Chapter 39 Your Majesty, do you remember Little Mengshan...?

Han Qi unleashed a palm strike, as solid as an iron monument and as heavy as a mountain. The chilling aura pierced the air and the ice descended, freezing those who couldn't retreat in time.

Iron Monument Hand bravely blocked Thunder Blade.

Lei Jun's swordsmanship and lightning sword are both of the middle grade of the Divine Treasure Guide, weaker than Han Qi's, and his cultivation is also inferior to Han Qi's.

The two exchanged a few blows in the blink of an eye, and with a "bang," Lei Jun was no match for him and was forced to retreat repeatedly.

"How dare you disobey the imperial decree!"

Han Qi's defeat of Lei Jun enraged the white-haired old man in golden robes. He unleashed the overwhelming power of the Great Dao, striking down like a mountain of five fingers.

The Great Dao pressed down on the city, and the entire Demon Slayer Division was suppressed in a single move.

Han Qi was startled. With his Iron Stele Hand, he pierced the air, a stele reaching the sky, cracking the ice, and slammed down towards the Five Finger Mountain that was suppressing him.

The disparity between the two sides was too great. The opponent was a powerful expert of the Great Dao Divine Treasury, and even Han Qi, who was at the fourth level of the Great Perfection of the Guidance Realm, could not withstand it.

With a muffled thud, Han Qi, who had been soaring through the air, was knocked down, spitting out blood.

"I am an envoy of the ancient Li royal court, entrusted by the divine dynasty to detain Liu Chengfeng. Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy."

An old man with white hair stood there, his golden robes fluttering, towering over the capital, his aura of power overwhelming.

"The royal envoy carries the imperial decree."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators in the capital were shocked.

The Ancient Li Royal Court, an existence on par with an ancient kingdom, intimidates Qingzhou.

Liu Chengfeng's expression changed; finally, a big shot had arrived.

"Escape quickly——"

Nangong Renshe appeared beside Liu Chengfeng and told him to run away.

Liu Chengfeng did not flee; his gaze turned icy as he stared at the envoy from the Ancient Li Royal Court.

"take away!"

The envoy from the ancient Li royal court, with his imposing presence, suppressed the Demon Slayer Division and ordered Lei Jun and Pan Nuolin to arrest Liu Chengfeng.

Lei Jun and Pan Nuolin immediately pressed forward.

"roll--"

Han Qi stood in front, unyielding and unyielding.

Han Qi led the way, while all the powerful members of the Demon Slayer Division drew their swords and stood guard at the entrance.

Han Qi and Zhan Mo Si are loyal only to Qiu Chi Huang.

Without Emperor Qiuchi's order, no one can take Liu Chengfeng!

"Those who disobey will be killed without mercy and their lands will be trampled to the ground."

The envoy from the ancient Li royal court regarded them as ants and ordered the Denglong Holy Sect to carry them out.

Such an overbearing demeanor shocked the cultivators in the capital; the ancient royal court was indeed extraordinary.

"clang--"

Gunfire rang out, the might of the Great Dao was unleashed, and divine skills pierced the air.

A cold light flashed, eclipsing the sun in the sky; a single shot pierced the air with unstoppable force, as if it would overturn the entire capital.

The spear pierced the air and arrived. The royal envoy was terrified and shouted, unleashing a devastating attack that surged forth with the might of the Great Dao.

But it still couldn't stop this shot; the divine skill was dazzling, defeating ten thousand enemies.

With a loud bang, blood splattered as the royal envoy was knocked down from the sky and landed on the long street, leaving a large hole in it.

With a single shot, not only was the envoy of the ancient Li royal court shot down, but his entire entourage was also killed.

Blood splattered from the sky, staining a long street red.

Divine skills pierced the air, blood splattered down the streets, and the entire capital was filled with a chilling atmosphere; no one dared to breathe.

"Emperor Qiuchi—"

The cultivators in the capital city felt a chill run down their spines, realizing who had made the move.

Qiu Chihuang, the strongest person in Qiu Chi Kingdom, and the only person in Qiu Chi Kingdom to have cultivated a divine skill.

The envoy from the ancient Li royal court's expression changed drastically. A spear slashed down, nearly killing him.

If Qiu Chihuang really wanted to kill him, this one shot would be enough to take his life.

This is a warning: even if he is a member of the Ancient Li Royal Court, Qiu Chihuang will still dare to kill him.

Qiu Chihuang's unparalleled skill with a single spear thrust greatly inspired the entire Demon Slayer Division.

The envoys from the ancient Li royal court were suffocating them with their oppression, but Emperor Qiuchi turned the tide with a single move.

"Emperor Qiuchi".

Liu Chengfeng murmured to himself, "This spear strike is indeed powerful, possessing a divine quality; it must be a divine scroll technique."

"Brother Wu has come from afar. I have failed to greet you properly. My apologies."

With a loud laugh, purple mist rose into the sky, and Grand Marshal Ye Ziyang appeared.

“Brother Wu is an honored guest. I will host a banquet to welcome him and wash away the dust of his journey. As for the matter of his arrest, we will discuss it and then give Brother Wu an explanation.”

"Very well, I await an explanation from your Qiuchi Kingdom."

The envoy from the ancient Li royal court looked grim, and Ye Ziyang's attitude was a way of giving him a way out.

"Please come to my humble abode, Brother Wu, so that I may do my best to be a good host."

Ye Ziyang invited Wu Yuanqing, the royal envoy, but Wu Yuanqing snorted and entered the Grandmaster's Mansion.

The people of the Ascending Dragon Holy Sect could only retreat; they were unable to capture Liu Chengfeng.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still uneasy.

Liu Chengfeng also had this premonition that the Ancient Li Royal Court and the Denglong Holy Sect would not give up so easily.

What roles do Qiu Chihuang and Ye Ziyang play in this story?
"Let's go quickly, I'm afraid Qiuchi Kingdom can't be saved."

Nangong Ren was terrified and wanted to escape with Liu Chengfeng.

The decree of the Divine Dynasty, the order of the Ancient Li Royal Court, and the execution of the Ascending Dragon Holy Sect—such a powerful force—could not possibly protect Liu Chengfeng, given that Qiuchi Kingdom was only a Grandmaster-level power.

"You can escape the monk, but you can't escape the temple."

Liu Chengfeng shook his head, showing no intention of fleeing. On the contrary, he was eager to try, wanting to eliminate any enemies who were detrimental to him.

Han Qi cast an admiring glance at Liu Chengfeng. He crossed his arms and leaned against the door, seemingly not stopping Liu Chengfeng from escaping.

Liu Chengfeng's words proved prophetic: one can escape the monk, but not the temple.

Since the Ascending Dragon Holy Sect couldn't attack the capital of Qiuchi Kingdom, they started with the Rising Cloud Sect.

A guest arrived at Qiyun Sect. He flew in through the air, dressed in flowing white robes, with a jade flute hanging at his waist. He was handsome and elegant, with a smile on his face, but the smile was full of murderous intent.

"If you don't hand over Liu Chengfeng within three days, we will destroy the Qiyun Sect."

The white-robed youth gave the order, and the might of the Great Dao surged forth, sitting atop the Qiyun Sect and suppressing the entire sect.

A loud alarm rang out at Qiyun Sect, causing chaos throughout the sect and terrifying its disciples.

"Master Ma, the young leader of the Ascending Dragon Holy Sect!"

The Grand Elder and his group were shocked, and the incident also alarmed all parties in Qiuchi Kingdom.

"The Holy Sect of Ascending Dragon is determined to succeed."

"Who dares to disobey the decree of the Divine Dynasty?"

When other sects learned of this, they were all horrified, realizing the terrifying power of the Divine Dynasty, and trembled with fear.

Zhao Tian, ​​who had been incorporated into the divine dynasty, issued an edict to sacrifice Liu Chengfeng alive, and even an ancient kingdom like the Guli Royal Court had to obey the decree.

The powerful Denglong Holy Sect obeyed unconditionally.

When the news reached the capital, it caused a huge uproar, and everyone was shocked.

"Oh no, I'm going to get reinforcements."

Nangong Renshe's expression changed drastically; he was horrified and immediately left. "I'm going back—"

Since the matter originated from him, Liu Chengfeng could not sit idly by.

"No, you stay in the capital."

Nangong Renshe wouldn't let Liu Chengfeng go; going would be suicide.

"Brother, brother, come with me, come with me."

Su Youqian rushed in like a gust of wind, grabbed Liu Chengfeng, and rushed out.

"Where to go?"

Su Youqian didn't even ride in his own carriage, nor did he bring any beauties. He grabbed Liu Chengfeng and rushed forward at top speed.

"Go see His Majesty, only His Majesty can save Yunzong."

"Qiyun Sect is far away, you can't help them from a distance, and even if you went to help, you would only be throwing your life away. The Old Madam is closer than you, she has already set off."

"The old matriarch can only sit and oversee the Qiyun Sect. If she wants to take action, she needs His Majesty's approval. Otherwise, the old matriarch wouldn't dare to start a war."

Su Youqian led Liu Chengfeng and rushed towards the palace.

"Thanks for the rescue, brother."

Liu Chengfeng was grateful; in his time of crisis, Su Youqian had shown great righteousness and provided full support.

“Brother, what are you saying? If it weren’t for you repelling the beast tide, our Su family of Tiger Hill would have been reduced to ruins long ago, with hundreds of our members perishing.”

"We, the Su family, understand the importance of repaying kindness."

The palace of Qiuchi Kingdom was magnificent, with flying eaves and high walls, and was heavily guarded. Standing in front of such a huge palace, one felt small and timid.

Outsiders were not allowed to enter the palace, and it was even more difficult to see Emperor Qiuchi.

Su Youqian was the heir to the throne and was deeply favored by the royal family. He rushed into the palace with Liu Chengfeng, and no one stopped him.

Deep inside the palace, Su Youqian led Liu Chengfeng to a grand hall.

The main hall exudes an imposing aura, surrounded by palaces and buildings, resembling the center of an imperial capital.

Su Youqian slowed his pace, took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and dared not be presumptuous or disrespectful.

"Brother, wait for me here."

Su Youqian gave the instructions in a low voice, and then went inside.

After a while, Su Youqian came out and let Liu Chengfeng in.

"His Majesty wishes to see you."

Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath and slowly walked in.

Liu Chengfeng walked into the main hall, stood in front of the red steps, where a jade table was placed and a person sat high on it.

"You finally came."

A voice came from behind the jade table; it was melodious, like metal and stone, yet it possessed an air of authority.

"It's you--"

When Liu Chengfeng saw the person sitting behind the jade table, he was dumbfounded.

The person sitting high up was actually a woman, dressed in a dragon robe, with undulating breasts and an icy face, yet her beauty was undeniable.

With willow-leaf eyebrows and phoenix eyes, she possessed an awe-inspiring imperial presence.

Liu Chengfeng was stunned; he had seen this person before.

At Xiaomeng Mountain, in front of the divine tomb, the woman in the phoenix feather and dragon armor is the same woman standing before us.

Liu Chengfeng felt a chill run down his spine. He never expected that the woman in the phoenix feather dragon armor was none other than Qiu Chi Huang!
Before the tomb of the gods, he had flirted with her, touched her face, and called her "little lady."

At this moment, Empress Qiuchi's face was as cold as ice as she looked down at Liu Chengshi, her imperial aura overwhelming.

Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath, met the icy gaze of Empress Qiuchi, and bowed to her.

"I have met His Majesty."

What else could he do? He could only bite the bullet and go for it, since he needed someone's help now.

Empress Qiuchi did not speak, her icy gaze fixed on him, her imperial aura so oppressive it was hard to breathe.

Given the situation, Liu Chengfeng accepted it and met her icy gaze without fear.

"You want to save the Yun Sect?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please lend a hand."

Liu Chengfeng composed himself, for this matter concerned the very survival of the Qiyun Sect and could not be taken lightly.

"it is good."

Empress Qiuchi readily agreed, surprising Liu Chengfeng, who thought he had misheard.

"Your Majesty, state your terms."

Liu Chengfeng did not believe in the existence of a free lunch.

"Go and fetch me the fire."

"Li Huo?"

Liu Chengfeng immediately thought of the ancestral hall and the Lihuo River.

"That's right, it's the Li Huo from the Li Huo River."

Empress Qiuchi saw through Liu Chengfeng's thoughts.

Liu Chengfeng became even more curious. Although the ancestral hall was in the Grandmaster's Mansion, it was still under the control of Qiu Chihuang. Why was he sent to retrieve the Li Huo?

"Go and retrieve the Fire of Departure. Lady Chen will intervene and return successfully, rewarding you with a secret manual of martial arts techniques."

Empress Qiuchi offered very generous terms.

The more generous the offer, the more uneasy Liu Chengfeng felt.

If obtaining the Fire of Departure were so easy, Empress Qiuchi could do it with just a word.

"Are there any cultivation techniques to take?"

Liu Chengfeng didn't believe that a free lunch would fall from the sky.

"That's right, as long as you can get the Fire of Immortality, I can give you the Scroll of Wisdom."

"No other conditions?"

Liu Chengfeng doubted that such a good thing could exist.

"If you pledge your allegiance to me, the future will be even more abundant."

"no."

Liu Chengfeng flatly refused. He was willing to negotiate terms after rescuing Yun Zong, but it was absolutely impossible for him to pledge allegiance to anyone.

"One thing at a time. I'll go get the Li Fire and ask Lady Chen to help."

"Can--"

Empress Qiuchi nodded in agreement.

Without saying a word, Liu Chengfeng turned and left.

"What if I don't come back alive?"

As Liu Chengfeng reached the door, he stopped and turned back.

"Lady Chen continued to repel the enemy."

"Alright, you wait for my triumphant return. I will take the Little Fire."

Liu Chengfeng laughed loudly, exuding an imposing and fearless aura, and walked out.

Empress Qiuchi stared at Liu Chengfeng's proud and fearless back for a long time without saying a word.
