Chapter 358: The Celestial God Clan's Intentions

"Self-righteous."

In the Void Realm outside Fengqi Hall, Leng Li, inside the ancient prison-suppressing tower, let out a soft huff, "This Empress Mingyue really knows how to act innocent after benefiting."

"She was clearly at odds with you before, her hatred like a raging sea, yet just because of a few words from General Gu You, she changed her mind."

"What's even more unbelievable is that she actually thinks it was because you exhausted your energy that you fled in such a sorry state!"

What a joke!

Qin Xuan's cultivation is right there, and his combat power is among the best on the imperial ranking.

How could a mere Empress Mingyue have the qualifications to push such a Prodigy to the point of exhaustion?

It was clearly intentional on Qin Xuan's part.

It was to make Empress Mingyue secretly happy, feeling she had regained some ground, so she wouldn't feel so helpless and embarrassed.

Who would have thought that Empress Mingyue would actually believe it?

"You really know me inside out; no little trick of mine can be hidden from you."

Qin Xuan teased with a smile.

Indeed, he had feigned exhaustion to escape.

Otherwise, with his Chaos Hongmeng Body, his vital essence would regenerate on its own.

How would he end up in such a sorry state that he needed to consume medicinal meals?

Let alone one Empress Mingyue, even if you added Ning Waner, Su Youyu, and Wu Bingqing together, it wouldn't have forced him to flee in such a sorry state.

However, Empress Zhou Wu is not Leng Li; she doesn't know his true background.

She has never had the experiences Leng Li had, facing so much alongside him, and remains in the dark to this day.

With General Gu You's persuasion and the weakness he intentionally displayed, it finally allowed the hatred in Empress Mingyue's heart to diminish significantly, so there was no need to be on guard.

"Let's go back."

Qin Xuan withdrew his gaze, turned into a streak of light, and shot towards the direction of the Underworld Kings Mansion.

Having not appeared for several days, and with a few troublemakers in the Underworld Kings Mansion who love excitement, he didn't know if they had turned everything upside down!

As Qin Xuan muttered to himself, he landed in front of his residence, which was different from the chaos he had imagined.

The entire Underworld Kings Mansion was unusually quiet.

In his room, only Su Youyu, dressed in a cyan ru skirt, was bending over to wipe the tea table.

"Qin Xuan, you're back?!"

Su Youyu raised her eyes, looked at Qin Xuan outside the room, hurriedly welcomed him in, poured him a cup of tea, brought it to him, and said with a worried look, "Where have you been all this time? Neither the Mingyue Imperial Dynasty nor the Ziyang Empire could find any trace of you."

"Do you know that a great upheaval has occurred in the Ziyang Imperial Capital?"

Qin Xuan took a sip of tea and asked curiously, "Did Ming Yuan destroy the Ziyang Imperial Capital?"

Su Youyu shook her head repeatedly, "Let alone destroy it, the million-strong Nether Clan can't even enter the gates of the Ziyang Imperial Capital!"

"When Ming Yuan and the others rushed to the Ziyang Imperial Capital, before the war even started, the Ziyang Imperial Capital was already shrouded in a national protection formation. That national protection formation is extremely massive, and its defensive power is astonishing. Even when Ming Yuan and dozens of Imperial-level experts attacked together, they couldn't shake it at all. As a result, the battle for the Ziyang Imperial Capital is still at a stalemate. The Nether Clan cannot attack, and Great Emperor Ziyang has no intention of engaging in battle; it has already turned into a shouting match."

Qin Xuan frowned and muttered suspiciously, "The Ziyang Imperial Capital actually has such a foundation?"

If it were Empress Zhou Wu leading the army and failing to take the Ziyang Imperial Capital, he would think it understandable.

But that Ming Yuan is ranked in the thirties on the imperial ranking and is from the Nether Clan.

Whether in terms of his own combat power or his background, he should be far superior to Great Emperor Ziyang.

How could it be that even now, he hasn't been able to take the Ziyang Imperial Capital after such a long siege?

Could it be that Ming Yuan is intentionally going easy on them?!

"What is the current situation at Yaochi Sacred Land?"

Qin Xuan asked.

Before Su Youyu could answer, she saw Luo Xinyi land from outside, walk straight into the room, familiarly pour herself a cup of tea, and drink it in one gulp.

She then slumped into Qin Xuan's arms, leaned on his shoulder, rubbed against him, and said resentfully, "Qin Xuan, I'm finished!"

"I went back to Yaochi Sacred Land, and now Qing Xue refuses to see me."

"Thinking about it, she must have learned about you and me from Shangguan Ying, seen my true colors, and now I have become a shameless person despised by everyone."

"I don't care! You must accompany me tonight. Because of you, I am condemned by everyone. If even you abandon me, what is the point of me living?"

Hearing this, Su Youyu swallowed the words that were about to come out.

No.

Is this change in tone a bit too abrupt?

After Mu Qingxue found out the truth, shouldn't you, who snatched your sister's fiancé, be trying hard to seek Mu Qingxue's forgiveness?

Why are you now completely ignoring Mu Qingxue's opinion, directly seeking Qin Xuan to complain, and instead using this as a reason to monopolize Qin Xuan?

Are you just going to ignore your good sister Mu Qingxue?

Qin Xuan pushed Luo Xinyi's delicate body away slightly and asked sternly, "How is the situation at Yaochi Sacred Land? Has Great Emperor Ziyang secretly made a move against Yaochi?"

Luo Xinyi rolled her eyes and said, "Make a move? Great Emperor Ziyang is already overwhelmed himself; how could he have the mind to make a move against Yaochi?"

"Furthermore, our Holy Lord is the most brilliant talent in the Ziyang Empire besides Great Emperor Ziyang. With her in charge, even if Great Emperor Ziyang had such thoughts, he would have to hold them back."

"Yaochi Sacred Land is as normal as ever, thriving. It is said that the Holy Lord is in seclusion to break through to the Imperial Realm, and the various Peak Masters have also gained insights and are currently in seclusion to break through."

"That's good."

Qin Xuan nodded slowly, feeling relieved.

He glanced in Su Youyu's direction and asked, "What about Luo Xianxian? Why isn't she in the Mingyue Imperial City?"

With Qin Xuan's current Divine Thought, it is enough to cover the entire Mingyue Imperial City.

He can detect the auras of Daughters of Luck like Wu Bingqing, Ning Waner, and Scarlet Thorn.

Only Luo Xianxian, whose aura is the strongest and who traveled thousands of miles from the Celestial God Clan to follow him, is missing.

She is not in the Mingyue Imperial City right now; where did she go?

Su Youyu shook her head, "I don't know either. Earlier, she seemed to receive a message from the Celestial God Clan and left on her own. She hasn't returned since."

"Oh, right! She left a one-time teleportation formation with me."

Suddenly remembering something, Su Youyu took out the item Luo Xianxian had left behind and crushed it on the spot.

Crack—

As the token shattered, a targeted teleportation formation appeared in Qin Xuan's residence.

Inside the teleportation formation, the figures of Luo Xianxian and the Great Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan gradually turned from illusory to solid.

Seeing Qin Xuan, Luo Xianxian suppressed her inner emotions, walked forward slowly, forced an extremely reluctant smile, and said, "Qin Xuan, because of your grace, over a hundred members of my Celestial God Clan have newly broken through to the Imperial Realm, causing my Celestial God Clan's strength to undergo a earth-shaking change. To express our gratitude, my Celestial God Clan has also prepared a big gift for you!"
