147: Sister Xia is awesome!

Heh...!

Xia Gehuang looked at Gu Yuan with great interest.

This fellow is truly... exactly to her taste!

As expected, she hadn't been wrong from the very beginning.

"I don't think what this Little Fellow said is impossible. Since you aren't heartless right now, why not try experiencing mortal love? You might just enjoy it~"

Xia Gehuang said with a smile to the figure within the rift.

"You, you all..." Beside them, Tian Mei's mouth hung slightly open, a complex expression crossing her face.

No, aren't these two taking the Heavenly Dao a bit too lightly?

Although, although I know that as a taboo existence, Sister Xia, you indeed have the strength to say such things.

But as a heavenly dao incarnation, Tian Mei still felt a sense of trepidation upon hearing their words.

"Arrogant fools! How dare you, how dare you utter such words!"

Upon hearing their words, Heavenly Punishment's voice was filled with immense rage.

As heavenly dao incarnations, the Heavenly Dao was everything to them—the supreme existence.

Yet, someone was speaking to that supreme existence in such a manner.

Heavenly Punishment's golden eyes were filled with fury, looking as if he wanted nothing more than to rush forward and perish along with Gu Yuan and the others.

"Heh, noisy...!"

Xia Gehuang frowned slightly and pointed a finger into the Void Realm.

In the next instant, Heavenly Punishment's body suddenly exploded, shattering into pieces of golden fragments.

Those fragments quickly dissipated into the air, leaving no trace behind.

His body had already reached its threshold from forcibly hosting the descent of the Heavenly Dao.

How could it possibly withstand a single finger from Xia Gehuang now?

"Enough, Xia Gehuang. We... shall meet again!"

The Heavenly Dao's originally cold and indifferent voice now held a hint of annoyance.

This in itself was extremely unusual.

After all, the Heavenly Dao is selfless and impartial; how could it possess any other emotions?

Yet at this moment, it was as if the Heavenly Dao truly possessed the seven emotions and six desires.

However, after saying those words, its figure slowly vanished from within the rift.

Subsequently, the narrow rift in the sky also began to slowly heal.

In the end, it was as if nothing had ever happened.

The Heavenly Dao... had actually retreated because of Xia Gehuang's arrival.

"Tsk, when did you learn to talk tough? Come down here if you've got the guts."

Xia Gehuang curled her lips and spoke with some disdain.

Beside her, Gu Yuan was utterly awestruck.

"Sister Xia is mighty! Sister Xia is domineering! That was the Heavenly Dao, yet you actually, actually forced it to retreat."

Gu Yuan blinked and said with great emotion.

Hearing this, Xia Gehuang said somewhat amusedly:

"Why so surprised? I saw that you didn't look scared at all just now. Tsk, flirting with the Heavenly Dao... Gu Yuan, you've really opened my eyes."

Uh... Gu Yuan scratched his head and gave a sheepish smile.

To be honest, he had only been riding on Xia Gehuang's coattails just now.

Although he didn't know why the Heavenly Dao was so wary of Xia Gehuang.

But it would be a waste not to take advantage of such momentum.

"Sister Xia, you... well... your style is just as grand as it was back then."

Tian Mei murmured, the shadow Xia Gehuang had cast over them in the past resurfacing in her mind.

Xia Gehuang merely chuckled at the words, then tossed the book of heavenly judgment back to Gu Yuan.

"Here, take this book. The significance of this book of heavenly judgment is far more than just what it seems."

Hmm...?

Gu Yuan accepted it with some confusion; he felt that Sister Xia's words carried a deeper meaning.

But seeing her lazy demeanor, he guessed that even if he asked, he probably wouldn't get an answer.

Riddlers are the worst!

"Master, um, this old man tried to escape, but we caught him."

At this moment, Feng Wu and the others also stepped forward from behind.

Feng Wu threw the Strange Old Man onto the ground and spoke to Gu Yuan.

"Ex—Exalted One, this lowly one failed to recognize your greatness. I hope the Exalted One... ugh... ah...!"

The Strange Old Man still wanted to beg for mercy, but Gu Yuan didn't even look at him, directly letting the Sword Qi of the immortal slaying sword shred him.

He didn't even want to spare a glance at this thing.

"Hmm...? Interesting, you are very interesting. This form of life... hehe... it's your handiwork, isn't it, Little Fellow? Hmm..."

Xia Gehuang sized up Feng Wu from head to toe, then glanced at Gu Yuan and said.

Eh!

Feng Wu blinked; she hadn't expected the person in front of her to see through her instantly.

Gu Yuan just shrugged; he was already used to Sister Xia's power by now.

"Gu Yuan, are you okay?"

Xi Nian and Yun Qingci asked in low voices.

Meanwhile, Chi Lin glanced at Xia Gehuang and asked with some confusion:

"Sovereign... who is this sister?"

Hmm... Gu Yuan cleared his throat and then said:

"We'll talk about it after we get back. Little Chi Lin, let's head back to the Jin Mie Cult."

Upon hearing this, Chi Lin's pretty face immediately brightened with joy.

The Sovereign was finally going back to the cult with her.

Beside her, Xiao Meng was equally delighted.

Xia Gehuang just chuckled softly; she had no objections to Gu Yuan's arrangements anyway.

After all, this Little Fellow's performance today was truly quite good.

Xia Gehuang glanced at the book of heavenly judgment in his hand, a mysterious light flashing in her beautiful eyes.

The book of heavenly judgment... the Heavenly Dao... Heh, it's getting more and more interesting.

I'm looking forward to it... "Xi Nian, who do you think That Woman really is? I feel like she has a huge, huge background..."

Inside the Jin Mie Cult, Yun Qingci pulled Xi Nian aside and whispered.

At this moment, Gu Yuan, Chi Lin, Feng Wu, and That Woman were talking inside the main hall.

After listening for a while, Yun Qingci felt bored, so she dragged Xi Nian and Tian Mei out for a stroll.

Xi Nian had originally wanted to listen a bit longer, as that mysterious woman gave her a very friendly feeling.

But she couldn't win against Yun Qingci, so she could only follow her out.

Tian Mei felt the same way. Upon hearing Yun Qingci's words, she said softly:

"No one knows Sister Xia's origins, but for us heavenly dao incarnations, she is a taboo existence that cannot be mentioned."

Tian Mei paused for a moment before continuing:

"In short, Sister Xia is an existence that can rival the Heavenly Dao. In fact, to some extent, she is even more... than the Heavenly Dao... well..."

Eh!?

Hearing this, Yun Qingci's pretty face immediately froze in shock.

No way, is that mysterious woman really that powerful?

Little Noodle fell into self-doubt.

"I see... Tian Mei, can you tell me more about her? Also, what is the relationship between Gu Yuan and her?"

A look of understanding appeared on Xi Nian's face, but she was still extremely curious about Xia Gehuang and her relationship with Gu Yuan.

Not just her, Yun Qingci also looked at Tian Mei curiously after hearing that.
