Aunt, please don't chase me. I don't want to be the emperor.

"Well…………"

Su Qingqiu made a faint but real sound from her throat, and her lower abdomen began to rise and fall. These characteristics indicated that she was regaining her breath!

After a while, Su Qingqiu's eyes slowly opened a slit, and his blood-red pupils were as bright and clear as blood crystals solidified by dripping blood.

“Um… Um, uh…”

But suddenly, Su Qingqiu's expression became painful and distorted, and the sound he made was full of pain, as if he was suffering great torture.

"Hmm?" Cheng Longjiu's expression turned puzzled. He realized that something was wrong with Su Qingqiu and immediately looked at Cheng Ying: "What's going on?"

Back when the Tianming Cult still existed, Dieying had studied the evil ghost insects and conducted experiments. Only the living would feel such pain when the evil insects controlled them; the dead wouldn't react in this way.

Moreover, Su Qingqiu's limbs were only trembling slightly, which was completely different from the situation where his limbs were twisted and dislocated due to being controlled by the evil ghost insects.

"I don't know." Cheng Ying shook her head, mumbling to herself, and responded to Cheng Longjiu intermittently: "She seems to have regained consciousness, but the consciousness of the evil ghost worm also exists."

"What did you say!?"

Cheng Longjiu and Baili Qiankun said in unison, both looking incredulous.

But before anyone present could react, Su Qingqiu's eyes suddenly flew open, and endless murderous intent and evil spirit burst out from her body, like a devastating storm!

The people on the platform were shocked and were blown away by the hurricane of mysterious energy, falling everywhere in the main tomb hall.

Cheng Longjiu fell from the platform, did a backflip and landed steadily, but immediately looked up in shock.

Su Qingqiu on the high platform sat up from the corpse bed, stood on the edge of the platform, covered his head with his hands, gritting his teeth, and the evil spirit leaked out uncontrollably, and he couldn't stop it at all.

“Ngh, ngh… Nghh ...

Su Qingqiu raised his head and roared in pain. The evil spirit that erupted caused the entire ancient tomb and even the Zaka Mountains on the ground to tremble.

However, Jiang Shang had set up a formation barrier in the main tomb hall, so although the outside world felt the vibration, no one heard Su Qingqiu's painful cry.

Spoiler color insert: [White-haired Su Luoxue]

Here is another color illustration of Su Luohua's character design. The background of the two sisters is one snow and one flower.

4.72 The Emperor's Aunt Enters the Tomb

In the innate Bagua formation of the Zaka Mountains, Su Luoxue has cracked the feng shui layout of this place, deciphered the changes in the hexagrams, and found the exact location of the entrance to the ancient tomb at this time.

Located in the northeast of the valley maze, in a seemingly inconspicuous corner.

After Su Luoxue and Ji Wan'er arrived here, Su Luoxue aimed at the ground in front of her and flicked her hand, and a formation took shape. Then the formation released brilliant sparks, flowing down like molten lava, melting the snow on the ground.

After the ice and snow melted, a bronze door on the ground appeared in front of the two women.

The two women walked to the door. Su Luoxue squatted down, placed her hand on the door, and used her spiritual power to examine it. She said, "There are no traps or mechanisms, and the door is not locked. It can be opened with force."

After saying that, Su Luoxue shook the hand that was placed on the bronze door on the ground vigorously, and the spiritual power injected into the door suddenly burst out, directly knocking the bronze door open!

The door was open on the ground, so Su Luoxue and Ji Wan'er, who were standing on it, immediately fell into the ground.

The two women entered the underground area and looked around after landing smoothly. They saw that it was pitch black. They didn't bring torches, but for masters of their level, lighting was no problem.

Just when Ji Wan'er was about to release her spiritual power to illuminate the place, unexpectedly Su Luoxue drew out the Xutian Sword from her waist and raised it gently.

The Xutian Sword emitted a faint fluorescent light, which was not enough to illuminate the surroundings, but for some reason, the surroundings were indeed not so dark anymore.

No, it’s not that the sword’s aura is bright enough, but that the darkness around it is rapidly decreasing!

Controlling light and darkness at the spatial level, this sword is...

"What is this sword of yours?"

Ji Wan'er asked bluntly, and Su Luoxue didn't hide it: "Master made it."

"Master... Taoist Pang?"

After hearing this, Ji Wan'er was no longer so surprised.

Although Ji Wan'er believed that the Galaxy Sword was the world's number one divine weapon, she was also well aware of Pang Yuanchu's high attainments in weapon cultivation. Given his abilities, it wasn't surprising that he could forge such a weapon.

Not to mention the power displayed by the Xutian Sword now, even if this sword had power that was not inferior to the Galaxy Sword, Ji Wan'er would not find it too strange, after all, it was made by Pang Yuanchu.

The brightness around them gradually increased, and their vision became clearer. The two could see the tomb passage in front of them and the murals carved on the walls of the tomb passage.

Su Luoxue and Ji Wan'er walked in it, looking at the murals on the wall.

Judging from the text and craftsmanship, these are from the Qi Dynasty, that is, the era of Jiang Shanggong. I think these things must have been carved by Jiang Shanggong.

The contents of the murals are exactly about the Qingqiu Rebellion of that year.

The Qingqiu Rebellion was the first evil disaster to hit the human race and also the most terrifying one. Even the blood sacrifice disaster twenty years ago could not be compared with the Qingqiu Rebellion.

Looking at these murals, Su Luoxue discovered that there were many things on them that they, the descendants, did not know.

For example, some secret events during the Shang Dynasty, the detailed process of the Great Qi overthrowing the tyranny, and... the decisive battle of Chaoge that year.

Chaoge was the capital of the Shang Dynasty, and its status was similar to that of Chang'an today. The decisive battle in which the Qi Dynasty overthrew the Shang Dynasty took place in Chaoge.

Su Luoxue and Ji Wan'er walked up to a mural and saw that the town in the mural had turned into a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

This sea of ​​blood and corpses is not an exaggeration, but an adjective in the literal sense.

The bodies of countless soldiers and civilians piled up into towering mountains. Within a single city, several piles of corpses grew taller than the city walls. The blood flowing from the corpses drowned Chaoge, turning it into a sea of ​​blood.

How many people must have died for such a horrific scene to occur?

Standing atop a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in the mural was a woman in white clothing and white hair, emanating a pervasive aura and looking down upon everything in the world. Beneath her feet, countless soldiers, wafting rivers of blood, charged toward the mountain of corpses, determined to annihilate this terrifyingly evil cultivator.

It goes without saying that it must be Su Qingqiu.

"Is it that exaggerated?" Ji Wan'er looked at the mural and couldn't help but say, "This is different from the history I know. My impression of the Battle of Chaoge was that not so many people died."

Su Luoxue said on the side: "History is written by the living, and the one who won and survived at that time was Jiang Shanggong."

"What did that old man Jiang Shanggong want to do by hiding this?"

"Downplay the evil cultivation."

"Downplay?"

"Hmm." Su Luoxue immediately thought of it and explained to Ji Wan'er, "After the Shang Dynasty was overthrown, Lord Jiang Shang led the entire world to oppose the idea of ​​evil cultivation. At that time, the world had suffered from the persecution of the Qingqiu Su family, so it was easy for people to accept this idea and actively respond. This also led to the same situation in later generations."

"Jiang Shang Gong told the world how terrifying and harmful the evil skills were. However, Jiang Shang Gong concealed the details of the Battle of Chaoge to prevent the evil skills from reaching their maximum impact."

"After all, a force that is too powerful will always attract attention."

It is true that Ji Wan'er is a nerd, but she is not a fool either. She is quite smart and now she understands what Su Luoxue said.

It's true that evil gong practices harm people and are terrifying, and that people all over the world should resist them. However, at the same time, these practices are also truly powerful.

If everyone in the world knew that Su Qingqiu was able to kill millions or even tens of millions of troops by herself in the Battle of Chaoge, then her evil skills would probably be remembered by countless people, even if the whole world resisted her.

Jiang Shang Gong struck a good balance, allowing future generations to resist evil practices while preventing them from becoming overly popular.

Going further, the murals depict some events related to the demise of the Shang Dynasty and the founding of the Qi Dynasty. They also tell how Lord Jiang Shang finally showed some respect to this shocking evil cultivator, leaving his body intact and letting him rest in peace here.

Then, they saw a huge stone gate in front of them.

It actually took them less than half a minute to walk from the entrance to the stone gate. They did not stop at all from beginning to end, and the communication was also very quick.

Only now did Su Luoxue and Ji Wan'er stop and carefully examine the stone door in front of them.

There is an inscribed formation on the stone gate, which seems to be used for isolation. Moreover, it isolates not only spiritual power, but also temperature, sound, etc.

Su Luoxue and Ji Wan'er, who were knowledgeable and experienced, could tell at a glance that this was the method used by the Tianji Pavilion.

The person who arranged the formation was probably Lord Jiang Shang.

This tomb was built by Jiang Shanggong out of respect for an unparalleled powerful man. There must be no mechanisms, traps or hidden treasures, so the structure of this tomb must be very simple.

If my guess is correct, behind that door is the main tomb chamber of Su Qingqiu's tomb.

But Su Luoxue was hesitant about whether to go in. After all, she hadn't reunited with her father, Yin Longshuai, yet. If she went in rashly, what if she ran into Cheng Longjiu and Baili Qiankun...

Under normal circumstances, Su Luoxue would definitely think twice before acting, considering and investigating everything thoroughly before taking action. But now, she glanced at Ji Wan'er beside her and decided to go in quickly.

Ji Wan'er's skills are no worse than any of the seven generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty. With her around, they can definitely fight Cheng Longjiu and Baili Qiankun head-on.

So, Su Luoxue called Ji Wan'er, and then the two of them went over together.

Su Luoxue raised her hand, and spiritual power surged out, flying directly to the stone gate, slowly pushing it open with powerful force.

As soon as the door opened, a small portion of the formation barrier was opened, followed by a strong burst of cold and mysterious air. Su Luoxue and Ji Wan'er were shocked and immediately released their spiritual power to resist the impact of the cold and mysterious air.

"This mysterious energy is!"

Su Luoxue was surprised because she sensed the mysterious aura of the Xuanyin Jue and immediately rushed in.

When she saw the situation in the main tomb hall, she couldn't help but shout, "Dad!"

4.73 The Emperor's aunt's ancestor has resurrected

Back in time not long ago...

Su Qingqiu, who was possessed by the evil ghost insect, suddenly exploded, releasing terrifying spiritual power and ghost energy that blew away the three top Yang Gods. Then she was the only one standing on the high platform, just like she was standing on the mountain of corpses and looking down at all living beings.

But the current Su Qingqiu's eyes no longer have the coldness and murderousness that he had a thousand years ago.

Now her bloodshot eyes were filled with pain, her pupils were bloodshot, the veins on her body were bulging, her whole body was trembling, and her throat was filled with miserable wails.

“Aaaaaaah, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

The voice was obviously nice, but it sounded so painful.

Cheng Longjiu and Baili Qiankun had no time to feel sorry for the beauty. Cheng Longjiu immediately looked at Cheng Ying and asked, "What's going on now? How did she become like this?"

Cheng Ying was seen squatting on the ground, pinching his fingers and muttering something, as if he was trying to control the evil ghost insect in Su Qingqiu's body.

Cheng Longjiu and Baili Qiankun stared at Cheng Ying and Su Qingqiu for a while. Not long after, Su Qingqiu's spiritual power burst out again, roaring and surging like a flood, directly pushing everyone back several steps.

Cheng Ying's spiritual power was insufficient and her injuries had not yet healed. She was also distracted by controlling the insects, so she was suddenly thrown to the ground. After rolling several times, she hit the wall of the main tomb hall.

Cheng Ying covered his shoulder and climbed up, shaking his head and gritting his teeth, saying: "No, I can't control it. The evil ghost insect has been suppressed."

"Suppressed?" Baili Qiankun pointed at Su Qingqiu: "Then what's going on with Su Qingqiu now? Is he really alive?"

"Could it be that the evil ghost worm resurrected Su Qingqiu, and after Su Qingqiu was resurrected, he suppressed the evil ghost worm with his own power?" Cheng Longjiu subconsciously guessed, but immediately denied himself: "This is impossible. No matter how powerful Su Qingqiu is, he is just a corpse and does not have this ability."

No matter how powerful Su Qingqiu was, he was just a corpse. Even if he had returned from the dead, he had only just begun to gather his spiritual consciousness. You have to know that this was an evil ghost insect that even the Yang God could control. How could Su Qingqiu possibly suppress it?

Compared with Cheng Longjiu and Baili Qiankun, Cheng Ying was the one who knew the situation best. After all, she had been controlling the evil ghost insects and could also sense Su Qingqiu's situation through the evil ghost insects.

Cheng Ying quickly explained to the two, "The evil insect repaired her damaged meridians and organs, revitalized her blood, and even replaced her consciousness. Now she... can be considered alive."

“Alive, alive…?”

Cheng Longjiu and Baili Qiankun stared at the platform together, only to see Su Qingqiu bent over and gasping for breath, sweating profusely, even with drops of blood.

When Cheng Ying tried to control the evil ghost insect again, Su Qingqiu immediately raised his head and howled again.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!"

Amidst the wailing, Su Qingqiu suddenly opened his arms.

But the next second, the nails on her hands suddenly flew out!

!!!

Cheng Longjiu and Baili Qiankun saw it clearly. What flew out was not a nail, but a nail clipping, which was used by girls to decorate their fingers.

However, this nail seemed to be connected to Su Qingqiu's nail by ice silk, and the front part of the nail suddenly extended into a blade, turning into nine sharp knives.

This was one of Su Qingqiu's weapons back then, the Qingqiu Nine-tailed Sword named after himself.

The nine finger knives connected by ice silk were flying in the air. They seemed to be in disorder, but the silk threads were not entangled at all. The paths of the finger knife spiritual power sliding in the air even formed a huge spider web in the air.

Then suddenly, nine finger knives fell down at the same time, not attacking other people, but all hitting Su Qingqiu's head!

For a moment, Su Qingqiu, who was wailing in pain, suddenly stopped and his open hands dropped.

She was still standing on the platform, but she was as motionless as a statue.

No one present thought that Su Qingqiu was dead, because her aura was becoming stronger and stronger, and even gradually becoming violent.
