I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 239 The Great Qian Dynasty Changes, the Chen Family Wedding!

Chapter 239 The Great Qian Dynasty Changes, the Chen Family Wedding!
Chen Mo's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Empress Dowager Xiao then understood.

So this kid deliberately disguised himself as a twin demon to contact him in order to plant a Netherworld Blood Curse within him!?

No wonder... that twin demon suddenly grabbed his own hand at first.

Even more strangely, Empress Xiao had not noticed any discomfort in her body before, which shows that the other party's Underworld Blood Curse has surpassed the original technique, the Other Shore Flower Curse, created by Jiang Hongyue.

vicious.

That's too cruel.

Empress Dowager Xiao gritted her teeth in anger, "What a treacherous fellow!"

Seeing Empress Dowager Xiao's exasperated state, Chen Mo stood motionless in the void, hands behind his back, a bright smile on his lips. "Hehehe... Insidious? You must have lost your mind. In a life-or-death battle, it's all about life and death. What does it matter if someone is insidious or not?"

puff!

Empress Dowager Xiao spat out another mouthful of blood, no longer daring to face Chen Mo directly, and began to retreat rapidly.

"You think you can just run away because you can't win?" Bai Yujing suddenly appeared behind Empress Xiao, blocking her retreat.

brush!
Empress Dowager Xiao turned around abruptly and saw Bai Yujing standing in mid-air, dressed in flowing white robes, her long silver hair billowing in the wind. A dazzling white light shone around her, forming a radiant sphere that emitted a blinding glow beneath the sky. The ancient sword in her hand emitted a series of sharp, piercing sword cries in the night, causing a sharp pain in the eardrums.

Chen Mo was in front, and Bai Yujing was blocking their way from behind.

Xiao Nanfeng had nowhere to go.

Even worse... the Underworld Blood Curse within Empress Xiao's body began to erupt.

It was as if countless tiny snakes, lurking in the minutiae of her flesh, were suddenly unleashed. These countless snakes slithered through Empress Xiao's body, causing her blood and qi to flow in reverse.

"Damn you two!!"

Empress Xiao roared angrily and began to frantically resist the Netherworld Blood Curse within her body.

She immediately mobilized all the power of the Imperial Seal in an attempt to counter the Blood Curse of the Underworld.

"how come……"

Xiao Nanfeng suddenly opened his eyes wide, revealing an incredulous expression.

The power of the nation's destiny was Empress Xiao's greatest trump card. She had spent a century forging the Twin Demons using the power of the Imperial Seal. Yet, it couldn't withstand the power of the Underworld Blood Curse.

This blood curse... seems to have connected with the power of the underworld, frantically devouring its own flesh and blood.

The devouring effect is getting stronger and stronger.

The nation's strength cannot withstand it.

puff!

Xiao Nanfeng coughed up blood again, her complexion growing paler and paler, as if she sensed death approaching. She became anxious: "Chen Mo, there's no need for us to be like this, is there? We can talk about anything."

I've done many bad things to you before, and I apologize. I'm willing to pay the price; we can talk.

Chen Mo stood with his hands behind his back in the void, staring coldly at Empress Dowager Xiao without uttering a word. His icy gaze was as if he were looking at a dead man.

Empress Dowager Xiao became even more anxious. "Chen Mo, I am the Empress Dowager of the Great Qian Dynasty. If anything happens to me, the entire Great Qian Dynasty will collapse. Countless people will immediately be plunged into war. That will be a living hell. Keep me alive, and we can talk... If you want to be the emperor, I can issue an abdication edict and hand over the imperial power of the Great Qian Dynasty to you."

"Hahaha."

Chen Mo suddenly smiled.

His laughter was somewhat manic.

“I’m not even human anymore, so what does the chaos in the world have to do with me? You’re trying to use the world’s morality to blackmail me? That’s too naive. I’ve never said I’m a good person.”

"I don't care if the world is in chaos."

I don't care about imperial power or the throne.

All I want today is... for you to die!

Empress Dowager Xiao finally realized how terrifying Chen Mo was, and she also sensed his determination to kill her.

"Fine, you're very good. Since you won't give me a way out, then die with me!" Empress Xiao suddenly self-destructed, abandoning her own body.

Boom!

His body shattered into countless fragments, and blood mist flew everywhere.

Empress Xiao's soul was infused into the giant elderberry tree, emitting an incomparably ferocious and terrifying voice, "Chen Mo, you forced me to abandon my physical body. Even without a physical body, I will never let you go. Today, I will use the elderberry tree as a catalyst to send you all to heaven."

The moment the words fell, countless elder trees in the palace suddenly surged, cracking the entire palace grounds and turning them into nourishment for the elder trees. The towering trees, like demons, swept and pressed down on Chen Mo and Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing tensed up slightly, saying, "Husband, this person has started burning his soul. He's activating the elderberry tree to try and take us all down with him."

Chen Mo's expression remained indifferent. "It doesn't matter. She's been cursed by my Underworld Blood Curse, so there's no way she can escape."

After saying that, Chen Mo bit his finger and clasped his hands together.

"Red Moon Palace, descend!"

Boom!

Suddenly, a magnificent red moon palace appeared in the void, hanging upside down in mid-air, shining with red light.

Immediately afterwards, a path to the underworld extended from the Red Moon Palace and descended below the palace.

In an instant, an aura of death permeated the entire palace. A thick mist hung in the air, connecting it to the underworld.

Chen Mo's voice resounded across the sky.

"The blood curse of the underworld illuminates the River of Oblivion, opening the road to the Yellow Springs."

"Xiao Nanfeng, please go to the Yellow Springs!"

The voice, carrying an eerie aura of death, crashed into Empress Xiao's soul.

Even though Empress Xiao had lost her physical body and her soul had merged into the elderberry tree, she was still bound and pulled by the Blood Curse of the Underworld. It was drawing her towards the Yellow Springs, little by little.

The power of the underworld appeared in the human world for the first time.

It was something that neither Empress Xiao's elderberry nor the fate of the nation could withstand.

At this moment, Empress Dowager Xiao felt despair for the first time.

"no no!"

"I am the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager. I cannot die, I cannot die... No!!!"

Empress Xiao let out a shrill scream, but her body was out of control. Drawn by the power of the blood curse, she manifested a spirit and walked step by step down the road to the underworld, heading towards the Red Moon Palace that was suspended in mid-air.

"I'm not reconciled!"

Bai Yujing stood at a distance, quietly watching Empress Xiao being led onto the road to the underworld, watching her step by step enter the Red Moon Palace, and then disappear completely.

Bai Yujing absorbed Nangong Ye's memories and saw the Red Moon Palace, the Road to the Underworld, and the River of Oblivion that Jiang Hongyue built when she returned to life.

The scene at that time had already deeply shocked Bai Yujing.

But Bai Yujing never expected that Chen Mo would further elevate the Red Moon Palace and the Other Shore Flower Curse based on Jiang Hongyue's work. His methods had now reached an unprecedented level.

It's just horrifying.

As Empress Xiao's soul disappeared into the Red Moon Palace, the Red Moon Palace also vanished.

The elderberries throughout the palace began to wither.

In a short time, the palace became a place of death.

Withered, towering trees; cracked earth; corpses strewn across the fields; rivers of blood flowing.

We didn't see a single living person.

Without the demonic energy of the elderberry tree blocking the way, the moonlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the palace.

The young man in blue robes still stood in the void, looking up at the moon in the sky. The wind blew his robes, making them flutter wildly.

What Bai Yujing saw was not just a young boy, but clearly a legend.

Looking back on tonight's battle, Bai Yujing was somewhat shocked.

Empress Xiao is indeed a formidable and terrifying being. If Chen Mo hadn't initially disguised himself as a twin demon to contact Empress Xiao and planted the Underworld Blood Curse on her, the battle tonight might not have ended so smoothly.

This young man's calmness, sinister nature, and ruthlessness... he can't win without any of these qualities.

Once upon a time, that boy has grown into a true legend. Whew.

Bai Yujing let out a long sigh, slowly walked up to Chen Mo, and softly said, "Husband, Xiao Nanfeng is dead."

Chen Mo nodded. "Okay. Let's go to Shou Kang Palace and see if we can find some of my second brother's clothes. We can at least bring them back and set up a cenotaph."

He had thought he would be extremely excited after killing Empress Dowager Xiao.

However, it does not.

I am very calm.

Bai Yujing nodded, and then followed Chen Mo as they appeared in the backyard of Shou Kang Palace from mid-air.

The place was full of collapsed ruins, and after searching for a long time, no fragments of Chen Wu's clothes could be found.

Left with no other choice, Chen Mo had to give up.

He appeared in mid-air in one step, gazing out of the palace. He saw a large number of imperial guards, princes, and ministers gathered outside the city. They had all come to the emperor's aid after hearing about the great commotion that night.

Bai Yujing said, "My lord, if they find out what's going on in the palace, I'm afraid the whole country will immediately descend into chaos."

Chen Mo pondered for a moment.

Although he had just told Empress Dowager Xiao that he did not care about the life and death of the people, nor whether the common people were in war.

However, Chen Mo was still unwilling to do so if it was within his capabilities.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo spoke up, "Since Empress Dowager Xiao can create puppets to control the court, so can we. I'll use an avatar to create an Empress Dowager Xiao to stabilize the court first. Then we can smoothly transition the reins to Su Yuqing."

Bai Yujing approved of the idea, saying, "It's a good method. But is Su Yuqing willing to inherit the throne?"

Chen Mo said, "I've discussed this matter with Su Yuqing. Although she didn't agree immediately, I can tell that she still cares about the Su family. This world originally belonged to the Su family, and returning it to Su Yuqing is like returning it to its rightful owner. Neither of us has any intention of interfering in the court, so handing it over to Su Yuqing is the best solution."

Bai Yujing said, "Alright, then so be it."

Chen Mo nodded.

He then released the incarnation of his second brother, who had long since sublimated the power of the Water Serpent and immediately transformed into Empress Xiao.

In this way, Chen Mo sent his second brother, Xiao Nanfeng, out of the palace to take control of the situation.

With Empress Dowager Xiao stepping in, controlling the situation was naturally not difficult.

On one hand, the princes and ministers of the court had long feared Empress Dowager Xiao, and on the other hand, Chen Mo's second brother, whom he had released, already possessed the strength of an ascended immortal. Even if they encountered a few who were not convinced, they could simply kill them.

Within an hour or two, the situation in the imperial court was largely under control.

……

In the palace.

Chen Mo and Bai Yujing strolled leisurely down the corridor, heading towards the back gate of the palace.

Chen Mo saw countless corpses along the way, as well as fragments of Jiang Yan's body from the explosion.

The situation in the entire palace was extremely dire.

Chen Mo was filled with emotion.

He recalled Jiang Yan's protection of him in the past, but he never expected that... Jiang Yan was also a puppet created by Empress Dowager Xiao.

This imperial court is simply not a place fit for humans.

Fortunately, all of that is now over.

The chaos of the Great Qian Dynasty has come to an end.

It was already past midnight when I left the palace. The streets were packed with people, all there to see what was going on. Many were discussing what might have happened inside the palace.

But no one noticed Chen Mo and Bai Yujing passing by, and no one even thought that... the two who caused the great upheaval in the palace tonight were the ones who ...

After walking quite a distance, Bai Yujing finally spoke, "The situation in Daqian has been stabilized. What are your plans next, my lord?"

Chen Mo sighed, "Let's see where my family is first. Once we find them, we'll have to meet them. Besides, you're practically a daughter-in-law of the Chen family now."

Bai Yujing: "..."

……

The next day.

Dramatic changes occurred in the Daqian court.

Empress Dowager Xiao stepped directly from behind the scenes to the forefront and issued several orders, imposing martial law on the capital.

They supported the Demon Suppression Division and restored the Taoist temple on Jade Capital Mountain. They also restored the Huangfu and Jiang families' residences. But at the same time, a very strange thing happened: Empress Xiao's ancestral family... the Xiao family, was actually wiped out.

Although Empress Dowager Xiao still held great power, the people in the court, though curious, dared not discuss it too much, for fear of being reprimanded or killed by Empress Dowager Xiao.

three days later.

Su Yuqing entered the capital and went to the palace.

Empress Dowager Xiao issued a decree clarifying Su Yuqing's identity and restoring her status as Princess Su Yuqing, allowing her to assist in the administration of the court.

From then on, Su Yuqing stepped into the center of the imperial stage and began to oversee the country.

For the first few days, Empress Dowager Xiao still appeared at court meetings, adhering to the custom of ruling from behind a screen.

However, Empress Dowager Xiao supported all of Su Yuqing's decisions and delegated a great deal of power to Su Yuqing.

Later, Empress Xiao disappeared from the public eye.

The power of the imperial court was basically handed over to Su Yuqing.

People could only accept Su Yuqing as her identity.

Su Yuqing was a talented individual, adept at handling court affairs and balancing various factions. She quickly acquired real power. The court officials also gradually became accustomed to Su Yuqing's rule.

Half a month later, Empress Dowager Xiao issued an edict stating that she was too old to handle state affairs and promulgated her abdication edict, completely handing over power to Su Yuqing.

From then on, Empress Xiao completely disappeared from the historical stage.

Nobody has ever seen it.

Many people still care about Empress Dowager Xiao and try to pay her a visit.

There are quite a few such voices.

Suddenly one day...

News of Empress Dowager Xiao's death arrived.

Died of old age.

Su Yuqing was given a state funeral.

In reality, the body buried was not Empress Xiao at all, but an unidentified corpse.

Thus, the Great Qian Dynasty had no more Empress Dowager Xiao.

Only Su Yuqing.
