Chapter 118: Shock, Empress’s Body Was Actually Covered in Red Threads of Fate

“Ah, what robust muscles.”

“Ah, what a strong physique.”

“Ah, so big!”

“?”

When everyone was marveling at Nie Chen’s comprehension of the True Body of Enlightenment and the profound scene of the supreme Lightning, a sudden change occurred.

As the last bolt of lightning struck down, Nie Chen’s clothes were unexpectedly unable to withstand the power of the lightning and began to slowly fall.

In an instant, the surrounding female disciples burst into a frenzy of exclamations.

Pairs of eyes were completely fixed on Nie Chen’s falling clothes.

“Quickly, it’s about to be seen!”

Mu Zhiying, accompanied by the female disciples beside her, had eyes that seemed to be shining with light.

But just then, she suddenly felt a figure blocking her view.

“Hey, don’t block me, I still want to see Senior Brother Nie.”

Completely focused on Nie Chen’s body, she impatiently pushed aside the figure in front of her.

“Move away quickly, we’re still watching Senior Brother Nie, it’s about to be seen!”

The female disciples beside her also showed a bit of anger.

“Sigh, strange, what a perfect physique, and so soft, does Heavenly Cloud Palace have a female disciple bigger than me?”

But suddenly, Mu Zhiying, who noticed that the figure blocking her view seemed a bit off, violently lifted her head.

In an instant, she was stunned.

Her face was immediately filled with fear and terror.

The female disciples beside her had faces that instantly turned pale.

They were shocked to discover that the person blocking their view was none other than Empress Qingyue!

Mu Zhiying’s tears instantly flowed out: “Empress, I didn’t mean to, I didn’t intentionally push you away. Next time, if I sneak a peek at Senior Brother Nie taking a bath, I won’t be so brazen!”

“Hmm?”

Noticing the sudden chill emanating from Chu Qingyue’s body, Mu Zhiying, who was overly frightened, had already become completely flustered:

“No, no, I mean… next time, I and Senior Sister will sneak a peek at Senior Brother Nie taking a bath, we’ll definitely bring Empress along!”

“Not, I…”

Noticing that she seemed to be digging her own grave with her words, Mu Zhiying covered her mouth with a crying face, no longer daring to speak.

But this time, just as Nie Chen’s clothes were about to completely fall off, Chu Qingyue no longer paid attention to Mu Zhiying and the others.

She stretched out her hand, and with a grasp, a non-transparent light enveloped Nie Chen, completely blocking everyone’s view.

“Sinful, who did this!”

“Too excessive, don’t you have any ladylike demeanor?”

“Damn it, I almost saw it!”

The female disciples let out a collective sigh, all of them looking at the source of the light with a bit of anger.

But in an instant, they became timid.

Empress Qingyue had personally taken action, who dared to say another word?

Especially the female disciples of Heavenly Cloud Palace, they all dodged their gazes, afraid that Empress would discover that they had been peeking at Nie Chen.

Watching Chu Qingyue control the light, slowly placing Nie Chen in the bedchamber, the cultivators who had come finally relaxed.

Especially the male cultivators, they all secretly let out a sigh of relief.

If they had really seen it, the excessive feeling of inferiority might have affected their spiritual core.

What a relief…

Just then, the abbot of Liuguang Temple, Master Fen Xiang, stepped out from the crowd, bowed his head, and respectfully said:

“Greetings, Empress Qingyue, congratulations to Heavenly Cloud Palace for having a disciple with the True Body of Enlightenment! I’m afraid that within two years, Heavenly Cloud Palace will have another powerful Emperor! I, on behalf of Liuguang Temple, offer my congratulations to Empress, and I’m willing to lead the monks of Liuguang Temple to pledge our allegiance to Heavenly Cloud Palace.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was shocked.

Although many forces had rushed to Heavenly Cloud Palace to express their loyalty at this critical moment, they hadn’t expected that Liuguang Temple, which usually ate vegetarian meals and chanted Buddhist scriptures, would be the first to take the initiative.

Since this was the case, they didn’t dare to hesitate any longer, or else they would lose the opportunity they had managed to seize.

“I’m willing to represent the entire Qingxia Palace and pledge our allegiance to Empress Qingyue and Heavenly Cloud Palace.”

“I’m willing to lead the disciples of Cloud Pavilion Sect and pledge our allegiance to Heavenly Cloud Palace.”

“Dusheng Sect is willing to let our disciples reform and attach ourselves to Heavenly Cloud Palace.”

In an instant, many sects expressed their stance.

Seeing this scene, the disciples and elders of Heavenly Cloud Palace were all secretly delighted.

These sects were all cunning and would usually not take a stand, but now they had finally made up their minds and were united in their allegiance.

“Hmm, since this is the case, Heavenly Cloud Palace accepts your allegiance.”

Chu Qingyue coldly looked around, and everyone bowed their heads, not daring to show any disrespect.

The majesty of the Empress, like a cold frost, pressed down on the surroundings, making these forces even more aware of the terrifying level of Empress Qingyue’s strength.

“Thank you, Empress, for your kindness!”

“Thank you, Empress!”

“Hmm, let’s discuss the rest later. Next, I need to heal Nie Chen’s wounds first.”

Just then, Chu Qingyue suddenly said coldly.

Everyone was momentarily stunned.

Although they were grateful to be among the first to pledge their allegiance to Empress Qingyue, they hadn’t expected that the Empress, who was rumored to be cold and unfeeling, would prioritize a disciple’s physical well-being over accepting the allegiance of the various sects, which could affect the entire world.

“Perhaps it’s because Nie Chen has the True Body of Enlightenment?”

“Maybe, but why do I feel that something is off? It’s not just that disciple, but Empress seems to be not as cold as before.”

“Are you sure?”

“From what I’ve gathered, it’s indeed the case.”

“Hmm, could it be?”

“Impossible, absolutely impossible, you’re just speculating wildly. After all, that’s Empress Qingyue we’re talking about!”

“Master Yue, I’ve heard that your sect has a secret technique passed down from the ancient Emperors that can observe a person’s threads of fate. Why don’t you take a peek at Empress?”

“Forget it, I also think it’s impossible…”

Master Yue hastily shook his head.

“What if it’s true? Are you going to let your ancestor’s secret technique go to waste?”

“Uh, this… fine, I’ll give it a try.”

After thinking for a moment, Master Yue finally agreed.

Using the secret technique to cover his eyes, he secretly looked at Chu Qingyue.

But suddenly, Master Yue’s body stiffened, and his expression was filled with shock and disbelief.

“What’s wrong? What did you see?”

Noticing his strange expression, everyone asked.

“Empress Qingyue’s body is covered in red threads of fate!”

Master Yue’s voice trembled with excitement!
