Chapter 4566

Few people know.

The once-famous Empress of Loulan, whose name shook the world, was truly named Mingxi.

Di Huang stared at Jiang Yuran, his gaze carrying a hint of shock and disbelief.

Earlier, his will's phantom had sensed the unusual qi on Jiang Yuran's body.

But he only thought she had some karmic connection to the Empress of Loulan.

For instance, perhaps she had received some inheritance from the Empress of Loulan.

Now, however, he truly felt the aura of Empress Mingxi of Loulan from Jiang Yuran.

This could not possibly be false.

At this moment, between Jiang Yuran's snow-white brows.

The intricate and obscure reincarnation seal burst forth with an unprecedented divine radiance.

Jiang Yuran herself also sensed it.

It seemed a will of immeasurable height, breadth, and vastness—lonely and absolute—began to influence her consciousness.

That lonely will was, in the reincarnation seal, a thread of will belonging to the Empress of Loulan.

In the past, when such a situation occurred.

Jiang Yuran would calmly guard her mind and spirit, striving to keep her mental platform clear and bright, resisting the influence of the Empress of Loulan's will.

But now, Jiang Yuran did not resist.

She opened her heart completely, allowing the Empress of Loulan to act freely.

This was actually extremely dangerous.

For if the Empress of Loulan's will harbored even the slightest ill intent.

She could instantly erase Jiang Yuran's own will and replace it.

But clearly, the Empress of Loulan's will did not do so.

And now, as Jiang Yuran strained to activate the reincarnation seal.

And did not resist the Empress of Loulan's will.

An unimaginable terrifying power was also released from the reincarnation seal.

Causing Jiang Yuran's aura to rise steadily, step by step.

"Mingxi, is it really you!"

Di Huang fixed his gaze on Jiang Yuran, or rather, on the Empress of Loulan.

This woman who had haunted his dreams—would she reappear in the world?

However, compared to Di Huang's gaze, which appeared somewhat shocked and complex.

At this moment, the emotion revealed in Jiang Yuran's pupils.

Was instead tinged with a sense of faintness.

Then, Jiang Yuran spoke.

Only the sound she emitted had changed.

It seemed like a voice that could topple nations, carrying a hint of sigh.

"Di Huang, I never thought you..."

Upon hearing this familiar voice.

Di Huang's gaze trembled again.

He drew a deep breath, looked at Jiang Yuran, and said.

"Indeed, Mingxi, I should have thought of it."

"With your talent and methods, it's impossible you would simply fade into obscurity."

"You must have left behind a trump card and hidden preparations."

"Is this girl your trump card, or rather, a vessel for your consciousness?"

Di Huang's words did not cause the slightest ripple in the consciousness of Empress Mingxi of Loulan.

Jiang Yuran's self-awareness had not vanished, only temporarily suppressed by the Empress of Loulan's consciousness.

At this moment, Xiao Kui suddenly shouted.

"Master, Di Huang this bastard, he..."

"If not for him, how could the current Loulan Holy Island be like this!"

Xiao Kui's words carried grievance, as well as hatred toward Di Huang.

If not for Di Huang.

She, the Holy Sunflower of the Loulan lineage's spirit sacrifice, would not have become a memory-lost.

Powerless sunflower.

Everything, everything, can be said to be because of this Di Huang.

The fall of the Slain God Island, or rather, the Loulan Holy Island, is also greatly related to him.

Xiao Kui's mental message made contact with the Empress of Loulan's consciousness.

Once, Mingxi, as the supreme empress of the Loulan lineage.

She and the Holy Sunflower of the Loulan lineage's spirit sacrifice naturally shared a close bond.

And after learning all this information.

Mingxi's gaze also became unprecedentedly cold.

"Di Huang, you are the Desolate-Suppressing King of the Loulan clan."

"You actually did such a thing..."

Mingxi's consciousness surged and trembled.

The entire heaven and earth seemed to be shaking, overturning with the empress's joy and anger.

And the spring thunder and autumn frost, two ancient zithers.

They also seemed to sense Mingxi's emotions and fury.

The zither strings moved on their own, the zither's sound disturbing heaven and earth.

As if all things flourishing and withering were within the Loulan Empress's single thought!

And this was merely a thread of the Loulan Empress's consciousness.

Glimpsing a leopard through a tube.

One can see how mighty the Loulan Empress was at her peak.

And Jun Xiaoyao beside her.

Compared to the Loulan Empress, he paid more attention to Jiang Yunran's condition.

However, he also knew.

The Loulan Empress was not of the kind that seizes bodies.

As Di Huang just said, Jiang Yunran is more like a backup plan and hidden move of the Loulan Empress.

"Mingxi, you should know, my feelings for you……" Di Huang spoke.

"Shut up!"

The Loulan Empress's consciousness shouted angrily.

Then, her gaze turned toward Jun Xiaoyao.

Although a thread of the Loulan Empress's consciousness has always been sealed in the Reincarnation Seal.

It does not mean she is unaware of the outside world.

She simply does not wish to actively interfere with Jiang Yunran's self-consciousness using her own consciousness.

But she also indirectly came to know Jun Xiaoyao.

After all, Jiang Yunran once had her soul and spirit fused with Jun Xiaoyao.

Therefore, the Loulan Empress is by no means unfamiliar with Jun Xiaoyao.

If anyone could help her deal with this Di Huang.

Jun Xiaoyao is naturally the only choice.

"Jun Xiaoyao, would you join me in action?" the Loulan Empress said.

Although she once overlooked the starry sky as the supreme empress.

She did not have that lofty and aloof demeanor.

Moreover, she also understood that Jun Xiaoyao is not simple.

"That is natural." Jun Xiaoyao said.

If we could use the Loulan Empress's power to directly suppress this Di Huang, it would save much trouble.

The Loulan Empress swept her sleeve, and the Autumn Frost zither fell into her hand.

And the Spring Thunder zither was in Jun Xiaoyao's hand.

"Jun Xiaoyao, from now on you will follow me……"

Loulan Empress Mingxi glanced at Jun Xiaoyao.

Yet faintly carried a hint of special meaning.

In fact, she refined this Spring and Autumn Sacrifice, and indeed was thinking.

That one day in the future, there might be someone who would play the zither with her.

But she did not expect it would be like this.

The age and generation of her and Jun Xiaoyao are no longer a matter of who is older or younger.

They are completely not of the same era.

To describe it as an old ox eating tender grass would be utterly inappropriate.

Slightly clearing her mind of distractions, the Loulan Empress began to pluck the Autumn Frost zither.

An ineffable artistic conception emerged.

Meanwhile, Jun Xiaoyao's Spring Thunder zither.

On its body, there were actually strands of runes surging forth.

Jun Xiaoyao focused his mind and comprehended, discovering it was actually zither sound divine ability.

He also began to play.

With Jun Xiaoyao's monstrous talent, plus his zither dao cultivation.

And the Loulan Empress's guidance.

This zither sound divine ability was not difficult for him.

However, when Di Huang saw this scene, his mind and spirit violently trembled.

He felt a sense of his defenses being broken.

Earlier he had said, Jiang Yunran would ultimately not be the Loulan Empress.

The Loulan Empress would never casually acknowledge other men.

But now, the Loulan Empress is actually with Jun Xiaoyao, playing the dual zithers in concert, to deal with him.

This caused Di Huang's state of mind to completely break through his defenses.

A boundless surge of anger rose in his heart.

He had previously followed the Loulan Empress in her southern and northern campaigns.

It's actually worse than some hairy-headed kid from a later era, separated by countless ages.

Whoever it was, they couldn't help but break down, enraged and humiliated.

Di Huang's gaze was icy cold as he looked toward Jun Xiaoyao.

Since earlier, he's always found Jun Xiaoyao displeasing to the eye.

And now, the killing intent in his heart has surged to the extreme.

"Today, you won't be able to leave this Holy Island of Loulan!"
