A Good Romance

The Empress humphed softly. Her palms flipped, and multiple power of Regulations shot out from her jade-like palms. She herself also turned into the flow of time, one moment in the past, the next moment in the future, so strange that it was impossible to capture.
The strength of the woman in red had been greatly boosted under the effects of the Red Devil Soil, and because of the Red Devil Soil, she was close to the level of being untouchable by all techniques. Thus, it was very difficult for the Empress's Regulations of Time to affect her, but there was no difficulty in using them on herself.
The two of them exchanged blows. Regulations of Time lived up to their reputation as the highest level, and were also the main Regulations of any plane, so they were incomparably powerful. In the entire battlefield, it was the Empress who was suppressing the woman in red, and the woman in red's counterattacks were all useless, unable to hit her at all.
The defeat of the woman in red was only a matter of time, and it would not be long.
"Humph, you actually dare to come to our North Blue Faction to act violently, how audacious!" With a long shout, two men arrived together, both of their expressions carrying powerful pride.
However, when they saw that the woman in red's hair was disheveled, and her fine black hair had turned gray, they both paled in shock.
Was this still their Nineteenth Junior Sister who loved beauty as much as her life?
"Nineteenth Junior Sister, how did you …"
"Let me help you!"
The two men charged out at practically the same time, but Bewitching Maiden Rou humphed softly, and moved to block them. She angrily rebuked the two of them, "Stand down!"
She was proficient in the path of bewitching, but she walked the path of a ruler, making others submit, worship, and revere her, and not the kind that would arouse others' lust. Otherwise, Ling Han would not have tacitly acknowledged her existence.
With this shout, the two men looked dazed. Their gazes towards Bewitching Maiden Rou were at first confused, and then fervent, as if they had met their benefactor of nine lifetimes, wanting nothing more than to kneel down and worship her, offering their lives without hesitation.
Shen Hao's gaze involuntarily froze. These two were both his junior brothers, and their strength had long since reached the peak stage of the Ascending Origin Tier, but that woman was only so-so, yet she had directly knelt down without a single move. This was completely unacceptable to him.
The two men retreated as ordered, yet their eyes were fervently fixed on Bewitching Maiden Rou. They only had to wait for an order from her, and they would do anything for her.
The woman in red almost vomited blood. Didn't the two of you say you were going to help me? Where are you now?
In a moment of distraction, she was instantly struck by the Empress's series of attacks. The Heaven Destroying Nine Swords slashed out, and her whole body was drenched in blood. Her clothes were also torn in several places, and she was in an extremely sorry state.
The Empress didn't back down after gaining the upper hand. She lightly raised her slender hand, and another gust of wind shot out from her finger. This gust of wind transformed into a frightening Sword Qi, and was going to slay the red-robed woman.
"Have mercy!" Shen Hao hurriedly moved. No matter how lazy he was, he couldn't just watch as his junior apprentice-sister was killed.
Peng, he blocked this attack, and a shocking flush instantly appeared on his originally fair and clean face. It was as if he was drunk. This was because the Empress's Sword Qi was too powerful. Though he had dispelled it, it had shaken his Qi and blood, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face paled in shock. Previously, he had only known that the Empress was very strong, but after receiving this attack, he finally experienced it for himself. No wonder his junior sister was still suppressed by the Empress even after eating two mouthfuls of Red Demonic Soil.
The Empress's eyes sharpened, exuding an endlessly domineering aura.
She wanted to kill a traitor, and there was actually someone who dared to stand in her way, so she would kill them as well.
Ling Han smiled, and said, "Wife, stop for a moment." He, Shen Hao, was not a bad person, so it would be a pity if he died.
Only then did the Empress give up on the idea. She clasped her hands behind her back, her imperial might and domineering aura spreading out.
Bewitching Maiden Rou also giggled, and retreated.
Only then did those two men seem to have woken up from a dream. They exchanged a look, and could both see the intense shock and lingering fear in each other's eyes.
If Bewitching Maiden Rou had told them to kill each other just then, they definitely would have carried it out without hesitation. Now, it was uncertain whether they would live or die.
When they thought that their lives had been so easily controlled by another, their hearts contracted intensely.
Ling Han had just heard those two mention the "Cangbei Faction", and asked Shen Hao, "You two are the disciples of the Celestial King Cangbei?"
The red-clothed woman caught her breath, and shouted at Ling Han, "Do you two know fear now?"
Ling Han walked towards the red-clothed woman, his eyes clear and calm, but there was a naturally oppressive aura that caused the red-clothed woman to feel as if a large rock was pressing down on her chest. Even breathing was difficult, and her complexion instantly became pale.
"You're asking for a beating!" He moved. Pa, a slap flew over from a distance. His hand rose, and the force behind it had already arrived. With a crisp sound, the red-clothed woman suddenly staggered in retreat. She opened her mouth, and spat out a few broken teeth and fresh blood.
"Brother Ling, though this junior sister of mine speaks fiercely, she actually does not have any ill intentions. Please show mercy," Shen Hao hurriedly advised, but he was even more shocked in his heart.
This group of four were all powerful, and were completely different from the outsiders that they had imagined.
Only now did Ling Han withdraw his gaze, and turned towards Shen Hao with a smile, and said, "You two are claiming territory, and planning to forcibly take over that Celestial Tree inside?"
"This is the territory of our Blue North bloodline, so the Celestial Tree naturally belongs to us!" One of the men that had been bewitched by Bewitching Maiden Rou previously immediately declared to Ling Han.
Ling Han chuckled. "Are you playing with me?"
"Who is playing with you?" That man flew into a rage out of humiliation. He was not a three-year-old child.
Ling Han waved his fist. "The treasures of heaven and earth naturally belong to the person with the biggest fist. I feel that my fist is the biggest. Is there anyone among you who is not convinced?"
That man wanted to say something, but his mouth moved, yet he could not say a single word.
Ling Han's group was too powerful. He and his companion had not even been able to exchange a single move before they had directly knelt down. Now, they did not have the slightest bit of confidence at all.
"Brother Ling, even if you chase us away, it is useless." Shen Hao, however, shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Ling Han walked over.
"Did you see that this mountain fog can prevent people from entering?" Shen Hao pointed at the mountain valley that was surging with fog. "This is the first layer of protection, and after entering, the path is also very dangerous. The closer you get to the Celestial Tree, the harder it is to approach. Though we have occupied this place, in reality, none of us have actually approached that Celestial Tree. "
Ling Han nodded. "I know that."
If it was only occupied by others, then it would not be so difficult to obtain the Celestial Seed, because there was always a possibility that it could be obtained by others.
"Furthermore, the most difficult obstacle is the Celestial Tree itself," Shen Hao continued. "I have also heard others say that the Celestial Tree possesses an astonishing ability to escape, and no power can restrain it. If it is not willing to give the Celestial Fruit to you, even a Celestial King would be helpless."
Ling Han naturally would not waver in his determination just because the other had said these few words. He asked Shen Hao in detail, and very soon, he had a further understanding of this Celestial Tree.
Where did the fragments of the Celestial Seed come from?
It was the pollen that fell from this Celestial Tree when it bloomed, or the fragrance of its fruits when they were growing, that drifted with the wind and could be obtained by others.
Shen Hao and the others had stayed here for two reasons. First, they wanted to obtain a complete Celestial Seed, but this was too difficult, so they had to settle for second best. They wanted to obtain some of the remnant fruits and leaves that had fallen from the Celestial Tree. Many a little makes a mickle, and even the incomplete Celestial Seed could be pieced together into a complete one.
