Chapter 183: Bai Ze, Greetings to Lord Di Jun!

The monsters stared wide-eyed, looking at the white-clad maiden before them with utter disbelief.

Is this little trinket Tai Bai Jin Xing?

If not for having just witnessed it firsthand, who could have imagined that the Heavenly Realm great immortal who constantly appeared as an old man, Tai Bai Jin Xing, actually originally looked like a charming white-clad maiden?

It's been a long time since I last appeared in this form before so many people; speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, shouldn't you give me an explanation by now?

The white-clad maiden turned her head to look at Bai Ze and asked.

Um, if I say this wasn't done by me, Tai Bai Fellow Daoist, would you believe me?

Bai Ze said with a face that wanted to cry but had no tears.

You...

The white-clad maiden quickly sensed something wrong; the surrounding stellar power had inexplicably increased severalfold.

What on earth is going on?

But no one could give her an answer; only see the entire starry sky begin to shift.

In the next instant, the white-clad maiden suddenly discovered that she was actually bound to a star.

Someone has tampered with Bai Ze's Zhou Tian Star Dipper Grand Formation; who could it be?

The white-clad maiden whispered.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she said, 'Could it be that the other party is the person I've been searching for all these years?'

As she spoke, the white-clad maiden waved her right hand, and a white rainbow slammed into the star beneath her feet.

Accompanied by violent trembling, yet what shocked the white-clad maiden was that the star beneath her feet did not shatter.

The other party's mastery of the Zhou Tian Star Dipper Grand Formation's power even exceeds my expectations; could it be that the Lord of the Monster Court has returned?

The white-clad maiden thought, 'Looks like this time we're really in trouble!'

As she said this, she sat cross-legged on the ground, her face showing not a trace of panic.

With such immense stellar power, I fear I too will perish here; it's a pity that this incarnation of mine took me considerable time to refine.

……

Just who is it?

At the same time, Bai Ze also discovered that she was trapped by the Zhou Tian Star Dipper Grand Formation she herself had set up.

Bai Ze, long time no see!

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice came.

Chang Xi, it's really you!

Looking at the suddenly appearing Queen Jiang, Bai Ze immediately recognized her identity.

I never expected it to be you harming me; why?

You, who betrayed the Monster Court, still have the nerve to ask why?

Queen Jiang looked at Bai Ze, lightly lifted her finger, and immediately Bai Ze flew uncontrollably toward her.

Her finger lightly brushed Bai Ze's fair cheek, Queen Jiang narrowed her eyes and said, 'I never imagined that Bai Ze, who once wholeheartedly opposed the Wu Tribe, would also have a day of betraying the Monster Court.'

'Betrayal? You too have long accepted the Heavenly Court's amnesty; what right do you have to say that about me?'

Bai Ze said disdainfully.

'Me? That's to welcome my husband's return, unlike you traitors, right, husband?'

Queen Jiang said, glancing toward a direction.

'Husband?'

Hearing Queen Jiang's words, Bai Ze's heart jolted; she knew full well that only that legendary figure could qualify for being called 'husband' by the one before her.

Could it be that Lord Di Jun has been reborn in a new incarnation?

Although the hope seemed slim, it wasn't completely impossible.

But when Bai Ze saw Ao Yifan, she couldn't help but frown.

Is this Lord Di Jun?

As the chief of the Top Ten Monster Marshals, Bai Ze had followed Di Jun for countless ages and was quite familiar with him.

Yet she felt not a trace of Di Jun's aura on this person before her.

Nevertheless, Bai Ze would not doubt Ao Yifan's identity.

After all, this was personally verified by Chang Xi.

You know, Chang Xi is Di Jun's Empress; surely she wouldn't mistake her own husband, would she?

Therefore, this person before us must indeed be Lord Di Jun, only for some unknown reason his former aura has changed.

In an instant, Bai Ze accepted that Ao Yifan is the reincarnated identity of Lord Di Jun.

'Bai Ze, long time no see; I heard you wanted to betray my Monster Court?'

Ao Yifan said lightly.

'Bai Ze, greetings to Lord Di Jun!'

Without much hesitation, Bai Ze knelt and said, 'This is not my wish; merely because the Monster Court's fortune has run out, I too only want to seek a way out for everyone.'

'Oh? Is that so?'

Ao Yifan looked at Bai Ze, and in the next moment suddenly pressed a hand onto her head.

A thread of terrifying stellar power swept over, Bai Ze's body immediately fell to the ground.

The immense pressure made Bai Ze almost unable to breathe, and her body, unable to bear such huge pressure, displayed Monster Clan traits.

'Emperor, Lord Di Jun, spare my life!'

Bai Ze pleaded for mercy, only because the stellar power continually strengthening on her body made her feel the threat of death.

But Ao Yifan seemed not to hear at all; only see him flick his finger, and in the next instant a fragment of a map appeared before him.

Bai Ze, although you are foolish, your talent really impresses this emperor.

Ao Yifan said.

At this moment, Queen Jiang walked up to Ao Yifan, extended a finger, and flicked the stars on the damaged map, a look of appreciation appearing on her face.

Indeed, I have to admit, Bai Ze's talent is not bad; he actually knows how to reverse the Great Celestial Star Formation, forcibly draw power from the person maintaining the formation, then use their own power to imprison them—this is quite a breakthrough.

Ao Yifan also nodded and said: "It's a pity that her command of the formation diagram is so limited; otherwise, she might have actually succeeded this time."

Saying this, Ao Yifan turned his head to look at Bai Ze on the ground.

Bai Ze, have you ever regretted it?

Lord Emperor Jun, I regret it; please spare my life!

Bai Ze quickly said.

Since that's the case, looking at your decent talent and that you can still be useful to me, I can spare your life for this betrayal.

Ao Yifan said.

Thank you, sir!

Bai Ze couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief; preserving his life was more important than anything.

However, what Ao Yifan said next made Bai Ze, who had just relaxed, tense up again.

The death penalty can be waived, but the lesser crime cannot escape—Bai Ze, I will assign you a task; if you can complete it, then for this betrayal of the Demon Court, this emperor can let bygones be bygones.

Ao Yifan said.

But I will obey Lord Emperor Jun's command!

Bai Ze said respectfully.

Hmm.

Gazing at Bai Ze's beautiful face, Ao Yifan solemnly said: "This emperor needs you to accept the Heavenly Court's amnesty!"

What?

Bai Ze's heart jolted; he suddenly lifted his head and looked at Ao Yifan.

No need to doubt—I need you to accept the Heavenly Court's amnesty and steal its divine post!

Ao Yifan said.

I see!

Bai Ze's face showed a hint of realization as he said: "Lord Emperor Jun, you mean to have me feign allegiance to the Heavenly Court, steal its divine post, wait for you to raise an army, then coordinate inside and out, and retake the Demon Court once more?"
