Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 379
Daoist Lingxu never expected to receive a plea for help from the Crown Prince at this moment. What kind of quarrel requires her to mediate?
Previously, she had heard about the severe condition of the Crown Prince’s illness, yet she never received this scroll. She had thought the Crown Prince had forgotten about it, and she often sighed in resignation over the lack of fate. Who would have thought she would now be asked to save someone?
Noticing the extremely respectful Yan Luan bowing her head and silently waiting, Daoist Lingxu couldn’t help but ask, "Are you really acting on the Crown Prince’s orders? This isn’t a stolen scroll, is it?"
"I wouldn’t dare steal anything from His Highness, the Crown Prince!" Yan Luan couldn’t help but lift her head, tears brimming in her eyes, feeling greatly aggrieved. Unknowingly, her charm came through.
Daoist Lingxu sighed, "Truly befitting the royal family, even your kin... enough, I’ll go then."
Almost all the furnishings and furniture in the Yangxin Hall were in tatters, except for the emperor, who lay half-dead on the intact bed.
The emperor had somewhat the Heavenly Dao’s presence as well. Now that his time had not yet come, none of the cultivators present had the mindset to kill the emperor and take the throne. No one wanted to be the cause of the emperor’s death.
What if today the emperor was not supposed to meet his end, and they somehow snapped his life away? During the next tribulation for advancement, it would be like what happened to Chen Muxue at the inn before, where the Heavenly Dao added a little something to the tribulation clouds just for making an elixir?
Thinking of this, Cen Lizhui once again cast a suspicious glance at Chen Muxue.
Right, why would the Heavenly Dao target this person? Could it be related to the strange behavior this person is exhibiting now?
Chen Muxue paid no attention to the other people present. She proceeded on her own to manipulate the Black Qi, which directly entered the body of Yu Yan’s corpse. Soon, a primordial soul, almost a miniature version of Yu Yan, was lifted by the Black Qi.
In the Void Refinement Realm, one’s nascent soul is refined into a primordial soul, which perfectly reflected the state of the person—completely dead.
Just as the silent crowd was expecting Chen Muxue to absorb the primordial soul, she was carefully manipulating something else. Several strands of black spiritual energy, different from the Black Qi she released, followed the Black Qi and slowly climbed up her body.
To distinguish between the two types of black spiritual energy, one could say Chen Muxue’s Black Qi was pure black, like a deep abyss one could easily fall into. In contrast, the Black Qi stripped from Yu Yan’s primordial soul was a colorful black.
"Is that the so-called dragon energy of the Black Dragon Night Brilliance that the eunuch mentioned?" Lin Qing whispered.
Chu Wuyi nodded slightly, whispering back, "I think it might be. This Miss Chen seems so powerful that she’s only concerned with the dragon energy now."
Cen Lizhui: "Why are you whispering?" After saying this, he even cautiously stepped back two paces to maintain distance from them.
Lin Qing and Chu Wuyi simultaneously used their eyes to convey: Are you not afraid of the current Chen Muxue?
As soon as Daoist Lingxu arrived, she saw Chen Muxue enveloped by Black Qi, exuding an aura of demonic evil all over. She immediately exclaimed, "Bold demon, how dare you cause trouble in the Imperial Palace!"
Yan Luan, who had come along with Daoist Lingxu, quickly intervened upon seeing Chen Muxue, "Daoist, she’s the person we’re supposed to save!"
Daoist Lingxu furrowed her brows, "How is that possible?! You would have me save a demon?! Let alone me, any cultivator who sees such a demon would never let them go easily!"
