256: Why was Xue Di besieged?
Two remarkably similar figures instantly descended into the palace.
One figure was the Snow Emperor.
The other was the Dharma Body of Empress Rou Tian.
Empress Rou Tian had learned that her younger sister had been besieged by the Qingqiu Empress, the Empress of the Underworld, and Emperor Qin Tian together.
She had immediately dragged her sister along to come over and demand an explanation.
As soon as the Dharma Body of Empress Rou Tian descended.
Everyone felt a sense of oppression.
However, no one left the room.
In fact, no one went to greet her.
The Snow Emperor generally knew what they were all doing, but it was awkward to say it out loud.
The Snow Emperor had tried to persuade her elder sister many times, telling her not to come.
However, once Empress Rou Tian's temper flared up, she simply would not listen to reason.
Now, it was a mess, and the Snow Emperor felt very embarrassed.
"Sister, I beg you, it's really nothing."
"We were just fooling around."
"Please go back!"
The Snow Emperor said, her cheeks turning slightly red.
"Little sister, you are still young; there are some matters where I must step in."
"Otherwise, how will you establish yourself?"
The Dharma Body of Empress Rou Tian glanced at her younger sister and said.
Immediately, Empress Rou Tian's Divine Sense spread out, scanning the entire palace.
Finally, it settled on the Second Floor.
"Setting up so many Barriers, what on earth are they doing?"
Empress Rou Tian's gaze shifted as she muttered.
Subsequently, the Dharma Body of Empress Rou Tian prepared to break all the Barriers with a single slap.
Just as she raised her hand, she was pulled back by the Snow Emperor.
"Sister, they should be Cultivating, Cultivating!"
"Let's not disturb them, you should go back first!"
The Snow Emperor hurriedly stepped forward, blocking Shangguan Xue Rou.
"Cultivating? It doesn't matter if it's interrupted!"
"I am not targeting one person; I am targeting everyone present."
Empress Rou Tian was as overbearing as ever.
"Sister, it is that kind of Cultivating."
The Snow Emperor hurriedly blinked, constantly hinting to her elder sister.
Empress Rou Tian paused, her mind going blank for a moment.
"Ahem!"
"How detestable, even at a time like this, they are still Cultivating."
"Go and call the Empress of the Underworld down."
"I want to ask her why she joined forces with Qingqiu to bully you."
Empress Rou Tian turned around, her expression somewhat uncomfortable, and waved her hand as she said.
"No, there is no need! We are quite fine now."
The Snow Emperor said, hesitating.
As long as her elder sister understood what was going on, that was enough.
Otherwise, she was truly afraid that her elder sister would shatter the Barrier with a single slap.
The scene that followed would be awkward.
But asking her to go find the Empress of the Underworld made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
"No need for her to call."
"I have come down myself."
"You must be the Snow Emperor's elder sister!"
The Snow Emperor didn't go, but the Empress of the Underworld flickered and appeared in the palace.
As the First Emperor of the Underworld, the Empress of the Underworld was formidable.
On her own turf, she was truly not afraid of troublemakers.
"Empress of the Underworld, speak!"
"Why did you bully my younger sister?"
"Do you think she is easy to bully, or do you want to use your strength to oppress the weak?"
Empress Rou Tian did not turn around, but her aura had already filled the entire palace.
Even though it was only a Dharma Body, the Empress of the Underworld still felt a sense of oppression.
"Bully her?"
"Why don't you ask your younger sister what she has done herself?"
The Empress of the Underworld's voice was very loud, causing the Snow Emperor's expression to stiffen.
"Sister, let it go!"
"Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about it."
The Snow Emperor's eyes darted away, clearly not wanting to discuss this matter.
"Speak!"
"What did you do?"
Empress Rou Tian asked in an irresistible tone.
According to Empress Rou Tian's thoughts, her younger sister was a bit mischievous.
But as long as the offense wasn't major.
She could still protect her and avenge her younger sister.
"Actually, it's nothing much."
"I... I just moved the Qin Family's clan-protecting Formation to my own Sect."
The Snow Emperor stammered as she spoke.
Empress Rou Tian: "That is not a heinous crime!"
"By the way, there were also the Materials Emperor Qin Tian used to forge his Legacy, I took a little bit of those too."
The Snow Emperor added again.
Empress of the Underworld: "Do you call that taking? And you call it a little bit?"
"Your Legacy Materials were all taken... taken from the Qin Family, right!"
"Also, your younger sister took advantage of when Emperor Qin Tian and the Qingqiu Empress were not home."
"And emptied out all of the Qin Family's Heaven And Earth Treasure."
"And what about those several Medicine Fields?"
The Empress of the Underworld became more and more agitated as she spoke, because there was more to come.
"Of course, these are not important."
"The most important thing is that she also shattered the Desolate Heaven Emperor Legacy."
"Directly causing the Ancient Great Law to be severed."
"If it weren't for Emperor Qin Tian showing mercy, I reckon your younger sister would already be gone."
Upon hearing the end, Empress Rou Tian felt ashamed.
The Desolate Heaven Emperor Legacy.
That was the Qin Family's lifeline.
It was only because Qin Changsheng had a Bloodline connection with the Desolate Heaven Emperor that he managed to obtain this eternal Legacy.
Yet it was destroyed by her own younger sister.
Speaking of this, it was not just a matter of being in the wrong; it was completely unreasonable.
Snow Emperor: "I did that by accident?"
"Who told him to use such good Materials for his Legacy? I just wanted to take a little bit."
The Snow Emperor, being reminded of the past by the Empress of the Underworld, could not help but blush.
"Ahem!"
"Alright, alright, Empress of the Underworld, you go and get busy first!"
Empress Rou Tian coughed dryly, turning her back to the Empress of the Underworld, and waved her hand.
At this moment, she finally understood why Emperor Qin Tian had taken action.
Logically speaking, a Heaven Emperor powerhouse would not lower themselves to bully a Great Emperor.
Moreover, those who could reach the level of a Heaven Emperor would not have such a small stature.
"Shoo...!"
The Empress of the Underworld did not want to say more, and with a flash, she returned to the Second Floor.
"Xueqing, please make it clear next time."
"You even destroyed the Desolate Heaven Emperor Legacy."
"If this were me, you would already be gone."
Shangguan Xue Rou looked at her younger sister, feeling somewhat speechless.
"Sister, you didn't give me a chance either!"
"I had just told you about being besieged, and in the blink of an eye, you dragged me to the Underworld."
The Snow Emperor placed her delicate hands on her abdomen, lowering her head as she whispered a defense.
"Hehe!"
"I admire you; you even ended up with Qin Changsheng's son."
"I reckon that in the future, whenever the Qingqiu Empress sees you, she will be filled with anger."
Empress Rou Tian seemed to have thought of something and chuckled softly.
"Sister, I was forced into it."
"But now it's fine, I reckon they don't hold grudges anymore."
"After all, we've gotten familiar with each other."
The Snow Emperor spread her hands and smiled.
"Alright, I am leaving; I won't disturb you... you all's Cultivating."
"If you have any matters, remember to use the imperial decree."
"No matter where I am, I will descend."
Empress Rou Tian shook her head, and her Dharma Body instantly dissipated.
If it were only the previous few matters, Empress Rou Tian could have protected her.
But it involved the Desolate Heaven Emperor's Legacy.
She could not protect her, let alone seek revenge.
Heaven Emperor powerhouses also have to be reasonable.
After all, the Qin Family also had Heaven Emperors.
Snow Emperor: "Sigh, it really was just a little bit!"
