65: Luo Li is simply a stupid pig and donkey

“We’re going to live here?”

Ji Ning asked with a faint tone.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed Gu Qing could be so shameless.

It wasn’t enough to forcefully seize things; he even had to kick people out of their homes. There was truly no one like him.

“Uh.”

“Of course not.”

Gu Qing looked left and right, feeling a bit awkward.

He had enjoyed scolding them earlier and had momentarily forgotten that this was someone else’s bedchamber.

Naturally, he couldn’t kick the Empress out and occupy her bedchamber. What would people say if that got out?

“Let’s go. We’ll find a random manor in the city to stay in for a while and find a tool person along the way.”

“Do you want me to track Bai Suying?” Ji Ning always remembered her role as a diligent tool person.

Bai Suying would likely contact Ye Hao, and this was precisely when she was needed.

“No need.”

Gu Qing shook his head.

Protagonists are all old foxes; they never reveal any secrets to friends or family. They only use such opportunities to show off.

Ji Ning going would be pointless; she wouldn’t get any useful information.

Besides, his brainwashing of Bai Suying was already sufficient. With a little more pressure, she would come to him herself.

“I am Luo Zhengyang. Greetings, fellow Daoist.”

As soon as they stepped out of Mo Yang Palace, they saw dozens of imperial family members already waiting outside.

Luo Zhengyang was the imperial family’s ancestor, the only Supreme Realm fifth-level expert.

However, his current state seemed rather poor; his aura was chaotic, clearly indicating he was injured.

“Something wrong?”

Gu Qing glanced at the imperial family members, his tone cold.

The imperial family members’ hearts sank. Gu Qing’s coldness suggested he wasn’t here to help their imperial family.

But if he wasn’t helping them, what was he doing here?

“Distinguished guest, having traveled so far, our Luo family has prepared a banquet. We hope fellow Daoist will grace us with your presence.”

A junior was not qualified to speak with him, so Luo Zhengyang cupped his fists and spoke to Ji Ning.

Ji Ning didn’t even look at him, standing silently behind Gu Qing, as if she were his shadow.

Luo Zhengyang took a deep breath.

He hadn’t expected that he, a dignified Supreme Realm expert, would one day have to curry favor with a Void Dao Realm expert.

He suppressed his anger and forced a hearty smile: “Hahaha… As expected of a Heaven’s Chosen prodigy from Star God Temple. Luo Li having you as her Senior Brother is truly a blessing for our Luo family.”

The corners of the imperial family members’ mouths twitched.

Their ancestor, who was once high and mighty, ruthless and domineering, holding the power of life and death over billions of lives, was even better at fawning than they were.

“Is that so?”

“But I don’t consider Luo Li being my Junior Sister a blessing. She took dozens of bottles of top-grade pills from me, but now she’s hiding and won’t see me. Who should I settle this debt with?”

Gu Qing sneered, his gaze like lightning as he looked at the human Supreme Realm expert before him.

Every single one of them was an old schemer.

What kind of banquet? Once he went, the news would immediately spread that Star God Temple was getting involved to support the Luo family.

Even if he didn’t go, the Luo family would probably spread all sorts of rumors, trying to scare off the rebellious kings.

This was probably why Luo Li hadn’t shown herself yet.

Gu Qing didn’t want to be used for nothing.

At this moment, dragging Luo Li out to take the blame was most suitable.

Make the best use of things and talents, right?

Anyway, Luo Li had already taken the fall for him once, so one more time wouldn’t hurt.

“This…”

The imperial family members’ expressions changed drastically.

They never expected Gu Qing to come here to collect a debt.

No wonder Luo Li had so many top-grade pills, as if they were free, scattering them throughout the imperial city.

But precisely because of this, their plan to use Star God Temple was stillborn.

After all, since Luo Li had already produced top-grade pills, it meant that Star God Temple would not send strong experts over at all.

“That unfilial creature truly deserves to die. She is simply foolish beyond belief.” Luo Zhengyang was filled with hatred.

Luo Li usually seemed clever and obedient, but she unexpectedly messed up at the critical moment.

She had such good innate conditions but didn’t know how to use them. Instead, she had good intentions but caused trouble, acting like a complete idiot.

If Luo Li hadn’t publicly recruited soldiers and horses, there would have been many more ways to utilize her.

With the name of Star God Temple, they could definitely scare away ninety-nine percent of the rebel army.

And those dozens of bottles of top-grade pills, some of which were greatly useful even for King Realm experts.

If they were all given to the imperial family, they could cultivate more strong experts, and the Luo family would surely prosper again.

However, a perfectly good hand of cards was completely ruined by Luo Li, this idiot.

Now she had even provoked Gu Qing, the victim, to come here. What were they to do?

The more Luo Zhengyang thought about it, the more resentful he became. He wished he could rush into the Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm and flay Luo Li alive.

“This… that… We also don’t know about Luo Li’s actions. You see…”

Anyway, compensating with spirit pills was impossible; it would never happen in this lifetime.

One must know that even a single high-grade top-grade pill was hard to come by, let alone dozens of bottles.

Even if they sold the entire imperial family, they probably couldn’t afford it.

“Hmph, I suppose you can’t afford to compensate. When Luo Li comes out, have her come to see me immediately. I will personally settle the score with her.”

Having said that, Gu Qing soared into the sky, not giving the human Supreme Realm expert any face at all.

Luo Zhengyang didn’t dare to get angry and still had to maintain a smiling face, fearing that Gu Qing, in a fit of rage, would make their imperial family compensate with spirit pills.

“Old Ancestor, what should we do?”

The various vassal kings were already close to attacking the imperial city. All the cities in the regions had fallen, and the imperial family was already a mere shell. If they couldn’t come up with a countermeasure soon, the rebel army would be at the imperial city gates within three days.

“Go to the Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm. Luo Li is the key to saving the imperial family.”

Rumble!

The imperial family members unleashed their magical treasures, violently bombarding the Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm with divine abilities.

However, the Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm was a sealed grotto-heaven created by a Divine Fire Realm expert sacrificing himself. It could even seal a phoenix, so it naturally couldn't be breached by a Supreme Realm expert in a short amount of time.

Nevertheless, the imperial family members’ furious bombardment did awaken Luo Li, who was in the process of refining the Phoenix Essence Soul.

“Has the rebel army already reached the city gates?”

Luo Li opened her eyes, her aura soaring, Phoenix Nirvana Fire permeating the entire grotto-heaven world.

She was like a Fire Empress, her phoenix skirt fluttering, wearing a crown, exuding a transcendent nobility.

“Everything is under control…”

Luo Li had long anticipated that when the rebel army reached the city gates, the imperial family would definitely bombard the secret realm.

She immediately sent messages to her newly recruited subordinates, as well as Xue Hua and others, to execute her second phase of the plan.

When Ye Hao breached the city and slaughtered the imperial family, that would be her time to emerge and clean up the mess.

By then, everyone would die.

She wanted the entire filthy empire to be buried with her Imperial Concubine.

“Ah, ah, ah…”

“Unfilial daughter… just kill me…”

Luo Ling’s Divine Soul was twisted by the burning Phoenix Nirvana Fire, letting out agonizing screams.

Burning the Divine Soul was the most cruel punishment in the cultivation world. The taste of it was indescribable; only those who had experienced it truly knew.

“Imperial Father, do you know? The pain you are enduring now is not even one ten-thousandth of what my Imperial Concubine suffered. Just enjoy it, after all, your Divine Soul is weak, and you don’t have many days left to live.”

Luo Li’s voice was cold, devoid of any emotion. After speaking, she closed her eyes and continued to refine and integrate the Phoenix Essence Soul.

Although the Phoenix Essence Soul was from a Divine Fire Realm expert, its physical body was severed and its Divine Soul extinguished by the Luo family ancestor, leaving only the immortal Phoenix Essence.

But it still possessed immense divine power, containing Divine Fire Realm laws, which a Void Dao Realm expert could not refine.

Luo Li could refine it entirely due to her Myriad Calamity Undying Origin and her Phoenix bloodline, which were of the same lineage as the Phoenix Essence Soul, their origins merging.

Therefore, the Phoenix Essence Soul would not attack her, nor would it reject Luo Li’s refinement; instead, it would cooperate with Luo Li and actively merge.

Boom~!

Luo Li’s aura surged, instantly breaking through to the Void Dao Realm eighth level.

And wisps of undying law aura emerged around her, transcendent and sacred, as if she were a naturally born deity.

And indeed, that was the case.

Luo Li’s Myriad Calamity Undying Origin contained innate undying divinity.

As long as she activated it and made it her own, she would become an innate deity.

This was a leap in life-level, a transition between the ordinary and the extraordinary.

“I hate it…”

Luo Ling looked at Luo Li with extreme venom in his eyes.

When he killed his wife back then, he should have listened to his trusted ministers and not left this hidden danger. However, due to a moment of greed, he took advantage of Bai Suying’s stepping stone and made a grave mistake.

He had been completely fooled by Luo Li’s superficial obedience all these years, leading him to mistakenly believe he controlled everything.

He had fantasized about stripping her pure Phoenix bloodline once Luo Li broke through to the Void Dao Realm.

However, he never expected that he had raised a demoness.

Not only would he die, but the entire Luo imperial family would die, buried with that slut.

The more Luo Ling thought about it, the more unwilling he became, roaring out loud.

“Unfilial daughter, where did your Phoenix Jade Token come from? Did that slut give it to you? Did you know all along that I intended to strip your bloodline?”

His eyes held deep-seated hatred, but also immense envy.

If he had refined the Phoenix Essence Soul, he would surely have become a Divine Fire Realm expert.

This was an immense fortune that could grant him longevity and supreme power.

By then, he would be the true Human King and Son of Heaven. Under heaven, there would be no land that was not his king’s land; within the borders, there would be no subjects who were not his king’s subjects.

Wouldn’t those peerless beauties kept in the deep palace for many years be at his mercy?

However, all of this was ruined by Luo Li. He could only watch helplessly as Luo Li refined it, his heart bursting with envy and jealousy.

It was even more unbearable than killing him.

Without an answer, he would die with his eyes wide open… Looking at the data, Fanfan actually gave me a measurement. Thank you, great masters, for following, clicking, urging updates, and giving rewards. There will be one more update tonight.
