Moonlight Queen, out

Thinking of this, Jiu You took a deep breath.

He descended from the clouds and bowed respectfully towards the Star Moon Immortal Cave.

"Currently, thieves have come to the Emperors dojo to cause chaos, slaughtering in all directions with such ferocity that we are powerless to stop them."

"Jiu You, a subordinate of the Nether Emperor, has come to respectfully invite the Yuexi Empress to emerge from her seclusion and quell the rebellion!"

After shouting three times in a row, finally, there was movement from within the Star Moon Immortal Cave!

Rumble...

As a loud roar resounded, dense Qi of life and death transformed into two profound lights, Hei Bai, surging and galloping like angry Dragons.

In an instant, they Broke through the Formation's restrictions, soared into the sky, shook the clouds, and permeated the surrounding Heaven and Earth.

As the profound lights of life and death flickered, a large number of green plants and spiritual objects around the Immortal Cave instantly withered, decayed, and died.

Their vitality was instantly stripped away.

It was as if an alternate Reincarnation had been completed in that instant.

Even Jiu You, as these profound lights of life and death moved and weaved around him, felt his scalp tingle, as if he had been targeted by the God of Death.

This was the power of an Emperor Realm expert.

He had no doubt that if the opponent harbored killing intent towards him, even if he went all out, he would likely perish instantly and become a dead body and Divine Soul.

This caused his heart to tighten involuntarily, his hairs bristled, and his entire being fell into boundless fear.

This was one of the reasons Jiu You was reluctant to personally report to the Yuexi Empress.

Aside from the Empress's unpredictable temper, her cultivation was profound, and her methods were divine.

If you displeased her, you wouldn't even know when you died.

The other party wouldn't care about your status or strength.

Within this Emperors dojo, besides the Nether Emperor, no one else was in her eyes.

Rumble, as the profound lights of life and death continuously stirred and permeated the endless sky.

Jiu You didn't even dare to breathe heavily, only his body was taut, like a statue, bowing respectfully and standing still.

Every breath, every moment, felt incredibly long to Jiu You.

He only felt that he was at the mouth of Purgatory, with the possibility of falling into the abyss and plunging into boundless Hell at any moment.

Thus, time passed, though he knew not how long.

A clear voice, devoid of any emotion, resounded.

"Master is one of the Five Great Hall Masters of Fengtian Hall, and in the entire lower Three Thousand Domains, few can compare to him in terms of noble status."

"Who dares to be so reckless as to come to Master's Dojo and cause chaos?"

Hearing this, Jiu You finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He was truly afraid that the Yuexi Empress, in a fit of pique, would blame him for disturbing her seclusion and dispose of him on the spot.

As long as the other party was willing to speak, it proved that she wasn't going to hold this matter against him.

He slightly raised his gaze, using the corner of his eye to look at the figure standing before him.

Her graceful figure stood tall, like a divine lotus in the world.

Her dark hair fluttered in the wind, like a waterfall of the Milky Way draped over her shoulders.

Her exquisite, fair features held a cold expression, with a crimson mark between her brows, containing a profound imprint that seemed to carry the ultimate truth of Heaven and Earth.

She wore a wide-sleeved meteor gown, adorned with stars, as if to guard her own being like the bright moon.

Her pair of Dan-browed Phoenix eyes, as vast and deep as the starry sky, exuded an aura of ancient ages.

The Qi of life and death swirled around her body.

Mysterious, noble, cold, and dangerous!

This was the feeling the Yuexi Empress gave to Jiu You.

Facing the Empress's inquiry, Jiu You dared not delay and quickly responded: "Reporting to Empress, this group of people are subordinates of Zhong Qing."

"This Zhong Qing is extremely extraordinary..."

He wanted to explain the Karma and stakes involved to the Empress from beginning to end.

However, before he could finish speaking, the Yuexi Empress waved her hand and directly interrupted him.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

Her cold voice was like a heavy hammer striking Jiu You's heart.

The Yuexi Empress stood with her hands behind her back, her gaze profound.

"You can't even handle a group of someone else's subordinates."

"I've long told Master that soldiers should be refined, not numerous."

"You've raised so many people under your command, yet not a single one can be of use at a critical moment."

"You'd best pray that their strength is worthy of my intervention."

As she spoke, the Yuexi Empress looked at Jiu You, the coldness in her eyes intensifying threefold.

"Otherwise, I will let you know that the price of disturbing this Emperor's seclusion is a burden you cannot bear."

Jiu You, being stared at by the Yuexi Empress, felt as if he was burdened by billions of tons.

His Divine Soul felt as if it had been frozen by the coldness emanating from the Empress.

He dared not argue.

He only respectfully said: "It is our incompetence to disturb the Empress's seclusion."

"All mistakes, all faults, are ours!"

"But those thieves are currently rampaging within the Emperors dojo."

"I implore the Empress to first bring the thieves to justice, to prevent further losses."

"Afterward, however the Empress wishes to deal with us, Jiu You will never harbor a shred of resentment!"

The Yuexi Empress snorted upon hearing this, her gaze shifting from Jiu You to the distance.

After a long while, she clasped her hands behind her back, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"I found you!"

"I want to see how capable those who dare to run rampant in Master's Dojo truly are."

As her voice fell, she casually waved her hand, and space was directly torn open.

The Yuexi Empress stepped forward and disappeared directly into the space.

Only then did Jiu You dare to stand up.

Looking at the disappearing figure of the Empress, the pressure on him finally vanished.

However, at some unknown point, his entire body was already drenched in sweat.

It could be said that the pressure the Yuexi Empress exerted on him was far greater than that of the Nether Emperor.

This wasn't to say that the Yuexi Empress's strength was greater than the Nether Emperor's; rather, this esteemed figure was always arrogant, and in her eyes, beings below the Emperor Realm, whether Great Sages or Quasi-Emperors, were no different from ants—if they died, they died.

"Now that the Yuexi Empress has personally taken action, I suppose this turmoil should be quelled!"

Jiu You murmured.

But then, thinking of the Scarecrow's unfathomable strength, he became uncertain again.

After all, the opponent could instantly kill even Great Sage and Quasi-Emperor experts; how strong was he exactly? He couldn't see through it.

However, if one were to say that the Scarecrow was also an Emperor Realm expert, Jiu You felt that it was unlikely.

After all, what kind of existence was an Emperor Realm expert?

With the status and arrogance of an Emperor Realm expert, how could he submit to others?

In this world, there were countless Dao and various mysterious secret arts.

Among them, there were not a few who refined Emperor Corpses into Puppets, thereby exerting several tenths of the Emperor Realm expert's strength from when he was alive.

In his opinion, the Scarecrow was not a living being at all; he should be an existence similar to an Emperor Realm Puppet.

If that were the case, it could perfectly explain his unfathomable strength.

However, such an existence clearly had a considerable gap compared to a true Great Emperor.

Thinking of this, Jiu You's mind settled.

He felt that this wave was definitely stable.

With a movement of his body, he directly followed the disappearing figure of the Yuexi Empress.
