From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

"Well, young man, you win."

Xiantian Yuegui sighed softly, shook her head, and then extended her slender right index finger.

In an instant, a silver light shot out from her fingertips and turned into a dry branch, floating in front of her.

"This is?"

"This is the only branch of the innate Taiyin Laurel Immortal Tree left in the world. If you are intelligent enough, you may be able to comprehend the origin of Taiyin from it."

Xiao Minghuang looked up and saw that the half branch was about the thickness of a baby's calf. All the leaves on it had fallen off. It was bare and lifeless, and there was no sign of anything magical about it.

If she had not seen it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears, she would never have believed that this seemingly ordinary piece of dead branch could be part of an innate spiritual root.

At the same time, Xiao Minghuang also knew that this was probably the greatest gift that Xiantian Laurel could give.

After all, if she really had any treasure, she would have used it herself to deal with the Supreme Burial King long ago, and there would be no need to make a deal with her.

"Thank you for the gift, senior!" Xiao Minghuang bowed respectfully.

At present, the benefits have been obtained, and if something unexpected happens at that time.

Thirty-six strategies are the best!

"There is not much time left..."

Xiantian Yuegui raised his head, looked at the transparent coffin in the sky, and said, "This transparent coffin was left behind by the last time the Burial King Supreme came here and fought with me. It was used to suppress me and monitor my every move. Now, everything I do here cannot escape his eyes."

As she said that, she turned to look at Xiao Minghuang, and said with a smile: "Just now I gave you the branch of the Xiantian Taiyin Laurel Tree, but he saw it clearly. You must not be careless. Although you are only a quasi-emperor, you must go all out!"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that he was waiting for her here!

"Senior, you are joking. Since I have promised to fight to protect you, why would I retreat in the middle of a battle?"

"Haha, young man, I'm optimistic about you."

Xiantian Yuegui smiled slightly, her face full of calmness and confidence, as if everything was under her control.

Xiao Minghuang knew that when it came to scheming, she could never compare to the old man in front of her.

The only way is to improve her own strength. No matter what conspiracy others have, as long as she is strong enough, she can ignore it!

However, the first person she has to face right now is still the Quasi-Emperor of Southern Wilderness.

"Senior, do you know the background of the Quasi-Emperor who is coming from the Southern Wilds?"

Xiao Minghuang cupped his hands and asked.

"Well, since he is the confidant of the Supreme Burial King, he should be practicing the Burial King Way like him, that is, the Way of Time with the characteristics of the Supreme Burial King!"

Xiantian Yuegui said casually, and then changed the subject, "But I do know a lot about the way that the Supreme Burial King practiced. Do you want to hear it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's heart moved. The Supreme Burial King was the reincarnation of half of the original spirit of Xiantian Laurel, and he controlled the way of time. If she could understand a little bit about this, it should be of some benefit to her.

"Juniors are all ears."

"Listen carefully..."

...

Soon, half a day passed.

Xiantian Yuegui’s sermon finally ended.

"...The above is my memory of the Supreme Burial King."

Since Xiantian Yuegui once cut off time and split her soul into two, her understanding of the way of time was not profound. Most of her understanding came from her feelings during the confrontation with the Supreme Burial King, so it was not deep and it was difficult for her to be of much substantive help to Xiao Minghuang.

However, it also gave her some understanding of the way of burying the king.

In short, the so-called Burial King Way is a method of cultivation that improves one's own lifespan by devouring the lifespan of others. In terms of the degree of evil, it is on par with the other five evil ways.

Therefore, in the upcoming battle with the Quasi-Emperor of Southern Wilderness, she must be careful that the other party might secretly devour her lifespan.

378. Quasi-Emperor?

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Xiao Minghuang said respectfully.

"He should be here soon, so I'll hide first."

The words fell.

Xiantian Laurel's figure disappeared.

Xiao Minghuang looked around, but could not see any trace of her, nor could he sense her presence.

"It seems that she will not show up until I defeat the Quasi-Emperor of the Southern Wasteland."

At this time, the Holy Son of Tianji finally woke up. He sat up, looked around blankly, and asked, "Where is Ren Wuqing? Was he killed by the princess?"

Xiao Minghuang was thinking about how to deal with the Quasi-Emperor of Southern Wilderness and ignored him.

Lin Chaoyu explained: "There is no Ren Wuqing. The 'Ren Wuqing' just now was pretended by another person."

Next, she briefly recounted what had just happened.

"what?"

"Princess Xiao is going to fight the Quasi-Emperor?"

The Holy Son of Tianji couldn't help but scream in shock.

Although he knew that Princess Xiao was very powerful and that no one in the Five Realms could defeat her among the younger generation, the one she was going to challenge was a quasi-emperor!

The quasi-emperor is an almighty being that is above all other living beings and second only to the Supreme.

Looking at the entire five directions and one world, there are only a handful of them.

"Is such that."

Lin Chaoyu nodded.

Xiao Minghuang glanced at the two of them and said calmly: "The outcome of this battle is still unknown. I will do my best to fight. You should all stay away from each other."

She did not trust these two people, especially Lin Chaoyu.

Therefore, it was impossible for her to let them enter her secret cave.

"it is good!"

The Holy Son of Tianji immediately responded and left.

He couldn't believe that Princess Xiao could defeat the Quasi-Emperor.

In his opinion, although Princess Xiao is strong, she has at most just entered the holy realm. How can she compete with the quasi-emperor?

"Are you sure?"

Lin Chaoyu did not leave immediately, but asked after hesitating for a moment.

"You won't know whether you can win until you fight."

Xiao Minghuang said calmly.

Hearing this, Lin Chaoyu looked thoughtful, as if he was about to make some important decision.

After a moment, she walked closer to Xiao Minghuang, lowered her voice, and said, "If you can't defeat him, I have something that can help the princess escape."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Minghuang looked at her in surprise.

The relationship between them doesn't seem to be that good, right?

Moreover, if Lin Chaoyu had a treasure that could save his life, why would he share it with her?

At this time, Lin Chaoyu transmitted the message: "Just now Xiantian Yuegui said that this place is under surveillance by the Burial King Supreme, so I transmitted the message to the princess."

"The treasure that can help us escape is the immortal treasure of my Lin family's ancestor. He was punished by the Emperor to go to the battlefield between the two worlds. Before he left, he left his supreme magic weapon to me."

"This treasure is called Xuandu Guiyuan Sword. If the princess is defeated, we can use this treasure to cut through the void and escape!"

Lin Chaoyu solemnly conveyed the message.

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's heart moved. The supreme magic weapon?

Xuandu Guiyuan Sword?

She never thought that Lin Chaoyu actually had such a hidden card.

Just now, when he was fighting a life-and-death battle with Ren Wuqing, he didn't even use it until he was almost dead. This shows how cunning he is!

"If you can't defeat us, it won't be too late to escape."

Xiao Minghuang responded.

Hearing this, Lin Chaoyu stopped persuading him.

Since Princess Xiao said so, she must be certain about it. What she just said is enough to show her goodwill.

During the remaining time, Xiao Minghuang looked at the sky and saw the withered corpse gradually becoming plumper.

She tried to use various means to interfere with or attack the transparent coffin, but was unable to influence it in the slightest.

It seemed as if time was distorted around the transparent coffin. Her magical powers were like a drop in the ocean, with no trace left.

Xiao Minghuang also calmed down, adjusted his own condition to the best, and waited for the arrival of a strong enemy.

...

Time passes slowly.

About three quarters of an hour later, suddenly, the bloody hole on the chest of the withered corpse healed quickly, and the whole body became perfect.

At the same time, the corpse... no, the person in the coffin suddenly opened his eyes.

hum!

There was a sudden explosion in the sky, and wind and thunder surged.

The transparent coffin instantly turned into points of glow, which were all absorbed into the body of the person in the coffin.

The person in the coffin slowly stood up, emitting a suffocating aura.

His face also became clear, and it was exactly Ren Wuqing's appearance!

Rumble——!

Lightning snakes danced wildly in the sky and the clouds collapsed.

This figure was not tall and majestic, and was even a little thin. He looked much older than Ren Wuqing, but the pressure he brought to people was no small at all.

Facing him, it felt like facing a small world, making one's soul tremble.

Although they were separated by an infinite distance, the terrifying aura made the Son of Tianji tremble uncontrollably.

"Princess Xiao is doomed now. How can I escape?"

Facing the person in the coffin who had awakened, Xiao Minghuang clenched his palms, his expression remained the same, unafraid.

In the sky, the person in the coffin twisted his neck, raised his hands and looked at himself, as if he was not familiar with this body.

Then, he turned his eyes and scanned all directions, as if looking for something, but no matter where he looked, there was only disappointment in his eyes.

Finally, he set his sights on the girl in a bright yellow dress standing on the top of a mountain not far away.

"This body seems to have seen you before? You seem to be one of the more outstanding young people of this generation?"

He looked at Xiao Minghuang with interest, without revealing the slightest murderous intent.

Xiao Minghuang looked extremely solemn. Although the person in front of him had the same face as Ren Wuqing, their strengths were so different that they could not be compared at all.

Obviously, the person in front of him was the so-called "quasi-emperor" of the Southern Wilderness.

However, she always felt that the pressure this person brought to her was even greater than that of the Lord of the Sun Temple, and was almost as great as that of the ancestor of the Su family, whom she had met once.

That is the real Supreme!

"My name is Xiao Minghuang, and I am a disciple of the Master of the Sun Palace of the Eastern Holy Academy."

Although her tone was calm and her expression was frank, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Lord of the Sun Palace, I seem to have heard of it."

The Quasi-Emperor of the Southern Wasteland said calmly, his tone was very calm, as if he was really just having a normal exchange with the younger cultivators.

Seeing this person's reaction, Xiao Minghuang became more and more uneasy. The Lord of the Sun Palace was almost one of the top few people at the quasi-emperor level, but the Quasi-Emperor of the Southern Wilderness in front of her did not seem to take her seriously.
