My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

"Come with me!"

Su Yue walked past Qi Yu and then went down from the pavilion. Qi Yu followed behind Su Yue as instructed.

The two went down to the next floor, and without any warning, Su Yue turned around and slapped Qi Yu across the face.

"What about the child?"

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Qi Yu's mouth. Su Yue's slap was really hard because Su Yue was really angry!

"You backed down? Seeing that it's the Great Yun Dynasty, your servility has awakened, hasn't it? One sentence from Li Muchen and you stopped in your tracks, hasn't it?" Su Yue questioned coldly.

Qi Yu remained silent, because his current explanations were weak; he had indeed failed to bring his child back.

Seeing Qi Yu like this, Su Yue frowned even more deeply and turned her head away in disappointment.

"I will use my power to take my child back. I will crush the Great Yun Dynasty and the Xuanzong Emperor. I will make Lin Ruoxi wish she were dead!"

Su Yue's icy voice echoed, emanating overwhelming killing intent and rage.

If she hadn't been so weak, giving Lin Ruoxi an opportunity, Lin Ruoxi wouldn't have been able to get close to her at all, given her strength.

“Give me some time, and I will bring the child back!” Qi Yu said.

"No need. You're a coward. I won't trust you anymore. I will use my own strength to take back my child," Su Yue said coldly.

Qi Yu felt terrible, knowing that Su Yue's emotions were very unstable because of the child.

Ultimately, he failed to protect Su Yue and their child, and failed to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a husband.

"You can leave now, I don't want to see you for the time being!" Su Yue said.

Qi Yu remained silent for a long while before speaking softly, "I want to see Wen'er!"

The child's name was decided before the child was even born.

The boy's name is Qi Ji, and the girl's name is Qi Wen.

Su Yue was carrying twins, a boy and a girl, so the two names were just right.

Su Yue neither objected nor agreed, remaining silent, which was taken as tacit consent.

Upon reaching the top floor again, Qi Yu looked at the sleeping child in the cradle, and something seemed to touch a chord in his heart, softening his gaze.

This is my child with Su Yue. If Qi Ji were still alive, he would probably be sleeping next to Qi Wen!

Qi Yu wanted to reach out and hug her, but Su Yue stopped him.

"She just fell asleep, don't touch her, she'll cry again if she wakes up!" Su Yue tried to keep her tone gentle so as not to wake the child.

Qi Yu withdrew his hand, then turned and walked towards the stairwell without lingering.

"You don't need to conquer the Great Yun Dynasty, I can do it myself!"

Qi Yu's calm voice came from the stairwell. Su Yue's eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything or show any reaction.

Qi Yu is very strong; he is capable of crushing the Dayun Dynasty. However, the Dayun Dynasty has Lin Ruoxi and Emperor Xuanzong, so Qi Yu's chances of winning are very small.

……

After saying goodbye to Su Chengying and Xu Shuqin, Qi Yu left Blood God Island and headed north to the Great Qing Dynasty.

Two days have passed since the child was taken away. Although Qi Yu is making preparations, the Dayun Dynasty is no ordinary force.

In the Great Qing Dynasty, Qi Yu met his elder brother, Qi Lin.

He's here to help; the intelligence network on the first floor is no joke, he already knows everything.

"How do you plan to attack?" Qi Lin asked.

After pondering for a moment, Qi Yu said, "I need my elder brother's help!"

"How can we help?" Qi Lin asked.

With the child in Lin Ruoxi's care, he was hesitant to act freely due to concerns about potential harm.

Otherwise, he could sweep through the entire Great Yun Dynasty by himself without any problem. Those so-called armies would be nothing more than a thought to him.

However, such a large-scale massacre would have a negative impact on Taoism, and Qi Yu did not want to do so unless absolutely necessary.

The problem now is to determine the child's exact location!

……

On February 15th, the Great Wu Dynasty marched eastward, repelled the army of the Great Yun Dynasty stationed in the Great Yue Dynasty, and helped the Great Yue Dynasty recover lost territory.

At the same time, Duling Pass also dispatched its elite troops to begin besieging the pass.

Under the cannons and crossbows of the Divine Artillery Battalion, Duling Pass quickly fell.

Qinghe County fell, and the three counties of Qinghe County fell into the hands of the Great Qing Dynasty.

The Great Yun Dynasty was focused on expansion, which left it with a depleted internal strength. It needed manpower to guard the conquered territories, so the internal weakness was inevitable.

The Great Yun Dynasty was very strong, but it seemed much weaker than the Great Qing Dynasty.

Because the weapons used by the Great Qing Dynasty were designed by Qi Yu and Mo Wen, and there were also cannons that could threaten Grandmasters.

Qi Yu had already learned how to fight against a grandmaster using the strength of an ordinary person.

To address this, Qi Yu designed a rapid-fire siege crossbow, which, when combined with gunpowder, could kill a Grandmaster.

All the inadequacy and fear stem from insufficient firepower.

If the crossbow bolts are fired fast and densely enough, even a master cannot dodge them.

Truth lies within range!

Emperor Xuanzong did send three grandmasters, but all of them died at Duling Pass. One was riddled with arrows, while the other two were killed by cannon fire.

The Great Qing Dynasty did not send out a single Grandmaster; instead, a force of five thousand men, armed with weapons, managed to kill three Grandmasters.

This achievement is astonishing.

Grandmasters are no longer unattainable!

Qinghe County fell too quickly; Li Muchen couldn't even send Ju Dui as reinforcements.

He originally thought that having three grandmasters would be enough to defend Duling Pass, but now facts have proven him wrong.

Li Ming was also stunned and speechless. He knew Qi Yu was powerful, but he never expected Qi Yu to be that powerful.

The current strength of the Great Yun Dynasty, which swept across three countries, is directly related to the design blueprints left by Qi Yu.

Those blueprints elevated the fighting capabilities of the Dayun Dynasty's army to a new level.

I thought that Qi Yu designing those things was already a pipe dream, but I never expected that Qi Yu could make something even stronger.

Late at night, Li Muchen and Li Ming sat facing each other in the palace, discussing state affairs.

The strength of the Great Qing Dynasty exceeded their expectations.

It could also be said that Qi Yu's situation was more troublesome than expected.

Chapter Seventy-Three: Corpse God Transformation

"By the way, what about Qi Yu's child? Where is he now?"

As they were talking, Li Muchen suddenly asked a question.

Lin Ruoxi is not under his jurisdiction, so the child's fate is up to Lin Ruoxi, and he cannot interfere. Therefore, he really doesn't know where the child is.

"At the Lin residence, but for some reason, the child keeps crying and fussing. Lin Ruoxi has no way to deal with it and can only forcefully use her inner energy to make the child fall asleep." Li Ming seemed to have a headache as well, frowning as he spoke.

Li Muchen shook his head and sighed, "Just don't let our attempt to steal a chicken backfire. This move of ours has undoubtedly caused us to completely fall out with Qi Yu!"

Li Ming nodded with a wry smile and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Qi Yu has always been on the opposite side of us! If we want to move forward, we're bound to offend him."

As the father and son were talking, Li Muchen suddenly sensed something, abruptly turned his head, and looked from the observatory towards the Lin residence.

"Father, what's wrong?" Li Ming asked in surprise.

Li Muchen did not answer, because it was unnecessary; it was obvious to everyone.

The Lin residence quickly froze, turning the entire mansion into a giant ice ball.

"Qi Yu, he's here!" Li Muchen said with a solemn expression.

Li Ming also looked grave, then turned around and said, "I'll go and mobilize troops to encircle and annihilate them!"

"No need, it's useless!" Li Muchen stopped Li Ming, looked at the Lin residence, and said solemnly, "It's useless for the Quasi-Saint to use an army to encircle and suppress them, let alone Qi Yu."

Even before he became a sage, Qi Yu was already unafraid of armies.

His true energy has a wide range and is very powerful; no matter how many soldiers go to him, they will die.

Most importantly, Qi Yu possesses the ability to summon heavenly fire.

If those heavenly fires were to fall upon the capital city, the entire city would be reduced to ashes.

Given Qi Yu's status and position, he shouldn't do such a thing, but the current Qi Yu is a madman, and he doesn't dare to gamble.

"Let's see if Xuanzong can withstand it!" Li Muchen said.

"A Spirit Gathering Saint, how unattainable!"

Li Muchen's words revealed an indescribable envy and shock, as well as envy.

He knew Qi Yu was very talented, but he never expected that he would reach the Quasi-Saint realm at such a young age.

If I hadn't fallen out with Qi Yu back then, would things have turned out differently today?

will not!

Because starting with Su Chengying, he began to plot against Taoism.

The Great Yun Dynasty has no need for Taoism; its existence will only be a stumbling block.

However, things aren't bad now; at least Lin Ruoxi is at the level of a near-saint.

So far, only Lin Ruoxi and Qi Yu have displayed the power of a near-saint.

Qi Yu was blessed by the previous head of the sect, which is why he broke through to the level of a second saint.

Lin Ruoxi, on the other hand, truly broke through to the level of Quasi-Saint through her own efforts.
