Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Upon hearing Liu Qingqiu's answer, Mu Yunxi simply smiled faintly, not taking it seriously at all.

If Lu Chen really dies on the battlefield, the two of them will no longer have a common enemy, and Liu Qingqiu will most likely turn against her.

If they don't have a common enemy, then they are the enemy.

Of course, that's all in the future. First, we need to deal with Lu Chen, our most formidable enemy. If Lu Chen is still alive, neither of them will be able to achieve their goal or leave this world.

at the same time.

Yancheng.

This morning, Yancheng was shrouded in dark clouds. The thick clouds pressed down on Yancheng, making it seem as if the sky was about to collapse.

The air was also very stuffy, and people found it difficult to breathe.

This wasn't some kind of atmosphere created to indicate impending danger; rather, it was because Chu Yuqin had activated the Seven Killings Protective Array, which was frantically absorbing spiritual energy, causing the strange phenomenon in the sky and making the air feel very stuffy.

Chu Yuqin and the others had already received the news that those sects and forces would come to attack Yancheng today, so they made preparations early in the morning.

At this very moment, the sects led by the Tianwu Sect were also ready, and they had gathered in a forest a few kilometers away from Yancheng.

They will attack Yancheng immediately upon receiving a command.

After an unknown amount of time, a yellow flag suddenly appeared on the city gate of Yancheng. Upon seeing this flag, Yuan Tian immediately said to the people from other sects, "Empress Yue has begun her operation. She will soon lure out that Celestial Being from Yancheng. It's time for us to make our move!"

With that, Yuan Tian led a group of sect disciples directly towards Yan City.

A moment later, two figures appeared in the sky above Yancheng, and they seemed to be fighting. After a while, the two figures appeared outside Yancheng.

The Emperor Yue, dressed in a phoenix robe, was chasing after a woman dressed in green.

When the two figures appeared outside Yan City, Yuan Tian immediately said to Si Yuhua and Zou Yangping, "Emperor Yue has lured out the celestial being guarding Yan City. Let's attack together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Tian followed behind Yue Huang, chasing after the woman in green.

Seeing that Yuan Tiandu had taken the initiative to give chase, Si Yuhua and Zou Yangping did not hesitate and quickly followed after him.

However, the woman in green seemed to have no intention of fighting head-on. She kept fleeing towards the forest east of Yan City, and she was moving very fast.

Si Yuhua and Zou Yangping also gradually sensed that something was wrong. Since this celestial being was left by the Xia Emperor to guard Yancheng, shouldn't she be directly guarding Yancheng if it was in danger? Why is she running away so fast now?

If this celestial being escapes, Yan City will likely fall, and Lu Chen's wives, concubines, and children will fall into the hands of their sect's forces. When Lu Chen returns, won't he cause trouble for this celestial being?

Or perhaps this celestial being knew she was no match for them, so she simply abandoned Yancheng. As for Lu Chen's wives, concubines, and children, she didn't care anymore; as long as she was alive, that was enough.

If that's the case, then it seems there's no need for them to keep chasing after this celestial being. Anyway, when Lu Chen returns and sees that Yan City has been occupied by sect forces and his wives, concubines, and children have fallen into the hands of others, he certainly won't let that celestial being go.

Just as Zou Yangping was about to tell Yuan Tian that they didn't need to continue the pursuit, the woman in green suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Zou Yangping and Si Yuhua were taken aback.

They initially thought the woman had no intention of fighting them, but just as they were about to let her go, she suddenly stopped.

After Yun Xianxian stopped, Li Qingrou also stopped in mid-air. At this moment, Zou Yangping and Si Yuhua were completely unaware that they had fallen into a trap.

Si Yuhua said, "Young lady, although I don't know which sect you belong to, if you can see the error of your ways and leave the tyrant's side, we will not attack you."

Yun Xianxian did not respond to Si Yuhua's words, but instead gave Si Yuhua and Zou Yangping a cold glance.

She then said coldly, "It's a waste of my time to travel so far just to make a move for two mere celestial beings."

Hearing Yun Xianxian's words, Si Yuhua and Zou Yangping were taken aback.

For the sake of two celestial beings?

Two? Including Emperor Yue, aren't there four celestial beings on their side? Why would this woman say there are only two?

Suddenly, they seemed to realize something and immediately became alert.

However, it was all too late. At that moment, Yuan Tian suddenly made his move and pierced Si Yuhua's body with his sword.

Si Yuhua coughed up a mouthful of blood and instantly understood what was happening.

"Yuan Tian...you!"

Zou Yangping also realized that something was wrong. He quickly attacked Yuan Tian, ​​but Yuan Tian dodged and instantly distanced himself from the two of them.

At this moment, Yun Xianxian, Li Qingrou, and Xia Tianyuan formed a triangle, and Zou Yangping and Si Yuhua were in the middle of this triangle.

Zou Yangping angrily rebuked, "Yuan Tian, ​​Emperor Yue, what do you mean by this?!"

Xia Tianyuan then smiled and said, "Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Xia Tianyuan. I was the former sect leader of the Luoyang Sword Sect and am now the dean of Luoyang Academy."

As they spoke, Xia Tianyuan's true appearance was revealed. After seeing Xia Tianyuan's true face, even a fool would understand what was going on.

Si Yuhua, clutching her still-bleeding wound, weakly said, "So all of this was the tyrant's conspiracy!"

Although Si Yuhua was stabbed by Xia Tianyuan, she was a celestial being and not so easy to kill.

However, in the current situation, even if Si Yuhua is completely unharmed, with their combined strength, they would probably have difficulty dealing with three Celestials, one of whom is a Celestial who has comprehended sword intent.

Si Yuhua then continued, "I'm very curious, why didn't the tyrant take action directly when we were in the old city!"

Xia Tianyuan had known about the plans of these sects for a long time. If the tyrant wanted to get rid of them, he could have just sent people to the old city to deal with the two of them. There was no need to wait until now to take action.

Xia Tianyuan replied with a smile, "Our Emperor is a benevolent ruler. He will not kill people casually without solid evidence."

Upon hearing Xia Tianyuan's reply, Zou Yangping sneered, "What a load of rubbish about a benevolent ruler! Utterly hypocritical!"

The tyrant even sent Xia Tianyuan to lure them into rebellion. What benevolence and righteousness are we talking about? This tyrant clearly wants to find a legitimate reason to eliminate these sects and forces.

Now that these sects have rebelled on their own initiative, the tyrant can take action directly without waiting for the sects to disband.

Xia Tianyuan said, "Alright, now that you two know what happened, let me send you on your way!" (End of Chapter)
