She paused, then said coldly, "The divine kingdom has retreated to the Thirty-Three Heavens, never to be seen again. Yet you, clinging to life and afraid of death, ambushed me from behind with the Soul-Startling Bell. Such a person is truly despicable."
She didn't know why she was saying such cold and disgusting words. When she saw the young man looking up and the indescribable pain in his deep eyes, she felt that she could hardly control her breathing.
It was a kind of...how could I see him sad...
Wang Shu Shaojun's face suddenly darkened, and he touched his forehead with one hand.
It turns out I wasn't cursed; I guess I was just overthinking it.
"The Bell of Terror is my magic weapon, not the Heavenly Emperor's," the handsome young man said urgently.
He desperately tried to protect Xuanxi Tianjun's reputation, and when he noticed the hesitation on the faces of the celestial guards, he couldn't help but loudly defend himself.
But he was still a little confused.
Compared to being struck by a terrifying bell, Wang Shu Shaojun should obviously be more resentful about being thrown into the Tower of Reincarnation, which was the most torturous place, but Wang Shu Shaojun didn't mention it at all.
It was as if... they had forgotten about the Tower of Reincarnation, which had been blown to pieces and was now nothing.
A look of surprise and uncertainty flashed in the young man's eyes.
He knew, of course, that harming someone behind their back was the act of a villain, but he was ordered to protect Xuanxi Tianjun. If Xuanxi Tianjun were to perish here, all the celestial guards, including himself, would die.
If he didn't want to die, he had no choice but to win, even if it meant resorting to a sneak attack.
If it weren't for the fact that Wang Shu Shaojun's combat power far exceeded expectations—the two of them practically shattered half the sky, even shaking the foundations of this world, causing the Milky Way to tremble and stars to fall—he wouldn't have intervened in their battle. Thinking of this, the young man couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.
Although the Bell of Terror remained intact, the Tower of Reincarnation had been shattered by Xuanxi Tianjun, injuring his primordial spirit. At this moment, his vision was somewhat blurred, yet he was completely unable to move.
Countless demonic beasts locked onto him.
"You are his subordinate, so of course it's his responsibility," Wang Shu Shaojun said coldly.
She raised an eyebrow at the young man spitting blood, then suddenly asked, "And who are you?"
"You!" The young man's eyes widened in fury.
Wang Shu Shaojun's words were clearly an insult to him.
Only those who are nobody in her eyes will be ignored by her.
For ten years, the Celestial Guards and the Northern Beasts fought, yet Lord Wangshu still couldn't remember his name.
He was so angry that he vomited blood again.
"You're not much better either." Wang Shu Shaojun's gaze fell coldly on Xuanxi Tianjun, and he suddenly sneered.
The spirit sword in her hand was pointed at the young man with a noble air, who stood among the celestial guards like a star surrounded by the moon, and whose demeanor was still outstanding even when he was seriously injured.
A long wind rose, blowing his long hair down his face, but his eyes were filled with sorrow.
“Xuanxi, today is your death day.” Wangshu Shaojun said coldly, “If the Heavenly Emperor sees your head hanging in the sky above the Divine Kingdom, he will know that he should never have come to punish us.”
Her smile held a chilling sharpness, a radiance so dazzling that even the sun, moon, and stars couldn't conceal it. Even as she spoke the cruelest words, she remained breathtakingly beautiful, captivating all who beheld her. As soon as she finished speaking, the demonic beasts roared, but a hint of pity flickered in the eyes of this stunning woman.
That was a completely different emotion from her sharp, outspoken eyes.
"Use your death to let the Heavenly Emperor know that no one's life is inferior."
She murmured as she looked up, clutching her ever-present spirit sword, as if she could see, through the endless sky, the most revered being from beyond.
“Our lives are just as precious as the lives of you celestial beings.”
She looked down coldly from the sky.
Xuanxi Tianjun looked up at her.
She was stunningly beautiful, but he could only watch her silently from there.
You're right.
He lowered his eyes and spoke softly.
He always believed that life has no distinction of importance or value, and that demon beasts and the immortal guards who grew up in the celestial court are equally equal. However, he could not deny that there were quite a few immortals who possessed that kind of arrogant and superior attitude.
Although his status within the Celestial Court was exceptionally noble, he still couldn't control everyone's thoughts. In fact… his own thoughts would earn him the contempt of the Celestial Court's immortals. They would say… Ah, Xuanxi Heavenly Lord, you have truly insulted our glory!
He no longer argues with these people; he simply stays true to himself.
The demonic beasts under his command hold the same status as the celestial guards.
But he could only defend his own forces.
He never imagined that a woman would have such courage to rise up in rebellion and defy the odds.
She led her people, even at the cost of their lives, to rebel against the Heavenly Emperor.
Even if it's just a sliver of hope and pride, she'll fight for it, rather than lying low in the Celestial Court and slowly leading her subjects to decline.
"You are very good." This is his Shushu, proud and beautiful, like endless light, as if illuminating the darkness ahead.
Following behind her gives you boundless courage, as if you can do anything.
“Of course I am not wrong, it is the Heavenly Emperor who is wrong!” Wangshu Shaojun said coldly.
Looking at the enormous demonic beasts before her, she seemed to recall the trust these subjects had placed in her over the years. Since they followed her, she was determined to carve out a chance for their survival. If they remained in the Celestial Court, they would only be summoned one by one to unknown battlefields engulfed in war, becoming stepping stones and shields for the Celestial Guards.
