Chapter 399 The Empress is Above
Boom!

The gates of the Phoenix Palace burst open, and four figures stood before Zhang Yu one after another.

Zhou Minghuang, who was in the lead, looked at the three blood talismans with a serious expression and said in a deep voice:

"A fifth-level Qi and Blood Talisman, sent by the King of Zhen Dong and the others!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the blood talisman flashed with blood energy, and finally condensed into different sounds:
"Donghuang Taiyi and Prime Minister Lü are working together and cultivating their profound skills in the Purple Bamboo Forest Cave in the South China Sea. They are about to break through to the sixth level of the realm."

Once the sounds disappeared, the blood runes coalesced into three different images.

That was the scene in the Purple Bamboo Forest Cave Heaven of the South China Sea, where Donghuang Taiyi and Prime Minister Lü were in seclusion, breaking through to a higher level.

"What? These two have actually joined forces, and they're about to break through to the sixth level of the Transformation Realm?"

Zhou Minghuang's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and she even lost her composure.

She had witnessed the power of the sixth level of the Qiongming Realm before; the scene of shattering space with a wave of the hand was still fresh in her memory.

A fifth-level expert is like an ant in front of him.

"How could His Excellency Donghuang possibly be two-handed with Prime Minister Lü? Haven't we Yin Yang School fought against him for hundreds of years?"

Zhao Yang and the others looked as if the sky had fallen, their worldviews almost shattered.

Zhou Minghuang glanced at the three sisters and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhang Yu, what should we do now?"

"If Donghuang Taiyi and Prime Minister Lü break through to the sixth level, we'll be in big trouble!"

"Could this be a false message sent by the Prince of Zhen Dong?"

Zhao Yang, looking at Zhou Minghuang's deliberately affected manner, pursed her cherry lips and said:

"You should know that our Yin-Yang School's Donghuang is a mortal enemy who has fought with Prime Minister Lü for hundreds of years."

"Soul-death enemies?" Zhou Minghuang scoffed.
"If there were truly a life-or-death feud, how could we have never clashed with you disciples in the past few hundred years, and instead only sent you disciples to your deaths?"

"In my opinion, the two of them might even be treacherous cronies."

"If we wait for them to break through, we might all die!"

“Impossible!” Zhao Yang shook his head.

"His Excellency Donghuang is our master and has even saved us. How could there be any problem with him! Even if His Excellency Donghuang has truly broken through, he will not be a threat to us."

Yuexi nodded as well.

More than 20 years ago, the three sisters' families were massacred by a group of mysterious martial arts practitioners. At the critical moment, it was the Yin-Yang School who appeared and saved their lives.

From then on, they joined the Yin-Yang School.

With their exceptional talent, they were quickly chosen by Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School and taken as his disciples, to be trained as the future Dongjun, Yueshen, and Xingzun of the Yin-Yang School.

Given this situation, how could they possibly suspect that Donghuang Taiyi would be detrimental to them?

"really?"

Zhou Minghuang asked again.

"Of course it's true. We three sisters are the future Dongjun, Yueshen, and Xingzun of the Yin-Yang School, and we are also disciples of the Donghuang Emperor. Why would the Donghuang Emperor attack us?"

Xingyao retorted confidently.

Zhou Minghuang, that wicked woman, had bullied her earlier, and she was furious right now.

"Oh, you are the future Dongjun, Yueshen, and Xingzun of the Yin-Yang School. Do you know where the current three are, and who were in office before them?"

Zhou Minghuang asked with a smile, her expression still calm and composed.

Xingyao snorted coldly and said, "Weren't they all missing?"

Zhou Minghuang slowly walked to Xingyao's side, her slender hand touching Xingyao's lips, and said with a smile:
"Every Dongjun, Yueshen, and Xingzun of the Yin-Yang School was a fifth-level expert. Do you really believe the nonsense that three of them have disappeared without a trace?"

“This…” Zhao Yang, Xing Yao and the other two were suddenly shocked.

They hadn't thought much of it before, but now, after Zhou Minghuang's reminder, they suddenly realized something was amiss.

Yuexi watched the three people facing off, quietly moved next to Zhang Yu, and subtly put her arm around his chest. "Brother Zhang, why don't you use that Heaven-Asking Pearl to ask?"

"That's possible, but aren't you afraid that Donghuang might actually have a problem?"

Zhang Yu smiled faintly, then flipped his hand, and a golden pearl appeared in his palm, bobbing up and down.

"Probably not."

Zhang Yu nodded and said calmly, "Asking about the Heavenly Pearl, does Donghuang Taiyi intend to harm Zhaoyang and the others? If so, give a reason."

As soon as the incantation was uttered, the Heavenly Pearl burst forth with countless rays of light, and then a text of light and shadow appeared on it:

Twenty-five years ago, three beams of starlight fell from beyond the heavens into the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Donghuang Taiyi, who was observing the stars, happened to witness this scene and sent people to investigate the traces of the starlight.

After more than a year of calculation and searching, the Yin-Yang School finally determined that these three rays of starlight were born into three great families within the Great Zhou Dynasty, and their cultivation aptitude was unprecedented.

At Donghuang Taiyi's command, the families of the three baby girls were completely wiped out, and the babies were taken into the Yin-Yang School and became Donghuang Taiyi's disciples.

"This...this is impossible!"

As Zhao Yang stared at the text continuously spewing from the light screen, along with those familiar yet unfamiliar scenes of genocide, her pretty face turned deathly pale.

As for Yuexi and Xingyao, they were even more miserable at this moment, with drops of cold water constantly sliding down their cheeks.

The pain in my heart is indescribable.

It turns out that the master who saved them and taught them cultivation techniques was actually the culprit who destroyed their family.

Zhao Yang finally broke down, a tear rolling down her cheek, her voice becoming hoarse, "Why, why did this have to happen?"

The light screen text that the Heavenly Pearl transformed into continued to evolve.

With the resources poured into them by the Yin-Yang School, the three sisters cultivated to the late stage of the fourth level in just over twenty years. Once they reached the fifth level, they could harvest the harvested crops to refine the supreme elixir.

However, before Donghuang Taiyi could live to see that day, he was terrified by Zhang Yu's ability to casually kill a mid-stage fifth-level cultivator, realizing that he was about to be driven to a dead end.

So, he gritted his teeth and went all out, immediately recalling the largest split soul of 'Prime Minister Lü', intending to forcibly merge with it in the Purple Bamboo Forest Cave in the South China Sea, and break into the sixth level of the realm in one fell swoop.

As Zhang Yu's magical power and blood energy continued to decrease, another scene appeared on the light screen formed by the Heavenly Pearl.

There, two figures clad in golden robes stood with their feet and palms firmly stuck together, their magical power distorting and deforming the surrounding space.

Zhou Minghuang had no time to concern herself with why Donghuang Taiyi and Prime Minister Lü were the same person.

At that moment, she shouted anxiously:

"This is bad. They are already at the half-step sixth level. If this trend continues, they will most likely break through to the sixth level once they fully integrate."

"No, we have to stop them right now!"

"Wait, there's no Great Teleportation Array connecting the Imperial City to the southernmost part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It's too late, too late. We've lost completely this time..."

At this point, Zhou Minghuang deflated like a punctured balloon, feeling utterly powerless.

The difference between the fifth and sixth rank is like the difference between heaven and earth.

That's all, that's all!
She sighed inwardly, then hugged Zhang Yu tightly: "Little Yu'er, turn on the live chat broadcast. I want to show Jiang Luoxue what it means to be 'the Empress above all'!"
