Covering the Sky: The Years I Was the Empress's Strictest Master

Several terrifying old monsters opened their eyes, their murky, aged gazes locking onto Li Qingjue, their eyes filled with warning and scrutiny.

But they only issued warnings; no one took any action to deter them.

This woman has a terrible reputation, and at this moment she seems to have made great progress in her cultivation, making her strength unfathomable. Her state is also very strange.

No one wants to be the first to speak out unless they are absolutely certain, or until the woman actively infringes on their interests.

Hey!

Finally, under the watchful eyes of countless people,

Li Qingjue arrived at a void about ten thousand miles away from the tomb, and then randomly chose an uninhabited meteorite fragment and stood on it.

shuh...

During this time, as if sensing something, her lonely gaze beneath the bronze mask landed precisely on the jade boat not far away...

No, to be precise, Li Qingjue was looking at the two stunningly beautiful people on the jade boat who looked exactly alike!

Deng!Deng!Deng!

Just one glance, a single glance without any extraordinary power or divine intervention.

Chi Xuan, who was silently sensing the changes in the spiritual energy of this place indirectly through her own primordial spirit body, was suddenly struck as if by a heavy blow, and staggered back several steps on the deck.

Finally, he let out a muffled groan, and a trace of bright red blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Yes, given the difference in their levels of understanding, she didn't even dare to directly assess the other person.

Furthermore, they did not even indirectly sense the strange, indescribable dark aura emanating from the other party's body.

Even so, she was subjected to a scrutinizing look from this demon, as if a calamity had struck her unexpectedly.

But she wasn't the only one who suffered.

Beside her stood her older sister, Chi Yao, whose cultivation was several minor realms higher than hers.

At this moment, she seemed to be under the scrutiny of the female demon as well, and her condition was not much better than hers, with two shocking lines of bloody tears streaming down her beautiful eyes.

Chi Yao's blood surged, her delicate body tensed, her brows furrowed, and her thoughts raced like lightning.

Countless people gazed at them from afar, but why did they alone attract that person's attention?

Is it because of the sisters' special physical condition?

shuh...

Fortunately, the female demon only glanced at them once and then stopped, without scrutinizing them further.

But precisely because of this lack of context, it only added to Chi Yao's and her companion's suspicions, leading to numerous guesses and a bewilderment about the other party's motives.

Was it just a casual glance that caught his attention?

Or is it more meaningful?

The twin lotus blossoms seemed to be lost in thought, but they were destined never to guess why.

Since they can't even see the other person's face under the bronze mask right now, how can they know what the other person is thinking?

At the same time,

Li Qingjue, who had turned his gaze away from the meteorite fragment, also had a faint look of doubt in his eyes.

She certainly wouldn't be idle. While innate Dao embryos and primordial spirit bodies are indeed rare, those who possess such physiques are still too "weak".

The former was only at the initial stage of the Saint King realm, while the latter was only at the peak of the Saint realm. Their inner essence still needed to be nurtured before it could be used more effectively.

However, since various groups have gathered here, while similar rare and unique physical constitutions are not numerous, they are not extremely rare either.

These people were already hers to keep from the moment she arrived, and didn't deserve her extra attention.

But the faint, almost negligible sense of familiarity she felt about the two women had indeed piqued her interest just now.

What is it?

She whispered to herself,

Then she slightly raised her head.

At this moment, her gaze seemed to pierce through the chaotic energy and invisible restrictions gushing from the tunnel, staring directly into the depths of the dark cave entrance, lost in deep thought.

Even so, standing there alone, she remained the center of this boundless area for a long time.

Because of her immense and unpredictable power, all the noise, strife, and intrigue in this place seemed to temporarily freeze upon her arrival.

The atmosphere was so heavy it was suffocating.

"What...is she trying to do?"

Someone transmitted their voice through divine thought, and their voice trembled.

"I don't know... In previous years, wherever this woman appeared, there were rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. It was definitely not a good thing!"

"The Demon Emperor's Tomb was already dangerous, and now this killing god has arrived, adding even more variables..."

"Let's wait and see. On the bright side, perhaps... she can test the waters for us and see what's really going on at the end of that tunnel?"

During the telepathic conversation, some people harbored a sense of侥幸 (a lucky break).

On the jade boat, Song Canghai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But his brows remained furrowed; when that female demon's gaze fell upon him just now...

He tried to use his divine power to stop the two women from scrutinizing him, but his body stiffened for a moment for no reason, as if he had been frozen in place and could not move.

With this woman here, the situation is too unpredictable.

"Yao'er, Xuan'er, are you alright?"

He looked at the two women wiping the blood from the corners of their eyes and mouths and asked them with concern.

"Don't worry, Uncle, we're fine."

Chi Yao and Chi Xuan regulated their surging qi and blood, then looked at each other, both seeing solemnity in each other's eyes.

This trip to the Demon Emperor's Tomb is likely to be a hundred times more dangerous than anticipated.

Unbeknownst to everyone, in a hidden void far away, shrouded in supreme Dao patterns,

Two indifferent gazes were fixed on Li Qingjue's retreating figure.

It is precisely Kun Zhou and Di Que!

"She really didn't die... and she's even stronger now."

Kun Zhou's voice was hoarse:

"We received news that the good-for-nothing from the Golden Cave and that cowardly fellow failed in their pursuit of the Heavenly Profound Princess and both perished. It is suspected that this is related to the indestructible golden body of the world and a mysterious artifact..."

And then this woman appeared at this moment…

Upon hearing this, Di Que's gaze deepened:

"Then what is your opinion, Uncle?"

"Hmph, let her enjoy herself for a few more days. The Demon Emperor's Tomb... isn't so easy to enter, that tomb raider's tunnel..."

Kun Zhou gave a sinister smile, a strange light flashing in his eyes:

"The 'clues' we 'accidentally' discovered and disseminated regarding the tomb robbers' tunnels and the sacred treasures within the tombs,"

It must have worked already. Now, let's see how many fools will 'pave the way' for us.

…………

Chapter 204 It truly makes me doubt, you are the flesh and blood born of my Holy Spirit (6K long chapter, please subscribe!)

As Kun Zhou finished speaking, Di Que nodded, but this time remained silent.

Compared to his shrewd and calculating uncle, he himself was not enthusiastic about it.

He longed for a more open and righteous confrontation, to unleash his boundless ambition.

……

Outside the tomb robber's tunnel.

Time passed slowly in a subtle and oppressive atmosphere.

About half a year has passed.

boom!

A violent tremor ran through the area where the "Demon Emperor's Tomb" was located. The restricted field around the tomb robber's hole suddenly dimmed by more than half, and the supreme aura that was gushing out also weakened considerably.

"Look!! The barrier has weakened to its lowest point!"

"Now! This is the opportunity! Fellow Daoists..."

"The Demon Emperor's legacy is mine!"

At this moment, the cultivators who had been waiting for a long time went wild.

Whoosh!

Swoosh... Swoosh...

And no one knows who took the lead, but countless streaks of light, like locusts passing through, rushed towards the end of the deep tomb!

In an instant, shouts of battle and screams echoed through the outer starry sky.

In a battle to gain the upper hand, a chaotic fight broke out right at the entrance of the tunnel.

Rumble!!

Rumble... Rumble...

Hey!

Amidst the roar,

Li Qingjue also moved at this moment.

Her figure transformed into a streak of black light, arriving before the enemy and ignoring the cultivators fighting along the way.

Wherever she went, cultivators who approached her, whether friend or foe, were sent flying backward as if they had crashed into an invisible wall, spitting blood.

She was the first to rush into the deep, dark tunnel that was spewing forth a weakening demonic aura, and disappeared.

"Quick! Stop hitting them... Someone's gone in!! Follow them!"

"We can't let that devil gain the upper hand!"

Seeing the Devouring Demon enter, the geniuses and old monsters of those great clans no longer stood idly by.

The heroes displayed their unique abilities, transforming into streaks of dazzling light as they rushed into the tomb.

"Yao'er, Xuan'er, stay close to me!"

On the jade boat, Song Canghai also let out a low shout.

Immediately, he activated his Great Sage power to envelop the two women of the Chi family and his two sons, transforming into a hazy, azure light that squeezed into the surging crowd and rushed into the tomb.

However, at this time,

Boom! ! !

A deafening, even more muffled and massive roar instantly overwhelmed all the other sounds in the area, as if it came from the deepest part of the netherworld!

The voice wasn't loud, yet it subtly contained a strange penetrating power.

The deafening roar ignored the turbulent space and chaotic energy currents within the tunnel, clearly echoing in the hearts of every cultivator who rushed into the cave.

thump...

Upon hearing the sound, even those with weaker cultivation levels felt their souls tremble violently, their blood and qi surge, and their forward momentum faltered.

"What...what is that sound?!"

"It sounded like... a coffin hitting the ground?"

"Could it be... that the demon has already penetrated deep into the core of the Demon Emperor's Tomb?"

"No...no! This sound is coming from outside!"

Suddenly, a strange thing happened. Exclamations of surprise erupted from inside the tunnel, and many cultivators turned around in astonishment and uncertainty.
