

"Moreover, Miss has seen, I have many Disciples now, don't I?"

"I no longer lack Miss as one."

"Of course..."

At this point, Zhong Qing's voice paused, and he looked up again and said, "If Miss truly wants to cooperate and doesn't want to leave, you can temporarily stay here as a maid. Perhaps I can consider it."

"What?"

"A maid?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yun instantly exploded; she only felt blood rushing to her head.

Shock, anger, and various emotions immediately surged into her heart!

She believed that she had maintained enough composure and patience in coming here today, yet this person repeatedly humiliated her.

In her previous life, she was a dignified Empress.

He actually thought of making her his maid?!

Even if Zhong Qing was extraordinary, she was the Empress of the previous life plus the Hongmeng Sacred Body.

Even if she had something to ask of him, how could he humiliate her?!

She had figured it out; Zhong Qing was completely toying with her.

In an instant, she could no longer control her emotions; a cold ice sword suddenly condensed in her hand, and the lightning arcs around her body vibrated incessantly.

She held the sword, but before it was even raised,

more than a dozen powerful auras suddenly appeared!

These fifteen individuals were precisely the dozen or so Grand Elders of the Phoenix Feather Sect who usually did not appear, ranking before Feng Buqun.

"Who are these petty thieves?! How dare you lay hands on Master!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

More than a dozen grey-robed old men leaped out from the cliff behind Liaoqiao Peak.

All of them stood in front of Zhong Qing, each erupting with boundless Qi.

"Second Senior Brother! You sever her physical body!"

"Third Senior Brother! You sever her spirit!"

"Fourth Senior Brother! You crush her bones!"

"Fifth Senior Brother! You scatter her ashes!"

"All other Senior Brothers! Join me in setting up the grand formation; absolutely do not allow this woman any possibility of escape!"

"Absolutely no one who threatens Master is allowed to leave here alive!"

The moment the fifteen powerful auras appeared,

the cold ice sword in Liu Yun's hand seemed to be doused with fire, instantly turning into a puddle of ice water.

Even though the Hongmeng Sacred Body was infinitely profound, facing these reclusive old figures of the Phoenix Feather Sect, she was no match at all.

After all, there was almost an entire major Realm of strength difference between them.

Moreover, there were fifteen dignified ones!

Immediately after, Little Black and Little Ga also leaped up.

In an instant, boundless killing intent directly engulfed Liu Yun.

She stood rooted to the spot in horror, instinctively about to directly activate her Hongmeng Sacred Body, risking great impropriety by entering the Returning to One Realm, in order to gain a glimmer of hope for survival at this moment.

Even so, it would mean that the Hongmeng Sacred Body would almost certainly have no chance of being restored!

But the next moment, Zhong Qing stood up and suddenly clapped his hands.

As he clapped, the boundless killing intent all around ceased in an instant.

The fifteen grey-robed figures immediately withdrew their hands, and Little Black and Little Ga retreated to the side.

The killing intent ended, and Liu Yun also immediately canceled her breakthrough!

At this moment, a layer of cold sweat had already formed on her back; if she had truly broken through just now, even if she became an Empress in this life, there would be no possibility of assailing the highest position!

Now, when she met Zhong Qing's gaze again, she couldn't help but feel some lingering fear and panic, yet she found that Zhong Qing's face still carried a faint smile.

Zhong Qing slowly spoke.

"Why fight? Even if a deal isn't made, righteousness remains."

"Today, I'll just pretend Miss Liu Yun never came."

"See her out!"
