189: The Demon Emperor descends, a bunch of trash

Seeing their own juniors withering in vitality under Qin Wushang's terrifying devouring power, they all changed color and struck out.

Beams of Holy Light were launched, precisely wrapping around their respective Prodigies, forcibly dragging them out.

Huang Min, the head of the Huang Family, frowned, looking at the chaotic aura of Ye Jingfeng not far away, and hesitated for a moment.

"Forget it... it is a collaboration after all!"

"Although the results are not ideal, at least he contributed to my Huang Family."

In the end, he couldn't bear it and raised his hand to cast a beam of Holy Light, enveloping Ye Jingfeng, temporarily stabilizing the Divine Power rampaging within him, and helping him escape the devouring field.

"Thump!"

Ye Jingfeng staggered to the ground, his face pale and defeated.

His originally pitch-black hair had turned gray and dry, his vitality decayed, and his cultivation, originally at the Heavenly God Realm, had fallen to the True God Realm.

He looked up, glaring with extreme hatred at Qin Wushang, who was sitting cross-legged in the pillar of light in the distance, and let out a roar.

"Qin! Wu! Shang! You devil!"

"You really... you really practiced an extremely vicious Demonic Technique! You will not die a good death!"

He could be considered completely crippled!

Although his cultivation was still at the True God Realm, in this state, even someone in the Divine Fire Realm could kill him.

"Your Majesty!"

Chu Tianhai was the first to step out from the crowd.

His expression was filled with grief and indignation as he bowed deeply to Chu Yuehua high in the sky, his voice resonant.

"How is this child's behavior any different from a devil?"

"Devouring the vitality of his peers in public, damaging the foundation of others—this is a great taboo in the cultivation world, and even more so, it is murdering the future pillars of our Great Chu!"

"His heart is punishable, and his actions deserve to be beheaded! I implore Your Majesty to investigate clearly, punish him severely, to set an example, and to calm the hearts of the people!"

"Indeed!"

Murong Yan followed closely behind, the malice he could barely suppress on the corners of his mouth almost overflowing.

"Your Majesty, please judge clearly! This subject heard long ago that when this child was in the Cang Realm, he had already unleashed an unknown Demonic Technique, causing thousands of miles of scorched earth, towering Devilish Qi, and countless lives to be devastated!"

"Now, in front of everyone, he has used this evil method to devour the Origin vitality of others—the evidence is irrefutable!"

"This child has clearly gone astray and fallen into the Demonic Path without realizing it!"

"If left unchecked, in time, he will surely become a great Devil Head who brings disaster to the world!"

"For the sake of our Great Chu's national foundation, and for the sake of the common people of the world, I implore Your Majesty to use your great Divine Ability to suppress him, abolish his cultivation, and eliminate future troubles!"

He even brought up the affairs of the Cang Realm, intending to confirm Qin Wushang's identity as a Devil Head.

While practicing Demonic Techniques was not strictly prohibited in Great Chu, it had always been rejected by the Righteous Path, especially such evil methods that clearly benefited oneself at the expense of others, which were universally condemned.

The miserable sight of Ye Jingfeng falling from grace as a Prodigy was right before their eyes, making these words seem even more reasonable and well-founded.

"Your Majesty!"

The Li family head also stood up.

His expression was pained as he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country and should act impartially; you must not let personal feelings override public duty!"

"If you protect and indulge him again and again just because he is Your Majesty's Disciple, I fear... I fear it will chill the hearts of the loyal subjects and righteous men of the world!"

He paused, a flash of severity in his eyes, and added: "Furthermore, my incompetent dog of a son, Li Wuyou, was also harmed by his poisonous hands!"

"I implore Your Majesty to settle both new and old debts together and uphold justice for the innocent!"

"Your Majesty! Demonic Path methods are vicious and grow rapidly. If this child's talent is so terrifying, if he becomes a Devil Head, the consequences will be unimaginable! If you hesitate, you will suffer the consequences!"

"Please, Your Majesty, suppress the Devil Head!"

"Please, Your Majesty, uphold justice!"

For a moment, several heads of the Noble Families who either had old grudges with Qin Wushang or were worried about their own interests being damaged echoed the sentiment.

On the imperial throne high in the sky, Chu Yuehua listened quietly to the noisy condemnation below, her cold face showing no expression.

In her previous life, Qin Wushang did indeed become a demonic cultivator and was the Lord of Ten Thousand Devils who shook the Five Domains and Two Heavens.

But in this life... so far, the so-called Demonic Path methods Qin Wushang had displayed were nothing more than a set of fist techniques, the Evil Demon Emperor Seal.

The current ability to devour vitality and Divine Power was clearly a natural Divine Ability from the Kunpeng Legacy, not a Demonic Technique.

These heads of the Noble Families were merely making a mountain out of a molehill.

She was about to speak to suppress this noise with the authority of the Empress when she suddenly frowned and looked up at the void outside Emperor Mountain.

"Your Majesty! Demonic cultivators should be killed by everyone; this is an iron law through the ages! I implore Your Majesty not to hesitate any longer..."

Seeing Chu Yuehua's silence, Chu Tianhai thought she was wavering, so he struck while the iron was hot, took a step forward, and his voice became even more impassioned.

However, the next moment.

"Slap!"

The sound of a slap exploded suddenly!

Chu Tianhai was seen distorting as he flew out!

The whole scene was deathly silent!

The voices of the Noble Family heads stopped abruptly.

They looked in terror at the direction Chu Tianhai flew off to, then suddenly turned to look at Chu Yuehua.

Chu Yuehua remained seated, not even lifting a finger.

Everyone followed her gaze and looked on in fear.

In the distant, calm void, circles of enchanting pink light rippled outward.

Immediately after, a figure so beautiful that it could dim the sun and moon stepped out from the center of the ripples.

She was wearing a daringly cut waist-cinching dress; the fabric was neither gauze nor silk, flowing with a bewitching luster in the light, tightly wrapping around her breathtaking, proud curves.

The skirt had a high slit, and with her movements, a pair of straight, slender, and perfect jade legs were visible, dizzying to behold.

Her jade feet were bare, the shape beautiful, with ten toes round like pearls, painted with vibrant nail polish.

Most striking was that on her slender, delicate left ankle, a thin red string was tied, from which three small, exquisite golden bells dangled.

With every step she took, the bells emitted a crisp, pleasant chime.

"Oh~"

A lazy, charming voice seemed to carry hooks, capable of melting into one's bones and making one's heart itch.

"You just said... demonic cultivators should be killed by everyone?"

She stood in the air, tilting her head slightly, sweeping her fox-like eyes, which seemed to be filled with the spring water of peach blossoms, over the crowd below with a playful smile.

"Does that mean... even this Empress must be killed as well~"

Her voice was not loud, even carrying a smile, but to everyone's ears, it was the sound of a devil, the swan song of death.

Everyone, including those Saint Venerable Realm heads of the Noble Families, felt their hair stand on end.

They lowered their heads tightly, not daring to look at that flash of red for a second time, their hearts pounding as if they were about to burst their chests.

It was that Demoness!

The leader of the Nine Nether Sacred Cult, the renowned, capricious, murderous Demon Emperor, Su Qingjue!

She had actually come!

Chu Tianhai, embedded in the mountain wall, opened his eyes.

His blurred vision met the red figure in the sky, and he was immediately terrified.

"Demon... Demon Emperor... Su Qingjue!"

Su Qingjue seemed to hear this low cry, and as her gaze fell on his swollen, pig-like face, her red lips curled into a mesmerizing, alluring smile.

"Tsk, a piece of trash."

Su Qingjue withdrew her gaze, her bare feet lightly touching the void, the bells on her ankle jingling.

She swayed her waist—which was so slender it could be held in one hand, yet possessed breathtaking curves—and walked step by step toward the high platform where Chu Yuehua was.

With every step, her full, towering breasts trembled slightly, drawing breathtaking arcs, which, combined with her swaying, plump hips, formed a strong visual impact that made blood boil, yet no one dared to harbor any thought of profanity.

"A bunch of trash that only knows how to bark."

Her red lips parted slightly, her tone filled with undisguised contempt and mockery.

"You shouted the slogans loudly enough, but when it actually comes time to act and eliminate demons to defend the Dao, why are you all shrinking faster than turtles, not even daring to let out a fart?"

While speaking, she had already arrived in the air beside Chu Yuehua, less than three feet away.

Two women of peerless elegance, yet with completely different temperaments, finally faced each other at close range.

Su Qingjue stopped, her soul-stirring, charming eyes colliding with Chu Yuehua's cold, moon-like phoenix eyes.

"Little Sister Chu~"

Su Qingjue suddenly smiled, that smile enchanting to the bone, as if it could melt solid ice.

She actually reached out without any hesitation, as if she wanted to take Chu Yuehua's arm, her movements as intimate as if treating a close friend from the boudoir.

"These so-called loyal subjects and good generals under your command don't seem very capable~"

"In front of this Empress, they can't even speak a complete sentence."

The moment she reached out, Chu Yuehua's figure floated back several feet like a phantom, surrounded by moonbeams, making her appear even colder, aloof, and unstained by dust.

"Su Qingjue!"

Chu Yuehua's voice was icy, calling her by name directly.

"Why have you come here?"

"Oh my, Little Sister, why be so distant and cold?"

Su Qingjue didn't mind Chu Yuehua's avoidance; instead, she covered her lips and chuckled, her figure flashing like a ghost, and with incredible speed, she stuck close again.

This time, she actually succeeded in threading her soft arm through the moonbeams surrounding Chu Yuehua, gently holding her jade arm, and even leaned half of her charming body against her!

"We sisters haven't seen each other for so long; I've missed you dearly in my heart, so I came specifically to see you. Is that not allowed?"

She tilted that face, which was beautiful enough to topple nations, breathing like orchids, her eyes so charming they could drip water.

Chu Yuehua's body stiffened significantly, and a layer of frost instantly covered her beautiful face.

Her arm shook, and the moonbeams flared, knocking Su Qingjue's hand away, her tone even colder.

"Get lost! Who is your sister? Shameless!"

"Oh my, Little Sister is so fierce~"

Su Qingjue was knocked away but wasn't angry; instead, she giggled, the waves on her chest heaving.

She blinked, implying something: "We will become good sisters sooner or later anyway, so why must you keep people at a distance?"

As she spoke, she made a move to stick close again, seemingly tireless of this intimate interaction.

Chu Yuehua's body erupted with bright moonbeams, forming a tangible, cold shield of light that firmly protected her.

"Stop this disgusting act in front of this Empress!"

"If you have something to say, say it; if not, then get lost! This is the Emperor Mountain of Great Chu; we do not welcome someone from the Demonic Path like you."

For Su Qingjue, Chu Yuehua felt no liking, and even harbored hidden resentment.

Especially in this life, after she had developed feelings for Qin Wushang, thinking of how Qin Wushang ended up falling into the Demonic Path in his previous life and was deeply entangled with this Demoness, she found this person even more of an eyesore, regarding her as a harbinger of disaster.

"Tsk~ So stingy."
