Chapter 1369: One Year Later

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

After the Heaven and Earth Altar was opened, the evil death Qi, blood Qi and death Qi that permeated Kunlun’s Field started to wither away.

To most of the creatures, they only saw some strange scenes, so they had no idea of what happened.

Only those who were standing at the top of the chain sensed the dangers.

The Crazy Alcoholic and Gu Songzi were relieved as they saw the blood Qi withering away.

When the blood Qi permeated the heaven and earth, even they felt that their saint souls were trembling, as that force was horrifying.

Gu Songzi took a look at Kong Lanyou who was standing at the top of the mountain. He jumped up, bowed toward Kong Lanyou and said, “Saint Elder, your cultivation is far superior to ours. Can you tell us what just happened?”

Kong Lanyou put her hands behind her back, and her white hair waved in the air. She stared at the sky and said, “A turbulence is coming, and no living beings in Kunlun’s Field can get out of it.”

Gu Songzi was confused, “Empress Chi Yao has already become a G.o.d. n.o.body can rival her anymore. Ancestral Dragon Mountain, Nine Li Palace, or those beast emperors in Square Ocean Region? I don’t think they dare cause any chaos.”

Kong Lanyou shook her head. Suddenly, she raised her eyebrows a bit as she sensed someone.

“Take care of Zhang Ruochen. I’ll come back soon.”

Kong Lanyou moved her body and vanished from the mountain top.

At the next moment, Kong Lanyou was eight thousand miles away, landing on the sh.o.r.e of an ancient river. She stared in front of her, only to see Empress Chi Yao standing beside the water with her hands behind her back.

There were four beasts around Empress Chi Yao, and they looked like four pets. They lay on the ground. One of them looked like a dragon, one of them was a white cat with nine tails, one of them was a fish with wings, and one of them was a crocodile as large as a palm.

Kong Lanyou shot a glance at those four small beasts, and she was shocked.

Those weren’t just any four pets. Instead, they were the masters of the Savage Barren Secret Region and Square Ocean Region. She didn’t expect them to fall this low.

Kong Lanyou looked to Chi Yao again. She looked very cold and said, “Why did you hurt him again, Chi Yao? Why did you show up after hurting him?”

Empress Chi Yao was very nonchalant. She said with her back facing Kong Lanyou, “Are you really talking about hurting with me? Do you really know what it means to be hurt? I’ll ask you one question: would you feel more hurt by killing him or letting him kill you?”

Kong Lanyou was dazed as she didn’t know how to answer the question as she’d rather die than to hurt Zhang Ruochen.

Chi Yao looked very conflicted. She said, “My eight hundred years, eight hundred years. Each day felt like a year for me. As for him, eight hundred years is just like the blink of an eye. Do you really think you’re qualified to talk about being hurt?”

Kong Lanyou said, “But what’re you afraid of? Why didn’t you just meet him?”

Chi Yao closed her eyes and didn’t respond.

Kong Lanyou said, “What are you doing? What were you conspiring in the past? My cousin is way smarter than I am. He’ll be able to figure it out very soon. Should he kill you after he figures it out? Why did you torture him like that?”

“Death is going to be a release and a mercy to me. I’ve been waiting for that day to come. Being alive is cruelty and torture. If that day comes, I’ll definitely give him a perfect reason to kill me, but he has to have the power to kill me first, otherwise, he’ll be useless.”

Chi Yao said, “I let you live because you were also useless and not worth my energies, but now, you’ve already become a supreme saint. You can claim to be an emperor, so you’re becoming a larger threat to my First Central Empire. I can’t let you roam free.”

“Are you going to kill me?” Kong Lanyou asked.

The four little beasts on the ground all raised their heads and looked at Kong Lanyou with sympathy.

Chi Yao said, “You only have two choices. One, follow me and fight for a future that we’re not sure of. Two, I’ll kill you right now because you’re going to die anyway. At least this way you can die with dignity.”

Kong Lanyou didn’t know what Chi Yao was implying here, but she could still figure out something.

In the end, Kong Lanyou chose to leave with Chi Yao. She didn’t even go back to check on Zhang Ruochen as she didn’t want to see his vulnerability and loneliness, which would haunt her forever.

One year later.

Kunlun’s Field returned to being peaceful and prosperous.

The immortal vampires were crushed by the imperial government. Those who survived wouldn’t be able to do anything anymore.

The Death Zen Sect in the north retreated to the outer region, and Death Zen Elder gave an order that their followers would never enter Kunlun’s Field if the Empress was still reigning.

Fengdu Ghost City was conquered, and more than ninety percent of the ghosts were annihilated.
