Chapter 242 - Dragon and Snake
Luo Ze might not recognize Yun Wuci and Bu Lingfei, but he definitely knew Li Ruowang.
As for this Empress, Luo Ze had never particularly liked her.
Because she was his adopted daughter Yun Roumu’s number one romantic rival.
Yet, in this moment, Luo Ze was quite pleased. There was no way Li Ruowang could be part of the demonic sects.
Perhaps, for Ye Yu’s sake, she might even lend them a hand!
Just a stick of incense earlier.
Li Ruowang, Yun Wuci, and Bu Lingfei had rushed from the Guiyuan Sect to the Azure Cloud Sect, searching for Ye Yu.
But they were informed by the Azure Cloud Sect disciples that Ye Yu had already left with Sect Master Luo Ze to deal with a demon at Zhenmo Mountain.
So the three women wasted no time in heading here.
They soon discovered the scattered corpses of righteous cultivators, and the black barrier before them.
Li Ruowang believed Ye Yu must be inside the barrier, so she tore it apart, which led to the current scene.
Yun Wuci and Bu Lingfei scanned their surroundings but didn’t see any sign of Ye Yu, so they asked in unison, “Where is my husband?”
Hearing this, everyone present was instantly confused.
Really? This is a life-or-death showdown between the righteous and demonic sects, and you show up looking for your husband?
What a show of arrogance!
Besides, even if you’re looking for your husband, at least say his name, right?
Otherwise, who knows who your husband is?
A fiery-tempered demonic sect leader suddenly stepped forward and angrily shouted, “All of you, get lost, or I’ll refine you into—”
Before he could finish, Yun Wuci swiftly raised her hand.
A crescent blade instantly beheaded the demonic sect leader on the spot.
The sight of this sharpened the focus of every demonic cultivator present.
That demonic sect leader just now had been at the peak of the Integration Realm. Yet, he was killed in an instant.
This woman before them was definitely a mighty cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm.
How come no one had ever seen her before?
At this moment, a hunched demonic cultivator spoke in a deep voice, “Be careful, this woman is the Sect Master of Guiyuan Sect!”
Upon hearing this, Tao Shanen raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had heard of Guiyuan Sect’s reputation. In the past millennium, it had risen rapidly among the righteous sects of the Central Continent.
The sect’s power had grown swiftly. Now, it had already entered the ranks of the first-tier sects, only below the sacred lands.
However, even so, Tao Shanen didn’t take it too seriously.
There were nearly a hundred demonic cultivators gathered here. If it was just one Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator, there was no way she could change the outcome today!
Tao Shanen was about to speak, but then Li Ruowang suddenly stepped forward.
“I’ll ask one last time, where is my husband Ye Yu? If anyone dares to hide the truth, you will all die!”
In Li Ruowang’s mind, she didn’t care who these people were.
Right now, she only wanted to find Ye Yu!
Anyone who stood in her way of finding him deserved death!
The terrifying pressure of a Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivator descended, sweeping across the entire area in an instant.
Li Ruowang’s imperial robe gently swayed, radiating the domineering presence of a mortal emperor!
Yun Wuci and Bu Lingfei said nothing. They stood on either side of her, both unleashed their full spiritual pressure.
No one present could have imagined that these three women were all Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivators.
This was a force no one could ignore.
And when the leaders of several Sacred Lands heard that Li Ruowang’s husband was Ye Yu, they immediately shot burning gazes toward Luo Ze.
Old Luo, your Azure Cloud Sect’s Saint really has outdone himself.
With three Tribulation Crossing Realm cultivators as Dao companions, he’s got to be soaring to greatness now!
We’re saved, finally saved.
In the span of just two breaths, Luo Ze’s expression went through five distinct changes.
Joy, shock, astonishment, confusion, and sadness!
He had heard before that Ye Yu had several Dao companions, but he had never heard that all of his Dao companions were Tribulation Crossing cultivators!
In this day and age, are Tribulation Crossing cultivators handed out for free?
Do they just show up like this?
Where in the world did Ye Yu find so many Tribulation Crossing cultivators?
Luo Ze furiously scratched his head.
And in the next second, a thick, overwhelming demonic aura descended.
An absolutely stunning woman in a black robe walked through the air.
Behind her, the shadow of a thousand-foot-long giant python appeared, like a ruler gazing down at the insignificant ants of the world.
Everyone present felt a terrifying sense of oppression.
They couldn’t figure it out, what kind of day was this?
Why were even great demons joining the chaos!
That’s right!
This woman was none other than the Great Demon King Gan Zhizui, who had rushed here all the way from the Southern Barbarian Continent!
She had just returned from the Azure Cloud Sect.
Looking at Li Ruowang, Yun Wuci, and Bu Lingfei standing in a triangular formation, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
For some reason, the moment Gan Zhizui first laid eyes on them, she felt a sense of crisis.
It made her quite displeased.
She landed a short distance away from them and coldly asked, “Where is Ye Yu?”
Hearing this, the righteous and demonic cultivators alike were utterly dumbfounded.
Especially the demonic cultivators who had come here. They couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard they tried.
Who exactly was Ye Yu?
Why were so many heavenly beauties looking for him?
Could it be, in his past life, he saved the world?
Li Ruowang, Yun Wuci, and Bu Lingfei spoke almost at the same time, “Why are you looking for my husband?”
Gan Zhizui was slightly stunned.
Your husband?
Then what does that make me?
Within her sea of consciousness, Gan Duoduo suddenly stood up and shouted, “Who are these three women? How dare they try to steal our husband?”
“Sister, we can’t let Little Yu Yu be taken by outsiders!”
Gan Zhizui nodded in deep agreement.
Sharing with Gan Duoduo was already the limit of what she could accept.
But now, three more rivals had appeared.
How could Gan Zhizui possibly endure this?
“Utter nonsense! Ye Yu is clearly my Dao companion!”
As soon as these words left her mouth, the entire crowd was shocked.
Well then!
Now it’s a competition.
From a three-way standoff to a four-sided battle!
Fairies, please have some self-respect.
You’re all Tribulation Crossing fairies, yet you’re all after the same man. It’s enough to make everyone jealous.
Gan Zhizui’s appearance once again gave the leaders of the Sacred Lands a boost of confidence.
Good, really good!
With four Tribulation Crossing cultivators stepping in to help, their safety was absolutely assured.
This feeling of being pulled back from hell into heaven was too intoxicating.
Gao Zhanze, the leader of Qiling Valley, was particularly excited and praised Luo Ze, “Sect Master Luo, you’ve really taken in a good Saint, I’m so envious, truly envious.”
Tang Shaojin, the leader of Tianxu Mountain, quickly followed up, “The moment I saw Ye Yu, I knew this young man was extraordinary, destined for greatness!”
Cheng Yalu, the leader of Flying Cloud Pavilion, laughed and said, “Azure Cloud will flourish! And it’s all thanks to Ye Yu!”
Ning Ruyu, the leader of Xiaoyao Palace, added, “Wonderful, truly wonderful!”
Listening to their mindless flattery!
Luo Ze furiously rolled his eyes.
He lowered his head to look at Yun Roumu, who was still unconscious.
“Adopted daughter, stop it. You can’t compete. The outside is filled with tribulation cultivators!”
Li Ruowang stared at Gan Zhizui.
Her heart was burning with rage.
It’s only been a few days, and Ye Yu, you’ve already taken in another demoness as your Dao companion!
You really want to have it all, huh!
I’ve neglected the entire Great Qian Dynasty, and you’re out here playing with snakes!
Do you even have me in your heart anymore?
The more Li Ruowang thought about it, the angrier she became.
Her spiritual energy surged once again, and a golden dragon of fortune slowly coalesced, circling behind Li Ruowang.
It let out a dragon’s roar at the giant python behind Gan Zhizui.
Dragon and snake at war!
