Chapter 170

What! The Empress actually came in person!

In the Purple Orchid Hall, many cultivators wore looks of utter disbelief.

The Empress is what kind of figure? She is a powerhouse standing at the peak of Huangwu!

I never expected to actually meet the Empress in person this time.

Immediately they realized something, and upon looking at the ten figures at the front, they all suddenly understood.

The Empress's coming has nothing to do with them at all!

Just as the many cultivators in the hall were still having their realization, two figures walked from behind the Purple Orchid Hall.

One wore a gilded purple-qing robe, dignified and grand, with brows revealing supreme authority, a strong aura of a superior coming forward.

Beside him, a man in white robes, his expression deep, bore an otherworldly, transcendent temperament, making him seem like an immortal from heaven.

The gazes of everyone in the great hall were drawn to those two.

Their hearts all jolted—this must be Empress Lin Yao!

But who is the person beside her?

Even in the Divine Kingdom, there is actually someone who can stand equal to the Empress!

However, some high-level elders of major powers recognized that figure beside the Empress.

Instantly, their hearts were even more shocked.

Great Emperor Wu Chen!

Hiss! Why is Great Emperor Wu Chen here?

They wondered in their hearts.

Could it be that the Wu Chen Sect and the Hun Tian Divine Kingdom, these two supreme powers, have joined forces!

What are they joining forces to do? To deal with some power, which force in Huangwu could compel them to ally?

The elders of these major powers all showed looks of confusion, their eyes darting, then they looked again at the ten suns of Qingyun at the front, and once more suddenly understood.

But immediately they grew anxious, as if sitting on pins and needles.

Damn! If they really join forces to deal with Qingyun, won't they drag us in, forcing all the major powers to pick sides!

After Lin Yao and Wu Chen arrived, they sat in the two adjacent main seats.

Lin Yao first cast her gaze downward.

Upon seeing those few figures at the front of the great hall, her eyes lit up.

Without waiting to speak, Lin Yao immediately paused.

Her powerful immortal sense instantly detected a very familiar aura.

She will never forget that aura in this lifetime.

Thereafter she immediately followed that aura and swept her gaze over.

Qin Han below, sensing something, raised his head to look ahead.

For a moment, their eyes met.

Lin Yao froze on the spot.

It's him!

Impossible! Impossible!

How could this happen?

But this familiar aura and that sharp gaze unmistakably belong to him!

The Great Emperor Tian Han whom she personally killed!

Her beloved dao companion from tens of thousands of years ago.

Qin Han's gaze below shifted from an initial sharpness to a cold smile.

Originally his heart was a mix of feelings, but now it is filled with killing intent.

He wished he could kill her right now!

But before that, he still harbors deep confusion.

Why strike him from behind to kill him! Why!!

Beside him, Wu Chen sensed the instability in Lin Yao's aura and, also puzzled, looked down together.

"Empress Shui Xian! Mu Shui Xian!"

"No... this is impossible!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Chen was even more shocked, dumbfounded.

Exactly the same, even the aura is exactly the same.

How is this possible!

Wu Chen, stirred, unleashed a mighty immortal aura that pressed down on the hall, but he quickly withdrew it.

In just an instant, the cultivators in the hall felt only a mighty pressure pressing upon them, but it was only an instant.

If it were aimed at them, or if that pressure were withdrawn a moment later, they would be crushed to powder.

For a moment, the vast Purple Orchid Hall was silent as a grave, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone was terrified, looking puzzled at the man emitting aura from the main seat.

"Qin Han!"

"Empress Shui Xian!"

"Lin Yao!"

"Great Emperor Wu Chen!"

Four shocked voices sounded together.

This scene left everyone present bewildered.

What is going on?

Weren't they supposed to team up against Qingyun?

The people of Qingyun, the Empress, and Emperor Wuchen all know each other!

However, the powerful cultivators with long lifespans were shocked again.

Water Fairy Empress?

An emperor who fell a hundred thousand years ago!

Qin Han is... the Cold Heaven Emperor!

An emperor who hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years, said to be the Empress's consort!

What on earth is happening!

They're all numb.

"Wuchen! We meet again!"

"You scoundrel, you sneak‑attacked and tried to kill this emperor!"

"I didn't expect you to still be alive, Your Majesty!"

Mu Shuixian stood up and said coldly.

Her beautiful face was filled with coldness.

She never imagined she could meet her past‑life enemy here.

Wuchen!

Qin Han behind her also stood up and sneered, "I never expected this—truly, snakes and rats share the same den."

"Lin Yao, we meet again!"

"I never thought my downfall would be caused by you, a vicious, snake‑hearted woman!"

These words were spoken.

In the Ziluan Hall, the atmosphere froze.

Countless heavenly prodigies and powerful cultivators were stunned by this explosive news.

The Water Fairy Empress's downfall was caused by Emperor Wuchen's assassination!

That youth, namely the Cold Heaven Emperor and the Empress's consort, has not appeared because he was assassinated and felled by the Empress long ago!

Everyone's heads are buzzing.

What day is today, exactly?

All of this is too shocking!

Shi Hao, Lin Bai, Hua Qingyu, and the remaining four inner‑door disciples also stared in shock at Mu Shuixian and Qin Han.

They were also confused.

In other words, Elder Mu and Qin Han are both reincarnated emperors!

And the Heavenly Empress above and that dust‑free man are their enemies!

The two on the main seats also reacted.

Yet they didn't know what to do about it.

If it were elsewhere, they would have already struck to kill them, but they actually joined the Qingyun Immortal Sect!

"Hmph! Nonsense!"

"When have I ever killed you? Don't think that being from Qingyun lets you slander this immortal."

"I find your words unpleasant, and I won't give you any face."

"If you dare slander this immortal again, don't blame me for giving you a slight punishment."

Wuchen, resolved in his heart, said coldly.

He intended to scare her away.

Lin Yao beside him changed expression, angrily shouting, "Shut up! You dare impersonate my husband!"

"Han Lang is still traveling outside; you, a petty Qingyun disciple, dare to impersonate him!"

Lin Yao wanted to brush it off, but this Qin Han reincarnation is only a minor Nascent Soul cultivator; Qingyun shouldn't go to war with this immortal just because of a brief encounter, right?

"Is what you're saying true? Sister."

At that moment, a seductive figure walked from the Ziluan Hall doorway and retorted.

An emperor‑level aura surged out wildly.

Many cultivators still watching in the hall were subdued by this mighty emperor pressure, bowing to the ground.

"Ah!"

"Yes, it's the Qing Emperor!"

The Qing Emperor walked to Qin Han's side, clearly sensing this familiar aura; her gaze grew sharper, coldly looking at the main seats.

"You deceived me! You actually struck and killed him!"

"You're so ruthless! You knew I... but I still withdrew; it's my fault for not striving, I never thought you'd do this!"

Qin Han heard this, turned his head to look at the similarly familiar woman beside him, his eyes filled with complex emotion.

Qing'er, she...
