193: Chapter 193: Was the Empress born into the Hehuan Sect?

A few days later.

Amidst the rubble of a giant peak, a divine light erupted. Li Qing emerged, beckoned with one hand, and an Immortal Abode fell into his hand, which he promptly tucked into his robes.

"This Gong Suyun is too ferocious."

"If the opportunity for a Breakthrough to Quasi-Saint hadn't arrived midway..."

"I'm afraid I wouldn't have gotten out so easily."

Li Qing stretched, feeling refreshed.

"Li Qing, give me your life!"

The nearby Void Realm distorted, and the Woman in Green emerged. Her cold eyes were full of anger. With a flip of her jade hand, a terrifying Dao intent appeared in the sky, transforming into a giant palm that blotted out the sun and slammed down towards Li Qing.

Li Qing: "..."

[Wait, why is she here?]

[Is this never going to end?]

This bastard.

Are you surprised?

You did that kind of thing to me.

Is it wrong for me to kill you?

The Woman in Green was fuming with rage.

*Boom.*

The surrounding world began to turn the color of Chaos. An Innate Taiji Diagram emerged, blowing the giant palm apart with a single strike.

"System, is there a way to stop her from locating me?"

[Ding! Yes, there is.]

[Ding! Heavenly Dao sensing has been shielded.]

[Ding! As the saying goes, a short absence makes the heart grow fonder, but a temporary departure makes the drama extra sweet.]

Li Qing: "..."

This damn thing is actually enjoying the drama.

Li Qing took a step and disappeared instantly into the horizon.

At the same time, the Woman in Green lost her sense of Li Qing.

"He actually managed to shield my sensing."

"As long as you are still in the Immortal Realm, I will definitely find you."

The Woman in Green's figure slowly merged into the Void Realm and disappeared.

A few days later.

In an Immortal City, Li Qing was drinking tea in a teahouse.

"Have you heard?"

"The Ji Family's live-in son-in-law, Gu Beichen, has escaped."

"Ji Changhong was heavily injured."

"What?"

"That's impossible. Ji Changhong is a Quasi-Saint."

"I heard he was rescued by someone."

When Li Qing heard the news from the teahouse patrons, he was stunned.

[Holy crap, he escaped in just a few days.]

[As expected, they couldn't keep him trapped.]

[Who would save him?]

[I remember the only time someone in the Immortal Realm intervened to save him was the Empress of the Immortal Court, Nan Chunhuan.]

[Damn, could the Immortal Court wedding plot be starting?]

*Dong.*

Just then, the sound of an ancient bell echoed from the distant horizon, seemingly crossing through the ages and shaking the heavens.

"This bell... it's the Immortal Court's azure emperor bell."

"The azure emperor bell doesn't ring easily. Something big must be happening."

"Let's go and have a look."

The Immortal City was in an uproar as streaks of immortal light soared into the sky, flying towards the central region of the Immortal Realm.

[Holy crap, it really is the wedding plot.]

[The big drama is coming.]

Li Qing paid for his tea and flew towards the central region of the Immortal Realm.

On the way, he passed through several Immortal Realm domain gates.

It's so damn far.

When Li Qing reached the Central Region of the Immortal Realm, a surprised voice sounded in his ear.

"My Lord!"

The next moment, a fragrant breeze blew by, and a stunningly beautiful woman threw herself directly into his arms.

It was actually Yinshen Jade.

"My Lord, Yu'er was so lonely."

"Yu'er was so scared."

Yinshen Jade's tears flowed uncontrollably.

"I'm here, I'm here."

Li Qing gently patted her back and said softly,

"Why are you here?"

Li Qing asked tenderly.

"Ever since My Lord disappeared..."

"I looked for My Lord everywhere but couldn't find you, until the azure emperor bell rang."

"My Lord loves watching the excitement so much."

"Yu'er thought My Lord would definitely come here."

Yu'er looked up at Li Qing with tearful eyes.

A world without Li Qing was gray and colorless, filled only with eternal loneliness.

"So smart."

Li Qing reached out and pinched Yinshen Jade's nose.

"Come on, let's go watch the excitement."

Li Qing pulled Yinshen Jade and flew towards the Immortal Court.

As they approached the Immortal Court, a sea of red appeared before them. Red silk blotted out the sun, and countless Heavenly Soldiers of the Immortal Court were lined up in the Void Realm.

[It really is the wedding plot.]

However, when Li Qing arrived near the Immortal Court, he was stopped. To enter and observe the ceremony, one's cultivation had to be at least at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Li Qing appropriately revealed the aura of a Taiyi Golden Immortal and was immediately let through.

At the same time.

In a grand palace, a stunning woman clad in Golden Phoenix Battle Armor and holding a Red Gold Battle Spear was patrolling the surroundings. The aura of a Quasi-Saint radiated out, shaking the Void Realm.

[Eh, a Phoenix-armored female general.]

[Middle Stage Quasi-Saint.]

[Isn't this the future ruler of the Immortal Court, Yuan Feng?]

[Yuan Ling's older sister.]

[Tsk tsk, Yuan Feng truly lives up to her reputation as a famous beauty of the Immortal Realm. This figure is simply beyond words.]

Who is wagging their tongue?

Yuan Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

Her gaze swept across and landed on Li Qing.

At this moment, only Li Qing's gaze was unscrupulously sizing her up.

[Why is this Yuan Feng looking at me?]

[In a bit, this Immortal Court of yours will be quite lively. You'll have your hands full.]

[That ruler of yours in the Immortal Court sure knows how to play.]

Inner thoughts?

What does that mean?

Yuan Feng was startled.

*Dong.*

Just then, a melodious bell rang. This bell sound actually carried a pleasant Dao rhyme, making people feel joyful.

Endless red silk appeared in the sky as a man and a woman dressed in wedding robes approached the palace.

The woman was beautiful, and the man was handsome.

However, the man was Li Qing's old acquaintance, Gu Beichen.

[Tsk tsk, as expected of a stallion novel. Even the Empress of the Immortal Court is throwing herself at the male lead.]

[But Brother Gu, you think you've found a treasure, but your head is already a field of green.]

[Empress Nan Chunhuan is truly 'Chunhuan'.]

[She was the Old Ancestor of the Hehuan Sect before she attained Immortal Ascension!]

Hehuan Sect?

Yinshen Jade's eyes widened as she looked at the Empress.

How green must that be?

The Empress is from the Hehuan Sect?

How come I didn't know about this?

Yuan Feng was stunned.

To this day, she didn't understand why the Empress of the Immortal Court, a Peak Quasi-Saint, would marry a kid who was only a Golden Immortal.

[Right now, I'm afraid no one understands why Nan Chunhuan wants to marry Gu Beichen.]

[Because the Luck of the Immortal Court is declining.]

[The Central Immortal Court already shows signs of being unable to suppress the Immortal Realm.]

[The Heavenly Dao guided her: marrying the child of destiny can stabilize the Immortal Court's Luck and bring peace to the four directions.]

[That's why this scene is happening.]

[Pity, you all are just pawns of the Heavenly Dao. In the end, Gu Beichen will be the only one to benefit.]

[Before long, Nan Chunhuan, this Old Ancestor of the Hehuan Sect, will fall into a giant pit, helping Gu Beichen achieve the level of Peak Quasi-Saint.]

What?

A scheme of the Heavenly Dao.

Yuan Feng was greatly shocked.

Who is this person? Are these inner thoughts true or false?

Or is he scheming against me?

Yuan Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

[How could Gu Beichen possibly value a used shoe like Nan Chunhuan? Once he's done using her, his next target will be Yuan Feng.]

[Tsk tsk, I really don't understand how a peerless Prodigy like Yuan Feng could fall in love with Gu Beichen.]

[Becoming Gu Beichen's woman and the Empress of the Immortal Court.]

[But I have to say, this Yuan Feng has a great figure and long legs, her looks are impeccable. She's truly a stunner of the Immortal Realm. No wonder Gu Beichen set his sights on her at first glance.]

This bastard.

Where are his eyes looking?

Yuan Feng's eyebrows shot up in anger.

Curvy with long legs, who isn't?

My Lord, can't you look at Yu'er?

"My Lord, do you like 'protruding'..."

"...and this is 'curvy'."

Li Qing: "..."
