Immortal Emperors Descend, and the Entire City Misunderstands
A heavily guarded side hall within the Clear Spirit Sect's headquarters.
Inside the hall, several grim-faced old women were forcibly holding Qingxue down, trying to put a pink dance dress, as thin as a cicada's wing and barely covering her vital parts, on her body.
"Let me go! Get away from me!"
Qingxue struggled desperately, her eyes filled with tears of humiliation. But with her cultivation sealed, she was like a powerless mortal in front of several old women at the Immortal General Realm.
"Smack!"
An old woman slapped Qingxue hard across the face.
"You lowly servant! Do you think you're some kind of saint?"
"The sect leader has ordered that you be thoroughly cleaned and sent to the Third Prince's residence tonight!"
"Being able to serve His Highness the Prince is a blessing you've accumulated over many lifetimes! Don't be so ungrateful!"
At this moment, Sect Master Liu Changqing also walked in with a gloomy face. Looking at Qingxue, whose clothes were disheveled and whose face was covered with tears, he showed no pity in his eyes.
"Not done yet?" he snapped. "The Third Prince's banquet is about to begin! If you're late, can you afford the consequences?!"
"Sect Master..." Qingxue looked at him in despair, "I am a disciple of the Clear Spirit Sect... How could you..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Changqing interrupted her, his eyes as cold as iron.
"It's all your fault for following the wrong person! You've gotten yourself into trouble you shouldn't have!"
"Sacrificing you to save our sect is worth it!"
"Take away!"
With a wave of his sleeve, several old women immediately lifted Qingxue up and dragged her out the door like a dead dog.
Qingxue's heart was utterly dead.
She gazed at the dark night sky, and the figure in blue in her mind grew increasingly blurry.
[Owner...]
Farewell...
Just as the Clear Spirit Sect members were escorting Qingxue out of the mountain gate, preparing to board the flying boat to the Prince's residence...
"Boom--!!!"
Without any warning!
Suddenly, the sky above the entire Purple Tenuity Imperial Capital cracked open!
Two vast and boundless, terrifying pressures, seemingly representing the will of this world, poured down like the Milky Way, instantly engulfing the entire Clear Spirit Sect's territory!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Whether it was those fierce-looking old women or the highly skilled Liu Changqing, under this oppressive aura, they were as if their bones had been removed, instantly collapsing to the ground, trembling in fear!
"This... this is..."
Liu Changqing looked up in alarm.
Two figures stood in the Xukong, seemingly floating on air.
A man clad in a purple and gold nine-dragon robe, exuding unparalleled majesty—the ruler of the Ziwei Kingdom, Zi Wuji!
A man dressed in bright yellow imperial robes, exuding an aura of dominance, stood tall— Yan Nantian, the ruler of the Great Yan Kingdom!
Two Immortal Emperor have personally arrived!
At this moment, not only the Clear Spirit Sect, but also the spies of countless surrounding forces were stunned by this terrifying scene!
"My God! It's His Majesty! And the Yan Emperor?!"
"Two Immortal Emperor have simultaneously descended upon a mere Clear Spirit Sect?! What are they trying to do?!"
"They've definitely come to demand justice! That Dongfang demon's maid is hiding here. His Majesty is going to personally take action and tear that demon's remnant to pieces!"
Hearing the surrounding whispers, Liu Changqing was terrified!
He thought that the Third Prince felt he had failed in his duties, and that it had even alarmed His Majesty to come and arrest him personally!
"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"
Liu Changqing knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically, pointing at Qingxue beside him who was also suppressed by the oppressive aura, and shouted loudly:
"The sinful woman is here! The sinful woman is here!"
"Our Clear Spirit Sect has already expelled this woman from the sect! Furthermore, we have sealed her cultivation and are preparing to send her to His Highness the Third Prince for judgment!"
"We are sworn enemies with that Dongfang demon! We beg Your Majesty to see the truth!"
He shouted himself hoarse, desperately trying to clear himself of all responsibility.
Upon hearing this, Qingxue closed her eyes in despair.
[Two Immortal Emperor have personally arrived...]
[It seems I really am... doomed.]
[Well, death is better than humiliation.]
However.
Yan Nantian, suspended in mid-air, looked at the woman who was being held down on the ground by several old women, her clothes disheveled and her face streaked with tears, and his eyelids twitched wildly!
[This is... that master's maid?]
[If that guy were to see this...]
[Hiss--!]
He felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head!
"You bastard!"
With a roar, Yan Nantian vanished from his spot in an instant!
Liu Changqing was overjoyed: [The Yan Emperor has made his move! That bitch is doomed!]
However, the next second...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The old women who were holding Qingxue were like rotten watermelons, directly blasted away by an irresistible force, crashing heavily against the wall and losing consciousness!
Immediately afterwards, Yan Nantian's tall figure stood in front of Qingxue.
He didn't kill anyone, on the contrary...
Carefully, he took out a radiant, immortal robe from his bosom and draped it over Qingxue's bare shoulders.
"Young lady... you've been frightened."
This scene was like a thunderbolt, stunning everyone present!
Liu Changqing's mouth gaped open; he didn't even realize his jaw had dislocated.
"What... what's going on?!"
Before anyone could react...
Zi Wuji also landed.
The ruler of the Purple Star Immortal Dynasty looked at Qingxue, who was completely astonished, and a smile that was almost "kind" and "ingratiating" appeared on his face.
"This must be Qingxue, right?"
"Indeed, she possesses an extraordinary air about her; no wonder she is... cough cough, no wonder she is the person beside that young master."
As he spoke, he casually waved his hand.
"Buzz!"
The restriction sealed within Qingxue's body vanished instantly!
Immediately afterwards, Zi Wuji flipped his hand, and a jade bottle appeared in his palm.
"I see the young lady has been somewhat frightened. Here is a bottle of [Nine-Turn Spirit-Calming Pill]. Please accept it to calm your nerves."
Qingxue was completely dumbfounded.
She stared blankly at the two men standing at the peak of a mid-level immortal dynasty in front of her. One draped a coat over her shoulders, and the other gave her pills. Their attitude was... unbelievably good!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty? The Yan Emperor?"
"You didn't come here... to kill me?"
"Kill you?!"
Yan Nantian and Zi Wuji exchanged a glance, then shook their heads vigorously.
"Who dares?!"
Yan Nantian shouted with righteous indignation, his voice echoing in all directions.
"Miss Qingxue is an honored guest! Anyone who dares to lay a finger on her is an enemy of the Great Yan and the Purple Star Immortal Dynasty!"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked coldly at Liu Changqing was kneeling on the ground.
"Just now... did you say you wanted to send her to be a plaything?"
"I..."
Liu Changqing froze, staring at the two Immortal Emperor with eyes that seemed to regard him as a dead man. He finally realized...
It seems I've misunderstood!
Moreover, it's completely wrong!
"No! Your Majesty! It's a misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding!"
"Roll!"
With a wave of his sleeve in disgust, Zi Wuji a Mighty Strength that sent Liu Changqing flying hundreds of feet away!
"If it weren't for the fact that I don't want to see blood today and spoil Miss Qingxue's mood, I would have destroyed your Clear Spirit Sect right now!"
After dealing with the swarm of flies, Zi Wuji put on a smiling face again and gestured for Qingxue to enter.
"This place is smoky and polluted; it's not suitable for a young woman to live here."
"If you don't mind, young lady, why don't you come back to the palace with me? I've already ordered the finest ' Listening to Snow Pavilion ' to be cleaned. You can stay here in peace and wait for... that young master to emerge from seclusion."
Qingxue looked at this 180-degree reversal, and although her mind was still dizzy, she understood one thing.
They... are afraid of their master!
[I'm afraid of... my master who's currently in seclusion!]
An unprecedented sense of pride and security welled up inside me.
She took a deep breath, bowed slightly, and regained her usual composure.
"Then... I'll have to trouble Your Majesty."
