Chapter 33: The Women of That Demon Are Terrifying!:
"You... are also Wuhen's wife who hasn't married him yet?"
Hearing the introduction from the woman in red named Murong Fei'er, Ye Hongfeng had no choice but to accept the truth.
It seemed he had another granddaughter-in-law.
"Also???"
"Old Master, what do you mean by 'also'?"
Murong Fei'er, being highly intelligent, immediately grasped the key point and asked.
This made Ye Hongfeng briefly explain the recent events to Mu Rongfei'er.
"Ah... Han Qingxue, that ice queen, also... also came."
"I'm so angry. If I had known, I would have come faster."
After hearing what had happened, Murong Fei'er was visibly upset, her delicate body trembling with anger.
She had always believed that she was the only one who had awakened her past life memories.
Now she realized it wasn't just her; Han Qingxue and Wu Qingcheng had awakened as well.
Actually, Murong Fei'er wasn't the only one thinking this way. Empress Wu Qingcheng of the Great Zhou Empire had also of the same opinion now.
Otherwise, that ruthless woman would have spared no cost to come directly and confront her.
Only Han Qingxue knew the truth from the beginning when Wu Qingcheng activated the Jiangshan Sheji Map.
"What cold queen?"
"Fairy Qingxue is gentle, elegant, and kind to everyone, truly a celestial being descended to the mortal world..."
Someone in the crowd retorted upon hearing Murong Fei'er's evaluation of the Azure Profound Holy Land's Holy Maiden.
Although most men were instantly captivated by Murong Fei'er, there were still many devoted supporters of Han Qingxue, given that everyone's tastes and preferences were different.
Even Old Master Ye was puzzled...
In his impression, Han Qingxue wasn't a difficult person to approach.
"Hmph... that cold queen is just acting! She's not as easy to deal with as she appears."
Murong Fei'er grumbled, and seemed unconvinced.
Because she knew very well that with so many reincarnations, Han Qingxue's nature could have changed in unpredictable ways.
After all, in many past lives, Han Qingxue had been changed by Ye Wuhen...
And so had she.
If she had followed her original personality, she would never have shown mercy to someone like Ye Wuhen and would have killed him without hesitation.
But the countless reincarnations made her conflicted...
...
Temporarily setting aside her complicated thoughts, Murong Fei'er smiled brightly and looked at Old Master Ye.
"Old Master... please don't be fooled by that Han Qingxue!"
"She is not your granddaughter-in-law, I am!"
"And think about it, what did she offer apart from some sweet words? Just a small Spiritual Cleansing Pill?"
"But I'm different. On my way here, I specially visited the capital of Dongxing Empire and brought you the Imperial Seal of Dongxing Empire!"
"Why be a city lord when you can be a emperor directly!"
As Murong Fei'er spoke, she produced an Imperial Seal filled with spiritual Qi.
The surrounding crowd, including Old Master Ye Hongfeng, were stunned by her words.
Seeing her actually take out an Imperial Seal, they were even more bewildered.
What was going on!!!
In the morning, the Nalan family had been desperately trying to call off their engagement with the Ye family.
Now, there were continuous women wanting to be the Ye family's granddaughter-in-law.
What baffled everyone the most...
This woman in red actually brought out the Imperial Seal of Dongxing Empire.
This was something in the possession of the current ruler, symbolizing the very foundation of the Dongxing Empire.
It would never be handed over willingly, unless it was forcibly taken.
But...
The current ruler, Huo Lianhai, was a formidable powerhouse in the Core Formation Realm!
What kind of identity and cultivation base must Murong Fei'er possess to take the Imperial Seal from Huo Lianhai?
...
"Is this... really the Imperial Seal?"
"How did you get it?"
Even Old Master Ye couldn't contain his surprise.
He was very grateful that his old injuries had been cured.
Otherwise, today’s events would have worsened his condition.
Today had been too full of twists and turns, too much fear and incredulity.
If he didn’t have a healthy body, he wouldn’t be able to withstand all these changes!
"This is indeed the Imperial Seal!"
"Getting it was simple, I just killed the previous emperor and took it..."
Murong Fei'er said nonchalantly, as if it were a trivial matter. But to everyone else, this was an earth-shattering discovery.
The current ruler was killed by this woman in red?
And she did it so casually!
To easily kill a Core Formation Realm powerhouse, Murong Fei'er’s level must be beyond the Core Formation Realm.
She must be in the higher the Core Formation Realm!
Transcendent, meaning beyond the ordinary...
That was a height most ordinary cultivators could never reach in their lifetime.
Many didn’t even know the name Spirit Condensation Realm because it was so far beyond their reach...
...
"Oh, and don’t worry about your position after you become the empror, Old Master."
"After I killed the previous emperor of the Dongxing, I also beat up the remaining foes and they all submitted."
"Here are their life essence roots. As long as you hold these, their lives are in your hands."
As Murong Fei'er spoke, she produced several jade tokens, each engraved with a name.
Seeing these tokens... Old Master Ye’s confusion deepened.
The onlookers’ horror reached its peak!
Murong Fei'er's terror once again exceeded their imagination.
Killing a Core Formation Realm expert was difficult but doable with various methods like ambush or assassination.
But to control one required absolute suppression!
And Murong Fei'er didn't just control one noble, but all of them.
They were all Core Formation Realm experts!
Ye Wuhen's women... why were they so terrifying, each one more terrifying than the last!!!
