Eighth Imperial Princess Liu Qing! Sisters Turn Against Each Other?
On the Maple Leaf Dynasty's flying ship.
Empress Liuye stared intently at the entrance to the Secret Realm deep within the void.
She was quite shocked when she learned of Cangmu Yan's death.
After all, Cangmu Yan's identity was extraordinary; he was a prince of the Azure Wood Dynasty, one of the Nine Great Dynasties under the Divine Dynasty.
Moreover, he is the most likely successor to the throne of the Azure Wood Emperor.
But now, only a few days after the start of the Hundred Dynasties War, Cangmu Yan has already fallen.
"Could it be that kid?"
Suddenly, as if possessed, Empress Liuye thought of Chen Changqing.
But then she shook her head with a wry smile and murmured to herself:
"I don't think so!"
"There are quite a few powerful individuals who have entered the Secret Realm this time."
"Although that kid is ranked first on the Azure Dragon Ranking, his cultivation level is only at the Purple Mansion Realm."
In her opinion, Chen Changqing was indeed extraordinary, and his strength could not be judged by his cultivation level.
But this time, it was Cangmu Yan fell.
Thinking it over, Empress Liuye took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and stopped thinking about it.
Meanwhile, within the Secret Realm.
Chen Changqing didn't think much of it and continued searching for Liu Ruyan based on the aura in the Soul Jade Talisman.
He had no idea that his killing of Cangmu Yan had caused a huge shock in the outside world.
"I need to meet up with my senior sister as soon as possible!"
"This Secret Realm is fraught with danger. She's all alone; if she encounters any danger, I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it!"
Thinking this, Chen Changqing flashed away, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the distance.
After obtaining the Myriad Spirit Wood, he fled in the opposite direction from where he had left with Liu Ruyan.
This was done to avoid drawing Cangmu Yan and the others to Liu Ruyan's vicinity.
On the other side, Liu Ruyan had arrived at a secluded Valley.
"Let's wait here for my junior brother to arrive."
Liu Ruyan muttered to herself, then took out the Soul Jade Talisman that Chen Changqing had given her and examined it.
Could it be you?
Others might not know this, but Liu Ruyan was very clear about it.
The person who killed Cangmu Yan was most likely her junior brother, Chen Changqing.
After all, when she parted ways with Chen Changqing was plotting to seize the Myriad Spirit Wood.
But she wasn't sure either.
Only when they meet Chen Changqing will they know.
And so, Liu Ruyan waited in that Valley.
During this time, several groups of Cultivators also passed by outside the Valley.
Fortunately, Liu Ruyan concealed her aura very well, and no one noticed her.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Liu Ruyan opened her eyes, her expression instantly turning serious as she sensed two streams of energy rapidly converging on her.
"This aura... is it from one of the princesses of my Maple Leaf Dynasty?"
Liu Ruyan frowned, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
It is important to know that this Hundred Dynasties War is extremely important to the Eldest Imperial Princess of the Maple Leaf Dynasty.
Because the outcome of the great battle also determines which of them will become the next Empress of the Maple Leaf Dynasty.
Liu Ruyan knew very well that even among the sisters, fights and killings were inevitable.
"I wonder, which sister is it?"
Liu Ruyan muttered to herself, having originally planned to find a place in the Valley to take refuge temporarily.
Chen Changqing is not by her side now. If she were to encounter other princesses of the Maple Leaf Dynasty, they would undoubtedly covet her.
However, to Liu Ruyan's surprise, she had only turned around and taken two steps when a figure suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
The newcomer was a middle-aged man with considerable cultivation, possessing the strength of the Nascent Soul Early Stage. He was examining Liu Ruyan with great interest.
"Um?"
Upon seeing this, Liu Ruyan's expression became extremely solemn.
For some reason, being stared at by this man made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind him:
"It's actually you, Ninth Sister!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was startled and quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
Upon closer inspection, a graceful woman appeared not far behind her.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, with a graceful figure, fair skin like jade, and eyebrows as fine as silkworm silk.
Who else could it be but Liu Qing, the Eighth Imperial Princess of the Maple Leaf Dynasty?
"Eighth Imperial Sister."
Upon seeing that the person who had arrived was Liu Qing, Liu Ruyan called out softly.
Liu Qing smiled charmingly, not in a hurry to speak, but instead looked around before asking curiously:
Ninth Sister.
Where is Chen Changqing?
"What? Aren't you with me?"
Upon hearing Liu Qing's question, Liu Ruyan inwardly felt uneasy, but outwardly remained calm and composed, replying:
"He went treasure hunting nearby."
I'll be right back.
Liu Ruyan didn't know much about her eighth sister, Liu Qing, only that she always kept to herself and rarely went out within the Imperial Dynasty.
Having learned that the External Aids she had sought was Chen Changqing, who was ranked first on the Azure Dragon Ranking, Liu Qing had also paid him a visit.
His real intention, of course, was to poach Chen Changqing and get him to help him.
However, Liu Ruyan dismissed him on the grounds that Chen Changqing was in seclusion for cultivation.
Upon hearing Liu Ruyan's reply, Liu Qing remained expressionless and stared intently at Liu Ruyan.
"Um?"
Under Liu Qing's gaze, Liu Ruyan's brows furrowed, and she uttered a soft question:
Why is my elder sister looking at me like that?
Upon hearing this, Liu Qing suddenly laughed.
As she laughed, her expression turned cold, and she said in a deep voice:
"How?"
"Is Ninth Sister treating me like a child?"
Liu Ruyan feigned surprise and said:
"Eighth Imperial Sister, what do you mean by that?"
"Oh!"
Liu Qing scoffed, looking at Liu Ruyan with a cold expression:
"If he really went treasure hunting, why didn't he take you with him?"
"Within this Secret Realm, one must not only guard against ferocious Devil Creature, but also prevent other Cultivators from coveting and spying upon it."
"Since Chen Changqing is your accomplice, surely he should have thought of this?"
"Moreover, this Valley is quite secluded, making it a good place to hide."
After hearing Liu Qing's words, Liu Ruyan became increasingly uneasy, knowing that none of her older sisters were easy to fool.
Before Liu Ruyan could think further, Liu Qing's gaze sharpened, and he said again:
Ninth Sister.
"If I'm not mistaken, you and Chen Changqing got separated, right?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was greatly shocked, and her breathing became much more rapid.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qing guessed it so quickly.
After a slight pause, Liu Ruyan then said:
"My junior brother did indeed go treasure hunting, and told me to wait for him in this Valley."
"Judging by the time, they should be back soon."
As soon as Liu Ruyan uttered these words, Liu Qing suddenly burst into laughter:
"Ha ha!"
As she laughed, her expression suddenly sharpened, and she said coldly:
"Ninth Sister, you'd better stop deceiving yourself!"
"For the sake of us being from the same mother."
"If you hand over all the Hundred Dynasties War Points you possess today, I might spare your life!"
Upon discovering that Chen Changqing was not by Liu Ruyan's side, Liu Qing naturally set his Points on the points Liu Ruyan possessed.
