Chapter 888: Chapter 783: Who Is Pulling the Strings_2
Zhao Changhe said, “But the upcoming battle will be far more perilous than this one. After all, this fight was rely to engage him, not to fight to the death.”
Li Shentong chuckled, “You don’t even ask about your own woman, yet you care about ?”
“…” Zhao Changhe replied, “I am of one mind and heart with them; there’s no need to ask.”
Li Shentong smiled, “I don’t need to ask either. If I were to say sothing, there’s one thing I want to ntion.”
Zhao Changhe paused, “Sect Master Li, please go ahead.”
Li Shentong replied casually, “I can’t handle the education initiative in Ba Shu; if you have the heart for it, do it yourself.”
Ba Shu hasn’t submitted yet, so how should I do it myself?
Zhao Changhe pondered the aning behind these words without further elaboration and simply bowed, “Alright.”
No more words were exchanged as their figures flickered and they arrived atop the Holy Mountain, hundreds of miles away.
Below was a majestic Divine Hall. Looking down from above, one could see chaos inside and outside the hall, as if everyone had heard the news of Bo’e’s defeat on the front lines.
But Bo’e’s defeated army was still being pursued halfway back; they hadn’t returned yet…
“This Heavenly God is a bit selfish…” Yue Hongling murmured.
Indeed, he could have rallied the defeated troops on the way back, saving the heavily wounded Bo’e at least. Yue Hongling and Huangfu Qing’s Divine Sense had followed closely, intending to intervene at any mont to prevent the pursuing Han army from failing.
As it turned out, it was completely unnecessary… The Longevity Heaven God, worried about wasting ti being captured by them, actually sat and watched the defeat along the way, just to return to the Divine Hall sooner.
Zhao Changhe said, “In my years of experience, they all seem a bit selfish… The Sea Emperor’s protection of the sea folk is rely to gather Power of Faith, and the Tao Venerable drives Yuxu seniors to spread the Dao, also for such reasons… Longevity Heaven’s protection of the grassland is the sa. In their eyes, all beings are like ants, rely tools to provide them nourishnt; any fleeting care is a grace.”
Huangfu Qing looked up at the sky, the twilight nearing as red clouds appeared at the horizon, yet no stars were visible.
She whispered, “Is the Emperor Ye the sa?”
Zhao Changhe hesitated, then smiled, “If there’s a god who is different, besides Piaomiao who represents the Qi Veins of the mountains and rivers, it’s the Emperor Ye who is still better.”
Huangfu Qing was extrely surprised, “You… how do you know?”
“If I’m not mistaken, after the epoch collapsed, the Heavenly Realm scattered, yet the mortal world was intact… This credit belongs jointly to the Emperor Ye and Piaomiao, and they paid a great price for it.” Zhao Changhe paused and added, “Just for this reason alone, whatever else Emperor Ye may have done… I can forgive.”
Those present listened with so side glances; Emperor Ye doesn’t need your forgiveness… Moreover, never heard of anything bad she did, anything needing forgiveness…
Besides, now you’ve replaced the Emperor Ye, and there’s been no reaction from her; she’s probably dead…
High above Hangu Pass, the sisters of the Ye Family had been silently facing each other for several days, not saying a word. Until now, Ye Jiuyou suddenly laughed, saying, “Oh, he forgives you.”
The blind one remained expressionless.
“Though it has a child-like feeling of pointing at an adult saying I forgive you, isn’t it kind of cute?” Ye Jiuyou winked, “No wonder our Lord Emperor Ye isn’t angry even after hearing it.”
The blind one finally responded, “Why should I be angry over such childish words?”
Ye Jiuyou laughed, “He took the position of Emperor Ye, seized your faith and Qi Veins, gathered your followers… Oh, even got them to the bed, and you’re not angry.”
The blind one said, “Emperor Ye is just a path I’ve abandoned; I’ve moved past it, why should I look back?”
“So you let him look back?”
The blind one did not answer but instead asked, “In our previous wager, it seems you’re about to lose, yet you’re here flaunting to cover your insecurity?”
Ye Jiuyou looked down, observing the assault from Hangu, with shouts of battle echoing across the land.
This was a battle that would drag on for ages; the only variable was when the Desolate Calamity would recover; for now, there was nothing much to see.
Gazing southward, Ye Jiuyou narrowed her eyes slightly.
Before this, she hadn’t expected that Spirit Clan Queen to have the ability to resist Yin Kui’s Corpse Puppet.
That was an Imperial Realm Corpse Puppet and, due to Yin Kui’s expertise in the power of Yin Corpses, his body transford into a Corpse Puppet was far more effective than others, retaining much of his past consciousness.
Even if Sisi was prepared, even if she brought her young Blood Turtle Holy Beasts, how could she possibly defeat Yin Kui?
Yet the fact was, Yin Kui was almost defenseless against Sisi.
It was a strange Secret Technique of drawing beast spirits into the body. After using this Secret Technique, the people of the Spirit Clan were like human-shaped Blood Turtles. Sisi herself might not withstand even a single round with Yin Kui in normal cultivation, but after using the Secret Technique, she could hold her own, and with the assistance of other Exotic Beasts, various Elders and protectors flinging Secret Techniques, Yin Kui couldn’t withstand the assault…
This kind of Secret Technique that defied the norms of cultivation… No wonder the entire Spirit Clan needed to be isolated from this land; they didn’t belong here.
Moreover, with the life and death forces Zhao Changhe had deliberately studied within the Spirit Clan, all the Spirit Clan’s weapons were specially coated, specifically effective against Yin Corpse bodies, severing the cycle of life and death. The Corpse Puppets, once unkillable, fell to the Spirit Clan soldiers with just a re scratch…
Ye Jiuyou most wanted to assist with this battle; it was her area of expertise and she could easily reverse the situation. Unfortunately, Ye Wuming stood in her way, stopping her from going anywhere. Even being able to watch, perhaps it was Ye Wuming’s leniency, specifically allowing her to see.
