Chapter 571: The Barren Mountain is the Overall Situation

The master admired Tao Zi's unpredictable expression, smiled, and said nothing.

Countless speculations flashed through Tao Zi's mind, and she finally chose the most likely one: "Those two... are the leaders of the alien race?"

The master smiled and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Tao Zi barely thought about it and blurted out, "Because you're a Sword Immortal, anyone who can trap a Sword Immortal can't be just an ordinary person."

"It's a rebellion."

Tao Zi was stunned.

The master said jokingly, "Does this white mist look good? The master spent a long time to replace the green mist with white mist, black against white, so that it conforms to the traditional view of the people."

Tao Zi slowly came to her senses and said with difficulty, "Master, if, I mean if, these two escaped, what would happen?"

The master replied nonchalantly, "As long as I live, they will be trapped. There is no chance of escape."

Tao Zi was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "Master, I want to know what happened three thousand years ago."

The Grandmaster said, "Of course you can. You are qualified to know, but your master cannot. He is too close to the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Spirit is watching."

Tao Zi nodded silently.

The master waved his hand.

Another photo slowly unfolds.

A woman who looked very similar to her, but with a completely different temperament, stood in the peach blossom forest. Her expression was stern and she began to speak, "Senior, I just went to the Black Mist Clan's lair and captured their leader."

The master's shocked voice rang out: "What? Not only did you not ascend, but you also went to the lair? And captured the leader?"

"Didn't the senior also give up on ascension?"

The Imperial Princess casually tossed over two black objects as she spoke, saying, "I'm almost dead, so let's get down to business first. The Black Mist Tribe has two kings: one responsible for breeding high-level Black Mist Tribe members, and the other responsible for cross-border invasions. When both kings die, a new king is born."

"I face two choices. One is to kill the two kings, which will severely damage the vitality of the Black Mist Clan. They can either wait for the new king and flee this world, or continue to invade. The other is that I will imprison them, prohibit them from escaping, and minimize their reproduction. But after they die, others will need to take over. In this world, only you can do this. What do you think?"

The master's voice rang out: "You have made your decision, haven't you?"

The Imperial Princess smiled apologetically and said, "I don't want to hand the initiative to the invaders, and I don't want to watch them escape. I would be sorry for the people who died in vain. But, I'm sorry, Senior."

The master's voice rang out, "With a formidable enemy at hand, there's no question of right or wrong. Don't worry, leave the rest to me. If the younger generation is incompetent, then at worst, the two kings will die, and the Black Mist Clan will not escape unscathed."

The Empress's expression turned solemn and serious. "Then the Sword Immortal will take over. Before that, I will severely injure the two kings and ensure that you have the upper hand in the struggle."

The photo session ends here.

The master said solemnly:

"Qi Ran, your ancestors captured the Twin Kings, your master guarded the border, your great-grandmaster trapped the Twin Kings, and even you suffered for two hundred years for the sake of the so-called greater good. No one in this world has the right to interfere with your actions in the name of the greater good."

"Every living being in the world owes a karmic debt to the desolate mountain and the imperial family. If it weren't for the interference of the heavenly spirit, this karmic debt would not have been hidden until now. But from today onwards, the powerful will gradually sense it. When it comes to their own karma, they dare not and cannot do anything to hinder it."

"Remember, the barren mountain is the overall situation."
