72: He Ni: It's time to close the net

Ye Hao didn't have the courage to enter, but the formation opened, and Bai Suying's voice came through.

After all, Ye Hao had caused such a stir, practically shaking the entire Divine Phoenix Empire.

How could she, being at the center, not sense it?

Ye Hao's legs felt like they were filled with lead, and he stepped heavily into Mo Yang Palace.

"It really is you..."

The moment he saw Gu Qing, Ye Hao understood everything and was instantly filled with tearing hatred.

"Hao'er, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Bai Suying's heart skipped a beat, and she reprimanded him.

At the same time, she looked at Gu Qing with some confusion.

The rebellious traitor Gu Qing had been harassing her these past few days, but he hadn't done anything to Ye Hao.

Could it be that the Flying Sky Demon Woman had made a move again?

That shouldn't be the case.

The two had no grievances, so there was no need to target Ye Hao.

"What's wrong with me? Nephew?"

Gu Qing also looked confused at this moment, asking knowingly.

As he spoke, he casually pulled the beautiful and dignified Empress into his arms.

"I... you..."

"I want you to die..."

Ye Hao was so angry he almost vomited blood, and then he really did, a mouthful of blood gushing out.

His vision blurred, and he felt a heart-wrenching pain.

He had been cuckolded again.

The last time was at home.

This time, it was in his imperial palace.

And he had been sending rare immortal treasures to his philanderer every day to nourish his body.

The thought of Gu Qing eating his food, living in his home, and using his things made Ye Hao completely break down, roaring with a twisted expression.

"Hao'er, what's wrong?"

Bai Suying was greatly alarmed and immediately wanted to rush over to check on him, but Gu Qing held her tightly.

Gu Qing had long been wary of Ye Hao going crazy and certainly wouldn't let his woman care for another man.

He wasn't Ye Ritian.

"Aunt, how could you marry this despicable scoundrel?"

Ye Hao's eyes were bloodshot, like a bloodthirsty beast.

"You scoundrel."

Before Bai Suying could speak, Bai Wuya immediately roared, his beard bristling, his phoenix eyes sharp as knives, like a ferocious tiger ready to devour someone, staring intently at Ye Hao.

His stance was as if he was ready to draw his sword and cleave Ye Hao at any moment.

Indeed.

His daughter and Gu Qing were doing well, what was Ye Hao doing here, causing trouble?

He would never allow anyone to destroy his daughter's hard-won happiness.

"My daughter and Gu Qing are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. When is it your turn, young man, to dictate here?" Bai Wuya stroked his beautiful beard, saying expressionlessly.

Those who knew him knew that whenever Bai Wuya showed this expression, he was enraged to the extreme.

Bai Suying also followed, saying, "Hao'er, don't talk nonsense. Gu Qing and I are deeply in love."

"Deeply in love?"

If Ye Hao believed that, he would be a complete idiot.

Bai Suying had always stayed in the deep palace; how many times had she met Gu Qing in total?

Moreover, Bai Suying was not the kind of woman who coveted wealth and glory.

She must have been forced.

"Aunt, don't be deceived by him. I can now support a sky for you."

"I'll kill him right now."

As long as Gu Qing was killed, his aunt would be his alone again.

Ye Hao, empowered by great destiny, unleashed the Imperial Dragon's Might, wielding the Saint Weapon Chixiao, fully displaying the Emperor's divine power.

His combat power directly approached the Divine Fire Realm.

He directly suppressed Bai Wuya, who was about to erupt, making him unable to lift his head, struggling to circulate his cultivation to resist the Imperial Might.

Looking at the majestic and domineering Ye Hao, Bai Wuya felt an urge to submit.

Of course, he knew very well that this was due to the Imperial Might, which awed the mind. If he couldn't resist, he would be enslaved.

And the courtesans he brought immediately knelt down, trembling.

Buzz~!

He Ni appeared, her body shrouded in immortal aura, sacred and ethereal.

Her figure was indistinct, as if she was beyond the horizon, yet also close at hand, a transcendent goddess of the world.

"Demonic Daoist, how dare you be presumptuous!"

The Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix joined forces, unleashing the power of Saint Realm Seventh Layer, and with the blessing of destiny, their combat power directly approached the Saint Realm Peak.

That's right, national destiny could not only bless the emperor but also the civil and military officials.

"What happened?"

Saint Realm aura and extreme dragon's might permeated the Imperial City. Countless people looked at the Imperial Palace in fear and prayed that a fight wouldn't break out.

Otherwise, they would be the first to die.

"Two Saint Realm..."

"Ten Venerable Realm..."

"Divine Fire Realm..."

Bai Wuya and Bai Suying, father and daughter, felt their scalps tingle.

They couldn't imagine how Ye Hao could exude the immortal law and Dao charm of the Divine Fire Realm.

This was the power only a Divine Fire Realm expert possessed.

Bai Suying finally understood why these top-tier powerhouses, who were rarely seen and transcended the world, would pledge allegiance to Ye Hao.

A young Divine Fire Realm expert, anyone would put aside their pride and follow him.

But she couldn't understand how Ye Hao had broken through to the Divine Fire Realm within a few years.

Could it be that Ye Hao was a reincarnated powerhouse, or had Ye Hao been possessed?

However, now was not the time to investigate these matters, so Bai Suying stopped Ye Hao.

With Saint Realm and Divine Fire Realm experts involved, once a fight broke out, the Star God Temple's Divine Fire Realm experts would surely cross the void and come to annihilate Ye Hao.

At that time, the entire Eastern Region could be destroyed in an instant.

"Hao'er, why didn't you tell me earlier..."

After Ye Hao withdrew his aura, Bai Suying's expression was complex.

Gu Qing had been tormenting her these past few days, making her wear all sorts of strange clothes and role-playing.

If she had known earlier that Ye Hao possessed such heaven-defying abilities, she wouldn't have had to suffer this ordeal.

But now, it was too late to say anything.

She was already Gu Qing's woman.

"I..."

Seeing this, Ye Hao instantly confirmed that Bai Suying had been forced.

And it was during their first meeting when Dong Fei was killed.

Knowing the full story, Ye Hao was filled with explosive regret, his chest heaving violently as he gasped for breath.

If everything could be redone, to hell with hiding his trump cards.

If he had exposed his trump cards earlier, his aunt wouldn't have been deceived for his sake.

"Alright, no need to explain."

Seeing Ye Hao stammer for a long time without being able to articulate anything, Bai Suying smiled and shook her head, genuinely happy for Ye Hao.

"To have such good fortune, your aunt is happy for you."

"Aunt, he..."

"He is your uncle. From now on, when you see him, you must not shout and yell, understand?" Bai Suying clearly didn't see through Ye Hao's thoughts and still maintained the demeanor of an elder.

This made Ye Hao feel as if his heart had been fiercely stabbed by a sword, and he put on a mask of pain.

"Gu Qing, let's go. It's not appropriate to stay in the Imperial Palace anymore." Bai Suying transmitted her voice.

Before, she didn't feel anything, as it was only right for Ye Hao to show filial piety to her, and she always treated Ye Hao as family.

But Gu Qing had already been exposed to the public eye. If they didn't leave soon, it would be causing chaos in the imperial harem.

"Okay!"

Gu Qing nodded, looked at the pained Ye Hao, and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.

He had obtained Bai Suying, truly a free ride!

He didn't have to pay anything; it was all thanks to Ye Hao playing the pig well, playing it beautifully.

"Aunt..."

Ye Hao watched, pained and unwilling, as Bai Suying and Gu Qing walked away hand in hand.

The ministers looked at each other, then at Ye Hao, a thoughtful expression in their eyes.

Before, they only thought Ye Hao was commendably filial, but now it seemed that was clearly not the case.

As for their aunt-nephew relationship, they didn't take it seriously.

This was a cultivation world.

Some families, in order to ensure blood purity and inherit the powerful bloodline of their ancestors, directly produced offspring through close relatives.

There were simply too many such families.

They were cultivating immortals, who still cared about mortal customs?

It's just that... their Emperor seemed to have acted a step too late and was preempted by someone else.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Ye Hao with strange expressions.

If they remembered correctly, Ye Hao came every day to deliver immortal delicacies to Bai Suying... right?

Then... Hiss!!!

Can't think, can't think.

"Damn it, Gu Qing, don't be smug. I won't give up. I will definitely win Aunt back." Ye Hao's fingernails dug into his flesh as he secretly swore.

The mocking look in Gu Qing's eyes as he left deeply stung him.

That mocking and disdainful look was exactly like his philanderer from his previous life... "That evildoer is strange. You must not interact with him in the future. It's best for you and Gu Qing to leave the Eastern Region as soon as possible."

Back at the mansion, Bai Wuya's voice was more serious than ever. If one looked closely, a hint of fear could be seen deep in his eyes.

"I know." Bai Suying pursed her red lips and nodded.

"Also, I suspect he..."

"Father, let's not talk about him."

Bai Suying quickly interrupted her father, looked at the courtesan beside her, and asked, "Is this Father's new concubine?"

"No."

Bai Wuya's expression changed, and he waved his hand: "She is a maid I found for you, you..."

"No." Bai Suying quickly shook her head, then found a bunch of reasons to persuade her old father... "He Ni, why are you hiding in the sword again?"

"I'm used to it."

He Ni slowly walked out, dressed in white, with an immortal appearance and flawless skin, exuding an air of aloofness and cold arrogance.

Her aura merged with heaven and earth, achieving unity with nature, ethereal and distant, seemingly right before one's eyes, yet too beautiful to be real.

She was like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman from beyond the firmament, desirable yet unattainable.

If there were immortals in this world, it would surely be He Ni.

"So beautiful."

Gu Qing racked his brains but couldn't think of suitable words to praise He Ni.

He felt that any words used to describe He Ni would be a desecration.

"Gu Qing, do you have any urgent matters to attend to next? If not, then cultivate diligently and improve your cultivation."

Praised for her beauty, He Ni's heart remained unperturbed, her expression aloof and cold.

She was one of the ten great goddesses of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm and even the entire Eternal Universe, outshining all others.

However, these were all false titles; strength was the most important thing.

She subtly glanced at Gu Qing, thinking, "I've waited this long; it's time to reel him in."

With Gu Qing's talent, it wouldn't take a few months for him to break through to the King Realm.

This period would be perfect for cultivating feelings and slowly seducing him with tenderness.

She didn't believe Gu Qing could resist.

Once she was pregnant, she would immediately run away with the child.

He Ni grew more and more excited the more she thought about it.

Throughout countless years, on the long path to immortality, she had always been alone, pursuing the supreme Dao.

If she had a bloodline descendant, she wouldn't have to endure endless loneliness.

"I had the same intention."

Gu Qing nodded, not knowing when Luo Li would appear. Waiting like this wasn't a solution.

He might as well take the opportunity to raise his realm.

Speaking of which, he had successfully seduced Su Qingyue and Bai Suying one after another.

Both of them were top-tier cultivation cauldrons. For others, even those with top-tier divine bodies, their cultivation and physique would have seen a leap.

However, it wasn't very useful for him; its effect was limited.

Gu Qing's Chaos Star God Body was almost perfectly evolved, not something that a cultivation cauldron physique could boost.

After all, with so many resources poured into it, if it could be boosted, then this physique would be too useless.

Nevertheless, there were still some gains, however small.

Thinking this, Gu Qing suddenly said.

"Ji Ning, I have He Ni protecting me, so I don't need you anymore. You can go back first."

Ji Ning had obtained the precious liquid and the method of Nirvana (Nirvana) rebirth, so she was probably eager to go into seclusion and cultivate.

"This..."

Ji Ning hesitated, looking at He Ni.

Bai Suying might not know the situation, but how could she not?

She didn't know where He Ni, this Saint Realm expert, came from, or what her relationship with Gu Qing was.

What if He Ni had ulterior motives if she just left?

"Go ahead."

Gu Qing flicked his sleeve and turned to enter a secluded cultivation cave.

His old father-in-law was a Supreme Realm expert, and the mansion had many secluded cultivation caves.

"Thank you!"

Ji Ning said softly, deeply moved.

She indeed very much wanted to go into seclusion, for holding such a heaven-defying fortune but being unable to use it was torture every moment.

"How should I explain this to Lady Zhi Meng when I go back..."

It was rare to encounter such a promising, generous, and considerate golden thigh, so she had to hold on tight.

However, it would be difficult to explain to Zhi Meng.

Although she hadn't sworn to follow Zhi Meng forever, only selling herself for a thousand years, that had long since expired.

But the bond between master and servant still existed, and Zhi Meng had treated her well, so she couldn't just leave.

"Forget it, I won't think about it for now. I'll take it one step at a time. Anyway, the two haven't separated yet, and Gu Qing hasn't made me choose. Eating from both ends is quite good."

...Meanwhile, in the Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm, Luo Li fused the Phoenix Essence with the Myriad Tribulation Undying Origin, forming a brand new physique: the Myriad Ancient Undying Divine Phoenix Body.

Her realm broke through to the Wangzhe Realm Peak, and she forged an unparalleled foundation that reversed the acquired to the innate.

She now possessed the innate undying divine nature and origin.

This meant she was now a true innate divine being, an immortal existence.

Additionally, while refining the Phoenix Essence, she also melted out a special innate talent divine ability, which merged with her origin.

Phoenix Nirvana Manifestation.

With a single thought, she could be reborn in nirvana; with another, she could incinerate all things.

Luo Li looked at Luo Ling, whose soul was on the verge of extinction, and her vivid red lips parted slightly: "Father, your daughter is still very kind. I will send you on your way now, so you suffer one less day of pain, never two."

If Luo Ling had blood, he would definitely be spitting it out at this moment, because his soul was already disintegrating. He didn't need Luo Li to act; he was already on the path to death.

"Rebellious daughter, you will surely die a horrible death. I will wait for you in hell." Luo Ling's eyes were filled with monstrous hatred as he looked at Luo Li, mad with jealousy.

He truly hadn't expected that Luo Li still possessed an innate origin. What exactly had he missed?

"Haha!"

Luo Li sneered, her expression indifferent yet resolute: "Every man for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him."

Hearing this, Luo Ling still wanted to continue cursing, still wanted to beg for mercy, begging Luo Li not to incinerate his soul, because if she did, he would truly be completely annihilated, never to be reborn, utterly vanishing between heaven and earth.

But before he could speak, a wisp of flame burned him to ashes.

"It's time to reel him in..."

Luo Li rose abruptly, peerlessly graceful, with a divine and immortal countenance, like a god looking down on all beings.

She exuded a transcendent nobility, a leap from the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Boom~!

Lü Bu led a team of soldiers, bombarding the secret realm day and night. The moment Luo Li walked out of the secret realm, everyone instantly held their breath, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Luo Li.

Beautiful~

Only this thought appeared in their minds.

Luo Li's beauty was the perfection of life's essence, from within to without, transcending racial boundaries.

She was like the materialization of the Great Dao, the most perfect existence between heaven and earth.

Noble and lofty as a god, fundamentally different from them.

"Ants."

Luo Li's phoenix eyes were unperturbed, her gaze proudly disdainful, like an unparalleled Empress.

She flicked her long sleeve, and a warmth like the morning sun enveloped everyone.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

As everyone came into contact with the light, they couldn't help but groan comfortably, their bodies rapidly melting and decomposing.

Even Lü Bu, a King Realm Peak expert who had once suppressed three peak King Realm experts, had no power to resist at this moment.

His body, his Dao methods, were being decomposed by an irresistible, indescribable force.

By the time Lü Bu came to his senses, his body had already been melted into a skeleton, beyond salvation.
