Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Chai Hongyu noticed Han Ying's secret movements. With the help of the magic circle, Han Ying also realized the special spiritual power fluctuations in Chai Hongyu that were unique to a strong person in the Guiyi realm.

Obviously, what he said just now did not have the effect of paralyzing the other party at all.

However, he did not expect that his little trick could be hidden from a strong man in the Guiyi Realm. He was just trying his best.

Now that he was discovered, he was too lazy to act anymore and his expression turned cold.

"Miss Chai, are you threatening me?"

"Do not."

Chai Hongyu shook her head, her expression indifferent, and no trace of emotion could be heard in her words.

"It's just a statement."

The fire flickered, and the red flame turned into tiny talismans that continued to surge underground. In the constantly changing finger gestures on Chai Hongyu's right hand, a strange power with an ancient and mysterious aura was formed.

After a pause, Chai Hongyu continued, "Han Ying, do you know what the Return to Oneness Realm means in this world?"

Without waiting for Han Ying to speak, she continued, "I will completely cut off all traces of immortality and cut off the secular world. If the Saint King doesn't come out, everyone in the world will avoid him."

"The ancestors of the four great families, the heads of the ten great sects, the six demons of the Demon Sect, the forbidden land of the witches and liches... the top fighters of all the forces, among them, only half of them have the true cultivation level of the Return to One Realm, only more than ten people."

"Even if you exclude me, there are still three cultivators around the Governor who are at least at the Guiyi Realm. For us, the Governor is our only shackle, so..."

"Do you want to see it? A rebellious avenger who has given up the path to immortality, disregarded the laws of nature, and has no scruples."

Hearing this, Han Ying's eyes immediately turned cold.

Chai Hongyu, however, raised the corner of her mouth slightly.

"You should be thankful that Ding Yiwei's assassination attempt failed that day, otherwise..."

boom! ! !
The Chixiao sword suddenly burst into a dazzling fire, and the next second, a red flame shot up into the sky. In a moment, it formed a flame storm dozens of feet high, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed up Han Ying completely.

"Whether you are from a sect or a noble family, whether you are from the righteous or evil sect, whether you are the mastermind or an innocent child, everything you cherish will be buried with the Governor!"

Along with endless murderous intent, the flames in the center of the flame storm erupted again. The red flames quickly turned white in the wildly swaying hot air flow, and even the space barrier was melted in an instant.

The unrestrained power of the Guiyi Realm was fully displayed at this moment.

Click…

Not long after Chai Hongyu finished speaking, the flame storm finally slowly dissipated.

As expected, Han Ying was unharmed.

The power of the fully activated ancient formation is extraordinary. Otherwise, even if he had a hundred thousand guts, he would not dare to act presumptuously in front of a powerful person in the Guiyi realm.

However, although he was not injured, his face looked extremely ugly.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that when Chai Hongyu threatened to sweep away all the aristocratic families and sects in the world with the power of unity, he couldn't help but feel a deep fear in his heart.

As a direct descendant of a top family, he naturally knew who was standing behind Lu Chen.

Fu Hua, Chai Hongyu, and Gu Simiao are three ridiculously young masters of the Return to Oneness Realm and the most powerful geniuses in the world. If Fu Hua and Gu Simiao are really as Chai Hongyu said, once Lu Chen dies, they will immediately follow the Gongyang Way of "blood for blood, tooth for tooth".

That would definitely be a disaster for their Han family.

Moreover, everyone can see how much the empress favors Lu Chen.

Not to mention anything else, Lu Chen had an accident in Xingping County before and was almost killed. Afterwards, the empress took crazy revenge without considering the consequences. While Lu Chen was not in Beijing, she issued an imperial edict to arrest all the people who might be involved in the incident and put them in prison. The Xuanji Guards interrogated them overnight.

Dozens of large and small aristocratic families were uprooted, and a small half of the royal family is still imprisoned in the empty prison of the clan house. In addition, many officials who were nobles and had a background in imperial examinations were directly arrested, some losing their jobs and some having their titles stripped away.

It can be said that the reason why the King of Chu was able to integrate the power of the aristocratic families in a very short period of time and raise the banner of clearing the court of corrupt officials was largely due to Jiang Chengwan's toughness, even madness.

He was so ruthless for a favorite minister, without any mercy at all, and even disregarded the balance of the court.

Lu Chen's narrow escape was enough to cause a huge shock in the capital. If he really died in Xingping County, Jiang Chengwan would probably turn the entire Zhongzhou upside down.

The Empress... three powerful people in the Guiyi Realm who have a close relationship with Lu Chen and may even be his women. Once this power gets out of control... Thinking of this, he suddenly became a little shaken.

Although the aristocratic families and sects will still win in the end, just like when Emperor Guangwu attempted to break the ten-thousand-year pattern but finally had to give up and cooperate with the aristocratic families, it is not certain whether their Han family can live to see the day of victory.

And at this moment——

"No need to care."

Suddenly, an old and low voice sounded in my ears.

"What this woman said was just a threat. She and the other two women have already entered the state of unity at a young age. The path to immortality is just around the corner. How could they give up so easily? Ying'er, don't be scared by her."

Hearing this, Han Ying's expression relaxed immediately, but he still hesitated and said in his mind: "But, ancestor, it's better to be safe than sorry. What if..."

"It doesn't matter even if there is a chance."

The old voice sounded again.

"That adult will take action."

These words made Han Ying completely relieved. Without any hesitation, he tightened his right hand holding the sword.

Hua Hua Hua~~~
The surging spiritual power hidden in the sword began to surge wildly, and the surrounding magic arrays started to operate at high speed at the same time. An extremely powerful force surged out from the center of the magic array, instantly sweeping away the remaining hot air around.

Seeing this scene and feeling the almost materialized spiritual power tide, Chai Hongyu immediately realized that Han Ying was ready to take action.

Her expression remained unchanged, and she did not get upset because of the failure of deterrence. Instead, she raised her hands, grasped the hilt of the Chixiao sword with both hands, and at the same time stimulated the spiritual power in her body's spiritual veins, pouring it all into a magic weapon that had already been activated under her feet.

"Let's stop here for the small talk."

Han Ying looked down at Chai Hongyu and said coldly: "For the sake of our past fighting side by side, I can give you, Miss Chai, another chance."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand and held the sword high in his hand.

As he moved, the night sky behind him suddenly shone brightly, and the lightning that was constantly stirring in the clouds began to gather madly in the direction of the sword. At this moment, the terrifying power of heaven and earth swept downwards like an overwhelming force.

Kaka!

A strong squeezing sound was heard, and the supreme pressure that was suppressed to the extreme raged wildly. Everything in this world seemed to solidify, and even the air stopped flowing.

Rumble, rumble! !
Deep purple lightning continued to gather and form countless huge pillars of light, like dazzling suns, completely illuminating the night sky.

The next second, the beam of light began to fall slowly.

In the breathtakingly high sky, Han Ying, whose body was bathed in countless lightning, spoke again: "Remove the space formation, hand over Lu the thief, and then leave. I will not make it difficult for you."

Faced with this doomsday-like situation, Chai Hongyu smiled coldly, without a trace of fear on her beautiful little face.

"dream!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the spiritual power behind Chai Hongyu instantly condensed, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into a huge fiery red wing, blocking in front of her and isolating her from Han Ying's line of sight. It seemed that she wanted to use this trick to block Han Ying's killing move.

Seeing this, Han Ying couldn't help but shook his head.

"Really? What a pity."

"Such a peerless beauty, a genius of her generation, is actually going to perish in my hands. How tragic..."

Accompanied by a sigh, countless bombs with a doomsday aura crashed down from the sky, almost instantly submerging the area within dozens of miles around Chai Hongyu's location.

Boom, boom! ! !

After a brief period of calm, amid countless sonic booms, a mushroom cloud slowly rose into the sky.

Thunder raged, the earth churned, and the dazzling white light swallowed everything.

At this moment, the imprisoned space completely turned into purgatory. (End of this chapter)
