I Cultivate the Path of Emotionlessness

The Black-Clothed Leader, who was first in line, finally realized that he had almost forgotten about the three of them because he was so focused on queuing.

These three cannot be allowed to live! Otherwise, their plot to assassinate the Empress will be exposed.

He froze on the spot as soon as he had the urge to kill, because he carefully examined the cultivation levels of the three people in front of him, only to be horrified to find that he could not see through them at all!

"Judging from their age, they're not much older than this useless Empress. Why can't I see through them?" He pondered to himself, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with doubt and apprehension. "Could they be mortals without cultivation? No! Absolutely impossible!"

"Judging from their imposing presence and otherworldly aura, they can't possibly be ordinary people! There's only one possibility: all three of them are more powerful than me!"

Thinking of this, the Black-Clothed Leader almost couldn't hold it in and urinated in his pocket...

"Hiss! You should know that you are at the fifth level of the Immortal King realm!"

"These three are definitely prodigies from some major power in Qinghan Immortal Prefecture!"

"I just don't know why such a prodigy would come to such a remote and impoverished place as Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty?" The Black-Clothed Leader muttered to himself, then immediately changed his mind and tone of voice. "Ahem, young master, why don't you go first? You'll be first in line."

"Azure Lotus Sword Art!"

No sooner had the Black-Robed Men finished speaking his obsequious words than Lin Bai suddenly drew his Azure Lotus Immortal Sword and with a casual wave of his hand, an incomparably sharp Sword Qi aura swept out!

His cultivation had reached the peak of the Immortal King realm, and his swordsmanship was also unfathomable.

Even a casual sword strike was not something that the Black-Clothed Leader, a mere fifth-level Immortal King, could withstand. In an instant, the Black-Clothed Leader was cleaved into a cloud of blood mist by that terrifying Sword Qi!

Boom! The sword intent continued relentlessly, annihilating all the hundreds of Black-Robed Men were lined up behind it! Instantly, bits of flesh flew everywhere, and blood mist filled the air.

"Screw you! I cultivate the Path of Path of Emotionlessness." Lin Bai sheathed his Azure Lotus Immortal Sword and flicked non-existent dust from his sleeves. "Who are you to make a fuss?"

"Thank you so much for saving me. I will never forget your kindness," Ouyang Ning said, quickly stepping forward and bowing in gratitude after recovering from her initial shock.

She had a graceful figure, and although her face looked a little haggard, it couldn't hide her innate beauty. When she saw the trembling fairy beast Xiao Xi not far away, she understood why the car had just overturned.

These three benefactors are incredibly powerful! Xiao Xi trembled with fear. The hundreds of Black-Robed Men were no match for them; they were like ants in front of them.

"I just heard them say that you are a remnant of the Ouyang Immortal Clan, or the current Azure Cloud Empress. What is your name?" Shi Hao stood with his hands behind his back, his powerful aura overwhelming everyone, making it impossible for anyone to look him in the eye.

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ning did not dare to hesitate and quickly replied, "My benefactor, I am Ouyang Ning of the Ouyang Immortal Clan. You can just call me Ningning."

"As for the identity of Azure Cloud Empress..." She paused, as if thinking of something sad, her eyes reddened, and she choked up before continuing, "This identity was forced upon me by those Three Great Clans."

When the past was mentioned, her hands clenched unconsciously, her nails digging into her palms. "My father was the Immortal Lord of the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty, but he perished under the tribulation of lightning when he broke through to the Immortal Venerable realm."

"Those Three Great Clans took the opportunity to rebel. They killed all my clansmen, and now they want to wipe me out completely."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao and the other two exchanged glances, their understanding unspoken, as if they had already made a decision in their eyes.

"Ningning, is it? Do you want to avenge your people?"

"My benefactor! I want to!" Ouyang Ning's heart stirred, and she excitedly raised her head. "My benefactor! What do I need to do? Just tell me what you need. As long as I can avenge my family, I am willing to give my life."

Even though she wasn't very knowledgeable, she understood the principle that there's no such thing as a free lunch, and she was willing to grasp at this lifeline for revenge.

Shi Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said indifferently, "It's useless for me to take your life. You can continue to be a good Empress."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ning immediately understood. She was familiar with this tactic, having already experienced it once before; she was simply playing the role of a puppet Empress again.

However, if it allows me to avenge myself, I'm willing to be this puppet! I have no complaints whatsoever!

"My benefactors, Ningning is willing to do anything," Ouyang Ning nodded, and with a determined heart, immediately made Heavenly Dao Oath: "I, Ouyang Ning, am willing to obey the orders of my benefactors in everything. If I do anything wrong, may I be punished by Heaven and Earth!"

Given my situation, taking the initiative to Heavenly Dao Oath is the wise thing to do.

"My benefactors, why are you doing this..." She still couldn't understand this question. The cultivation levels of these benefactors were so powerful, and their identities must be incredibly high. Why would they care about her small Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty?

"Leave the mountain to gain experience, and sweep across Qinghan." Lin Bai replied simply and clearly with eight words.
