Chapter 203: Murong Ying
In the Great Ancient Dynasty, Tuozhou, Lishun Mountain Range.
A woman in a blue dress, her face covered by a light veil, stood on top of a mountain, looking at the two people in front and behind her. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she opened her vermilion lips with a hint of displeasure in her tone.
"Don't deceive yourselves."
"Murong Ying, surrender and come back with us, or this will be your burial ground."
The middle-aged man in a green robe, who was several hundred meters in front of Murong Ying, said in a deep voice, locking onto the woman in the blue dress with a powerful aura.
"Deceive myself? I think you're the one deceiving yourself, Murong Ying. You have no choice now."
Several hundred meters behind Murong Ying, there was also a young woman in a yellow dress. Her figure was graceful and mature, and she played with a small knife in her hand as she smiled and said, "You're looking for death."
A flash of killing intent flickered in Murong Ying's eyes as she coldly said, "You're seeking death."
"Murong Ying, how dare you, a mere Soul Refining Realm cultivator, speak like this? What gives you the confidence?" The woman in the yellow dress sneered.
"He deserves to die," Murong Ying said indifferently.
That young master Qi only had cultivation in the Vital Spirit Realm. He was acting tyrannically in Suizhou, oppressing the people and trying to capture her as a slave. Murong Ying directly killed him, as well as his two Soul Refining Realm subordinates.
Afterwards, Murong Ying left Suizhou and entered Yunzhou. Unexpectedly, that person turned out to be the grandson of the second elder of the Wanshui Palace, a major sect within the Great Ancient Dynasty with several Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmasters, exerting influence over a dozen states.
After learning that her grandson had been killed, the second elder of the Wanshui Palace sent two Empty Void Realm Grandmasters to capture her.
Murong Ying fled all the way to Tuozhou, but was still blocked.
She really didn't want to cause trouble. Although these two were Empty Void Realm Grandmasters, she didn't put them in her eyes. If she really fought, she could easily suppress them in just a few moves.
But if she killed these two, things would become more troublesome. The Wanshui Palace only had around twenty to thirty Empty Void Realm Grandmasters. If two of them died, it would be a big deal, and the second elder of the Myriad Manifestations Realm would definitely take action. Currently, she was no match for a Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmaster.
Murong Ying also didn't want to create unnecessary bloodshed. If she could escape the pursuit, that would be best. If not, she would have to kill them and then leave the influence of the Wanshui Palace, continuing her cultivation in secret.
"Qi deserves to die, but you don't have the qualifications to kill him." The middle-aged man in the green robe transmitted his voice to the woman in the yellow dress. The two of them slowly approached Murong Ying.
The things that young master Qi did angered both heaven and man, but his grandfather was a late-stage Myriad Manifestations Realm Grandmaster. Although the middle-aged man in the green robe didn't like it, he could only follow orders.
"Murong Ying, don't do anything foolish in your next life. Being impulsive in this world is not a good thing."
As soon as the words fell, the woman in the yellow dress suddenly appeared behind Murong Ying and raised her hand to slap her on the back of the head.
At the same time, the middle-aged man in the green robe also attacked, pointing his long spear towards Murong Ying's abdomen with a powerful and heavy force.
"Hmph~"
Murong Ying coldly snorted without panic. A burst of green light flashed across her body, blocking the attacks from both sides. Then, she flicked her left finger, and sword lights shot towards the middle-aged man in the green robe, while her right hand clenched into a fist and struck towards the woman in the yellow dress.
"How is this possible?"
Both the middle-aged man in the green robe and the woman in the yellow dress were simultaneously injured and flew out. Their expressions were shocked, and a hint of disbelief flashed in their eyes.
Murong Ying was just a Soul Refining Realm cultivator. They had never expected her to have such strong power. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been chased by her for so long and so far.
But now, they realized that they had been too presumptuous and had kicked the iron plate. Murong Ying wasn't just boasting earlier; she really had this kind of strength.
While the two were lost in thought, Murong Ying continued to attack. Since she had already made a move, she needed to quickly resolve the battle.
She flashed and appeared above the middle-aged man in the green robe, raising her hand and pressing down. It seemed as if the heavens were collapsing. The middle-aged man in the green robe swung his long spear to defend, but he was no match. In just a few moves, he was killed.
The woman in the yellow dress stabilized her figure and was about to help the middle-aged man in the green robe, but she saw that he had been heavily injured in just two moves. Without any hesitation, she turned around and tried to escape.
However, she didn't manage to escape. Murong Ying killed the middle-aged man in the green robe and immediately activated a secret technique, appearing in front of the woman in the yellow dress. The two fought for three moves, and the woman in the yellow dress died.
After killing two Empty Void Realm Grandmasters in a row, Murong Ying sighed, collected their spatial rings, and destroyed their bodies. She was about to leave when she suddenly froze in place.
A look of horror appeared on Murong Ying's face. It wasn't that she didn't want to move, but that she was suppressed by a powerful individual.
"Clap clap clap~"
"Mid-stage Soul Refining Realm killing two late-stage Empty Void Realm Grandmasters in a row, truly impressive."
Several claps sounded, followed by a voice of admiration. But when Murong Ying heard it, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.
This person witnessed the whole process, but she didn't notice anything at all. At the very least, she is a True Martial境武王. What is her purpose?
"Who are you?" Murong Ying said coldly, scanning the heavens and earth, trying to find that person.
Even in the face of a True Martial境武王, Murong Ying was not afraid. She could always use some forbidden methods and pay a price to escape.
"You are quite calm. It seems that you still have some tricks up your sleeve. Let me test the waters." As soon as the words fell, Murong Ying saw a slender and fair hand reaching out from the sky, grabbing towards her. Her body uncontrollably flew towards the hand.
"No way!" Murong Ying didn't hesitate and immediately used a forbidden secret technique to try to escape.
What shocked her was that she was still flying towards that fair hand, and the forbidden secret technique did not teleport her thousands of miles away.
Gritting her teeth, Murong Ying tried several forbidden methods in succession, but none of them succeeded, which left her somewhat confused.
In theory, once these forbidden methods were used, even the powerful beings of the Universal Truth Realm would be unable to stop or trace her, they could only watch her escape.
Those who could make her pay a huge price and still not succeed were at least Holy Abyss Realm saints. But when did the Primordial Spirit州 of Qian have Holy Abyss Realm saints?
Moreover, in a small place like the Great Ancient Dynasty, the highest level is only the Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor. Normally, she wouldn't even encounter a True Martial境. How did she encounter a Holy Abyss Realm saint?
Unable to understand, Murong Ying regained her calmness and stopped resisting. She wanted to see who this person was and what their purpose was for daring to take such a big risk to capture her.
Various figures flashed through Murong Ying's mind, suspecting that there were many possible culprits with great backgrounds who could do such a thing.
In the Nine Heavens,
Han Li smiled and looked at the blue-robed Murong Ying in his palm. He thought for a moment and said in his heart,
"Shiqi, Ziyi, you manipulate time and space, conceal cause and effect, and then send out an imperial light to explore her sea of consciousness, to see if she is the reincarnation of those empresses from the Endless Yuan Kun Domain."
He originally wanted to use his divine sense to investigate, but he held back. Murong Ying was different from Yao Xi. When he found Yao Xi, she had not awakened yet, but this Murong Ying had used many mysterious methods, which must have a great origin.
If he hadn't let the Void Bell be blessed with a trace of power, he might not have been able to catch Murong Ying.
Murong Ying's soul seal must have been released, and if he rashly investigated, he might suffer a big loss. The other party was most likely a Heavenly Sovereign Realm empress soul.
"Alright, Master~" The voices of Ziyi and Shiqi sounded in Han Li's mind, and then two invisible imperial lights descended from the Nine Heavens and entered Murong Ying's sea of consciousness.
"What are you doing?" Murong Ying immediately noticed the abnormality in her sea of consciousness. Standing in the palm of Han Li's hand, her tone was extremely cold.
Han Li ignored her and waited silently. Soon, the voices of Ziyi and Shiqi sounded again, informing him of the results.
It really was a Heavenly Sovereign Realm empress soul!
Han Li frowned slightly, then relaxed. His figure disappeared from here and returned to the Chengsheng Mountain in no time.
Since he had caught a big fish, there was no need to continue traveling. It would be better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Back on the Chengdao Peak, Han Li shook his hand, and Murong Ying landed on the mountaintop, standing not far from Han Li with her hands behind her back.
Looking at the man who had his back to her, Murong Ying's expression was extremely cold, like an iceberg that had existed for billions of years. She said word by word,
"You are deceiving yourself!"
As the reincarnation of the Empress Yuan Chu, her soul seal was finally released when she was fourteen years old. At that time, she embarked on the path of cultivation and quickly advanced to the mid-stage of the Soul Refining境.
Murong Ying had many memories of the Empress Yuan Chu, but they mainly consisted of techniques, martial skills, cultivation experiences, and battle experiences. There were very few details about the Empress Yuan Chu's experiences, only a rough idea. Therefore, she had an independent personality.
In any case, her original body, Empress Yuan Chu, was one of the most powerful emperors in the Endless Yuan Kun Domain. As the reincarnation of Empress Yuan Chu, her identity and status were naturally very high.
With the memories of Empress Yuan Chu, Murong Ying had a high vision and did not regard the Primordial Spirit州 of Qian as important. If everything went smoothly, she would be able to cultivate to the Universal Truth Realm in less than a hundred years, and then to the Holy Abyss Realm in another hundred years.
But now, she had been captured, her cultivation sealed, and even the hidden potential in her soul had been sealed. This made Murong Ying very annoyed.
This person was likely sent by her opponents!
In the past hundred thousand years, there had been thousands of reincarnations of her original body, but not many had successfully cultivated to the Holy Abyss Realm. Most of them died halfway.
These aborted souls, most of them died before the seal on their divine souls was lifted, and the remaining few died at the hands of their hidden opponents or other cultivators.
"Laozu is not easily frightened," Han Li's voice sounded faintly.
Mourong Ying stared fixedly at Han Li's back, her eyebrows furrowed tightly. "Who sent you? Empress Huangyue? Emperor Bai? The leader of the Bǔtiān Sect? Or the master of the Western Heaven Palace?"
"No one sent me, and they cannot control me either," Han Li said calmly.
"Is that so?"
Mourong Ying's gaze flickered, and she began to believe that those people's subordinates would kill her soul fragments directly, without bothering to take her away.
Moreover, this person did not show any fear towards those individuals she mentioned. It was very likely that a cultivator with other motives had set their sights on her.
This person's cultivation was indeed impressive, but she felt that he was bragging. Empress Huangyue, the master of the Western Heaven Palace, and others were all powerhouses on the same level as her true self. How could someone at the Holy Abyss Realm dare to speak such big words?
However, Mourong Ying did not ask further. As long as it was not someone from those powerhouses, there was still hope. Otherwise, it would be a dead end. If possible, Mourong Ying did not want to die.
"What is your purpose?" Mourong Ying asked, preparing to deceive and buy herself some time.
When she realized that her forbidden techniques were useless, she secretly transmitted a message to her true self in a special way, crossing endless time and space. Once her true self knew, she would definitely send someone to rescue her. As long as she could delay for a while, everything would be revealed.
Han Li turned around and looked at the peerless beauty in the blue dress and veil, saying lightly, "You won't have any reinforcements."
Before he took action, he had already used the Time Tower and Void Bell to conceal the cause and effect of time and space. Even the Heavenly Sovereign Realm Empress did not know that her soul fragment had been captured. No matter what method Mourong Ying used to communicate, it would be blocked.
Shi Qi and Zi Yi had already given him feedback, intercepting the distress messages Mourong Ying secretly transmitted.
Mourong Ying's expression froze, instantly turning into an ice-cold goddess, her beautiful face extremely indifferent.
She didn't know if this person had truly intercepted her or if he was just fooling her. Mourong Ying believed it was the latter. A Holy Abyss Realm Saint could not achieve this level.
Regardless of the outcome, she only needed to deceive and buy time. The truth would be revealed.
Seeing Mourong Ying's expression, Han Li smiled and said, "You ask me what my purpose is, there's no harm in telling you."
"Laozu has taken a liking to you and wants you to be my Dao companion."
Since he learned that Mourong Ying was a soul fragment of the Empress of the Primordial Beginning, Han Li understood that Yao Xi was most likely a soul fragment of Empress Huangyue.
He already had a soul fragment of Empress Huangyue as his Dao companion. If he could have a soul fragment of the Empress of the Primordial Beginning as his Dao companion as well, it would be perfect.
Han Laozu felt that this was a good sign and decided to warm up in advance.
When his strength grew stronger in the future, he would bring the Empress of the Primordial Beginning and Empress Huangyue to be his Dao companions. That would be complete.
Hmm, since they like creating soul fragments so much, could there be many more soul fragments?
At this moment, Han Laozu felt that he also liked creating soul fragments.
As for marrying Mourong Ying, cultivating together with her, and having children with her, whether the Empress of the Primordial Beginning would send someone or not, Han Laozu didn't care.
After all, he had already provoked Empress Huangyue, so having one more Empress of the Primordial Beginning wouldn't matter.
If he could silently deal with the envoy of Empress Huangyue, he could continue to delay. If not, he would throw the people from the Han Mansion and Li Mansion into the system space and take them away.
If he couldn't win, he would just hide. Once the limelight passed, he could continue to develop.
"What did you just say?"
Mourong Ying was stunned for a moment. Her tone was extremely cold, and if her gaze could kill, she would have killed this person countless times already.
This supposed Holy Abyss Realm Saint was actually a lecher!
He actually coveted her body. How despicable!
This shattered Mourong Ying's plan to deceive and buy time. She could consider other conditions, but this condition was not even worth considering.
Seeing that this person was not moved, Mourong Ying said in a deep voice, "Do you know what you're saying?"
"You should know my identity. By doing this, you are seeking death. Even if I agree, you will be held accountable afterwards," Han Li originally wanted to say that there was no need for her to worry, but he thought about it and changed his words, "Even if I die under the peony flowers, I will still be romantic."
"We become Dao companions, and you are a soul fragment of the Empress of the Primordial Beginning. Does that mean I am equivalent to the Empress of the Primordial Beginning's Dao companion?"
"If she wants to kill me, then it would be the murder of a husband."
Meng Rongying stared at him in disbelief. Not only was this person shameless and lecherous, but he also had a thick skin and was audacious enough to say such things.
"Regardless of whether you agree or not, this matter is settled," Han Li said with an unquestionable tone.
Pausing for a moment, Han Li added, "This is the Holy Mountain of Chengsheng. There are supreme imperial soldiers monitoring at all times. You won't even have a chance to commit suicide. Prepare yourself well, the wedding will take place in three days."
After Han Li finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the peak of Chengdao Peak.
Meng Rongying's body went weak and she almost fell to the ground. The light veil on her face was blown by the cool breeze, revealing an unparalleled beauty, stunning and ethereal.
She had a very bad premonition. This person might have really intercepted the secret message she sent to her true body, otherwise he wouldn't be so arrogant and domineering.
This person possessed supreme imperial soldiers, so it was very likely that he had achieved this. If the distress signal was intercepted, there would be no reinforcements coming.
Even though her true body was the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty didn't know that she had been captured and was still lusting after her body.
Did she really have to become this person's Dao companion?
After struggling for a while, Meng Rongying sighed. Now that her cultivation was sealed, both her physical body and divine soul were sealed as well, like an ordinary mortal woman.
Meng Rongying looked at the magnificent and majestic scenery, expressionless, and walked forward. A few steps ahead of her was a cliff. If she fell now, she would die. But Meng Rongying didn't care.
Although this person intercepted her distress signal, he also lusted after her body. If she lost her primordial yin, her true body, the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, would definitely sense it and might even come to the Qian Primordial Spirit Province to kill.
At that time, she would have no face to live on, so it would be better to die now.
When she took the fifth step, Meng Rongying stepped on empty space and fell from the peak of Chengdao Peak. Her mortal body fell from a height of ten thousand meters, certain to die.
Meng Rongying closed her eyes and waited for death.
"I told you, there are imperial soldiers monitoring the Holy Mountain of Chengsheng. You can't commit suicide," Han Li's voice sounded in Meng Rongying's ears. Meng Rongying opened her eyes and found herself back on the peak of Chengdao Peak.
Meng Rongying didn't say anything and jumped off the peak of Chengdao Peak. When she was about to fall, she found herself back on the peak of Chengdao Peak again, as if time had reversed.
After several consecutive suicides, Meng Rongying confirmed that this person really had supreme imperial soldiers, and they were time-type imperial soldiers. It was indeed impossible for her to commit suicide.
If the time-type imperial soldiers were activated, the flow of time in certain areas would be easily reversed.
"In fact, you don't want to die either, but you have no choice, right?" Han Li's figure appeared again on the peak of Chengdao Peak, looking at the stunning and enchanting Meng Rongying, and said lightly.
Meng Rongying raised an eyebrow and remained silent.
"In fact, you don't have to worry so much. Once you become my Dao companion, the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty won't know," Han Li continued.
"Are you not going to touch me?" Meng Rongying sneered.
"Of course I will," Han Li said without hesitation.
"Then it's impossible to hide it," Meng Rongying said coldly.
Although supreme imperial soldiers were powerful, the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty was not to be trifled with. She had left special means for each soul fragment. When the divine soul was unsealed, these special means would be activated.
If she lost her virginity, the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty would instantly know, even if her true body didn't know who did it, she would definitely be furious.
Her true body had long known that she was in the Qian Primordial Spirit Province. When she personally arrived, searching for cause and effect with immortal soldiers, the traces of the supreme imperial soldiers would not be concealed.
"I have my ways," Han Li smiled.
If all else failed, he would let Meng Rongying hide in the system space. No matter how powerful the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty was, she couldn't investigate the system space. He had two supreme imperial soldiers guarding it, as well as a high-grade imperial formation diagram, so he could quietly leave.
"Hehe~" Meng Rongying sneered, wearing an expression of "you continue to deceive."
"Forget it, think about it carefully," Han Li sighed. Yao Xi was better after all. He decided to let her think for herself. Anyway, he would hold the wedding ceremony in three days.
Han Li's figure disappeared, leaving only one sentence echoing in Meng Rongying's ears.
"Don't you want to become completely independent?"
PS: No inspiration, will make up for it tomorrow.
