Chapter 320 Cleaning Up
Nuwa, unable to hide her anxiety, began to divine the fate of her magical treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball. "You must be well..."
Suddenly, a fierce glint appeared in Nuwa's eyes. Why was her Seven Star Moon-Holding Whip in the Fire Cloud Cave?
Good, good, good, her good brother, he only ever sides with outsiders, just you wait.
Nuwa appeared suddenly in Taiwei Palace like the wind. Before she could speak, Chang Hao used his brush as a sword and shot it out. The brush tip flashed with cold light and rushed towards Nuwa, carrying with it raging anger.
Nuwa quickly caught the golden pen that was bearing the wrath of thunder. Goodness, Chang Hao's anger was no small matter.
"Your Majesty, how dare you trespass into Taiwei Palace? This is truly... outrageous!" Chang Hao's eyebrows bulged with anger. Nuwa was becoming increasingly presumptuous. She used to at least inform people beforehand, but now she didn't even bother to say a word.
"How could you break through the innate formation of Taiwei Palace and enter so quickly?" Chang Hao looked at Nuwa suspiciously. Could it be that Nuwa had done something underhanded?
"As a saint of the demon race, Di Jun once opened most of his palace to me to show his sincerity, including the Taiwei Palace. Alright, Xiao Shi, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm almost dying of anxiety. What are you talking about with me about propriety?" Nuwa casually threw down her pen and moved closer to Chang Hao. "I'm asking you, do you and Yuan Shi still have a connection?" Nuwa was practically grabbing Chang Hao's collar and pressing him for an answer.
Chang Hao frowned slightly, held his fan in front of Nuwa, and pushed her away a little. "Whether she is here or not is none of your business."
The Goddess Nuwa is far too gossipy. After Nuwa leaves, he will have to change all the palace formations in the Heavenly Court. If Nuwa does something unexpected next time and sees something she shouldn't, it will be awkward for both of them.
"Little Ten, I know I was wrong. Please, can you help me get the Red Embroidered Ball back from Yuanshi?" Nuwa was desperate and had no more hope. The Red Embroidered Ball, what should the Goddess do to get you back?
"I can't help you with this. This is a feud between you and Yuanshi. What does it have to do with me?" The last thing Chang Hao should do right now is go to see Yuanshi.
If they are destined to be together, they will have a future together; if they are not, clinging to each other will only deepen Yuan Shi's suffering.
"What are you saying? If I could get it back, would I need to beg you?" During the days without the red embroidered ball, Nuwa was heartbroken. If reason hadn't stopped her, she would have stormed into Taiwei Palace that very day.
Looking back now, what was the point of being rational, what was the point of waiting for the primordial energy to dissipate? This was truly the worst decision she ever made. Just by slowing down, the best help she could have gotten back the Red Embroidered Ball turned into an obstacle.
"Then I can't help you. I just betrayed you recently. I don't know how angry Yuanshi will be when he sees me. If you're not afraid of losing your red embroidered ball, I can write you a letter by hand. Take it to Kunlun Mountain and see if my face is still useful." Chang Hao pretended to write the letter by hand.
"Oh well, never mind," Nuwa was completely bewildered. She took Chang Hao's letter to Yuanshi, who was in a fit of anger, which only added fuel to the fire, as he felt his red embroidered ball was too secure.
"In the end, the reason for the loss of the red embroidered ball still lies with you, Your Majesty. Even if Your Majesty dislikes Yuanshi, you shouldn't have openly made sarcastic remarks and insinuations. I'm a little surprised that Yuanshi has tolerated you for so long." Chang Hao thought several times that they would fight on the spot.
Nuwa glanced at Chang Hao silently. It was only because you were there that Yuanshi didn't have such good manners.
"Things have come to this, Chang Hao, do you have any advice for me?" Nuwa saw that there was really no hope with Chang Hao, so she had no choice but to step in herself, and she didn't know what the outcome would be.
“Your Majesty, you have always been wise, why do I need to guide you?” Chang Hao did not believe that Nuwa was without a solution, but was simply too lazy to do so. “Your Majesty Nuwa only needs to cater to his preferences, and Yuanshi is sometimes quite easy to talk to.”
Nuwa looked at Chang Hao with a helpless and resentful expression. How could she not know the principle of catering to someone's preferences? Wasn't it just that Yuanshi Tianzun liked you?
Little did I expect that she would go too far this time; it was completely unexpected.
Seeing that it was impossible to get Chang Hao to intervene, Nuwa turned to gossip about the reason for the use of the Qiyuan San: "Little Ten, tell the Empress quietly, did Master do something? And Yuanshi, was he fed anything...?"
A sharp sword pierced straight for Nuwa's heart. Nuwa retreated rapidly, her back soaked with sweat from fright. "Little Ten, if you don't want to talk, then don't. Don't do anything..."
"Heh..." Chang Hao sneered, "Wan Jiansheng."
Nuwa always knows how to rub salt in the wound. His tolerance has its limits, and this time, he was determined to make her feel the pinch, to teach her what it's okay to be curious about and what she should keep quiet about.
One sword transforms into ten thousand swords, forming a sword array that slowly traps Nuwa within.
Although the Ten Thousand Swords Formation is not as powerful as the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, it is more flexible, and one has to enter the formation even if one does not want to.
Nuwa hurriedly used her red ribbon to defend against the chaotic yet orderly sword formation. Although she knew the sword formation had a pattern, Nuwa simply couldn't find it!
The Taiwei Palace was filled with chilling sword energy, and red silk ribbons fluttered in the wind. With a soft creak, the Taiwei Palace finally gave way and exploded, slowly turning into ashes.
With Taiwei Palace destroyed, the vast space made it easier for Chang Hao to unleash the power of the Myriad Swords Generating Sword Formation. His sword strikes were faster and sharper, and they were mixed with incomparably pure solar true fire. A golden sea of fire ignited on the scene, transforming into golden lotuses that slowly spread to the surrounding palaces.
Fortunately, the celestial beings of the Heavenly Court scattered and ran away the moment the Taiwei Palace exploded. They watched the battle from afar, their eyes wide with astonishment.
Tsk tsk tsk, this is the first time they've ever seen the Heavenly Emperor make a move. That female immortal, she seems to be...
The golden light blinded the immortals, obscuring the two figures at the center of the battle. However, Di Jun, Xi He, and Tai Yi were not among them. They were drawn out by the sounds of battle and, upon seeing who the female immortal was, were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
“It’s Goddess Nuwa…” Taiyi had fought against Houtu and knew how terrifying a half-step saint was. Besides, Nuwa was a saint. No, he had to go help Xiao Shi.
Di Jun and Xi He also changed their expressions. How could Xiao Shi possibly be a match for Goddess Nuwa? They were worried he might get badly beaten up later.
"Hiss..." Upon hearing this, the immortals retreated even further. They didn't want to be caught in the crossfire of a battle of this level; that would be a great injustice.
Although they hadn't experienced it themselves, they knew the power of the Eastern Emperor. He was forced to self-destruct when facing a half-step saint, let alone a saint.
"Wait..." Zhen Yuanzi immediately stopped Di Jun, Xi He, and Tai Yi, "His Majesty said that you should not cause trouble."
"Huh?" Di Jun, Xi He and Tai Yi were all stunned. Xiao Shi was fighting Nuwa and still had time to send a message to Zhen Yuanzi. It should be that he wasn't really serious, right?
Zhen Yuanzi watched the two fighting intently; this was a rare opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it.
Nuwa grew increasingly astonished as she fought. This was impossible! Chang Hao was only a peak Quasi-Saint, while she was a Saint!
Little did they know that Chang Hao, at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, corresponded to the Great Dao, while Nuwa, having attained sainthood through merit, dared not invoke the power of the Heavenly Dao out of fear of Hongjun, thus falling at a disadvantage. It was not surprising at all.
