A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

The loud shout echoed throughout the entire city of Saint-Deli, reaching the ears of every monk and commoner who had come to watch.

The tens of thousands of onlookers in the square were instantly stunned. The whole place was in an uproar, and everyone looked bewildered and at a loss.

Everyone was completely bewildered and couldn't understand the situation at all.

Just moments ago, it was the highly anticipated grand competition and investiture ceremony, but how did two empresses, one real and one fake, suddenly appear in the blink of an eye? This sudden change caught everyone off guard!

Among the crowd, many veteran cultivators and elders of noble families came to their senses, their eyes fixed on Eliza as she removed her veil, their voices trembling as they exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right! This really is Empress Eliza! I was fortunate enough to witness her ruling the capital and handling state affairs in person!"

"Absolutely right! That face, that aura, that inner strength—no one else could fake it!"

"My God! If this is the real Empress, then who is the one on the high platform, wearing a veil? What gives her the right to usurp the Empress's position and control the capital?!"

Discussions erupted everywhere, with feelings of doubt, shock, and anger sweeping through the entire venue.

Listening to the chaotic discussions around him, Chen Yang had long since lost all patience.

With a flicker, he transformed into a streak of light, instantly traversing dozens of feet of void and appearing directly in front of the imposter empress.

Before the other party could react, Chen Yang raised his hand and waved it, a sharp gust of wind directly blowing away the thin veil on the other party's face!

A stunningly beautiful, familiar, and deeply etched face suddenly came into view!

It was Liu Nianqiu!

However, although Liu Nianqiu looked no different from usual, her temperament was completely different. Her clear, cold eyes were empty and indifferent, devoid of their usual gentleness and liveliness. Her gaze was icy and distant as she stared intently at Chen Yang in front of her, without the slightest familiarity or emotional fluctuation.

She neither attacked nor spoke, but stood quietly in place, staring blankly at Chen Yang, as if her husband were a complete stranger.

Looking into her unfamiliar, cold eyes, Chen Yang's heart tightened, a mixture of bitterness and confusion washing over him. He couldn't help but speak softly, his voice trembling slightly: "Third Sister Nianqiu...it really is you! What happened to you? Why have you become like this?"

Upon hearing this incredibly affectionate old address, Liu Nianqiu shuddered violently, her delicate body trembling slightly.

But the next moment, the emptiness in her eyes was replaced by a strong impatience. Her gaze suddenly turned cold, and her fingertips stirred with spiritual energy, ready to strike. She was actually planning to attack Chen Yang!

Just at this critical moment, a beautiful figure swiftly broke through the air and landed steadily between the two!

It's Liu Qingxia!

At this moment, Liu Qingxia stared intently at Liu Nianqiu in front of her, her eyes surging with extreme excitement, deep doubt, and even more so, the ecstatic joy of regaining what she had lost.

Her greatest regret in life was the separation from her sisters; she had long believed that she and her youngest sister would never meet again. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect to see her long-lost third sister again today in the capital city of Saint-Deli on the Central Continent!

She could clearly sense that Liu Nianqiu's cultivation had increased dramatically and his foundation was unfathomable. He had long since shed his former naiveté and was far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators. Clearly, he had encountered a fortuitous event and undergone a transformation, but no one knew the reason behind it.

At this moment, Liu Qingxia had already put the battle between the real and fake empresses, the opposition between good and evil, and the hostile factions on the field to the back of her mind.

In her eyes and in her heart, there was only her long-lost younger sister!

Liu Qingxia rushed forward, her voice choked with emotion and full of anticipation, softly calling out, "Little sister! It's you! It really is you! I'm so happy, I've finally seen you again!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she reached out and tightly grasped Liu Nianqiu's small hand without hesitation.

The warm touch spread through her palm, and Liu Nianqiu's body trembled violently once again.

She looked up at Liu Qingxia, a hint of extreme impatience flashing in her eyes, even revealing a sharp and cold killing intent, and her spiritual energy instantly tensed.

But this murderous intent and indifference lasted only a moment before shattering!

Extreme pain instantly overwhelmed her mind. Her expression suddenly twisted, her eyes filled with sorrow, and her head began to throb violently, as if long-buried memories were being forcibly pried open and awakened.

"ah--!"

Liu Nianqiu couldn't help but let out a shrill scream, clutching her head tightly with both hands, her body slightly curled up, enduring the extreme pain in her soul, feeling utterly helpless and in agony.

Fragments of broken memories, familiar sisterly warmth, and bits and pieces of the past constantly surged and collided in her mind, tearing at her soul.

After a long while, she finally managed to lift her head, and with all her might, she whispered in a hoarse, tearful voice, "Second Sister... I'm so happy to see you again..."

Before she could finish speaking, her body went limp, her legs gave way completely, and she collapsed heavily to the ground with a thud. Her eyes closed, and she fainted completely!

The moment Liu Nianqiu's body went limp and she completely fainted, Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia moved in unison, almost tacitly stepping forward to gently lift the weak and collapsed Liu Nianqiu into their arms, their movements so as not to disturb her.

Just as the two caught Liu Nianqiu, the several ancient beasts that had been surrounding her, with their strange and mysterious aura and terrifying power, suddenly turned into wisps of black mist and vanished without a trace.

Chen Yang and Liu Qingxia looked up at each other at the same time, and a deep sense of surprise flashed across their eyes.

Only now did the two of them fully realize that these ancient beasts of unpredictable strength and mysterious origins had been closely related to Liu Nianqiu's soul and state from beginning to end.

As soon as Liu Nianqiu fell into a coma, the strange beast vanished. This bizarre connection was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

But at the moment, neither of them had the time or inclination to delve into the secrets.

No matter what extraordinary encounters Liu Nianqiu has had over the years, or how many secrets she has hidden, she has always been Liu Qingxia's blood-related third sister, and also his third wife whom Chen Yang married through proper channels and to whom he owes a great deal.

The two carefully protected the unconscious Liu Nianqiu in their arms, and with a flash, they quickly retreated from the chaotic battle in the center of the square, finding a quiet and safe place to rest.

At this moment, the Place de la Cité de Saint-Denis was in complete chaos, with a cacophony of voices and heated discussions.

As the commotion subsided, the true Queen Elizabeth, surrounded by countless monks, slowly ascended into the air.

Although her golden core was sealed and her cultivation level plummeted, losing the top combat power that once intimidated a nation, her imperial demeanor, honed over a century, and the spiritual pressure of a golden core expert remained undiminished.

Elizabeth moved lightly, standing atop the sea of ​​clouds in mid-air, her gaze sweeping over the millions of people below, her voice clear and solemn, echoing throughout the entire capital.

"My subjects, you have all witnessed today's events. The imposter empress who wreaked havoc on the court has been executed. I am the rightful Empress Elizabeth of the Kingdom of Europe!"

"The cult of omnipotence that has been rampant throughout the country for the past few years has been, from beginning to end, a shocking deception orchestrated by the Holy Fire Cult!"

"The divine blessings and sudden surge in power that you so firmly believe in are all illusions! The so-called improvement in cultivation is nothing more than a temporary, illusory reward from the Holy Fire Altar after it has plundered your essence and spirit and overdrawn your very being!"

"In time, this false strength will completely dissipate, but the essence, soul, and vital spirit that have been extracted from you can never be replenished or restored!"

"How wicked the Holy Fire Cult is! Using the masses as cannon fodder and all living beings as furnaces, they plunder the life essence of millions, all to nourish a few Golden Core experts within the cult and pursue their own selfish interests!"
