140: Azure Phoenix succeeds to the throne as Empress; Queen Rainbow's deadly move

In just half a month, the Summer Resort, which had been rendered lifeless and had all its vegetation withered by the Yin-Yang Drought Demon's thousand-mile scorched earth, had transformed into a lush, verdant forest. Inside the entire resort, apart from the main hall, thousands of other buildings were swallowed by the rapidly growing plants.

The sleeping palace doors opened.

Queen Cailin was dumbfounded.

The original ornamental trees had become towering giants, and the entire resort was left with only one main hall, surrounded by dozens of feet tall, vibrant green trees, each one incredibly fresh.

"Is this my Summer Resort?"

"How long have we been here? Has this Cultivation lasted for several hundred years?" The Martial Empress wore a long black dress, and hundreds of crimson threads were tied around one of her slender Divine Grade jade feet, swaying in the wind, creating an indescribably pleasant sight.

Queen Cailin's peach-like pretty face turned towards the Martial Empress, and the two exchanged glances.

After half a month of jointly facing the "enemy," the relationship between Her Majesty the Empress and the Queen was no longer as tense as before.

People say there are three unbreakable bonds between men: fighting together, studying together, and, well, you know...

It's actually the same for women... "Master!"

A voice came.

Wu Feiyan looked up and saw her eldest Disciple, Senior Sister Qing Luan, dressed in a cyan immortal dress, descending from the sky with a graceful and radiant white-robed Fairy.

"Demon! How dare you~"

The white-robed Fairy originally had a faint smile on her face, but when she saw Queen Cailin and the Martial Empress standing hand in hand, her expression suddenly changed.

Clang~

A purple immortal sword was unsheathed with a resounding clang.

"Snow Moon Sword Immortal, no, this is my Master!" Senior Sister Qing Luan quickly stopped the white-robed Fairy.

Fairy Xue Yue's exquisite face showed shock: "What? Your Master, the Martial Empress... is a demon?"

To seize the Human Emperor's throne with a Prodigy's body.

This was treating the Righteous Path of the Human Race as nothing.

The Qingyun Immortal Sect had always taken it upon themselves to uphold the Righteous Path of the world. Even small demons hidden in the wilderness, if encountered by them, could not escape being slain and suppressed, let alone one who stole the Human Race's national destiny with a Prodigy's body.

However, this person in front of her seemed to be Brother Cao's Master, and her Cultivation Realm seemed to have entered the Divine Emperor Realm... "Oh no~"

As soon as Fairy Xue Yue called her a Prodigy, Wu Feiyan knew she had messed up.

Over the past fifteen days, the group had almost treated the Harmonious Divine Charm Pills like candy, in addition to absorbing the innate fire spirit pearl from Cao Meng's hand.

Their Cultivation Realm had soared as if on a rocket.

Even a once-in-a-century Genius would need one or two hundred years to barely cross the Divine Emperor Realm of the Saint Domain.

Under the nourishment of Cao Meng's divine skill, Wu Feiyan had actually forcibly advanced to the Divine Emperor Realm.

Perhaps because her Cultivation Realm had just Broken Through, her aura had not been restrained in time, and Fairy Xue Yue discovered it.

Once her identity was exposed, her path as the Human Race's Martial Empress would be over.

Queen Cailin said with great authority, "Big fox, what are you afraid of? It's just a junior from Qingyun. Just kill her!"

Wu Feiyan was helpless. This snake demon was still so domineering, wanting to kill at the slightest disagreement. She quickly tried to dissuade her:

"No, this is Cao Meng's friend. You can't kill her."

"Fairy Xue Yue, why are you here?" At this moment, Cao Meng walked out, supported by a voluptuous, stunning woman in a black gauze dress.

"Brother Cao, what's... wrong with you?"

Fairy Xue Yue was also taken aback by Cao Meng's comical appearance. She saw that fellow wearing a loose white bathrobe, his face pale, his eyes dark, his lips white, and most importantly, he walked like a crab, looking severely depleted.

Cao Meng waved his hand: "It's nothing, I was just ambushed by someone's Star Devouring Divine Skill and lost some Origin Qi..." As he spoke, he glanced at Queen Cailin.

This Prodigy, I didn't expect her to have this trick.

"Serves you right~"

A smug smile appeared on Queen Cailin's cold face.

The Martial Empress, who knew the inside story, also let out a suppressed chuckle.

This scoundrel, why isn't he arrogant anymore?

Why isn't he so imposing? During the Dao discussion, he defeated four people alone, arrogant and overbearing.

In the end, he even made Queen Cailin, who possessed the Heaven Devouring Furnace, kneel... The result, hehe~ his prestige is gone.

"Brother Cao," Fairy Xue Yue looked at Wu Feiyan and said hesitantly, "Brother Cao should know that the purpose of my Qingyun Mountain is to maintain the orthodox Human Race, but now..."

Cao Meng chuckled:

"Since Fairy has seen it, then report it to the Qingyun Immortal Sect. There's nothing to be difficult about."

Among the entire Qingyun Immortal Sect, only Fairy Xue Yue in front of him was somewhat friendly to him; they didn't have much of a relationship to speak of.

He wouldn't stop them if they wanted to eliminate demons and defend the Dao.

However, if they came after him, then he would have to apologize.

"This~" Fairy Xue Yue didn't know what to say for a moment.

Subconsciously, she actually didn't want to be enemies with Cao Meng at all, nor did she want Qingyun to be enemies with Cao Meng.

But~

"Alright, Dear Meng..."

Her Majesty the Empress's call of "Dear Meng" became more and more natural, even after being whipped by Cao Meng countless times, she didn't change it at all.

"Colorful Scale and I have discussed it. My mission to enter Great Zhou has been completed. Next, I will pass the title of Empress to Senior Sister Qing Luan and then go to where I should go, so..." Her Majesty the Empress said, looking at Fairy Xue Yue.

Fairy Xue Yue heard this, bowed deeply to Her Majesty the Empress: "Your Majesty is truly wise and righteous, Snow Moon admires you. I will strictly keep this a secret and not reveal a single detail."

The Martial Empress did this actually for Cao Meng's sake. She didn't want to cause Cao Meng to confront the Qingyun Immortal Sect and the Righteous Path because of her.

Furthermore, she had now repaired thirty-six Demon Summoning Banners, and there was no longer any need for her to stay in the Human Race's territory. Next, she had her own path to follow.

The Qingqiu lineage was still waiting for her.

If she couldn't be the Martial Empress of Great Zhou, she still had to be the Qingqiu Empress.

"I become the Empress?"

Fairy Qing Luan's charming eyes widened, "This, I, I can't, Master... How about giving it to Junior Brother~"

Cao Meng quickly waved his hand.

"Senior Sister, please spare me. I don't want to be an Emperor. I like to do..."

"It's settled then, Senior Sister Qing Luan will take my place." The Martial Empress stepped forward, grasping Senior Sister Qing Luan's small hands, "Disciple, you wouldn't want the foundation that your Master so painstakingly seized to be destroyed, would you?"

"This..."

Under the Martial Empress's sincere gaze, Senior Sister Qing Luan surrendered.

"Fairy, what can I do for you?" As Cao Meng spoke, he also sized up Fairy Xue Yue.

After some time apart, Fairy Xue Yue had undergone significant changes in both temperament and Cultivation Realm. The Sword Intent flickering in her eyes indicated that her attainments in the Sword Origin Dao were already considerable.

Her Cultivation Realm had even reached the half-step Divine Emperor Realm, just a little short of Breaking Through.

It seemed that after being thoroughly defeated by Crimson Flame last time, the old geezers of the Qingyun Immortal Sect had also learned from their shame and become courageous. They must have brought out some good things, otherwise, her Cultivation Realm couldn't have improved so much in such a short time.
