Chapter 936 – The Wind Blows the Shadow of the Tree into the Shape of a Black Robe (2/2)
Madam Mu calmly concluded, ”This being the case, I naturally made a few backup plans.”
Bie Yanghong sighed.
He had prepared for countless tricks beforehand, utilizing the will of the heavens for a long time to make many predictions, but to his surprise, he was still unable to surpass Madam Mu.
He said to Wuqiong Bi, ”In a little while, if I can open up a path, you will leave. I will follow afterward.”
Wuqiong Bi's heart went cold at these words. Just what had happened?
No matter how strong Madam Mu was, their working together should still have been enough to fight one battle. Why did he need to be so pessimistic, speaking of defeat before they had even begun to fight?
If this really was the case, why had they traveled over such a vast distance to come to White Emperor City?
Wuqiong Bi had a crude and ruthless temperament, but she was still an expert of the Divine Domain. Just a little thought was enough for her to understand what was going on. Her gaze fell on the tree at the edge of the cliff as well.
The shadow cast by the tree was getting darker and darker, gradually becoming like the color of ink, or perhaps a black curtain.
The breeze from the Western Sea rustled the leaves of the tree, shifting the shadow on the ground like it was blowing against a sleeve.
It was an actual sleeve.
The robe was black.
It was shaking in the wind.
A person appeared beneath the tree, their figure completely cloaked in a black robe.
Wuqiong Bi paled.
Bie Yanghong turned extremely grave, with an expression of unprecedented solemnity on his face.
He knew that this was the most dangerous moment the two had ever encountered in their lives.
They were about to face their most frightening opponent since the Tianhai Divine Empress.
The mountains were utterly silent, with not even the sound of wind.
The black robe shifting in the wind gave an abnormally sinister feeling.
Upon seeing this legendary Demon Military Advisor, Mu Jiushi felt a terrible fear and hid far away.
Bie Yanghong looked at Madam Mu and said, ”You dared to collude with the demons? Does the White Emperor know? Do the demi-human elders?”
Madam Mu calmly answered, ”You are the first to see it.”
Bie Yanghong asked, ”Did you ever think that if someone finds out about this, you will no longer be Empress?”
Madam Mu replied, ”There's no need for you to worry about White Emperor City's affairs.”
Bie Yanghong said, ”Are you saying that you are confident that no bystanders will learn of this?”
It would be very difficult for him and Wuqiong Bi to kill or even defeat Madam Mu, but in the same way, it was also very difficult for Madam Mu to kill this couple.
Even though Madam Mu was a Saint, even though she had invited the most mysterious and terrifying Demon Military Advisor to assist her today.
To kill an expert of the Divine Domain was no easy feat.
On the plateau of South Stream Temple, the blue-clothed visitor had only died because the situation had changed too abruptly, with him changing from the trapper to the trapped, resulting in him being grievously unprepared.
But even in these circumstances, Bie Yanghong and Wang Po had paid a heavy price to kill him.
Madam Mu was truly powerful and Black Robe was also terrifying, but Bie Yanghong had been enlightened by his experiences in the coup of the Mausoleum of Books, causing him to advance in strength.
He was confident that he could resist them for a few moments.
He only needed a few moments or the smallest crack to send a warning to the outside.
The demi-humans might be working with the demons. This news was certain to stun the entire world.
No matter how tense was the standoff between the Great Zhou Imperial Court and the Orthodoxy, how fierce the conflict, they would have a single stance on this subject: determined suppression.
All experts would hurry over, whether it was the heads of the noble clans, the Sect Master of the Mount Li Sword Sect, or Wang Po.
Even the venerable Daoist master Shang Xingzhou might personally take action.
