Chapter 81: The Past

Zhou Heng's words made the Blue Silver Empress secretly rejoice.

Back then, Qian Xunji had led men to hunt her down, forcing her to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao, who had already reached a bottleneck at the time, which led to her death on the spot.

Now that she learned Qian Xunji had been severely wounded by Tang Hao, and had even died from those severe wounds,

how could the Blue Silver Empress not be joyful?

"He died well. Now that he is dead, my vengeance can be considered avenged," the Blue Silver Empress said fiercely.

Looking at the three people before her, the Blue Silver Empress spoke again, saying: "You are people from the Spirit Hall, aren't you? You found me to avenge Qian Xunji? Then kill me!"

Zhou Heng laughed. Regarding what the Blue Silver Empress said, Zhou Heng felt that her hundred thousand years of cultivation had truly been wasted on a dog.

"Has your hundred thousand years of cultivation been wasted on a dog?

Think about it, why did Tang Hao never obtain a Ninth Spirit Ring after reaching the Ninety Level? Why didn't Tang Hao take you back to the Clear Sky Sect and protect you under the name of the Clear Sky Sect?"

Zhou Heng pointed out the loopholes from back then directly, causing the Blue Silver Empress to fall into deep thought.

"Impossible. A-Hao was afraid that after taking me back to the Clear Sky Sect, the Spirit Hall would attack the reputation of the Clear Sky Sect using my identity.

The reason A-Hao did not obtain a Ninth Spirit Ring was because A-Hao promised me that he would only hunt those evil Spirit Beasts.

Don't try to lie to me," the Blue Silver Empress retorted sharply. She truly could not believe that the person sharing her pillow would set his sights on her for a spirit ring.

Moreover, back then, because she was about to give birth to Tang San, her Spirit Beast aura leaked out, which invited the pursuit of the Spirit Hall.

She and Tang Hao had initially relied on the help of many of the Clear Sky Sect's affiliated forces to disrupt the Spirit Hall's line of sight.

It was just that later, Tang Hao stopped her because two of the Clear Sky Sect's affiliated forces had been wiped out by the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, the two of them turned to avoiding the pursuit of the Spirit Hall.

The pursuit by those Spirit Douluos and Soul Saints was not difficult for the two of them to handle.

Zhou Heng chuckled and said with a disdainful tone: "Fine, let's assume it is as you say. Then I ask you, why didn't Tang Hao, who was carrying a pregnant you, send you to the forest where you were born? Could that place not protect your safety?

In the vicinity of this Nuoding City, the number of Blue Silver Grass cannot compare to other places.

You are the Empress among the Blue Silver Grass; all the Blue Silver Grass on the entire continent are your eyes and ears. Don't tell me you don't know that the number of Blue Silver Grass here is relatively small."

Zhou Heng's words caused the stems and leaves of the Blue Silver Empress to freeze for a moment.

The next moment, the Blue Silver Empress's originally light and ethereal voice became hysterical. She shouted: "Impossible! A-Hao would not lie to me! This place is very safe! It is precisely because there is less Blue Silver Grass that it is easier to avoid the tracking of the Spirit Hall!

Impossible! Impossible! A-Hao did not lie to me!"

The Blue Silver Empress's mind was already problematic; regarding the questions Zhou Heng raised, she had actually had doubts before.

However, in this dark, sunless environment, even maintaining her own thoughts required consuming a massive amount of energy, let alone thinking about the question of "how was I discovered by the Spirit Hall." The energy she obtained simply did not support her in doing that to such a degree.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan looked at the Blue Silver Empress, whose vines were shaking wildly, and a flash of pity crossed their eyes.

However, it was only for an instant before the expression in their eyes was withdrawn. She was just a deceived Spirit Beast; she was not worth their pity.

"He is the twin star of the Clear Sky Sect; he has a bright and boundless future. You are just a Spirit Beast; you cannot compare to the hundred thousand year soul bone you represent.

Furthermore, if he truly loved you, would he plant you in this cage of despair?

In the ventilation duct of this stone chamber, you can receive sunlight at most a dozen times a year.

In this stone chamber made of rock, there is no nourishment provided for your growth, and it is located behind this waterfall; the air is damp enough to make you rot.

Moreover, there is not a single blade of Blue Silver Grass here. I have looked; there was originally Blue Silver Grass in this stone chamber.

You, the Blue Silver Empress, should possess the ability to obtain recovery through Blue Silver Grass, right?

From this, it is evident that Tang Hao never intended for you to recover; he only wanted you to be extremely weak, but not to the point of death."

This time, Zhou Heng did not focus on reminders; he placed the dark truth nakedly before the Blue Silver Empress, clearly telling the Blue Silver Empress that Tang Hao simply wanted her hundred thousand year soul ring and soul bone.

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan listened to Zhou Heng's words, and a few more traces of pity for the Blue Silver Empress appeared in their eyes.

However, there was more confusion: how could a hundred thousand year Spirit Beast be so easy to deceive?

If they found a way, could they also deceive a hundred thousand year Spirit Beast and have it sacrifice itself for them?

After the Blue Silver Empress finished listening to Zhou Heng's words, her originally frantic mind collapsed directly.

Because the facts were indeed as Zhou Heng said; in this dark, sunless stone chamber, ten years of growth did not equal one year in the outside world.

For the vast majority of the year, all the Blue Silver Empress could do was rely on her innate talent to enter a deep sleep to reduce her consumption.

Only on those few days when she received sunlight could she recover her thoughts and try her best to spread her leaves to absorb the nutrients the sunlight gave her, so that she would not die in the time that followed.

She did not even have the strength to think about whether she felt resentment, because dividing too much mental energy to think and hate would increase her weakness and bring her closer to death.

She truly could not imagine that the person who shared her pillow and was with her day and night would actually take action against her because of a soul core.

Once she thought about how Tang Hao had plotted against her, the Blue Silver Empress recalled some things.

That was before she was pregnant; one night, she suddenly woke up. After waking up, the Blue Silver Empress saw Tang Hao sitting beside her, staring at her fixedly.

At that time, in Tang Hao's eyes, the Blue Silver Empress saw a trace of greed and longing.

It was just that at the time, she was deeply mired in love and did not take this gaze to heart.

She did not expect that Tang Hao had actually harbored the intention to plot against her and obtain a hundred thousand year soul ring since that time.

She also thought about how, after giving birth, while she was hiding from the search of the Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters with her child, she had opened her Blue Silver Domain to mask the Spirit Beast aura she had spread due to being about to give birth.

Although the Blue Silver Empress did not have any attack capabilities worth mentioning, in terms of control, support, perception, disguise, and so on, the Blue Silver Empress could be called a top-tier existence.

After disguising her aura and figure through the Blue Silver Domain, she and Tang Hao walked together and passed by those Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall who were hunting them, and those Spirit Masters did not notice that she was the target they were tracking.

At that time, the Blue Silver Empress had already seen a complex expression in Tang Hao's eyes, and a flash of deeply hidden malice.

And the Spirit Hall tracking personnel, who could have been easily avoided, locked onto them again.

They could not lock onto the Blue Silver Empress's aura, but they used special abilities to lock onto Tang Hao's aura.

The Blue Silver Empress could only drag her body, which was about to give birth, and flee everywhere on the continent with Tang Hao.

However, even so, the Blue Silver Empress still used most of her energy to mobilize the Blue Silver Grass on the continent to provide cover for herself and block the investigation of the Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters.
