Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 603 The Empress's Changes

The Chu Emperor made a decision immediately.

After the three ancient formations are repaired, I must find an opportunity to ask Chu Liuya about it.

This is a good thing. It's not like he, as the older brother, disagrees. What's there to hide?

It's just a pity that my beloved daughter's good intentions were wasted.

During this period of communication, Chu Muyin asked Emperor Yan more than once whether he had responded.

Should I tell my daughter about this?
The Empress quietly observed the changes in the Chu Emperor's expression, her mind clear as a mirror.

snort!
She couldn't say whether she regretted bringing Qin Yu along that day, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

and many more.

Why did she have this kind of mentality?
Is it possible...

Soon, the Empress's eyes returned to their calm, still state.

Watching Qin Yu's fluid movements, the Chu Emperor grew increasingly satisfied. Whether it was out of a fatherly concern or his status as the emperor's elder brother, his gaze was exceptionally ardent.

If it weren't for the constraints of the oath of the Great Dao, he probably would have wanted to talk about more than just mundane family matters.

As for Chu Liuya's concerns...

To be honest, the Chu emperor was unable to empathize.

In his view, for a prodigy like Qin Yu, marrying one is one thing, but wouldn't marrying two be safer?

As for their relationship as aunt and niece?
We're not ordinary mortals, why should we care about these things?

In less than two days, the malevolent energy under the three ancient formations was completely purified. Just in case, Qin Yu still set up a complete Star Prison Suppression Formation to repair the broken formation.

The methods of the ancient evil spirit are bizarre. Without a thorough investigation into the deep pit beneath the formation, no one can guarantee that there might be any hidden tricks left behind by the ancient evil spirit.

"Thank you for your trouble, Master Qin. If you don't mind, would you like to come with me to the capital of Great Chu?"

The Chu Emperor finally felt relieved and extended a warm invitation.

This isn't an attempt to win them over; it's simply a way of expressing gratitude.

"This……"

To be honest, Qin Yu was somewhat tempted.

I've heard from Ling Tianfeng more than once that some places in the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom are famous among the nine immortal kingdoms.

If given the chance, who wouldn't want to see it for themselves?
"The Emperor of Chu might as well ask the Emperor of Qi if he agrees."

The Empress gave Emperor Chu a cold glance.

This guy is really testing the limits of the Great Dao Oath relentlessly, skirting the line right up to the Great Dao itself. Isn't he afraid that during the Venerable Heavenly Tribulation, a single lightning tribulation will obliterate his soul?!

"It's alright, it won't take more than a few days. Emperor Qi is strong and healthy, he can hold on for a few more days without any problem."

The Chu Emperor casually waved his hand.

Winning Qin Yu's favor is of utmost importance!
Emperor Qi?

With all the hidden dangers of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom resolved, who still cares about that old Deng?

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty the Emperor. I will definitely go when I have the opportunity in the future."

Sensing the chill emanating from Her Majesty the Empress, Qin Yu tactfully declined.

Under the Chu Emperor's lingering gaze, the Empress turned and left.

Seeing this, Qin Yu glanced apologetically at the Chu Emperor, bowed, and quickly caught up.

"Emperor Yan, you are truly unworthy of being an emperor!"

After watching the two figures disappear into the distance for a long time, the Chu Emperor finally uttered a sentence.

He could tell that Qin Yu was tempted. If it weren't for Emperor Yan, they could have been drinking and having fun in the capital in no time!

As for why I'm only saying this now?

There is no other reason.

We simply can't win!
"Aren't you going to the capital of the Great Chu?"

The Empress glanced at the figure desperately chasing after her and said coldly.

Is he... jealous?!
"After all, it was a personal invitation from the emperor of a nation..."

Qin Yu gave an awkward laugh.

The Empress could disregard the Chu Emperor's feelings because she was powerful enough.

Besides, he's still my brother-in-law. Even though he's in the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom, we'll have to meet again eventually, so we can't let things get too awkward.

"I am not restricting your behavior, but I just want to tell you that you should always prioritize the safety of the human race's immortal kingdom."

The Empress seemed to realize that she had lost her composure, and her expression returned to its indifferent state.

The reason she refused was simply because there was still a mess to clean up in the Great Qi Immortal Kingdom.

Absolutely no ulterior motives!!!
"Understood. The Chu Emperor intends to put the Great Qi in danger. I will keep my distance from him in the future."

Qin Yu understood and immediately expressed her opinion.

The Empress gave Qin Yu a meaningful look.

Although she knew he said it on purpose, the Empress still felt that he wasn't so annoying anymore.

At least, it's much more sensible than Xiangrui.

Speaking of which, the battle with the Lord of the Black Soul Palace and the expenditure of her own essence to suppress the ancient malevolent spirit had taken a toll on her, causing her Great Dao Ladder to become somewhat unstable.

but……

Let's wait until we resolve the hidden dangers in the Great Qi Immortal Kingdom before making any further decisions.

Furthermore, the Lord of the Black Soul Palace has fled, but his essence has been damaged. To completely eliminate him, it is essential to seize this opportunity and use his remaining divine soul to search for his whereabouts.

……

"Your Majesty, the malevolent energy in both regions has been suppressed under the ancient formation, however..."

"I understand."

Emperor Qi hung up the telepathic message and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Five days have passed.

Given the speed of Emperor Yan and auspicious omens, it should have taken at most half a day to complete the task at the border of the Great Qi. Why has it been delayed for so long?

Could it be that I'm just fooling myself?
However, given Emperor Yan's status, it shouldn't be that bad.

Are we waiting for auspicious omens to completely eliminate the ancient malevolent spirits before helping the Great Qi?

The ancient malevolent spirits posed a great threat, so Emperor Yan's decision was understandable. However, the situation within the Great Qi Immortal Kingdom was simply too dire to continue.

Aside from the malevolent energy in this region, which he personally suppressed, the other two regions were suppressed by the Great Qi's retainers using the power of Daoist energy.

The Great Qi royal family has only two Grand Masters. Although they are powerful, they have not yet mastered the origin of power. Forcibly suppressing the malevolent energy could easily harm them, and might even damage their own path to the Great Dao!

"call out!"

Just as Emperor Qi was getting anxious, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura appearing on the border. In a short while, a figure exuding boundless majesty tore through the sky and appeared on the horizon.

"Fire Emperor!"

Emperor Qi's pupils contracted, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Yan has finally arrived!
But what about auspicious omens?

Did Emperor Yan come alone?
No.

Behind her was an honest-looking man whose aura was extremely well concealed. Even he couldn't sense the other's cultivation level, and if he didn't look at him, he couldn't even sense his presence.

How strange.

However, judging from his respectful attitude towards Emperor Yan, he must be a guest minister of the Great Yan royal family.

If they were both of the same rank, they would naturally possess their own unique pride; how could they be so obsequious?!
However, what kind of cultivation technique did this kid, who was at most at the Foundation Establishment stage, have practiced that even a half-saint like him couldn't see through?
"Emperor Yan."

Emperor Qi glanced at Qin Yu only once before his gaze fell on Emperor Yan.

"This is Qin Yu, a retainer of the Great Yan royal family."

The Empress nodded slightly and introduced herself.

"Is this Master Qin?"

A look of surprise flashed across Emperor Qi's eyes.

Qin Yu's name had already spread throughout the nine immortal kingdoms when he repaired an ancient formation for the Xiaoyao Pavilion. Not long ago, the news from the Bai family moved all the royal families.

Offerings from the ancient Bai family!
This identity alone was enough to make him a guest of honor in the royal families of various immortal kingdoms.

This is not only because he has a powerful ancient clan behind him, but more importantly, the two former enshrined members of the Bai family of the ancient clan were both masters of formations in their time.

The current master of formations is Emperor Qin!

Qin Yu was able to become a retainer of the Bai family. Could it be that the Bai family believes... he has the potential to become a grandmaster?!

"I have long admired Master Qin's name, and meeting him today, I can confirm that he is indeed extraordinary!"

Emperor Qi smiled and said.

"Qin Yu pays respects to Emperor Qi!"

Qin Yu bowed and said.

It's called bowing, but it's really just a slight bow.

In fact, he knew that the reason why the Qi Emperor was so enthusiastic was mainly because of the Empress.

Before the Empress introduced him, Emperor Qi completely ignored him.

"Emperor Yan, where is the Empress Dowager of the Great Yan?"

After exchanging a few words, Emperor Qi got straight to the point.

The situation within Daqi is not optimistic at present.

"There's no need for her to come."

The Empress said calmly.

"Ok?"

Emperor Qi was slightly taken aback.

Why not bring auspicious omens?
How can the malevolent energy beneath that ancient formation be dispelled?
Now, the three ancient formations have been broken, and a raging, malevolent aura is surging forth. Even though there are experts at the Foundation Establishment Realm who have temporarily imprisoned them under the broken ancient formations, without addressing the root cause, the formation masters within the Great Qi Immortal Kingdom have no ability to repair the ancient formations.

"The Qi Emperor only needs to make a vow to uphold the Great Dao, just like the Chu Emperor; he doesn't need to worry about anything else."

The Empress did not rush to signal Qin Yu to make a move, but spoke slowly.

"The oath of the avenue?"

Emperor Qi's expression hardened.

Those who are at the Half-Saint Realm can already vaguely sense and touch the existence of the Great Dao.

Making a vow to the Great Dao will be immediately felt by the Great Dao, and one will never be able to break it in their lifetime.

"The Qi Emperor only needs to swear an oath not to reveal what he saw today and not to have any intention of seizing it by force."

The Empress also knew that this request was somewhat excessive.

However, she had no choice but to do so for Qin Yu's safety.

Emperor Qi hesitated.

Emperor Yan's attitude did not seem like he was joking.

Furthermore, he had personally witnessed that the Chu Emperor was clearly bound by the oath of the Great Dao.

Could there really be some secret that Emperor Yan would take so seriously?

"Emperor Qi, my time is running out."

The Empress seemed to have little patience and reminded her.

"I, Qi Cangyun, now swear by the Great Dao..."

Although Emperor Qi was somewhat reluctant, considering the perilous situation facing the Great Qi, he finally gritted his teeth and made a solemn vow.

"boom!"

As he finished speaking, a mysterious power emerged from the darkness.

The oath of the Great Dao has taken effect.

"Emperor Yan, may we begin?"

Emperor Qi took a deep breath, his expression somewhat serious.

To be honest, Emperor Yan's attitude made him somewhat uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the fact that he needed to resolve a deep-seated problem, and that his dignity as the emperor wouldn't allow him to do this!
He's not like the Chu Emperor, who had no morals whatsoever!

"Go."

The Empress nodded slightly, gesturing to Qin Yu.

"Emperor Yan, what's going on?"

Seeing Qin Yu stride towards the deep pit of the broken formation ahead, Emperor Qi's expression changed slightly.

With a wisp of his primordial power, he sealed the massive amount of malevolent energy that had been raging within the deep pit. Without the suppression of an ancient formation, ordinary people who got close to it might be corrupted by the malevolent energy!

How could Emperor Yan bear to let this prodigy of formations take such a risk?

The empress did not offer any further explanation.
