When Madam Mu spoke, her visage was serene and indifferent, making her seem incomparably confident and powerful.

She was a Princess of the Great Western Continent, the Empress of the Demi-humans, and she had been a Saint for many years.

Tianhai had died on the peak of the Mausoleum of Books, Yin had returned to the sea of stars, and the Holy Maiden of the south had followed Su Li to the distant Sacred Light Continent. Of the Five Saints, only she and the White Emperor remained.

She and the White Emperor were unquestionably two of the strongest people in the world.

Even though the White Emperor was in secluded cultivation and she had to fight Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi alone, her loss was not guaranteed.

And this wasn't even considering that this place was along the Red River, with countless demi-human experts residing in White Emperor City. With an order from her, they would come sweeping over like a tide.

”Empress, you have misunderstood.”

Bie Yanghong said, ”We have never held the extravagant hope of killing you. We only wish to take Mu Jiushi away and question her.”

Mu Jiushi's small face paled at these words and she dared not respond.

Madam Mu smiled. ”The two of you want to take away my younger sister and ask her what Young Master Bie's final words were, and then?”

Wuqiong Bi could no longer repress her feelings as she harshly exclaimed, ”If she cannot give an explanation, this old body will naturally tear her limb from limb!”

Madam Mu's smile faded as she gazed at Bie Yanghong. ”Do you think I will agree?”

Bie Yanghong replied, ”You should understand very well that I have the ability to delay you for a while. This period is enough for my wife to finish what she wants to do.”

Madam Mu calmly stared at him for a long time. All of a sudden, she began to laugh.

The mountains and clouds echoed with her joyless laughter, suffused with determination and apathy.

”I think that Sir Bie has also misunderstood.”

Madam Mu's laughter faded as she said, ”I've never thought about protecting Little Shi.”

Bie Yanghong's gaze turned stern. ”Empress's meaning is?”

”Everyone says that I was exiled from the Great Western Continent by Imperial Uncle. For centuries, countless people thought that this was an injustice against me, like Tianhai or Old Yin. However, none of them knew that it was my ardent desire to leave and that all my skills were taught to me by Imperial Uncle. To me, Imperial Uncle was both teacher and father, the one that I respect the most.”

Madam Mu expressionlessly declared, ”You've killed him, so I naturally have to take revenge and kill all of you. I've never thought of doing anything else.”

Bie Yanghong fell quiet.

With his and Wuqiong Bi's strength, although it was very difficult for them to kill, or even detain, Madam Mu, the opposite was true as well.

Unless she had a helper.

But who would help her?

The blue-clothed visitor was dead, the Great Western Continent's scheme exposed.

He and Wuqiong Bi were both Storms of the Human race and had come to exact vengeance for their son. Even Shang Xingzhou would not appear in these circumstances.

Moreover, they had come so quickly that they were confident that White Emperor City simply had not had the time to set any traps.

The sea breeze came in an unending stream from beyond, causing the clouds both in the sky and between the mountains to twist and writhe, but not disperse.

The hole that Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi had torn through the clouds was gradually covered and the sunlight shut out, casting the cliff into gloom.

A tree stood on the edge of the cliff, extremely tiny in comparison to the massive tree in which the little Black Dragon was imprisoned.

The tree had a shadow.

In such a dim light, this tree should have a very faint shadow, yet it was only getting darker.

The little red flower floating by his pinkie sensed something. It howled through the air, aiming at that tree in vigilance.

Bie Yanghong looked at Madam Mu and said, ”Empress's ambition and boldness are truly terrifying.”

”Imperial Uncle insisted on assassinating Chen Changsheng to stir internal discord in the Zhou Dynasty, but I knew that this was no easy task and was highly likely to fail.”
