Chapter 363 The Empress Who Reigns Supreme

The soft moonlight shone down from the night sky, illuminating the dark forest.

The boy standing on the ground and the celestial maiden descending from the sky looked up and down, their gazes meeting in mid-air.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, no longer moving forward.

A gentle breeze blew from afar, lifting the boy's outer garment and the celestial maiden's feathered robe.

This moment of eye contact felt like eternity, yet also like a fleeting instant.

This was a reunion with an old friend in a foreign land.

This was a gaze that spanned thousands of miles.

In this atmosphere, Luo Hao spoke first, breaking the silence.

"My fellow countrymen, why don't you bow?" Luo Hao said as if he were interrogating someone. "Even in a foreign land, when you encounter someone who is more advanced, you should bow and greet them. This is the way of being a person, and even more so the way of being a king."

His voice was still as beautiful as heavenly music, but the aura of dominance he exuded completely changed the feeling this Chinese martial arts king gave people.

If she was a fairy descended from the Jade Pool before, she is now an empress who reigns supreme.

But this is Luo Hao, the leader of the martial arts world in China for more than two hundred years, and the leader of the Five Prisons Holy Sect.

"...That was indeed somewhat impolite."

Aize finally snapped out of his surprise at suddenly encountering Luo Hao. After closing his eyes for a moment, he opened them again and was completely calm.

"Meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign land should be a joyous occasion, let alone meeting an ancestor from our hometown."

In this world, Luo Hao is a cultural promoter who follows the philosophies of Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi, has followed the Quanzhen School, and has introduced Buddhist elements into Taoism. In addition, she has ruled the martial arts world for more than two hundred years, founded the Five Prisons Holy Sect, and left behind a great legacy of martial arts. Calling her an advanced and sage is not wrong at all.

Many famous martial arts and even magic arts in China today were created by Luo Hao. All the martial arts in China can be said to have inherited her martial arts philosophy, thus creating a vibrant Eastern martial arts world that is in no way inferior to the birthplace of magic, Europe.

In the eyes of Westerners, this far-eastern island nation is just a remote rural area, but that ancient Eastern country is a mysterious place in the entire magic world, and is revered and coveted by countless people.

If it weren't for Luo Hao and his Five Hells Holy Sect protecting the land of China, the Celestial Empire in this world would surely have been ravaged by countless Western countries, just like in the world of Aize.

However, because of Luo Hao's presence, while it cannot be said that none of this happened, at least the forces on the mystical side dared not act recklessly in the slightest.

Are you kidding? That's the territory of a peerless villain who can rival Marquis Vauban, one of the oldest beings among the Godslayers. Which force would dare to cause trouble there?

Therefore, Aize felt that calling Luo Hao an advanced person, a sage, or a senior was not an exaggeration at all.

only……

"Before that, let me figure out your purpose first," Aize said calmly, arms crossed. "At least, let me find out whether you're friend or foe first."

"I see." Luo Hao looked at the calm-faced Aize, then suddenly smiled and said, "You thought I came here to be your enemy?"

It must be said that Luo Hao is indeed very beautiful. When she suddenly smiles like this, the impact is not small.

Looking at that smiling face, Aize even thought that if this woman had been born in the era of King Zhou, Su Daji probably wouldn't have had a chance.

Having experienced so many fantasy worlds, Aize has seen all kinds of beautiful women, including some so beautiful that they could be remembered in history. But even among them, Luo Hao's beauty is almost unmatched.

Perhaps Aize's subjective bias is also at play here?

After all, he was a true-blue Chinese, and his fondness for classical Eastern beauties was definitely greater than that for exotic beauties.

Therefore, it is undeniable that Aize did not actually harbor much hostility towards Luo Haosheng.

But that's not the truth.

“I have been a Godslayer for less than a month, but I have already encountered two Godslayers and fought against each of them.” Aize said truthfully, “You are the third one of my kind that I have met. Like the other two, you came uninvited and appeared suddenly.”

"Furthermore, even in foreign countries, I have heard that Master Luo Hao lives a secluded life in the Lushan Temple and rarely engages in worldly affairs."

"Now that you've suddenly appeared here, right in front of me, I can't possibly assume you're here to make friends, can I?"

Even if Luo Hao wanted to befriend Aize, given her domineering and self-centered personality, it was possible for Aize to visit her first, but for him to take the initiative to befriend her was absolutely impossible.

as predicted……

"I have come here to find you because I have important business to discuss."

Luo Hao seemed weightless; with a light touch of his toes on the branches, he floated down and landed in front of Aize.

"While it is reasonable for an advanced person to teach an outstanding junior, you have already proven your ability, so I don't need to go to any more trouble."

As he spoke, Luo Hao looked at Aize with admiration in his eyes.

"In less than a month, King Cheng has already killed five pillar gods and repelled Marquis Woban. Your performance has exceeded my expectations."

"Although you are a few years older than Ying'er, your qualities are clearly much higher than Ying'er's." "It's a pity that I didn't meet you before you became king, otherwise I would definitely have taken you as my last disciple, granted you the position of Holy Son of the Five Prisons Holy Sect, and let you inherit my mantle."

To receive such praise from the self-important and arrogant leader Luo Hao, probably only Aize in the entire world would do so.

"you flatter me."

Aize didn't feel particularly honored. After all, he was no longer the same as before. He was on the same level as Luo Hao, or even higher. Why should he feel honored to be valued by the other party?
"What important matter did the leader mention that he sent you here in person?"

Aize was quite curious about this.

As mentioned earlier, Luo Hao was actually a recluse, or to put it simply, a homebody who rarely went out.

Having been a god-slayer for over two hundred years, she sometimes spends several years or even decades in the Lushan Temple.

Aize couldn't help but be curious about why this person would suddenly come to see him.

Luo Hao did not hide this from the public.

"Originally, I only wanted Ying'er to guide you a little and let you know about this matter, but your defeat of the Marquis greatly exceeded my expectations and aroused my curiosity, so I decided to make this trip myself."

Although she rarely goes out, for Luo Hao, traveling far away is not a difficult thing.

Because she was a Taoist nun, she possessed many strange and supernatural powers.

One of these techniques is called "Shenzu Tong," which is a method of instantaneous teleportation.

If an ordinary person wanted to use this technique, they would not only have to spend a lot of time preparing, but also have to find a way to solve the problem of huge consumption, but Luo Hao was not among them.

She had already mastered the ability to travel to any place in the world with a mere thought, so she really only decided to come here on a whim.

Just minutes ago, Luo Hao himself was still in Lushan, which is proof of that.

She didn't even know her disciple was on this trip. If Lu Yinghua found out his master was missing, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause.

What's frightening is that even if Lu Yinghua doesn't realize his master is missing, he'll probably still give him a good scolding when Luo Hao returns.

He didn't even notice that his beloved master had disappeared. This was a dereliction of duty as a disciple and proof that his training was insufficient... Luo Hao would definitely think this, and then he would give Lu Yinghua a good beating.

It can only be said that being able to become Luo Hao's disciple was a blessing for Lu Yinghua...

Given Luo Hao's unreasonable personality, it's fortunate that Aize didn't actually meet her before becoming a god-slayer, nor did he become her disciple, otherwise, who knows what kind of life he would have ended up in.

"Please speak frankly, Master."

Aize waited for Luo Hao to speak.

Do you know about the Western Heavenly Palace?

Although Luo Hao was unreasonable and domineering, he never hesitated to get straight to the point.

"The Western Heavenly Palace?" Aize raised an eyebrow and said, "You've come for the Monkey God?"

"Oh?" Luo Hao looked at Aize with some surprise and said, "So you already knew?"

“I already knew that.” Aize shrugged and said, “It’s part of Nikko Toshogu Shrine, a shrine on Mt. Nikko in Tochigi, that’s Saitengu.”

"It is said that it is an important sacred site for the guardian deity, and a shrine that the Kufuzuka family has been protecting for generations."

The Nine Famous Houses mentioned by Aize are naturally one of the four great families, along with the Saya-miya family and the Seishu-in family.

Unlike the Sayamiya and Seishuin families, which hold high positions and great power at the national level, this family still holds a very high status and has very important responsibilities in the world of sorcery.

They have always guarded the Western Heavenly Palace, worshipped the gods there, acted discreetly, and practiced secrecy, hiding most of the information within the Western Heavenly Palace.

In view of this, many people only know that the Western Heaven Palace exists and that the God is enshrined there, but almost no one knows the reason for that or what the God's true face is.

However, both of the two god-slayers present, Aize and Luohao, knew the secret behind it.

Because the deity enshrined in this Western Heaven Palace is a hero god of their country.

This deity is not being worshipped, but rather being sealed away and exploited.

"Since you already know of the existence of the Divine Lord, why do you turn a blind eye to it?" Luo Hao frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "Our country's hero is actually being imprisoned by the Japanese. As the king of the Chinese land, you should not sit idly by."

Upon hearing this, Aize smiled.

He laughed heartily.

"I never intended to stand idly by and do nothing about this, did I?"
