The loud shout accompanied by an immense aura caused everyone in the room to be drenched in sweat. They had not expected the temperament of the person standing behind the beautiful woman to be so terrible.Shizi tried to move and raised his hand, prompting Zhu Que to say to Xiong Kui, “He wants to speak. Stop intimidating them!”“Yes, Your Majesty!” Xiong Kui obeyed and withdrew the aura he had released. He only wanted these people to be polite toward his Queen and show proper respect.Zhu Que observed Shizi’s aura and could sense a familiar presence—it was Chen Nian’s Soul Binding Technique.“You must be Chen Nian’s subordinate. I can feel the blood bond with you,” Zhu Que said with a smile as she looked at Shizi. Even though Shizi was a Golden-Maned Tiger that had already evolved, before the Vermilion Bird he was completely helpless. Perhaps with just a snap of her fingers, he would be burned to ashes by flames.“Y-Yes!” Shizi felt somewhat nervous speaking to such a beautiful woman

While no one knew that Chen Nian had disappeared, he moved to another place—the Ring World. He immersed himself in the blue pond that greatly facilitated healing. Combined with pills and the Spiritual spring water, the resulting effect would be far faster.“Almost all of my strength has been used, yet the opponent is still undefeated. What exactly should I do? There’s no way Zhu Que can hold him off any longer.”He already knew that the one who saved him from the dimensional space of Long De was Zhu Que. He wanted to hold her, to act spoiled and cling to her. Such an important reunion had to be tainted by battle. If only there were no dire circumstances, Chen Nian would surely have vented all his longing. As for how Zhu Que would respond later, he did not think too much about it. But right now, there was something far more important—power. With his current strength, even though he possessed the red sword that could cut through everything, it was still far from enough. From the very fi

Zhu Que gazed at Chen Nian from afar. She had never expected that the weak man she once looked down upon had grown to such an extent. She thought to herself that her choice back then had not been wrong. Regardless of the foolish things she had done to Chen Nian and also to Mu Ning (the Master of the Cloud Temple), Zhu Que did not mind how many women Chen Nian would eventually have. Of course, she was jealous. Even so, she was not an egotistical woman. Living for thousands of years had made her far more mature than most women. Only because she retained her youthful appearance did she remain beautiful and mesmerizing.Her deep gaze reminded her of her first meeting with Chen Nian—the moment when she had still been trapped within a sword. At that time, Chen Nian had been extremely weak, with an insignificant cultivation level, yet he had been able to lift the sword’s curse just as the person who had sealed her inside had said.“Anyone with a kind heart will be able to lift the curse and

A week had passed, and the Crimson Palace received a guest. A man who looked young yet was actually old stood gazing at the empty throne.“I don’t sense Queen Zhu’s presence. Did you lie to me when you said she was refining the Ancient Treasure of the Crimson Palace? Hah!” Di Sang said with bulging eyes, sweeping his gaze across everyone present in the Crimson Palace’s meeting hall. Di Sang was someone who had long pursued Zhu Que. His feelings had never been returned. Even so, he continued to fight for her despite being rejected again and again. He was extremely happy the first time he received news that Zhu Que had returned to the palace, and he kept coming to visit just to declare his love. He already considered himself the strongest among his peers, so he was no longer obsessed with cultivation. With his strength and the influence of the Di Clan, what was there to fear?Xiong Hai, who was responsible for the Queen’s position, spoke up. He represented Zhu Que in conveying the messa

At night, under the dim illumination of the moon, hundreds of thousands of people had already flown hundreds of kilometers. At that height, they were staring at a clan—one that was vast and enormous, with many mountains serving as fortresses for it. “It seems they’ve also begun preparing to attack us. Queen Zhu’s idea to strike first is indeed solid, rather than waiting helplessly in our cage while unprepared.” “It’s not wrong for her to be the leader. Even though she’s a woman, she’s still competent.” This time, Xiong Kui stood at the very front, leading with a raging fury in his heart. Previously, he had let Di Sang go only because he didn’t want to damage inter-clan relations, so he did not kill him. But it turned out he had been too naïve! If Queen Zhu had not taken the initiative to attack first, then the Crimson Palace would surely have been flattened by the already-gathered forces of the Di Clan. However, this direct preemptive strike by the Crimson Palace changed everything.
