Chapter 1759: Battle With the Scarlet Emperor
After Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Chi Biaonu finished speaking, they flew toward the center of the lake.
After a while, Chi Biaonu sighed softly and said, “I have been facing the sun all my life. I’m as glorious as fire, but I gave birth to a daughter who likes ice. I don’t know if it’s karma…”
“You have the answer to that,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin said.
“...”
Chi Biaonu no longer spoke.
When they arrived, Mings.h.i.+ Yin knocked on the ice and called out, “Princess Mulberry?”
There was no response as though there was no one inside. There was no heat, no breath, and no heartbeat.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin turned to Chi Biaonu and asked, “Is she inside?”
Chi Biaonu nodded.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin asked, “People say that Princess Mulberry is one of the ten zombie kings. Is that true?”
It was hard to imagine that such a beautiful girl with a personality was a zombie.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin was like his master when they first met Princess Mulberry. They could not see the characteristics of zombies on her at all.
Chi Biaonu said in a low voice, “That’s just a lie to deceive people. Only this way will people be afraid of her. It’s safer for her to stay here than up in the sky.”
“You could’ve kept her by your side. Why did you let her stay alone?” Mings.h.i.+ Yin asked when he thought about how Princess Mulberry was just a child who needed the care and love of her parents. However, when she needed her parents the most, she was abandoned in a desolate place like the Unknown Land for tens of thousands of years. Anyone would have gone crazy because of that.
“You haven’t reached my position yet so it’s easy for you to judge my decision as despicable. To begin with, it was already difficult to save her life. Compared to Shang Zhang, isn’t my method better?”
“None of you are better than the other. You really know how to find a target to compare,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin said, feeling rather speechless.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin continued to knock on the ice, but there was still no response. After a while, he said in a hushed voice, “Stay here.”
Then, Mings.h.i.+ Yin flew up with a whoosh, arriving at the top of the ice barrier. Then, he shouted, “The sky is falling! Run! The sky is falling!”
After saying that, Mings.h.i.+ Yin unleashed hundreds of palm seals at the ice barrier, causing a huge commotion. It was very similar to the sounds of rocks being thrown at it.
Chi Biaonu looked at Mings.h.i.+ Yin speechlessly. He really could not do such a thing that would make him lose his dignity.
“Where? Where? Is it really falling?!”
Princess Mulberry’s beautiful figure appeared next to Mings.h.i.+ Yin as she looked to the left and right in panic.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin smiled and said, “h.e.l.lo, little girl.”
Princess Mulberry frowned and sized Mings.h.i.+ Yin up. Then, she asked, “You lied to me?”
“I didn’t lie to you. The sky will really fall, but not now,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin replied.
“Nonsense. I know that as well,” Princess Mulberry said.
“Is that why you condense the lake water into a towering icicle to pierce through the sky? That’s nonsense. Girl, even the pillar at the Great Abyss Land can’t hold on. Your icicle will be crushed into dust,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin said.
Upon hearing this, Princess Mulberry stammered, “W-who, who said that? I think it’s fine!”
“Don’t lie to yourself. If this thing can hold the sky up, the supreme beings in the Great Void would’ve already acted. When would it be your turn to act?” Mings.h.i.+ Yin asked.
“...”
Princess Mulberry lowered her head.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin did not expect her mood to change so quickly. He could not bear it so he said, “I didn’t mean to scare you. I just wanted to tell you that you can’t stay here anymore.”
Princess Mulberry raised her head and asked, “Who are you to tell me what to do? Do you think you can control me?”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin said, “Hey, don’t take my good intentions for granted. Don’t be so p.r.i.c.kly. At the very least, my master has met you a few times.”
“Your master?” Princess Mulberry looked at Mings.h.i.+ Yin blankly.
“He’s the expert who fought with the high priest from the Void Chest tribe at Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin explained.
“Him!” Princess Mulberry still remembered Lu Zhou. She had not met many people in the past. Moreover, Lu Zhou was very memorable. She smiled and asked, “Why didn’t he come? Tell me! Does he suddenly feel that the outside world is too annoying so he plans to be neighbors with me here?”
“...”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin shook his head speechlessly.
‘What’s going on in this girl’s head?’
“In truth, my master has been thinking about you, but he’s just too busy. Recently, the pillars have collapsed one after another, and Ji Ming’s pillar is next. That’s why I came to remind you to leave,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin said.
“I’m not leaving. It’s fine for me to stay here,” Princess Mulberry said despite the worried expression on her face. Suddenly, a bright smile appeared on her face as she asked, “Hey, why don’t you stay here and be my neighbor? Okay?”
“...”
‘The changes in her mood are too abrupt… It’s probably caused by long-time solitude…’
Mings.h.i.+ Yin said, “I still have matters to attend to. The sky is falling. How many people and fierce beasts will die in the Unknown Land? I have the important task of saving the living beings in the Unknown Land.”
Princess Mulberry giggled and pointed at Mings.h.i.+ Yin as she said, “You’re really interesting. Why don’t you stay? I’m really easy to get along with! Really!”
“...”
‘This girl is too stubborn to listen to me…’
Who knew if it was a coincidence, but at this time a loud boom rang from the direction of Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction. The sounds of cracking were thunderous, spreading in all directions.
Princess Mulberry shuddered. “The sky is about to collapse! I have to hide!”
“Wait!” Mings.h.i.+ Yin flashed over and used the power from the law to seal the entrance. Then, he pointed at Chi Biaonu, who was standing below, and said, “Look! Who’s that?”
Chi Biaonu tidied his clothes, cleared his throat, and slowly flew up.
Upon seeing Chi Biaonu, Princess Mulberry’s expression changed greatly. She frowned and said angrily, “Get lost!”
Boom!
The water splashed up, forming icicles that attacked Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Chi Biaonu.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Chi Biaonu’s protective energies easily deflected the icicles.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin said, “Don’t be so hasty to act! He’s just here to see you. He won’t say a word.”
“How’s this your business?!” Princess Mulberry asked indignantly.
“In any case, you can’t go back,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin said.
“I have to go back!” Princess Mulberry said. She called out softly before a white crane flew over from afar.
Then, the white crane attacked Mings.h.i.+ Yin.
How could Mings.h.i.+ Yin bear to act ruthlessly? He could only keep dodging the attacks. Fortunately, his cultivation was quite profound, and he dealt with the white crane easily. As he deflected and dodged the attacks, he said loudly, “Listen to me. I’m here to help you. The Scarlet Emperor, that bast*rd, did such a despicable thing! I’ll punish him for you!”
Princess Mulberry flashed back and stood near the icicle.
Meanwhile, Chi Biaonu looked at Mings.h.i.+ Yin in shock and anger. ‘Who is this bast*rd calling a bast*rd?!’
Mings.h.i.+ Yin continued to say, “I know you hate the Scarlet Emperor very much so let’s kill him.”
Princess Mulberry ignored Mings.h.i.+ Yin, thinking that his words were ridiculous. She turned and walked to the other side of the icicle as the white crane flew over.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin continued to say loudly, “Watch carefully! I’m going to kill the Scarlet Emperor now!”
Whoos.h.!.+
An energy seal flew out of Mings.h.i.+ Yin’s hand.
Chi Biaonu did not dodge. Moreover, he took the initiative to withdraw his protective energy.
Bang!
The energy seal landed on Chi Biaonu’s chest, causing his blood and qi to churn. The vitality energy coursed in reverse through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Blood rushed up his throat immediately.
‘This bast*rd really didn’t hold back at all!’
Mings.h.i.+ Yin wore a sheepish expression on his face.
‘We’re just acting. Who told you to withdraw your protective energy?’
Chi Biaonu slid back 300 feet before he came to a stop.
Princess Mulberry still did not look back.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin looked at his hand and said, “Scarlet Emperor, you’ve seen it. She doesn’t care at all.”
Chi Biaonu lowered his gaze and sighed heavily. ‘It’s karma…’
At this moment, a deep and majestic voice rang from the direction of Ji Ming’s Pillar of Destruction.
“Chi Biaonu, accept your death obediently and wash away your sins!”
The sonorous voice attracted Princess Mulberry’s attention. She looked over and saw a figure flying over at lightning speed.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin, Duanmu Sheng, and the Four Vajras were shocked.
Chi Biaonu looked up and saw a golden palm seal falling toward him.
Upon seeing the palm seal, Mings.h.i.+ Yin exclaimed in surprise, “Master?!”
The golden palm seal was filled with the divine Dao power. It locked down the s.p.a.ce below, making it impossible to teleport or freeze time.
When Mings.h.i.+ Yin attacked earlier, Chi Biaonu did not defend or dodge. However, he instinctively raised his hands to defend himself.
Boom!
The two forces collided. The collision between a supreme being and a divine emperor sent Mings.h.i.+ Yin flying.
Princess Mulberry flashed away and hid behind the icicle.
When the shockwave hit the icicle, it creaked and cracked slightly.
Princess Mulberry was shocked. ‘Just one strike, and the shockwave is so strong? Who is it?’
The Four Vajras thought that the other party might be an enemy so they flew over quickly.
When the dust settled, Chi Biaonu saw the person in front of him. He frowned and said, “It’s you?”
“Greetings, master,” Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Duanmu Sheng greeted Lu Zhou in unison.
Lu Zhou asked, “Why are you here instead of comprehending the Great Dao in the Great Void?”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin said with a smile, “Master, the Scarlet Emperor has matters to attend to. SO we can’t be ungrateful and leave him here.”
Lu Zhou looked at Chi Biaonu silently.
Chi Biaonu took the initiative to say, “I came here to take Princess Mulberry away but was delayed. In any case, I painstakingly nurtured Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Duanmu Sheng. Although you’re their master, I’m afraid you can’t make the decisions for them.”
Lu Zhou said disapprovingly, “You’re wrong. In this world, I’m the only one who can decide for them.”
“The sky is collapsing. I need to bring them back with me to the Great Void to stabilize the situation. If you insist on taking them away, I’m afraid the consequences will be unimaginable,” Chi Biaonu.
“What does the fall of the sky have to do with me? Moreover, the fall is inevitable,” Lu Zhou said.
Chi Biaonu frowned. “I don’t think so. The pillars are created by the heavens for a reason…”
Lu Zhou said in a low voice, “Ling Weiyang has already left the Great Void as soon as the commanders’ compet.i.tion ended. Bai Zhaoju has also returned to the Lost Kingdom. You’re the only one who remains stubborn.”
“Ling Weiyang ran away?” Chi Biaonu was surprised.
At this time, Princess Mulberry flew out from behind the icicle. She smiled and said, “So it’s you!”
Lu Zhou looked at Princess Mulberry. Her appearance did not change, and she was still as youthful as before. Based on her appearance and size, she seemed to be almost the same as Little Yuan’er. Time did not leave its traces on Princess Mulberry.
Lu Zhou asked, “Since you hate him so much, why don’t I kill him for you? What do you think?”
“Ah?” Princess Mulberry seemed taken aback by Lu Zhou’s proposal.
