"Alright, junior brother, give me the weapon."
Luo Chen nodded and tossed the tenth-tier Wind and Thunder Cloud-Splitting Blade toward his senior sister. Qin Xue'er lightly tapped her finger and put it into her storage ring.
"Tianya, your task now is to devote yourself wholeheartedly to the fight against the Wuji Dao Sect."
Qin Xue'er stood up from the golden wooden chair and looked down with a serious expression.
"Yes, Miss."
Qin Tianya stood to the side, bowed her head, and answered respectfully.
[Character Introduction: Qin Tianya, Sect Master of the Divine Martial Saint Sect, Ninth Level of Divine Venerable Realm, Title: Vast Ocean Divine Venerable, Distinctive Feature: A blue water droplet on her right cheek, Weapon: Ninth-Tier Water Burial Sword]
"Please rest assured, Miss, the Wuji Dao Sect is no match for our Shenwu Sheng Sect."
Below the platform, the elders shouted in unison.
"Tianya, I'll leave the rest to you. I should go now."
Qin Xue'er took off another golden storage ring from her hand and handed it to Qin Tianya.
"Yes, Miss, Tianya will certainly live up to your expectations."
Qin Tianya knelt on one knee and accepted the storage ring with both hands.
Qin Xue'er turned around, smiled slightly at Luo Chen, and said, "Junior Brother, we should go back to Wuji Dao Sect."
Luo Chen nodded, and the two siblings entered the void rift. An hour later, they returned to the summit of the Shitian Gate of the Wuji Dao Sect.
"Huh? Master's aura!"
"Senior sister, is Master here?"
Luo Chen carefully sensed it and found that Mu Yingying's presence was still there.
The two entered the main courtyard, where the Emperor of Slaughter was standing, while Mu Yingying stood to the side with a somewhat restrained expression.
"Master!"
Qin Xue'er and Luo Chen shouted in unison.
"Well, Chen'er, you will take care of your fiancée. Xue'er, you will come with me for a while."
"Yes, Master!"
Qin Xue'er responded, and the Emperor of Slaughter took her into the void and left the mountain peak, leaving Luo Chen and Mu Yingying alone.
"Your Majesty, you've acted quite swiftly!"
Luo Chen stroked his chin and circled around Mu Yingying, as if admiring some exhibit.
"I was once an empress, after all. Reaching the ninth level of the Immortal Emperor realm is a piece of cake for me!"
Mu Yingying puffed out her chest and blocked his way, preventing him from continuing to stare at her.
"Aren't you in a hurry to get revenge?"
Luo Chen asked curiously.
"In my previous life, although I was framed and perished at the ninth level of the Immortal Emperor realm, it made me realize that the ninth level of the Immortal Emperor realm is not invincible. Therefore, I need to break through to a realm above the Immortal Emperor realm to make them pay the price they deserve!"
Mu Yingying clenched her teeth and made a 'clucking' sound.
Luo Chen carefully observed Mu Yingying's unusual behavior.
He wasn't blinded by hatred; he's not stupid, and he knows to seek revenge only after breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm.
"..."
Mu Yingying glanced at him almost imperceptibly.
"Mu Yingying, I know I have no right to advise you, but I'll say it again: if the outcome is ultimately irreversible, then let me end it for you."
Luo Chen's expression was serious, and his eyes were fixed on Mu Yingying.
"Luo Chen, as the Empress, I have my own pride. When I reached the ninth level of the Immortal Emperor Realm, I felt that no one was as good as me. You probably don't know that in my previous life, I was born into a poor family. Not long after I was born, my mother's already frail body collapsed due to childbirth. My father took meticulous care of me and cherished me in every way so that I could grow up healthily and live up to my mother's expectations. When I was six years old, he left me forever while hunting. Later, I was surprised to find that he was eaten by a monster."
Mu Yingying let out a long breath and continued, "I did not disappoint them, but I did not inherit their gentleness and kindness. I gradually became a cold-blooded, arrogant and greedy empress. Perhaps it was heaven's punishment that made me obtain that tenth-tier weapon, and in the end, I was imprisoned and tortured to death by someone."
After she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, and she gave a self-deprecating smile.
Luo Chen looked at her intently and listened attentively to her story.
"Mu Yingying, the fact that you are telling me these things now shows that you have the determination to face yourself. Flowers will wither, the moon will wane, people will scatter, and things will change. Only by accepting the nature of everything being fluid can you keep your mind stable amidst change, and not be disturbed by emotions or trapped by circumstances."
Luo Chen smiled and continued, "You have had your glory days, and now you have returned from the depths of despair. You must maintain a good mindset and seize this new opportunity. No one can save you, including me. Only you can truly save yourself."
Mu Yingying looked at Luo Chen as if she were seeing him for the first time, repeatedly muttering, "Save yourself..."
