Chapter 600: Chapter 600

Beneath the sky, a pin drop could be heard!

The Lord of Reincarnation’s usually arrogant and indifferent face was filled with astonishment, even disbelief.

As the aggregate of all living beings, the Heavenly Dao’s combat power far exceeded people’s imagination.

Even the Forbidden Zone Lords, who controlled the forbidden rules, held a deep reverence for the Heavenly Dao. After all, their very existence was a result of the Heavenly Dao’s creation.

Because of this, even when someone in the Nine Provinces transcended, they only felt a sense of crisis, not to the point of panicking.

In her eyes, a so-called Transcendence Realm expert, who had broken free from the shackles of heaven and earth, was insignificant before the lofty Heavenly Dao.

Destiny was being shielded, and the Heavenly Dao couldn’t descend!

She wasn’t unfamiliar with the Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect. On the contrary, compared to the other great powers of the Nine Provinces, she had interacted with her the most.

In the past, whenever a dynasty in the Eastern Continent fell, a certain woman was always there to witness it.

However, the Lord of Reincarnation had never seen this woman interfere in any disputes, even remaining a cold observer during a dynasty’s collapse.

The Lord of Reincarnation’s gaze pierced through a thousand mountains, as if reaching a certain peak in the Two Polarities Sect, her eyes fixed on those pale golden pupils.

Majestic, ancient, and serene, as if untainted by any impurities.

“Three times the Path to Immortality has appeared. With Sect Master Shang’s abilities, ascending to the Heavenly Court shouldn’t be difficult, right? What is your purpose in remaining in the Nine Provinces?”

“I have no interest in ascending. I simply enjoy observing the myriad states of the mortal world, admiring the passage of time, the rise and fall of dynasties.”

“Watching dynasties fall, and the Eastern Continent’s luck, which gave birth to you, decline, don’t you feel sad, Sect Master?”

“Does Sect Master dare to swear on it?”

“There’s no need. Like you, I also hope for a dynastic change, but I have no interest in the national fortune either, so rest assured.”

“Sect Master Shang is truly interesting. Not for immortality, not for national fortune, and not even intending to submit to the Heavenly Dao. Then what exactly do you want, Sect Master Shang? Transcendence? Or to become the god of the Nine Provinces, replacing the Heavenly Dao?”

A hint of a smile appeared in her pale golden eyes. She sat in the snow-covered courtyard, her magnificent black robe fluttering in the winter wind, quietly gazing in the direction of Tianxuan City.

The heavy snow fell with the cold wind, painting the entire world in silver. Snow piled up on the peach blossom trees in the courtyard, and with a gust of wind, the snow-laden branches bent, shaking off the snow.

She quietly gazed in the direction of Tianxuan City and whispered, “I just hope time passes quickly.”

In a daze, the Lord of Reincarnation snapped out of her memories. She looked up at Shang Yanfei and said, “You never interfered in the past whenever a dynasty fell, why are you stopping us this time?”

In the past, the Forbidden Zone Lords had suspected Shang Yanfei had ulterior motives, but this suspicion dissipated with each dynastic collapse.

She didn’t ascend when the Path to Immortality appeared, nor did she compete for the national fortune after a dynasty’s fall. Even when the Heavenly Dao descended upon the Nine Provinces several times, she showed no reaction, as if, just as she said, she was simply observing the world, a ‘spectator’.

Back then, her teacher, the previous Lord of Reincarnation, had even speculated that Shang Yanfei might be the mysterious expert who repeatedly suppressed the Forbidden Lands, preventing them from spreading their forbidden rules.

But later, it was confirmed that Shang Yanfei’s aura was completely different from that mysterious expert’s.

“I just don’t want the referee to enter the game midway.”

Shang Yanfei unhurriedly picked up the hot tea on the table, gently blowing on it, and said as if talking to herself, “In the past, when dynasties fell, when did you ever summon the Heavenly Dao midway? That’s against the rules.”

The Lord of Reincarnation raised a delicate eyebrow.

This woman is talking about rules with the Forbidden Lands?

As the first Forbidden Land born in the Nine Provinces, they had once ruled the entire Nine Provinces.

Did they need to follow anyone’s rules?

Ultimately, even the rules were set by the Heavenly Dao, so why should they abide by them?

The so-called rules were just shackles to bind all living beings.

But they, these forbidden gods, never needed to follow the rules.

“What exactly does she want…?”

The Lord of Reincarnation stared intently at Shang Yanfei’s pale golden eyes, her mind racing.

“Have you finished chatting with that woman? If not, I can send you over to continue your chat.”

A silver-bell-like laughter echoed through the world, filled with captivating charm.

The Demon Empress stepped out of the void, each step causing ripples in space, a touch of crimson at the corner of her eye adding to her allure.

Beside her, a beautiful and dangerous World Serpent silently coiled, her long fingers gently stroking it. Then, she said softly, “No need for survivors, kill them all.”

“And remember to erase her memory.”

If a clone’s spiritual sense’s memory was erased, the main body wouldn’t know what happened to the clone.

Of course, this method of erasing memories wasn’t completely foolproof; the person could still recall parts of the memory.

The Lord of Reincarnation’s eyes darkened slightly, and she said coldly, “You will regret this.”

Offending both the Immortal Forbidden Land and the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation, even if the Demon Realm was powerful, did she really think she could withstand the wrath of two Forbidden Lands at the same time?

The Demon Empress said casually, “If possible, this Seat doesn’t want to offend the Forbidden Lands either…”

It was a bit too late to back down now.

The Lord of Reincarnation sneered, but saw the Demon Empress’s expression suddenly turn cold, “But even if I do offend them, so what?”

The World Serpent opened its massive jaws, about to swallow the Lord of Reincarnation.

The Demon Empress never cared about offending others.

From the moment the Forbidden Lands targeted Mu Zhian, it was a battle to the death.

The Lord of Reincarnation didn’t react, just stared intently at the Demon Empress’s seductive eyes, then watched as the World Serpent swallowed her.

The entire space seemed to distort slightly.

However, the Demon Empress didn’t relax, but as if sensing something, she casually narrowed her eyes.

The Lord of Reincarnation, who had just been swallowed by the World Serpent, reappeared before her, completely unharmed. A multi-faceted crystal cube, shimmering with a captivating light, had appeared in her palm at some point.

“The forbidden object of the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation?” the Demon Empress murmured softly.

It seemed the Lord of Reincarnation had used this forbidden object to set a condition: if the Demon Empress attacks the Lord of Reincarnation, everything will restart.

“If this Seat truly doesn’t want to die, none of you can kill my clone,” the Lord of Reincarnation said with a chuckle. She had used the forbidden object of the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation to directly rewrite her death.

Although the death of a clone would… but what was more important now was to transmit this memory to her main body without any loss.

The Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect wasn’t neutral. Shang Yanfei… was also on Mu Zhian’s side!

Yao Meng casually narrowed her eyes, staring at the forbidden object of the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation.

This thing was truly troublesome… With it, even sealing the Lord of Reincarnation’s cauldron would be useless.

“Since the three of you have no intention of attacking, then this Seat will take my leave,” the Lord of Reincarnation said. Seeing this, she decisively turned and transformed into a streak of light, intending to leave.

However, the moment she turned, the Lord of Reincarnation’s body stiffened slightly.

Then, as if under some unseen control, she subconsciously raised her hand and dispelled the blessing of the forbidden object of the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation!

No, it wasn’t her who dispelled it, but she was being controlled!

The Lord of Reincarnation, as if sensing something, her face turned sinister. She abruptly turned to look at the silver-haired little girl who had been watching the show all along.

“Mu Zhi, whose side are you on?!”

Mu Zhi toyed with the black notebook in her hand, raised her crystal-clear red eyes, a hint of childlike innocence in them, and said with a faint smile, “Don’t be angry, Big Sister, I’m doing this for your own good. Even with the forbidden object, you can’t leave the Great Qian Dynasty.”

“If you stay here for too long, you might not have a home to go back to.”

The Lord of Reincarnation was stunned, clearly not understanding Mu Zhi’s meaning.

“Your main body is currently in slumber, right?”

Mu Zhi tilted her head slightly and said again, “Do you want to sense what’s happening in the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation right now?”

The Lord of Reincarnation closed her eyes skeptically, then abruptly opened them. For the first time, her expression changed, her gaze fixed on the Western Regions.

She could sense that her teacher had actually returned!

And… he even brought a strange woman with him.

“Understand now? Only by dying can you quickly go and deal with the first Lord of Reincarnation. I’m doing this for your own good, Big Sister.”

Mu Zhi, in her black dress, leaned against the void, casually toying with a strand of hair, the forbidden object of the Forbidden Land of Life floating before her.

She glanced at the Lord of Reincarnation, then picked up her pen again and wrote a sentence in her notebook.

“Mu Zhi, we’re both from the Forbidden Lands, yet you chose to stand against the Heavenly Dao… You will regret this!”

The Lord of Reincarnation’s face darkened. Even a fool could see that Mu Zhi had been acting all along. She had been on Mu Zhian’s side from the very beginning.

Mu Zhi’s initial suggestion, to have them attack the woman beside Mu Zhian, was also a trap to lure them in.

Even the Forbidden Zone Lords couldn’t have imagined that the master of the Forbidden Land of Life, one of their own, would betray them and even become Mu Zhian’s person.

But it was too late to realize this now.

A spray of blood erupted from the Lord of Reincarnation’s chest, beautiful and alluring, and the forbidden object in her hand fell.

Mu Zhi reached out and caught the polygonal, crystal-like forbidden object of the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation.

“So much nonsense, who are you trying to scare,” she murmured to herself, then put the forbidden object into her storage ring.

“You must be wondering why I’m helping him, right?”

The gloomy clouds in the sky were gradually dissipating. After watching the Lord of Reincarnation’s clone vanish, Mu Zhi quickly noticed the gazes of the Demon Empress and the others not far away, and looked at them with a smile.

“This Seat isn’t interested in your affairs,” the Demon Empress said faintly.

In the Demon Empress’s opinion, the master of the Forbidden Land of Life was helping Mu Zhian simply because she had received some benefit from him.

In this world, she wasn’t interested in anything besides Mu Zhian.

Come to think of it, he should be almost done with his business.

With the Heavenly Dao’s will’s assistance, the Demon Empress naturally wasn’t worried about any mishaps on Mu Zhian’s side, unless the Heavenly Dao itself manifested.

But in the current Nine Provinces, with destiny shielded, there was no possibility of the Heavenly Dao descending.

“The Demon Empress seems to be in quite a hurry. Surely you’re not rushing back?”

Seeing the Demon Empress about to leave, a faint smile appeared on Mu Zhi’s cute little face, “Are you planning to go find Mu’er?”

She deliberately emphasized the name ‘Mu’er’, expressing her unique relationship with him.

And this address not only caught the Demon Empress’s attention, but also Gong Lianyue’s.

“It seems the master of the Forbidden Land of Life has a good relationship with my Mu Lang. Ruoxi would like to thank the master of the Forbidden Land of Life for your help this time.”

Just then, a cool and delicate voice sounded. The black and white interwoven dress gradually turned into a white palace gown, the ample bosom straining against the fabric, clearly indicating the speaker’s identity.

“Bai Ruoxi…? I heard he actively pursued you in the past, and you later became Dao Companions.”

Mu Zhi said with a smile, “But if I remember correctly, you had ulterior motives when you first approached him, right?”

Bai Ruoxi was slightly stunned. Mu Zhi’s words brought back some distant memories, her expression turning somewhat strange.

Mu Zhi then glanced disdainfully at Yao Meng, who stood in the sky like a fairy from the Moon Palace, and said, “And the Jade Empress, needless to say, you approached him for his Innate Celestial Furnace. Your feelings only developed later, didn’t they?”

“As for the Demon Empress… I heard from him that you were his Dao Companion in a past life?”

The Demon Empress looked at Mu Zhi and smiled seductively, “This Seat was indeed his Dao Companion in a past life.”

However, hearing this, Mu Zhi said with a faint smile, “But I heard you almost killed him in Tianxuan City back then? Is that what a past life Dao Companion should do?”

If Mu Zhian were here, he would be greatly surprised. Just a few days ago, when he went to the Forbidden Land of Life, Mu Zhi didn’t know these things, yet in such a short time, she had already thoroughly investigated what happened in Tianxuan City.

These few simple words made a dangerous glint appear in the Demon Empress’s eyes, and she said slowly, “I’ve heard that the Forbidden Land of Life’s spies are all over the Nine Provinces. It seems my Demon Realm has also been infiltrated.”

Only a few high-ranking officials in the Demon Realm knew about her descending upon Tianxuan City. Mu Zhi knowing about this unknown past clearly meant she had her own spies in the Demon Realm.

This silver-haired little girl looked innocent and naive, but if one let down their guard around her, they might be devoured without even knowing it.

“Not just the Demon Realm,” Mu Zhi toyed with a strand of hair and looked at Yao Meng and Bai Ruoxi with a meaningful smile.

“If possible, I hope you three can stay away from my man in the future.”

The master of the Forbidden Land of Life choosing to expose their dark histories at this moment was clearly a show of force.

However, she had clearly chosen the wrong targets.

“Are you threatening me?” the Demon Empress narrowed her eyes and asked softly.

“Not just you,” Mu Zhi said with a faint smile, “All of you.”

Threatening the Sword Palace, the Jade Pool Holy Land, and the Demon Realm simultaneously, if this news were to spread, people would think the master of the Forbidden Land of Life had gone mad.

However, Mu Zhi was confident.

The one appearing here was just a clone, her true body was still within the Forbidden Land of Life.

As long as she was in the Forbidden Land of Life, she was invincible. Google seaʀᴄh novel⟡fire.net

A dangerous glint appeared in the Demon Empress’s eyes.

And Yao Meng remained standing silently in mid-air, a charming smile on her face as she looked at the master of the Forbidden Land of Life.

Bai Ruoxi lowered her eyelids slightly, her gentle eyes somewhat dim.

Just because she had spies all over the Nine Provinces, she dared to provoke three Transcendence Realm experts and expose their dark histories… This wasn’t a wise move.

Soon, Bai Ruoxi looked up, her gentle eyes gazing at her, and asked softly, “Judging by Senior’s tone just now, your relationship with Mu Lang seems quite unusual?”

Mu Zhi toyed with the forbidden object in her hand and said casually, “More than just unusual. We were engaged since childhood, so he’s my fiancé.”

“Helping my fiancé, naturally, needs no reason.”

“Jade Empress Sister, you should know about this, right?” she said, looking at the silent Yao Meng with a smile.

The Demon Empress and Bai Ruoxi’s gazes both instinctively turned to Yao Meng.

Then, under Mu Zhi’s gaze, a charming smile appeared on Yao Meng’s face. She didn’t answer, but instead casually brought up a seemingly irrelevant topic:

“Come to think of it, the Great Qian Dynasty should be in the midst of a power struggle now.”

“After that, any emperor who ascends the throne can temporarily stabilize the situation… Of course, if it’s Princess Yongning, my husband would be even more pleased.”

Mu Zhi’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, a bad feeling suddenly arising in her heart, “What are you trying to say?”

“I came to the Great Qian Dynasty this time to help him stabilize the situation, and now I have.”

Yao Meng paused slightly, then continued, “Mu Zhi, you’re so brazen because you know that even if I attack, I can only destroy your clone, so you don’t care, right?”

Mu Zhi smiled noncommittally.

Just then, Yao Meng casually continued, “Since you’ve investigated our past, you should know my personality and hobbies, right?”

Suddenly, a World-Purifying Green Lotus appeared beneath Mu Zhi’s feet!

Not expecting Yao Meng to attack so decisively, Mu Zhi’s expression changed slightly. She was about to summon her forbidden object.

“Since you’re my husband’s fiancée, we’re all sisters. Don’t use such dangerous things, lest we hurt each other’s feelings~”

Just then, a sweet and seductive voice echoed in her ears, making Mu Zhi’s mind slightly hazy. By the time she came to her senses, the Demon Empress had already gracefully appeared behind her, restraining her with her snake tail.

At the same time, the Heart-Binding Lock silently shot out from Bai Ruoxi’s sleeve, flying towards Mu Zhi.

They weren’t trying to kill her… Realizing this, Mu Zhi sensed a hint of danger, her crisp voice changing for the first time, “You… what are you trying to do?!”

The Demon Empress looked at the silver-haired girl so close at hand and said with a smile, “You know, ever since learning about the Jade Empress’s past actions towards my husband, I’ve become interested in something.”

Her appearance suddenly changed from the seductive Demon Empress to an adorable silver-haired girl, her black dress fluttering in the cold wind, a frail beauty.

The Demon Empress, now looking like ‘Mu Zhi’, smiled and gently caressed the master of the Forbidden Land of Life’s cute little face, and said softly, “I wonder what your reaction will be when you see your fiancé being suppressed by this Seat?”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

She said with a smile, “My dear… fiancée~”
