Rejected by the Crown Prince and deemed unmarriageable, the ugly woman was forced by the imperial family to marry the Regent Prince, the Emperor's uncle.
The Regent Prince was plagued by ...
Chapter 219 Princess, I'm Sorry
Amid the black-robed man's sinister laughter, Yun Qingqing sat cross-legged, holding up a golden formation to resist the attack of the evil spirit.
When the cave was sealed, she immediately deployed the protective formation, but now her yang spirit had left her body and she could not use the talisman. She could only rely on her own yang spirit and spiritual power. However, within an incense stick of time, the protective formation around her was already crumbling.
"Don't struggle. I spent seven days and seven nights carefully preparing this Heaven-Slaying Formation!"
"Your Yang Spirit has left your body and you are isolated and helpless. Struggling will only delay time. Why bother?"
Yun Qingqing raised her eyes and glanced at him coldly:
"That's really troublesome for you. Now that things have come to this, can you at least tell me your purpose?"
"Purpose? Haha..." The black-robed man's voice suddenly turned gloomy, "Of course it's because you're too much of a nuisance! You've ruined my plans time and time again, and now you're still..."
His voice suddenly stopped, and he laughed softly again.
"However, things are different now! There will be a day when you will be slaughtered by others!"
"When I take your soul, do you think the Regent, a mere mortal, can protect your body that has so many merits?"
Yun Qingqing narrowed her eyes.
How could this person see through all her merits?
No, that's not right... What this person said sounded fine, but he didn't say the really important information...
He called Xiao Changheng a mortal!
It was as if a flash of lightning flashed through Yun Qingqing's mind, and her pupils shrank slightly.
However, the man in black robe did not give her more time to think. He took out a talisman from his sleeve and summoned a solid ghost slave.
When the ghost slave saw Yun Qingqing, he became very angry and started laughing wildly!
"You little bitch! So you deserve my death! Give me back my life!"
The ghost slave was none other than the Taoist Cang Ming who was defeated by her in the battle in the northwest and died from the backlash!
The man in black robe raised his hand and ordered:
"Go, break her formation, and when I refine her into a ghost pet, you will get some benefits."
"Thank you, master!" An evil light flashed in the eyes of the evil ghost Cang Ming, and he pounced towards Yun Qingqing with a grim smile!
Yun Qingqing's face was solemn, his dark pupils were shining brightly, he changed his hand gestures and stood up.
clang!
With a sharp sound, Cang Ming was hurled several feet away. He quickly stabilized his body and looked at the barrier that suddenly became more solid with a look of fear on his face.
The man in black robe said sarcastically:
"That's all. Your power is too incompatible with your status. You can suffer less if you surrender obediently."
Yun Qingqing looked at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled:
"You are so sure because you believe that my Yang Spirit has left my body and cannot break the evil formation you prepared for me. But..."
"Who told you that I'm alone?"
"...What?" The man in black robe was stunned.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air in the distance, approaching rapidly. The man in black robe could not help but look outside the cave.
I saw a green light appear in the field of vision, and in an instant it reached the cave entrance, with no slowing down at all, and hit the black and purple formation barrier directly!
The barrier made a sharp sound and cracks appeared.
The green light also revealed its true form, and the black-robed man's pupils trembled:
"breaking Dawn!"
A gleam of light flashed in Yun Qingqing's eyes.
The Dawn Sword stabbed into the crack again. The formation couldn't hold out for a moment in front of it. The crack spread in all directions and it shattered completely with a "whoosh"!
Yun Qingqing put away the protective formation, stretched out her hand, and Dawn appeared in her hand.
Cang Ming finally saw the Dawn Sword clearly. The memory of the last time came back to him and he was shocked:
"That spiritual sword? It's not... How could it recover so quickly?!"
But he quickly calmed down, and looking at Yun Qingqing's body which had become somewhat transparent, he felt a little excited:
"It's just a magic sword. It can scare me, but it's not good enough in front of my master! Besides, you are already at the end of your strength. You are not to be feared!"
"Master! This woman must have a secret method to nourish the spirit weapon. We must not let her get away! Master, please hold the sword back. I will take her down right now!"
The man in black robe sneered:
"Very good, go ahead!"
After getting his approval, Cang Ming grinned fiercely and rushed towards Yun Qingqing!
However, just as he passed by the man in black robe, the man in black robe suddenly stretched out a hand as thin as an eagle's claw, grabbed him by the back of the neck, and rushed towards Yun Qingqing!
"Master, what are you doing...uh!" Cang Ming looked at the Dawn Sword that pierced his heart in disbelief.
The man in black robe took advantage of this moment of opportunity to rush out of the cave and escape!
"Idiot! It's because you mistook the divine sword for a spiritual sword that I missed the dawn! If you save me from this disaster, you have made up for it!"
"Divine sword...how could it be..." Hearing the black-robed man cursing without even turning his head, Cang Ming's eyes showed fear.
But it was too late. His soul turned into a puff of smoke and he disappeared completely before he could even say his last words.
Yun Qingqing looked at the black-robed man's rapidly fleeing back and said in a cold voice:
"Zhiluo!"
"Leave it to me!" The woman in the red dress appeared on the path of the man in black robe and raised her slender hand.
Two vines suddenly grew out of the ground, tightly wrapped around the man in black robe and lifted him into the air.
Zhiluo stroked her hair with a smile, but her eyes were filled with murderous intent:
"How dare you to set your sights on my Qingqing? Have you thought about how you're going to die?"
The black-robed man struggled in vain, and a sound of gnashing teeth rang out from under his mask:
"Just wait and see!"
Yun Qingqing paused as she was walking towards him and said in a hurry:
"careful!"
Zhiluo had also noticed something was wrong and instantly turned into a beam of green light and rushed towards Yun Qingqing, then swept her away and retreated dozens of feet away.
There was a loud noise behind him, and the man in black robe exploded on the spot!
The dazzling white light illuminates the surroundings as if it were daytime!
Zhiluo erected a barrier in front of Yun Qingqing and protected her firmly behind her.
The aftermath of the explosion lasted for a long time before it stopped. Zhiluo removed the barrier and saw that the area dozens of feet around the center of the explosion was already charred black, with no grass growing at all!
Her face looked bad, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"He is really brave enough to sacrifice his body just to escape!"
"What if we get a group? If that guy is hiding, it might be hard to find him."
Yun Qingqing transformed the Dawn into a green hairpin again and said calmly:
"As expected, I was just trying to test the other party's bottom line this time, I didn't expect to get rid of him once and for all."
"...What? You deliberately exposed your weakness just to lure him in?" Zhiluo glared at her with disapproval on her face, "This is too dangerous! Look at your soul, it's become transparent!"
Yun Qingqing shook her head and said seriously:
"This person has a complicated background and his methods are sinister and cunning. If we leave him alone, it will only be more dangerous."
"He has been badly hurt today, I think he will be quiet for at least a while. I know what's going on, you don't have to worry."
As early as when she discovered that the other party's yang spirit was hidden in the body of an evil ghost, she had already become alert.
The spiritual energy in this world is so thin that it does not have the conditions to enable one to cultivate to the point where the Yang Spirit leaves the body.
She was only one step away from ascending to heaven in her previous life. Even if she changed into a mortal body, the strength of her soul would not be greatly affected, so she was able to use these soul skills.
Therefore, when she first discovered that there were people in this world who could cultivate Yang Shen, she was as shocked as when she discovered that she had traveled through time.
At the same time, there are some speculations.
So, the first moment she arrived at the cave and faced the man in black, she summoned Dawn and Zhiluo at the same time.
In this round, she sacrificed some of her soul. Although she failed to capture the opponent alive, she made a great profit by directly destroying his physical body.
Zhiluo sighed and interrupted her thoughts:
"You are always right, but next time something like this happens, you should inform me earlier and let me take the lead. Don't put yourself in danger again."
Yun Qingqing smiled slightly but did not express her opinion.
"Let's go."
The two figures turned into points of light and rushed back the way they came.
By the time she entered the palace, the sky was already turning white.
Yun Qingqing suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"What's wrong?" Zhiluo asked puzzled.
"...It's okay, you can go back first." Yun Qingqing looked in the direction of her yard, "I still have some things to deal with."
Zhiluo looked in the direction she was going, and after taking another close look at her, she suddenly chuckled:
"Okay, then I won't disturb you from enjoying your time alone together. See you later!"
After saying that, she turned into a ball of green light and disappeared from sight in a moment.
Yun Qingqing: ...
She rubbed her eyebrows, and her yang soul shrank to the size of a palm. She disappeared, bypassed Nan Zheng who was guarding outside the house without noticing, and floated into her room.
Walking around the screen, she saw her own body lying on the bed. Xiao Changheng was sitting at the head of the bed, holding her hand tightly, staring at her without blinking, with worry in his eyes almost overflowing.
Yun Qingqing floated to the bed, ready to hide her yang spirit between her eyebrows and return to her body, but when she saw her own face clearly, she was startled.
I saw that the little face was pale, the lips were bloodless, and even the breathing was much weaker.
The man's hoarse voice came from behind him.
"Qingqing...can you hear me?"
"Please don't scare me, okay..."
"Qingqing, you must not be in any trouble..."
Yun Qingqing's heart tightened slightly, and just as she was about to make some hand gestures to return to her body, she heard Xiao Changheng's voice again.
"Sorry, I can only give it a try...I'm sorry."
She paused.
What's the offense?
A bad guess suddenly arose in her mind and she turned back sharply.
I saw the man's face rapidly enlarging.
