In the tranquil main hall of the mansion, the True Lord Tengshe, dressed in blue robes, stood with his hands behind his back, still smiling as he looked at Chu Sui'er and Ye Li.
Its tone was as casual as if it were chatting with someone, but the words it uttered sent chills down Chu Sui'er's spine:
"If I remember correctly, it should be 1,800 years?"
"You... you're joking..."
Chu Sui'er finally reacted, but her voice was extremely hoarse, and the unexpected situation made her expression freeze on her face.
This is clearly a problematic performance and a mistake that is absolutely unacceptable at this moment.
However, she no longer had the energy to control her expression.
Thump! Thump!
Chu Sui'er stared intently at her toes, able to hear her heart pounding wildly in shock, almost forcing a sound out of her throat:
"This junior does not understand what you are saying..."
"It was I who was wrong."
True Lord Tengshe smiled wryly, as if he had just remembered something. He shook his head and calmly sat down in his chair. "I didn't expect you to be this stupid... Is this what Human Race call their characteristics?"
"Always only willing to believe things that fulfill their own expectations."
"Did your grandfather tell you before that the red flower contains the rare [Biyou Toad Poison], and that if you keep it in your Qi Sea for a thousand years to accelerate its growth, you can use it to harm True Lord in the Creation Realm?"
As it spoke, the smile on its lips grew wider, completely oblivious to Chu Sui'er's increasingly pale face. "So you really believed it?"
"Did he also tell you that if he could severely weaken me, the Lord of the [Hall of Subduing Demons] of Shenzhou would take the opportunity to attack this place and bring back all the people from the surrounding cities?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Li, who was sitting on a chair to the side, looked up. As the Supreme Elder of the Eastern Continent, although he had not served for long, he was extremely familiar with the official system of the Divine Continent.
If that's the case, then the Chu family of Qingping City has suffered a great loss due to their lack of information.
But that's understandable.
Information has been blocked for tens of thousands of years, so it's normal that people are unaware of the situation in the distant land of China.
Chu Sui'er's body trembled slightly, her beautiful face deathly pale. "..."
She had a vague idea of what the truth was.
But that's precisely why her mind went blank. Was all those thousands of years of excruciating pain really just a self-indulgent dream?!
"Unfortunately, there is no official organization in Shenzhou called the [Hall of Subduing Demons]."
Tengshe's smile deepened; it seemed to relish the scene of cornering a confident person. "Otherwise, you might actually be able to reach a consensus with them."
"The conditions for the growth of this [Nine Spirit Flower] are so demanding that you've barely managed to cultivate many in the entire history of your Tianyuan. I didn't have much hope for it before."
"I never imagined you'd actually raise it to life for such a vague hope. Amazing, truly amazing..."
He propped himself up from the chair, and though his words were words of praise, they couldn't hide the mockery in them. "How does it feel? The feeling of all your hard work going down the drain."
Boom!
A thunderclap boomed from the sky, illuminating hundreds of faces below, each with a different expression.
The prodigies waiting outside the distant courtyard were excited, while the woman in the scholar's robe inside the main hall was pale and staggered backward.
"How is this possible..."
The Qi Sea pain in her abdomen was still as real as ever, but she could hardly bear it anymore.
Just then, the young man sitting on the wooden chair slowly stood up, his wide sleeves fluttering, as a damp, howling wind rushed into the hall from outside, causing his Baiyi to flutter wildly.
Almost simultaneously, lightning illuminated the hideous snake head that had suddenly appeared on the shoulder of the man in blue!
The scales, soaked in blood, were tightly fastened together, and a pair of amber snake eyes looked at the two people inside the hall with a greedy smile.
Its swollen body burst through the blue robe, its sharp, knife-like claws stretched out at will, and its scarlet forked tongue flicked incessantly in the night.
The moment I met those ferocious, serpentine eyes.
Chu Sui'er felt her whole body trembling violently, and her steps uncontrollably led her backward.
Clang!
The main hall's doors were blown shut by the strong wind and slammed shut.
The Snake Lord, Great Demon of the Creation Realm, possesses the immense power to shatter and destroy the most prosperous Heavenly Abyss; no one has the courage to look him in the eye.
Chu Sui'er's heart pounded wildly. The atmosphere in the hall was so oppressive that she felt almost suffocated. Having already reached the peak of the Heaven and Earth Realm, she rarely felt so completely unable to muster any fighting spirit.
Her legs went weak and she trembled like a leaf.
She watched in despair as the Snake Lord stretched his limbs, shaking off his tattered blue robes. His snake head murmured, "It really does feel this comfortable..."
Before the words were even finished, its muscles bulged, and it charged towards the limp Chu Sui'er with lightning speed!
Chu Sui'er kept her eyes tightly closed.
The expected death did not come; instead, a deafening roar suddenly rang in my ears!
Boom!!--
The deafening crashes of collapsing houses were particularly jarring in the night. Chu Sui'er opened her eyes again and was astonished to find that not only was she unharmed, but the Azure Scale Snake Lord that had been charging towards her had also vanished without a trace.
All that remained was a straight impact mark stretching for thousands of feet.
Chu Sui'er's pupils gradually contracted to pinpoints. "Hah... Hah...?!"
Confused and disoriented, she intended to flee, but was suddenly frozen in place by a soft laugh from behind, "Scared yourself to death?"
The sound was clear and melodious, like jade striking jade, and the hand supporting her shoulder was equally steady and strong, so much so that it brought warmth back to her icy blood.
You urinated too early.
Upon hearing this, Chu Sui'er turned around abruptly, her eyes filled with the desperate longing of a drowning person grasping at a straw.
The unfamiliar young man, whose name she had just learned, withdrew his hand, his Baiyi fluttering. He strode past her and forward, his mocking, cold voice echoing throughout the entire Tengshe Mansion:
"The real show is about to begin!"
Boom!!!
As if in response to his words, a dazzling flame suddenly shot into the sky from the distant Qingping City!
The flames resembled Star had been suppressed for countless years, and the intense heat it emitted at this moment almost melted the earth's surface instantly!
As Ye Li finished speaking...
Two auras unique to the True Monarch of Creation Realm descended upon Qingping City, instantly sweeping across an area of tens of thousands of miles!
The thick, inky clouds were violently torn apart, and the furious cry of the phoenix shook the heavens and earth!
A massive event!!
