The Dead Are Speaking

At the same time, Ye Qiu just managed to blow up the last crow.

Before he could even feel relieved, he suddenly realized that his body had begun to tremble uncontrollably.

Skin begins to age at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The immense and terrifying power within his body began to drain away violently.

What did you do?

Upon noticing the changes within his body, Ye Qiu stared at Tang Yu with a fearful expression and roared.

"The dead are talking."

Tang Yu put her hand next to her ear as if listening and smiled.

"Go to hell!"

Ye Qiu knew he couldn't wait any longer, and tried to rush forward and kill Tang Yu while he still had the strength.

He had only taken a few steps forward when he collapsed to the ground, the feeling of weakness in his body growing stronger.

His body was covered in wrinkles, and his hair was beginning to turn gray and fall out.

In just a few breaths, Ye Qiu seemed to have aged a full hundred years.

After falling to the ground, he looked at Tang Yu with a horrified expression, refusing to believe what he was seeing.

He was clearly blessed with the nation's destiny.

How could he possibly kill himself???

Tang Yu did not offer him any explanation.

The power of Heaven's Dao, even a trace of it, is something that Ye Qiu could never contend with.

God wants to kill an ant.

You don't even need to lift a finger; a single thought is enough.

He walked to the cauldron and was about to pull out the long sword that was stuck in it.

"Don't want..."

In his final moments, Ye Qiu let out a desperate roar.

He could die, but he didn't want to see the Ye Family's years of planning fail completely at the last moment.

Tang Yu, expressionless, forcefully pulled the sword out.

The golden sword engraved with the words "Emperor" seemed to let out a mournful cry, and it broke apart inch by inch.

After seeing this scene.

Ye Qiu closed his eyes, his gaze filled with despair.

He murmured "old man" in a weak voice before his heart stopped beating completely.

After Ye Qiu died, his body continued to decay, eventually turning into a pile of ashes, which were then dispersed into the world by a gentle breeze.

Tang Yu didn't feel much emotion upon seeing Ye Qiu's death.

They weren't the kind of rivals who respected each other; they were both hoping to suffocate each other with their own excrement.

"I wonder what's going on outside."

After sighing, Tang Yu hesitated whether to go out and check on the situation.

He suddenly noticed that the golden light flowing around the altar seemed to have become more violent, flowing much faster, and the entire altar even began to sway slightly.

Qiu Xiaozhu, whose injuries had stabilized, began to tremble.

She looked to be in considerable pain, and her breathing became rapid.

After noticing that Qiu Xiaozhu's condition had suddenly deteriorated.

Tang Yu's expression changed slightly, and she carried Qiu Xiaozhu down from the altar.

He had just gone downstairs when a figure rushed in from outside.

The newcomer was none other than the Grand Elder. When he entered, his beard was bloodstained and his face was pale, clearly indicating that he had just been seriously injured in a fierce battle.

After seeing Tang Yu carrying Qiu Xiaozhu down from the altar.

The elder stared at Tang Yu with murderous intent, ready to make a move.

Seeing that the old man was about to attack him, Tang Yu quickly lowered his voice and shouted.

"Elder, I am Ling Jun."

"Ling Jun?"

Even after recognizing Tang Yu's voice, the Grand Elder remained vigilant.

With so many traitors appearing in the Nine Heavens Alliance now, who knows if this guy is in cahoots with Ye Qiu?

"He's one of us... He's the one who just killed Ye Qiu."

At this moment, Qiu Xiaozhu, who was being held in Tang Yu's arms, opened her eyes and called out in a weak voice.

She hadn't completely lost consciousness after being severely injured by Ye Qiu, and she had witnessed everything that happened on the altar.

Her physical condition was just too bad; if Tang Yu hadn't fed her the pills, she would have lost consciousness long ago.

"You killed Ye Qiu?"

Upon hearing that Tang Yu had killed Ye Qiu, the Grand Elder finally dispelled his hostility towards Tang Yu.

"Yes, the reason I came to the Nine Heavens Alliance incognito was to hunt down Ye Qiu."

Tang Yu explained with a wry smile.

"I thought you came here to woo our Xiao Zhu."

Perhaps because he had learned of Ye Qiu's death, the Grand Elder, who was somewhat relieved, even had the mind to joke.

He was laughing for a moment when he clutched his chest and coughed violently, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He and his third brother had just fought a life-or-death battle to get here.

Although he successfully killed the third brother, his internal injuries were quite severe.

The second brother was in an even worse situation, almost trading his life for the eighth brother's. He didn't even have time to treat the eighth brother, rushing over immediately.

"How did you get hurt? What's the situation outside?"

This was the first time Qiu Xiaozhu had seen the Grand Elder so badly injured, and she asked with concern in a weak voice.

"The third brother did it..."

The elder, his face filled with grief, briefly explained what had happened.

Upon hearing the news of the Third Elder and Eighth Elder's betrayal and the Fifth Elder's death.

Qiu Xiaozhu looked somewhat sad; these were all elders she had known for decades.

But in the end, they parted ways and even became enemies in this way.

As for Ye Qiu's death, she didn't feel sad, just a little heartbroken.

"Master, why are you getting weaker and weaker? Is it related to the Nine Dragons Array?"

Noticing the change in Qiu Xiaozhu's body, Tang Yu frowned and asked.

"Yes."

Qiu Xiaozhu weakly uttered a single word, still somewhat unaccustomed to Tang Yu's unfamiliar face.

But she was still quite pleased that he had become even more handsome.

Why did the Nine Dragons Array go out of control?

Seeing the altar begin to sway slightly, the Grand Elder's face showed almost despair.

If the Nine Dragons Array breaks now, the Qiu Family's centuries of protection will be destroyed in an instant.

"It must have been caused by Ye Qiu forcibly seizing control of the formation."

After Tang Yu finished explaining, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't used up the wisp of Heavenly Dao power within him.

While this wisp of Heavenly Dao power still remains.

Tang Yu lowered his head and kissed Qiu Xiaozhu directly.

"..."

The elder stared wide-eyed.

He knew this bastard had designs on his master, but how could he kiss him right in front of everyone? What kind of time is this?

Despicable outsider!

Qiu Xiaozhu was also dumbfounded, staring blankly at Tang Yu.

After kissing for about ten seconds, Tang Yu finally released Qiu Xiaozhu and asked, "How did it feel?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the altar, which had been swaying slightly, fell silent instantly.

The ever-flowing golden light returned to its previous state.

Qiu Xiaozhu's injuries healed instantly.

After sensing the changes within her body, Qiu Xiaozhu looked at Tang Yu with a shocked expression and asked...

"What did you do to me... how did I break through to a higher realm?"

Just after Tang Yu kissed her, she felt an indescribable force enter her body.

The bottleneck of the third level of the Celestial Realm was then easily broken.

The Nine Dragons Array's out-of-control state vanished instantly.

"I have given you the power of the Heavenly Dao."

Tang Yu's simple answer left Qiu Xiaozhu and the Grand Elder dumbfounded.

They have been stuck at the second level of the Celestial Realm for many years.

Reaching this level requires more insight and breakthroughs in one's state of mind.

Therefore, they naturally had some understanding of the existence of the Heavenly Dao, although it was only a very vague concept.

But after truly witnessing the so-called power of the Heavenly Dao...

You can imagine how they felt.
