Chapter 791: War Dispatch

Deer Hunt Summit.

Luo Qingcheng, with the demeanor of a lady host, walked across the spacious marble steps, and the guards on either side, upon seeing her, bent their waists and saluted.

They all knew that this woman was the lady host of the Deer Hunt Summit!

Luo Qingcheng had indeed been to the Deer Hunt Summit before, but this time her status was vastly different.

Ye Qingran has turned to ash, and from now on she becomes the lady host of this Deer Hunt Summit; the most outstanding man on the Xuanmiao Continent belongs to her, Luo Qingcheng!

After sending Han Xing and the others, as well as the children, away, Luo Qingcheng headed toward the back courtyard.

In the back courtyard sat a beautiful woman, who, upon seeing Luo Qingcheng, gave a faint smile.

"Qingcheng, you have arrived."

When Luo Qingcheng saw the beautiful woman, a touch of respect appeared in her eyes, a shy, girlish smile rose on her face, she bowed slightly, and said, "Qingcheng, I have seen Lady Lan."

The elegant and noble woman before her was none other than Lady Lan, the Emperor Sovereign's birth mother.

Lady Lan, nearing forty, was still maintained as if in her early twenties; her beauty was exquisite, skin like jade, bearing graceful, truly a flawless beauty.

"Please sit." Lady Lan indicated a seat on the floor with her gaze, seeming not at all surprised that Luo Qingcheng occupied Ye Qingran's body.

After Luo Qingcheng sat down, a figure emerged from the room—none other than Yun Ba Hai!

When Luo Qingcheng saw Yun Ba Hai, her expression changed, "Chi Wu, why are you here?"

"I sent her."

Lady Lan said lightly.

Luo Qingcheng was not surprised.

Yun Ba Hai showed a faintly androgynous smile, but his words came in a woman's voice, "Little girl, is the forbidden technique I taught you useful?"

Luo Qingcheng furrowed her brows slightly; although she indeed achieved her goal through the forbidden technique, the ravaging by the evil god had left her with lingering psychological trauma.

"Senior Chi Wu promised me he would keep my secret."

Chi Wu also sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and smiled with a sinister grin, "Of course, rest assured, I always keep my word."

Only then did Luo Qingcheng relax a little; she could not allow Fu Hanxiu to learn that she had been stripped of her purity by the evil god and brutally tormented to death.

She, Luo Qingcheng, must forever remain pristine in the Emperor Sovereign's eyes!

"Lord Chi Wu, you appear here so brazenly at the Deer Hunt Summit—are you not afraid of being discovered by the Emperor Sovereign?"

Chi Wu smiled smugly, "As long as Fu Hanxiu himself is not present, and I am unwilling, who could discover my existence?"

Luo Qingcheng gave no answer.

Chi Wu's strength far exceeded her expectations; even the great generals of the Deer Hunt Summit were mere ants in her eyes.

"Qingcheng, are you certain that the woman Ye Qingran has already turned to ash?" Lady Lan asked.

Luo Qingcheng smiled proudly, absolutely certain, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes! Moreover, her body is now mine; even if she hadn't turned to ash, she would now be nothing but a solitary soul!"

Lady Lan showed a satisfied smile.

When she learned that Ye Qingran was the woman Fu Hanxiu loved and had borne him two children, she wanted to kill her.

As Fu Hanxiu's birth mother, her favorite thing was to take away everything he cherished.

Although Fu Hanxiu was her son, she believed he did not deserve happiness; she wished him to die alone, living his whole life in suffering!

"What about those two children?"

When the two children were mentioned, Luo Qingcheng showed disgust, "No wonder they're Ye Qingran's offspring—so irritating. If I had such children, I'd eventually strangle them!"

Lady Lan took a sip of tea and nodded in agreement, "If you don't want them, find a chance to make them disappear. You are so outstanding; in the future, you and Xiu Er will surely bear even finer children. As for Xiu Er's side, it's just those two children, right? If they're gone, they're gone; I doubt he'll mind."

A sharp glint flashed in Luo Qingcheng's eyes.

With Lady Lan's words, she gained confidence; even if the Emperor Sovereign later questioned her, she could shift the blame onto Lady Lan.

Lady Lan was the Emperor Sovereign's birth mother; no matter how angry the Emperor Sovereign became, he would not dare act against her.

"Lady Lan, I heard that Young Master Lan passed the Jiu Chong Ta assessment and was praised as the top talent of Tongtian Road; is that true?"

Luo Qingcheng asked deliberately.

Although Lady Lan was the Emperor Sovereign's birth mother, she remarried during his childhood, joining the dominant Lan family of Tongtian Road and becoming the matriarch of the Lan household.

Many on the Xuanmiao Continent were still unaware of Tongtian Road's existence; as the Holy Maiden of Wuji Hall, Lady Lan naturally knew far more than ordinary people.

Tongtian Road is a passage linking the Xuanmiao Continent and Xuyu; though small, its inhabitants are all exceptionally gifted, any one taken to Xuanmiao would be a prodigy.

The Lan family is the largest clan on Tongtian Road, with deep foundations; the head of the Lan family is the foremost strongman of Tongtian Road, said to already be an impressive great emperor!

Lady Lan bore the Lan family head a pair of dragon‑phoenix twins; their son Lan Ling Wang is an unparalleled genius, and Lady Lan dotes on him immensely.

Although both are her biological sons, Lady Lan's treatment of Lan Ling Wang and Fu Hanxiu could not be more different.

That is why she mentioned Lan Ling Wang now; the purpose, of course, was to appeal to his favor.

"Of course."

Sure enough, when speaking of her son, Lady Lan's radiance blossomed with pride.

Chi Wu sneered, "Fu Hanxiu is also Lady Lan's child, right? Both are biological; why such a huge difference?"

Lady Lan's expression grew cold, "Chi Wu, don't forget that whether you can return to Xuyu is in my hands!"

Chi Wu closed his mouth.

"Hmph! Fu Hanxiu? That wretched scum! The greatest disgrace of my life is that I gave birth to him!" When Fu Hanxiu was mentioned, Lady Lan's eyes were filled with loathing, utterly despising him.

Floating Life Realm.

The disciples of the Jade Autumn Sect, after hearing Gu Jirong's provocation, also felt that Ye Qingran was somewhat disrespectful.

After all, she called Lu Shen "Senior Brother Lu", yet Lu Shen had just drawn his sword while she had not.

Is this not disrespect, then what is it?

"Gu Jirong, stop picking bones in the egg here! Sister Ran didn't draw her sword, which shows she has absolute confidence in her own strength!"

Gu Jirong was unconvinced, snorted coldly, "If you think you're above everyone, just say so; no need to dress it up so grandly!"

「Qing Lan, there's no need to stoop to his level. 」

Ye Qingran advised against it.

Qing Lan and the others nodded, no longer paying attention to Gu Jirong.

Because Ye Qingran said that, Gu Jirong couldn't keep his composure and cursed a few more times.

At this moment, Ye Qingran slightly turned her face, then raised her voice and said: "Since the Sect Master happens to be here, could you do me a favor?"

Yu Wuji extended his hand, made a fist, placed it before his lips, gave a light cough, cleared his throat, flashed his figure, and appeared before Ye Qingran.

Seeing the arrival, everyone was startled.

「Sect Master? 」

Yu Wuji pretended to be solemn and nodded.

「What's the matter? 」

Ye Qingran pondered for a moment, then said: "Seven years ago, because of my departure, the Jade Autumn Sect suffered a huge blow, its reputation plummeted; this matter started because of me, so it should also end here with me."

Her voice was clear and ringing, shocking everyone.

Yu Wuji's eyes deepened. 「What do you plan to do? 」

Ye Qingran continued: "I would like to trouble the Sect Master to send a War Letter to Zhai Xing Pavilion and Suspended King Hall."

War Letter!

Everyone's gaze trembled!
