Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

Just then, in the corner of Ye Wuxi's storage ring, among a pile of broken copper and scrap iron, a dark piece of iron suddenly trembled and emitted a strange luster.

"Huh? What's going on..." Ye Wuxi asked in surprise as she flashed her hand and grasped the iron piece in her hand.

She found this thing at a street stall. She had a slight feeling about it at the time, but it stopped moving after she took it home, so she didn't bother with it anymore. Judging from its glowing appearance, it was obviously not a piece of junk.

Suddenly, patterns appeared on the iron plate, and a beam of light shot into the sky, causing the Xuan Yin Mountains to tremble slightly.

Meanwhile, in a remote little country in the Huaguang Domain, the northernmost part of the continent, a similar beam of light appeared in a different place.

Soon, characters appeared on the iron plate, and the beam of light and the strange movements of the mountains disappeared instantly.

"The South Pole." After the three words appeared on the iron plate, it seemed to fall silent again, leaving Ye Wuxi completely confused.

"Considering the terrain of the entire continent, this is probably the real Emperor's Tomb, but the location isn't here. You must keep this iron piece safe," Ye Lao Er said after a moment of contemplation.

Ye Wuxi nodded. If there were tombs here, his master would not have missed them. This piece of iron was obviously very important.

Just after the two beams of light from the north and south disappeared simultaneously, a slight tremor occurred in the Desolate Ancient Mountains, a notoriously dangerous and forbidden area in the Central Plains. The tremor vanished in an instant, but the unusual movement was still detected by those who had been exploring the area for many years.

"Go back and report immediately." All the groups simultaneously became vigilant.

Ye Wuxi had just returned to the capital when he was greeted by a guest, the person in charge of Tianfeng Zige.

"Aunt Bai, it's been a long time. Has something happened to Zijin Hall?" Ye Wuxi asked. After destroying Xuantian Sect, she went to Zijin Hall in the royal city to purchase some medicinal herbs, only to find out that Hall Master Bai had already left.

"Young friend Ye, this is a letter that the Hall Master asked me to pass on to you. You will understand after you read it. Now, all the Purple Gold Halls in the Xuan Domain only have those of us who have been granted the surname left. I'm afraid we will have to rely on the Heavenly Sword Sect in the future."

"Aunt Bai, you can rest assured, everything will be as usual."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ye Wuxi returned to the courtyard, read the letter, and understood. She stayed another night, left some things behind, and then set off. After this, she probably wouldn't come back easily.

As Ye Wuxi entered Linshui City, she noticed a woman in black clothes with her face covered, walking hurriedly ahead, and felt that she looked somewhat familiar.

"Miss Jiang."

The woman in black paused, turned around, and gave a stiff smile. "Long time no see. Miss Ye must have heard that I have no connection with the Hehuan Sect anymore."

"I didn't intend to kill you to silence you, but I did kill Sect Master Su. Don't you want to seek revenge?" Ye Wuxi raised an eyebrow and smiled.

This person was indeed Jiang Xiaoyu. Her cultivation level had already reached the fourth level of the Heavenly Martial Realm, but for her physique, the improvement was not particularly fast.

Jiang Xiaoyu gently shook her head, "I should thank you for destroying the Hehuan Sect, otherwise I would never have made it this far."

"Why? Isn't she your master?"

"Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. Not everyone is like Miss Ye, who has a good master who would protect her with his life. She was my master, but she had already conspired with the elders of the sect. She was just waiting for me to break through to the Heavenly Martial Realm. If she hadn't died, everything would have happened even faster. The trip to the Heavenly Sword Sect only caused chaos in the sect, and they overlooked me." Jiang Xiaoyu said bitterly.

“I have never considered us to be enemies. If you trust me, I can introduce you to a sect in Qingzhou,” Ye Wuxi said thoughtfully.

In fact, she and Jiang Xiaoyu were in the same boat. The rumors about their physical constitutions were all useful to others, but the target groups were different. She did indeed meet a good master, otherwise the day she became king would probably also be the day she died.

“I have never regarded you as an enemy. From the first time we met in Ziyun Imperial City, those few from Hehuan Sect wanted to deal with you, and even during the Xuanyu Grand Competition, they still wanted to kill you. I warned them, but no one listened.”

“I originally wanted to go to Qingzhou, and since you said so, I naturally believe you.” Jiang Xiaoyu smiled.

“Okay, I’ll take you to Qingzhou.” Ye Wuxi smiled and walked to the dock, boarding the Silver Moon Sail. Jiang Xiaoyu followed without hesitation.

"It's safe now. You're beautiful, no need to hide it." Ye Wuxi smiled as the Silver Moon Sails sped across the Demon Burial Sea.

"We're not exactly enemies, but we're not exactly friends either. Why are you helping me?" Jiang Xiaoyu changed into her familiar purple dress, removing all pretense to reveal her beautiful face, and asked with a smile.

Ye Wuxi's cultivation level has far surpassed hers, and she has clearly made a name for herself in Qingzhou. If she doesn't help, she won't have many profound essence crystals left, and it will be difficult for her to reach Qingzhou safely.

"The Xuanyu is all in the past for me. It would be nice to have an old acquaintance in Qingzhou."

“It must be wonderful to be friends with you. I’ll catch up with you soon…” Jiang Xiaoyu chuckled and then fell silent.

After this ordeal, she realized that she was all alone. The only ones who offered her help were people from her former enemy sect, which was somewhat ironic.

"That's not necessarily true..." Ye Wuxi murmured, but she wasn't referring to his cultivation level.

On the vast sea, the mysterious light screen shrouded by the silver moon sail hummed, and Ye Wuxi held several Death Mystic Crystals in his hands, his eyes tightly closed.

After her journey through the Xuan Domain, she gained a deeper understanding of death and slaughter. Coupled with the wisps of death energy emanating from the profound crystal in her hand, the deathly will surrounding her gradually became more and more terrifying.

As she approached Canghai City, a storm of death erupted around her, the light curtain of the Silver Moon Sail shattered, and the dark aura of the Burial Demon Sea swept over her.

Jiang Xiaoyu groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. Ye Wuxi opened his eyes, quickly dispersed the dark demonic energy, and re-embedded the profound crystal, while also infusing her with some life force.

“I’ve never seen this kind of profound meaning in any of those Martial Kings before.” Jiang Xiaoyu took another pill that she was given and finally felt better. She smiled wryly.

"You'll see him often in the future." Ye Wuxi was in a good mood as the Will of Death had finally successfully transformed into a profound mystery.

She now possesses three levels of the Five Elements Profound Meaning, and her second level of Killing Profound Meaning is on the verge of breakthrough. She has also gained a new Death Profound Meaning, and the power of her sword moves will be greatly enhanced when she re-integrates them.

Soon, Ye Wuxi led her into Canghai City, to an empty, well-stocked inn.

"Wu Xi has finally arrived," Yao Qianfeng said with a smile as he walked out of a room.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, this is my friend Jiang Xiaoyu." Ye Wuxi then introduced Jiang Xiaoyu, "This is Yao Qianfeng, the young sect master of the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"Friend Jiang."

"Greetings, Young Master Yao."

"Qianfeng, could you help Xiaoyu by introducing her to a reliable Martial Emperor senior in your sect?" Ye Wuxi asked directly.

Although Jiang Xiaoyu's cultivation level is currently low, her physique is extraordinary and she is very suitable for the Heavenly Demon Sect. With a little training, her cultivation will progress faster. She believes that no Martial Emperor would refuse her, of course, the key is that she is reliable.

"Don't worry, all the seniors in my sect are reliable except for my master." Yao Qianfeng looked at Jiang Xiaoyu, noticed something unusual, and said seriously.
