Chapter 14: The Empress of a Past Life!

To tell of Lu Changsheng's return to the thatched cottage.

The materials for the Nine Nether Yellow Spring Array had all been prepared.

Now, the array foundation was laid; all that remained was to irrigate the formation with the Yellow Spring River water, which served as the array spirit.

An ancient killing array of a generation would thus reappear in the world!

With a flip of his hand, Lu Changsheng lifted the Yellow Spring River water pearl.

The pearl transformed into a wisp of rosy light and flew into the center of the great array!

The moment it entered the array!

The pearl turned into Yellow Spring River water, dispersing and swirling around the formation, transforming into a massive, bright yellow dragon!

This yellow dragon, formed from the waters of the Yellow Spring, was the array spirit of the formation.

An extremely powerful aura of slaughter and an intent of annihilation rose simultaneously, continuously drifting above the thatched cottage!

Even passing birds and beasts would turn away in terror upon sensing it.

However, there was no need to worry about others discovering the anomaly at the cottage.

Upon the cliff.

A willow tree swayed a branch, completely isolating the movements and aura of the thatched cottage.

No one could probe it!

At that moment.

A voice of astonishment sounded beside Lu Changsheng.

"What kind of great array is this? It is even much stronger than the national protection array I once possessed?"

It was the voice of a young woman.

Lu Changsheng turned his head to look at her, showing no surprise on his face.

After all, this woman had escaped from the Nine Nether Underworld with him earlier.

"Isn't that a given?"

How could an array recognized by the willow tree be anything ordinary?

The woman wore a red and white battle robe, her fiery red hair tied up, giving her an air of heroic spirit!

She had willow-leaf brows, red lips, and a delicate, elegant nose.

Her skin was as white as jade, appearing as radiant as morning clouds reflecting on snow even without makeup.

Her eyes were as brilliant as a sea of stars, making them unforgettable at a single glance.

However, the woman carried an invisible imperial aura, as if she could command ten thousand armies to submit!

"But, you were only a spirit body when you followed me out just now. Why do you have a physical body now?"

The woman shook her head and said, "Nothing to report."

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng shrugged and did not ask further.

After all, he wasn't particularly eager to know.

Just then.

A piece of information entered his mind.

【Hong Ying. Cultivation Method: Nine Revolutions of Samsara. To undergo nine reincarnations; with each reincarnation, one must discard the cultivation of the previous life, but talent will increase with each life. Only those with a special constitution can practice this.】

There was such a cultivation method?

Immediately after, a long-awaited mission was issued.

【Please accept Hong Ying as your disciple. Due to the high difficulty, the rewards will be even more bountiful.】

【Name: Hong Ying】

【Talent: SSS-grade】

【Aptitude: Samsara Holy Body, Imperial Aura, Potential to become an Emperor】

High difficulty?

Lu Changsheng looked at Hong Ying, who was observing the array from the side, and nodded to himself.

Given her temperament, it would indeed be quite difficult.

This woman possessed a sense of pride.

Unlike Ye Qiubai's unyielding spirit or the stubbornness of a swordsman.

Hong Ying's pride was a disdain for everyone, as if everyone else were a level below her!

This pride stemmed from that imperial aura.

It made one instinctively want to submit.

At the same time, Hong Ying had the qualification for it.

But this imperial aura... could it be that Hong Ying's previous life was an Empress?

【Correct. Hong Ying was the founding Empress of the Yunhuang Empire.】

Having received confirmation, Lu Changsheng finally understood.

Only in this way could such an imperial aura be cultivated.

However, this imperial aura had no use for Lu Changsheng.

This left Hong Ying extremely astonished.

If an ordinary person felt her imperial aura, they would likely have been shaken to their very soul!

How could Lu Changsheng remain as calm as he was now?

However, Lu Changsheng's next words truly startled Hong Ying.

"So, do you want to take me as your master?"

"What?" Hong Ying's eyes widened in surprise. "You want me to take you as my master?"

"What, unwilling?"

Hong Ying smiled and said, "Perhaps you are not yet qualified."

Lu Changsheng shrugged; he hadn't expected to make a former Empress her master with a single sentence.

"However, I shall stay here for a while to recover my strength."

Without waiting for Lu Changsheng's nod, she casually picked a wooden hut and walked inside.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng said nothing more; after all, there was plenty of time.

"I wonder how that kid Qiubai is doing..."

Lu Changsheng had thought about going down the mountain to help Ye Qiubai, but after thinking it over, he shook his head and dismissed the idea.

This was, after all, Ye Qiubai's own matter.

It was his own inner demon, and he had to resolve it himself.

Only then could Ye Qiubai's path of the sword move forward without hindrance.

...

At this moment,

In Tianyuan City.

Walking down the street, Ye Qiubai couldn't help but feel sentimental.

Not long ago, he had been forced to flee from here.

But back then, he had lost all his talent and his cultivation was destroyed.

Now that he had returned, his talent had returned to its peak, and his cultivation was even greater than before.

Along the way, people had already recognized him.

"Look, isn't that the former genius of the Ye family, Ye Qiubai?"

"Eh? Why has he returned to Tianyuan City? Didn't he leave to save his life?"

"And he's heading toward the Ye family. Could it be he wants to return to the clan?"

"His cultivation was gone long ago, and his talent is like that of an ordinary person. How could the Ye family take him back?"

"Let's go, we'll understand once we see!"

Suddenly, many people on the street dropped what they were doing and followed Ye Qiubai.

They also wanted to see what purpose Ye Qiubai had for returning this time!

One must know that the current Ye Qiubai had countless enemies seeking his life!

Seeing this, Ye Qiubai did not care and allowed them to follow.

The news spread through Tianyuan City like a plague!

At the Jiang Family.

The head of the family, Jiang Tianhan, sighed upon hearing the news.

"After all, Chan'er wronged him... Pass my command, we are going to the Ye family."

Jiang Tianhan thought that if anyone tried to kill Ye Qiubai, he would step in to protect him.

After all, the Jiang family owed Ye Qiubai.

They were fellow enemies among the four great families.

"Young Master! Young Master!"

A servant rushed into the pavilion.

Looking at the man surrounded by beautiful women, the servant panted, "Something... something bad has happened!"

Chou Siwu growled darkly, "If this isn't important, I will throw you into the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes to feed the serpents!"

Hearing this, the servant's heart trembled, but he suppressed his shaking and said, "Ye... Ye Qiubai is back!"

"Hmm?"

Chou Siwu's pupils constricted, and he instinctively covered his chest.

There was a sword scar there.

Inflicted by Ye Qiubai.

Countless pills could have removed the scar, but Chou Siwu had rejected them all.

Because he wanted to use it to drive himself.

Until he personally took Ye Qiubai's head!

"What is he doing back in Tianyuan City?"

The servant replied, "I... I don't know, but he headed toward the Ye family."

A sinister smile appeared on Chou Siwu's face. He pushed the woman beside him away and donned his brocade robe.

"Let's go. Call the death soldiers and follow me to the Ye family!"
