He could feel his entire body falling with the wind, the white clouds and sky gradually receding from his sight.
The scenery he saw was like passing clouds and flowing water.
As if encased in frost, he felt an icy chill to his bones.
His mind was filled with images of past experiences.
Life in hell re-emerged in his heart.
It was he who personally killed his mother, Bai Sheng Fei, and he who sent his dearest relatives into the abyss of ten thousand layers.
All because he wanted to become an Emperor and an Immortal, which was the sole obsession of their Sheng Yu family.
And for this very reason, he became the best candidate, blessed with the sacred lotus imprint, destined to bring glory to the family and ascend to immortality and emperorship.
His relatives, one, two, everyone around him became sacrifices paving his way.
He did not want this, nor did he wish for it.
But the moment his mother deliberately set a trap, deliberately using her own death in full view of everyone to legitimize him, he knew he had no choice.
He also knew that even if despair consumed him, he had to fulfill the mission of the Sheng Yu family.
Bai Xian Hua, his most beloved brother, became the final support on his path to success.
He would never forget the last words Bai Xian Hua silently spoke to him at the entrance to the abyss of ten thousand layers.
He said, "Brother, you are the pride of our Sheng Yu family, the person I will always love the most."
Land of Eternal Ghosts, Mouth of Darkness.
Bai Xian Hua severed his own meridians, crippled his immortal power, and, in front of him, leaped into the abyss of ten thousand layers without hesitation.
Because he eliminated Bai Xian Hua, the chief villain of the Immortal Realm, he was transformed into an Emperor, becoming the Lotus Emperor, ruling the Immortal Realm.
This is what outsiders knew.
But no one knew that he was the son of Bai Sheng Fei, of the same blood, and the brother of Bai Xian Hua, of the same blood.
Even fewer outsiders knew that Bai Xian Hua, the chief villain who defied heaven, acted as he did so that he would be qualified to die by his hands.
And the last pawn of their Sheng Yu family could be perfectly utilized.
Afterward, he ascended to emperorship, as the entire family had hoped.
But since becoming the Lotus Emperor, he was plagued by nightmares, unable to sleep at night, always seeing the image of his mother lying in a pool of blood, and the scene of Bai Xian Hua leaping into the abyss of ten thousand layers.
He was in great pain, as if living in an ice cave every day.
He felt no warmth and was cold to everyone.
Until his secret was exposed, and he could openly tell everyone in the Immortal Realm that he was the son of Bai Sheng Fei of the Sheng Yu family, the brother of Bai Xian Hua, Bai Gong Mo!
The Immortal Realm was thrown into turmoil, and he was banished to the mortal world, becoming Nangong Mo, the Ninth Prince of the Eastern Victory Kingdom.
The moment he became Nangong Mo, that night, he finally slept a sound sleep.
And everything from the past was buried deep within his heart.
He never wanted to remember, nor did he want to face it.
His body, as cold as ice, was suddenly embraced by someone, and the biting cold seemed to warm slightly.
He turned his gaze to meet Gu Qian Ying's.
"My wife, it's you."
The moment he saw Gu Qian Ying, a faint smile appeared on Nangong Mo's lips.
The heart encased in the ice cave began to melt bit by bit.
Gu Qian Ying looked at him, saying nothing.
She was waiting for him to speak, listening.
In a princess carry, Gu Qian Ying held Nangong Mo and descended gracefully.
Red robes and white robes alternated, fluttering in the wind.
The scene was beautiful.
"My wife, I'm so tired, I want to sleep for a while."
Nangong Mo's face was pale.
The once powerful him, at this moment, became helpless and "weak."
"Then close your eyes and sleep well, everything will pass."
Gu Qian Ying smiled at him, as if no matter how big the problem, it was not an issue for her.
Finally, Nangong Mo fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Qian Ying landed steadily with Nangong Mo in her arms. To the astonished expressions of the Sixth Prince Nangong Li and Du Chun, she handed Nangong Mo to Du Chun and instructed them.
"Take good care of him!"
With that said.
Gu Qian Ying stood up, her back to them.
Her clear, cold gaze swept up at the sky, a bloodthirsty glint appearing in her eyes.
With a flip of her palm, the Chi Xue Saber that had fallen to the ground was instantly drawn to her by her palm force.
Holding the Chi Xue Saber, she leaped into the air.
The moment she leaped, red hair, red eyes, and a fox tail appeared.
"Another useless waste, and one that doesn't resemble a mortal waste! The Little Lotus Emperor is surrounded by such useless people, hmph!"
The moment he saw Gu Qian Ying, the Flood Dragon sneered.
In his eyes, the boundless Little Lotus Emperor had already been defeated by him.
Let alone this little girl in front of him, it was nothing more than a moth flying into a flame, overestimating her own abilities.
However, Gu Qian Ying paid no attention to his arrogance.
"You ugly dragon, you talk too much!"
Suddenly.
Gu Qian Ying gathered all the demonic power within her and channeled it into the Chi Xue Saber clutched in her hands.
The boundless demonic power swept through the sky like a hurricane, vast and boundless like the ocean, instantly engulfing the still spinning giant dragon and gradually condensing into a sudden storm, without warning, yet with immense power.
The Flood Dragon waved its massive claws, spitting flames and blood-red edges towards Gu Qian Ying.
However... the drops of blood-red edges fell on Gu Qian Ying, having no effect whatsoever, failing to harm her even slightly.
"You!"
The Flood Dragon was utterly shocked by this abnormal phenomenon.
"Now it's my turn!"
As the words fell.
Gu Qian Ying moved with incredible speed, bypassing the Flood Dragon's repeated attacks.
Turning, leaping, in an instant, her feet landed on the Flood Dragon's head.
The Flood Dragon writhed its massive body furiously, trying to shake Gu Qian Ying off.
At this critical moment, Gu Qian Ying tightened her grip on the Chi Xue Saber and fiercely stabbed it three inches from the Flood Dragon's head.
"Whoosh..."
The Flood Dragon roared, its tail thrashing even more violently.
The powerful demonic energy surged into its body through the Chi Xue Saber, spreading a pain throughout its body as if it were being flayed by a sharp knife.
Its enormous body twisted madly, becoming even more frenzied.
The giant rocks on the mountain wall of Wu Yin Mountain were scraped off by the Flood Dragon, crashing down.
Gu Qian Ying stood on its back, her hands tightly gripping the Chi Xue Saber embedded in the Flood Dragon's flesh, refusing to let go.
Her red robes fluttered in the wind, her red hair wild and unrestrained.
"Qian Ying!"
"Ninth Imperial Aunt!"
"Empress!"
Du Chun, the Sixth Prince Nangong Li, and the Six Disciples of Yin Mountain all looked on nervously at the woman standing on the Flood Dragon's back, balancing herself with only the Chi Xue Saber.
Just as everyone thought Gu Qian Ying would be thrown off by the Flood Dragon.
Du Chun handed the unconscious Nangong Mo to Nangong Li, and just as he prepared to catch her...
They saw the woman standing on the Flood Dragon's back suddenly pull out the Chi Xue Saber.
Flipping off the Flood Dragon's back, she used the blood-stained Chi Xue Saber to slash sideways at the Flood Dragon's eyes.
The dragon's roar weakened from rage.
The power within its body dissipated.
Its massive body crashed heavily onto the ground from mid-air, creating a huge crater.
Gu Qian Ying landed with the wind beneath her feet. She threw the blood-stained Chi Xue Saber onto the ground, stood with her hands behind her back, and looked with her cold, indifferent eyes at the gradually weakening, enormous body of the Flood Dragon.
In the end, the Flood Dragon transformed into a man in black robes, clutching his chest, his eyes now blind.
The man had exquisite features, with the imprint of a dragon pattern on his brow.
"I never expected that I, this god, would be defeated by a little girl!"
As if unwilling.
Blood flowed from the man's mouth as he spoke.
With his eyes now blind, he could not see the person in front of him.
But he could hear the breathing of those standing around him with his ears.
Some breathed steadily, some breathed rapidly, and some breathed at a moderate pace.
"Little girl, what is your name?"
The Flood Dragon used his ears to pinpoint Gu Qian Ying's location.
"Gu Qian Ying!"
Gu Qian Ying looked coldly at the man lying on the ground, on the verge of death.
This person was actually the colossal Flood Dragon!
Gu Qian Ying, a good name, haha, this god hasn't encountered a worthy opponent in many years. Gu Qian Ying, this god remembers you!"
With that, the Flood Dragon suddenly got up, wanting to escape the area.
But... a sharp sword was placed at his neck as the Flood Dragon turned.
"Do you think you can still leave here alive?"
A cold, alluring, and bewitching smile appeared on Gu Qian Ying's face, only to disappear in an instant.
