Granny Heavenly Voodoo was immersed in the chaotic void. Soon, the chaos separated and the scenery appeared. Images of the future flashed by.
These scenes were chaotic and complicated. Some were the future of a certain valley, and some were the future of an unknown mortal. And this future could be tomorrow, or it could be two hours later.
The massive information flow attacked Granny Heavenly Voodoo's primordial spirit. The veins on her forehead bulged and her temples swelled in pain.
Finally, after repeated selections and enduring the impact of the images of the future, she saw the answer she wanted.
The images shattered.
"Pfft …"
Granny Heavenly Voodoo's body tilted and fell onto the couch, blood spurting out of her mouth.
Her face was as pale as a sheet and her eyes were bleeding. Her lips trembled as she wailed in despair.
"Death of the Nine Prefectures …"
…
In the bedroom.
Huaiqing was wearing a silk robe and soaking in the cold water.
It was past dusk. No maids lit candles, so the room was dark. She closed her eyes and looked satisfied.
Even without the copper mirror, she knew her fair neck and chest were covered in hickeys and scratches. They were the marks left behind by a half-step Martial God mercilessly.
"Phew …"
She exhaled softly and all the marks on her skin disappeared, including her red buttocks and crotch. Her body was still fair and delicate.
After one round of dual cultivation, the Qi of the Dragon Vein in her body had been transferred to Xu Qi'an, including the thick fate that came with being the ruler of a country.
Huaiqing was not a Heaven's Mandate Master and could not see the fate of a country. However, she estimated that Daibun only had ten to twenty percent of its fate left.
The rest was gathered in Xu Qi'an's body.
The Yan, Kang, and Jing Kingdoms were destroyed because their fate was taken by the Sorcerer God. They were incorporated into the Central Plains and became part of Daibun.
Now that Daibun's fate was declining rapidly, it would face a disaster in the near future.
This was karma.
"A desperate man has nowhere to retreat!" Huaiqing leaned against the wall of the bathtub and murmured with a sigh.
She was betting, the Reverend was betting, and all the Extraordinary Masters of the Central Plains were betting. They were betting that Xu Qi 'an would become a Martial God, kill Transcendent Beings, and avert the calamity.
If he succeeded, the lost fate could be returned to Daibun. The people of the Nine Prefectures and the court would be reborn.
If he failed, the fate would be returned to Daibun.
At this time, small steps could be heard from outside. It was the returning palace maids.
When Huai Qing dismissed the palace maids, he instructed them not to approach the palace for two hours.
Now that the time was up, they came back to serve the Empress.
Huai Qing's ears twitched, but there was no response. He lay in the cold bathtub and narrowed his eyes, thinking about the situation.
When the palace maids entered the palace, the first thing they saw was the empress's undergarments scattered all over the floor. The luxurious red sandalwood imperial couch was in a mess.
It was worth mentioning that the Warrior who controlled Hua Jin knew how to unload the force. Therefore, no matter how unbridled they were in bed, the bed would not be in a mess.
If Zhong Li was there, it would be a different story.
The palace maids who didn't know the truth were confused. They had served the Empress for so long, from a princess to an emperor, but they had never seen her so sloppy.
The head palace maid looked around and ordered the maids to tidy up the clothes and make the bed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"
At this time, she heard the palace maid who was tidying the bed let out an "ah" and covered her mouth. She looked panicked.
The palace maid frowned and stared at the maid.
The maid pointed to the bed and didn't dare to speak.
The palace maid walked over and took a closer look. Her face turned pale.
It was one thing for the bed to be in a messy state, and it was also one thing for it to be covered with water stains, but the red stains were very eye-catching.
Even a fool would understand what had happened after connecting the dots with the surrounding situation.
"I'm taking a bath!"
Huaiqing's cold and sexy voice came from the bathroom, with a hint of laziness.
The palace maid signaled the maids to do their own things with her eyes. She put her hands on her abdomen, lowered her head, and walked to the bathroom.
During the process, her brain was working at a high speed, trying to guess who was the lucky person who was "visited" by the Empress.
To become the palace maid of the Empress, in addition to loyalty, wisdom was indispensable.
She immediately thought of the succession of the Empress that had been bothering the Empress recently. Based on the Empress's character, how could she return the throne to the son of the former emperor?
In the palace maid's view, the Empress would come to this step sooner or later.
What made her feel unusual was that the Empress was about to be married. All the young men in the world were waiting for her to choose. If she really liked one, she could bring him into the harem openly.
It wasn't the Empress's style to have an illicit affair without a proper title.
Thinking of the Empress's behavior of dismissing them … the palace maid immediately concluded that the man couldn't be seen in public.
Which man in the capital was loved by the Empress and couldn't be seen in public?
As a confidant who had served the Empress for many years, the first person she thought of was the Emperor's son-in-law, the husband of Princess Lin An.
Xu Yinluo.
This, this, how could the Empress be like this? What was the difference between a father occupying his daughter-in-law and a brother tyrannizing his younger brother's wife? If it was spread out, it would definitely shake the court. In the future, it would be difficult to escape the infamy of debauchery in history … The palace maid's heart beat faster. She walked to the bathtub, took a deep breath and said calmly,
"Shall I massage the Empress's shoulders?"
Huaiqing lazily replied with an "En". She was immersed in her own world, analyzing what to do next in this chess game of Jiuzhou.
At this time, a eunuch came to the bedroom and whispered a few words to the palace maid outside.
The palace maid walked back to the bedroom and stopped in front of the yellow silk curtain outside the bathroom. She whispered,
"Your Majesty, the Supervisor and Lord Song Qing want to see you."
…
In the Western Region.
Shen Shu, who was sitting cross-legged at the border, moved his ears. He heard the sound of a surging wave.
He immediately got up and with a light leap, he shot into the sky like a cannonball.
The place where he was just now was immediately engulfed by the dark red tide of flesh and blood. The surging wave of flesh and blood missed its target and scattered in all directions, covering the ground. Then, they collectively surged up and condensed into a blurry Buddha statue.
The feet of this Buddha statue were integrated into the flesh and blood and were one with the overwhelming "wave."
In the western sky, three streams of light whizzed over. They did not approach but watched from afar, waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
They were the three Bodhisattvas of Buddhism.
The Buddhist monks were living well in Alan Tuo, but other than the three Bodhisattvas, the Arhats and Vajras were either dead or betrayed. They seemed to be very weak.
After Shen Shu distanced himself, he stretched out his hand without changing his expression. Light danced and a black iron bow appeared in his hand.
This bow had a cool name — God Shooter Bow!
It was one of the Supervisor's creations. This bow could transform a Warrior's Qi into an arrow, increasing its penetrative and destructive power. When a Rank-3 Warrior wielded this bow, the power of the arrow would increase by half a rank.
Although this bow could not increase the power of a half-step Martial God by half a rank, it was still more powerful than a casual punch from Shen Shu.
The Supervisor had a small treasure vault in the Celestial Commissioner, where all the artifacts he crafted on a whim were stored. The Chaotic Life Hammer was one of the treasures in the vault.
Now that the Supervisor was gone, no, sealed, and Chu Caiwei was a person who believed in governing by doing nothing, the Supervisor's treasures had become something that Xu Qi 'an could squander as he pleased.
He was the one who lent this bow to Shen Shu.
Shen Shu slowly pulled the bowstring, Qi bursting from his fingers and condensing into an arrow on the string. The arrowhead created a cyclone that twisted the air.
A piece of paper slowly burned, turning into Light that condensed in the arrow.
The Buddha statue remained motionless as eight Dharma Forms appeared behind it. The Compassionate and Compassionate Dharma Forms chanted Buddhist scriptures as Buddhist light descended from the sky.
Bang!
The arrow transformed into a stream of light and shot Guangdong Bodhisattva the next moment. The young monk's upper body immediately exploded into a bloody mist.
…
Huai Qing, who was lying in the bathtub, opened his eyes. He subconsciously frowned and said indifferently,
She said indifferently, "Invite them to the imperial study."
After sending the palace maids away, she patted the hand of the palace maid on her shoulder. "Ya 'er, help me change."
Huaiqing quickly put on her regular clothes and tied her hair up with a golden crown. She led the palace maid, Ya 'er, out of the bedroom and walked to the imperial study.
The imperial study was lit by candlelight. Huaiqing came out from the side and scanned the hall. Apart from the yellow-dressed girl, Chu Caiwei, the time management master, Song Qing, and the dispirited Granny Heaven Gu were there.
"Granny, why are you in the capital?"
Huaiqing scrutinized Granny Heaven Gu's expression and turned to instruct Ya 'er.
"Go get some nourishing pills."
She realized that something might have happened.
Granny Heavenly Gu waved her hand and said anxiously,
"There's no need to trouble yourself. Your Majesty, where is Xu Yinlou?"
"He went to Thunder Prefecture," Huaiqing said. "Granny, you can tell me directly."
"What's the point of telling you!?"
Upon hearing that Xu Qi 'an had gone to Thunder Prefecture, Granny Heaven Gu's tone became even more anxious. She ignored the fact that the other party was Emperor Daibun.
"Quickly send a letter and get him to rush back to the capital. I have something urgent to inform Xu Yinluo."
