The wind howled, and everyone watched the retreating white-robed women.
At this moment, the words spoken by the white-robed women echoed in the ears of the common folk.
The eldest daughter of the Gu family, the Ninth Prince’s Consort, the sect leader of Juesha Men, the Empress of Demonic Beings – these titles seemed insufficient to fill her legend.
They filled the shock in the hearts of the people.
It was also at this moment that the words of abuse directed at the Empress of Demonic Beings or the Demoness, like an invisible slap, woke everyone present.
At this moment, they forgot that the Ninth Prince’s Consort, the sect leader of Juesha Men, the Empress of Demonic Beings – these titles. They remembered only one name.
Gu Qianying!
Not the eldest daughter of the Gu family, not the sect leader of Juesha Men, not a demonic being, nor the current Ninth Prince’s Consort. She was Gu Qianying!
A woman who could make all the people in the city remember her!
Thus, Du Chun, Meng Qinghua, Nangong Li, Ouyang Qinglin, and the others watched the direction Lu Zhu led her subordinates.
These few also swiftly flew towards the imperial palace.
Only Gu Yefeng, Old General Gu, and the Gu family army remained to clean up the mess.
Among Du Chun and the others, some held long swords, some held folding fans, and some held nothing in their hands, yet their presence was immense.
Meanwhile, Nangong Li and Duan Xifeng seized two horses, each riding one.
Ouyang Qinglin, holding the little Yihao in his arms, stepped on the wind. On the way to the imperial palace, he bought a carriage and placed the little Yihao inside.
“Are you Uncle Ouyang?”
Little Yihao looked at the handsome man in red before him, tilting his small head as he asked curiously.
Ouyang Qinglin sat outside the carriage, driving the horse, and looked back at little Yihao. “How do you know it’s me?”
Little Yihao reached out his small hand and hooked the embroidered edge of Ouyang Qinglin’s floral red robe. “My mother said that Uncle Ouyang likes to wear bright and beautiful clothes like her. You all like to wear red, but my mother only likes plain red, while Uncle Ouyang likes bright red, like a… peacock.”
Ouyang Qinglin: “……”
Seeing that the handsome uncle before him remained silent, little Yihao thought he was angry.
“Uncle Ouyang, my mother also said that she is fortunate in this life to have met such close friends who would share life and death with her. My mother also said that when Yihao grows up, he should worship all of you as his masters and let you teach him skills.”
Hearing this, Ouyang Qinglin smiled.
“You little rascal, you’re not old, but your words are sweet. I wonder who you take after.”
“Of course, I take after my mother. The ancients said that sons resemble their mothers and daughters resemble their fathers, and there is some truth to it.”
“The ancients said?”
Ouyang Qinglin glanced at little Yihao.
Little Yihao stuck out his tongue. “Ha, actually, my mother said that.”
“Pfft.”
Ouyang Qinglin laughed.
This was the first time he had seen Qianying’s child in so many years.
Looking at the child’s appearance, he bore some resemblance to Qianying, but more like Nangong Mo.
However, this child’s temperament was more like Gu Qianying’s.
This was good; it was better for a boy to have a more lively personality.
At this moment, within the imperial palace, a fierce battle was unfolding.
Nangong Mo was fighting Wulala Nayixiu.
This was a confrontation between spiritual energy and demonic power.
Half the sky was crisscrossed with white light and black mist.
With a flick of Nangong Mo’s sleeve, the spiritual energy around him surged.
On the opposite side, Wulala Nayixiu unleashed all the demonic power within her.
At this moment, her appearance had also become more hideous than before.
And it seemed that her body was occupied by another powerful soul.
“Lotus Emperor, we haven’t seen each other for over a thousand years. Seeing you today, Lotus Emperor, you are still as magnificent as ever, ha!”
Nangong Mo’s cold eyes remained silent.
He coldly looked at the “monster” before him, who was no longer Wulala Nayixiu!
“Who exactly are you?”
Whether in his past life or this life, or even in the immortal realm, he had never seen the “monster” before him.
“Hahaha, Lotus Emperor is truly forgetful. I have been in the demon realm for so long, and you have never heard of me, haha. But it’s true, back then, when I created the demon and immortal realms, you were just a sprout, hahaha…”
Hearing these words.
Nangong Mo’s eyes turned cold. “You are… the Demon Venerable Emperor?”
“Hahaha, it seems you have heard of my deeds. Oh, after all, I had a few encounters with your brother Bai Xianhua. If I hadn’t converted him and given him some demonic power, he would have remained foolish for who knows how long! Haha.”
The black shadow, possessing Wulala Nayixiu, spoke arrogantly.
“It’s you! It’s actually you!”
Nangong Mo’s gaze suddenly turned icy.
Back then, the reason his brother Bai Xianhua became the chief villain in the immortal realm was that the Immortal Venerable discovered demonic power within his brother.
Good and evil cannot coexist; demons and the immortal realm are natural enemies.
If it weren’t for the demonic power in his brother’s body, his brother Bai Xianhua would not have willingly become a stepping stone for him to become the Lotus Emperor.
Nor would he have sacrificed himself to achieve this.
Besides achieving success in the immortal realm, there was another path to becoming an immortal.
But at that time, because of that bit of demonic power discovered by others, their Sheng Yu family had no choice but to make the only choice to protect him by sacrificing the entire clan, allowing him to become the Lotus Emperor.
The cause of all this was this shameless, bloodthirsty “monster”!
“Today, I, this Lotus Emperor, will kill you on behalf of my entire Sheng Yu clan!”
Nangong Mo violently swung his sleeves, unleashing the spiritual energy in his palm to its limit.
“Hahaha… you, a mere nobody, are worthy of killing me? Brat, you’re still too young!”
Black mist surged, and the white light instantly changed color. All things instantly lost their original colors, withering and decaying.
A huge black vortex spread around Nangong Mo…
At the same time… on the other side.
Above the sky, a giant divine beast with eight heads, eight hands, and eight legs spun – Tian Wu.
He stretched his body to its limit, his massive form occupying almost the entire sky.
The eight hands swinging freely in the air, each with a power as fierce as a heavenly roar.
In the strong wind, Lu Zhu and others, holding swift sabers, were collaborating to kill this giant beast.
In the eight white shadows stood eight people, and at their feet lay fallen or injured fellow sisters.
And above the head of the divine beast Tian Wu stood a woman in red, her sword piercing the head of the divine beast Tian Wu’s main head. The immense shaking force almost sent the woman flying.
But at the moment she almost let go, she flipped up and stood firmly on the divine beast Tian Wu again.
In the howling wind, the wind was like a knife, cutting across the woman’s beautiful face. She closed her eyes, enduring the pain from within her body, and when she opened them again, her violet eyes turned red.
“I am king, you are beast. With my blood as the contract, with your thoughts as the lock…”
A contract spell was uttered from Gu Qianying’s mouth, and then a drop of blood from her palm fell onto the wound on the divine beast Tian Wu’s main head.
“You, woman, you actually turned me…”
Under the red light of the contract, Tian Wu the divine beast didn’t even have time to finish his words. His beastly form changed, his eight heads, eight hands, and eight legs… returned to one, and a blue light appeared on him.
After the blue light disappeared, he had transformed into a handsome youth wearing a blue robe.
Gu Qianying, holding the Scarlet Blood Saber, leaped down from mid-air with Lu Zhu and the others.
As they landed steadily, the blue-robed youth (Tian Wu) walked up to Gu Qianying. He knelt on one knee, cupped his fist, and said, “Master!”
