Chapter 230: It turns out that from beginning to end, she loved the same person!

When Demon Monarch Qingyue died in the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, the rebel army under Yun Gong cheered:

"The tyrant is dead! The Immortal Cultivation World can finally regain its glory!"

"Burning her to death like this is too cheap for her; write her atrocities into the history books, nail her to the pillar of shame, and let her be cursed by future generations for thousands of years!"

Those voices drifted into Immortal Zhuohua's ears, and he snorted coldly, the Phoenix flames suddenly soaring into the sky, instantly burning this hypocritical Immortal Cultivation World along with those rebel troops into ashes.

And Immortal Zhuohua's act of forcibly changing fate against heaven violated his original mission, eventually turning into a wisp of remnant soul, sleeping in Dongfang Qi's body.

"Master..."

Lin Qingyue choked up: "So, was I wrong after all? It was I who hindered your original mission, and even caused you to split half of your divine soul, unable to recover your Divine Phoenix status. Later, you even changed fate against heaven for your disciple, ending up like this."

"You were not wrong." Immortal Zhuohua's tone was still gentle, as if he would always dote on his disciple no matter when.

"The ones who were wrong were always those hypocrites who stole the name of the Dao. No matter when, just follow your own heart to do things, Master will always support you."

Lin Qingyue's tears rolled down in large drops: "But Master, what should you do? How can I save you? What must I do for you to come back?"

Immortal Zhuohua shook his head gently: "You don't have to do anything. In this life, enjoy the life that belongs to you well, don't carry too many shackles. Master hopes you can be yourself again, be that carefree, free-spirited little girl from back then."

"Yueyue, look—" He raised his hand and pointed into the distance, "Look, he is waiting for you. Whether it is A Zhuo or Dongfang Qi, they will all replace Master to protect you and love you."

The sea of clouds ahead surged, slowly gathering into the appearance of Dongfang Qi.

But when Lin Qingyue turned back to look for Master again, he had already disappeared without a trace.

"Master!"

Lin Qingyue woke up from the dream, suddenly sitting up from the chaise longue.

The scene around her returned to the guest room in reality, Master was gone, only Dongfang Qi was lying on the bed next to her, also just opening his eyes, with memories of the dream still remaining in his dark eyes.

He called out softly: "Yueyue."

Lin Qingyue looked at him blankly: "Are you Dongfang Qi, or A Zhuo?"

Dongfang Qi sat up slowly, the experiences of the past life and the memories of this life merging together, making his head ache for a while.

He rubbed his forehead, confused: "I am Dongfang Qi, but I seem to have another name. In the dream, you called me A Zhuo. I seem to have seen the time we spent together in our past life, and also saw the scene where we turned to ashes together in the sea of fire."

"But sometimes, I seem to hear you call me Master. I don't know who I am now either. Past life, this life, which one is the real me?"

He didn't know, but Lin Qingyue already knew everything:

"You are Dongfang Qi, and also my lover from a past life, and even more so the clone of my Master. It's all you, it turns out... it was all you!"

This time, she took the initiative to hug Dongfang Qi, the tears falling from the corners of her eyes landing on his neck, burning hot.

Master had left, but Master had left A Zhuo and Dongfang Qi for her.

It turns out they were all the same person. It turns out that from beginning to end, she loved the same person!

Dongfang Qi wrapped his arms around her waist, as if holding a treasure he had regained.

"No matter what the past life was like, I will accompany you by your side in this life."

His voice was gentle, carrying Master's deepest love, lingering in her ears.

Lin Qingyue hugged him tighter: "Good, let's both be well in this life."

Since the assassination incident, the temple had issued a strict order to investigate the assassin.

Luo Cheng had also entered a state of martial law because of this, and even the worship ceremony in the temple square had been temporarily canceled. The entire Guifang Kingdom was plunged into panic.

It wasn't until a full month had passed since the incident that no assassin was found, and they didn't even figure out what background the other party had.

Regarding this point, the Archbishop didn't care.

Catching the assassin was just a bluff anyway. What he wanted to confirm was whether the other party was still in Luo Cheng and whether they would come to trouble him again.

The strength of someone who could even kill Zheng Linggui was terrifying, needless to say.

But why did the other party let him go alone?

Did they really not see that his two-headed snake had two lives?

Or was it that in the battle with Zheng Linggui, they were severely damaged and unable to fight him again?

Through a month of searching, the Archbishop finally believed that the second possibility was very high.

Otherwise, that woman who could easily cut off one of his snake heads had no reason to let him go.

Unless she couldn't even protect herself, and might even have been seriously injured and died.

So the Archbishop, who had been lingering in the temple for a month, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition, the confrontation with Lin Qingyue that night made him realize that there is always someone better than you.

He couldn't just indulge in pleasure like before; he had to cultivate hard and absorb more faith power. He had to make himself more powerful so that he wouldn't be easily killed.

Relying on his own cultivation speed was naturally not enough, and using faith power was the best shortcut!

It just so happened that the top floor of the temple was severely damaged and needed a lot of gold and silver for repairs, so why not take the opportunity of the repairs to change the face of the statue to his own image.

From now on, he would be the Great God Guiyuan, replacing Zheng Linggui to accept faith power.

"Archbishop, the Emperor sent someone to ask if the Great God-Worship Ceremony three days later can be held as scheduled?"

The Great God-Worship Ceremony was the most grand sacrificial ceremony of the Guiyuan Sect.

Every year when the ceremony was held, the Emperor would lead the civil and military officials to worship in person.

The people of the whole country would also put down all worldly affairs and focus on worship.

Those who were sincere would even travel thousands of miles to gather at the temple in Luo Cheng.

These past few days, due to the martial law in Luo Cheng, many believers who had rushed from other places early on had already surrounded the city, making it impassable.

If this ceremony were canceled, it would probably dampen the enthusiasm of the believers.

Plus, in such a ceremony, there were many believers and sincere intentions, making it most suitable for absorbing faith power.

After pondering for a moment, the Archbishop was unwilling to give up this great opportunity, so he ordered his subordinates:

"Go and report to the Emperor that this year's Great God-Worship Ceremony will be held as scheduled. Starting tomorrow, the martial law will be lifted, and believers from other places will be allowed to enter the city in an orderly manner. The guard army should pay attention to maintaining order. In addition, the repair work of the top floor hall should be slowed down for now, focusing on repairing the statues in the temple square and the first-floor hall."

"Yes!" ===== CHAPTER 231 =====
