The Empress's No.1 Lackey-Chapter 1249 - 665: Battle of Heavenly Humans, Death to the Demoness!
Upon hearing this, everyone did not breathe a sigh of relief; instead, their expressions became even more bitter.
Once Wu Xiankui kills Zhao Douan, it would be equivalent to the Thousand Islands becoming enemies with the court!
But if they stop him? Ha, even together, they are no match for Wu Xiankui.
And if they ally with Zhao Douan to fight against Wu Xiankui? They are not that desperate yet...
While these natives were worrying about what to do next, an unexpected event occurred.
Just ahead, the sailboat suddenly spun around and pointed its deck directly at them.
Soon after, a tall elder dressed in a black priest robe with a jade scroll hanging from his waist spoke with a smile: "Wu Xiankui, it’s been a while."
Zhang Yan Yi?!
At this moment, Wu Xiankui seemed to face doom, suddenly halting his advance, staring intently at the old Taoist on the ship, his heart sinking fast!
A trap!
He immediately realized that this was simply a trap!
The Empress and Zhang Yan Yi have already formed an alliance. The Zhaos coming to the East Sea to gather medicine was just a ruse to lure him here so they could join forces with Zhang Yan Yi to kill him!
Yes, that’s it. There is no other possibility.
"Zhang! Yan! Yi!" Wu Xiankui’s face darkened, his Qi Sea resounding, an overwhelming Qi Mechanism billowing and forming an immense column that shot up into the heavens: "Did the Empress send you?!"
Zhang Yan Yi paused, suspicious of how this guy knew about his alliance with the Empress. Did he underestimate this man? He nodded cautiously: "Indeed, I am entrusted by Her Majesty."
Indeed! The Empress wants to ambush me... After destroying the Divine Dragon Temple, she wants to seize the opportunity to destroy Qingshan... Wu Xiankui felt he understood everything.
The other Thousand-Island Elders were stunned at this moment.
From the conversation, they realized that the elder in front of them was the current Heavenly Master.
"This is bad!" The Tianyuan Island Master felt a chill run down his spine, almost instinctively stepping back: "Stay away from them!"
In a battle of celestial beings, being caught in the crossfire would leave them with no chance of survival.
Wu Xiankui couldn’t spare them a glance now, only sweeping his gaze over the deck, saying coldly: "Where’s that Zhao brat? Why hasn’t he come out to see me?"
His heart stirred as he looked towards the sea mist: "Could he already have entered the Silent Sea?"
Zhang Yan Yi gave a faint smile: "Wu Xiankui, are you interrogating this poor Taoist?"
Wu Xiankui was already convinced he had fallen into an ambush and had no intention of wasting breath.
His mixed black-and-white hair danced wildly, the sea beneath his feet exploding into towering waves, and he said harshly: "Zhang, don’t think I’m afraid of you because I’m injured! This is the territory of the Sea God, hehe, and within the Divine domain, the suppression on you, a magician, is much heavier than on a martial artist, and I’ve observed the sea from Qingshan for decades; the Sea God’s suppression doesn’t matter to me. If today you court death, I’ll grant your wish!"
With those words, Wu Xiankui stepped forward, retracting his remaining arm at the elbow, and then punched out.
"Boom——"
The world changed drastically, fierce winds raged, and everything went dark.
"... Reckless brute!" Zhang Yan Yi’s eyelids twitched furiously, intending to fight him in order to jointly restrain the Sea God, but not expecting the opponent to strike a killing blow right away.
The old Heavenly Master angrily tapped his cloth shoe, sending the ship under his feet flying like an arrow into the sea mist.
The old Taoist’s sleeves billowed, layer upon layer of Qingyun clouding above his head, and with each step, a Green Lotus blossomed beneath him.
Step by step, Green Lotus.
In the blink of an eye, the two celestial beings disagreed and started fighting fiercely.
And, as expected, the intangible Sea God was drawn in. The surrounding sea was filled with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder, with sea tornadoes reaching skyward, as if wanting to tear the two apart.
"Not good! Into the sea!"
The Tianyuan Island Master turned pale with fear and plunged into the sea, diving rapidly!
By relying on their main feature of the Sea God, they could survive by hiding underwater.
"What to do next? The Sea God has never been this angry before!"
Underwater, the elder dressed as a fisherman clutched his fishing spear tightly, his eyes filled with terror.
"Heavenly beings fight; it’s none of our business. I must remind everyone that Zhao Douan seems to have entered the Silent Sea!" said the woman holding a bamboo basket. "I have a feeling that the other side has a grand scheme, and we can’t just do nothing!"
The Island Master of Tianyuan Island also nodded, "Exactly, we must at least find out what that Zhao is up to. The Thousand Islands are our territory, and we can’t let outsiders have their way!"
He gritted his teeth, "Follow me into the Silent Sea, let’s uncover the truth!"
The elders behind him also gritted their teeth and followed.
This is their homeland, and they can’t stand idly by. Now that the Sea God is attracted by the battle of the Heavenly Humans, the danger in the Silent Sea has lessened.
Together, they should be able to protect themselves.
Immediately, nine elders, like a school of fish, quickly dived into the silent "East Sea Eye."
...
...
"What a handsome lad!" On the island, that alluring and charming woman’s eyes lit up. Raising her finger, she pointed toward Zhao Douan, like a general directing his troops, "Do any of you recognize this person? Which island is he from?"
Around the woman, the approximately twenty subordinates all shook their heads in unison, expressing their lack of recognition.
One of them said, "My Lord, this man doesn’t seem like someone from the East Sea, more like he’s from Yu Country."
Outsider? The alluring woman was taken aback, muttering, "Isn’t the sea forbidden? How could there still be outsiders sneaking in?"
On the other side.
Zhao Douan was just as startled, unable to comprehend why there was a group of people ahead.
"Are they people from this island? No, there are no signs of anyone living here."
"Could it be they sneaked in here like me?"
Zhao Douan was taken aback, exchanging a glance with Tuoba Weizhi. The master and servant duo looked cautiously at the twenty-something people rapidly approaching.
Then, that extremely alluring, even somewhat flirtatious woman smiled, stepping forward with grace. Her long, white, well-proportioned, and powerful legs swayed, accompanied by the crisp jingles of bells, her voice soft and enchanting, "Where is this gentleman from?"
As she spoke the first syllable, a strange light rippled in her emerald eyes. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
An immense wave of mana spread from her as the center. Her voice, the bell’s sounds, her seductive posture, her enchanting stance, her every movement... all amalgamated into a mysterious force that instantly penetrated the hearts of the master-servant duo.
"So beautiful..."
Such a thought abruptly arose in Zhao Douan’s mind. This woman before him seemed blessed by the "Goddess of Beauty," her entire being radiating an entrancing allure.
Were they mere mortals, there would be no doubt they’d immediately fall to her charms.
Even worldly cultivators would find their minds swirling, unconsciously lowering their guard, feeling an urge to get closer, to taste her beauty.
However, this feeling lasted only a moment. Zhao Douan quickly sober up, not because he had a particularly strong mind, but because he always felt that while this woman was indeed beautiful, she paled in comparison to Zhenbao.
If this woman was the ultimate oiran of the mortal world, then Zhenbao was a fairy of unparalleled beauty.
Somehow, Zhao Douan developed an immunity, whereas Tuoba Weizhi felt no sway in his heart and warned, "Master, she’s enchanting you."
"I know," Zhao Douan, clutching his Chasing Saber, felt a lingering fear, "Let’s capture her first."
Not working?
Li Wushang Dao observed the master-servant duo with a slight pause. She hadn’t expected these two to be so resistant to her spell.
Her heart sank, and she promptly retreated on her long legs, commanding, "Capture them!"
Behind Li Wushang Dao, twenty female sorcerers from various Thousand Islands wavered in unison, like puppets ready to obey, casting spells.
Though their cultivation was merely at the Divine Chapter level, they practiced the "Sea God" path, which in this place was not suppressed but rather enhanced collectively with a buff.
"Master, beware!"
Tuoba Weizhi’s cloak swept across like an afterimage as she lunged out, punching a female sorcerer, then following with a second blow...
Normally, with her cultivation, one punch would suffice to kill, but due to the Sea God’s suppression, their power gap was bridged. Alone against twenty sorcerers, Tuoba Weizhi soon found herself entangled, wrapped in flowing water, struggling to break free.
Li Wushang Dao was secretly surprised: suppressed like this and still so powerful, how high was this maid’s cultivation in her full state?
Since when did Yu Country have such a figure?
And as she was slightly distracted, a flash of the blade gleamed over her, Zhao Douan slashed out, "Die, demoness!"
