Chapter 674 An Eerie Silence



She could tolerate his disrespectful words to her normally, but now he dared to openly salute her like this?

The anger value from Yun Jianyue is +999 +999 +999...

She was truly angry this time. You must know that her path to becoming the leader of the Holy Sect was filled with bloodshed. When the imperial court launched its campaign against the Holy Sect, she slaughtered countless people, leaving rivers of blood.

In that instant, the temperature in the entire room dropped several degrees, and Zu An's hair stood on end. He could feel the murderous intent about to erupt in the other person's eyes.

He hurriedly explained, "It's a misunderstanding. Sister Master, didn't you just say that the process of lifting the restriction would cause my blood and qi to surge? I can't control that myself."

Yun Jianyue narrowed her eyes. She did remember this. Come to think of it, she couldn't really blame him. It wasn't that he had any evil thoughts about her, but rather that he was guided by the surging energy within his body.

But why does it make me so unhappy?

She glanced down again instinctively, silently cursing, "So ugly!"

The image of his furious, menacing expression lingered in her mind. Then she finally understood: it wasn't that he was poisoned, but rather that he was naturally like that. Back when she was punishing evil, those lecherous thieves were far inferior to him…

Ah, Cloud Moon, what on earth are you thinking about? Is he your junior, or your disciple's lover? Stop thinking about it, forgive me.

She tried to calm herself down, put on a stern face, and slapped the other person to turn their back to her again, continuing to remove the remaining restrictions from him.

Zuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he had gotten through this ordeal. Little Head, do you know that your impulsiveness almost cost you Big Head?

With his back to the other person, he did not notice the abnormal crimson that had appeared on Yun Jianyue's neck.

Not only did he not notice, but even Yun Jianyue herself didn't notice.

After a while, Yun Jianyue's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. The restriction left by the emperor was almost complete.

She took a deep breath and slowly gathered the energy that had been scattered throughout Zaun's body, preparing to finish off the enemy's last stronghold in one fell swoop.

But when her energy reached that position, the restrictions left by the emperor seemed to know their fate. Suddenly, their power surged dramatically. They had been surrounded and swarmed like earthworms, but now they suddenly transformed into a roaring golden dragon, even more powerful than before.

How could the restrictions left behind by the strongest person in the world not have left behind some kind of backup plan!

Sensing the sudden surge of the giant dragon, Yun Jianyue involuntarily recalled the ferocious scene she had just witnessed in Zu'an, causing her heart to pound wildly. She quickly composed herself.

But in that moment of distraction, the emperor's remaining energy found an opportunity and launched a fierce counterattack.

puff!

Yun Jianyue couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood to the side, her eyes filled with horror.

The emperor's methods were terrifying. This restriction could even refine her vital energy to nourish himself, thus creating a continuous cycle. The energy that had been mostly destroyed was instantly restored and pushed back to attack her.

If Yun Jianyue were in her prime, this restriction, despite its mechanisms, would have been unable to harm her in the slightest. However, she was already severely injured, and her cultivation was greatly affected, making it difficult for her to suppress the restriction's counterattack.

She even felt the restriction trying to enter her body and seal her away as well.

Realizing this, she was horrified and hurriedly used all her strength to resist the terrifying restriction.

Unfortunately, the more she resisted, the more nourishment the emperor's restriction received, and the stronger it became; but if she didn't resist, the restriction would soon enter her body and seal her away.

They are like two cups of poison; choosing either one will lead to certain death.

Yun Jianyue quickly tried to find a solution, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't stop the golden power from invading.

Actually, she had another method: to directly shatter Zu'an's heart meridian, thus severing the connection between the two and freeing the emperor's restrictions from a living parasite, allowing her to escape completely.

but……

She recalled how she was injured in the palace and nearly driven to despair by the emperor, only to be saved by this man in the end;

He remembered the rope he taught him to sleep on in mid-air;

I imagined the two of us sleeping in the same bed;

I thought of how he risked his life to rescue the imprisoned followers from the dungeon in order to avoid danger for himself;

...

She thought of all the moments they had spent together during this time, and the energy she had channeled into her palm ultimately failed to dissipate.

Forget it, he's Hong Lei's lover. I can't kill him and let Hong Lei resent me for the rest of her life.

She kept telling herself that.

As for the emperor's restriction, we can always find a solution later.

Just then, she suddenly sensed a power of the same origin emanating from deep within Zu An's body. Although the power itself was relatively weak, its grade was very high, even higher than that of her when she became a Grandmaster.

With the help of this shared force, it was as if reinforcements had arrived in a desperate situation, and the circumstances were suddenly reversed.

Yun Jianyue didn't let such a good opportunity pass by. She directly guided that pure power into her body, and her whole body was nourished. Finally, she condensed an even stronger power to counterattack the emperor's golden restriction.

The golden restriction was pushed back into Zu'an's body step by step. Yun Jianyue had no intention of letting it go. It had just forced her into such a sorry state. Did it think she had no temper?

The golden barrier, pushed to its limit, also became ruthless, completely abandoning its attempt to escape and beginning a desperate struggle.

Yun Jianyue's expression turned serious, because a large part of her energy had just been used as nourishment for the restriction. In her current state, even with the help of that mysterious and pure aura, it would be difficult for her to completely refine the restriction.
