72: Wuji Holy Land

After a long while, Xiao Qingyun and Yang Lingchen finally got everything settled, and the two slowly walked out of the room.

"Qingyun, who is he?"

Emperor's eyes were extremely sharp, staring fixedly at Yang Lingchen.

"He is the eunuch by my side, Xiao Chenzi," Xiao Qingyun said with a calm expression, speaking indifferently.

"Is he really a eunuch?" Zhou Xuanzheng's eyes became increasingly cold, staring at Yang Lingchen like a cold pool.

"Fuck your mother, why are you staring at me like that? I'm a victim too, okay?" Yang Lingchen felt quite speechless in his heart and cursed silently.

"He is certainly a eunuch," Xiao Qingyun said in a cold voice, her tone firm.

"Xiao Shunzi, go over and check," Emperor snorted coldly, a sneer appearing on his face.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Xiao Shunzi replied hastily.

Then, Xiao Shunzi walked quickly to stand in front of Yang Lingchen.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen's heart tightened; he hurriedly activated the Shrinking Yang Technique, instantly retracting his vital parts into his body.

Xiao Shunzi unceremoniously grabbed towards Yang Lingchen's lower regions, but to his surprise, he didn't grab anything at all.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, he is indeed a eunuch," Xiao Shunzi said hurriedly.

At this moment, Emperor couldn't help but frown. He had always been very confident in his intuition; just now, his intuition clearly told him that Yang Lingchen did not look like a eunuch at all.

"Everyone, leave! I have important matters to discuss with the Empress," Emperor said.

"Yes, Your Majesty," everyone replied one after another and then retreated.

Yang Lingchen also followed the others and retreated. The situation just now was truly thrilling; fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise, his cover would have been completely blown.

Not long after Yang Lingchen retreated, a burst of intense fighting sounds suddenly came from behind.

Yang Lingchen hurriedly walked over to check and saw Xiao Qingyun and Emperor fighting fiercely together.

At the same time, the servant girl suddenly burst into action, waving the sword in her hand and slitting Xiao Shunzi's throat with a single strike.

"Emperor, what kind of thing are you? You actually want to plot against this Saintess," Xiao Qingyun said with a cold expression and an angry voice.

"bitch, today I will definitely have you," Emperor said in a gloomy voice, his eyes full of ferocity.

"Emperor, you are courting death."

Xiao Qingyun's face was full of anger, and at the same time, she violently swung the battle sword in her hand, hacking fiercely towards Emperor.

Facing Xiao Qingyun's sharp attack, Emperor dared not be the slightest bit careless and also waved his long sword to meet her.

"Motherfucker, this time I finally caught an opportunity!" Yang Lingchen cursed silently in his heart and then quietly lurked over.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of moves passed. Xiao Qingyun's Aura became more courageous as she fought, and a powerful Aura emanated from her body, while Emperor became more and more alarmed as he fought. He really couldn't understand why Xiao Qingyun's cultivation level had improved so quickly.

"Swish..."

Just at this moment, Xiao Qingyun seized an excellent opportunity, and a sharp Sword Qi instantly pierced through Emperor's chest.

"Swish... Swish..."

Xiao Qingyun quickly swung two more swords, slitting Emperor's throat on the spot.

And before dying, Emperor tried his best to strike out with a palm, and the powerful force instantly sent Xiao Qingyun flying backward.

Seeing Xiao Qingyun injured, Yang Lingchen, carrying the immortal demon sword, rushed towards Xiao Qingyun without hesitation.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime, excellent opportunity. As long as he killed Xiao Qingyun, no one in the entire Northern Profound Empire would be able to threaten him again.

Just as Yang Lingchen was about to rush to Xiao Qingyun, her eyes grew cold, and she shouted in a cold voice: "Xiao Chenzi, what are you trying to do?"

"Ahem... it's a misunderstanding, Empress, it's a misunderstanding! I came to help you; I didn't expect you to be so blessed and resolve it so quickly," Yang Lingchen coughed lightly, hurriedly put away the immortal demon sword, and his face was full of ingratiating smiles.

Just at the moment he approached, he keenly sensed that Xiao Qingyun didn't seem to be seriously injured, so he wisely chose to stop.

"Don't think I don't know about your little schemes. If it weren't for the fact that you are still of some use to me, I would have sent you to Zhou Yuxin long ago," Xiao Qingyun said with a cold expression, her tone full of threats.

"Empress, you must have misunderstood. I am loyal to you!" Yang Lingchen said hurriedly, bowing, his face full of sycophancy.

"From today on, you will call this Saintess Master!" Xiao Qingyun said with a cold expression.

"Yes, Mas... ter," Yang Lingchen said, bowing.

"Slap...!" Xiao Qingyun slapped him without hesitation and said angrily: "Do you believe I will tear your mouth apart?"

"Master, you misunderstood; I was just using my hometown dialect," Yang Lingchen hurriedly explained, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

"The servant girl, go and eliminate everyone in the Northern Profound Empire who is at the fourth level of the Gui Xuan Realm or above for this Saintess," Xiao Qingyun said with a cold expression, her tone devoid of any emotion.

"Yes, Saintess," the servant girl replied and quickly retreated.

"Xiao Chenzi, now that the Northern Profound Empire no longer poses a threat to Heavenly Origin Palace, you will accompany this Saintess to the Wuji Holy Land tomorrow!" Xiao Qingyun's voice carried a trace of firm will that allowed no rebuttal.

"Can I not go?" Yang Lingchen said weakly; he really didn't want to go to any Holy Land.

"Of course you can," Xiao Qingyun said with a sneer.

"Really?" Yang Lingchen's eyes lit up, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

"Of course it's true, but before leaving, this Saintess will cripple your cultivation level, and then send you to Zhou Yuxin," Xiao Qingyun said with a sneer, her eyes full of mockery.

"Master, I have thought about it repeatedly. If you go to the Wuji Holy Land and there is no one to serve you, I definitely wouldn't be at ease, so you should take me with you!" Yang Lingchen said sheepishly, his face full of ingratiating smiles.

"Don't you feel reluctant?" Xiao Qingyun asked with a smile, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Of course not."

Yang Lingchen then added: "Master, before we leave, can you let me return to Heavenly Origin Palace once?"

"Fuck your mother, stinky woman. I've let you play with me for so long for free, and you actually want to pack me up and take me away. You just wait," Yang Lingchen cursed silently in his heart.

"Do you miss Dongfang Yunbing?" Xiao Qingyun said coldly, her eyes carrying a trace of mockery.

"Yes," Yang Lingchen said. During this time, he really missed Dongfang Yunbing and Nangong Yan.

"Tomorrow, this Saintess will give you one day to properly say goodbye to them," Xiao Qingyun said.

"Thank you, Master," Yang Lingchen said.

"No need to thank this Saintess, because this will be your last chance to meet. Treasure it well!" Xiao Qingyun's mouth curled with a trace of coldness, her eyes full of ruthlessness.

Just then, the servant girl, smelling of blood, walked over.

"How did things go?" Xiao Qingyun asked.

"Reporting to the Saintess, everyone in the Northern Profound Empire above the fourth level of the Gui Xuan Realm has been executed," the servant girl said expressionlessly.

"Very good. Go and prepare; we will leave tomorrow morning," Xiao Qingyun said.

"Yes, Saintess," the servant girl replied and retreated.

"Xiao Chenzi, come with me to the national treasury," Xiao Qingyun said indifferently.

"Yes, Master," Yang Lingchen said.

Led by Xiao Qingyun, the two arrived at the Northern Profound Empire's national treasury.

Now that Emperor was dead, the entire Northern Profound Empire was under Xiao Qingyun's control. Even if she emptied the national treasury, no one would dare to say a word.

Looking at the dense, dazzling array of treasures in the national treasury, Yang Lingchen was secretly shocked. It was worthy of being an Empire's national treasury; indeed, there were many treasures.

Xiao Qingyun casually selected a few extremely precious medicinal herbs in the national treasury and turned to Yang Lingchen: "Take whatever you like. As long as you follow this Saintess well, this Saintess will not treat you unfairly."

"Then I will really take it!" Yang Lingchen asked, a trace of surprise appearing on his face.

"Take whatever you want, we are leaving tomorrow anyway," Xiao Qingyun said indifferently.

"Thank you, Master."

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he unceremoniously began to sweep through the national treasury crazily. Whether it was precious Spirit Stones or rare Cultivation Techniques and medicinal herbs, he moved them all into the haotian jade space.

The next morning.

Yang Lingchen followed Xiao Qingyun and the servant girl and boarded that extremely luxurious flying boat again.

The flying boat sped all the way, flying towards the direction of Heavenly Origin Palace.

Heavenly Origin Palace, entrance of the Palace Master Hall.

An extremely luxurious and magnificent flying boat landed steadily right at the entrance of the Palace Master Hall.

"Xiao Chenzi, this Saintess will give you one day. If you dare to run away, this Saintess will destroy the entire Heavenly Origin Palace."

Xiao Qingyun's voice was extremely cold, and her eyes revealed a trace of warning, making people shudder.

"Rest assured, Saintess, it is my blessing to be by your side. How could I run?" Yang Lingchen hurriedly promised, his face full of ingratiating smiles.

"Go! This Saintess will wait for you in the flying boat. If I don't see you at this time tomorrow, don't blame this Saintess for starting a massacre," Xiao Qingyun said in a cold voice, her tone full of threats.

"Yes." Yang Lingchen nodded and then walked off the flying boat.

"Chener."

As soon as Yang Lingchen got off the flying boat, Dongfang Yunbing rushed over impatiently, hugged him tightly, and tears sparkled in her eyes.

During the time Xiao Ruochen was away, Dongfang Yunbing had been missing him very much; she hadn't stopped for a single moment.

"Sister Bing, I've made you worry. Let's go back first! I have things to say to you and Yan Yan."

Yang Lingchen's expression was solemn. After saying this, he took Dongfang Yunbing's hand and walked quickly towards Green Cloud Pavilion.

Green Cloud Pavilion.

"Yang Lingchen, you are finally back. I missed you so much!"

Seeing Yang Lingchen return, Nangong Yan's beautiful eyes were slightly moist, her face was full of aggrieved expressions, and her voice carried a trace of crying.

"Yan Yan, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer."

Yang Lingchen pulled Nangong Yan into his arms, his face full of guilt, and his heart filled with self-reproach.

Yang Lingchen felt very guilty towards Dongfang Yunbing and Nangong Yan.

Especially Nangong Yan; ever since he brought her here, he hadn't really spent much time with her.

Now he was about to be taken to the Holy Land by Xiao Qingyun again; heaven knows when he would be able to come back.
