Chapter 251 - 14: You are my wife, and that is enough
On the Limitless Immortal Peak, the usual hustle and bustle turned into a deadly silence.
The sky was covered by black clouds, and the spiritual qi in the air fluctuated wildly, accompanied by howling winds. The Madam is actually the Xia’s Empress?!
How is that possible?!
Upon learning this news, Zhao Huai’s mind went blank.
His pupils dilated, and his eyes revealed an incredulous look.
How could that be? Isn’t the Xia’s Empress a ruthless woman, a butcher and a demoness?
Didn’t she kill 500,000 soldiers of the Yan Country?
Didn’t she kill the young monarch and take the throne herself?
How could such a person be Madam?
Zhao Huai racked his brains to find a connection between the Xia’s Empress and the Madam.
In just an instant, many previously overlooked doubts surfaced before his eyes.
Madam once mentioned that she had two brothers and a legacy dispute.
Could it be King Yan and King Qin fighting for the throne within the Xia Country?
When Madam left the capital city, it just happened to be around the time of the First Emperor’s death – too much of a coincidence, right?
In fact, was it to see her own father?
She said she was driven out of her family, but she never revealed where her family was, the merits and achievements her family had made for the Xia Country, nor their military merits and records. She never mentioned any of this.
Does this mean that her alleged military background was just a part of her military career?
When she was imprisoned in the imperial prison during her trip to the capital city, it wasn’t because of her family’s involvement, but because she failed in the fight for the throne.
When the Devil Sect invaded Jinzhou, Madam left and didn’t disappear but instead returned to the Xia Country from among the people to take control! In other words, more than a year ago, on the other side of the river, that figure he saw was not a mistake…
It was Madam herself!
Zhao Huai’s mind raced, combining what Song Zhishu had previously analyzed and said — everything seemed so reasonable.
“This is bad, really bad.”
In the void, layers of devil shadows overlapped on Demonbred Situ Huan.
Heavenly Wolf Moon-Plucking, bloody moon in the sky, Devil Child Covering Ears, Dark Star Rising Dragon, and other changes amalgamated into one.
The overwhelming and terrifying devil might erupted, and with a “bang,” Gu Tianji, who was controlling the river of sword qi, was sent flying backward. A mouthful of bright red blood spurted out, and his face became even paler than before.
The sword qi river dissipated, leaving a deep trace in the white clouds in the sky.
“Gu Tianji!”
Elder Bai saw this scene, called out, and felt very uneasy in his heart.
If things continued like this, Gu Tianji might very well die in the Limitless Immortal Sect.
The Eternal Taoist Temple Master had only this one proud disciple; if he were to die here, it would be unimaginable.
However,aside from Gu Tianji there were not many young disciples who could step forward.
Earlier, other Golden Core Realm true disciples, including the gatekeeper Xu Muchen, were no match for Situ Huan.
Situ Huan had reached the seventh stage in the Golden Core Realm and had traces of breaking through to the eighth stage. His cultivation reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and it was just too difficult to defeat him.
Even Gu Tianji, with his extraordinary talent in the Dao, could only fight Situ Huan up to the fifth stage and was at a disadvantage. The other disciples couldn’t even compete in the first stage.
It was not that the Limitless Immortal Sect lacked disciples with extraordinary talents, but they were all stationed at other gates or outside the Spiritual Mountains and had not yet returned.
“Brother Gu!”
Zhao Huai saw that Gu Tianji was seriously injured and was extremely worried.
“Hand over the Ancestral Weapon, and I will spare his life.”
Situ Huan said indifferently, his aim on this mission very clear — the Ancestral Weapon on Zhao Huai.
Only by obtaining the Ancestral Weapon could the Devil Lord break free from the seal hundreds of years ago and see daylight again.
As the direct disciple of the Devil Lord, this was his mission.
If he wanted to reach a higher realm in the future, seek immortality and explore other worlds outside the realm, he had to save the Devil Lord first.
Zhao Huai furrowed his brows, instinctively wanting to take out the Magical Treasured Longsword from the black ring.
But his hand came out empty, with nothing appearing.
He couldn’t help but be taken aback.
His flying sword had been damaged by the self-detonation of the Golden Core and was no longer usable.
His combat power had undoubtedly dropped by a tier.
Just as Zhao Huai failed to find his sword, Situ Huan disappeared from his spot expressionlessly, turned into a hurricane, and launched a surprise attack on Zhao Huai.
“Be careful, husband!”
Yu Qinghan shouted and shot out, grabbing Zhao Huai’s shoulder. The golden core appeared in mid-air and emitted an unrivaled golden light, forming a pure golden shield to block Situ Huan’s attack.
The two auras confronted one another, causing turbulence in the air and fierce winds to rise.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly, two rainbow lights shot up from the Yujing Sect.
One purple and one green.
The figures of one man and one woman gradually became clear, and the two young disciples returned to the Limitless Immortal Sect.
“Look! It’s Senior Sister Zi Yun and Senior Brother Chen Jianshu!”
“It’s actually Senior Sister Zi Yun! I heard that she swallowed a mouthful of Heaven and Earth’s Purple Qi at birth, making her a person of great fortune and destiny. With her lightning attribute heavenly spiritual root, she obtained great opportunities, and her life-bound magical treasure is a damaged immortal sword. Her strength is formidable, making her the leader of our Purple Lightning Immortal Peak lineage!”
“As for Senior Brother Chen, his cultivation has reached the Perfect Golden Core Realm in the seventh stage, with a pure Yang heavenly spiritual root, and he has cultivated the ‘Unrivaled Sword Art’ to the unprecedented seventh layer. His sword skill is extremely high, and he is a Little Sword Lord with vigorous sword Qi. His strength is close to Situ Huan’s, and it is not impossible for him to win. ‘
Many Limitless Immortal Sect disciples fighting the devil cultivators revealed joyful expressions on their faces.
Zi Yun and Chen Jianshu were two high mountains among the true disciples of the Limitless Immortal Sect. With them guarding the sect, things would naturally be much easier..
