Chapter 383: Empress Beyond the Heavens!
“And you are?”
Wu Peng, Ma Chengde, and Chang Hui sensed how extraordinary Donghuang Ziyou was at first glance.
Just by standing there, she was like the center of the world, making the world revolve around her.
In fact, the three of them were already making guesses.
Donghuang Ziyou’s peerless beauty, her peerless temperament, and the words they had just mocked North Mystic Heaven.
It was easy to guess Donghuang Ziyou’s identity.
However…
They couldn’t believe that they would meet the empress.
They were still praying that the purple-robed beauty standing in front of them wasn’t that domineering woman.
Donghuang Ziyou took in their expressions. Her extremely beautiful eyes revealed a trace of oppressiveness.
“Since you’ve already guessed my identity, why bother asking?”
Hiss ~
Wu Peng and the other two felt apprehensive.
......
As expected, Empress Mystic Ice was extremely terrifying.
She could actually guess what they were thinking through their subtle change in expressions.
Before the three of them could recover, a sword flashed in midair.
Donghuang Ziyou slashed the bronze-armored zombies carrying the iron coffin into pieces.
Bang!!!
The violent sword energy sent the iron coffin flying and broke all the black profound chains tied to it.
Wu Peng and the other two’s pupils dilated.
“She shattered so many bronze-armored zombies with one strike. This woman is too strong!”
“We’re screwed. If we encounter Empress Mystic Ice, we won’t be able to survive today!”
Under Donghuang Ziyou’s intimidation, the three of them completely forgot to escape.
Instead, they all looked at the three black iron coffins.
Donghuang Ziyou saw a large group of people rolling out of the three black iron coffins. At a rough glance, there were at least three thousand people.
“How dare you capture North Mystic Heaven’s people! How dare you!”
From their conversation just now, Donghuang Ziyou already knew what they had done.
However, when she saw that so many people had been captured, she couldn’t help but feel angry.
She shook her hand, and another powerful sword light flashed, shattering the other two teams of bronze-armored zombies.
This scene frightened Wu Peng and the other two.
They were all Supremacy Realm powerhouses, comparable to bronze-armored zombies.
Their physical defenses were much weaker than those of the bronze-armored zombies.
More than 30 bronze-armored zombies were shattered by Donghuang Ziyou’s two strikes. It was obvious that they were just cannon fodder in front of her.
Therefore, Donghuang Ziyou’s anger frightened all of them.
“Your Majesty, please spare my life!”
The three of them quickly knelt and begged for mercy.
Donghuang Ziyou’s expression was cold. She stepped forward and looked down.
“What is the Zombie Refinement Assembly?”
Wu Peng and the others knew that it was useless to lie to the smart Donghuang Ziyou. They could only tell the truth.
“Your Majesty, today is the big day for our three sects to refine the Golden Zombie together.”
“The three sect masters heard that there was a ghost riot in the North Mystic Heaven’s Huayun Kingdom, so they asked us to take the opportunity to capture 9,900 people and seal them in black iron coffins to bring them back as refining materials.”
“I see.” Donghuang Ziyou nodded slightly. Combined with what the three of them had just said, she added, “In other words, you’ve already captured thousands of people?”
Wu Peng nodded. “Yes!”
“Very good.” Donghuang Ziyou’s beautiful eyes were cold. “Since the three Ghost Sects dare to belittle the lives of North Mystic Heaven’s people, I’ll make you pay the price by having your sects destroyed!”
With a flick of her finger, a mysterious purple demonic technique turned into a long rope in the air and landed on the three of them. It tied them up and led them to the zombie refinement venue of the three sects.
She turned around and looked at the three thousand people kneeling on the ground. Her gaze was gentle. “All of you can go back!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Everyone quickly kowtowed and saluted.
Then, the old man in front shook his head and sighed.
“It’s just a pity that our country has already been occupied by ghosts. I’m afraid we can’t go back anymore.”
Donghuang Ziyou smiled when she heard that. “Don’t worry, the ghost chaos has been eliminated. You can return without worry.”
Everyone couldn’t help but look happy.
Since Donghuang Ziyou had said so, they naturally believed her.
Moreover, they all guessed that Donghuang Ziyou must have saved billions of people.
Immediately, everyone kowtowed again.
“Your Majesty is really the savior of the world. It’s our great fortune to be born under your rule!”
When they looked up, everyone saw that Donghuang Ziyou had already disappeared.
If not for the fact that they saw fragments of bronze-armored zombies and black iron coffins everywhere, they would have thought that they were dreaming.
This was because they had lived ordinary lives and had never dared to hope to meet an otherworldly empress like Empress Mystic Ice!
…
On the bank of the Heavenly Luo River.
The wind whistled.
An old monk in a gray cassock with a white beard was leading a young monk along the river.
If one looked carefully, they could see that amidst the endless sandstorm, the old monk conjured a golden lotus with every step he took. It was very mysterious.
The two of them walked for about fifty miles. Seeing that the young monk was tired, the old monk stopped to rest with him.
The little monk, Zhi Ming, glanced at the frozen river water nearby and asked,
“Master, in your opinion, who is it that can freeze such a wide river?”
The old monk, Hui Yuan, clasped his hands together and recited,
“Amitabha! To be able to use such divine power, he must be a Great Saint!”
“Great Saint Realm?!” Zhi Ming looked shocked. “Isn’t that higher than your cultivation level?”
Hui Yuan smiled calmly. “Amitabha! No need to fight!”
“Zhi Ming, don’t be obsessed with martial arts cultivation. Zen is the foundation of our pursuit of ideals. Remember that!”
Hearing this, Zhi Ming also clasped his hands together. “Yes, Master! I’ve learned something!”
He couldn’t help but look impressed.
His master, Monk Hui Yuan, was indeed as Hui Yuan had said. He was an accomplished monk who didn’t fight for anything.
Hui Yuan was one of the only five wandering monks in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm in the past 100,000 years.
He had never entered a temple, but his attainments in Buddhism were unfathomable. He was comparable to the Eight Future Buddhas.
Compared to his boundless Dharma, his Emperor Realm cultivation was indeed not worth mentioning.
The two of them each ate a piece of dry food and drank a few mouthfuls of water before getting up again.
Hui Yuan looked up ahead. “Let’s go quickly. Only by going upstream can we have hope of finding the origin of these ghost algae.”
He brought Zhi Ming around and saw that the Heavenly Luo River was filled with ghost algae.
He decided to head to the upper reaches of the Heavenly Luo River to see if he could contribute by getting rid of ghosts in the world.
“Yes!”
Zhi Ming was about to move when he saw hundreds of people rushing over from the right.
They were young and old and were dressed simply, like villagers.
Seeing a little girl fall, Zhi Ming hurriedly went forward to help her up while asking her parents,
“Patron, why are you guys so flustered?”
He saw that these villagers were nervous, as if they had encountered a huge problem.
The little girl’s father said, “Master, our entire village saw a female Ghost King in our dreams just now.”
“Because everyone was afraid that she would do something, we hurriedly brought their families and escaped.”
The female Ghost King visited them in their dreams?
The villager’s words shocked Hui Yuan.
Hui Yuan hurriedly went forward and bowed. “Amitabha! Can you tell me what the female Ghost King said and did?”
The little girl’s father said, “She didn’t do anything. She just asked us to find someone called Shi Jiaming.”
Shi Jiaming?
Hui Yuan’s expression suddenly changed drastically. His real name was Shi Jiaming!
He quickly calmed down and extended his hand.
“Please let me see your dream!”
He placed his hand on the man’s forehead.
Then, a golden light flashed and entered the man’s spiritual residence.
In the man’s dream, Hui Yuan saw a female Ghost King in black staying in a creepy and dark cave.
“It’s her!”
Hui Yuan trembled and hurriedly retracted his hand.
The man asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”
Hui Yuan said, “Amitabha. Don’t panic. Go back. I’ll settle this!”
Zhi Ming nodded. “My master is an accomplished monk. Everyone, listen to him so as not to leave your hometown and waste your efforts.”
The villagers carefully sized up Hui Yuan. Seeing that he had an extraordinary aura and that there was a faint Buddhist light flickering on his body, they believed him and decided to go back first to wait.
After the villagers left, Hui Yuan said, “Zhiming, follow me!”
Zhi Ming asked, “Master, did you discover something?”
“Yes.” Hui Yuan nodded. “I know why the ghost algae appeared. Next, I’ll go resolve this calamity.”
With that, he continued forward with Zhi Ming.
…
Eight million kilometers outside the southeast border of North Mystic Heaven, there were four floating black mountains that occupied the north, south, east, and west.
Black smoke billowed from the four black mountains like a black sea.
The environment was extremely dangerous and strange. Once they entered, it was difficult to differentiate directions.
Three thousand kilometers below the black smoke was the location of the Black Wind Sect.
Under the lead of Wu Peng and the others, Donghuang Ziyou easily passed through the black smoke and saw the true appearance of the Black Wind Sect.
Looking down, there were millions of Ghost Sect disciples gathered in a huge dark valley.
The open square in the center was the venue of the Zombie Refinement Assembly.
Wu Peng begged in a low voice, “Your Majesty, we’ve already brought you to the Zombie Refinement Assembly. Please let us go!”
“You know that’s impossible!” Donghuang Ziyou’s expression was cold.
She spread out her fair hand and three mysterious and powerful demonic seals flew out, turning Wu Peng and the others into ashes!
