“If you dare to trespass the Violet Weather Palace, you will be killed without pardon.”
One of the Nine Heavenly Mysteries, the Cang Lan Martial Saint, soared up from the shore of the Heavenly Pond.
Cang Lan Martial Saint’s battle strength ranked first among the Nine Heavenly Xuanwei, and was the close guard of the Empress. She wore the Phoenix Flame Sacred Armour and held the Burning Sky Sword, her figure was extremely graceful, her eyebrows were picturesque, her face was exceptionally beautiful, and her long crimson hair was like a flame burning. Looking from afar, it was like a stunningly beautiful female Martial God.
In addition to that, all the saints in the Violet Weather Palace also struck out, transforming into a lofty silhouette, either shining with golden light, burning with flames, or glowing with haze.
A large palm, a holy weapon, a thunderbolt, all of them attacked the white-haired woman in the distance.
Someone intruding into the Zi Wei Palace was originally a dereliction of duty on their part, and at this moment, they naturally had to do their best to remedy the situation and kill the incoming enemy outside of the Source Primordial Sacred Hall.
The white-haired woman stood above the sea of clouds, her skin glistening white, her gaze ethereal, and her neck very slender, giving off a superb aura, as if she was a Lingbo Fairy who didn’t eat earthly fire.
She looked faintly, in the Zi Wei Palace, the saints hit the attack, stop blowing the piper.
A soft and boneless jade hand gently pinched the bamboo pipe and pointed towards the front.
Boom, the entire heaven and earth is violently shaking, there is a feeling that is about to turn over, all attacks, all are broken by an invisible force, flying in all directions.
At this moment, in the Zi Wei Palace, there were an unknown number of Saints who had moved the world, spitting blood from their mouths and fainting.
Even the Canglan Martial Saints were all dripping blood all over their bodies as they fell down from mid-air, looking to fall into the Heavenly Pool.
“Wow…”
The Sacred Arts Talented Woman extended a slender hand and struck out the Ru Ancestor Holy Book, holding Cang Lan Martial Saint’s delicate body and saving her.
The white-haired woman did not continue to strike out, and also stopped in her tracks, her pair of deep starry eyes, like two boundless universes, staring at the Empress sitting at the edge of the Heavenly Pond.
The empress appeared extremely calm, even her eyes didn’t fluctuate in the slightest, she just faintly said, “Lan You, you and this emperor haven’t seen each other for a hundred years, right?”
“It is one hundred and thirty-one years and forty-four days.”The white-haired woman said.
The empress was silent for a moment before she added, “Every hundred years that passes, you challenge this emperor once, and every time, it ends in failure.”
“So what? As long as I’m not dead, I will definitely come back to kill you again.”
There was a cold aura permeating out from the Empress, causing goose feather snow to fall from the sky on the night of the full moon.
Snowflakes, as if they were waterfalls, poured down.
From this, it could be seen that the empress at this moment was extremely angry.
“The reason why you are still alive is simply because, this Emperor hasn’t decided to kill you yet. Last time, this Emperor said that if you come to the Violet Weather Palace again, you will definitely not show any more mercy.”
“Can you still make a move?”
The long hair on the white-haired woman’s head was windless, swaying like willow flakes.
In the entire world, I’m afraid she was the only one, standing in front of the Empress, who dared to be so fearless, so calm, and so strong.
The Empress’s red lips hooked and gave a faint smile, that smile, breathtakingly beautiful, but with a few cold crags. She said, “You actually truly believe that this Emperor is no longer able to strike?”
A moment later, the Empress then added, “Eight hundred years have passed, and this Emperor thought that you should be a bit smarter than before, but I never thought that you would still be that stupid.”
“Is that so?”The white-haired woman said.
“Everyone in the world doesn’t dare to come and break into the Zi Wei Palace, yet you’re the only one who dares to come, and you’re still not called stupid?”
The Empress’s aura was very strong, divine light surrounded her, and her haze rushed to the sky, as if the entire Central Region was under the light of her divine light.
Which looked like she was hiding from the Heavenly Dao?
The white-haired woman said indifferently, ”Other people don’t dare to come, that’s because they’re afraid of death. I dare to come, and that’s because, eight hundred years ago, my heart died, and I stopped fearing death a long time ago. The reason why I am still alive, that is because, you are still alive. Regardless of whether or not you can make a move, whether or not you are hiding from the Heavenly Dao, today, I will definitely come. Chi Yao, let me just ask you, do you still remember the Zhang Ruochen from 800 years ago?”
Hearing the three words “Zhang Ruochen”, the Sacred Book Talented Lady standing behind the Empress, her figure slightly shook, and a pair of beautiful eyes couldn’t help but look over towards the Empress, secretly saying in her heart, “Could it be that the Empress and the Sacred Brightness Crown Prince of eight hundred years ago, really had some extraordinary relationship?”
After Chi Yao ascended the throne, she had secretly decreed that all books about Zhang Ruochen be destroyed. To this day, there were very few records about the Sacred Brightness Imperial Crown Prince.
The Empress, however, appeared calm and collected, smiled, and said, “Zhang Ruochen …… is truly a name that has been around for a long time, and if you hadn’t brought it up, I would have almost forgotten who he was.”
“You’re deliberately avoiding it, aren’t you? If you really can’t remember who he is, why did you personally order the capture of someone with the same name as him? After eight hundred years, your conscience would be uneasy, right? That’s why that’s why you feel scared and fearful, and can’t even tolerate someone who shares the same name as him. Right?”
The white-haired woman took one step forward and soon arrived at the poolside of the Heavenly Pond, standing opposite the Empress and looking across the water.
Both of them were absolute beauties, one was the Emperor of the Kunlun Realm and the other was the Holy Ancestor of the Hall of Brightness, but at this moment, they were fighting each other, and a great battle seemed to have been inevitable.
The Empress fell into silence, and after a long time, she said, ”Lan You, I don’t want to kill you, after all, there aren’t many of our generation that are still alive. You go back, don’t force me.”
“I came here originally to avenge him. By dying here, I am getting what I want. If, by some fluke, I kill you, it’s also because you deserve it.”
The white-haired woman’s eyes carried a sense of desperation, not even thinking that she would be able to leave the Zi Wei Palace alive today. She continued to walk forwards, stepping into the Heavenly Pool, her feet stepping on the water, stirring up a circle of fine ripples as she continued to approach the Empress by the pool.
The Empress closed her eyes, revealing only a beautiful eye line and long, curved eyelashes, and after a long time, she said, “What if he’s still alive?”
Hearing these words, the monstrous aura that had coalesced on the white-haired woman’s body instantly collapsed, and even the look of absolute determination in her eyes dissipated without a trace.
She stopped in her tracks, her eyes staring tightly at the empress not far away.
Only, the Empress closed her eyes, and the fluctuation of emotions in her eyes could not be seen at all.
“What do you mean?”The white-haired woman asked.
“There’s no meaning, it’s simply asking you a question. You can choose to answer me, or you can choose not to answer me.”The Empress reopened her eyes and locked eyes with the white-haired woman, looking calm and collected.
“I don’t believe it, you definitely have something in your words.”
The white-haired woman’s body once again condensed into an aura with a seven-coloured haze that surged out from behind her, transforming into a peacock silhouette that was thousands of miles long.
At this moment, all the cultivators in the entire Central Imperial City could see the peacock silhouette in the sky above their heads, as if an ancient divine beast had flown to this place, causing many cultivators to be terrified.
Only some old antiquities who had lived for hundreds of years guessed the identity of the owner of the peacock’s shadow, and all of them rushed towards the Zi Wei Palace.
The Empress said, ”If you must think so, there is nothing I can do. I just want to know, do you still dare to make a move now?”
Sometimes, one needed to have an obsession in order to be fearless of death.
When the obsession faltered, one could no longer be unwavering.
The Sacred Book Talented Lady gently bit her lip as she stared at the white-haired woman standing at the centre of the Heavenly Pond, and could feel the murderous aura on the white-haired woman’s body, which was still quite strong. It was only a pity that the look of absolute determination in the white-haired woman’s eyes had already receded.
At this moment, the Sacred Book Talented Lady could already conclude that the white-haired woman would definitely retreat.
The white-haired woman fell into deep thought, and suddenly thought of something, and in her eyes, an intimidating aura surged out.
With that, she raised her head once again and stared over towards the Empress, saying, “Chi Yao, when I have seen him, I will definitely return.”
The voice was still still encircling above the Heavenly Pond, only that the white-haired woman had already left, and no trace of her could be seen between heaven and earth.
“Having already cultivated for eight hundred years, it’s surprising that you’re still obsessed with you dying, me dying, or him dying. What difference is there between such a state of mind and a mortal?”
The Empress mumbled to herself, a pair of almond eyes, staring towards the water in the pool, revealing a light smile, a smile with a few hints of mockery, not knowing who she was mocking?
The Sacred Book Talented Maiden asked softly, “As far as I know, Wan Zhaoyi personally rushed to Yuanfu, mobilised a number of experts from the Ministry of Military Affairs, and is making a fanfare to apprehend the felon Zhang Ruochen.”?”Wan Zhaoyi’s errand was not done properly, so naturally, he is trying his best to remedy the situation.”The Empress said, “You also go to Yuanfu and bring a message to Wan Zhaoyi that within three months, if Zhang Ruochen cannot be taken down, this Emperor will have to convict him of the crime of deceiving the king. Let him choose how to die.”
“Understood.”
The Sacred Book Talented Lady slightly arched her hand, then, retreated.
……
…………
Yuanfu, Qingli County.
Zhang Ruochen used the Sacred Script and quickly fled ten thousand miles away, then, changed directions three times in a row, so that even he himself did not know where he had come to, and could not hold on any longer, before stopping.
Zhang Ruochen’s injuries were extremely heavy, the robes on his body, turned blood red, and he had entered a semi-conscious state.
Xiao Hei carried Zhang Ruochen on his back and entered a large turquoise-coloured mountain, and halfway up the mountain, he found a cave and hid inside.
When he entered the cave, Zhang Ruochen used his strong will to support his body and sat up, swallowing a healing elixir and began to operate his gongfu, refining the elixir and healing his injuries.
Although Li-Min was also heavily injured, but, after all, she was only an ordinary human’s physique, and after taking a healing elixir, she quickly healed.
The stronger the physique, the harder it was to get injured, and even if they suffered some external injuries, they could quickly heal themselves.
However, once a cultivator with a strong physique suffered a serious internal injury, it would be harder than an ordinary person to heal…?
Zhang Ruochen spent an hour to refine a seventh grade healing elixir, and only barely managed to suppress his injuries.
