"Young Empress, don't force me! Although the Young Emperor has a respectable status, I know that the Young Emperor's power is not even comparable to that of an ordinary demon. Now, the Young Emperor is only five steps away from me. At this distance, even the Great Emperor would not be able to stop me from taking the Young Emperor's life! " The black figure gritted his teeth. His aura was extremely unstable, as though he would attack at any moment.
"If that is the case, why aren't you attacking?" Yun Qingwu asked calmly.
"Young Empress … do you really not want to live?"
"I am not afraid of death, but I don't like to seek death either. You can leave now. Then, announce your crimes to the entire Monster Race. Finally, atone for your crimes with your death!" Yun Qingwu shook her head. Then, she looked up at the clouds in the sky and ignored the black figure in front of her.
This scene undoubtedly caused the black figure's body to tremble once again. He looked at Yun Qingwu with a demonic gaze and an expression of extreme disbelief appeared in his eyes.
This was because he clearly had the upper hand. Moreover, he had already threatened Yun Qingwu. However, for some reason, he felt as though he was being controlled by Yun Qingwu.
Why was this happening?
The black figure could not understand. With his powers as a Monster King, he could kill Yun Qingwu with just a flick of his finger. Then, he could find an excuse to escape.
For example, a disciple of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain had suddenly returned and he could not protect Yun Qingwu in time. Such excuses were not difficult to come up with.
However, he could not do anything.
It was very strange!
Furthermore, he was sure that the reason he did not do anything was not because of Yun Qingwu's status as the Young Empress of the Monster Race. On the contrary, a Young Empress with only half of the Monster Race's bloodline was a joke.
For the past 20 years, all of the Monster Race knew that Monster Emperor Baizhi and Emperor Yun of the Demon Race had a daughter. However, none of the Monster Race had taken Yun Qingwu seriously.
Until …
When Yun Qingwu entered the Great Swamp with more than ten Demons, the Monster Race finally remembered that there was a Young Empress in the Monster Race.
It was ridiculous.
What was even more ridiculous was that this Young Emperor did not possess the Demon Clan's powerful physique and innate powers. He did not even possess the characteristics of the Demon Clan.
Of course, another thing that made them want to laugh was that Yun Qingwu did not have the characteristics of the Monster Race, nor did she have the characteristics of the Demon Race.
There were no Demon Eyes!
But he was collectively called Young Lord by the Devil Race!
How ridiculous was that?
When Yun Qingwu appeared in front of the monsters, all of them half-knelt on the ground. However, all of them were laughing coldly in their hearts.
However, this Young Empress, who made them sneer at him, managed to convince the cold Monster Emperor Baizhi on the first day they arrived at the Great Swamp. Furthermore, with the powers of five Monster Kings, they managed to take down one of the five sects of the Holy Region, the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, which the Monster Race had been struggling to shake for ten years.
On the surface, it seemed like luck.
However, all the monsters knew that this was not the case. That was because Yun Qingwu had predicted everything that was going to happen three months ago.
Three months!
Yun Qingwu had only led the troops to strike once, and that strike had succeeded.
This could be considered a miracle. Because, if the timing had been slightly wrong, if they had come earlier or later by even a day, they would not have had this kind of success.
Plop! The black figure finally knelt down again. This time, he did not half-kneel. Instead, he knelt on both knees and his body was completely prostrated on the ground.
"Young Empress, do you really have to kill me?"
"Yes." Yun Qingwu did not retract her gaze. She merely nodded her head and replied.
"Why? At this critical juncture, why won't the Young Empress show mercy? Why must you kill me? I'm a Demon King … "The black shadow clearly did not understand.
"The war is imminent. Killing a Monster King is equivalent to cutting off one of your fingers. However, this finger can allow the Monster Race to reunite once again and reach the stage of obedience. Only by obedience can we win this war." Yun Qingwu said calmly.
"Obey orders? Obey orders … I understand, I understand now. The Monster Race has been living in the Great Swamp for too long. They have been living too comfortably. Even though they still hate us, they are no longer the same as before. That's right, the Young Empress is right! Only the death of this subordinate can make them wake up again! "The black shadow finally came to his senses when he heard this.
"When the war is over, I will personally carve your name on the list of the Monster Race warriors who have sacrificed themselves!" When Yun Qingwu heard this, she finally retracted her gaze and looked at the black figure lying on the ground in front of her. There was a faint glow in her eyes.
"Thank you, Young Empress! I have one more wish! "
"I will avenge you. I will also personally bring the person who killed your son to the Great Swamp and place him in front of your son's tombstone." Yun Qingwu nodded her head.
"In that case, I will thank the Young Empress on behalf of my son. I will … take my leave!" The black figure said as he slowly stood up from the ground.
"Mm." Yun Qingwu nodded her head again.
The black figure did not say anything else. He turned around slowly and looked in front of him with a demonic gaze. He looked extremely determined. However, he stopped after taking a step forward and bit his lips. After a while, he turned back to look at Yun Qingwu, who was standing on the gigantic black rock.
"Young Empress, can you really lead the Monster Race back to its former glory?"
"There are some questions that even I don't know the answers to. However, are you willing to let the Monster Race stay in the Great Swamp forever and never see sunlight?" Yun Qingwu did not answer the black figure's question directly. Instead, she asked him a question.
"Monsters consume the essence of heaven and earth and absorb the light of the sun and moon. If I can't see sunlight … I understand. I will die without regrets if I can sacrifice myself for the future of the Monster Race!" The black figure did not hesitate any longer. He walked towards the group of black figures gathered at the entrance of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
"Can a Monster that can't see sunlight still be called a Monster?" Yun Qingwu looked at the black figure in the distance, then at the rising sun in the sky. A look of confusion flashed across her face. However, this confusion quickly turned into determination.
"The winner takes it all!"
"Is it right or wrong?"
"It's always the winner who gets to speak!"
A soft voice rang out from the black rock. Yun Qingwu clenched her fists tightly. The mountain breeze blew and her white dress danced in the wind.
...
Holy Region, Ling Yun Tower.
The morning sun had already completely risen. Bright sunlight shone down from the horizon, illuminating the emerald green. Drops of dew that had yet to dry shimmered under the illumination of the sun.
More than ten women in green dresses lay on the ground in front of Ling Yun Tower. They were all severely injured and their blood stained the spring scenery.
Green Jade's eyes were closed.
Two white-robed women stood beside Green Jade. They held their longswords tightly in their hands. The light in their eyes was extremely fierce. It was obvious that they were extremely resentful.
Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, frowned and gripped his Traceless Sword tightly.
He was not afraid of the five women who had appeared by Cang Yue's side. In fact, he did not even look at the five women. His gaze had always been on Lin Mubai.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was now lying on the ground. His face was as white as a sheet and he looked as though he could die at any moment.
However, until now...
The so-called Yu 'er still hadn't appeared.
Fang Zhengzhi was infuriated. Even though all of this was just his guess and he had yet to confirm Yu Er's identity, he knew very well how terrifying faith could be. He could also vaguely sense that Ling Yun Tower was a place where faith like Heartless gathered.
Otherwise, Green Jade would not have died so willingly.
A woman's emotions were much more intense than a man's. Since ancient times, there have been many stories of women waiting for each other for love.
Meng Jiangnu, who cried and collapsed the Great Wall in his previous life, and Gan Jiang and Mo Xie in the myths, were all stories of unspeakable love.
Of course, there were also stories of love turning into hatred and infatuation. Therefore, although women were loyal to their relationships, they were more likely to be hurt by love than men.
Cultivating in this way would naturally fill one's heart with hatred and anger. It could even lead to a breakthrough in a state of extreme sadness.
Falling in love, severing love, and finally being merciless.
Fang Zhengzhi had only heard of this before. However, he still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it with his own eyes.
He did not know what other people thought, but in his heart, emotions were sacred. Friendship, love, and kinship were the most precious treasures in the world.
But for Ling Yun Tower to cultivate using emotions …
To Fang Zhengzhi, this was the Evil Dao!
Of course, this was everyone's freedom and Fang Zhengzhi had no right to interfere in this matter. However, he hoped that Ping Yang would not be sacrificed in this matter.
She was born because someone fell in love with her. Then, she was abandoned because of someone else's severing love. Now, she was even hurt because of someone else's mercilessness. She was like a piece of 'trash' produced during cultivation. Fang Zhengzhi was furious.
He was not angry that Ling Yun Tower used faith to control their disciples. He was angry that Ling Yun Tower, one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, a sacred place that countless talents yearned for. How could the leader of Ling Yun Tower, one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, trample on emotions like this?
Perhaps this reason was a little ridiculous.
However, no matter what, he wanted to uphold this bottom line.
"Fang Zhengzhi, if … if I never get to see Yu Er again, you … bury my corpse at the entrance of Ling Yun Tower. That way, after I die …" Lin Mubai's voice rang out once again, as if he was not affected by Cang Yue's insults.
"Father, don't die! I don't want you to die. Oh yes, mother will save you. If she can save me, she can definitely save father too … "Ping Yang's eyes were filled with tears.
In Ping Yang's eyes, her father, who had doted on her since she was young, was like a mountain that protected her. How could she hold back her tears now that the mountain had collapsed?
"Hahaha … Wishful thinking, wishful thinking! Lin Mubai, I advise you to give up. Master has never liked you. She didn't in the past, and it's impossible now! " Cang Yue's voice rang out again. Her voice sounded menacing in front of Ling Yun Tower, which reeked of blood.
"No, Yu Er is true to me!" Lin Mubai's expression finally changed at this moment. His pale face inexplicably became rosy, and his expression became even more resolute.
Fang Zhengzhi tightened his grip on his Traceless Sword.
He did not know what had happened between Lin Mubai and Yu Er, nor did he know why Lin Mubai, an emperor, was so sure.
However, there was one thing that he knew.
Whether it was for Ping Yang or to fulfill Lin Mubai's wish, Yu Er was his only hope. In that case, he had to do it. After all, the appearance of Cang Yue and the five women represented Fang Zhengzhi's predicament. It was a dead end, a dead end with no way out.
Kill them?
Fang Zhengzhi slowly raised his head and looked at Ling Yun Tower. The top of Ling Yun Tower shone with golden light under the sunlight.
In fact, before he came here, he did not think that Yu Er could be the leader of Ling Yun Tower. It was something that he had never thought about.
Ling Yun Tower?
This was a place that was filled with mysteries.
Every time someone appeared, they would be stronger than the last. Their understanding of Dao had reached an unprecedented level. Although Fang Zhengzhi did not enter the tower, he was already in deep trouble.
It could be said that the difficulty of this trip to Ling Yun Tower was much higher than Fang Zhengzhi had imagined.
Originally, Fang Zhengzhi's plan was to force the leader of Ling Yun Tower to appear first. Then, he would argue with her. Both parties would sit together, drink tea, and talk about life. After all, there was no such thing as a grudge that could not be resolved.
But now …
Looking at Ling Yun Tower, Fang Zhengzhi felt that this was a little too difficult!
Most importantly, after thinking about Yu Er's true identity, Fang Zhengzhi knew that this was no longer a simple grudge. It was a fight to the death.
It was just like a student saying that the headmistress had a big round face and was as ugly as a demon. Only a true brave warrior would understand how exhilarating such a statement was.
"Yu Er, you big round face and ugly demon woman. Are you really going to stay in Ling Yun Tower forever and be a coward?" Fang Zhengzhi was a true brave warrior. He was brave enough to face challenges head-on. Therefore, he had no choice but to go all out.
