Chapter 309: Suppressing the Venerable, To the Emperor Mausoleum Depths

“The Venerable unexpectedly collapsed!”

At this moment, almost everyone was astonished and dumbfounded.

They had not imagined that the Venerable, who had just erupted with an imposing and majestic aura, would suddenly collapse in the next moment, allowing that melody to penetrate her body.

‘The Venerable is dead, but wasn’t her corpse controlled? How did she break free from the control and willingly give up…’

For a time, everyone looked at each other, but no one could understand what was happening.

But at this moment, a remnant soul suddenly surged slowly from the Venerable’s ghostly apparition.

This remnant soul completely lacked the death intent of the corpse; it even seemed to thoroughly resemble the Venerable in life.

Light red embroidered silk robes slowly danced. The remnant soul’s likeness had eyebrows like spring mountains, eyes like pools of water, a delicate face, a slender waist, and a graceful bearing.

Looking at the sky, many people were instantly stunned by her beauty.

However, the Venerable’s remnant soul’s gaze did not linger on anyone else. She seemed to smile as she looked at Nie Chen and Chu Qingyue.

Suddenly, the graceful remnant soul drifted down towards Chu Qingyue, her arms even softly embracing her neck.

“I apologize, my corpse was accidentally controlled by the entity in the depths of the Emperor Mausoleum.”

“Thanks to your love in this moment, I was able to recover my senses.”

“Such sincere love, even in life, I rarely saw.”

“Thank you for letting me know that there is such sweet love in the world.”

A gentle voice came from beside her ear.

And this voice, only Chu Qingyue alone could hear.

“Thank you~”

The Venerable’s wisp of remnant soul seemed to always wear a smile.

When the final two words descended, the remnant soul’s finger pointed to the middle path of the boundless blood-red roads leading to the depths of the Emperor Mausoleum.

“Thank you. That path is the true auspicious gate leading to the Emperor Mausoleum. May your love always be as sincere as it is at this moment.”

The Venerable’s remnant soul’s voice became increasingly ethereal.

The finger pointing to the Emperor Mausoleum also became increasingly translucent.

She had a faint smile on her lips as she glanced at Nie Chen and then at Chu Qingyue.

As if thoroughly content.

As the drifting voice grew increasingly distant, the Venerable’s wisp of remnant soul and the corpse lying on the ground transformed into a golden light and slowly dissipated with the wind.

Finally, it thoroughly dissipated within the Emperor Mausoleum.

The cultivators in all directions were astonished and dumbfounded. Chu Qingyue’s gaze was slightly stagnant at this scene.

She had not imagined that even a Venerable who once looked down upon the world and even committed suicide for her Dao Companion could be moved.

“Hmph, if the Venerable wasn’t lying, your feelings for this Empress are slightly, slightly…”

Chu Qingyue looked at Nie Chen, finding it slightly difficult to speak.

But in the end, she still spoke with a smile on her lips.

“Slightly good. This Empress is slightly satisfied this time!”

“Unexpectedly only slightly?”

Although the Empress’s praise was hard to come by, Nie Chen hadn’t imagined that the prefix “unexpectedly” would still be added to “slightly satisfied,” and he couldn’t help but smile.

“Wife, you’re a bit too tsundere.”

“How can this be? I’m just stating the facts. This Empress is not deliberately appearing indifferent!”

“… What I mean is!”

Chu Qingyue paced back and forth, clearly unable to figure out how to appear as if she didn’t care too much.

But at this moment, countless gazes gathered, and she had to temporarily give up arguing with Nie Chen.

She stared fiercely at Nie Chen, her gaze seeming to say:

“When we return to the bedchamber, this Empress will definitely deal with you!”

“Don’t worry, this time it’s not certain who will deal with whom.”

A confident smile spread across Nie Chen’s mouth.

After all, they still had a Beast King Core here.

By then, Chu Qingyue would be too late to regret it.

Although they didn’t say much, the ambiguous gazes between the two, as if emotions were constantly flowing, were all caught by Great Emperor Jin Ming.

“Hey, can someone explain and tell me the truth!”

Great Emperor Jin Ming refused to believe this fact.

But towards Saintess Fanhua, Saintess Fanhua only wore a subtle smile and said nothing.

Great Emperor Pang Yuan simply looked away, playing dumb.

As for Ao Lan beside Nie Chen…

This little woman, only slightly taller than him, unexpectedly seemed to completely look down on him!

‘No matter what, they are also Great Emperors!’

Great Emperor Jin Ming felt that he had never encountered such humiliation in all his years.

He trembled with anger!

At this moment, Chu Qingyue’s gaze swept around.

Most of the skeleton army had been suppressed, but many cultivators on the Lanchuan Continent side had also died.

This place was indeed the Emperor Mausoleum, filled with danger at every moment.

More importantly…

The Venerable’s corpse being controlled was probably not accidental. If there were other Great Emperors or even Tribulation Realm experts’ corpses controlled within the Emperor Mausoleum…

The situation would be extremely unfavorable.

“This Empress has a proposal. Why don’t all the other cultivators stay here to guard this place and block the remaining skeleton army?”

“As for the depths of the Emperor Mausoleum, this Empress, Saintess Fanhua, Great Emperor Jin Ming, Great Emperor Pang Yuan, and Nie Chen will enter. How about that?”

Chu Qingyue suddenly proposed.

Given the current situation, this seemed to be the best decision.

Even though many cultivators had come, and the vast majority were top experts of their sects…

In the depths of the Emperor Mausoleum, if one wasn’t a Great Emperor, even if they entered, they would be sending themselves to death.

Staying here slowly, they would not be in danger of losing their lives, and could instead block the advance of those skeleton soldiers.

After pondering for a moment, Saintess Fanhua quickly answered with a faint smile:

“I have no objections. I agree with Qingyue’s decision.”

“To have them lead the way, I also have no objections.”

Great Emperor Pang Yuan also quickly cupped his hands and said.

Feeling helpless and insignificant, Great Emperor Jin Ming suddenly felt a glimmer of hope and hurriedly agreed without hesitation:

“This Emperor also agrees, wholeheartedly agrees!”

Hearing this excited voice, Nie Chen couldn’t help but look at Great Emperor Jin Ming, surprised that this short man was unexpectedly so agreeable.

“What are you looking at? As long as it’s the Empress’s decision, this Emperor will definitely agree.”

Great Emperor Jin Ming looked triumphantly at Nie Chen.

He suddenly had a resolute thought. With fewer people, they would have a better chance of figuring out the relationship between Nie Chen and Empress Qingyue.

Even Saintess Fanhua, the Empress’s close confidante, didn’t explicitly mention the relationship between the two. There must be something fishy about the situation that happened before!

After entering the depths of the Emperor Mausoleum, he would definitely catch Nie Chen red-handed!
