Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 671 A strange coincidence
In the Tianfu Continent, the Heavenly Lord of the Prefecture is the backbone and the spiritual pillar of the entire Tianfu Continent, while the Qin Emperor is the pillar of the Immortal Kingdom Continent!
Below the Venerable One, he is invincible; this is no empty title!
"Send a decree to Yan Li, instructing him to keep a close watch on the movements of the Great Qin Immortal Kingdom and report any unusual activity immediately."

The Empress gestured.

"As ordered!"

Yan Zhi respectfully responded and was about to leave when she was called back.

"besides……"

The Empress's voice showed a rare hint of hesitation: "Tomorrow, inform Qin Yu to come to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A hint of surprise flashed through Yan Zhi's mind, but she did not show it.

After Yan Zhi left, the Empress returned to her desk, picked up a memorial, but couldn't concentrate on reading it.

Why did I just let Yan Zhi tell Qin Yu to come find me?

What should we do if that guy really comes?
Surely one can't cultivate in the imperial study?
Moreover, without undergoing the tribulation and with a clear mind, she couldn't do anything to betray Xiao Ling'er.

but……

The crisis on the Immortal Kingdom continent kept the Empress on edge, making her eager to become stronger.

This seems to be the only way!
"Snapped!"

The Empress slammed the memorial shut, then suddenly realized her lapse in composure.

How could an emperor be troubled by such a thing?
However, the allure of the Venerable Realm is so strong.

Moreover, Qin Yu has so many beautiful and charming Daoist partners in the Ziwei Palace, and they get along very well. They wouldn't mind sharing some of their warmth, would they?
……

The Great Qin Immortal Kingdom.

The Spirit Tracking Slip in Kong Huan's hand suddenly trembled and emitted a buzzing sound. His expression changed, and he looked solemnly at the distant horizon: "It has appeared!"

"call out!"

Three figures sped away through the air.

Qin Chu's expression was gloomy, and a violent aura surged around him. His eyes flashed with cold light, and he wished he could fly over immediately and grind the person who was causing trouble in the dark to dust.

In just a short while, the three of them appeared in the sky above a city.

However, the sight before them made them gasp in shock.

Above the city, a huge vortex with a diameter of over a hundred feet slowly swirled, emitting a nauseating stench.

Beneath the vortex, hundreds and thousands of cultivators lined up like walking corpses, one after another being drawn into the vortex by an invisible force.

Even more terrifying, these cultivators who were devoured didn't even have time to scream before they were transformed into pure blood-red energy in the vortex and disappeared without a trace.

"Who dares to act so recklessly within the territory of my Great Qin!"

Qin Lingyue's pretty face was icy cold, and the cold light in her eyes was like two divine swords forged from ice.

"Whoever dares to act in this way is courting death!"

Qin Chu shouted and attacked without saying a word.

"boom!"

As he unleashed a powerful punch, a dazzling golden light shot out from his hand and slammed into the center of the crimson vortex.

"Oh!"

A deafening explosion rang out, golden light and blood-red vortex collided violently, and the terrifying aftershocks instantly destroyed the buildings below.

However, when the light faded, the crimson vortex only trembled slightly and remained completely unharmed.

"How can this be?"

Qin Chu looked surprised and doubtful. He had already activated his source power, and even someone who was also at the half-saint realm could not remain unmoved.

However, it was powerless against a mere blood-red vortex.
"Om..."

Just then, the crimson vortex suddenly accelerated its rotation, and the terrifying suction force within it suddenly intensified.

The cultivators below, who had not yet been swallowed, were lifted off the ground as if drawn by an inexplicable force towards the vortex.

Even more terrifying, this horrifying devouring force distorted the surrounding space, as if even light itself was being swallowed up. "Not good, retreat quickly!"

Kong Huan's expression changed, and he shouted in a deep voice.

Qin Chu's face was gloomy, and a golden barrier enveloped the three of them.

"boom!"

The next moment, a giant tentacle formed from blood suddenly emerged from the crimson vortex and swept towards the three of them with lightning speed.

Wherever the tentacles passed, the space itself seemed to shatter under the strain.

"court death!"

Qin Chu roared, clenched his fist, and an ancient longsword appeared. The sword was engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns. As soon as it was drawn, it caused a surge of energy in the world.

"cut!"

The sword light poured down like a golden galaxy, slashing fiercely at the blood-red tentacles.

With this strike, most of the crimson tentacles were severed. However, before Qin Chu could rejoice, new flesh and blood instantly grew from the severed area, and within just two breaths, it was completely restored.

"This... is probably not the method of a half-saint realm cultivator!"

Kong Huan's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his voice trembled slightly.

The person hiding in the shadows has not yet revealed themselves, yet they are able to contend with Qin Chu using only this method, which is beyond his expectations.

"Oh!"

The next moment, the crimson tentacles landed on the golden barrier. Before Qin Chu could retaliate, a terrifying force pulled the entire barrier towards the crimson vortex.

They looked as if they intended to devour the three of them whole!

"presumptuous!"

Qin Chu roared, and golden light swirled around the ancient longsword in his hand, which then burst forth with a terrifying and sharp aura.

"Huh! Huh!"

The next moment, golden sword light surged forth, instantly piercing the blood-red tentacles, leaving them riddled with holes.

However, this only slowed the rate at which it was being devoured; the crimson tentacles continued to regenerate at an extremely rapid pace, as if its original power had failed to harm its very core.

"call out!"

Just as Qin Chu was about to unleash his full power, blood-red light burst forth from the vortex, and two more tentacles extended out once more.

"Boom! Boom!"

As two streaks of red light flashed past, the golden barrier trembled violently, and two cracks suddenly appeared.

"not good!"

Qin Chu's expression changed, clearly not expecting the person in the shadows to be so powerful.

"Grand Secretary Chu, be careful!"

Qin Lingyue's pupils shrank sharply. She knew that even Qin Chu, a half-saint, was no match for her, so she was no match for him. She gritted her teeth and took off the purple jade pendant from her waist.

"Om..."

A crisp cracking sound echoed through the sky, and as the jade pendant shattered, the world fell silent for a moment.

From the shattered jade pendant, a magnificent purple light burst forth, and an indescribable, terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the surrounding area for thousands of miles.

The three people who were rapidly falling into the blood-red vortex were as if they were imprisoned in mid-air by an invisible force.

Even the hideous, blood-red tentacles, like insects trapped in amber, froze at a distance of only a few feet from the three of them.

Who dares to invade the territory of my Great Qin?

A voice slowly rang out, not particularly loud, yet it seemed to come from the heavens above, each syllable causing the space to tremble.

Where the purple glow converged, a blurry figure gradually solidified.
