Chapter 57: The Empress’s Before and After Contrast Was Too Great

The Bell was still ringing softly, but the body on the ground was already severely damaged.

This brief battle, which lasted only for an instant, had attracted attention from all over the world.

When Chu Qingyue turned around slightly, her icy gaze swept across the surroundings.

In an instant, countless spiritual senses quickly retreated.

Everyone was afraid that Empress Qingyue, who was in a bad mood, might suddenly appear and destroy their own sect.

Although they didn’t dare to look again, all the forces present took a deep breath.

“I didn’t expect Empress Qingyue to have improved her strength so much after not taking action for so long,” someone said.

“Although that old man, Hong Hui, was severely injured by Empress Qingyue two hundred years ago, this kind of easy killing is still crazy,” another person said.

What they feared the most was the Bell, which carried an overwhelming aura.

When Empress Qingyue first established the Twelve Star Palaces, the Bell had killed countless strong cultivators who had already become emperors.

The current Bell seemed even stronger.

“But why did Empress Qingyue suddenly get angry after Hong Hui hid for two hundred years?” someone asked.

“Did he do something extremely evil to thoroughly provoke Empress Qingyue?” another person wondered.

“It’s possible, or else Empress Qingyue wouldn’t have been so angry,” someone else said.

Chu Qingyue slowly descended into the huge pit.

At this moment, Hong Hui’s body was almost unrecognizable, but the red sword with a phoenix pattern beside him was still intact, although covered in thick dust.

Chu Qingyue picked it up and flew towards the Heavenly Cloud Palace with the sword.

The many forces that were secretly observing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that Empress Qingyue’s anger was only directed at one person and did not affect them.

However, after this incident, the various forces were reminded of the fear they once had when Empress Qingyue dominated the world, and they warned their disciples again.

In this world, the one person you couldn’t provoke was Empress Qingyue.

If you accidentally offended her, no one could save you.

For a moment, the shadow of Empress Qingyue’s power loomed over the younger generation of disciples, leaving an indelible warning in their hearts.

No one, especially men, should ever dare to approach or provoke Empress Qingyue.

Otherwise, the consequences would be dire!

Chu Qingyue slowly landed in the Heavenly Cloud Palace, her aura still radiating.

Nie Chen looked at her with an awkward expression and coughed lightly.

Who would have thought that his wife, who was kissing him just a moment ago, would suddenly fly thousands of miles away and kill someone?

The contrast between her before and after was too great.

“Take this,” Chu Qingyue said, handing Nie Chen the red sword.

“What is this?” Nie Chen asked.

“This is a sword that has been passed down through the Source, called ‘Nie Feng.’ It’s a remnant of a heavenly-grade sword,” Chu Qingyue explained.

“A remnant of a heavenly-grade sword?” Nie Chen repeated, slightly puzzled.

“Although the quality of a heavenly-grade remnant is already very high, it seems a bit low for him,” Nie Chen said.

Chu Qingyue was silent for a moment before responding, “It was originally a top-grade heavenly sword.”

Nie Chen was surprised. “How did it become a remnant?”

Chu Qingyue hesitated before answering, “I… I damaged it.”

Nie Chen was speechless.

It seemed that his wife was really scary when she was angry.

Although she was cute when she was kissing him, he still had to be careful not to provoke her.

Noticing Nie Chen’s expression, Chu Qingyue snorted. “Are you afraid of me?”

“Of course not,” Nie Chen said with a smile. “Who would be afraid of their own wife?”

Chu Qingyue pouted, “I knew you are just talking nonsense.”

“Who says I’m just talking nonsense?” Nie Chen said, taking a step closer to Chu Qingyue.

Chu Qingyue suddenly realized something was wrong and took a step back.

But Nie Chen continued to approach her, his lips getting closer and closer.

Chu Qingyue’s body began to soften, her eyes dodging, and her voice became barely audible.

“Again? I still have a lot of things to deal with, and many people are watching…”

Nie Chen smiled. “The more people, the more exciting it is!”

Just as the two were about to kiss, Shen Congshuang burst in, kneeling on the ground.

“Empress, I’m sorry I’m late!”

But when she looked up, she saw the scene before her and was puzzled.

‘Strange, why does Empress always like to do this with Nie Chen?’

Shen Congshuang suddenly felt enlightened.

‘I understand now! It’s for the convenient transportation of spiritual energy, which helps with cultivation!’

Shen Congshuang was moved by Empress Qingyue’s actions.

“Empress, you’re so considerate of Nie Chen’s cultivation. I’ll take care of the rest!”

Shen Congshuang was about to kiss Nie Chen, but a hand blocked her way.

It was Empress Qingyue’s hand.

Shen Congshuang was confused. “Empress, don’t thank me. You’ve worked hard. I’ll take care of the rest!”

But when she saw Empress Qingyue’s smile, she felt a chill run down her spine.

“Empress, no! Ah, oh no!”

Shen Congshuang struggled, but it was too late.

“Sinful,” Nie Chen said, shaking his head and walking out of the palace with the sword.
