At noon the next day.
At the same time, in the sky above the Central Imperial City, a looming green figure emerged.
It was better to swear loyalty to Zhao Qianying than to lose their lives.
Under the leadership of Long Yi, the people of the Long Family bowed to the green figure and immediately left.
Liu Ming shook his head, and his fluctuating emotions instantly calmed down.
The black figure let out a shrill laugh, opened its mouth and swallowed Huangfu Wukui's blood essence. The black figure was immediately stained with a strange layer of blood red.
Zhao Qianying looked around the empty hall and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
The mother and daughter were afraid that if they let go, the figure would suddenly disappear again.
After a quarter of an hour, everything was over.
Looking at the reunion of Zhao Qianying and her daughter, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Okay, you can go." As the green light figure said, he raised one hand, and the bright red demonic shadow in the air cackled a few times, then it disappeared in a flash.
At this moment, the figure of an ordinary man in a green robe emerged a few feet behind Zhao Qianying. It was Liu Ming.
Huangfu Wukui's body trembled, and a soul-tearing pain burst out from his head, but then it returned to its original state.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in her heart, and then she immediately shook her head.
As soon as the voice fell, the four looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
"Peng!"
"Good child, good Ying 'er." Zhao Hui's eyes glistened with tears, and her arms tightly hugged Zhao Qianying, as if she was afraid to let go.
"Mother!" After a long time, Zhao Qianying finally let out a sobbing cry. She rushed forward and threw herself into Zhao Hui's open arms.
Seeing the patriarch like this, Long Yinchan and more than ten other Celestial Phenomenon Realm clansmen also stepped forward to swear.
Long Yi's face changed for a while.
This burden could not be said to be light.
"Now, drop your blood essence into this Impermanence Specter, and swear on your inner demons that you will be absolutely loyal to Huangfu Qianying from now on," the figure of blue light said indifferently.
This was an ancient blood oath of the Myriad Demon Continent. Rather than saying it was an oath, it was more accurate to say that it was a contract to sell one's body. Once the oath was made, a wisp of one's soul would be devoured. From then on, one's life and death would be completely controlled by the other party.
During this time, Zhao Qianying also invoked her arts to activate the Void Demon Cauldron, sucking in the surrounding Devil Stallion Guards and their injured leaders.
This caused Liu Ming to feel a sense of loss for no reason, but he naturally did not show it on his face.
His position had changed, and he had many more things to worry about. Naturally, he couldn't be as carefree and willful as before.
Without hesitation, he spat out a mouthful of lifeblood essence and flew towards the black shadow.
Zhao Hui lightly landed on the ground and looked at Zhao Qianying with a faint trace of tears in her eyes.
Zhao Qianying's body suddenly shook. The voice that entered her ears was completely different from the voice of the figure of blue light. It gave her a very familiar feeling.
"Your ending should have been the same as Huangfu Zhantian, but your choice saved you," the figure of blue light said indifferently.
But soon, Zhao Qianying temporarily put the doubts in her heart behind her head and tightly held her mother's hands. At this moment, there was nothing else in her heart except for her mother.
"It seems that you have made your choice. This is good, I can save a lot of trouble." Seeing that no one stepped forward, the figure of blue light couldn't help but snort coldly.
"I am Huangfu Wukui, and I am willing to swear!" A low voice sounded. It was Huangfu Wukui, the middle-aged man in a black robe who was originally standing the furthest away. His figure flickered and landed in front of the black shadow.
In these years, his cultivation had undergone earth-shattering changes.
"I just happened to do it, it's not worth mentioning." Liu Ming smiled faintly and shook his head.
Long Yi sighed and a trace of a bitter smile flashed across his face. He walked forward and, like Huangfu Wukui, made an oath that the Long Family would never dare to rebel against the Central Dynasty in the future.
…
"Thank you for your help today. I wonder if you can tell me your name. I will definitely remember it." Zhao Qianying calmed herself down and walked in front of the figure of blue light. She bowed to the figure of blue light.
At the same time, the figure of blue light waved his other hand in the air, and suddenly an invisible force rippled out.
He took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the figure of blue light.
At this moment, a light breeze appeared behind her, and the door slowly closed. Then, with a soft "pu" sound, all the ancient lamps in the hall lit up at the same time.
Although Zhao Qianying's appearance didn't change much, her demeanor and behavior were a little less shy than before. She had more responsibility for the Central Dynasty and even for her family.
Liu Ming secretly sighed in his heart.
The naive and straightforward Zhao Qianying had become the past. The current Zhao Qianying was already Huangfu Qianying, the master of the Huangfu Family, the current Demon Empress of the Central Dynasty that ruled the entire Demon Continent.
She glanced at the figure of blue light, and her face slightly blushed. She lowered her head and gently wiped away the tears in her eyes.
As soon as she finished speaking, thunder roared around her, and countless electric arcs intertwined all over her body.
This scene naturally made the hearts of everyone present shake violently again. The depression that they had just made an oath suddenly disappeared.
Zhao Qianying seemed to feel something and suddenly turned around. When she saw Liu Ming's figure, her cheeks suddenly flew into a slight blush, and she softly murmured, "Liu Ming, I'm going to kill you."
In the blink of an eye, only the figure of blue light and Zhao Qianying were left in the hall.
The black phantom was faintly discernible, and it looked like the projection of evil spirits from the Underworld. Faint mournful ghost cries could be heard, and a gloomy energy twined around it, giving off a gloomy and strange feeling.
After that, the figure of blue light flashed, and his figure disappeared without a trace.
The figure of blue light seemed to look at Zhao Qianying from head to toe, but did not say a word.
The figure of blue light turned to look at the people of the Long Family and said coldly, "Next, it's your turn. Do you want to swear an oath, or die?"
The entire hall became abnormally quiet again.
Huangfu Wukui cupped his hands at Zhao Qianying, and did not say anything, and also walked out.
Zhao Qianying looked at the purple-robed woman in front of her, and was stunned at first. Then, her mouth slightly opened, and her body completely stiffened.
For cultivators like them, a few hundred years was actually just a blink of an eye.
"If Miss Zhao is free, we'll meet in the Heartless Hall tomorrow at noon," a faint voice sounded in Zhao Qianying's ears, and then disappeared without a trace.
He looked around at the huge, bustling hexagonal city below, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.
Then, a series of footsteps slowly walked into the hall, and it turned out to be a beautiful girl dressed in an exquisite purple robe. Her beautiful eyes were clear, and her skin was whiter than snow. Her purple hair flowed like a waterfall down to her waist.
"It's been a long time."
Others might not be familiar with the Impermanence Specter, but as a Tongxuan realm cultivator, he knew her very well.
The black curtain of light that enveloped the entire hall immediately shattered into pieces.
"It's all thanks to Brother Liu's help yesterday. Otherwise, the power of the Central Dynasty would have fallen into the hands of others. Furthermore, it's also thanks to Brother Liu that I was able to reunite with my mother. Qianying sincerely thanks Brother Liu for his great kindness, "Zhao Qianying cupped her hands at Liu Ming and bowed.
At this moment, the Heartless Hall was still empty, and there was not a single person in sight.
After a moment of silence, it was Zhao Qianying who broke the silence first, "Brother Liu, please forgive me for asking, but your current cultivation … what level has it reached?"
As the hall door slowly opened, a ray of warm sunlight shone in, and the furnishings in the hall became clearer.
"Yes, I didn't expect that five hundred years would pass in the blink of an eye." Liu Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he could not help but sigh softly.
Just when Zhao Qianying was at a loss of what to do, the figure of green light suddenly waved his hand, and the void in front of him flashed, and the figure of a purple-robed young woman appeared out of thin air. It was Zhao Hui.
As soon as he finished his oath, the black shadow opened its mouth and spat out an extremely faint black light, which disappeared into the space between Huangfu Wukui's eyebrows in a flash.
Although the two were standing opposite each other at this moment, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them, and it seemed that both of them wanted to say something but were hesitant.
"I, Huangfu Wukui, hereby swear that from today onwards, I will wholeheartedly follow Your Majesty, Huangfu Qianying. If I have any other thoughts, I am willing to suffer the pain of ten thousand ghosts devouring my heart, and my soul will be destroyed, and I will never be able to transcend!" Huangfu Wukui said loudly.
However, when she raised her head again, Liu Ming's figure had disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Qianying finally calmed her emotions and raised her head from Zhao Hui's arms, but she still held her mother's hand tightly, for fear that she would leave her again.
For him, this kind of kinship was also within his reach not long ago. Now, although his cultivation was high and had even reached the peak of this world, he was still helpless about some things.
Hearing this, everyone's face changed, especially the people of the Long Family. They all looked at Long Yi in unison.
The figure wrapped in green light was naturally Liu Ming. It was not convenient for him to show himself at this moment, so he had already used this concealment method to cover his appearance and aura.
This was a kind of helplessness.
She seemed to have deliberately dressed up. She did not wear the Demon Emperor's costume, but restored the clothes of the past. However, perhaps because of the difference in identity, it made her pure naturally mixed with a bit of a mature temperament.
After the figure in the green light finished speaking, a low incantation was heard. The void of the hall fluctuated, and nine balls of black light appeared out of thin air. After a while, they condensed and transformed into a black shadow.
"It can't be him. Although he was powerful in the past, he was after all only in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and so many years have passed …" Zhao Qianying secretly sighed in her heart.
When Zhao Qianying heard this, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes for some reason, but she immediately returned to calmness.
Zhao Qianying looked at the figure in the green light with some surprise, but she did not say anything.
Heart Hall.
Huangfu Wukui heard this, turned around and cupped his hands at Zhao Qianying, then walked to the side silently.
This woman was Zhao Qianying.
