100: The Empress self-destructs

Chapter 100: The Empress Self-Destructs

The confrontation between Pei Xuanji and Shangguan Shuangyue had long since alarmed everyone in the capital.

Figures soared into the sky, observing the situation from a distance.

They also wanted to know who dared to make a move in the capital.

“That looks like the Empress and Shangguan Shuangyue.”

“And Cao Qingfeng.”

“Pfft—Your Majesty, who is speaking so arrogantly?”

“What’s happening?!”

“The Empress… turned into a Dragon?”

“Is that Devilish Qi on her body?!”

Gao Gong, standing on the second floor of the teahouse, dropped his jaw to the ground. He had witnessed the most shocking thing in his life, no, two shocking things.

That Li Yunshu, who didn’t know how to write the word ‘death’, actually declared his love for the Empress and even called himself ‘this old man’.

And the Empress of Great Chu, her true form was actually a Dragon, and she even had Devilish Qi on her body.

If this were to get out… with the Empress’s strength, if she were merely a demon, perhaps it wouldn’t matter if it got out.

At most, there would be some gossip in court, but no one would dare to say anything openly.

But her being a demon was completely different. Humans and demons cannot coexist. It was likely that all Cultivators from all nations would join forces to slay demons and eliminate evil.

Whoosh—

As a gust of wind swept through, Pei Xuanji, holding Li Yunshu, soared into the sky and fled into the distance.

“Hmm?”

Shangguan Shuangyue frowned slightly. Even with her Fusion of nine lifetimes of power, she was only evenly matched with the Empress.

The Empress left without hesitation, and her backup plans in the capital hadn’t even been used yet.

Having been in charge of the Town Demon Division for so long, she had naturally made many arrangements in the capital.

The purpose was to be prepared for any eventuality, such as the situation today.

Shangguan Shuangyue looked at Gao Gong. Today’s events were all caused by this traitor.

With a wave of Qi tearing through space, Gao Gong had no time to react and was directly reduced to a mist of blood.

Gazing in the direction the Empress fled, Shangguan Shuangyue quickly understood her objective.

“She’s going to Yunzhou to find Di Bing!”

“Hurry and follow me!” She looked at Bai Lang, who was still frozen in place, “With Li Yunshu, she would have some scruples. If she hands Li Yunshu over to Di Bing, you will surely die.”

She clearly understood the Empress’s intention. Once they reached Tianquan Sect, with the Sect Protecting Formation activated, Li Yunshu would be completely safe.

Without Li Yunshu as a weakness, she really wasn’t sure if she was a match for the Empress.

Having angered the Empress today, if she couldn’t win, she could only die.

Bai Lang, who had come back to his senses, immediately gave chase.

He didn’t understand why things had suddenly developed this way.

He had fantasized about becoming the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, where he could do as he pleased.

As a result, becoming a top expert in this world was even more dangerous than before.

In the past, he was just a small Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage, so why would he need to worry about the Empress killing him?

The higher his strength, the stronger the opponents he attracted. He now regretted it a little.

But he also understood that ever since he attacked Li Yunshu just now, there was no turning back… In the sky, the rapid wind whistled past his ears.

If it weren’t for the spiritual power protecting his body, his face would have already been shredded by the wind blades.

He really wanted to ask where they were going.

But remembering his suicidal remarks from earlier, he didn’t dare to speak.

To save him, the Empress had revealed that she was a demon to the public.

Thinking of this, Li Yunshu couldn’t help but lower his head.

He had once used this secret to threaten the Empress, and now, the Empress had directly self-destructed.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the phrase above the Empress’s head.

However, to his disappointment, the content of the phrase had not changed.

He couldn’t understand why, now that it was no longer a secret, the content of the phrase hadn’t changed.

The Empress kept her eyes fixed forward. After fleeing the capital, she didn’t look at Li Yunshu once.

Li Yunshu’s words just now kept echoing in her mind.

This guy knew he was going to die, so he became reckless.

Hmph!

She shouldn’t have saved him!

Yunzhou.

Di Bing was still in her sleep when she suddenly heard a huge roar.

Hearing the commotion, she woke up with a start and immediately sat up.

She didn’t even bother to put on her shoes and immediately opened her door, wanting to see who dared to attack Tianquan Sect in the middle of the night.

A giant Dragon circling above the main peak directly shocked her speechless.

And after seeing who the giant Dragon was holding, Di Bing’s heart panicked.

“Yunshu!”

“Mistress!”

Seeing Di Bing on the main peak, Li Yunshu waved to her from afar.

Di Bing took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

“I don’t know where Yunshu offended Your Excellency, and I hope Your Excellency will be magnanimous.”

She knew that she was absolutely no match for the strength of the giant Dragon in front of her, so at this moment, she could only yield.

First, she had to find a way to rescue Li Yunshu from the other party’s hands, and then—

Just as Di Bing’s thoughts were racing, Pei Xuanji loosened her Dragon claw and pushed Li Yunshu in front of Di Bing on the main peak.

Uh… Seeing this scene, Di Bing was a little caught off guard.

She blinked, looked at the giant Dragon in the sky, and then at Li Yunshu.

“What exactly is going on?”

Li Yunshu explained directly and to the point.

“Shangguan Shuangyue is the Heavenly Demon Sect Master, and she wants to kill me.”

Di Bing glanced at the giant Dragon in the sky, her eyes showing a questioning look.

“This is His Majesty.”

“His Majesty?” Hearing Li Yunshu’s introduction, Di Bing widened her eyes, “The Empress!”

However, she quickly noticed the Devilish Qi on Pei Xuanji’s body and immediately came to a terrifying conclusion.

“You are from the Demon Realm!”

The Empress’s true form was not only a demon, but also a demon from the Demon Realm.

Such news would probably shock the entire world.

One must know that it had been countless years since a true demon had appeared in this world.

Although the Holy Sect was labeled as a demonic sect by the orthodox immortal sects, they were merely a group of demonic Cultivators and could not be considered true demons at all.

But the giant Dragon in front of her, exuding Devilish Qi, was a genuine demon.

Pei Xuanji didn’t waste words with Di Bing and directly said,

“Activate the Sect Protecting Formation to protect him.”

Upon hearing this, Di Bing immediately surged the spiritual power within her body to activate the Sect Protecting Formation.

However, with her power alone, the Sect Protecting Formation could not be activated in a short time.

“Why does Shangguan Shuangyue want to kill you?”

Just as Li Yunshu was about to speak, Shangguan Shuangyue and Bai Lang had already caught up.

Looking at the two ill-intentioned individuals in the sky, Di Bing finally understood why the Empress wanted her to activate the Sect Protecting Formation.

It’s just that—her gaze fixed on Shangguan Shuangyue.

She was also one of the masterminds behind Bai Lang’s Possession of Cao Qingfeng.

So she was not surprised that Bai Lang was standing beside Shangguan Shuangyue and appeared here.

However, she couldn’t understand how Shangguan Shuangyue had suddenly achieved a Breakthrough to the Tribulation Stage in such a short time.
