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

"died."

"What a coincidence? How did they die?"

"We don't know yet; we're investigating."

"..."

The conversation between the two groups continued for a long time in the open space.

There were only seven or eight people outside the Feathered Divine Dynasty.

Apart from the alluring woman with a graceful figure and beautiful face, the rest of them were all incredibly vigorous and tall, with some even as robust as iron towers.

They were dressed in uniform dark purple armor, with ancient battle patterns occasionally flashing in the night light, exuding an aura of dominance.

The leader was a cold-faced young man with sharp eyes like a hawk. His blood energy was so powerful that even a trace of it unintentionally spilled out was unparalleled in this place, making him look like an ancient humanoid dragon!

"Forget it, we don't care about the messy affairs of your Feathered Divine Dynasty. I only care about whether this deal can continue now that that person is dead."

The young man said in a deep voice.

"That's natural..."

The person in charge, whose helmet was adorned with a dazzling blue feather, smiled slightly.

Its aura was as deep and unfathomable as an abyss, and even though the young man in front of him had that kind of blood flowing through his body, he was not afraid at all.

Besides, this is Beidou!

"That's good..."

Upon hearing this, the young man's expression softened considerably.

As he spoke, he pulled his beautiful Daoist companion, who was standing beside him, into his arms. With her soft body in his embrace and her fragrance wafting around him, he was in a great mood. He then waved to the attendants behind him, signaling to open the coffin.

Bathed in the glow of her radiant body, the woman's beauty became even more captivating.

She nestled in the young man's arms, watching as the coffin lid slowly opened with the help of two attendants. She couldn't help but giggle sweetly at him:

"Yuhang, with this immortal golden corpse, we can present it to the eunuch at his grand banquet. Not only will it please him, but it will also be a great achievement. If the eunuch wins his duel with that person, he might even pass on the cultivation method of the fourth divine form to you..."

"I hope so. My bloodline purity is inferior to my third brother's, and in the competition among the clan's top lineages, I'm always at a disadvantage..."

The young man shook his head, not very optimistic.

"What if one could be granted a bottle of the Great Accomplishment Treasure Blood?"

The woman didn't take it to heart.

The Great Accomplished Precious Blood?

The young man's eyes widened, and he reached out to pinch his Daoist partner's pretty face:

"How could that be? You dare to even dream of it!"

click!

click... click...

As the two chatted and laughed, the coffin lid was already halfway open.

Over the sky.

Li Qingjue held her breath, staring intently at the coffin, tears welling up in her eyes.

The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of broken leg bones, with not a trace of flesh or blood left.

From this glimpse, she could already imagine that her brother in the coffin was most likely a pile of bones...

Tan Lin's remnant soul stood beside her, like a clay or wooden sculpture, showing no emotional fluctuations and remaining unmoved.

But for a fleeting moment, his eyes flushed crimson as he gazed into the distance.

shuh...

Before the coffin lid was fully opened, the young man impatiently used his divine sense to scan inside the coffin.

He will investigate the contents of the coffin to find out what is inside.

next interest.

His face darkened, as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

If this piece of rubble inside were offered to my father, let alone the Great Completion Precious Blood, he might not even be granted the Fourth Divine Form. He would be lucky if he didn't get a good scolding.

Clang!

With a loud bang, the immense power of the Overlord Blood erupted.

He abruptly lifted the coffin lid, startling the surrounding Ascended soldiers, who then fixed their sharp, hawk-like gazes on the Azure Feather leader:

"These are the corpses your Feathered Divine Dynasty used for trade?!"

"Tell me, isn't this the remains of an indestructible golden body?"

To this, the man with the green feathers smiled nonchalantly, then countered with a question:

"This is the first generation, born and nurtured by nature!"

Do you really think you can buy a corpse with its original essence and blood remaining, and a trace of spiritual energy still lingering, for the price you offered?

"If such a good thing existed, it would have been taken care of internally long ago. Why would it be available to your Hegemon Ancestral Star?"

"you……"

These questions left the young man speechless, a surge of frustration welling up inside him with nowhere to vent:

"Even if the origin and essence are gone, why are there no internal organs, flesh, or skin left? These bones..."

Do you still want this wreckage?

The man with the green feathers smiled, avoiding the question:

"According to the agreement, even if the deal falls through, the deposit will not be refunded by my Feathered Divine Dynasty. Think it over carefully. If you still want it, do it as soon as possible, after all, I have important matters to attend to."

"..."

The young man remained silent, his sharp eyes narrowing as he stared at the other person, while several servants behind him stirred with anticipation.

But in the end, he did not retaliate, thus stopping the secret actions of several servants.

"call……"

After letting out a long sigh, he actually laughed:

"Yes, of course I want it. Why wouldn't I? Xin'er, give it to him."

……

Chapter Eight: Borrowing the Passage to the Emperor's Palace

"The bones are already like this, and you still want it?"

The alluring woman seemed somewhat incredulous.

"Don't ask any more questions, just give him the things."

The aloof young man named Yuhang regained his previous indifference:

"take away……"

He waved his hand, and several servants stepped forward, carefully taking out a bronze coffin that exuded a chilling aura, and placed Li Fan's remains, which were covered with strange marks, inside.

They couldn't afford to be careless; the bones of this remains were more brittle than paper. If they hadn't checked repeatedly, they wouldn't have believed that this was an indestructible golden body.

Or is it the original?

Clang...

A moment later, the bronze coffin was sealed tightly. Because of the unpleasantness between the two sides, the group from Ba Xue Zu Xing did not want to stay any longer and prepared to leave the place first.

"Waaah...waaah..."

Mid-air.

Once again, her brother's remains were isolated from the world. Li Qingjue covered her mouth tightly, her eyes wide open, trying hard not to blink, but tears still silently streamed down her face.

Thanks to a little trick played by her master Tan Lin, she witnessed the scene below and heard the conversation of that group of people.

She didn't understand; her brother was already dead!

Why did these people take away the brother's remains?

What are we going to do with it?

Research? Experiment?

What are you researching?

Can't my brother be laid to rest in peace?!

She doesn't understand!

She really didn't understand...

"Waaah... Master... Master, could you... please..."

As the group of people in dark purple armor were about to leave, she looked up at Tan Lin with her small face, almost pleading.

But before she could finish speaking, Tan Lin coldly rejected her:

"No."

He didn't explain much. With the little bit of primordial spirit power he had reassembled, his strength was less than one ten-thousandth of what it was in his previous life. Now, he couldn't even connect with the Dao traces, which imposed many limitations on him.

Li Qingjue swayed; those two words shattered all her hopes.

Wow!

Just then, in the post station below, the man with blue feathers seemed to sense something, and his dark gaze suddenly swept upwards.

A sweep of divine sense revealed no abnormalities in the array patterns.

He searched in vain, frowned slightly, and assumed it was just his imagination, so he stopped paying attention to it.

"What are you looking at?"

The aloof young man in front of him was also made a little suspicious by his sudden outburst.

"I'm wondering if the people who wiped out Zhou Jie and his group are still here?"

"It's a man with green feathers," the man said slowly.

"Heh, if that's the case, then this place is even less suitable for lingering..."

The young man smiled and, without any hesitation, turned around and led the group onto the ancient warship that was floating outside the post station.

Boom...

Soon, the warship roared, tearing through this corner of the night sky, and disappeared from Li Qingjue's sight in the blink of an eye.

In the early days of the ancient era, one of their ancestral stars, a quasi-emperor with a powerful physique, once descended upon the Big Dipper and suppressed his own cultivation level to duel with an indestructible golden body at the peak of the Great Saint realm.

After a fierce battle lasting three months, the one who was "at the same level" finally suppressed and killed the indestructible golden body!

At that time, many people from the ancestral star formed groups to cross the starry sky to watch the battle. It was in the outer domain above the southern region of the Eastern Wilderness that a star domain jump and travel array that could be used for a long time was set up.

They used that magic array to jump from another star system to this location.

whoosh...

The moment the warship disappeared, Tan Lin also left the place with his young apprentice.

The two did not return directly to the abandoned brick kiln. On the way, Tan Lin seemed to deliberately take a long detour, wandering aimlessly through many deep mountains.

But as dawn broke that day, Li Qingjue's tattered little bundle already contained seven or eight more century-old spiritual herbs, yet he remained completely unaware of it, looking utterly dejected and listless.

She was still deeply grieving and devastated by the fact that her brother's remains had been taken away for research and experimentation.

Tan Lin glanced at her, seemingly feeling that her sense of powerlessness wasn't strong enough, and slowly spoke:

"This is the cruelty of the cultivation world. The weak cannot even protect the remains of their loved ones; they will only become expendable resources in the eyes of others..."

On the way, every word he spoke was like an ice pick, piercing deep into Li Qingjue's heart, and like a heavy hammer, making his head buzz.

This moment.
