Chapter 318: Chapter 144: The Empress’s Intent! Chen Mo entertains everyone, blending in for good relationships! (6K)_4
"Impossible, those Daoist nuns have always stayed out of worldly affairs, when did their reach grow so long?"
The crowd whispered amongst themselves.
Jiang Qiyuan interrupted, "I was forced to escape, and didn’t handle the aftermath cleanly. The court will soon know about this matter. Act cautiously in the near future, inform the disciples, and it’s best not to leave the sect’s grounds."
The long-bearded elder worriedly said, "The plan has failed, how are we supposed to explain this to the Sect Hierarch?"
Jiang Qiyuan furrowed his brow.
Years of plotting, all lost in a single day, he felt more frustrated than anyone, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on this issue.
"If we can get hold of that Extreme Yin Body, there might still be a chance to make amends," Jiang Qiyuan said solemnly.
The Innate Extreme Yin Body isn’t just the perfect vessel for the Yin Extremity Gu, it’s also a top-tier Dual Cultivation Physic.
If offered to the Sect Hierarch, it might quell his fury...
"Ji Lianxing’s situation can be ignored for now, time waits for no one. Tomorrow morning, I’ll personally go to Tiandu City..."
Before he could finish, suddenly, the cave shook violently, as if an earthquake had struck.
The long-bearded elder’s face changed, "Elder, were you followed when you returned?"
Jiang Qiyuan shook his head, "Impossible, I returned through the Star Shifting Illusion Array multiple times, no one could have followed..."
Whoosh—
A blazing blue light pierced forth, interrupting his words.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a deep, bottomless fissure rapidly spread, shattering rocks where it passed, and boulders rolled down like raindrops.
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the entire mountain peak was torn apart like fragile paper!
Mountains crumbled, the earth cracked open, houses collapsed like pile blocks, disciples of the Gu God Sect panicked and fled, resembling a scene from the end of the world!
The elders leapt into the air, reaching outside the mountains.
Seeing the scene before them, they were all stunned.
Two figures stood in the sky, one in a plain white long dress, the other in a black Martial Robe, their appearances were peerless, like a couple in harmony.
The blue light whistled and spiraled in the air like a ruthless harvesting machine, every disciple of the Gu God Sect trying to escape was accurately pierced through the center of their brows, their bodies fell like dumplings, buried by the torn mountain.
A chill rose behind Jiang Qiyuan, cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.
He finally understood why they let him leave, it was to ensure they wiped out everyone else!
Such means, could it really be the Daoist Venerable?!"
"Gu God Sect and Tianshu Pavilion have always stayed out of each other’s affairs, why leave no room?"
"The Sect Hierarch is about to break into the Saint Realm, set to emerge soon, if the Daoist Venerable shows mercy, the entire Gu God Sect would be deeply grateful... Moreover, not a person died in Linyang City, the Daoist Venerable’s actions are quite unreasonable!"
Seeing that the white-clad woman had no intention of sparing anyone, Jiang Qiyuan negotiated loudly as he shielded the others before him.
"Heh, Daoist Venerable?"
"Don’t worry, it won’t be long, she’ll accompany you down there too."
Yu Youhan spoke indifferently, "Whether anyone died in Linyang City, what does it have to do with this palace? I’m here to vent for him, not to reason with you."
Jiang Qiyuan seemed to realize the identity of this woman, his face turned ashen pale. Without saying a word, his figure dissolved into black mist and scattered.
However, in the next moment, boundless blue rays surged like waves, engulfing everyone!
In the mere time of a cup of tea, thousands from the Gu God Sect were completely annihilated, their lives extinguished!
The night returned to tranquility, under the blood-drenched drizzle, the white-clothed figure remained unsullied, like an Exiled Immortal standing apart from the world.
Chen Mo was momentarily captivated.
Noticing his gaze, Yu Youhan slightly hesitated, "Do you... think I’m too cold-blooded and murderous?"
Chen Mo snapped back to reality, shaking his head, "The Gu God Sect careless of human life, committed countless evils, there is no innocent person... Besides, the Empress bore the burden of bloodshed for my sake, it moves me, and I am glad."
Yu Youhan suddenly remembered what Ji Hongxiu had said, asked on impulse, "Then are you mine?"
Chen Mo did not hesitate, "I live as the Empress’s person, and die as the Empress’s ghost..."
Before he could finish speaking, his lips were pressed by a jade-like finger.
Yu Youhan spoke seriously, "Don’t say such things again, I want you to live well."
Live well.
From the very beginning, this has been Yu Youhan’s only request of him.
Yet the meaning behind it seems to have quietly shifted.
Chen Mo laughed, "Alright, I will live well and massage the Empress’s feet for a lifetime."
Yu Youhan felt inexplicably uneasy at heart, turned her head away, fell silent for a moment, and the breeze brushed through her hair, taking away the soft murmur.
"Hmm."
