Truth Exposed, Empresses Beg for Forgiveness-Chapter 140 - 137: Confucian Sect’s Empress—Mu Yunyi! “To Hear the Way in the Morning, and Die in the Evening Is Worth It!” Celestial Emperor Palace in Chaos!
At this moment, everything that was happening was beyond the expectations of everyone in the Celestial Emperor Palace.
They never thought that someone would choose to stop the Sword Spirit Empress at this moment.
And surprisingly, it was the Confucian Sect’s Empress—Mu Yunyi!
Many of them knew very little about the Confucian Sect’s Empress.
Simply because Mu Yunyi was too low-key, many among them had never even seen Mu Yunyi take action.
But seeing Mu Yunyi able to stop Jian Lingxin, the cultivators felt somewhat incredulous at this moment!
Just now, it was evident that the Sword Spirit Empress had made a breakthrough, reaching a new level in Sword Dao.
No one expected that even in this situation, the Confucian Sect’s Empress could stop her!
Above the Celestial Palace, Mu Yunyi stood in a simple blue Confucian robe, holding a ruler, exuding a scholarly aura.
And even in such plain Confucian robes, Mu Yunyi’s beauty could not be concealed.
She was exquisitely beautiful, with eyebrows like distant mountains in mist, her delicate face without any makeup was like the morning glow reflecting on snow.
Undoubtedly, she was a beauty no less enchanting than Jian Lingxin, a city-toppling beauty.
"Sword Spirit Empress, you wish to rescue the Celestial Emperor, but that would be to go against the great moral standards of the world.
How could I not stop you?"
Mu Yunyi’s red lips slightly parted, and as she softly spoke, Literary Qi descended.
The cultivators of the Celestial Emperor Palace felt their hearts instantly soothed.
Their inner restlessness seemed to be washed away in that instant.
"Moreover..."
Mu Yunyi’s tone shifted, her words became sharper.
"The Celestial Emperor burned books and eradicated Confucianism, sealing our Confucian Holy Academy, nearly exterminating the Confucian path!
How could I let you rescue him!
Releasing the Celestial Emperor would be a disaster for Confucianism, a calamity for all beings in the world!"
The vast Literary Qi that surrounded the Reincarnation Mirror had completely enveloped it by now.
There was no doubt that if Jian Lingxin wanted to rescue the Celestial Emperor,
she would not only have to shatter the Reincarnation Mirror itself but also have to cut through the vast Literary Qi created by Mu Yunyi’s words!
Seeing this situation, Jian Lingxin transformed into a stream of light, charging straight towards the Nine Heavens, directly aiming at Mu Yunyi!
Everything happened so quickly that the cultivators of the Celestial Emperor Palace barely had time to react.
The Sword Spirit Empress aimed to rescue the Celestial Emperor, Emperor Wang was struck away with a single blow, Empress Nalan intervened, using the Mountain and River Map to block the Spirit Heart Sword.
Then, she even used the Mountain and River Map to take away the Spirit Heart Sword!
Emperor Wang, seeing the Sword Spirit Empress without the Spirit Heart Sword, felt confident again.
He charged back, even unleashing the Emperor’s Artifact, hoping to bully the Sword Spirit Empress who had no Emperor’s Artifact.
Yet, he couldn’t block her and even got an arm chopped off...
They all thought the Celestial Emperor would certainly be rescued by the Sword Spirit Empress.
Then the Confucian Sect’s Empress acted again, stopping the Sword Spirit Empress.
And indeed, she actually managed to stop her!
"Is it possible that the Confucian Sect’s Empress has actually blocked the Sword Spirit Empress?"
"Forgive my limited knowledge of the Confucian Sect’s Empress. I only know she is the sole Confucian Saint of the present, yet how could she stop the Sword Spirit Empress?"
"Maybe it was understandable before, but the Sword Spirit Empress clearly made a breakthrough, how can the Confucian Sect’s Empress still block her?"
"I too know little of the Confucian Sect’s Empress, this is the first time I’ve seen her take action."
"Confucian Sect’s Empress, has she any battle records from the past?"
The cultivators present were indeed the top combat forces gathered from across the Profound Celestial Continent.
Yet, even so, they knew very little about the Confucian Sect’s Empress Mu Yunyi.
They only knew of her identity—the Confucian Saint!
Especially since she was the only Confucian Saint of the present!
This position is undeniably significant!
However, Confucian cultivators generally dislike conflict.
Among so many people, hardly anyone had seen Mu Yunyi take action.
But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and now that the top combat forces of the Profound Celestial Continent have gathered here, it’s impossible for there to be no news.
Soon, a cultivator stood out.
"I know, the Confucian Sect’s Empress Mu Yunyi once contended with Great Emperors, but no matter which Great Emperor she faced, she never had a victory."
As soon as these words were spoken, many were stunned.
No victory against any Great Emperor?
This, does this mean she’s done for!
Mind you, there are differences in strength among Great Emperors.
Like Jian Guichen, the Sword Spirit Ancestor, though also a Great Emperor, though his strength isn’t weak either.
But if he were up against the current Sword Spirit Empress Jian Lingxin... it would be like ramming his head into a wall!
Yet Jian Guichen can certainly win against some Great Emperors, perhaps even quite a few.
However, regardless of which Great Emperor the Confucian Sect’s Empress faced, she never had a victory.
Yet the one she’s up against now is the newly-broken-through Sword Spirit Empress.
Even if she could hold on for a while, she’s bound to soon be defeated, right?
"So, given this, isn’t the Confucian Sect’s Empress certain to lose?"
A cultivator couldn’t help but voice this opinion.
But the Immortal Emperor who spoke before hadn’t finished his words yet.
"I haven’t finished my words. Although the Confucian Sect’s Empress never had a victory against any Great Emperor,
she also has no defeats."
Now, everyone was a bit stunned.
No victories, but also no defeats?
What kind of situation is this??
Soon after, they started to realize, doesn’t that mean...
The Immortal Emperor who spoke earlier said directly.
"One might say, the Confucian Sect’s Empress, being a Confucian Saint, is also, in a way, a Master of Draws!"
Master of Draws!
Indeed, no victories or defeats against any Great Emperor, what else could she be if not a Master of Draws?
It’s manageable when facing just one or two like this.
But facing every Great Emperor in this manner is somewhat terrifying!
This implies that the upper limit of the Confucian Sect’s Empress...perhaps no Great Emperor has been able to test it out yet!
Boom!!
Boom!!!
Above the Nine Heavens, there came a sound like an explosion.
The Sword Spirit Empress and the Confucian Sect’s Empress are already in battle!
All cultivators know this is the result of the two compressing the battlefield to an extreme, trying not to let the combat aura spill out.
Otherwise, the entire Celestial Palace would surely be destroyed!
Sure enough, even though the Confucian Sect’s Empress showed no sign of winning against the Sword Spirit Empress,
the Sword Spirit Empress also couldn’t do anything about the Confucian Sect’s Empress.
It seems like neither can do anything to the other!
At most, the power of Literary Qi enveloping the Reincarnation Mirror appears to have weakened slightly.
Master of Draws...indeed, his words were not false!
Wang Teng was also inwardly delighted upon seeing this; with the Confucian Sect’s Empress blocking the Sword Spirit Empress, that Empress stands no chance of rescuing the Celestial Emperor!
Even though his right arm was broken now, it didn’t matter, for he was the child of destiny.
He still had secret medicine on him that could heal a broken arm, so a mere limb was nothing at all!
Upon seeing Mu Yunyi’s unparalleled grace, Wang Teng’s eyes were filled with fervent passion.
Even though now the Lixing Empress and the Sword Spirit Empress could no longer become his Imperial Consorts,
such a beauty as the Confucian Sect’s Empress must not be let go!
Just as Wang Teng was thinking of restoring his right arm first,
a fierce Sword Aura suddenly shot towards the Reincarnation Mirror!
For a moment, Wang Teng almost thought that Jian Lingxin had returned to rescue the Celestial Emperor!
The next moment, a vast Literary Qi blocked the fierce Sword Aura.
Although this Literary Qi was not as infinite as Mu Yunyi’s earlier, it was still vast like the ocean.
The Confucian Sect’s Sub-Saint, holding a scroll, sighed softly.
"Sword Emperor, why must you do this?"
The next moment, Wang Teng’s eyes suddenly widened.
"Sword Emperor, even you want to save the Celestial Emperor?!"
He initially thought it was Jian Lingxin returning to rescue the Celestial Emperor.
But upon closer inspection, it was not Jian Lingxin who made the move, but Jian Wuming!
The Sword Aura that was fired came from the Nameless Sword!
If not for the Confucian Sect’s Sub-Saint timely blocking it, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
Wang Teng only felt utterly awful inside.
Why do all of you want to save the Celestial Emperor, what madness is this?
Fine, save the Celestial Emperor if you will, but aren’t you Sword Cultivators supposed to be forthright?
Each one of you launching sudden attacks, don’t you have any chivalry!
Jian Wuming also sighed.
"I am but alone, and this very Sword Dao Cultivation can be said to stem from the Celestial Emperor.
If I don’t make a move to save the Celestial Emperor this time,
how can I keep my Sword Heart flawless in the future?"
Sword Cultivation is about cultivating an invincible Sword Heart!
If the Sword Heart has flaws, it will be hard to advance in the future.
Before dying, didn’t Jian Guichen also wish to annoy the Young Celestial Emperor one last time?
But the Young Celestial Emperor gave the Liuli Jianxin to Jian Ling’er, settling the karma and rendering Jian Guichen’s plans void.
The Confucian Sect’s Sub-Saint remained silent for a while, then spoke.
"Sword Emperor, give it up. You no longer have the chance to save the Celestial Emperor.
Aren’t you afraid of losing your life to save the Celestial Emperor?"
Jian Wuming’s expression did not change.
"As Confucian wisdom says, if one hears the Dao in the morning, they can die content in the evening.
Certainly, Saint Zhou knows this better than I do.
To have witnessed that world-shattering sword of the Young Celestial Emperor, and the Sword Spirit Empress’s sword that surpasses having a sword, I’ve seen the ultimate in Sword Dao, so I have no regrets, even in death.
Moreover, having witnessed the pinnacle of Sword Dao, if I don’t take this step and instead do nothing, leaving flaws in my Sword Heart...
This would make me unworthy as a Sword Cultivator!"
The Confucian Sect’s Sub-Saint remained silent, saying nothing more and refraining from acting again, retreating to stand before the Confucian Cultivators. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
He knew that after Jian Wuming botched that strike earlier, it would be impossible for him to successfully save the Celestial Emperor.
There would naturally be others to stop Jian Wuming.
After the Sub-Saint took that step back, Jian Wuming stepped forward instead.
In that instant, a pure Sword Intent emanated from him, and the surrounding space seemed to have transformed completely!
Even Wang Teng instinctively felt a tingling sensation, feeling thoroughly ill at ease.
Nameless Sword Domain!
At that moment, Jian Wuming was clearly serious!
It’s important to know that Jian Wuming is by no means weak!
The saying goes, in literature, there’s no first place; in martial arts, there’s no second place.
Jian Wuming being called the second sword in the world is itself an acknowledgment by all Sword Cultivators of Jian Lingxin’s position as the number one sword in the world.
But this is also a recognition of Jian Wuming!
Sword Cultivators are famously proud, and for all Sword Cultivators in the world to willingly acknowledge Jian Wuming as the second sword in the world,
how could Jian Wuming possibly not have real skills!
Wang Teng gritted his teeth and, disregarding the restoration of his arm, prepared to step forward to block Jian Wuming.
Three figures soared into the sky.
"No need for Emperor Wang to take action! Let us three bear witness to the Sword Emperor’s prowess!"
Seeing that he had support, Wang Teng initially rejoiced.
However, upon seeing clearly which three they were, his expression turned worse than crying!
