Chapter 1385 (Empress, Its Time to Settle the Score)
Chapter 1385 (Empress, It's Time to Settle the Score)
Although it was unintentional, they were provoking the big shots from the South.
Both Chang Qing and Chang Hen were dignified figures. Now that their names were out there, if they couldn't live up to the expectations, it would be a disgrace!
Neither the Sect of Broken Meridian Sect nor the Divine Scripture Academy could afford to lose their disciples!
"Empress! Your words show a lack of respect for both sides! Do you think the Voidless Empire is the overlord of this land?" Chang Hen appeared particularly furious. The veins on his forehead bulged, and the blood vessels in his eyes were remarkably prominent.
Witness the enraged Sect Master of Broken Meridian Sect, Chang Hen, and get to know him…
Qing Ya also felt a bit embarrassed; she had indeed wandered off in her thoughts.
Looking at the mentor of the children, who seemed ready to fight her, was genuinely touching. Should she just let it go?
It seemed that Qing Ya was still as kind-hearted as ever. On the other hand, Empress Donghuang Baizhi didn't share the same sentiment; she felt the need to escalate the situation.
Donghuang Baizhi calmly said, "To be honest, we haven't regarded both sides highly. If you want to take action..."
Chang Qing thought she was referring to himself at first but soon realised that it was about the children. How could he let them be manipulated like that?
"Chang Hen, save them first!"
"Alright!"
As negotiations collapsed, a fierce battle erupted.
However, Qi Xuewen's trio chose not to intervene but instead said, "Empress!"
Both Long Aotian and Jiu Ye were stunned. What's wrong with this guy, using such a tone to address Empress Donghuang Baizhi at a time like this? This Empress of the Voidless Realm...
But below, the fight had already started. Qing Yutong, along with two skeletons, was boldly fighting against the crowd.
"Who are you?" Donghuang Baizhi curiously asked Qi Xuewen, even Qing Ya looked a bit puzzled. This man seemed to know Donghuang Baizhi.
On the viewing platform, Ye Hua's face tightened. First, there were questions about Qing Ya, and now Donghuang Baizhi also seemed suspicious. Were these two women hiding something from him, perhaps secretly consorting with a young lover?
"No, Your Majesty, the situation is not clear yet."
"The situation is crystal clear before our eyes."
Wei Chang was speechless. It seemed like Your Majesty was genuinely jealous now.
"Your Majesty, hold on. Now is not the time. If you act impulsively, today's plan will be ruined," Wei Chang tried to persuade. Your Majesty had to stay calm; impulsiveness is the devil.
After finishing his words, Wei Chang continued, "Your Majesty, if you confront them now, it will become public knowledge. Why not wait until tonight, close the doors, and inquire properly?"
Ye Hua thought about it. Wei Chang was right; questioning them now would damage his reputation. It wasn't worth losing face over such a matter.
Donghuang Baizhi's tone turned cold after hearing this, "Stop playing games here. Speak up, or forget it!"
Qing Ya felt that things had taken an unexpected turn today. Were Long Aotian and Jiu Ye deliberately opposing her?
Weren't they afraid?
Jiu Ye hurriedly advised, "Xuewen, don't be impulsive. The details of the Voidless Realm are still unclear; we can't act like this."
"Jiu Ye, you overestimate them. In your eyes, they are already mythical figures. In reality, they are nothing!" Qi Xuewen had made up his mind. Today was the time to settle the score. He had waited too long for this moment.
Long Aotian whispered, "Xuewen, how about another day?"
Qi Xuewen's face instantly turned cold. Was this guy letting him down at a critical moment? Any other matter could be tolerated, but this? This was an insult to the Qi Xuewen family!
"Aotian, Jiu Ye, won't you help me? Over the years, how have I treated you, Aotian, and Jiu Ye? Do you have no sense of obligation?"
After hearing this, both Jiu Ye and Long Aotian fell silent. In terms of righteousness, Qi Xuewen had done a lot for them. They were all fellow neighbours, and he had taken special care of them.
It seemed that everything he had done over the years was for this day.
Qi Xuewen did have such thoughts.
"If you two don't help with this favour today, don't blame me, Qi Xuewen!"
This was a blatant threat, no sugarcoating it! It was despicable!
Long Aotian immediately thought about his family, still in the Abyss City. He was careless. Jiu Ye also thought about Little Bao. That scoundrel... he didn’t even spare the dog.
At this moment, Qi Xuewen, no matter how good he was before, turned into a devil. Threatening one's closest relatives would instantly rupture even the best relationships. It was just human nature.
Qi Xuewen was quite satisfied with their current expressions. This was what he wanted – a sense of compliance.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi weren't fools; this guy was clearly threatening them. Jiu Ye and Long Aotian must have some handle that Qi Xuewen had got hold of. It was too shameless; he specifically bullied honest people.
"What do you want?" Donghuang Baizhi asked curiously. This person seemed determined to cause trouble, and he came prepared.
Qi Xuewen turned to Donghuang Baizhi and smiled, "Empress, do you remember the martial arts contest between the North and the South back then?"
The martial arts contest back then?
How could Donghuang Baizhi forget that day? She had cleared out many who opposed her.
"Are you the descendant of those clans?" Donghuang Baizhi asked curiously.
"Humph! No, I'm not from any clan. I'm just a lone cultivator, sitting in the stands, looking up to the Empress!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Chang quickly said, "Your Majesty, see, it's just a misunderstanding."
Ye Hua remained silent, finding today's events becoming interesting. This man turned out to be a participant in the martial arts contest between the North and the South.
Regarding the memories of that day, he still had them, but they were hard to recall.
Qing Ya said lightly, "However, so many years have passed. What changes have you made?" After saying this, she gestured between them, indicating that he was still in the stands, just elevated and inflated.
