Song Yanran closed her eyes slightly: "So it's the Demon Empress, it's been a long time!"
In the next instant, the two sword intents intertwined in the air, creating a colorful special effect.
With a slight tremor of a dragon's roar, Yu Qingzhu was forced to take several steps back.
"Song Yanran, it's been two thousand years. I never expected your cultivation to have improved so much."
He thought to himself: How can this girl's cultivation be so high? Even in my prime, I would have been unable to shake her in the slightest.
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Song Yanran's next words confirmed what she had in mind.
"It's a pity that your cultivation progress is still too slow. Not to mention that you are injured now, even in your prime, you would still be no match for me."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingzhu's face turned ashen.
Two thousand years ago, she had fought with Song Yanran once. At that time, Song Yanran, who was only a seventh-rank Great Emperor, fought her for seven days and seven nights in Yinfeng Valley.
Ultimately, he was defeated by Song Yanran by half a move, who took advantage of the terrain.
Unexpectedly, upon seeing Song Yanran again, Yu Qingzhu knew that she was no match for her.
Just from that brief probing, I knew that she had already reached the half-step Ascension stage of the Great Emperor realm, something I, with my current physical body alone, could not contend with.
So she took the initiative to cup her hands and said, "Song Yanran, I have come to Yaochi today..."
"I'm not here to challenge you; I merely wish to borrow the Jade Pool to repair my damaged demon core."
Song Yanran used her divine sense to check on Yu Qingzhu's condition, then frowned and asked, "Yellow Spring Sword Intent, have you gone to see Mu Qiuyao?"
"That girl Mu Qiuyao only learned a few incomplete moves, do you think she can hurt me?"
"Not necessarily. You underestimate her. After all, I've suffered at her hands before."
Song Yanran's words left Yu Qingzhu speechless.
She's clearly telling herself it's not going to work.
Then Song Yanran added, "Since it's not Mu Qiuyao, then it must be Bai Xinian?"
"Um."
Yu Qingzhu nodded.
"No wonder then. Fortunately, Bai Xinian didn't go all out; she only damaged your demonic essence. Your life isn't in danger."
However, I am not the master of the Jade Pool Holy Land, and cannot borrow the Jade Pool Heavenly River without authorization.
"I can smell the aura of Empress Luo Shen from the Dao Domain. If Luo Pianhong can use it, why can't I?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yanran gently stroked her hair that fell to her shoulders with her jade-like fingers.
"It seems you've been gone for too long and have no idea about the Four Emperors Alliance, which is understandable."
What is the Four Emperors Alliance?
Yu Qingzhu did not understand.
"The four empresses of Longhan, Xuantian, Tianque, and Yaochi have formed an alliance and ceased unnecessary warfare."
To maintain order and achieve mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, Luo Pianhong has no problem using the resources of Yaochi Holy Land, but you cannot.
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingzhu's face turned pale.
This means that even if the demon realm is rebuilt, the possibility of conquering each realm one by one when launching expeditions into the Nine Realms is almost zero.
