Chapter 344: Empress Zhou Wu Goes for the Kill!

Chapter 344: Empress Zhou Wu Goes for the Kill!

"Impossible! Her Majesty has absolutely no motive to attack!"

Ning Waner shook her head firmly. "In the eyes of Her Majesty the Empress, Your Highness the Ming King is the most important person, and also the future ruler of the entire Mingyue Dynasty."

"In any case, Her Majesty could not possibly attack Your Highness the Ming King. Moreover, as Master Qin saw earlier, the soldiers guarding the Imperial City have all been rotated and replaced by other races; there must be some trickery involved."

Zhou Chen nodded heavily. "I don't believe that Big Sister would kill me, nor do I believe that Big Sister would kill Master Qin."

Qin Xuan glanced at Zhou Chen, feeling a desire to laugh.

He could believe the first sentence.

But as for the second part, he should leave him out of it.

It was possible that Empress Mingyue wouldn't kill anyone else.

But as for him?

Before leaving the Mingyue Dynasty, he had tried every method he could think of to humiliate Empress Mingyue.

Let alone killing him, even if Empress Zhou Wu were to grind him to dust, he wouldn't find it strange.

"But the facts are right before our eyes; it was indeed Big Sister who attacked us! Luo Xinyi did not wrong Big Sister!"

Su Youyu stepped out from Qin Xuan's warm chest, biting her lip, and said indignantly, "If it weren't for Third Sister activating her Soul-Devouring Body to barely hold off Big Sister, we would have already died at Big Sister's vicious hands."

"Third Sister's domain-suppressing cauldron has already been shattered. Without the domain-suppressing cauldron to heal her, Third Sister is now severely injured and hanging by a thread!"

Thinking of Wu Bingqing, Su Youyu quickly led Qin Xuan to the deeper part of the cavern.

In a spacious area, there was a simple wooden bed.

Lying on the wooden bed was Wu Bingqing, whose meridians were shattered inch by inch, and who was at the brink of death.

Around Wu Bingqing, many Treasure Artifacts and precious items were emitting a glow.

There was also a fist-sized pearl, similar to a night-luminescent pearl, casting light to protect Wu Bingqing's body.

If not for Luo Xinyi and Su Youyu emptying their savings to keep Wu Bingqing alive, this Soul-Devouring Body would likely have already perished.

Luo Xinyi looked at Wu Bingqing on the wooden bed, then glanced at Zhou Chen and Ning Waner, and sneered, "The facts are right before your eyes; you cannot question them. If it weren't for Su Youyu and me, Wu Bingqing would have already died!"

Whoosh—

Qin Xuan raised his hand, and Nirvana Fire landed on Wu Bingqing's body.

The firelight, like fireflies, burrowed into the cracked surface of Wu Bingqing's skin, causing her skin to begin to glow.

Immediately after, right before everyone's eyes, the severe wounds on Wu Bingqing's body began to heal at a visible speed.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the previously fading Wu Bingqing had regained a rosy complexion.

Her long eyelashes trembled violently, and she finally struggled to open her beautiful eyes.

The moment she saw Qin Xuan, everyone else in the cavern seemed to turn into air.

In Wu Bingqing's beautiful eyes, only Qin Xuan remained, and she murmured infatuatedly, "I knew it, I knew you would return safely."

Suddenly, her brows furrowed, and she urged, "Go! Leave here quickly."

"It is no longer safe here. Big Sister planted a brand in my body. She left me a way to live on purpose, just to lure the snake out of its hole so she could capture us all in one net!"

Previously, she had been unconscious and hanging by a thread.

That was not entirely the credit of Su Youyu and Luo Xinyi.

Rather, Empress Mingyue had done it on purpose, just to keep her alive.

Deliberately luring the appearance of Qin Xuan, who possessed the Nirvana Fire.

So she could take the Opportunity to capture Qin Xuan!

Boom—

Just at this moment, a loud noise erupted, like the earth dragon turning over. The entire cavern seemed to collapse, and earth constantly fell.

In the blink of an eye, the earth above the cavern that Su Youyu had dug out over a thousand feet deep was lifted into the air by someone using great power.

The group hiding in the cavern, including Qin Xuan, were like rats in a gutter, seeing the light of day again.

Above the giant pit, Empress Zhou Wu, wearing a black-gold imperial robe and surrounded by thick, towering Nether Qi, scanned everyone below with a cold, icy gaze and said in a deep voice, "Killing the Empress's beloved general is a crime punishable by death!"

Empress Zhou Wu raised her hand, and the Nether Qi transformed into a giant palm, covering the pit and descending heavily.

Ignoring Qin Xuan and Zhou Chen, she intended to suppress and kill them all.

"Does Big Sister really want to kill me?"

Zhou Chen looked at his sister, who was filled with murderous intent, tears welling up in his clear eyes.

Ning Waner looked at Empress Mingyue, who was launching such a lethal attack, in disbelief. "Your Majesty, what has happened to you?"

As a trusted aide, how could she not understand Empress Mingyue?

The Empress Zhou Wu before her, whether in appearance or aura, was exactly the same as before.

This was Her Majesty herself!

However, she could not understand why Her Majesty the Empress would want to kill Qin Xuan, or even Your Highness the Ming King!

Bang—

Just as the giant palm formed by Nether Qi descended, a jade talisman flew from the distance.

It struck the giant palm of Nether Qi and exploded with a roar.

Gorgeous firelight, like fireworks, bloomed in the sky above the entire Mingyue Imperial City.

Luo Xianxian arrived across borders, holding a celestial god edict, causing the light of the Heavenly God to rage behind her.

Like a goddess, she stepped into the air, facing Empress Mingyue, and rebuked angrily, "Empress Mingyue, you have gone too far! Qin Xuan killed rebels for your Mingyue Dynasty and even served as the Royal Master to teach your Ming King, Zhou Chen."

"And now, you actually dare to attempt to attack him!"

Without further ado, Luo Xianxian attacked directly, using the power of the celestial god edict to cause her combat strength to skyrocket.

She and Empress Mingyue turned into two streams of light, constantly rampaging and colliding in the sky above Mingyue Imperial City.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The earth-shattering shockwaves washed down like tides, one wave after another.

Causing buildings within the Imperial City to collapse in swathes.

Those mansions that had finally been rebuilt and were still under repair.

Now, they were completely turned into scorched earth and dust, with even their foundations uprooted.

Luo Xinyi looked at Luo Xianxian, who was constantly colliding with Empress Mingyue in the high sky, and exclaimed in surprise, "Is she crazy? Before entering the God Ruins, wasn't Luo Xianxian only in the King Realm? And a King Realm built on medicine at that. How did she become an Emperor Realm expert now? Could it be that Luo Xianxian received the most bountiful Opportunity in the God Ruins this time?"

Zhou Chen and Ning Waner looked at each other in dismay.

Even Qin Xuan and Scarlet Thorn showed expressions of suspicion.

One must know, before returning to the Celestial God Clan, Luo Xianxian was only at the King Realm.

How could she have broken through to the Emperor Realm in just one day?

This speed of cultivation improvement was a bit too terrifying!

Boom—

Luo Xianxian was slapped into the ground by Empress Zhou Wu, smashing into a deep pit.

She struggled to crawl up, tidying her dress, trying to show her perfect side in front of Qin Xuan as much as possible.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" After spitting out the dirt in her mouth, Luo Xianxian explained unhurriedly, "It is all thanks to Qin Xuan's earth-shattering feat in the God Ruins, which allowed my Celestial God Clan, as the provider of the altar, to also receive the reward of the God Ruins."

"And I, a member of the Celestial God Clan with pure Bloodline, naturally received a relatively generous reward, and logically promoted to the Emperor Realm."

After speaking!

She rushed into the sky again, taking out pieces of precious treasures she had refined from her bosom.

Constantly throwing them at Empress Mingyue.

Explosions followed one after another.

Causing Empress Zhou Wu to be constantly surrounded by firelight.

Luo Xianxian felt heroic in her heart.

Now that she was an Emperor Realm expert and had the celestial god edict to assist in battle.

Among this group of beauties, her strength was undoubtedly the first.

The troubles that Qin Xuan's confidantes could solve, she, Luo Xianxian, could also solve.

The troubles that Qin Xuan's confidantes could not solve, she could still solve!

"Explode, explode, explode!"

One piece of treasure after another exploded beside Empress Zhou Wu.

It was just a pity that when these treasures were refined, Luo Xianxian was only at the Saint Realm and had not even reached the King Realm.

How could their power possibly hurt Empress Mingyue?

Luo Xianxian, who wanted to show her brilliance as much as possible and outshine everyone, was ultimately no match for the power of Empress Zhou Wu.

In the blink of an eye, the heroic Luo Xianxian was caught in the palm of Empress Mingyue, losing all power to resist.

She looked back in pain, raised her hand towards Qin Xuan, who had just emerged from the deep pit, and wailed: "Qin Xuan, save me~"
