Chapter 5: I Will Always Support Lady Bai Lian!
Jiang Jing has never felt as powerful as he does now.
He really did it!
In his previous life, he was only a Demigod, but now he can brazenly mock an Immortal Emperor.
Fucking great!
If he tells them, his close friends will probably think he’s bragging.
“Stop daydreaming; the Witch Queen can hear you, so be careful or she’ll stomp you to death.”
Ah.
You have to say that this is where the marvel of life lies.
Jiang Jing’s eyes fell on Bai Lian, as still and steady as a great tree standing in the wind and snow.
“The Witch Queen!”
Jiang Jing spoke in a loud voice.
He had a smile on his face, that smile was steady and dignified, as if it held everything together.
Bai Lian looked up again.
Although she didn’t understand why she had become the “Witch Queen,” one thing she was very clear about.
Over here, there was only her, but over there were one, two, three… a total of thirteen people!
Even the weakest one was at the middle-stage of the Transcendency Stage.
How to fight?
She can’t fight.
Don’t you know that I don’t have that ability?!
Bai Lian was speechless.
She suspects that the system is cheating!
The reward for the task of charging directly into the palace is 14 points of Focus, which means that if she puts her life on the line with all her strength, she will have more than a 50% chance of coming back alive.
Are you kidding?
It seems impossible now.
Bai Lian estimated that she should be able to kill half of these people after using the lower-quality Immortal Spirit Stone.
But she had no ability to solve the other half of the people.
When the time comes, she will have all her muscles ripped, her organs shattered, her spirit Qi drained, and even lifting her fingers will be impossible.
After that, the remaining evil enemies would surround her.
Then…
It’s too scary!
凸(艹皿艹)
[I want to leave!]
If the system had a physical body, Bai Lian would now have to squeeze her neck and torment her.
If the system really gave Bai Lian the chance to turn back time, she would definitely choose to wait and see.
In short, Bai Lian was now in a panic.
Her brain was shuddering!
Thanks to her increasingly skilled control of the facial muscles and her Innocent Heart, there was no sign of abnormality on her face.
Under the backdrop of the twinkling ★, her expression seemed to be as disdainful as it could be.
This is it?
Even ants who can’t be reached with my toes dare to speak boldly in front of me!
It’s ridiculous.
Jiang Jing was instantly stimulated.
The times are changing, Witch Queen!
You are no longer the same person you were before, and I am no longer the same person I used to be.
He shouted loudly.
“For thirty years the river runs east, for thirty years the river runs west, don’t despise the poor girl… boy!”
“…”
Because the terrain near the altar was like a valley, Jiang Jing’s words were replayed several times, echoing in response.
Jiang Jing’s face became as black as the bottom of a pot.
No, no, no.
Bai Lian felt wronged.
Can you blame me for your own misspoken words?
The people standing behind Jiang Jing had a more intense reaction.
What happened to Jiang Jing, who was usually dependable and wise? After he saw Bai Lian, why did he suddenly become irrational?
Bai Lian, as the reincarnated Immortal Emperor, is very formidable.
But hadn’t they already done a lot of simulations before launching this operation?
What is happening now is completely within their expectation.
What is there to be afraid of?
“You don’t understand.”
A female cultivator from the Immortal World shook her head.
Someone immediately asked, “Who is Witch Queen?”
The woman shivered lightly, her eyes first falling on Bai Lian’s feet, wrapped in white silk.
Now,
She remembered the great terror of being foot-tied by the Witch Queen!
She sighed, “If we were in the Immortal World, I wouldn’t even dare to call her name directly. Once she heard it via the Great Tao, even if we are separated by countless worlds, Witch Queen’s Dharma Body will still immediately descend and punish us.”
People who were bystanders looked at each other with curiosity.
The woman continued, “Witch Queen is the master of the Witch Gate, a supreme being in the thirty thousand domains of the Immortal World. She has control over the lives of tens of millions of creatures. Possessing an invincible power under the Heavenly Lord, she is cold-minded and tyrannical beyond measure…”
Generally speaking, Witch Queen is no worse than that famous Immortal Heavenly Lord!
[I am the greatest karma!]
[Will the dragon, who fought fiercely in the sky above nine heavens, stoop to gaze at the worms on the ground?]
[I let you go but you wouldn’t leave, now I’ve changed my mind, even the Heavenly Lord couldn’t save you!]
But unlike the Immortal Heavenly Lord, the Witch Queen often breaks her promises.
She actually enjoys bullying the “ants” the most.
Witch Queen often punished these people who mentioned her name in the Immortal World for no reason.
“Is Bai Lian the Witch Queen?”
The female cultivator nodded silently.
Since Jiang Jing was so certain, there must have been some truth behind it.
He suffered a lot from the Witch Queen and Xianyuan Emperor when he was in the Immortal World.
Here, nobody knows Witch Queen better than him!
“Hiss -”
The crowd gasped.
They were numerous, having already completed half of the ceremony, but could they really withstand an Immortal Emperor’s rage?
Jiang Jing was less secure than them.
His composure was just a guise of protection!
He was originally a Demigod-level beastmaster.
The reason that he cannot enter the Immortal Emperor realm so far is because the purity of his fairy pet’s bloodline is not sufficient.
The fairy pet that he viewed as an ancient divine beast only had 71% of its bloodline from the divine beast, with 26% from a secondary divine beast born from the sacred realm.
What’s even more terrifying is that his fairy pet also has 2% monstrous bloodline!
Jiang Jing’s faith once crumbled.
In this situation, it is impossible for him to become an Immortal Emperor.
This question had plagued him for tens of thousands of years, until he was beaten by Green Moon Sword Venerable and fled to this small world.
One day.
Jiang Jing accidentally stumbled upon the Bronze Valley that was buried deep underground.
He was pleasantly surprised to find the Valley Palace suppressing the Nether Path and a pure-blooded Night Saber Demon.
It doesn’t matter what the Nether Path is, it doesn’t matter if opening the Nether Path to the underworld causes the living creatures in the entire North Luzhou to be killed.
He only knew his chance had come!
If he can get the Night Saber Demon, he will have a chance to reach the Immortal Emperor realm.
Jiang Jing took immediate action.
Unfortunately, with his current strength, he can’t shake the seal of the palace.
He then struck his idea on the Hades Hall.
Nether Bloodline is a good thing.
For safety considerations, Jiang Jing didn’t rush into the Hades Hall to seize the Nether Bloodline but instead planned to take a sly and silent approach.
He secretly reached an agreement with the third leader of The Hades Hall, Black Spirit Lord.
He secretly helped Black Spirit Lord to become a Netherworld Ghost Immortal, so Black Spirit Lord handed over the current Lord of the Hades Hall and the coffin of the first Lord of the Hades Hall to him.
Twenty years.
This is Jiang Jing’s mental expectation.
Take your time. It’s a good thing not to draw attention from others.
However, with Yue Wuyang and Bai Lian showing up, his plans were completely thrown off!
Things started taking an unexpected direction.
Because of Bai Lian’s intervention, the Hades Hall changed drastically.
The Lord of the Underworld was pushing too hard.
He, as tough and resolute as steel and stalwart, could not stand the overwhelming pressure coming from all directions for much longer.
Not to mention Black Spirit Lord, who was just a waste.
It’s estimated that Black Spirit Lord’s plan will be found by the Lord of the Hades Hall in no more than half a year.
Jiang Jing had to change his original strategy.
He joined forces with many partners, working together both inside and out. In one night, they were able to overcome the prestigious Hades Hall.
Afterwards, they immediately dug out the crystal coffin of the first Lord of the Hades Hall, that “immortal” girl.
The Lord of the Hades Hall is the opening line.
The key to breaking the Night Saber Demon’s Seal is this immortal girl!
However…
Seeing victory on the horizon, Bai Lian reappeared.
Jiang Jing had envisioned such a scene.
But when he truly looked into Bai Lian’s eyes, he realized that he had oversimplified the situation.
Is this the gaze of the Immortal Emperor?
That line of sight actually has no focus.
That is how wide a view you need to accept all!
Jiang Jing feels he is not seeing a speck of light, but an unfathomable sea!
He had no idea what Bai Lian was looking at, much less what she was thinking.
He only knew that he couldn’t hold on anymore.
No one can sever his destiny to become an Immortal Emperor.
No one!
“Go to the coffin, now, immediately!”
“Yes, yes.”
People on the altar became chaotic.
Just like Bai Lian now.
Damn it!
Which option should I choose in the end?
Bai Lian’s eyes kept darting between the four options.
[Task 1: Without saying a word, give Jiang Jing a slap on the face (Reward: your cultivation base breakthrough to the Transmigration Stage).]
[Task 2: “Uh…I think I made a wrong turn. You guys keep going, I’m gonna head back.” (Reward: Heavenly Gang Crafting Formation)]
[Task 3: Said with a sneer, “You don’t bow to the Emperor, you’ve lost your lives!” (Reward: Six-Sided Imperial Pill)]
[Task 4: Stand still without saying a word (Reward: Soft Skill +14)]
She is too scared to choose Task 1.
Once it started, she would have no chance to think of a countermeasure.
Task 2 doesn’t work either.
She is now conflicted between choosing Task 3 or Task 4.
“Is this system really okay now?”
The tasks triggered in this time period have caused Bai Lian to become suspicious of the system.
If she doesn’t do anything and lets Jiang Jing and the others carry out the ceremony, it should be more dangerous than just starting a fight.
“Is there anything I missed?”
Bai Lian anxiously wanted to grab her stomach.
Time is running out.
Seeing the people on the altar had already placed the crystal coffin above the Sky Glory, she finally made a decision.
The system won’t hurt her! She decided to trust it.
“Choose Task 4!”
At that moment.
Bai Lian’s dull eyes lit up!
That light was like the first ray of light when Heaven and Earth opened.
It shone through the dark palace, into Jiang Jing’s eyes and everyone else’s.
Night is no longer just night.
In a vast expanse of white.
Jiang Jing saw Bai Lian’s nose twitching, and the corner of her mouth also curved into a faint smile.
A faint smile!
What is this if not mockery?
Boom.
Jiang Jing never expected that a big explosion would occur in the Sea of his Divine Sense.
There must be a problem!
The dignified Witch Queen would never show such an expression without any reason.
But where is the problem?
He looked around but didn’t find anything unusual near Bai Lian.
Suddenly.
Jiang Jing remembered what had happened when Yue Wuyang was called by Bai Lian to come to the East Divine Land.
His most impressive impression of Kite was that “It turns out everything was in your calculations.”
“Calculate.”
Bad.
Jiang Jing’s face changed drastically.
“Stop, stop now!”
In the midst of everyone’s surprised gaze, he spun around and flew next to the crystal coffin.
“Jiang…”
Black Spirit Lord was just about to speak when Jiang Jing interrupted him.
“Shut up.”
“…”
What is he doing?
Even Bai Lian was confused.
This is a scene she had never imagined.
Shouldn’t they start fighting just when they meet? Who wrote this script? It’s too weird, right?
She saw Jiang Jing slap the lid of the crystal coffin like a madman.
Hum——
The divine light rippled.
Though the crystal coffin was secured, it couldn’t withstand the impact.
With the seal breaking, the coffin lid flew off with a resounding bang.
“This…?”
Jiang Jing stood frozen.
Inside the crystal coffin, there was nothing!
He had clearly felt the presence of someone inside, but as soon as the coffin opened, that person scattered like dust, leaving only an empty coffin.
Without the body of the immortal girl, what was there to free the sealed Night Saber Demon?
“Ha ha…”
Jiang Jing’s laugh echoed.
He understood now.
It all made sense.
No wonder Bai Lian had that sarcastic look on her face.
No wonder she remained so composed. No matter how he provoked her, her expression never wavered.
She had already foreseen this outcome.
“It’s you, it’s you, it’s you!”
Jiang Jing shouted, his face contorting with terror, causing those around him to shudder.
“What’s wrong?”
The Black Spirit Lord rushed forward, his face filled with disbelief.
“Gone? How could that be?!”
At that moment, dozens of eyes turned toward Bai Lian.
Wait.
Though the exact cause was unclear, I can assure you, this was not my doing!
Sigh.
Bai Lian sighed softly.
Explaining to them was pointless.
The sides were set, and only one could emerge victorious.
Bai Lian’s gaze froze. She tightened her grip on the low-grade Immortal Spirit Stone in her hand. The Qi in her body stirred in response to her cultivation technique.
The female cultivator on the altar made the first move.
Bai Lian saw a flash of purple light shoot into the sky. Before she could react, the female cultivator was already three feet in front of her.
Too bad!
The distance was too close. Bai Lian didn’t have time to consume the Immortal Spirit Stone and counterattack.
All she could do was brace herself for the impact.
But after that, she would be unlikely to take down even half of the opponents, let alone save the unconscious Lord of the Hades Hall.
The damn system—telling me that Task 4 only had a 14-point risk again?
Did you pocket part of my reward?
Bai Lian’s face twisted with frustration.
Today, I may die, but none of you will survive either!
She raised her right hand to defend herself.
Just then…
The “intimidating” female cultivator suddenly stopped.
Her furious energy dissipated in an instant.
Before Bai Lian could react, the female cultivator bowed deeply.
“The Great Witch Queen, I was wrong. Truly, I didn’t know about the connection between you and the Hades Hall. Had I known, I would have kept my distance. Please, Witch Queen, give me another chance. I don’t want to die. Jiang Jing and I are not related. We barely knew each other… I… I…”
Tears filled the female cultivator’s eyes, her expression genuine.
Ah… what?
Bai Lian stood dumbfounded.
Jiang Jing was also frozen.
Black Spirit Lord and the others stared in shock.
What just happened?
Bai Lian awkwardly held her raised hand.
After a long pause, she reluctantly extended it forward and gently placed it on the female cultivator’s chin.
The girl’s tear-streaked face met her gaze.
Bai Lian gritted her teeth, muttering, “Not bad.”
Suddenly, the female cultivator burst into laughter.
“Witch Queen, are you going to spare me?”
Can I not forgive you?
Bai Lian had no words.
She felt as though she had been taken hostage.
However, on the bright side, it meant one fewer opponent.
Whoosh.
A streak of light fell.
A masked man appeared, pleading, “Your Majesty Witch Queen, I was wrong too. I’m not familiar with Jiang Jing. We barely exchanged thirty sentences. It was foolish of me to follow him against the Hades Hall. Please forgive me!”
“…”
When did you only speak thirty sentences to me?
Jiang Jing looked ready to devour him.
Bai Lian had seen many things in her life.
But never had she seen something like this.
In less than a dozen breaths, twelve of Jiang Jing’s former guards had fled, leaving only Black Spirit Lord.
“I will always support Witch Queen!”
“I will change my ways!”
Jiang Jing’s face turned pale.
Black Spirit Lord’s was even paler.
What the hell?
Others could surrender, but he couldn’t.
Even if he jumped out and claimed he was deceived by Jiang Jing, it wouldn’t change the fact that the Lord of the Hades Hall was severely injured from his sneak attack.
He had no other choice!
Black Spirit Lord slowly turned his head.
At the same time, Jiang Jing did the same.
Their gazes locked.
Both had steely determination in their eyes.
At least there was still him!
Jiang Jing thought with a flicker of warmth in his heart.
But what he didn’t know was that Black Spirit Lord’s heart was like a raging wild beast.
Fuck you! Have you heard me? Fuck you!
If it weren’t for you coming to my door, how would I have thought of betraying the Lord of the Hades Hall?
Fuck you.
If I die today, don’t think you’re better off!
Jiang Jing suppressed his emotions and moved to stand beside the Lord of the Hades Hall.
Do you think you’re certain of victory, Witch Queen?
No!
This is just the beginning.
It’s no different from dealing with you alone versus dealing with you and these weaklings!
Let me see how strong you really are, now that you’ve reincarnated into this world!
Boom!
A surge of terrifying pressure, filled with the flames of fury, immediately enveloped the entire palace.
