Time seemed to freeze in the entirety of Violet Smoke City for a moment. The clamor died down in an instant. The entire city was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Then came the clamor once more. This time, however, it was a cacophony of exclamations mixed together!
"Empress Violet Smoke!"
"Empress Violet Smoke has emerged!"
"Heavens, did I hear that right? Is that really her?"
"It's been so many years …" An elder couldn't hold back his tears.
Chu Mo was utterly confused. He didn't understand why Empress Violet Smoke had such prestige in the city. However, he knew that it was this Purple Smoke Empress who had scared Zhuge Lang away!
As for the telepathic communication between the two parties, no one else knew about it except for the two involved.
Everyone, including Chu Mo, only saw the jade-white hand rise from the city and slap toward a certain spot in the sky. Many didn't even see the person who'd been slapped away.
It was simply too fast!
Even Chu Mo only saw a blur.
Zhuge Lang wasn't seriously injured, but he still couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His dark, unfathomable eyes shone with venomous light. He looked in the direction of Violet Smoke City and growled, "Empress Violet Smoke, the next time I return will be the day your city falls!"
His voice rumbled as if it was a law.
It was a vow, a vow of a Empress realm powerhouse. All sorts of strange phenomena appeared in the sky.
"If that's the case, then don't leave." The woman's icy voice rang out. The jade-white hand appeared high in the sky once more. Her fingers formed a sword and stabbed toward the faraway Zhuge Lang.
This time, Chu Mo could see clearly that it was a woman's hand. But it was so huge that each finger was like a pillar that supported the heavens. It would've been beautiful if it'd been shrunk to normal size. But looking at it now, one could only feel boundless shock in their hearts.
Is this the true strength of a Empress? Chu Mo wondered.
Zhuge Lang immediately fled after uttering those words. He must have used an escape artifact, as his speed was unbelievably fast. He turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the void.
However, he was still struck by the power of the finger, and he coughed up a mouthful of essence blood. That essence blood was like a river that descended from the sky. Like a rainbow.
Rumble!
The river of blood fell a million kilometers away from Violet Smoke City, destroying mountains and rivers and turning them into a lake of blood.
Zhuge Lang let out an earth-shattering roar, and then his figure completely disappeared.
Purple Smoke City was deathly silent this time.
A long while later, someone shouted: "Empress Violet Smoke is invincible!"
Everyone roared in unison, "Empress Violet Smoke is invincible!"
His voice shook the sky.
Chu Mo's heart was also filled with shock. At the same time, he felt gratitude towards Empress Violet Smoke.
Although the Empress might not know who she was protecting, Chu Mo's heart was still filled with gratitude. If not for her, Zhuge Lang wouldn't have retreated. She wouldn't have given Chu Mo time to ascend to the perfected golden immortal realm.
Now that Zhuge Lang was injured, it was equivalent to giving Chu Mo a buffer time.
Now, there was only one question left for Chu Mo. Should he take this opportunity to leave this place?
At this time, a cold female voice suddenly sounded in Chu Mo's spiritual sea. "Come to the Purple Smoke Hut in the south of the city."
Chu Mo blinked, his eyes filled with intense shock once more. At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling that the female Empress knew who she was protecting! She only attacked Zhuge Lang after finding out about him!
Just as Chu Mo was hesitating, the cold voice sounded again. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Chu Mo recovered, a wry smile on his face. He was only shocked, not afraid. Since he'd been discovered, he might as well go. He also wanted to know who this Empress Purple Smoke was and why she was helping him.
He thought that she hated people coming here to cause trouble, but now he understood that it wasn't the case. He had to find out the reason why she was doing this.
Chu Mo calmly walked towards the south of the city. In the blink of an eye, he had reached the south of the city. Just as he was about to ask someone where the Purple Smoke Hut was, he suddenly saw an ordinary-looking old man walking towards him.
Before Chu Mo could ask, the old man said in a low voice, "Follow me." Then, he led the way.
Chu Mo followed the old man, turning left and right, and soon came to a quiet area. There wasn't a single pedestrian here.
Finally, the old man stopped in front of a small courtyard and looked back at Chu Mo. "Go in, the Young Lady is waiting for you."
Chu Mo looked up. There was an ancient plaque hanging above the small courtyard with the words "Purple Smoke Hut" written on it. Chu Mo nodded to the old man, then gently pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.
After entering, he suddenly felt enlightened. There were all kinds of flowers and trees planted in the courtyard. It was very beautiful. A woman in a white dress was carefully watering a pot of flowers.
When she saw Chu Mo come in, she nodded slightly. "Wait a moment." Then, she started watering the flowers.
Her movements were very gentle, as if she was afraid of disturbing the flowers. Each and every one of his movements contained a strange sense of beauty.
Chu Mo stood there and watched quietly. He didn't feel any powerful aura from this woman. Instead, the more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was very ordinary. It wasn't her appearance that was ordinary. In fact, she was very beautiful. What was ordinary was her behavior. After looking at her for a long time, she gave off the feeling of a next-door sister.
What Chu Mo didn't expect was that the woman made him wait for more than four hours. During these four hours, from noon until evening, the woman in white only did one thing — watering the flowers.
Finally, when she finished watering the last plant, a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her delicate face was also somewhat flushed. It seemed like she was exhausted.
At this time, she seemed to suddenly think of Chu Mo. She turned her head and a pair of pure black and white eyes fell on Chu Mo. She nodded gently. "Not bad."
A bitter smile appeared on Chu Mo's face, then he cupped his fists and bowed. "Greetings, Empress Zi Yan!"
"You should call me Senior Sister," the woman in white said faintly, then looked at Chu Mo. "My Master is Empress Piao Ling!"
"Ah?" Chu Mo suddenly looked at the woman with his mouth agape. He almost lost his ability to think. His intuition told him that this was almost impossible!
If Qin Shi could become Empress Piao Ling's disciple, it would be understandable. Back then, Empress Piao Ling had a history with the Heaven Realm's Qin Clan. But this woman in front of him … She was an Empress who was even more powerful than Zhuge Lang! How could she be Empress Piao Ling's disciple?
Moreover, could it be such a coincidence? Chu Mo had casually barged into a big city and encountered Empress Piao Ling's disciple? And even helped him block a calamity?
"Why, you don't believe me?" The woman glanced at Chu Mo and asked softly.
