Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 840 - 529: Marionette Drama (Part 2)

Hong Yuan sneered repeatedly.

His words were like knives, each stab hitting Bo Qing’s heart.

Originating from a demon cultivator had always been a taboo point for many Human Clan powerhouses regarding Bo Qing.

If it weren’t for the urgent situation and the enormous threat posed by the Demon Clan and even the World Devouring Demon Lord, the Human Clan powerhouses would never have allowed Bo Qing to enter the [List of Arrogant Talents].

At this moment, Hong Yuan’s merciless words directly revealed Bo Qing’s scars.

Causing Bai Qingxu, Shi Lingfang, Zhang Yinghe, and others to be momentarily stunned.

Buddy, are you only playing with reality?

Aren’t you afraid that Bo Qing will turn against you and not recognize anyone?

Bam——

As expected, Bo Qing stepped forward.

The Heavenly River Sword at his waist hummed, unleashing a torrential aura that changed the color of the world, with tempests roaring and thunder crashing.

"Sharp-tongued." Bo Qing’s gaze was icy; he pressed down with his large hand, curbing the bloodthirsty desire of the Heavenly River Sword.

Yet the initially awakened Heavenly River Sword stirred up a massive azure river, painting the sky into a sword domain, with a rich, cold light.

"A demon cultivator is a demon cultivator, never at peace." Hong Yuan snorted, and the Public Character Heavenly Book in his arms glowed fiercely.

Rivers of white light materialized out of thin air, encircling Hong Yuan, inscribed with various profound phoenix Tao Patterns, brimming with the power of an ultimate Treasure Skill.

Bam, bam, bam.

The powerful auras clashed, the azure river and the white light river eroded each other continuously.

Words were futile, and the auras pressed against each other.

Bo Qing and Hong Yuan were probing further, seemingly on the verge of an earth-shattering battle!

Even more alarming, their auras entangled and heightened, gradually surpassing the limits of Seventh-grade Saints, advancing towards the Eighth-grade.

In the deep space.

Mou Liang Great Saint observed everything happening on the plaza and sighed with regret:

"Alas, how great it would be if these two could unite."

"It’s just a pity that Bo Qing killed the Saint of Phoenix Creek Sect, and the previous Phoenix Creek Great Saint almost killed Bo Qing, this hurdle is certainly not easy to overcome..."

Meanwhile, the Five Great Academy Elders and other ancient powerhouses had their own stances.

Particularly the Human Clan powerhouses from the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent and Southern Border Divine Continent!

The Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent leaned towards Hong Yuan.

The Southern Border Divine Continent leaned towards Bo Qing.

"Heh, indeed, a demon cultivator is a demon cultivator, a dog can’t change its habit of eating s**t! They only know how to take shortcuts, taking risky actions, with no sense of the bigger picture. Hong Yuan, however, is reassuring, deserving to be the Human Tao Executor..."

"Who wasn’t rebellious when they were young? Who can guarantee they won’t make mistakes? Bo Qing was merely lost in his temperament, must you hold onto that..."

Where there are people, there’s intrigue.

While everyone genuinely wants the Human Race to prosper, how to achieve prosperity brings about significant rifts.

Without a strong and powerful leader, even if they fight side by side, internal friction would be severe!

The importance of unifying a single ideology is self-evident!!

At this moment, Flower Yingying appeared.

...

...

Drip...

Drip drop...

Drip drop drop...

Even if Bo Qing and Hong Yuan stirred up endless turmoil and erupted with boundless sounds.

But the ticking sound like water dripping through rock was still incredibly clear in everyone’s minds.

"In the end, still need the Empress to calm things down?" Mou Liang Great Saint stood on a white cloud, tightly pressed his lips, and remained silent.

It seems the Empress’s regard for Bo Qing and Hong Yuan is even greater than he imagined.

"This is the Empress..."

Ji Limin and Ye Zhuyin couldn’t help but feel worried about the developments to come.

Empress, will she not scold Qing/Yuan?

At the same time, when the Five Great Academy Elders and the ancient powerhouses of the Emperor Tao Heritage saw the Azure Lotus Empress Flower Yingying personally intervene to mediate, they were all dumbfounded.

They understood that Bo Qing and Hong Yuan’s status was very significant, much more than they expected.

It was just a small conflict; any Elder stepping in to calm things down would suffice. Why did the Azure Lotus Empress need to personally mediate?

"Alright, let’s all hold our hands; more important matters need addressing shortly."

Flower Yingying smiled, her voice serene, yet incredibly effective.

The azure river and white light river slowly dissipated, and the still-vibrant Heavenly River Sword and Public Character Heavenly Book fell silent.

Flower Yingying, with her graceful figure, peerless elegance, and dancing black hair, made her jade-like skin appear even whiter and more delicate.

Amidst the conversation, petals of light rain seemed to fall all around, and a fragrance immediately wafted through the air.

She bore the demeanor of a celestial maiden from the Ninth Heaven, unlike ordinary mortals!

Currently, she merely gazed at Bo Qing and Hong Yuan with smiling eyes, her demeanor seemingly gentle.

Yet everyone present knew well what kind of thunderous methods lay hidden beneath her gentle facade.

Should Bo Qing and Hong Yuan remain disobedient, she might have to employ some unnecessary measures.

"Greetings, Empress."

"Peace be with the Empress."

Bo Qing and Hong Yuan stowed away their arrogance, both cupping their hands in salute to the Azure Lotus Empress.

Immediately, they exchanged a glance, snorted disdainfully, and slowly retreated.

Such a scene truly caused many neutral human clan powerhouses, like Mou Liang Great Saint and others, to feel a headache.

How wonderful it would be if Bo Qing and Hong Yuan could work together cohesively~

However, they weren’t too anxious. They believed that under the threat of the Demon Clan, these two would eventually unite against the Demon Clan, becoming a bright banner!

...

"There are eighty-one saints listed on the [List of Arrogant Talents]!"

"In a sense, you were all born out of necessity, to assist the Heavenly Messenger, Shang Yaoqin, to fully emerge."

"This is a great opportunity and simultaneously a great crisis."

"..."

"Also, don’t think that entering the [List of Arrogant Talents] means you can rest easy."

"There are many, many saints eager to take your place, cultivate well..."

On the high platform.

Flower Yingying spoke each word clearly.

Each word she uttered brought forth waves of Tao sounds, filled the sky with floral fragrances, and resuscitated the Azure Lotus flowers, truly a sign of frequent auspices.

She declared that the current batch of saintly talents who arrived in the Zhao Heng Small World were receiving significant cultivation from the human clan.

The saintly talents could enjoy major resources, having access to various secret realms of the Human Clan Sky Palace, the human clan’s great academies, and the various Emperor Tao Heritages for cultivation.

This was indeed a major opportunity!

In the past, where was the convenience of open access between domains~

A saint from a modest background, if you dared harbor ill thoughts against an Emperor Scripture, then you awaited the pursuit of an Emperor lineage!

But now, to counter the Demon Clan, against the World Devouring Demon Lord, the human clan was indeed seeking change upon change.

From this aspect, one could see what enormous pressure the ’World Devouring Demon Lord’ Xuan Guangqiao placed on the human clan!

And now, it was the great opportunity for many human clan talents to comprehend the Zhao Heng Emperor Scripture.

Because the Zhao Heng Small World, rarely opened, was indeed accessible!

Thus, Zhang Yinghe, Bai Qingxu, Shi Lingfang, and the other talents began to take action, heading to the Zhao Heng Scripture Pavilion.

Meanwhile, Phoenix Creek’s Hong Yuan, with Ye Zhuyin, and Bo Qing, with Ji Limin, also began to make their moves.

"Bo Qing, Hong Yuan, who among you will first gain entry to the Zhao Heng Emperor Scripture?"

For some unknown reason, Flower Yingying suddenly felt such an anticipation.

From the progress of comprehending the Zhao Heng Emperor Scripture, one could undoubtedly see who between Hong Yuan and Bo Qing had greater aptitude and talent.

Not only was Flower Yingying anticipating, but the Five Great Academy Elders, various Emperor Tao Heritage patriarchs, and other masters were also anticipating.

Meanwhile, Zhao Heng Emperor’s Daughter, Li Ziping, glanced at the scene of numerous human clan talents taking action, yet merely curled her lips. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

She walked to the front of a human-shaped chair, lazily lay down, closed her eyes, her beautiful figure fully visible.

However, after a while, Li Ziping suddenly opened her eyes, gaze sharp as a knife, staring intently at the ragged, deranged monk Ai Qiu.

She rebuked harshly:

"Haven’t you ever seen a woman? Truly nauseating."

"You bald rascal, still having demonic nature, how filthy you are!"

"If you dare to sneak a lecherous peek again, generating those nauseating thoughts, see if I won’t skin you!"

Monk Ai Qiu placed his palms together, looked down at his feet, and his body radiated clear Buddhist light.

He said, "Amitabha, thus have I heard, beauty of the years is but worldly bones——"

He hadn’t finished his words when Li Ziping directly drew a black pistol from her waist, pointing the gaping muzzle at him.

A powerful light cannon instantly gathered, and with just one shot, it roared away, tearing through space with divine might overwhelming.

Rumble!

The sky crumbled, the earth shook.

The saints within Zhao Heng Small World looked seriously upon the sky, gazing at the unreachable places.

And Flower Yingying’s previously smiling face suddenly froze.

Visibly, Flower Yingying exuded an aura that warded off strangers, cold as ice...
