#2297 - The New Emperor

Jun Wuxie and Chu Yudie walked out of the tomb chamber and arrived at the platform in front of the abyss.

A terrifying aura swept up from the abyss below.

The Reincarnation Undead appeared again.

Its enormous body rose from the depths of the abyss, its eyes fixed on them with a chilling gaze.

Chu Yudie took a step forward, and the entire area instantly froze over.

The laws of wind and snow intertwined, evolving into a secret technique diagram that appeared in the sky.

The Reincarnation Undead looked up, the soulfire in its eye sockets flickering.

It seemed to sense something, and the murderous aura on its body rapidly dissipated, its body retreating back into the abyss.

It came and went quickly, as if it had never appeared at all.

"It must have sensed the aura of the Sandman King's Dao Fruit."

Jun Wuxie walked to the center of the platform, examining the pattern on the ground.

The vortex passage on the opposite side of the abyss had long since disappeared.

Now, the key to getting out lies within the pattern beneath their feet.

On the surface, it looks like a pattern, but in reality, it is a dormant magic array.

Only by using this magic array can a passage for leaving be established.

Otherwise, they would have to forcibly destroy the tomb chamber's space.

He studied it for a while, found the rules, saw the key to it, and used the Primordial Symbol Dao, causing the pattern beneath his feet to light up.

Gradually, a spatial gate condensed in the middle of the pattern.

"There are people in the Great Desolate Desert."

Chu Yudie's eyes turned cold.

"It should be people from the Great Sun God Clan, two Supreme Limit Celestial Realm experts."

Jun Wuxie naturally sensed those two auras.

Chu Yudie took out a veil and put it on her face.

Subsequently, she and Jun Wuxie entered the spatial passage and instantly appeared on the surface of the desert.

Almost at the same time they appeared, the two Supreme experts from the Great Sun God Clan arrived.

When the spatial passage inside the ancient tomb connects with the outside world, special spatial fluctuations are generated.

The two Supreme experts from the Great Sun God Clan sensed it immediately and locked onto this location.

"You've finally appeared!"

The two Supreme experts hovered in the air, coldly looking down at Jun Wuxie and Chu Yudie.

They originally thought that their targets had used some secret technique to hide themselves.

Now it seems that there are secrets hidden beneath this desert.

These past few days, the targets have been inside a certain space beneath the desert.

"Are you his protector?"

The two Supreme experts sized up Chu Yudie.

Because Chu Yudie was wearing a veil and surrounded by the power of wind, they couldn't see her true face, or even her clothing, only knowing that she was a woman.

Chu Yudie didn't speak, only looked at the two of them indifferently.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the two Supreme experts from the Great Sun God Clan sneered.

"You killed our clan's Divine Son, you killed our clan's Grand Elder Wang.

This venerable one has guarded you here for several months, and today I will use your lives to offer a blood sacrifice to them!"

The two Supreme experts were incomparably powerful, with a high posture, like rulers.

One of them stretched out his palm, covering the sky, suppressing it from above, and said in a cold voice: "The Great Sun God Clan has only ever bullied others, no one dares to bully the Great Sun God Clan!"

Rumble!

The Great Sun True Qi was incomparably hot, burning the space until it collapsed.

The palm was like a burning great sun suppressing downwards, its power sweeping across the universe!

Jun Wuxie stood with one hand behind his back, without any defensive movements, only looking at the two of them calmly.

Chu Yudie was the same, letting the Great Sun Handprint press down.

Just as the Great Sun Handprint was about to fall ten meters above their heads.

A wisp of wind and snow law appeared on Chu Yudie's body, forming a wind and snow barrier, enveloping her and Jun Wuxie within it.

With a boom.

The Great Sun Palm landed on the wind and snow barrier, and a wisp of wind and snow power instantly rebounded.

The Great Sun Palm collapsed on the spot.

The power of wind and snow swept out, its killing power shocking the world, causing the faces of the two Supreme experts from the Great Sun God Clan to change drastically, their bodies turning ice-cold.

They realized something was wrong and retreated explosively, only to find that their bodies were imprisoned, unable to move at all.

The power of wind and snow swept past, blasting them away, forming two parabolic trajectories in the air, smashing into the sandy ground thousands of meters away, coughing up blood and breaking bones upon landing.

Chu Yudie and Jun Wuxie appeared in front of them as if by teleportation, looking down at the two Supreme experts lying on the ground.

"The power of wind and snow! You are an expert from the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom!"

"Your Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom dares to help this person kill important figures of our clan, are you trying to start a war with our Great Sun God Clan!"

They threatened, their voices sharp but weak.

They knew that the woman from the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom in front of them was a powerful cultivator, at least a Mixed Origin Divine Realm expert, otherwise, how could she have such strength?

However, was their Great Sun God Clan easy to provoke?

The Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom forcibly intervened in their personal grievances and even killed their people, this was breaking the rules!

"Start a war? Does your Great Sun God Clan deserve it?"

Chu Yudie's voice was icy cold, giving the two experts the feeling that their bodies were about to freeze.

They were terrified and angry in their hearts, "Arrogant! Our Great Sun God Clan is a top-tier force, how can you look down on us like this!

Although the Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom is powerful, it cannot ignore the rules and forcibly intervene in our personal grievances!

Why is your Wind and Snow Divine Kingdom helping this person kill our Grand Elder Wang?"

"How laughable, what are your Divine Son and your Grand Elder Wang?

They actually wanted to kill this Empress's husband, seeking their own death!"

The power of wind on Chu Yudie's body dissipated, revealing an ice-green palace dress.

She took off the veil on her face, revealing a world-shakingly beautiful face.

"Wind… Wind and Snow Empress!"

The two Grand Elder Wangs of the Great Sun God Clan saw her features clearly, and their faces turned ashen, their eyes filled with horror, their voices trembling, and they no longer had any confidence.

They simply couldn't believe that the Wind and Snow Empress had left the Wind and Snow Imperial Palace, left the Northern Region, and appeared here.

"So you are… you are Jun Wuxie!"

At this moment, they finally understood who the person who killed the Divine Son in the city was.

No wonder he dared to be so unscrupulous!

"You could say that, coincidentally, it is me."

Jun Wuxie dispersed the Eight Nine Mysterious Art, restoring his true figure and appearance, heroic and upright, handsome as jade, looking at them with a smile.

The two Grand Elder Wangs of the Great Sun God Clan had killing intent boiling in their hearts, but they forcibly restrained themselves.

"Respected Wind and Snow Empress, this matter is a misunderstanding.

We didn't know that the person who killed the Divine Son was your Emperor Consort, so the subsequent pursuits occurred.

Now that the truth is clear, we realize that the Empress's Emperor Consort would not kill people for no reason.

It must be that our Divine Son did something excessive, angering your Emperor Consort.

Although he is our Divine Son, we are very heartbroken about his death, but everything has a cause and effect, and we should be reasonable.

Now that our Divine Son and Grand Elder Wang are dead, it is the price that our Great Sun God Clan should pay.

We hope that the Wind and Snow Empress will show mercy and forgive our ignorance and offense to you, our Great Sun God Clan will be grateful, and we will never dare to target your Emperor Consort again."

"You cowardly bastards, what face do you have to talk about being reasonable?

If this Empress were not here today, if your strength were stronger, would you be reasonable?"

"Yes! Definitely! Our Great Sun God Clan is the most reasonable, we never use our power to oppress others, everything is just a misunderstanding, heaven and earth can be our witness, we hope that the Empress will see clearly!"

In order to survive, the two Supreme experts of the Great Sun God Clan had long since abandoned all shame.

What dignity, what reputation, what is more precious than life?

They didn't want to die, how difficult was it to cultivate to the Supreme Limit Celestial Realm?

Now this great era is the most suitable era for cultivation since ancient times, as long as they live, their realm can continue to break through.

With their aptitude, becoming a Heng God giant in the future is not a problem!

"So it's just a misunderstanding."

Chu Yudie waved her hand casually, and the power of wind and snow swept out, instantly turning the two Supreme experts into ice sculptures amid screams.

"Then let the misunderstanding continue to the end."

With a flick of her sleeve, the two ice sculptures shattered directly into dust.

Jun Wuxie didn't even have time to stop her, and his heart ached when he saw it.

"Jun God, what is that expression? Could it be that Yudie shouldn't have killed them?"

"Of course they should be killed, but you acted too quickly, at least wait for me to extract their ancient blood source before saying anything else.

The bloodlines of these two are barely acceptable, the ancient blood source is still useful."

Chu Yudie: …

"Yudie will remember, next time before killing, I will definitely ask Jun God first."

Speaking of this, Chu Yudie sighed and said: "These days, I have caused trouble for Jun God.

Since Jun God doesn't like Yudie following, Yudie will now bid farewell to Jun God, wishing Jun God to take care."

After Chu Yudie finished speaking, she disappeared.

Jun Wuxie immediately used the Minor Void Art to hide his figure and also left the Great Desolate Desert.

With the death of the two great Supreme experts of the Great Sun God Clan, the experts in their clan will soon learn the news and will definitely come looking.

This place is too dangerous, it is not suitable to stay.

He crossed the Great Desolate Mountain Range and entered the Gale Plains.

The edge of the Gale Plains happened to border the Misty Forest.

He observed near the Misty Forest for a while.

After staying in the ancient tomb for several months, the Misty Forest has changed a lot compared to the past.

However, it has still not reached the opening node. The forest's barrier has weakened a lot, but it is still impossible to enter.

"It is estimated that it will still take some time, I will go to the Sunset Dynasty to take a look first."

He moved away from the Misty Forest, crossed the Gale Plains, and entered the territory of the Sunset Dynasty.

Upon arriving in the Sunset Dynasty's territory, he heard many people talking about the new ruler of the dynasty.

Many things have happened in the past few months.

Among them was the Sunset Emperor announcing to the world that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince had fallen in the secret realm.

Soon after, Mu Lian Yue was made the heir apparent.

Two months ago, the Sunset Emperor suddenly announced his abdication, and the heir apparent, Mu Lian Yue, succeeded to the throne as the new Empress.

"This Emperor Twilight is even more impatient than I imagined, actually abdicating the throne so quickly," Jun Wuxie said, slightly surprised.

Perhaps the trip to the Snowdrift Divine Kingdom made Emperor Twilight feel the pressure.

In Snowdrift Divine City, seeing the prodigies from the starry sky, seeing that the experts of various forces were all at such high realms, made him feel a sense of urgency.

Many people in the Twilight Dynasty were talking about the various sweeping policy reforms after the Empress ascended the throne, praising them without exception.

From the information gleaned from people's discussions, it seemed that Lian Yue's reforms had begun to encounter great resistance, but she quickly resolved those obstacles, enabling the new policies to be smoothly implemented throughout the dynasty.

Most people were very satisfied, but there were also many who harbored resentment.

For example, some aristocratic disciples, in their conversations, were full of anger.

Obviously, the new policies benefited the masses but harmed the original interests of the aristocratic families.

For example, the reform of academies in various parts of the dynasty.

The dynasty originally had cultivation academies in every city, and now it has increased its investment even more.

In the past, aristocratic disciples in each city could enter the academy without examination, and because of the aristocratic label, they could enter the best cultivation hall upon entering the academy, enjoy the most qualified mentors imparting cultivation insights, profound cultivation methods, and have better resources supplied.

But now it is different, everyone needs to pass an examination to enter the academy.

Moreover, the examination for aristocratic families is stricter, the standards are higher, and the examination standards for students from ordinary families have been appropriately lowered.

New students entering the academy, there is no distinction between good and bad cultivation halls, everyone enjoys the same treatment.

The elite hall requires a unified assessment two years after enrollment, and the capable can enter.

Graduates of the academy can all enter the various departments of the dynasty or the army through assessment and screening.

In the past, these places were all firmly occupied by aristocratic families.

But now it is different, the number of places for aristocratic families has been limited, and more places have been given to non-aristocratic children.

Such a policy has been praised by the vast majority of people in the dynasty, allowing them to see hope.

Now, even commoners can produce talented individuals who can achieve class leaps through their own talent and hard work.

Jun Wuxie passed by many cities and learned a lot about the situation in the cities.

Almost every city's dignitaries and aristocratic families were moving frequently, gathering together from time to time to conspire.

Obviously, they were not willing to have the privileges they had enjoyed for generations suddenly deprived.

If this continues, the influence of these aristocratic families in the dynasty will only become lower and lower, which they cannot accept.

When aristocratic families in several cities conspired, they all mentioned one person.

Prince Yu.

It could be heard from their words.

These aristocratic families seemed to have confidence in Prince Yu, feeling that as long as they supported Prince Yu, they could change their situation in the future and regain their former privileges.

"How naive, if the Twilight royal family trusted Prince Yu, they would not have let Lian Yue ascend the throne.

These aristocratic families do not understand the internal situation of the royal family, thinking that Prince Yu can compete with the new emperor, and even may replace the new emperor in the future.

Why do they have such thoughts, and where did they get this wrong information?"

Jun Wuxie was a little puzzled in his heart.

On this day, he arrived at the Twilight Imperial City.

In the evening, he quietly sneaked into the palace.

There was not a single figure around the Empress's bedroom, no guards, and no hidden auras in the dark.

However, inside the Empress's bedroom, he sensed the aura of the Little World Tree.

It seemed that these days, the Little World Tree had been accompanying Lian Yue in the palace.

Jun Wuxie appeared silently in the Empress's bedroom, and saw the Little World Tree staring at him with beautiful and gentle eyes.

With the strength of the Little World Tree, she had long known that he was coming and was waiting for him to appear in the bedroom.

Just as the Little World Tree was about to speak, Jun Wuxie made a shushing gesture.

They walked to the dragon bed and sat down, and the Little World Tree quietly pointed to the screen in the distance, indicating that Lian Yue was bathing.

Before long, there was a rustling sound of dressing behind the screen.

Then, a bright figure walked out from behind the screen.

It was Mu Lian Yue who had finished bathing.

She was barefoot with crystal-like jade feet, wearing only a thin nightgown, droplets of water splashing between the movements of her wet long hair, and droplets of water also hanging on her creamy facial skin, her expression slightly lazy.

The moment she walked to the bed, she was stunned.

"Lord Jun, when did you come?"

Mu Lian Yue's face was full of surprise, and when she came back to her senses, she stepped forward quickly, her phoenix eyes sizing him up.

It had been some time since they last met, and Lord Jun looked even more heroic.

"I just arrived not long ago, you've been working hard these days."

"Not hard at all." Mu Lian Yue sat down beside him, a faint fragrance assailing him, causing Jun Wuxie to look at her and smile slightly.

Mu Lian Yue thought that she had just finished bathing and was wearing a little less, a blush appeared on her alluring face, but she did not put on an extra coat, only saying: "Where has Lord Jun been these days?"

Jun Wuxie briefly recounted his experiences over the past few months.

Mu Lian Yue and the Little World Tree could not help but reveal a strange look after hearing this.

"The Snowdrift Empress actually left the Northern Region and has been with Lord Jun?

Is she still unwilling to give up, and must become a nominal couple with Lord Jun."

Speaking of the Snowdrift Empress, Chu Yu Die, the Little World Tree's expression was slightly displeased.

There are many women around Lord Jun, but only this Chu Yu Die made her feel a little repulsed.

The other women never demand anything from Lord Jun.

This Chu Yu Die is demanding too much.

Lord Jun is as heavy as a mountain to the Snowdrift royal family, but instead of thinking about repaying him, she insists on binding Lord Jun with a relationship in name only.

To this day, even Yue Yao has not held a wedding with Lord Jun.

What makes Chu Yu Die think she deserves it?

"You seem to have some opinions about Chu Yu Die?"

Jun Wuxie could see that their expressions were not quite right, especially the Little World Tree.

"Anyway, we don't like her, Ci Yin doesn't like her either.

Aunt Jun doesn't like her very much either, feeling that Chu Yu Die is too cold and arrogant."

"Then let's not talk about Chu Yu Die anymore. Let's talk about the Twilight Dynasty."

Jun Wuxie didn't want to talk about Chu Yu Die anymore.

Wan and the others didn't like Chu Yu Die, which was within his expectations.
