51 Secrets of the Divine Calamity (2/2)
They had suddenly recalled that when Lele and Lie Qing had dueled, they too had lost all their internal strength. But to the astonishment of everyone, they quickly fell out again and their seeming 'lost' internal strength had been recovered!
There must be a strong reason for the Celestial Force to be one of the strongest inner martial art skills…
It was not that Ding Yun, Youxue and Lingfeng did not want to stop him now. It was because they were unsure if they were able to!
The Celestial Liege took agonizing steps as he reached the entrance. Then he turned back and lifted his thumb at Yi Ping, ”Your name is Yi Ping? I have never met anyone like you. It is unlikely that you can survive this battle. When I have recovered, I will come back to retrieve the Heaven Relic and your two heavenly swords.”
Ji Wuzheng smirked coldly, ”Wait till and see if you can really recover first!”
All of a sudden, Lingfeng said coldly. ”Give me the antidote!”
Ding Yun, Youxue, Lingfeng had all stepped in front.
Yu'Er and Mei'Er were too feeble to step forward or else they would surely join them!
Yu'Er was asking Mei'Er, ”Are you alright, sister?”
Mei'Er nodded quietly. They had really exhausted too much of their martial power and had been injured by the martial energy force earlier as they tried to protect everyone…
Youxue said, ”If you don't hand over the antidote, you are not going anywhere!”
Ding Yun had readied two precious swords that she had borrowed from Mei'Er and Yu'Er in her hands!
The Celestial Liege said unhurriedly, ”There is no antidote for the Celestial Force. However, there is still a cure. As long as a hundred chaste maidens are willing to give him their chastity, the positive energy force of the Celestial Force can still be purged. But what's the point? His internal injuries were too severe. He sooner dies first from his internal injuries before he could purge the Celestial Force out.”
All of a sudden, he threw a pebble and knocked Youxue down with a startling speed! It was so fast that it completely caught everyone by surprise!
Youxue had seen the little moments in his fingers and had already taken precautions but she was unable to completely evade it!
Youxue coughed weakly as she struggled to stand. That projectile had so much force that it had struck her painfully on her shoulder despite the protection of her Golden Invincible Body! If it was not for her Golden Invincible Body, that pebble would have gone through her shoulder, crippling her!
She turned ashen at that thought!
The Celestial Liege said coldly, ”I know that you are protected by the Golden Invincible Body. This is just a small payback for slapping me earlier.”
Youxue admonished him icily, ”What a grudging man!”
Ji Wuzheng was stunned at the martial display of the Celestial Liege as he took a step back, ”He didn't lose his internal strength completely? That's impossible…”
The Celestial Liege said coldly, ”If you are having regrets now for not killing me, then it is already too late. It is because with what little internal strength that I have now, I am still capable of protecting myself. Consider this your lucky day today.”
Just as Youxue was about to display her startling swiftness attack on the Celestial Liege, Yi Ping had caught hold of her shoulder. ”Youxue, life and death is predestined. Let him go.”
Yi Ping had stood up on his own!
Yu'Er and Mei'Er immediately flew to support him despite their physical condition as they cried out, ”Master…!”
The Celestial Liege was startled as he thought, ”He had normalized his intricate breathing so fast?! That's impossible…”
”He is not going anywhere first.” A beautiful enchanting voice interrupted his thoughts.
Everyone was startled; it was because this enchanting voice was so familiar!
An enchanting and mesmerizing young maiden was stroking her long braided hair as she stood at the entrance. Her white pink delicate long dress, her black sword, the Perpetual Darkness and her breathtaking astonishing beauty was a familiar sight…it was Lie Qing!
Yi Ping was stunned but overjoyed to see her again as he muttered, ”Qing'Er…”
Mei'Er exclaimed happily, ”Sister…Lie Qing!”
Ding Yun shed a tear, ”Sister Qing'Er…”
Youxue smiled and nodded at her as she saw Lie Qing…
Yu'Er, Lingfeng, Nangong Le, Gongsun Jing and Qiu Wufeng were all smiling broadly when Lie Qing had appeared…
Huo Fu and Ji Wuzheng were startled to see their expressions. It was as though their fighting spirits had suddenly been aroused! Who was this Maiden Lie Qing?
As Lie Qing raised her Perpetual Darkness, there was a sharp ringing echo in mid-air as a halo surrounded her sword. Her sword was exceptional sharp and broke through the air easily!
The dark halo of her sword faded Lie Qing into the shadowy background, merging her with her sword. This darkness merging was actually a profound martial attainment, causing the opponents unable to distinct her actual mode of attacks!
Immediately, the Divine Echo and the White Phoenix began to resonate even more resounding!
When the Celestial Liege saw her, he immediately took several stumbled steps backward!
It was not because he was startled to see three Heavenly Relic swords at the same time!
It was because he had recognized Lie Qing!
The Celestial Liege was trembling and muttering. ”That's impossible…Qing'Er, is that really you?!”
Lie Qing sighed softly, ”Long time no see…don't you call me Qing'Er. I am not close to you at all. I'm your darkness now… not ever since that night when you have massacred the entire Lie Clan and the entire Invincible Divine Clan. I have said I don't ever want to see you again.”
The Celestial Liege was trembling as he saw her crimson eyes and glossy long hair, ”Qing'Er, you have become a true Celestial…?”
Everyone was stunned. Lie Qing and the Celestial Liege were acquaintances?!
Lie Qing nodded lightly.
The Celestial Liege hummed coldly, ”I know that you have come to take vendetta on me. But if I am not injured, do you think you ever have the chance to kill me?”
Lie Qing said icily, ”What makes you think that even if you are not injured, I am unable to kill you?”
The Celestial Liege said, ”Your father, the Lord of the Invincible was the top exponent in the fraternity with his seventh invincible force. At that time, we can barely kill him. But now, many years have gone by. My attainment is now on par with his seventh invincible force. In short, I am currently the most powerful exponent in the entire fraternity.”
Lie Qing said, ”There is no such thing as true invincible and the most powerful or else my father won't be slayed by your clan. Or else…”
She looked at Yi Ping with a loving glance, ”Or else…you won't be defeated by Yi Ping!”
The Celestial Liege hummed coldly, ”That's because I am careless! If you want to come take my life, do it immediately. But it won't be honorable.”
All of a sudden, there were nine burst of faint blue wisp of hovering glow around Lie Qing!
Yu'Er was startled as she began to count excitingly, ”One, two, three, four…seven, eight and nine!”
The Celestial Liege was stunned, ”That's impossible! The ninth invincible force… you are able to reach the Holiness Level…?”
Lie Qing said coolly, ”Even if you are uninjured, you may not be able to defeat me.”
The Celestial Liege was silent for a while before he said, ”So this is the difference between a Half-Celestial and a true Celestial..,”
Lie Qing softened her glances as she said gently, ”You are as insolent as ever. Don't think that I do not know that your internal strength is only left with just one tenth and it is impossible for you to recover your original martial strength. You have used the Celestial Origin to forcibly retain what's left of your internal strength. I only pity you!”
The Celestial Liege sighed regretfully, ”To think that my centuries of cultivation and martial progression will be ruined today… Very well, come take my life then. You are only able to advance further than me because you are a true Celestial.”
Lie Qing said, ”Who says I am going to take your life?”
The Celestial Liege was startled, ”What do you mean? You want to torture me to a slow death?”
Lie Qing said forlornly, ”Who says I am going to avenge for anyone? It has already been so long. Lele asks me to leave a message for you and her beloved.”
The Celestial Liege was startled, ”My sister has a message for me? She is still alive? Who is her beloved?”
Lie Qing said, ”The person that just defeated you earlier is her beloved!”
The Celestial Liege was even more startled as he muttered, ”My sister has pledged herself to him?”
Lie Qing continued coldly, ”And who says she is dead? She is even more alive than ever. In fact, she is a true Celestial now just like her grandpa.”
The Celestial Liege was startled, ”She is…a true Celestial now? That's impossible! Her martial levels are way below par. She can't even survive the Divine Calamity alone…don't tell me she has a Heavenly Relic?!”
Lie Qing said coolly, ”Martial levels and the Heavenly Relic have nothing to do with her awakening to a true Celestial. She wants me to tell you, even if you got the Heavenly Relic, it is totally useless to you because you have already entered the Dark Asura. Without the state of divinity of the Jade Emperor to calm the malevolent spirits, you will only be courting doom if you try to attempt the Divine Calamity alone. No matter how you try, destruction and death only awaits you”
The Celestial Liege was startled, ”I…I don't believe…I don't believe…all my beliefs…”
Lie Qing said melancholy, ”The Divine Calamity is a Divine Cleansing of the impure. Long ago, humanity is able to live to a thousand years and has since fallen from grace from the heavens. If you really want to become a Celestial, you must first know how to cultivate as a human sage. That is the only way to become a Celestial. Providence is already so kind to you yet you do not even realize it!”
The Celestial Liege was stunned as he muttered, ”If I want to become a Celestial, I must first cultivate as a human sage first…it is that simple?”
The Celestial Liege laughed madly, ”Thank you…Qing'Er and Lele…”
He turned around and looked at Yi Ping, who was standing quietly and in great tranquil. He raised his thumb again, ”Only you are fit for Qing'Er. I am not worthy. The positive martial energy of the Celestial Force can be purged by a chaste maiden who knows the Holy Pureness, which intricate energy is pure negative. There's no need for me to be too explicit. If you are still alive, then we may one day meet again.”
As soon as the Celestial Liege had gone, Lie Qing immediately flew to the embrace of Yi Ping as she wept. ”Yi Ping! Are you alright? Where are you hurting at? Let me help you…you have lost all your internal strength…poor thing…”
Yi Ping smiled weakly as his heart began to ache painfully, ”Qing'Er, I am so glad to see you…don't worry, I am still live. Losing my internal strength is a small matter as long as…”
Yi Ping looked at everyone, who was smiling at him despite their injuries as he said. ”…As long as everyone is safe…”
Lie Qing sobbed silently, ”Yi Ping…I hope you don't mind that I let him go…I know I did wrong again…”
Yi Ping comforted her, ”No, you did right. You are not wrong…it is a good thing…really.”
Lie Qing was almost inaudible as she sobbed, ”Really? Sorry…I am late…and cause you to be in such a state…”
Even though Lie Qing was in an enviable embrace with Yi Ping, there was not a single hint of jealousy in these young maidens' eyes. No one dared to disturb their quiet moment because it was also the most romantic moment between the two of them. And moreover, they were only too glad to see Lie Qing who had braved through many dangers with them…
He asked weakly, ”Lie Qing, why are you here? Aren't you preparing for the Divine Calamity with Yixian and Lele?”
Lie Qing said, ”One day, Lele has suddenly divine that you are in a great mortal danger and because we are all worried for you too, they have decided that I should come to aid you instead.”
Yi Ping nodded gently as he stroked her head gently, ”How is Yixian?”
Lie Qing looked up gently, ”She is attempting a dangerous intricacy heart formula before I have left. But I am sure she will be alright. From the golden scroll, we have discovered many things about the Divine Calamity. While I am away, Lele will be her guardian…”
She was now trembling because she knew how deadly the Divine Calamity was.

Yi Ping held her even tightly because he could sense her fear…
All of a sudden, they were interrupted by three young beautiful maidens that just walked into the Inner Holy Chapter. They all had an appalling looks as they saw the messy state of the Inner Holy Chapter.
These three young maidens were Suxin, Sufeng and Suyue. They were the daughters of Ji Wuzheng.
Suxin immediately said, ”Father, you are injured? What's going on? Why is the entire place like that? When we saw the Celestial Envoy a moment ago, he asks us to go the Inner Holy Chapter immediately.”
Sufeng was gasping, ”Assassins?!”
Ji Wuzheng said, ”No big deal. There is no need to be panic.”
Suyue flew to Lingfeng, ”Aunt! How have you been? I miss you. Who are these people?”
Lingfeng said softly, ”These are my friends. There are no assassins. We just have a friendly duel earlier.”
Suyue immediately pointed at Yi Ping and looked curiosity at everyone, ”A friendly duel?! In this state of awful condition! It looks more like a fight…there are blood everywhere…”
She quickly sighed as she saw Lie Qing in Yi Ping's embrace, ”What's a pity. It seems that this handsome young man has already got a beloved.”
All of a sudden, she noticed hostile glances from Yu'Er, Mei'Er, Lie Qing, Ding Yun, Youxue and even from her aunt, Lingfeng that caused her to keep quiet.
Suxin was gasping at the Divine Halo and the White Phoenix. ”These swords can echo and give out lights…is so beautiful…”
Gongsun Jing was instantly mesmerized by her looks and voice…
Nangong Le immediately stepped forward, ”Lingfeng, I didn't know that you have three such beautiful young nieces that is around your age? Do you mind introducing them to us?”
Lingfeng was born twenty years apart from her brother Ji Wuzheng and her nieces were around her same age.
Lingfeng immediately said, ”Suyue, don't talk to this man. He is not a good person!”
Nangong Le smiled bitterly as he thought, ”So her name is Suyue…”
When Qiu Wufeng caught sight of Sufeng, for some unknown reason, he was totally captivated by her. As he stepped forward to introduce himself, he stumbled much to his own embarrassment…
Immediately, Sufeng caught hold of him as she asked gently. ”Young Master, your injuries are not light. You're alright?”
Qiu Wufeng was surprised that it was Sufeng that had caught hold of him that he was muttering incoherently, ”I…I stepped on some debris…nothing…I'm alright…”
Sufeng smiled, ”What's your name? I'm Sufeng.”
Qiu Wufeng immediately said, ”I am Qiu Wufeng.” He sounded embarrassed to say his name because he was now a wanted fugitive and got nothing to his name now.
Sufeng gasped, ”So you are a mass murderer and one of the monsters from the Righteous Axioms Clan!!!”
Qiu Wufeng immediately denied it with startled horror, ”No, no. These are just rumors spread by my enemies…Sufeng…hear me out…”
Suxin immediately pointed at Gongsun Jing, Nangong Le and Yi Ping with an appalled look, ”Then these three must be the notorious Gongsun Jing the Dishonorable Playboy, Nangong Le the Flirtatious and Yi Ping the Horrible Torturer!”
She took a spiteful look at Gongsun Jing, ”Fancy a fine young man like you would actually be a beast in disguise. If I do not slay you and distribute your flesh as offerings to the innocents today, then my name isn't Suxin!”
Gongsun Jing could only smiled most bitterly as he began to curse that Chi Zhengqi…
He was not the only one thinking of the same thing too. Nangong Le and Qiu Wufeng were already thinking the same!
Huo Fu immediately said as he pointed at Yi Ping, ”Young mistresses, I can verify that it is all true. They are indeed the notorious four! I have met this rascal Yi Ping before and he was behaving amorally with a young maiden in a cave.”
Ji Wuzheng immediately reacted with shock, ”Lingfeng, you didn't tell me that your friends are from the notorious Righteous Axioms Clan! No wonder I find the name of Yi Ping so familiar! Do you know that the four of them are currently the most evil and wanted men in the entire fraternity?!”
Lingfeng got a spinning headache as she said, ”These are just false rumors. Listen to my explanations first…” She really wanted to faint. How did these venomous rumors spread so fast?!
Suyue immediately said, ”Aunt, you just told me that Nangong Le is not a good person! No need to explain, we just feed them to the dogs!”
As Lingfeng moved dazedly backward, she accidentally came into contact with the Divine Echo and the White Phoenix. Immediately the resonating stopped and the halo from the swords ceased.
Just as Lingfeng had calm down and was about to explain, she was interrupted by Yi Ping who said weakly. ”Lingfeng, my swords don't seem to like you. They have stopped glowing.”
Lingfeng took a fainting look at Yi Ping before saying, ”Why don't you go and die first?”
