Qin Yuzhi had no idea who these three people in front of her were, and her head was full of question marks.
It was just like falling asleep in a university lecture, waking up, and then attending another class, only to find out it wasn't her own class...
“I see that you completely don’t understand.”
Li Mo's face was serious, his voice deep.
“...Should I understand?”
Before Qin Yuzhi fell into slumber, her Yi Soul suffered a severe blow.
Now she was forcibly rebooted, and upon waking, she almost encountered what seemed to be the revival of the First Immortal of the Nine Heavens, scaring her Soul nearly out of her body.
All she knew now was her identity, the reason for her slumber, and some scattered memory fragments.
“My name is Li Mo, and the whole thing started like this... During the New Year, Ying Bing had a strange dream.”
Time was pressing; the people outside could lose their patience at any moment.
Li Mo was concise, first introducing himself and Ying Bing.
Then, starting from the Black Nian Beast, he quickly recounted their journey to this place.
“You broke through Yunmeng Palace all the way here.”
“But because of the anomaly in Yunmeng Palace, many other forces were attracted, and they also arrived outside Crystal Palace, just a step behind you, and now they’re blocking the way outside?”
“So that’s it...”
Listening to Li Mo's detailed explanation, the Huanshen Sect Leader Qin, from either the Demon Summoning Sect or Huanshen Sect era, roughly understood what had happened.
She frowned:
“But how could the anomaly in Yunmeng Palace attract so many forces...”
“Hmm, that’s not the point.”
Li Mo looked at the ceiling and lightly coughed:
“The problem now is that the people outside definitely won’t let us leave easily.”
“Hehehe... nothing to worry about.”
Qin Yuzhi chuckled faintly, her hands clasped behind her back, exuding a confidence that everything was under control.
She was tall, only slightly shorter than the Ice Cube, with bangs covering one eye. Although she had seemed timid and cowardly before, she now looked like a Sect Leader-level figure.
“Oh, right, what kind of existences are outside?”
“The current Dynasty’s Crown Prince, and his Dao Protector.”
“Crown Prince?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuzhi’s expression remained unchanged as she pulled out the red middle tile and opened it.
So this thing is actually a sumaru object?
Li Mo couldn't help but inwardly complain. Then he watched as she took out a bronze whip from it. It had eight sides, each carved with a different totem, appearing majestic and solemn.
“This object was the Imperial Whip bestowed by the former emperor upon his ascension, passed down to every Huanshen Sect Leader.”
“It strikes down corrupt rulers above and treacherous officials below. Let alone the Crown Prince, even the Emperor would tremble upon seeing it!”
“That powerful?”
Xiao Li leaned back slightly, solemnly extending his hands.
This was simply the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths version of the Imperial Sword!
“It’s quite authoritative.”
Qin Yuzhi saw Li Mo's unworldly expression.
She handed the Divine Whip to him, reluctantly allowing him to touch it and admire it.
“Tsk, this craftsmanship, this material.”
As soon as Li Mo took it, he felt its heavy weight.
The carvings on it were intricate, a marvel of craftsmanship, and the material was extraordinary, sharing the same composition as the few rare divine irons in his System space.
And, it vaguely had the scent of a hammer treasure?
But what puzzled Li Mo was that with such material and craftsmanship, it should be a divine weapon, so why was it completely devoid of spiritual energy...? freewebnovel.cσ๓
He flipped it over to look.
Li Mo frowned:
“Made in the early years of Great Shang’s Tianwu era... Which former emperor bestowed this?”
“Silly, of course it was Emperor Tianwu!”
Qin Yuzhi rolled her eyes. This kid didn't even know that.
Li Mo: “...”
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Qin Yuzhi asked, puzzled.
“You’re using a whip from the previous Dynasty to strike the Crown Prince of the current Dynasty?!”
Li Mo slapped the whip onto the ground with a thud.
It made sense when he thought about it. In the current Great Yu Dynasty, the Emperor was supreme.
How could there be things like an Imperial Sword in the hands of a Sect that worshipped gods?
It seemed the Great Shang Dynasty was somewhat close to a divine right of kings...
“You brat, why did you drop my whip!”
Qin Yuzhi was initially furious, but then she felt something was off.
“What do you mean ‘previous Dynasty’...”
“The Great Shang fell thousands of years ago! Now, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are unified, the Great Yu Dynasty has pacified the four seas and eight wastes, ruling jointly with the Sects.”
Sect Leader, times have changed!
The amount of information was immense.
Qin Yuzhi felt as if struck by lightning, her legs trembling.
“Great Shang is gone... How could Great Shang be gone? This was the kingdom she protected... By the mandate of Heaven...”
She murmured to herself, involuntarily glancing at Ying Bing.
Then ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ she lowered her gaze, looking profound, and continued to be bewildered.
After a while, Qin Yuzhi recovered from her brain-dead state:
“If it’s just the current Crown Prince and his Dao Protector, within Yunmeng Palace, I’m not entirely without the power to fight.”
“That person is Jingtai’s own imperial uncle, at the Middle Stage of Controlling Mystery,” Tian Miao said.
Ying Bing gazed outside Crystal Palace and softly said, “He wields the Dao of Heavenly Tribulation.”
“Dynasty Dao Protector... Dao of Heavenly Tribulation?”
Qin Yuzhi’s expression froze. Her Dao of Dreams was completely suppressed by this Dao.
Moreover, she was at a disadvantage in terms of Realm.
“Oh, right, there’s another group of people?”
“Uh... The other group, actually, you used to be their leader, though that was a long time ago.”
Li Mo lightly coughed, a bit unsure how to phrase it.
“Oh? My Divine Sect still exists?!”
Qin Yuzhi’s eyes lit up, and she straightened her back. She chuckled:
“That’s right, my Sect has a long history, traceable back to the Divine Demon era, how could it be gone...”
“Correction, it’s the Demon Summoning Sect,” Li Mo reminded her.
Qin Yuzhi: “?”
Li Mo didn't know what changes had occurred in between, so he stated what he knew:
“The Demon Summoning Sect is now infamous, its crimes too numerous to count. Each of its halls doesn't do anything humane, especially the Hundred Beast Hall, which even preys on its own members. In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, they are now hated by everyone and deserve to be executed.”
“The Great Yu Dynasty has issued a decree: anyone found to have joined the Demon Summoning Sect can be beheaded immediately, without waiting for autumn.”
“The Demon Summoning Sect becoming like this is likely due to the leadership being corrupt. If your identity is exposed, neither the Demon Summoning Sect nor the Great Yu Dynasty will tolerate you.”
“Ah?”
Qin Yuzhi slumped to the ground, her eyes unfocused, as if she had lost her Soul.
Li Mo said with a heavy heart, “Although the Demon Summoning Sect is a demonic Sect, it hasn’t done absolutely nothing good.”
“Such as?”
“It has promoted the advancement of several laws in the Great Yu Dynasty, such as anti-fraud laws, anti-smuggling laws, and laws against human organ trafficking...”
“...”
Huanshen Sect Leader Qin’s bent back finally broke.
Seeing her sitting on the ground, hugging her legs, with what looked like a rain cloud above her head, she probably wished she could just lie back in her coffin.
It seemed there was no hope for her.
Rumble—
Outside, thunder rolled, dazzling heavenly light flashed, and Crystal Palace vibrated with a hum.
A destructive aura seemed to pierce through the palace walls, making one’s hair stand on end, filling them with dread.
But it was precisely when this bolt of lightning flashed.
A flash of inspiration struck the Genius Xiao Li’s mind!
“I have a way!”
