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

"Stubborn and obstinate".

King Gu shook his head slightly, as if sighing, but his eyes were devoid of any warmth.

His gaze swept across the area, but he did not see the child with the indestructible golden body within the village.

Tan Lin is indeed not here.

As soon as Xiang Li sensed the arrival of someone from the Feathered Divine Dynasty, he sent them to the bottom of the abyss.

Faced with this unexpected turn of events, perhaps in his eyes, only there was a glimmer of hope for the child?

Little did he know that his actions might cause the Xiang family to suffer more avoidable casualties.

"You've hidden them well. How dare a mere fallen Golden Body family block the path of my Divine Dynasty? Since your Xiang family doesn't know what's good for you, then... let's wipe them out."

After a brief and fruitless search, Valley King's gaze grew even colder.

Before he finished speaking, he slowly raised his right hand, and silver divine light condensed between his five fingers. Strands of divine laws gathered and arranged, eventually transforming into a hazy illusory image of a celestial seal.

Although the immortal seal was ethereal, it subtly triggered the roar of the Great Dao, and the aura it emitted made the mountains and rivers of the entire Crimson Cloud River groan, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Li's pupils shrank sharply. He roared and then chose to burn his own source and essence blood, wanting to fight to the death.

hum...

In his hand, the dilapidated spear that had survived the turmoil tens of thousands of years ago was revived at this moment, emitting an indomitable hum.

In an instant, the spear erupted with a fierce killing aura, soaring straight into the sky with Xiang Li.

But this amount of power is nothing more than throwing an egg against a rock in front of the immortal seal held by that high-level saint king.

Below, the tribesmen's eyes were bloodshot with rage.

In the crowd, many women held their children tightly, closed their eyes, and could not bear to watch Xiang Li's tragic death in battle.

And at this critical moment...

A woman's voice, as clear and majestic as a gentle breeze, seemed to descend from the heavens, resounding clearly in the ears of everyone present:

"Is that so? I'd like to see how you plan to annihilate the human race!"

The moment the sound rang out.

High in the sky, the illusory silver immortal seal that was about to descend upon Xiang Li vanished silently, as if brushed by an invisible breeze.

Almost at the same time.

Amidst the stunned gazes of everyone, the sky above Chixia River seemed to have been gently torn open by an invisible, wondrous hand.

However, it seemed as if a dazzling divine light was gushing out from the crack, with countless rays of light and auspicious colors.

Amidst the divine glow, countless purple-gold lotus blossoms bloomed out of thin air, while the phantom of a divine phoenix cried out, and the true dragon Dao patterns swirled around.

At this moment, spiritual energy gathered wildly, transforming into a shower of shimmering flowers that drifted down from all around.

In the center of that purple-gold divine light, a stunningly beautiful celestial figure slowly stepped out.

Chapter Ninety-Five: Where is my dear nephew?

clatter……

A celestial figure descends, gliding across the water.

She wore a simple white gown with a flowing hem, embroidered with scenes of spring, autumn, and decay.

As she moved gracefully, the patterns seemed to flow slowly, revealing the mysteries of the heavens.

Her hair was as black as ink, loosely tied up with a simple jade hairpin, with a few strands falling beside her cheeks, adding to her unparalleled elegance.

Her beauty is beyond description in any words.

Even with a light veil covering her face, she was still as beautiful as a fairy. Only the beauty mark at the corner of her right eye, as clear as autumn water, made everyone present feel that she still existed in this world.

Da...da...

At this moment, all around is silent.

Time and space seemed to stand still at this moment.

"Gu Qingying" stepped out of the void and walked over step by step.

Her aura was breathtaking, aloof and unparalleled, yet also possessing a contradictory domineering sharpness.

She seemed to stand aloof from the mortal world, yet in the casual glances of her eyes, she revealed a captivating and natural allure.

It's truly incredible that one person can possess several different contradictory traits that blend perfectly within her, creating a breathtaking and stunning effect.

the end.

She descended completely above the stone village, positioned between the Xiang family and the cultivators of the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

Just by standing there, it seemed to steal all the color and brilliance from the world.

Her skin, exposed outside her dress, was as clear as jade, shimmering with a faint, lustrous glow under the divine light, revealing her icy skin and jade-like bones.

The sun and moon paled in comparison to her, and mountains and rivers lost their luster beneath her feet.

At this moment, the Great Sage's aura descended silently, like a divine mountain that spans countless ages!

It wasn't a deliberate release, but rather her very existence that caused everyone here to worship her, to subconsciously submit to her.

"Since the passing of the Feathered Emperor, your Feathered Divine Dynasty has acted without restraint for the past two or three thousand years. Now, haven't you overstepped your bounds a bit?"

Gu Qingying's lips parted, her voice carried on the wind.

Her purple-gold eyes were hidden beneath her clear, autumn-water gaze, and no one here could see through the illusions within her.

"This kind of aura? How is this possible?! You've only been a Great Sage for a few years..."

On the spot, the majestic divine radiance surrounding the Valley King fluctuated violently.

Under Gu Qingying's gaze, his voice trembled, and he dared not move, completely different from before.

The Great Age of today has been underway for less than ten years. Before this, all those who ascended to the Great Sage Realm were exceptionally talented individuals, and such figures are few and far between in the entire Big Dipper.

He immediately recognized the other person's identity.

But the feeling he got from the other party, that overwhelming sense of oppression, was even greater than that of the elder who was stationed in the Central Plains Imperial Court and whose cultivation was at the fifth level of the Great Saint realm.

Is the other party really just the Great Sage?

Is it true that he only broke through to the Great Sage realm less than ten years ago?

Tianling's icy gaze swept over.

The four saints from the Feathered Divine Dynasty behind King Gu performed even worse.

Their faces were ashen, and they remained silent, not daring to utter a single word.

Under that immense, star-like pressure, their bodies began to hunch uncontrollably, first their backs, then their knees, and finally even their heads became difficult to lift.

On the other side...

Apart from a very small number of people who went to the Snow Valley initially, the rest of the Xiang family members were all stunned.

They stared blankly at the peerless celestial figure in the sky, their minds completely blank.

Great Sage!

This behemoth, who usually stands at the pinnacle of the Big Dipper, is rarely seen, yet today he has descended upon their impoverished Xiang family.

It seems they intend to support the Xiang family and resolve their current crisis?

"Spring and Autumn Pavilion, Goddess Gu..."

Xiang Li's voice was dry.

He recalled the conversation he had in the snow valley years ago.

In retrospect, what the other party said back then was by no means a casual remark.

The other party is indeed paying extraordinary attention to Lin'er.

When they rushed to Snow Valley, it was already there, although the other party denied it and did not know Lin'er's origins.

But when they finally took the child away, they established a seemingly inexplicable "aunt and nephew" relationship.

For the next ten years, there was no news of the other party, so he gradually stopped caring. He never expected that in this sudden crisis, there would be no need to send word, and the other party would actually come to the rescue.

This made him think a little more...

Could she and Lin'er be true aunt and niece?

Xiang Li's thoughts raced as he landed on the stone wall of the fortress from the sky, spear in hand, before looking ahead.

There, Gu Qingying stood suspended in mid-air, having now descended to quell the conflict. Her gaze fixed on the Feathered Divine Dynasty Valley King, she said calmly:

"The Undying Golden Body lineage has made great contributions to the world. Now that this lineage has declined, they are sharpening their knives and are ready to exterminate the human race at any time. How ironic."

Perhaps due to concerns, she did not reveal her true intentions or her relationship with Tan Lin directly.

From the moment she appeared until now, she gave the impression that she was only offering help out of gratitude for the past achievements of this lineage and because they were both located in the Southern Region.

After speaking, seemingly dissatisfied that the five people, who appeared to be facing a formidable enemy, remained motionless, she frowned slightly, and a hint of coldness crept into her voice:

"Aren't you going to get lost?"

Once the words were spoken, the last word "get lost" was like a divine decree, causing the clouds in the sky to gather and disperse.

bang...

In front, the Valley King's protective divine light exploded.

He grunted and took three steps back in mid-air.

Boom... Boom...

With each step he took back, a section of the void beneath his feet collapsed.

Once he regained his balance, he looked up in horror, his eyes no longer showing any composure, but only deep fear and apprehension.

Despite being separated by a vast realm, he was utterly powerless against his opponent, like a child.

This woman's control over her own Dao and her mastery of every ounce of power have reached a state of perfection.

"Goddess Gu!"

King Gu gritted his teeth; he had already decided to retreat.

However, with so many eyes on this place, it is not appropriate to retreat in such a disgraceful manner. This would damage the status and divine power of the Feathered Divine Dynasty in the eyes of all living beings since the Feathered Emperor moved the Daoist lineage to the Big Dipper.

"This concerns the affairs of my Feathered Divine Dynasty. Although our Dynasty's Emperor is not in the Northern Dipper..."

He was about to utter some harsh words.

"Noisy."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, "Gu Qingying" raised her hand and pointed at him from afar.

"puff……"

With a single finger, no one present could see what happened. King Gu was struck as if by a heavy blow, his protective divine light shattered completely, and he was sent flying tens of thousands of feet away.

The blood he spat out drew dazzling, scattered arcs in the sunlight.

Even though the four saints behind him did not directly face Gu Qingying's attack, they all coughed up blood and their auras weakened.

"If you don't leave now, you'll stay forever."

Tianling Rouyi was slowly lowered down.

Her tone was flat, as if she had merely brushed away an annoying fly.

She had no fear of the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

Although the Tianxuan Ancient Clan was buried in the turmoil at the end of the Primordial Era, and the ancient imperial weapons no longer exist.

However, her soul is already one with that of the Divine Silkworm Princess, and if necessary, she can borrow the essence of the Divine Silkworm Ridge to retrieve the Divine Silkworm Immortal Robe.
