"Who are you?"
Feling the lethal intent from behind, Shangguan Tianhong was instantly terrified and quickly stepped back several steps. He fearfully glanced over his shoulder at the person behind him, and then broke into a cold sweat.
This was the first time he felt such fear after waking up.
The person behind had long, jet black hair that cascaded down to their shoulders. Their eyes were a combination of red and blue, resembling those of a beast lurking in the depths of a mysterious abyss. Their presence exuded an aura that was terrifying and chilling to the bone.
Not to mention that he had never seen such a terrifying person since waking up, even in the ten thousand years before, he had rarely encountered anyone who could impose such a sense of oppression on him.
Prior to coming to the Tianmo Sect, Shangguan Tianhong had heard that there was a rank-one master in the Tianmo Sect who was extremely powerful and even frightened many rank-one masters from the Central Plain.
But he heard that the elder brother had been poisoned and was now unconscious. He had previously expressed grievances when he heard this, not mentioning that the female emperor of the demon cult, Liu Wuxin, was not there, and even if she were there, he would still be able to overthrow the Tianmo Sect.
However, now that he saw the woman in front of him, who matched the description of the demon cult's Empress Liu Wuxin, he was suddenly at a loss and flustered.
"Are you the Demon Cult Empress Liu Wuxin?"
Noticing that the other party did not respond, Shangguan Tianhong directly opened up and asked bluntly.
Liu Wuxin did not open her mouth, and her eyes, with their unusual colors, shifted to glance at Yun Chunqiu and Zhang Long not far away. Her expression suddenly became colder. After sweeping over the chaotic scene around the capital city, her anger surged forth.
"Since I fell into a coma, a lot of things have happened. Some cats and dogs dare to come to my Tianmo Sect and cause trouble. Do they really think that Tianmo Sect is easy to bully?"
"Fine, since the entire Nine Zhou Continent is coveting my Tianmo Sect, but this time, I will make you all remember your lesson again. I want to see who dares to come here and cause trouble."
Liu Wuxin's voice resounded loudly, her eyes were filled with a cold color, which made the face of Shangguan Tianhong, who had just heard these words, change drastically.
"Filthy, who are you calling a cat and a dog?"
Shangguan Tianhong roared in anger, admitting that when Liu Wuxin appeared, he had indeed lost his composure. However, the other party couldn't have been so insulting to him.
"You"
Liu Wuxin lightly exhaled a single syllable, and as soon as the words fell, her figure flashed and appeared suddenly in front of Shangguan Tianhong. She struck out with a palm, and faintly, black mist swirled within the palm.
The terrifying aura, and the constant waves of dark energy permeating the black mist, all sent shivers down people's spines.
Shangguan Tianhong retreated several steps, his face twisted with fear. Although he had never fought with Liu Wuxin, he had heard about her deeds.
After his reincarnation, Zhang Tianlin had faced Liu Wuxin and had barely survived after being struck with just one palm from her.
Such a cruel blow in a millennium ago would only be comparable to one or two others.
"That woman is truly as strong as described in the rumors, no wonder Brother is so determined to kill her."
Shangguan Tianhong muttered something in his mouth and then leaped into the air, striking out with a palm of power in the void.
A giant palm, as if from the ancient times, suddenly descended from above, with a terrifying might that caused the earth to shake.
Liu Wuxin met this palm with her own, extending a palm of black mist and clashing it with the huge palm print.
In a blink, Liu Wuxin stepped back several steps, while Shangguan Tianhong was thrown back hundreds of zhang, spitting out blood mist, his eyes red with a hint of fear in them.
"Very strong"
In the blink of an eye, the decisive victory in the high-level duel, with one palm strike, Shangguan Tianhong had already realized that he was impossible to surpass Liu Wuxin. If it came again, he would probably perish here.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Tianhong stepped on the void and hurriedly fled.
"Don't even think about running away"
Liu Wuxin coldly roared and chased after at full speed...
Central Plains
Chen Mo and Er Mo, who had just left the Snowy Town, encountered an old man in their path. After seeing the other party's appearance, Chen Mo's anger slightly subsided.
"Mr. Gu"
"Ancestor Tao, the elixir I prepared for you has been completed."
Gu Shan chuckled and smiled, his gaze gentle as he stared at Chen Mo. Suddenly, a box the size of a palm appeared in his hand.
Seeing the jade box in Gu Shan's hand, Chen Mo couldn't help but show a smile on his face. He quickly walked up and took the jade box, opening it with great secrecy. Inside were two elixirs of similar color and shape.
If not closely examined, one might not be able to distinguish the two elixirs.
"Mr. Gu, I won't say thank you for the elixirs. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I must bid you farewell."
"Is Master Tao in a hurry?"
Gu Shan raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, then suddenly as if remembering something, he smiled and said, "Is it that you, Master Tao, are worried about the matter of the Tianmo Sect?"
Chen Mo slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "I have a close relationship with the Tianmo Sect. Now that the capital of the Tianmo Sect in the imperial capital has been breached, I cannot sit idly by..."
"If it's about that, Master Tao need not worry. The crisis of Tianmo Sect has been resolved."
"What did you say?"
Chen Mo furrowed his brow, puzzled and staring at Gu Shan.
Gu Shan smiled and explained, "After Master Tao came to find me, I was not only refining elixirs but also had people investigating your whereabouts. When I learned that you had close ties with the Tianmo Sect, I had several of my disciples go to the Tianmo Sect... ”
"I had already learned about the great disaster in the Tianmo Sect from my disciples' transmission stones, and I had thought of going to resolve it. But before I could leave, I received news that the crisis had been averted."
"Then... Is there a rank-one master who helped?"
Chen Mo pondered for a moment. If Zhang Long were able to defeat them, the Tianmo Sect would surely be safe. But since the city had been breached, that meant Zhang Long was very likely to have been defeated.
"Moreover, perhaps the high-level experts who came to join Tianmo Sect because of his name were defeated. To turn the tables and achieve victory meant that there must be a rank-one master helping them."
"It is, but it is also not."
Gu Shan lightly shook his head, "It was Empress Liu Wuxin of the Tianmo Sect who intervened."
"How can that be?"
Chen Mo was puzzled, but since Gu Shan did not seem to be joking, he took it seriously.
Chen Mo was curious and asked, but Gu Shan was also only half-informed, as he was not present on the scene and knew only what his disciples had reported to him.
Although he didn't know the details, upon learning that Liu Wuxin had recovered and that the crisis in Tianmo Sect had been averted, Chen Mo finally felt relieved.
Instead of hurrying to Youzhou, he chose to stay in the Snowy Town, waiting for Chu Ruomeng and Xiao Dou Ding to come.
However, by nightfall, neither had arrived, so Chen Mo decided to stay in the Snowy Town temporarily until the next morning. Only then did he see Little Bean Sprout and Chu Ruomeng rushing towards him.
When they saw Chen Mo, both were taken aback, their faces filled with curiosity.
"Brother, you shouldn't have come until yesterday, why are you still here..."
Little Bean Sprout frowned slightly, his face full of curiosity.
"Liu Wuxin has awakened."
Chen Mo's simple five words caused Little Bean Sprout to involuntarily pause, "How can it be... Liu Wuxin, isn't she poisoned?"
Chen Mo lightly shook his head, "I also don't know about this, but it might be because she forced her spirit power to stay awake. If that's the case, the serious poisonous backlash will be very severe..."
So that's why you're waiting for me to come and detoxify Liu Wuxin... Little Bean Sprout thought to himself, but saw Chen Mo say again, "You two were following behind us, weren't you? How could you only come today..."
