Chapter 106 Succession - 4 Lu Qing listened and simply nodded...

After listening, Lu Qing nodded readily, "Okay."

Yu Jitang couldn't help but glance sideways: Where's your image as a loving couple? On your very first day at the temple, you're already staging a scene of abandoning each other in the face of disaster, isn't that nice? Shouldn't it be a bit like: "You go," "I won't go," "Go quickly," "No..."

Wu Shen released Lu Qing's hand and walked towards the elder who was still arguing with the envoy.

The elder sensed Wu Chen approaching and knew that all his efforts were in vain. He couldn't help but sigh and say, "Why don't you all know to pull back from the brink and turn back before it's too late?"

“Because they are already in the Abyss, they have never thought of leaving, and are probably even more reluctant to leave.” Wu Chen looked at the envoy. “No need to waste time, let your people come out.”

The messenger knew he couldn't lure and kill Wu Chen alone tonight, so he made no attempt to conceal it. "Wu Chen, the divine servant, is rebellious, disrespectful of the command, and lawless. By order of the divine official, he is to be executed. All others, leave immediately, or you will be punished along with him."

Elder Yu snorted coldly, "Nonsense, I'm too lazy to waste words on you petty people. Let's see who's the real deal."

Many elders also drew their swords.

Upon seeing this, the envoy waved his hand, and the experts who had come with him immediately rushed towards Wu Chen.

Wu Chen stepped forward, placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and said in a loud voice, "Thousand Layers of Clouds and Snow".

The Taiyi Sword flashed with a dazzling light, piercing the night and shining brightly. Fog clung to the night, and as the light dissipated, layers upon layers of mist rose, truly resembling countless snow waves, overwhelming and invincible.

Lu Qing was mesmerized; this was the first time she had ever seen Wu Chen use such a magnificent technique. It was both dazzling and extremely dangerous. Especially Wu Chen, standing in the middle of the snow waves, his black hair and robes fluttering with spiritual energy, his heroic figure like a god descending to earth. Those who drew their swords and charged forward were all sent flying before they even touched the snow waves.

The envoy sneered and let out a sharp whistle, after which a steady stream of experts surged up from the foot of the mountain.

Just as Yu Jitang was about to go over, he suddenly heard Lu Qing shout, "Catch!"

Yu Jitang grabbed a porcelain bottle with his backhand. He had seen Lu Qing use this thing when they were on the edge of the Western Wilderness; it was an extremely potent poison that could dissipate internal energy.

Yu Jitang hurriedly said, "Remember to give some to my dad and the others."

Lu Qing had already taken out a porcelain bottle and started distributing the medicine to the elders. Taking a moment, he tossed a pill to Yu Jitang, saying, "Come on, this is a small gift. After you finish this, at least tonight, I guarantee you won't get drunk and you'll be immune to all poisons."

Without saying a word, Elder Yu swallowed it directly.

Yu Jitang grabbed a few poison pills and threw them into the enemy group. Someone tried to push them away with a weapon, but suddenly someone inside shouted, "Don't touch them! Those are poisons that disperse internal energy! Be extremely careful!"

Yu Jitang was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "I curse your ancestors! It was you bastards who ambushed us outside the Western Wilderness!" This was Lu Qing's first time at the Divine Palace. Who else could know that she was carrying poison, except for those bastards who had suffered at her hands outside the Western Wilderness?

Many of those people had already started stuffing the antidote into their mouths, shouting, "Catch that witch!"

Lu Qing wouldn't stand for it! She casually shoved the antidote into Qi Ying's hands, then took a spirit pouch from Qi Ying and stuffed it into her bosom. Turning around, she shouted, "How can you be so unable to distinguish right from wrong? You're the bad guys now, have some self-awareness! I'm against the bad guys, so of course I'm a good person. How can you slander me as a witch? Besides, it was clearly you villains who poisoned us first, I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine..." She tossed two handfuls of pills haphazardly in the direction of the poison, "If you dare to slander me again, I'll never forgive you!"

The pills started smoking as soon as they hit the ground. With nowhere to hide, the people had no choice but to force their way over and charge forward.

But Wu Chen slashed again with his sword, sweeping them into the pile of poisonous smoke. Yu Shi's vanguard, like fish out of water, thrashed about for a while before finally settling down.

Lu Qing stood on the steps and laughed at the envoy, which angered the envoy, who roared, "No joking around!"

Tonight's bloody battle should be heavy, a remarkable display of the Zou family's fearlessness in the face of danger, and the starting point for the Divine Palace's journey to another glorious end. It must be a ritual accomplished with the blood of Wu Chen, not a childish game played by a little girl. Yu Shi had repeatedly reminded herself of this before setting off, but this young girl had turned everything into a farcical farce.

Lu Qing was taken aback by his shout, then shouted back even louder, "I won't! You can't beat me anyway, so what can you do about it?"

It's like he's about to go crazy with anger.

Even Elder Yu and the others, who were in a somber mood, were amused. However, they knew in their hearts that since the Zou family dared to attack them now, they might do something unexpected and crazy at any moment. For now, they could only put aside all their concerns and completely suppress the Zou family. Without saying a word, the elders attacked the newcomers.

A fierce battle ensued, and for the first time, blood and gore blanketed Nukun Peak. Yu Jitang and Wu Chen stood back to back, fighting so fiercely that no one could get within several meters of them. As Yu Jitang fought, he asked, "Didn't the Zou family send all their experts to the Western Wilderness? How come there are still so many people?"

Wu Chen said, "You should ask your father instead of me."

Yu Jitang actually shouted, "Father, where did the Zou family get so many henchmen! This is never going to end, when will this killing stop?"

Elder Yu answered loudly, "The divine seal in the hands of the divine official can mobilize the cultivation sects affiliated with the divine palace. Those people only recognize the seal, not the person."

"Where should it be printed?"

"How would I know?" Elder Yu was furious. He wasn't Zou Gaoyang, so how would he know which rat hole Zou Gaoyang would hide the seal in?

Wu Chen glanced at Zhang Huatai. "You'll know once you get there." He suddenly raised his voice, "Lu Qing."

Lu Qing responded crisply, "Coming." She threw out the Eyebrow Ruler, jumped on it, and the Eyebrow Ruler suddenly flew forward, passing over Wu Chen's head. Wu Chen leaped up, grabbed Lu Qing's waist, and slashed forward with his sword, causing the approaching people to dodge.

Yu Jitang followed closely behind and shouted, "Dad!"

Elder Yu, showing great skill, cleaved a bloody path with two sword strikes. He then leaped onto Yu Jitang's flying sword. Father and son, one flying on a sword, the other defending, made a formidable father-son duo.

The other elders followed suit and charged out as well.

When Yu Shi saw that Wu Chen was heading to Zhanghua Terrace, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and waved to his entourage, "Follow them, don't let them get away."
