The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

"What is Luo Li up to?"

"Ye Hao is almost leading his troops to the capital, why hasn't she shown up yet?"

Gu Qing immediately sent a message to Ji Ning, asking where Luo Li had gone.

Luo Li has been back in the Divine Phoenix Empire for half a month, but has not made any move and has not allowed the experts of the Star God Temple to show themselves, allowing Ye Hao to gradually devour the empire's cities.

This looks like a setup no matter how you look at it.

The main villain laid a trap in the capital, intending to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop, but the protagonist single-handedly thwarted the plan and pulled off a spectacular show of bravado.

Luo Li is about to have her career ruined.

Gu Qing couldn't understand the thought process of these villains. Wouldn't it be better to concentrate our efforts and defeat them one by one?

"There's something strange about this."

Lin Chuqing said thoughtfully.

The country is on the verge of collapse and the family is about to perish, yet they still haven't shown themselves.

Luo Li either doesn't care, or she has defected to the enemy.

But defecting to the enemy is impossible.

After all, Luo Li had dug up someone's bones, and the blood feud was there for them.

If she didn't care, why would Luo Li have rushed back from the depths of the starry sky?

Then there's only one other possibility: Luo Li doesn't really care about the fate of the Divine Phoenix Empire, but she has a reason to come.

A secret conspiracy is brewing.

"Ah Qing, why don't we just leave it to someone else?" Lin Chuqing said solemnly.

The strongest combat force she brought was only at the Supreme Realm.

However, the enemy also has Supreme Realm experts, and even Saints are possible.

Staying any longer might be dangerous.

Besides, they wouldn't be of any help in a battle between Supreme Realm experts if they stayed behind.

"I know what I'm doing."

Gu Qing has the protective artifact, the Cosmic Tower, and spatial runes, so if he can't win, it's very easy for him to escape.

If he were to use spatial runes at his current level, he could instantly teleport to another great domain.

Even a Saint Realm expert wouldn't be able to touch a single hair on his head.

In addition, the system has super anti-armor damage.

Whoever hurts him will suffer even greater harm than he did.

With this invincible debuff stacking up, plus a full set of divine gear, it's not impossible to fight against a Saint Realm expert.

Thinking this way, Gu Qing was still a little uneasy, so she secretly sent a telepathic message to He Ni.

"He Ni, can you help?"

Come to think of it, He Ni has been with him for so long, but she hasn't made a move yet.

"can!"

She is currently an egg, not yet hatched.

However, those in the Saint Realm have already transcended the constraints of the physical body; a wisp of saintly thought can survey the heavens and earth.

Gu Qing was completely relieved.

Lin Chuqing hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "Do you know about the Heng Hai Secret Realm?"

"Never heard of it, why?"

"Rumor has it that there is Eternal Immortal Gold in the Henghai Secret Realm, and I originally wanted to go there with you." Who knew that Gu Qing would suddenly bring her to the Eastern Region.

But now that the Heng Hai Secret Realm has opened, it will be too late if we don't go now.

Eternal Immortal Gold is an existence that surpasses Divine Iron; it can be used to forge immortal artifacts. She must obtain it and give it to Gu Qing.

Gu Qing gave her so many precious elixirs and cultivation techniques, but she gave Gu Qing nothing in return.

Having finally managed to find out about the Eternal Immortal Gold, Lin Chuqing naturally didn't want to give up.

"this..."

Faced with Lin Chuqing's expectant gaze, Gu Qing hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, indicating that she did not want to go.

Where in the secret realm can you find incense to burn for your adoptive father?

The mere Eternal Immortal Gold is nowhere near as good as this.

Gu Qing passed on the Nine Heavenly Swords and the Heavenly Sword Technique to her.

While it's true that having many skills is never a bad thing, they still need to be stronger than your own skills and supernatural abilities.

However, compared to his Chaos Returning to Nothingness Sword Technique, the Heavenly Gang Sword Technique is nothing.

Gu Qing doesn't like cultivating low-level stuff.

The idea that one must cultivate any secret techniques or supernatural abilities acquired is the protagonist's style, and has nothing to do with him.

So this thing would just gather dust if I kept it; it's perfect for Lin Chuqing.

Lin Chuqing blinked her curled eyelashes, looking bewildered and somewhat dazed.

An entire set of royal artifacts was useless to Gu Qing; she couldn't imagine how many treasures Gu Qing possessed at this moment.

Even if she obtained the Eternal Immortal Gold, would Gu Qing even look at it?

...

"Why did you decide to join Ye Hao's camp?"

Gu Qing asked in confusion.

He frowned and looked Ji Ning up and down.

After disguising herself, Ji Ning had a plain appearance and figure, looking like a village woman who had never practiced cultivation.

I never expected Ji Ning to have this hobby.

"Luo Li told us to wait, and since I had nothing else to do, I thought I'd go see what Ye Hao's trump cards were."

Ji Ning's words were concise and to the point.

She wanted to know if Ye Hao had any Saint-level experts around him.

After staying in Ye Hao's military camp for a while, the Sage didn't notice anything amiss, but he did discover that Ye Hao had a mysterious force supporting him.

During every major battle, a group of soldiers, as well as various types of strong individuals and talents, both civil and military, including those at the Void Realm and King Realm, would always appear around him.

Ji Ning recounted the whole story to Gu Qing and then asked, "What are your plans next?"

"Ye Hao is a bit strange; his trump cards are unpredictable. It's too dangerous for you to stay here. Why don't you go back first?"

If Gu Qing were to be instantly killed by a suddenly appearing Saint Realm expert, the entire Star God Temple would probably descend into madness.

"no need."

Upon hearing Ji Ning's description, Gu Qing was already certain that Ye Hao's system was a mass troop system.

These types of protagonists are the most difficult to deal with, as they possess formidable strength.

And they can quickly produce more powerful subordinates than their enemies.

Commonly known as the invincible style.

Before figuring out the situation, Gu Qing didn't dare to rashly confront her godfather.

Wait, something's not right.

In almost all of these protagonist systems, the loyalty of subordinates can be viewed.

Wouldn't Ji Ning have been exposed long ago?

Upon realizing this, Gu Qing immediately sent a telepathic message to He Ni.

"He Ni, check if anyone is following us."

Upon hearing this, He Ni's saint-level divine sense swept across the heavens and earth, revealing everything.

"There is a Void Dao Realm Level 3."

Gu Qing scanned the area with his divine sense.

This person possesses the talent of the void, as if he has merged with the void.

Even if someone at the Void Realm uses their divine sense to scan, they might not be able to detect it.

Without saying a word, he grabbed it with a "Star-Picking Hand" and crushed it into powder.

"this..."

Ji Ning blushed; he, a dignified Supreme Realm expert, had actually been followed.

Although she concealed her Supreme Realm cultivation level and appeared to be only at the Refining God Realm, she did not use her divine sense to check her surroundings when she came out to see Gu Qing, so it is normal that she was being followed.

But Gu Qing noticed that she didn't, which means she's not as good as Gu Qing.

"Let's go, let's ignore this and go find Luo Li to see what she's up to."

Gu Qing decided to sit back and watch the show, and sent Luo Li to test Ye Hao's strength.

If Ye Hao hadn't reached the Saint Realm, he would have been doomed; even the heavens couldn't save him.

Where is my junior sister, Luo Li?

Gu Qing and Ji Ning unleashed their auras, standing tall in mid-air, their divine light swirling around them. The two seemed like gods who held the power of life and death in the mortal realm, their terrifying supreme divine might permeating the entire capital.

"She and His Majesty entered the secret realm of Divine Phoenix Mountain..."

The Empress answered; she was dressed in a magnificent palace gown, dignified, noble, and stunningly beautiful.

Bai Suying did not doubt Gu Qing's identity.

After all, not just anyone dares to impersonate the Star Temple.

Moreover, with his Supreme Realm cultivation level, there's no need for him to do something that would damage his prestige.

Gu Qing landed in front of her and looked her up and down.

Her features were exquisite, her skin was fair and radiant, and her voluptuous body was as plump and juicy as an autumn fruit.

She possessed an inherent majesty and dignity befitting an empress, exuding nobility and elegance.

When men in the world see her, they probably only have two thoughts: to conquer her or to submit to her.

Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and asked, "What are they doing in the Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm?"

"I do not know either."

Bai Suying was also puzzled.

At a time when the country was on the verge of collapse and the family was in dire need of their leadership, they instead disappeared.

The entire empire is in complete chaos.

If Luo Ling doesn't show up soon, the Divine Phoenix Empire will truly be finished.

"Didn't you go in to check?" Gu Qing asked, frowning.

"The Divine Phoenix Mountain Secret Realm can only be entered by those who possess the Divine Phoenix Jade Token. However, there is only one jade token, and it is in His Majesty's possession."

Bai Suying explained.

"Are they alright?"

"His Majesty's soul lamp is growing dimmer and he is in mortal danger, but Luo Li is perfectly fine."

Bai Suying answered every question and was very polite to Gu Qing, even somewhat ingratiating, without any airs of an empress.

Nonsense. A genius of the Void Dao Realm, accompanied by a Supreme Realm expert, such a person might even have a Saint Master. How could she dare to show the slightest disrespect?

Besides, her friendship with Gu Qing might be a stroke of good fortune for her.

Things will become smoother.

"What's your name?"

Seeing that she couldn't get any more information, Gu Qing gave up and stopped asking.

Instead, he became interested in the Empress of the Divine Phoenix Empire.

She was so beautiful; her empress attire was very elegant.

In addition, Bai Suying has delicate features, like a beautiful woman who has never been deflowered.

This is really strange.

How could an empress be a virgin?

Is the emperor incompetent?

Otherwise, there's no reason to just sit there and stare at such a stunning beauty.

Bai Suying.

Bai Suying's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said softly.

“Bai Suying…” Ji Ning murmured, then transmitted her voice to Gu Qing, “Ye Hao’s mother is named Bai Susu, and she is the number one sword immortal of the Divine Phoenix Empire.”

She didn't know much about the Divine Phoenix Empire, but the famous sword immortal Bai Susu was known to almost every cultivator in the Divine Phoenix Empire.

"Good name!"

Gu Qing gave a nonchalant compliment, then silently recited the system's instructions to check her attributes.

【Name】Bai Suying.

[Realm] Peak of the seventh level of the King Realm.

[Constitution] Yin-Yang Glassy Body.

[Talent] Intelligent and insightful, with a clever and discerning mind.

[Destiny] A destined female protagonist.

[Destiny] Born with the destiny of a phoenix, blessed with continuous good fortune, bringing prosperity to husband and children, and enjoying a smooth life.

[Luck/Fortune]

"As expected, she's the female lead, the protagonist's sister-in-law. Interesting," Gu Qing thought to himself.

Bai Suying's destiny and talent have been destined to be her entire life; she is destined to be an empress.

In other words, even if the Divine Phoenix Empire perishes in the future, she will still be the empress.

She simply went from being the Empress of the Divine Phoenix Empire to becoming Ye Hao's Empress.

It seems these two have been in contact and have a good relationship.

Maybe you can take advantage of it.

Thinking this, Gu Qing couldn't help but look Bai Suying up and down again.

The magnificent phoenix robe is so charming.

Moreover, the Yin Yuan Glazed Body is a top-tier furnace physique, possessing supreme divine artifacts.

In addition, she is a woman who brings good fortune to her husband and children; Bai Suyingying is simply the best wife.

Furthermore, if Gu Qing had previously only guessed that Bai Suying was a virgin, he was now certain.

After all, the protagonist is bound to meet a tragic end.

Of course, some main characters also like to have affairs.

They call it the legacy of Cao Cao, and it is our duty to uphold justice.

Gu Qing's gaze fell on Bai Suying's magnificent chest.

Such a broad and generous mind must encompass heaven and earth, all things, and even everything about you.

Gu Qing also wanted to uphold this kind of justice.

"This kid has no self-control. It seems that after getting a taste of the sweetness, he has completely let himself go."

"Staring at others all the time, still looking? They've probably already thought of names for their kids, haven't they?" Ji Ning thought to herself.

Then she felt extremely fortunate, thankful that she had the foresight to disguise herself as a village girl.

Otherwise, if she's targeted, it will be difficult for her to refuse.

Gu Qing's blood and qi were too terrifying; she didn't want to be rubbing her waist while biting the blanket and crying.
