Madam Shi, the Princess Consort, and the others were stunned to see Chu Qing kill the Wind Cloud Pioneer so easily.
Even Madam Shi, who had always been cold and aloof, showed a slight change in expression.
"Qing'er, you've become even more capable!"
Madam Jin was delighted, her eyes filled with affection and praise.
"It's fortunate you came. Otherwise, after a few more years of fighting, we might have been beaten to death by him."
Madam Shi said coolly, "Coachman, how did you kill him? Tell me."
Chu Qing said, "Ahem, Madam, learning this method requires paying a price."
Madam Shi lifted her chin and said frostily, "Such a small price is not worth mentioning."
"Say it!"
"I'll do it!"
Chu Qing leaned close and whispered into her ear.
Madam Shi rarely blushed. "Shameless coachman!"
The women beside them all tittered with laughter.
After the playful commotion, Madam Shi said seriously, "What exactly did you come to me for?"
Consort Mei Zuo Yan and the others also stared fixedly at Chu Qing.
Because this man had just returned from the depths of the Endless Sea. Normally, he should have rested for a while instead of coming out to do things.
But now... was it for the Dao Lineage Dispute?
Chu Qing fell silent for a moment, then said, "I want to settle the Path Pioneers as soon as possible!"
"Hmm?"
Chu Qing explained what had happened in the darkness, especially the Dao Fruit system and the Green Hand.
"The darkness sweeping over us is even stranger than the forbidden zones."
"In only a few hundred years, we will definitely have to face it."
"But even now, we have no way to deal with the darkness!"
"In my hometown, there's a saying—before repelling invaders, one must first pacify one's own house!"
