Chapter 65 Luo Li is Simply a Stupid Pig and Dumb Donkey
"Are we going to live here?"
Ji Ning asked in a faint tone.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that Gu Qing could be so shameless.
It wasn't enough to seize by force, he even wanted to drive people out of their homes, truly unprecedented.
"Uh."
"Of course not."
Gu Qing looked around, somewhat embarrassed.
He had enjoyed cursing just now and temporarily forgot this was someone else's sleeping quarters.
He naturally couldn't drive out the empress and occupy her sleeping quarters. If word got out, what would that look like?
"Let's go, find a residence in the city to stay temporarily, and find a tool person by the way."
"Should I go track Bai Suying?" Ji Ning always remembered she was a dutiful tool person.
Bai Suying would probably contact Ye Hao, and this was exactly the time for her to take action.
"No need."
Gu Qing shook his head.
Protagonists are all old dogs who never expose any secrets to friends and family, only taking the opportunity to show off.
Ji Ning going would be in vain.
Besides, his brainwashing of Bai Suying was already sufficient. With a little more pressure, she would come to him on her own.
"I am Luo Zhengyang, I have met you, Daoist friend."
Just as they walked out of Weiyang Palace, they saw dozens of royal family members already standing outside.
Luo Zhengyang was the old ancestor of the royal family, the only one at the fifth level of the Supreme Realm.
However, his current condition seemed not good, with disordered breath, clearly injured.
"Something?"
Gu Qing glanced at the royal family members, his tone cold.
The royal family members' hearts sank. Gu Qing was so cold, it seemed he wasn't here to help their royal family.
But if he wasn't helping them, what was he here for?
"A distinguished guest has come from afar, our Luo family has prepared a banquet, and we hope you will grace us with your presence, Daoist friend."
A junior was not yet qualified to speak with him, so Luo Zhengyang said to Ji Ning with clasped fists.
Ji Ning didn't even look at him, standing silently behind Gu Qing as if she were his shadow.
Luo Zhengyang took a deep breath.
He never thought that he, a dignified Supreme Realm cultivator, would have a day of flattering a Void Dao Realm cultivator.
He suppressed his anger and said with a bold smile: "Hahaha... you are indeed a prodigy from the Star Temple. With Luo Li having you as a senior brother, it is truly the fortune of our Luo family."
The corners of the royal family members' mouths twitched.
Their ancestor, who stood high above, cold and domineering, holding the power of life and death over billions of beings, was actually better at flattering than them when he tried.
"Is that so?"
"But I don't consider having Luo Li as a junior sister to be a fortunate thing. She took dozens of bottles of supreme pills from me but hides and avoids me. Who should I settle this account with?"
Gu Qing sneered, his gaze like lightning as he looked at this worldly supreme being.
What nonsense about a banquet? Once he went, the news would immediately spread that the Star Temple had intervened to support the Luo family.
Even if he didn't go, the Luo family would probably release various rumors to try to scare the rebellious princes.
This was probably why Luo Li didn't let anyone appear.
Gu Qing didn't want to be used for nothing.
It was most appropriate to bring Luo Li out to take the blame at this time.
Make the best use of things, and make the best use of people.
After all, Luo Li had already taken the blame for him once, so one more time wouldn't matter.
"This..."
The royal family members' faces changed dramatically.
They never expected that Gu Qing came here to collect a debt.
No wonder Luo Li had so many supreme pills, as if they were free, scattering them recklessly in the imperial city.
But it was precisely because of this that their plan to use the Star Temple's name was stillborn.
After all, since Luo Li had already taken out supreme pills, it meant the Star Temple wouldn't send any strong cultivators over.
"That disgraceful one truly deserves to die, simply incredibly foolish." Luo Zhengyang was filled with great hatred.
Luo Li usually seemed quite clever and well-behaved, but unexpectedly, she would drop the ball at critical moments.
With such good innate conditions, she didn't know how to use them, instead doing bad things with good intentions. She was simply a stupid pig and dumb donkey.
If Luo Li hadn't publicly recruited soldiers, there would have been so many ways to use her.
With the reputation of the Star Temple, they could definitely scare away ninety-nine percent of the rebel army.
And those dozens of bottles of supreme pills, some of which would be very useful even for those at the King Realm.
If all were given to the royal family, they could cultivate more strong cultivators, and the Luo family would surely prosper again.
However, a perfect hand of cards was completely ruined by this fool, Luo Li.
Now she had even provoked Gu Qing, the creditor. What should they do?
The more Luo Zhengyang thought about it, the more resentful he became, wishing he could rush into the Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm and flay Luo Li alive.
"This... that... we also didn't know what Luo Li did, you see..."
There was no way they would compensate with spirit pills, not in this lifetime.
After all, high-grade supreme pills were hard to come by, let alone dozens of bottles.
Even if they sold the Imperial Family, they probably couldn't afford it.
"Hmph, I know you can't afford to compensate. When Luo Li comes out, have her see me immediately. I want to settle the score with her personally."
After speaking, Gu Qing soared into the sky, showing no consideration for the Mortal Realm Supreme's dignity.
Luo Zhengyang didn't dare to get angry and had to maintain a smiling expression, fearing that Gu Qing might make the Imperial Family compensate with Spirit Pills in his anger.
"Ancestor, what should we do?"
The various Vassal Kings are about to attack the Imperial Capital. All cities have fallen, and the Imperial Family now exists in name only. If they can't devise a countermeasure, the rebel forces will reach the Imperial Capital within three days.
"Go to the Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm. Luo Li is the only one who can save the Imperial Family."
Rumble!
The Imperial Family members summoned their magic treasures and violently attacked the Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm with their divine abilities.
However, the Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm was a sealed grotto-heaven created by a Divine Fire Realm expert through self-sacrifice. It could even seal a phoenix, so naturally it couldn't be broken open by Supreme Realm experts in a short time.
But the frantic attacks of the Imperial Family members did awaken Luo Li, who was in the process of refining the Phoenix Essence.
"Have the rebel forces already reached the city gates?"
Luo Li opened her eyes, her aura overwhelming as Phoenix Nirvana Fire filled the entire grotto-heaven world.
She seemed like a flame empress, her phoenix dress fluttering, wearing a crown, exuding an air of transcendence and nobility.
"Everything is under control..."
Luo Li had long predicted that when the rebel forces reached the city gates, the Imperial Family would definitely attack the secret realm.
She immediately sent messages to her newly recruited subordinates and to Xue Hua and others to execute the second phase of her plan.
When Ye Hao breaks through the city and slaughters the entire royal clan, that will be the time for her to emerge and clean up the aftermath.
At that time, everyone must die.
She wants the entire corrupt empire to be buried with her mother consort.
"Ahhh..."
"Rebellious daughter... just kill me..."
Luo Ling's spiritual soul twisted as it was burned by the Phoenix Nirvana Fire, emitting mournful screams.
Burning the spiritual soul is the cruelest punishment in the cultivation world. The various sensations are difficult to describe; only those who have experienced it can understand.
"Father Emperor, do you know? The pain you're enduring now is not even one ten-thousandth of what my mother consort suffered. Enjoy it while you can, since your spiritual soul is weak and you won't live much longer anyway."
Luo Li's voice was cold and devoid of any emotion. After speaking, she closed her eyes and continued to refine and merge with the Phoenix Essence.
Although the Phoenix Essence was from the Divine Fire Realm, its physical body had been slain and its spiritual soul extinguished by the Luo Clan Ancestor, leaving only the indestructible essence of the phoenix.
Nevertheless, it possessed overwhelming divine might, containing the laws of the Divine Fire Realm, and could not be refined by someone in the Void Dao Realm.
Luo Li could refine it entirely because of her Myriad Calamities Indestructible Origin and her Phoenix Bloodline, which shared the same lineage and origin as the Phoenix Essence.
Therefore, the Phoenix Essence would not attack her nor reject Luo Li's refinement.
Boom!
Luo Li's aura climbed steadily, instantly breaking through to the eighth level of the Void Dao Realm.
Moreover, strands of Indestructible Law aura emerged around her, transcendent and sacred, as if she were a deity born of heaven and earth.
And this was indeed the case.
Luo Li's Myriad Calamities Indestructible Origin contained Innate Indestructible Divinity.
Once activated and assimilated, she would become an innate deity.
This was a leap across life levels, a transition from the mortal to the extraordinary.
"I hate this..."
Luo Ling looked at Luo Li with incomparably venomous eyes.
When he killed his wife back then, he shouldn't have left this disaster behind. However, due to a moment of greed, he made a terrible mistake.
For all these years, he had been deceived by Luo Li's superficial obedience, making him mistakenly believe that he controlled everything.
He fantasized about waiting for Luo Li to break through to the Void Dao Realm, then stripping her of her pure Phoenix Bloodline.
But unexpectedly, he had raised a demoness.
Not only would he die, but the entire Luo Imperial Clan would die to be buried with that lowly woman.
The more Luo Ling thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and he roared out in anger.
"Rebellious daughter, where did your Phoenix Jade Token come from? Did that lowly woman give it to you? Did you know long ago that I intended to strip your bloodline?"
In his eyes were bone-deep hatred and overwhelming envy.
If he could refine the Phoenix Essence, he would definitely be able to reach the Divine Fire Realm.
This was an overwhelming opportunity that could grant him eternal life and supreme power.
At that time, he would be the true Human King, where under heaven, all is the king's land, and within the seas, all are the king's subjects.
The peerless beauties raised in the deep palace for years—wouldn't they be at his mercy?
But all of this was destroyed by Luo Li. He could only watch helplessly as Luo Li refined it, his heart exploding with envy and jealousy.
It was even more unbearable than being killed.
Without getting an answer, he would die with regret.
