Chapter 462 - I Didn’t Want To Kill Them … ? (1/2)

By now, Ying Nu, Husan Weng, and the other divine herbs were nearly done clearing the other Qi Practitioners. These Qi Practitioners had already been injured by Zhong Yue, and while the six divine herbs were not weak either, Ying Nu and the others were able to handle the situation.

But even so, Ying Nu, Husan Weng, and the divine herbs still suffered different levels of injuries. After all, this was unavoidable as Ying Nu was still an Inner Core Qi Practitioner while Husan Weng, Nightshade, and the divine herbs never learned any skills and cultivation arts.

Zhong Yue then looked at Chi Xue and Feng Qianyi, the two ladies were still engaged in a battle. Their strengths were on par with one another, and although Feng Qianyi was a True Spirit magnate, Chi Xue, as the first to open the Bloodline Wheel in tens of thousands of years, was the most talented expert of the Western Mother Empire.

Furthermore, Chi Xue's divine weapon was also stronger than Feng Qianyi's.

Zhong Yue watched as they battled and thought, I wonder how many extreme states Chi Xue has cultivated?

Chi Xue was really strong, Feng Qianyi could be said as a young god herself, and yet, she couldn't even suppress Chi Xue in the battle. This clearly told Zhong Yue that Chi Xue had achieved many extreme states, perhaps, all of them?

Cultivating any extreme state was already a huge achievement for the normal Qi Practitioners, while having three extreme states was already a sign of the cultivator's potential to become a god.

Kua Fuding cultivated five, and he was definitely an overlord-like existence among the young gods. If one could achieve the extreme state in every cultivation level, then they would be like a monarch among the young gods!

While Chi Xue was most probably such an existence.

She might still even be hiding a hand in the dark. From the battle she was having with Feng Qianyi now, Zhong Yue could tell that she was even stronger than Kua Fuding, undoubtedly a dangerous opponent to face with!

For the Western Mother Celestial Race can have such a strong heiress, the Western Mother Empress should be super happy, shouldn't she? Why wasn't Chi Xue given an Amnesty Decree?

He was puzzled the current Western Mother Empress' decision.

However, even though Chi Xue was really strong, Zhong Yue wasn't pressured at all. He now cultivated five extreme states with the sixth extreme state, Nine Revolving Inner Core, nearing completion.

Furthermore, for him to drop back down to the Inner Core level and refine the Nine Revolving Inner Core again, he'd been breaking through the level of Heavenly Dharma one time after another. As of now, he already completed six revolutions, meaning he now had experiences breaking through to Heavenly Dharma seven times. With that, one could really tell how strong was his attainments in the Heavenly Dharma level.

When the Nine Revolving Inner Core was completed, Zhong Yue was sure that he would be able to achieve the extreme state of Heavenly Dharma level as well!

By then, he would have seven extreme states, his prowess would be times stronger than now!

Zhong Yue closely watched the battle. Soon enough, he spotted an opening in her stance and seized the chance to join Chi Xue in fighting her.

The phoenix lady didn't have the upper hand in the first place, but now, with another expert joining the fray, her defeat became an inevitability.

The phoenix lady tried to escape but in such a place, not even the phoenix race could fly. Thus, there was simply no way to run.

It wasn't long before Feng Qianyi was forced to return to the ground. Chi Xue sneered and said, "Feng Qianyi, I'll sacrifice you for the Peaches of Immortality, do you agree?"

Feng Qianyi raised her head, she sneered back and said, "The winner decide the fate of the loser, what is there to agree or not agree?"

Chi Xue smiled at her and said, "If you swear to serve me now, I can still spare your life."

However, Feng Qianyi shook her head and said, "My only destiny is to protect the two princesses, but now, they are both dead. I'll still be sentenced to death if I go back. Even if you can save me, the empress will only grow more uncomfortable with you. You have wild ambition, and if one day you don't succeed the throne, you will rise up against. And if you fail, I will die as well. Every path leads to my death. Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well die now with my dignity."

Chi Xue was angered at Feng Qianyi's characterization of her, "Who said that I have wild ambition, that I will rebel in the future? Since when did you see me rising against my mother empress? Since when did I disobey her command? It was you and my sisters who were forcing me to the edge every single time, scheming on me and trying to kill me, if I'm ever rebelling, it's you all who forced me to!"

Feng Qianyi shook her face while saying, "Princess Xue, words are useless. If you want me dead, then do what you must."

Chi Xue raised her hand and sealed the phoenix lady, she turned and thanked Zhong Yue for the help.

Zhong Yue then asked, "Princess Xue, why do they keep saying that you have ambition that even the Western Mother Empress is uncomfortable with?"

Chi Xue shook her head and answered, "I don't know, they've been scheming at me long before we entered the Returning Ruins. They have always killed my followers and orchestrated my death. diThis time, the Western Mother Empress has given all the sisters the divine decree but not me… I was even accused of future treason. How does any of this make sense?! If it weren't for you, I'd already be dead!"

Zhong Yue was still puzzled, any other reasonable man would know that Princess Chi Xue was definitely the best candidate for the throne, she would have to always be protected until the day she become the next empress. Yet, these Western Mother ladies and even the empress herself were unsatisfied with her existence. Zhong Yue couldn't help but be curious about this.

"But no matter why the empress doesn't like me, I will find the Peaches of Immortality for her, I will show her who her most loyal descendant is!" Chi Xue said solemnly.

Ying Nu cleaned the battlefield and plundered the Qi Practitioners' Yuan Shen secret realms while also collecting the treasures on the ground.

Although it was a pity that Chi Yue'er's corpse along with the Golden Lining Silver Moon were taken by Kua Fuding, the other Qi Practitioners and Chi Yun'er still had a considerable amount of wealth. Some were their own and some were plundered by the Qi Practitioners they had killed. Among the treasures, there were also two demon divine weapons.

"What a shame that these treasures will not be able to see the light of the world anymore." Chi Xue glanced at the treasures, and her eyes became filled with sympathy, she said, "These divine weapons were given to them by their elders. If we bring them out to the world, the masters will be able to sense it, and kill us from far. Although we can still use them if we remove the markings of the masters in them, our powers were still too weak to do so!"

Zhong Yue nodded in agreement.

"If Princess Xue doesn't want them, then I will take them." Zhong Yue suddenly smiled and said.

Chi Xue was puzzled, and she quickly said, "These divine weapons are strong, but they are dangerous as well, you mustn't take them lightly! As long as you leave the Returning Ruins, carrying these divine weapons will only be sent to you to your death!"
