Chapter 554: Phoenix Maidens Death (1/2)

Chapter 554: Phoenix Maiden’s Death

Even during her last moments, she was still in love with Di Zuo and acted for his sake. Everything she did was, in fact, for him!

Lan Yunzhu couldn’t help being moved by her. Although she was not sympathetic towards the maiden’s chosen course of actions, the maiden’s courage was still admirable.

“What a wonderful woman. It is a shame, you shouldn’t have chosen to oppose me.” Li Qiye shook his head and slowly said: “End yourself, I will give you a dignified death.” With that, he put down the Phoenix Maiden.

After standing upright again, the maiden looked in the direction of the distant Earth Realm; she was full of reluctance to part. She then took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

“Bang!” Her body quivered dramatically as blood dripped down from the corners of her lips as she slowly fell down.

In the end, a heaven’s proud daughter of an entire generation had to commit suicide. She was a strong woman, but one wrong move had cost her the entire board. Despite her numerous schemes, she couldn’t stop Li Qiye’s unbeatable path.

The ghost experts also sighed after seeing her commit suicide. She deserved what happened today; this wouldn’t have happened if she didn’t continuously oppose Li Qiye.

However, they did admit that she was a wonderful woman and had no fear of death even at the very last second. Or perhaps, she had prepared herself for death a very long time ago.

Once the maiden used the well-being of the ghost race as an excuse to suppress Li Qiye, this ending was destined. She had righteously appealed for Li Qiye's death for the sake of the ghost race; if she had tried to escape, all of her scheming would have been for naught. Her reputation would be damaged along with her husband’s and the Myriad Bones Throne’s.

Death was the only option after losing, thus she was prepared and had no intention of escaping. In this struggle, either Li Qiye had to die or she had to perish.

At the very least, to the eyes of outsiders, she had used her death to protect justice and the ghost race.

After she committed suicide, an unequalled man in the Heavenly Cemetery in the Earth Realm felt a p.r.i.c.k in his heart and immediately knew what had happened. He then screamed out: “No!!”

Along with his rage, the sky darkened as if a storm was approaching.

Meanwhile, Li Qiye looked at the maiden’s corpse and shook his head, saying: “What a shame.” He then s.h.i.+fted his gaze towards the five bronze walls and headed for the Pentagate.

“Rumble!” The five walls were shaking as if they were about to break apart from the continuous explosions and crackles.

There was no doubt that the Pentagate’s seal couldn’t withstand the t.i.tanic Crescent Ancestor attacking with an emperor’s weapon. It was only a matter of time before he broke out.

This was why Li Qiye immediately ran over to use this chance to kill all the experts and the ancestor from the sacred ground. He still had a method to kill them, even if the ancestor was a powerful Virtuous Paragon!

“What is this treasure?” An ancestor from a great power anxiously thought to himself. Although the Pentagate was being torn apart, the crowd was still moved by it.

The sacred ground brought along many experts, including Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Sovereigns. What was even more terrifying was that their ancestor was locked inside with an emperor’s weapon in hand.

An ancestor with an emperor’s weapon had horrifying destructive capabilities, yet he couldn’t break through the walls in a short period of time.

The fortified might of the walls was evident since an invincible weapon that belonged to an emperor couldn’t even destroy it.

Right when Li Qiye wanted to take care of the sealed experts inside the walls, a series of immortal hymns suddenly appeared as an endless stream of lights drowned the sky.

These lights came from the middle of the pond and were akin to a divine sword piercing the firmament. These beams then intertwined together in the sky in a spiral pattern.

“What is going on?” This sudden change startled everyone as they looked deeper into the pond.

Li Qiye also became serious after seeing this towering, immortal light. The light that spiralled into the sky was also accompanied by a whirlpool in the pond that emitted continuous splas.h.i.+ng sounds.

Li Qiye then decided to forgo suppressing the sacred ground’s experts and instead looked at the center of the whirlpool. He turned around and dragged Lan Yunzhu along as he spoke: “We’re going now!” With that, they rushed towards the pond.
