Chapter 12 - The Empress's Longing

Bai Xiaolou and Lady Sun Chunyu watched the scene from a short distance away.

Both of them couldn't help but shake their heads slightly!

"Ding Peng has no chance of winning. Although he wields the Crescent Moon Blade, his Godly Blade Slash is only in its initial stages."

"Unless I use the Jade Shifting Technique and infuse Ding Peng with my decades of internal energy, he might have a thirty percent chance of victory."

"This battle with Qingqing will likely deal him an unprecedented blow."

Bai Xiaolou's gaze was calm, his eyes deep as he spoke.

"I wonder, who exactly is the Venerable One that Qingqing speaks of?"

"After just a few months of training, Qingqing has undergone a complete transformation."

"Especially the martial arts I taught her, they are extraordinarily profound!"

"Far surpassing the so-called Godly Blade Slash, even the Demon Sect's strongest technique, the Heaven and Earth Intersecting Yin Yang Great Sorrowful Ode, pales in comparison!"

"But aren't you afraid Ding Peng will be utterly crushed?"

Lady Sun Chunyu nodded, her gaze solemn as she spoke.

"He's just a pawn. Although I invested heavily in him, if he can't become the sharpest blade in Qingqing's hands, then he has no value in living."

Bai Xiaolou snorted coldly, his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes sharp.

Then, he turned and left.

Even he, Bai Xiaolou, admitted Qingqing's strength surpassed his own. Ding Peng's attempt to challenge her was simply an act of overestimation.

The outcome was clear from the start!

As expected!

In the blink of an eye.

Ding Peng was already sprawled on the ground, his face a mask of disbelief.

The Crescent Moon Blade in his hand had been knocked away long ago.

Utter defeat!

A crushing defeat like never before!

Watching the departing azure figure, Ding Peng was filled with shame and fury.

How could this be possible?

How could Qingqing's strength be so formidable?

Ding Peng was utterly baffled, his eyes betraying a hint of unwillingness and shock!

The gap was so vast that even taking a Mid-Grade True Essence Pill wouldn't be enough to close it.

Unbelievable despair welled up in his heart.

Ding Peng clenched his fists, pounding the ground with all his might, appearing almost insane.

[Divine Weapon Ranking, 163rd Place — Heaven Reliant Sword!]

[Owner: Abbot Mie Jue]

[Reason for Ranking: Supreme in Martial World, Dragon Slaying Saber, commands the world, none dare to disobey, without Heaven Reliant, who can compete?]

[Forged from thousand-year-old black iron and Western refined gold, it possesses a chilling, formidable edge. The sword also conceals the peerless martial arts, the Nine Yin Manual and the Subduing Dragon Eighteen Palms.]

[Reward: One Low-Grade Return to Origin Pill. After consumption, it can slightly enhance aptitude.]

Gazing at the golden ranking in the sky, Abbot Mie Jue of Emei couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.

So, it's a pill that can improve aptitude. That would be perfect for Zhiruo.

With her already extraordinary talent, after consuming this Return to Origin Pill, her aptitude could reach the peak.

Abbot Mie Jue's eyes were calm, and she said with a deeply felt sigh.

"In the future!"

"It may not be impossible for her to take over the position of Emei's sect leader from Dugu Yifang."

"To allow their lineage to flourish!"

"It's just that Zhiruo's whereabouts have been somewhat mysterious recently."

"She's constantly eliminating demons and upholding justice throughout the Ming Dynasty, as if she's searching for something."

Abbot Mie Jue shook her head, finding it somewhat difficult to understand.

But she was still very lenient with this most talented and beloved disciple.

Did not bother to manage him much!

[Divine Weapon Ranking, 158th Place - Three-Eight Halberd!] [Wielder: Fang Yeye] [Reason for Ranking: A three-foot-eight-inch short halberd forged from mysterious black iron from the bottom of the North Sea, said to be from the heavens. Exceptionally heavy, it possesses unparalleled domineering power, weighing a full one hundred and fifty-seven jin.] [Reward: Earth-Grade Mid-Grade Martial Skill, "Bright Moon Heart Sutra"]

In the Yuan Mongol Dynasty, the Demon Master's Palace.

Fang Yeye felt a mystical martial art suddenly appear in his mind, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

He knew!

Although he was a disciple of Pang Ban, he hadn't cultivated the latter's strongest technique, the Dao Heart Demon Seed Dafa.

Even Zhao Min, one of his master's most beloved direct disciples, hadn't been able to learn that skill.

As a result, the cultivation method that Fang Yeye practiced now was just an ordinary Earth-grade martial art.

Now that he had obtained such a profound divine skill.

Fang Yeye was confident that his own potential would definitely increase even further.

[Divine Weapon Ranking: 130th - True Martial Sword]

[Owner: Zhang Sanfeng]

[Reason for Ranking: The sword of Zhang Sanfeng, the founding ancestor of Wudang. It has a unique form and is incredibly sharp.]

[The blade is as verdant as jade, flowing with light, and imbued with the essence of Taiji.]

[In his youth, Zhang Sanfeng wielded this sword to slay the demons of the world, establishing his formidable reputation.]

[Reward: Taiji Mystic Spirit Body, which allows for a better understanding of the mysteries of Yin and Yang Taiji.]

Wudang, Purple Cloud Palace.

"Congratulations, Master, on your sword's ranking!"

The Seven Heroes of Wudang exchanged glances, speaking almost in unison.

"The True Martial Sword was my personal sword when I was young. As my cultivation gradually reached the Celestial stage, I no longer needed to use it."

"Unexpectedly, in my twilight years, this divine weapon could still bring this old Daoist some surprises."

"The changes of the Great Dao are truly elusive!"

Zhang Sanfeng, dressed in a Taoist robe embroidered with a black and white Taiji pattern, with the appearance of a child and the bone structure of an immortal, gently stroked his long beard, and said with a face full of emotion.

His own aura seemed to have merged with the heavens and the earth.

Mysterious and unfathomable, vast and terrifying!

But upon careful examination, there was also a force of natural Daoism, constantly influencing the surroundings.

Tang Dynasty, Illusionary Sound Pavilion!

Inside a magnificent palace, filled with a subtle, floating fragrance.

Atop the high steps, a hazy, veiled window obscured the view.

A woman, breathtakingly beautiful with a tall, slender figure and an oval face, was resting languidly on a couch. She wore a red-string forehead band, her hair elaborately styled with a high bun adorned with a long, straight golden phoenix crown and hairpin, a strand of hair trailing down her back. Her bare feet and the opulent, elegant clothing highlighted her sexy, beautiful, queenly aura, but her every gesture revealed a ruthless, decisive beauty.

She was the ruler of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion of the Qi Kingdom - the Empress!

Beauty and霸气, existing together!

Below them were the Nine Heavens Holy Maidens of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion.

Each was a rare beauty, with delicate features and an exquisite appearance.

Some were alluring, others pure, some serene, and some cold...

Each possessed profound martial arts skills, proving that women could be just as capable as men.

At this moment, the Empress leaned quietly on the couch, revealing her slender, flawless legs and snow-white feet. A chilling sharpness flickered in her calm, beautiful eyes. Her red lips parted slightly as she softly commanded:

"After so long, you still haven't found any news of him?"

"The famous Bai Yujing of the Eternal Life Sword, what a reputation he has in the Jianghu?"

"He's clearly another legend in the world of swords!"

"Now, several years have passed, and you haven't given this Empress a single clue!"

Graceful and ethereal, Zizaitian, the most mysterious of the Nine Heavens Holy Maidens, furrowed her delicate brows and spoke softly:

"Young Master Bai's whereabouts are mysterious. He vanished from the martial world three years ago."

"How easy is it to find his trace?"

"Moreover!"

"We sisters also miss Young Master Bai very much!"

Upon hearing this, the Empress's phoenix eyes narrowed, and her exquisite face became even colder, like blood. She said:

"Hmph! No matter what, you must find Young Master Bai's trace for me!"
