Chapter 152

And while Zhong Minglan rushed to meet with Shen Qingli and the others, the sorrowful Kunlun Divine Mountain immortal — Kun Shan's old immortal had already brought the immortals of Kunlun Divine Mountain, arriving at Xuanwu Palace.

Your Majesty, Kun Shan immortal has arrived.

The immortals of Xuanwu Palace hurriedly reported, running until they were out of breath.

No joke, the one who came is an immortal from Kunlun Divine Mountain!

All the most aloof immortals of Shen Ting are in Kunlun Divine Mountain.

Their chief deity, Kunlun Divine Lord, is moreover a lofty flower that all the gods wish to befriend but cannot attain!

It is said that during the great calamity, any god who was on good terms with Kunlun Divine Lord survived; those who were hostile to him all perished.

One could say that Kunlun Divine Lord is the only one in the present age who can still heal the existence of the primordial gods! His efficacy surpasses that of any ancient god medicine.

The key is that he can also cultivate medicines, growing rare antiquities that no one else can keep alive except him.

Thus, even though that person has already perished in the great calamity, the precious divine medicines he left behind remain highly sought after.

And Kun Shan immortal is the current elder overseeing Kunlun Divine Mountain; his status goes without saying.

Thus, even though Shaoguan Wu was in a terrible mood, at this moment it turned from cloudy to sunny, 'Please come in quickly!'

Thus, Kun Shan immortal proceeded without obstruction, straight to Shaoguan Wu's side.

I pay my respects, Divine Emperor,

Don't! I don't deserve it.

Shaoguan Wu immediately helped Kun Shan immortal up and escorted him to the upper seat.

Kun Shan immortal was not polite either; he was truly anxious and spoke directly, 'Divine Emperor, since you have granted me an audience, this old one will not beat around the bush; I come here to ask Your Majesty to help me find my family's divine lord.'

'Your family's divine lord?' Shaoguan Wu exclaimed in astonishment, 'Kunlun Divine Lord is not—' has he fallen?

The rest of the words, even if Shaoguan Wu were reckless, he would not now say them outright to Kun Shan immortal's face.

Kun Shan immortal, however, instantly burst into tears, 'Not yet! Not yet! My family's divine lord is still alive! Still alive!'

So overcome that he could not control himself, Kun Shan immortal had already cried many times!

One could say that from the moment he noticed the divine blossom representing Kunlun Divine Lord quietly blooming, he was certain! The divine lord still lives, and he began to weep uncontrollably.

According to his speculation, the divine lord should have come up from the lower realm's passage, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly vanished from the passage……

Most of the affairs of Shen Ting's Northern Palace are handled by Xuanwu Palace; he himself came here to Shaoguan Wu to ask for assistance.

So you mean the divine lord also went to the lower realm to undergo tribulation, successfully ascended, and by rights should have returned to his position today, yet something went wrong?

Exactly so!" Kun Shan immortal exclaimed, wiping away tears, "Please, Divine Emperor, you must assist! As long as we can find my family's divine lord, the Lady Su Nv's previously requested miraculous creation blossom will surely be presented as a token of gratitude!

Upon mentioning Su Nv, Shaoguan Wu grew sombre.

Kun Shan immortal, however, as if blind, continued, 'Divine Emperor, what do you think?'

Certainly I will give my all," Shaoguan Wu replied, "Even without a reward, it is my duty.

Good, good, good." Kun Shan immortal immediately rose, "Then this old one will not disturb you further; I must go seek my family's immortal lord. Please, Divine Emperor, send word at once if there is any news.

Having said that, Kun Shan immortal produced a jade token from Kunlun Divine Mountain for convenient contact.

Shaoguan Wu naturally accepted it; he clearly knew that while Su Nv was alive, she had always sought the miraculous creation blossom for her daughter to help her shed the name of a wasted god.

Now, Shaoguan Wu thought of Zhong Minglan's words, and although he felt uneasy in his heart,

but he also recalled the sight of Bilian clutching his leg and sobbing, along with the words she spoke.

'Father, you must absolutely not fall for the Divine Empress Zhong's scheme of sowing discord! Mother has already, already passed away; we cannot take her word as law. Chacha is your daughter, that is an undeniable fact!

'If you truly thus do not regard Chacha as your biological daughter, how could Mother rest in peace in her passing? Divine Empress Zhong hates Mother so much; she would surely be overjoyed!' Bilian's pear-blossom-tear appearance fully inherited the true transmission of Qin Su Nu, evoking pity from all who behold her.

She also knows how to win people's hearts, so she also said, 'But the daughter does not understand why Divine Empress Zhong hates Mother so much? I've heard, I've heard that the Sovereign once wanted to bestow a marriage alliance between you and Divine Empress Zhong, but Mother refused, so—what then?'

'Hmph!' Shaoguan Wu's anger flared from all sides, 'That must be it! Rest assured, I will never let your mother's death go unpunished! Zhong Minglan must pay the price!'

'That is only natural; otherwise, how could Mother's death be so unjust?' Bilian wept until her eyes were red and swollen, 'She even slandered Mother's pure reputation… is that not tantamount to humiliating you?'

The more he recalled, the angrier Shaoguan Wu became!

The fury burned away that lingering unease.

Upon returning to the rear hall, his demeanor toward Bilian became noticeably more pleasant.

'You shouldn't cry either; your mother and I were born together. As long as we can find her divine source, I can bring her back to life.'

Shaoguan Wu recalled the scene of Bilian swallowing and absorbing Qin Su Nu, and then questioned her in detail, but Bilian seemed to know little about it as well.

'You don't even know why you can devour your mother's divine source, nor do you know where it went?' Shaoguan Wu doubted.

But Bilian shook her head repeatedly, indicating she truly did not know. Yet how could she possibly not know? She knows it better than anyone.

Although she cannot perceive it, she is also someone who possesses Su Chacha's memories; at that moment she might have temporarily failed to recall it, but now, after having calmed down for so long, how could she still not think of it?

But she dare not speak, for she fears that if Shaoguan Wu learns the truth, he will instead protect Shen Qingli.

After all, the Sovereign's marriage alliance and such were all things she said to please Shaoguan Wu, going along with his wishes.

But the fact is——

Shaoguan Wu wanted to ask the Sovereign for a marriage alliance, but the Sovereign refused, the reason being that Divine Empress Zhong looked down on him.

At that time, Shaoguan Wu had already been together with Qin Su Nu, and Qin Su Nu was even pregnant!

'Mother……'

Qin Bilian felt indignant on behalf of her mother.

Thus she clearly understood, Shaoguan Wu is not trustworthy!

She even found him less trustworthy than the already expelled Meng Zhang and Jian Wuji.

No, she could trust nobody!

Now, the only one who would absolutely protect her mother has perished; she must keep everything secret!

One day, even if the eastern window is exposed, she will then be able to absolve herself and escape.

'Mother……'

Qin Bilian believed that her mother certainly also hoped she would do that.

Mother is already dead; since Empress Zhong also blames all the guilt on Mother, then she should just stay dead.

As for how Shen Qingli could, through her, swallow her mother, swallow Uncle Meng and Uncle Jian, she will eventually find a chance to expose Shen Qingli's demonic identity!

When that time comes, everyone can punish them!

"Shen Qingli, you had better not come to the Divine Realm, otherwise you'll regret it!"

Qin Bilian is very clear that the true mother‑killing enemy is Shen Qingli!

She will surely avenge this grudge!

She cannot impulsively involve herself.

Her true form is a flawless holy lotus; being a fallen god is only temporary!

Mother is dead; she will certainly awaken the Black Tortoise Spirit Snake bloodline and possess divine power.

Having thought this through, Qin Bilian could not wait any longer: "Father, I still feel awful; can I go rest?"
