It's time to become a fairy.

Compared to the performances of the professional musicians in the Heavenly Court, Ye Qingge's skills were only at the beginner level. However, what the celestial officials cared about more than the music was the profound meaning in Ye Qingge's words!

She had just performed a song in the Heavenly Court before... What was Su Qing'er's situation when she first came to the Heavenly Court?

The traitorous Emperor Taihuang was still in power; even though he hadn't truly seized control of the entire Heavenly Court, he was still the Supreme Emperor. His single command stirred up countless celestial and divine races, launching a swift and decisive attack against Su Qing'er's arrival.

At this moment, when the music played on the way here was played, the ordinary clan leaders and chiefs of the myriad races might not have understood the meaning, but the celestial officials who had been in the Heavenly Court immediately understood Ye Qingge's meaning. Their expressions changed slightly, and they all began to ponder and make plans.

Amidst the celebratory atmosphere of the coronation ceremony, countless undercurrents began to surge.

In a secluded corner of the Lingxiao Palace.

After the initial ceremony, the subsequent celebrations were less restrictive, and people were free to move around. However, the gods and immortals generally did not stray too far, but only stayed near their original positions.

The clan leaders who had previously stood up against Ye Qingge's ideas moved little by little and "coincidentally" gathered together. On the surface, they remained calm, but in secret, they had already begun to communicate with each other through telepathy.

The Zhu Yan clan chief, who was in the position of head among all clan chiefs and leaders, transmitted his voice and asked, "Have you all completed your preparations?"

"It's already done. Our clan is ready to return to His Majesty's command as a whole. We're just waiting for the moment to strike to sever all spatial arrays, modify spatial coordinates, and connect only to His Majesty's Northern Heavenly Court!" A burly clan leader with a minotaur's head nodded, a solemn expression on his face.

The others nodded in agreement: "The escape route and preparations have been arranged. We are just waiting for Chief Zhu's command to begin the operation!"

Zhu Yan was the first in his race to pledge allegiance to Taihuang. Although he was not the strongest among the clan leaders, he was still among the top. As Taihuang's most trusted clan leader, he was practically the head of all the clan leaders.

A ruthless glint flashed in Zhu Yan's eyes, and wisps of black power emerged from the depths of his eyes before quickly receding. He said coldly, "Execute the original plan. Use the flaw in the Heavenly Court's grand formation to open it, let His Majesty's people in, and kill this little girl in one fell swoop!"

"I didn't want to make a move so soon, but since this little girl isn't giving us any chance, then don't blame us for being impolite... Let her become the shortest-reigning emperor in history. When all the imperial bloodlines are wiped out, and only Her Majesty remains as the sole bloodline, these hypocritical celestial officials of the Heavenly Court will have no choice but to welcome Her Majesty back. That will be our day of triumph!"

A tribal chief with an elephant-shaped trunk nodded and said, "Don't worry, we understand. If we just endure this, we'll only be executed by this little girl anyway. We might as well fight to the death. We're willing to risk everything to bring down the Heavenly Emperor!"

"very good!"

Zhu Yan revealed a slight smile and said, "Now... let's move out!"

The group that had gathered together immediately dispersed and headed towards various parts of the Lingxiao Palace.

At this moment, the melodious sound of the guqin rang out from the imperial throne. Zhu Yan looked at Ye Qingge playing the guqin and a look of disdain appeared in his heart: "The dignified Heavenly Emperor actually does the things that a lower god would do. It is simply against the principles of respect and hierarchy. As expected, she is just a concubine's daughter, yet she wants to compete with His Majesty Taihuang, the legitimate son of the Emperor and Empress."

"If I let you have your momentary advantage, it won't be long before His Majesty returns to the throne. Let's see how long you can keep jumping around then!"

Strands of black lines reappeared around Zhu Yan's eyes. Fortunately, Zhu Yan reacted quickly and managed to conceal the strange phenomenon. After greeting several familiar clan leaders, he quietly made his way to another corner of the Lingxiao Palace.

According to the information he obtained, there was a flaw in the array node on the wall of this palace.

The method of exploiting the flaws in a formation, which a court formation master had secretly taught him, surfaced in his mind. After reviewing it several times and confirming that there were no problems, the Zhu Yan clan chief flipped his hand and took out a small bead from his spiritual ring.

When divine power was channeled into it, countless fine lines suddenly illuminated the bead, as if it contained a small world within. A close look at it was enough to captivate the mind and soul.

In the Lingxiao Palace, a place where immortals gathered, no one dared to rashly spread their divine sense. Taking advantage of this moment, after confirming that no one was observing them, the Zhu Yan clan chief quietly held the bead in his hand and gently shone it on the palace wall a few times. Fine, shimmering patterns emanated from the bead, and when it shone on a certain spot, the array patterns on the palace immediately showed signs of scorching, quickly breaking through a small, damaged node.

"It's done!"

A glint of excitement flashed in his eyes. The Heavenly Court's array formation was extremely rigorous and highly forgiving; a tiny flaw wouldn't even affect it. This was exactly what he needed. He only needed to wait until most of the array's weaknesses were triggered, then unleash a special attack that would be enough to blast the entire Lingxiao Palace into the sky, and even have a significant impact on the Heavenly Court's entire array formation!

The moment before the Heavenly Court's formation is fully repaired is the best time to destroy it, and it is much easier to destroy than usual!

He took two deep breaths to calm himself down. After carefully examining the formation for a while and confirming that it had been broken, he slowly started to walk towards the next location. However, before he had taken two steps, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the broken formation trembled twice, and then rapidly healed itself at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the flaw had never existed at all.

"The array nodes have healed? Is it the array's automatic repair function? But... that court array master said quite a bit that the array is currently under maintenance and its healing ability is extremely poor. Is this really considered an extremely poor healing ability?"

Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, then cursed inwardly. Once a weakness in the formation was exposed and repaired, it would automatically change position, and after several changes, it would slowly heal. Clearly, the calculated node was no longer usable. Unfortunately, he knew nothing about formations, and no matter how angry he was, it was useless. He could only curse his bad luck and move on to the next location.

The second flaw was on a decorative pillar. He searched for it with a small bead, and in less than a breath, he saw the nodes connecting the countless patterns inside suddenly break. But it healed just as quickly. In less than a breath, the flaw in the array was completely healed under his perception.

"What the hell is this healing speed?!"

Zhu Yan vaguely sensed something was amiss, but couldn't pinpoint its source, so he cursed under his breath and continued on to the next location.

The third place, the fourth place, the fifth place...

In the midst of the chaos, the weak points within the Lingxiao Palace's formation that could be breached were all minor flaws, unlikely to affect the overall operation of the formation. Only when all the flaws combined and erupted simultaneously would they impact the Heavenly Court's formation within the Lingxiao Palace.

It would be one thing if it happened once or twice, but every time the formation was repaired after he broke through, it would change to a location he didn't know about. Even if he was stupid, he would have noticed the abnormality.

In another corner

When he reached the corner, he saw several clan leaders with equally gloomy expressions, and his heart sank.

"You guys too... never mind, judging from your expressions, I think I understand what's going on."

Zhu Yan frowned, about to ask a question via telepathy, but upon seeing their expressions, he immediately understood everything. This so-called flaw in the formation was simply a trap, impossible to complete!

Countless thoughts raced through his mind. The time for the end of the ceremony was drawing ever closer. Just as he was beginning to abandon the plan and start plotting how to escape, the melodious zither music that had been resounding throughout the Lingxiao Palace finally stopped.

The bead in his hand accidentally touched the wall behind him, creating another weak point. But he didn't care at all, giving it a cold glance before looking away. After a few breaths, seeing that the weak point hadn't changed, the Zhu Yan clan chief couldn't help but take a second look, then a third, a fourth... Slowly, he fixed his gaze on the small breach.

"what happened?"

The chieftain with the bull's head and human body followed the gaze, and after several breaths, seeing that the wound had not healed, he showed surprise. The gazes of the other chieftains beside him were also drawn to it, and they showed a hint of excitement.

Can the flaws in the formation finally be exploited?

Compared to the excitement of the others, Zhu Yan, who was the first to notice this, had already detached himself from his initial excitement and pondered, "Why is the formation that healed so quickly just now not healing now? What has changed since then... Right, it was the zither music. When did the zither music stop?"

He suddenly realized something and looked towards the throne, only to see Ye Qingge's ambiguous smile fixed on them. His body stiffened instantly.

Chapter 105 The Reappearance of Taihuang, Unity of Heavenly Soul and Humanity

Countless cold sweats instantly soaked through his back. Even the cleansing array that came with the magnificent spiritual robes couldn't wipe away the flowing sweat. He felt as if he had been pulled out of the water, and a chill rose from his feet and rushed to the top of his head, making him shiver violently.

"I wonder what brings you all huddled in this small corner, or what difficulties you've encountered?"

Ye Qingge spoke with a faint smile, her voice calm and friendly, giving people a kind and amiable feeling, but in the eyes of the Zhu Yan clan chief, it was like the smile of a devil.

His face stiffened slightly, his mind racing as he frantically searched for a solution. He stammered, "Your Majesty, I am currently..."

"Damn it, do it!"

Countless immortals and gods focused their gazes on him, noticing out of the corner of their eyes the subtle fluctuations emanating from among the immortals and gods of Lingxiao Palace.

The Zhu Yan clan chief reacted immediately. Ye Qingge had probably already seen through his plan; the music she played earlier was just a pretense to hinder his cultivation and disrupt the formation in order to buy time.

It's likely that a large number of troops have already been deployed among these immortals and gods, just waiting for an order to carry out the arrest!

Although it was well hidden, so much so that the Zhu Yan clan chief didn't notice it immediately, after calming down, the premonition of danger in his mind made him realize that danger was approaching.

With a roar, the Zhu Yan clan chief, no longer hesitating, threw the bead in his hand fiercely onto the ground. The array within the bead erupted, the small bead containing terrifying array power. As countless intricate patterns spread, the array within a radius of several hundred meters simultaneously struggled to function. Countless nodes, large and small, shattered, significantly impacting the operation of the entire Lingxiao Palace's array.

"Take action now and capture the traitor!"

A low shout rang out from among the celestial officials. The leader of the heavenly soldiers and generals, who had been hiding among the celestial officials, realized that he could no longer conceal himself. He suddenly rushed out from between two celestial officials. With a wave of his hand, countless streams of light gathered from his spiritual ring and gradually formed the shape of a Dao artifact spear in his hand, which he thrust straight at the Zhu Yan clan chief.

"Hurry up and do it."

The Zhu Yan clan chief roared, his immortal robes were torn apart, and he transformed into a creature nearly three meters tall, with a white head and red feet, resembling an ape. Four large canine teeth protruded from his upper and lower jaws, and his fan-like dark red hands grabbed the shaft of the attacking spear.

The captain leading the group was a celestial being at the fourth level of the Dao Realm. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he exerted his strength, trying to thrust the spear forward. However, the spear remained motionless. Despite the surging power, it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea. Although the Zhu Yan clan chief was merely a tribal chief at the third level of the Dao Realm, he had somehow managed to inflict a considerable loss on him.

Is that strange?

The Zhu Yan clan chief grinned, revealing his teeth, but his expression became even more ferocious: "The most powerful ones are yet to come. So what if you're a Dao Realm Fourth Heaven Immortal? Die!"

Countless black threads spread out in his eyes. This time, he did not continue to conceal himself, but fully activated the transformation within his body. The corrosive aura of the demonic seed spread out, and the white fur on his body instantly turned black, transforming into black hair. His entire body also exhibited many demonic abnormalities.

Its body was twisted, its eyes were pitch black, and irregular twisting marks appeared on its red skin. The power on its body sometimes turned into mist and sometimes condensed into a solid. Given the difference between the ethereal and the real, Ye Qingge looked at it and found it to be very similar to the fallen beasts she had seen in the wasteland of the real world, but it had more variations than the fallen beasts and was obviously of a higher level.

At the same time, behind the Zhu Yan clan chief, the beads in the hands of the other clan chiefs finally pelted various parts of the Lingxiao Palace.

The Zhu Yan clan chief had already chosen this spot for his bead, so the other clan chiefs naturally wouldn't waste their beads here. They all threw their beads to other places not far away. The speed was extremely fast, and the beads had a certain spatial attribute. The attacks of the heavenly soldiers and generals couldn't even touch these special beads before they landed in their designated positions.

Countless fine lines erupted, and the Heavenly Court Formation within the Lingxiao Palace collapsed on a large scale, with the aura of the formation rapidly weakening.

Although it sounds slow, it actually only took a few breaths before hundreds of heavenly soldiers and generals finally rushed out from the hiding places of countless celestial officials and surrounded more than ten clan leaders. A great battle was about to break out!

One by one, the clan leaders unleashed their power, their original righteous cultivation auras vanishing instantly, replaced by demonic power similar to that of the Zhu Yan clan leader. Their entire being underwent an unknown and bizarre transformation; their bodies twisted, no longer resembling their original races, only their blurry outlines barely revealing their original origins.

A terrifying aura spread out. This power was extremely corrosive, making the heavenly soldiers and generals feel restricted in their fighting. Whenever their own spiritual energy artifacts came into contact with the opponent, they would be contaminated. They had to constantly expel this power, or even destroy a part of their artifacts, in order to prevent this contamination from seeping into their bodies, which consumed a great deal of energy.

Despite having absolute dominance, the hundreds of celestial soldiers and generals were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle against the clan leaders, whose highest strength was only at the fourth level of the Dao Realm. They were unable to defeat these clan leaders.

Ye Qingge watched this scene calmly, but for some reason, a faint sense of unease suddenly arose in her heart, as if there was a crisis she had not expected lurking in the shadows.

"Taihuang's backup plan has not yet been fully revealed... Well, if it could have been handled so easily, the system wouldn't have specifically highlighted it."

Narrowing her eyes, Ye Qingge calmly said, "Let's finish this quickly and deal with them as soon as possible."

"I will obey Your Majesty's command!"

The guard at the North Gate of Heaven's Heavenly Court's eyes lit up, and he seized the opportunity to rush forward, unleashing his cultivation at the peak of the fourth level of the Dao Realm. While a clan leader with a cultivation at the third level of the Dao Realm was entangled in a battle with the heavenly soldiers and generals, he unleashed a sword strike, easily cleaving the clan leader in two. Even his soul was not spared, and it was scattered and destroyed in a single blow.

The immortals and gods who were about to step forward immediately stopped in their tracks, secretly regretting that they had not been able to seize this good opportunity to perform well in front of His Majesty.

The commander immediately revealed a smug smile, but this smile did not last long before it froze on his face.

The slain clan leader's body rapidly transformed into countless black demonic seeds, collapsing towards the center to form a massive vortex. The vortex appeared and disappeared just as quickly. In the span of two breaths, it completely vanished, leaving only a sea-blue gem suspended in mid-air, spinning rapidly.

Countless black demonic powers formed intricate lines within the pearl, and the sound of surging waves emanated from within it. When the last wisp of demonic power was completely devoured, the waves surged forth in a powerful surge.

Do you think death is the end? No, this is just the beginning!

Zhu Yan revealed a strange smile, suddenly gave up resisting, and let the captain of the heavenly soldiers and generals in front of him pierce his chest with a spear, strangling all the life force in his body. He did not show the slightest fear. Instead, he reached out and pulled the captain to his position.

The captain's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to let go, he saw Zhu Yan's body suddenly begin to swell, and the power of the demonic seed surged out overwhelmingly, sweeping towards him.

"Only Taihuang is the true heir of the former emperor. You little brat on the throne, just watch! The emperor is coming soon, and your end is near!"

Zhu Yan laughed loudly, and the last head transformed into black demonic power that swept over the captain.

The demonic power came and went quickly, remaining on the captain for less than a breath before collapsing inward and turning into a vortex, absorbed by the same azure bead. However, this brief contact left numerous marks of demonic invasion on the captain's body, with countless black demonic energies visibly corroding every part of his body.

Even with the willpower specially trained by heavenly soldiers and generals, he couldn't help but cry out in pain, his face showing a look of agony. It wasn't until Ye Qingge's zither music rang out again that the erosion on his body was dissolved.

Ignoring his physical pain, he looked inside and saw that one after another, the clan leaders, like the Zhu Yan clan leader, chose to commit suicide while laughing. Their bodies transformed into countless demonic seeds and merged into the sea-blue beads. This scene happened too fast. One moment they were fighting bravely with everyone, and the next moment they chose to commit suicide.

Before anyone could react, they all perished, their bodies and souls scattered!

Countless azure beads began to spin, and the sound of surging waves echoed throughout the hall. Countless seawater surged out from the beads, and the seawater surged out from the more than ten beads, converging at the center where it suddenly stopped and disappeared, as if entering another space.

The anomaly occurred extremely quickly. Among the celestial officials, those who were closest to the target instinctively unleashed their divine powers and spells, but these beads seemed not to exist in this space, and the attacks of the celestials could not touch the beads at all. Some celestials had already sensed something and immediately activated the formation to seal the space, but these beads were located precisely where the formation was broken.

The array's sealing effect was completely ineffective against the bead. None of the remaining immortals and gods were particularly skilled in the Dao of Space, so even if they all attacked together, it was to no avail; they were simply unable to suppress the bead's special properties.

Before everyone's eyes, a vast spatial vortex slowly unfolded within the Lingxiao Palace. Countless seawater poured in, and an indescribable aura of death and destruction emanated from it, causing all the immortals to shiver involuntarily.

"Where all the waters converge...this is the passage to the Ruins of Return!"

The Great Sun Star Lord exclaimed in shock, his face changing drastically: "This is the work of the traitorous Emperor Taihuang! Where are the heavenly soldiers and generals? Quickly, someone come to protect His Majesty!"
