Chapter 18: The Witch Queen Who Benefits From Both Rain and Dew
When An Lan received the news from Master Turtle, she was actually quite hesitant.
The reason why she left the Duxian sect and came to this distant wasteland by the sea was entirely because the existence of the immortal lance had been exposed, and she was worried that the aura would attract the attention of Red Dust Heavenly Lord.
Red Dust Heavenly Lord is not a benevolent person.
She is most skilled in disguising herself, and also possesses a terribly jealous heart.
An Lan was afraid that once she was found by Red Dust Heavenly Lord, if Bai Lian and others were nearby at that time, they would definitely be implicated and killed.
That was not the scene she wanted to see.
Dying together with someone is not necessarily very romantic; living is the best thing.
It’s just that if she continues to sit here and don’thing, Bai Lian may die at other people’s hands before Red Dust Heavenly Lord even attacks.
An Lan was restless and had thoughts of coming out.
However, she didn’t act immediately.
That was because she still had confidence in Bai Lian, the cunning "disciple".
"If she were that easy to kill, how could she be such a nuisance to me?"
Finally, what really stirred An Lan up was the news from Master Turtle, which he heard from a demonic beast shrimp hidden in the seabed mud.
"White Emperor Bai Lian has been captured. The Demon Woman lifted White Emperor Bai Lian’s skirt and kept touching her thigh. It’s unclear what her intention is."
"?"
An Lan was stunned.
As soon as she realized the meaning of Master Turtle’s words, she immediately imagined that scene in her mind.
Then…
The "An Lan Volcano" erupted once again.
It was extremely cruel!
She had never done anything like this before, and this inexplicable woman who appeared out of nowhere dared to attack Bai Lian.
"Evil scum!"
In her anger, An Lan thought of Yan Yue again.
Not long ago, she had actually watched the live broadcast of Yan Yue and Bai Lian in her bed!
Apart from being splendid, she didn’t know what other words to use to describe it.
With the events combined, An Lan’s face turned a frightening shade of crimson as her blood boiled with rage.
"An… Master An Lan?"
Master Turtle looked at An Lan with trembling.
The aura emanating from An Lan was not as thick as when they first met, but it still frightened her.
This anger could puncture a hole in the sky!
Master Turtle vaguely saw a terrible scene of the birth of stars and destruction behind An Lan.
It was as if standing before it was not a person, but a scroll depicting the process of the creation of heaven and earth.
"Thank you."
An Lan tried her best to suppress the surging blood and as soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared without a trace.
Master Turtle didn’t see how An Lan left.
It murmured to itself, "Truly, she has the power of an immortal."
In this way, is Bai Lian now safe?
Master Turtle smiled slightly, feeling that he had done a good deed and returned the kindness of being saved.
An Lan didn’t know what Master Turtle was thinking, she only intended to quickly kill the woman who had attacked Bai Lian, and then give Yan Yue a harsh lesson.
Once she could successfully pass this crisis, she would use the extremely terrible revenge method she had previously thought of on Yan Yue.
"You did it on my bed? Haha."
A creepy smile appeared.
This version of An Lan lacked the momentum of a Heavenly Lord, but had a gradually assimilated appearance to Bai Lian.
…
The Qingyu Peak.
The battle in the sky was still ongoing. Despite changing into various forms, the strength of Witch Queen’s soul fragment had weakened significantly. Although she could suppress Yu Ying to the point of breathlessness, she couldn’t completely kill Yu Ying in the short term.
However, she was not in a hurry.
She enjoyed the feeling of leading Yu Ying around.
Are you angry that I caused trouble at the Duxian sect?
Although angry, you couldn’t do anything to help. That made you even angrier, didn’t it?
Hey, let’s play!
Witch Queen laughed happily.
If one must nitpick, although she had shattered the Duxian Sect into pieces, she had yet to kill a single person, only managing to slaughter a group of trembling cranes in the pond.
This is thanks to the full counterattack by Xiao Jinse and others, as well as the attention of the Witch Queen being attracted by the Netherworld Seal in Tong Yao’s hands.
Seeing that Tong Yao didn’t want to answer the question, the Witch Queen didn’t feel like playing with Tong Yao anymore.
She reached out her right hand, and a huge suction force acted on the Netherworld Seal.
Tong Yao reacted slowly and was nearly dragged to the ground. Fortunately, she had always cherished the Netherworld Seal as a treasure, so even though Witch Queen attacked suddenly, she could not directly snatch the Netherworld Seal.
"Elder Martial Sister Tong!"
A cry of surprise resounded through the open space.
"Stay away!"
Tong Yao, who was forced to kneel on the ground by the huge power, quickly stopped the younger martial brothers and sisters who wanted to come and help.
If she was not a match for the Witch Queen, what help could these younger martial brothers and sisters who had not yet grown up provide?
They hastily rushed over, only adding to the casualties.
"Dying struggles."
The Witch Queen laughed, and the power of her flowing Divine Sense increased a bit.
Tong Yao tried her best to break free from the restraints, but ended up being pressed down even harder instead.
Her forehead almost hit the floor, her buttocks sticking up high, her waist bent into a strange concave shape, as if it would break with a little more force.
"Not a bit of peace of mind."
Su Youwei glared at Tong Yao irritably, then her gaze returned to the Witch Queen.
Tong Yao was pressed to the ground and couldn’t move, Hong Yi was bound by invisible pressure, and Su Youwei was the only one who could move now!
Though her fear grew stronger with each passing moment, like the incoming tide, Su Youwei knew she had to make a move.
She had not seen it wrong. Tong Yao was trembling continuously, and blood had stained her white stockings red. If this goes on, Tong Yao will be crushed sooner or later.
[The woman’s attention is now fully on Tong Yao. This is my chance.]
With this in mind, Su Youwei immediately shot towards the Witch Queen’s left chest with her sword.
The sword-light created a blood rain with great momentum, no less impressive than Bai Lian’s Water Spirit Special Effect.
However, this was just a feint to attract attention. The real killer move was on the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl that could poison the Celestial Immortals.
At the moment when the Witch Queen blocked the sword-light, Su Youwei lifted all her spirit and recited a sacred text.
"Hum!"
In an instant, the dark blue Ten Thousand Poison Pearl directly disappeared into the void. When it appeared again, it was just above the Witch Queen’s head.
Countless deep purple light spots scattered down, about to fall on the Witch Queen, but suddenly white light burst out, and the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl was directly knocked away.
"Hmm."
Su Youwei paled and as her attack backfired, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
She quickly retrieved the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl and tried to cast a spell, completely unsuspecting that the Witch Queen was an expert in this area.
"You are showing off in front of an expert!"
With a wave of her hand, the Witch Queen sent Su Youwei flying, and she landed right next to Tong Yao, almost shattering her buttocks.
But what made her even more upset were Tong Yao’s forced words.
"So you’re just like me, then it’s no big deal."
"…"
When are you going to stop caring about face?
Can you not distinguish which is more important between life or face?
Su Youwei believed that calling Tong Yao a foolish girl with double purple ponytails was not a mistake.
Clack, clack, clack.
At this moment, the sound of short and powerful footsteps suddenly sounded ahead.
Su Youwei lifted her head, and what appeared before her were a pair of straight and slender legs, as fair as milk.
Her line of sight climbed along the legs and finally fixed on the face of the Witch Queen, who narrowed her eyes.
On close observation, Su Youwei realized that this was an absolutely stunning face that could leave people breathless. Perhaps only her master and Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s looks in the entire Duxian sect could surpass this woman.
However, no amount of beauty could conceal the killing intent it revealed.
"You’re Bai Lian’s Third Martial Sister, I assume? At a closer glance, you appear to be nothing but an underdeveloped wallflower," the Witch Queen switched to mocking mode.
Su Youwei had her mouth parted.
Despite her inner anger, she concealed all unnecessary movements.
The situation was highly disadvantageous for her and Tong Yao, but they still had some chance.
Perhaps due to being initially stunned and unable to move, the Witch Queen completely ignored the presence of Hong Yi.
Now Hong Yi had a clear view of the Witch Queen’s back. If she woke up in time and launched an attack from behind, they could sandwich her between a pincer attack, with one person poking at the front and the other attacking from behind. Even if they could not kill the Witch Queen, they could exploit even greater flaws in her defense.
Perhaps indirectly, they could also help the Fourth Martial Sister who was struggling in her own fight.
It was a perfect plan but they encountered a major setback in the first step of its implementation.
No matter how much she called to her in her mind, Hong Yi didn’t respond.
It was over.
Su Youwei’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Without Hong Yi’s cooperation from behind, it was impossible for Su Youwei, with only her thin arms and legs, to thrust the sword into the Witch Queen’s body.
Why not use force?
They could directly press the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl inside. Hong Yi was the item spirit of the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl and she was also its master. It was possible to forcefully control Hong Yi if needed.
However, after seeing Hong Yi’s foolish and dumbfounded look, and the Witch Queen’s expression that seemed to know everything, Su Youwei gave up on this plan.
It seemed that Tong Yao was their only hope now.
Since she could still make sarcastic comments on the side, she should still be able to move.
The Witch Queen stretched her foot in front of Su Youwei, staring at her face for a long time before shaking her head disappointedly.
The face was not bad, but the weak and thin appearance didn’t interest her.
Bai Lian’s Fourth Martial Sister is more fun to play with, her somewhat introverted personality makes playing with her very enjoyable.
The Witch Queen stared at Tong Yao and slowly said, "I will ask one last time, where did you get this seal from?"
Even though she was being pressed down on the ground, Tong Yao tightly protected the Netherworld Seal.
This was left to her by her biological father, and no matter what, she would not reveal any information.
"You can forget about finding out, if you dare, just try to read my mind."
"You…" The Witch Queen’s face changed slightly, "Do you think I won’t?"
Tong Yao remained silent.
If you dare, come and get it.
To Su Youwei’s surprise, the Witch Queen’s expression changed repeatedly, and she hesitated to approach Tong Yao for a soul search.
There is an issue!
Before she could ponder any further, the Witch Queen grabbed Tong Yao’s pigtails and lifted her up.
"You…"
A glint of coldness flashed in the Witch Queen’s eyes, causing Su Youwei to instinctively take a step back.
It was an attack that hit her soul directly, and her sight was almost shattered.
The Witch Queen brought Tong Yao closer to her and leaned in, saying, "Do you think I wouldn’t dare to kill you?"
"You may kill me."
Tong Yao still held onto the Netherworld Seal, as if she had already resigned herself to her fate.
This scene deeply moved Su Youwei.
On ordinary days, Tong Yao was highly praised, but in critical moments, she proved to be particularly unreliable, for which Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian and Master Qin reprimanded her many times.
She never thought that today Tong Yao would unexpectedly rise to the occasion.
Tong Yao’s words angered the Witch Queen even more.
It was one thing to suffer a loss at the hands of Bai Lian, after all, Bai Lian was the Immortal Heavenly Lord, but to suffer a loss at the hands of Bai Lian’s Martial Sister?
"How dare you insult…"
The Witch Queen raised her right hand high, as if to directly pierce Tong Yao’s neck, but at the crucial moment, she held back.
She didn’t dare.
The emotion that flashed through her heart when she first saw the Netherworld Seal was astonishment.
As she had said before, the Path Master of the Wanjie Dharma Path, who had a sky-reaching cultivation base, had once wanted to kill Immortal Heavenly Lord, but after sitting face to face for a day and a night, she gave up on this idea.
The Witch Queen witnessed this scene, in which the Path Master of the Path of Wanjie Dharma was holding an identical seal in her hand.
After being startled, the Witch Queen wanted to take possession of the Netherworld Seal.
Despite not having the same level of reputation as the Immortal Heavenly Lord, the woman had extraordinary talents, and it is possible that her strength was not inferior to that of the Immortal Heavenly Lord, as she had paved her own path to become a Heavenly Lord.
If she planned carefully and seized the opportunity, she might be able to comprehend a new way of the Great Tao and become a Heavenly Lord.
By then, she could easily crush the likes of the Xianyuan Emperor with a single step.
With such thoughts in mind, the Witch Queen threatened Tong Yao.
However, she soon calmed down.
Wait a minute!
The Path Master of the Path of Wanjie Dharma had only vanished without a trace and had never been officially declared dead.
It should be known that as an Immortal Emperor, she possesses the ability to summon her Dharma body by using her name as a prohibition order. How could that woman not have a similar ability?
If she probed Tong Yao’s soul, there was a possibility that she drew the attention of the Path Master of the Path of Wanjie Dharma.
Ha.
There is no need to deliberate on the outcome; it would result in her instant death.
However, was she going to allow this chance to slip away right before her eyes?
The Witch Queen dared not lay a finger on Tong Yao, but she dared to act against Su Youwei.
With her other hand, she lifted Su Youwei up and said, "You won’t speak? Do you want to watch her die before your very eyes?"
Tong Yao lifted her head and gazed at the Witch Queen before meeting Su Youwei’s gaze once again.
If the Witch Queen could threaten her with Su Youwei, she could also threaten her with her Younger Martial Brothers/Sisters as well as her Master.
Just…
Tong Yao turned her head with a gloomy expression.
Su Youwei’s heart tightened, "Don’t be foolish!"
She had experienced this kind of thing many times in her past life. Even if she really spoke the truth, these people would not let them escape.
Since that’s the case, it’s better to say nothing at all.
Tong Yao finally spoke up, "Can you let her and the other members of the Duxian sect go?"
The Witch Queen shook her head, "No."
Tong Yao nodded, "Then I won’t say anything."
After speaking, she whispered, "I’m sorry."
A smile appeared on Su Youwei’s face, what is there to apologize for?
At this moment, she felt that Tong Yao was not as foolish as she had imagined.
"Very well, excellent," the Witch Queen showed a fierce expression, "although death is the same, I can decide how you will die, whether it’s a quick and clean death, or after I have played with you."
Su Youwei and Tong Yao were startled at the same time.
Played with?
"Although you two don’t have much flesh on you, your faces are not bad, and they don’t make me completely uninterested."
The Witch Queen laughed loudly.
"You!"
Tong Yao was a little panicked.
"Achieving great things is not restricted by small details!"
"What the hell does that amount to?!"
"Ignorant ants."
The Witch Queen placed her hand on Tong Yao’s shoulder, and Tong Yao couldn’t help but tremble.
She laughed and said to Su Youwei, "Don’t worry, it will be your turn soon."
Su Youwei gritted her teeth and remained silent.
The situation was extremely urgent, but she couldn’t come up with any useful ideas. Even if she called Xiao Jinse over, it would just give the Witch Queen an extra body she liked.
The Witch Queen said, "If you know where that seal came from, you can tell me and I will give you a solution immediately."
She repeated this to the Qingyu Peak disciples who were unable to move, but no one answered her.
"Humph. Since you don’t say anything, I won’t be polite either."
Witch Queen was about to take further action when suddenly a cold voice sounded behind her.
"To be honest, such things have no intimidation for me."
The bone-chilling cold rushed up her spine all the way to her brain.
Sensing the danger, Witch Queen tried to turn around, but it was too late.
Bloodied blades wrapped around her soul and stabbed a hole that would never heal at the position of her mid-dantian.
Looking at the sword that pierced through her, Witch Queen’s face was full of disbelief, "How did you evade my Divine Sense?"
"We’ve fought so many times, if I didn’t make any progress, I would have no face to live."
Still in a cold voice, Witch Queen smelled a strong smell of blood.
She had killed many people in the Immortal World, but this was the first time she had encountered someone with such intense murderous intent.
That red dress was dyed with fresh blood!
The Witch Queen grabbed the sword that was about to strike down, and at that moment, Su Youwei, who had recovered from her shock, also took action.
She didn’t know what Hong Yi had gone through to suddenly turn into a killing machine, but this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity could not be missed.
Her sword was swift.
With one sweep of her sword, she made a big hole in the Witch Queen’s lower dantian and uterus.
Hong Yi moved down, while she moved up.
Hong Yi was behind, and she was in front.
With a pincer attack, the Witch Queen was trapped in a dilemma and could only take the impact without any resistance.
"Is it done?"
Su Youwei lifted her head nervously, but all she saw was the Witch Queen’s sullen face like stagnant water.
The Witch Queen seemed to be talking to Hong Yi, "I smell the scent of the river of time on you. It seems that you are a lucky one who accidentally crossed the river. Therefore, today I will cut off your past, present and future here!"
She emitted a bright light in her hand and crushed the swords in Hong Yi and Su Youwei’s hands.
She threw Tong Yao aside, grabbed Hong Yi and Su Youwei with one hand each and firmly controlled them. More and more strange spells appeared behind her.
The river of time flows forward but is not immutable.
The person who can reverse the flow of time is either an earth-shattering powerhouse or an extremely lucky one in billions.
The best way to cleanly kill such a person is to erase all traces of her existence.
Although the Witch Queen is not the supreme being who can disrupt the river of time, it is still possible for her to kill Hong Yi, who is powerless.
The curse became increasingly intense, and it seemed as if it was about to infiltrate Hong Yi’s body.
At that moment, Tong Yao, who had been thrown to the ground and was dizzy, climbed back up.
The spell was unable to break through the Witch Queen’s blockade, thus she resorted to the simplest and most crude way.
"Release the two of them!"
With a loud roar, Tong Yao wielded the Netherworld Seal in her hand, smashing it on the back of the Witch Queen’s head.
This blow bewildered the Witch Queen, causing the Netherworld Seal to lose a corner, and unleashing a rolling deep purple energy.
Hong Yi and Su Youwei took the opportunity to break free, with Su Youwei quickly blocking Hong Yi behind her sword.
"We’ll discuss other matters once this is over."
"Okay."
"You go first."
"No."
Su Youwei exclaimed angrily, "Don’t pretend to be strong!"
Hong Yi shook her head, "I cannot leave. If I die, you will die too. If you die, I will also die."
Su Youwei was stunned, "What exactly is our relationship?"
Hong Yi replied, "We’ll talk later."
She directly threw the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl to Tong Yao, "Take it."
"Huh?"
While Tong Yao was stunned, the Witch Queen had already awakened.
She emitted a terrifying aura which caused the chaotic beast souls and divided souls in the Duxian sect to halt. They gathered from all directions like a storm, turning the entire Duxian sect into a scene of apocalypse.
"Die, every single one of you shall perish!"
The Witch Queen was thoroughly enraged. At this point, she no longer cared about the secrets of the Path of Wanjie Dharma.
She couldn’t beat Bai Lian, but unexpectedly, she also kept losing to Bai Lian’s Martial Sisters.
How much more can she endure?
"The Purification of the World by the Witch God!"
The sky shattered, and countless rays of golden light rained down like arrows towards Qingyu Peak.
"This… I… and all of you."
Tong Yao was holding the broken Netherworld Seal in her left hand and the Ten Thousand Poison Pearl in her right hand, feeling overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next.
