Chapter 357: Big Brother Has Arrived! No Way to Heaven, No Door to Earth

So he didn't want that; he wanted someone he could easily manipulate, summon and dismiss at will, obedient as a dog—Shen Qingli.

He also understood, "You're right, I just can't stand that you don't revolve around me anymore. What right do you have? Since we started, we should see it through; what's the point of being fickle?"

How shameless!

Even Shen Qingli, in extreme pain, laughed.

Cang Pei could hear her panting laughter.

"Disdainful?"

"Your bones are really hard."

Cang Pei struck again, aiming to scrape off Shen Qingli's third cervical bone.

Fresh blood had already flooded the floor, soaking Shen Qingli's feet and spreading out in a small circle.

If she were truly a mortal, Shen Qingli would already be dead!

Even Zhao Yue, when she had attacked her back then, hadn't completely lacked hemostatic measures, after all Zhao Yue was nominally her birth mother then; a overly bloody scene would still affect Zhao Yue's reputation.

Thus, although Shen Qingli had her bones pulled out repeatedly back then, she didn't look that horrific; her meridians and flesh were still relatively intact.

Not like now...

Cang Pei had no reservations toward her.

He had decided that no matter what injury she suffered, she could heal herself.

So even if Shen Qingli's blood seeped into his boots, he felt nothing.

"Crack!"

Another cervical bone was pulled out.

Three now...

Fresh blood kept spurting.

The stench of blood had already filled the entire hall!

Even the Three Pure Mystic Maiden furrowed her brows and issued a warning.

"Don't play her to death; she's still of great use."

"No way." Cang Pei said firmly.

But he didn't think, this is the Huaxu Palace.

Even though this hall bears no carvings or inscriptions of the Huaxu lineage.

But since it is the Huaxu Palace, and the true entrance to the Huaxu tomb, Cang Pei tormenting Shen Qingli here is tantamount to seeking his own death.

Blood.

Drop by drop, it seeped into the ground.

Shen Qingli was already dizzy from pain.

In a daze, she seemed to see herself holding a small flame in her palm.

The flame was small, and in the surrounding darkness it seemed to show traces of being swallowed and obliterated.

She carefully cupped her hands, shielding the tiny flame from the surrounding darkness so it wouldn't be eroded.

In a haze...

"Drip."

Her blood seemed to drip onto the flame.

"Whoosh!"

The flame leapt violently.

Vigorous life surged forth suddenly.

And at this moment——

"Boom!"

A ring of fire burst forth from Shen Qingli's surroundings.

The Three Pure Mystic Maiden immediately turned and saw Cang Pei almost engulfed by the flames!

And Shen Qingli, she "finally" revealed her true form.

Beneath her feet, her blood still formed the shape of a flame.

"Quick! Wipe clean her blood!"

The Three Pure Mystic Maiden finally realized the problem!

We shouldn't be executing Shen Qingli here!

After all, she has awakened the Huaxu bloodline!

No, not right.

Merely awakening the Huaxu bloodline shouldn't grant such ability.

"She ignited the Huaxu emblem! How could that be? Only the Huaxu direct line can light the Huaxu emblem!"

The Three Pure Mystic Maiden's tone was off; after all, in their clan, from ancient times to now, no one has been able to light the Huaxu lineage's emblem.

Because this flame is not an ordinary flame!

It is primordial fire, the source fire born at the beginning when Pangu the progenitor god created heaven and earth!

It was passed down in the hands of Suiren, continuing to the Huaxu lineage; for billions of years, only the Huaxu direct line could ignite the source fire.

Thus, only the Huaxu direct line could ignite this emblem representing the Huaxu main line.

Shen Qingli did it.

Countless drops of blood falling from her body coalesced into a bright, leaping Huaxu emblem.

"Hum!"

Ancient.

Mysterious.

Weathered.

The aura originating from the primordial era spreads and diffuses.

The entire hall, clusters of flames lit up.

Like a sky full of stars! Embroidering the vast, lofty dome.

Cangpei stared in shock at the scene before him—

Even though Shen Qingli was still wrapped in a cocoon of gloomy light, still bleeding, she seemed as if she could still be trampled and humiliated at his will, yet she emanated a grand, vast divine aura.

It seemed, the gloomy light's confinement could no longer hold her!

"Impossible, impossible."

Sanqing Xuan'nü refused to believe, this is actually the most ancient forbidden formation of their He clan!

It's impossible to trap Shen Qingli, no matter how she awakens! Surely it's just a bluff, she can't escape.

"She definitely can't escape......"

Sanqing Xuan'nü's voice trembled, indicating she herself wasn't as confident as she imagined.

Cangpei's face turned deathly pale, his hand gripping tightly the bone pulled from Shen Qingli's body! He even wanted to crush it directly.

However, he couldn't.

"Whoosh!"

The blood-stained bone.

Also ignited into flames.

Instantly set his hand burning and smoking!

He quickly let go!

Those three bones pulled from Shen Qingli's body instantly returned to their places.

No one has ever truly been able to pull her bones from her body.

Not even the Biyu Sect could do it then, let alone now!

"Bang!"

Flames erupted!

The binding light threads restraining Shen Qingli were also directly burned and smoked.

The sizzling sound of burning utterly destroyed Sanqing Xuan'nü's confidence.

"Go!" Cangpei grabbed Sanqing Xuan'nü, knowing they had to leave.

Otherwise, once Shen Qingli breaks free from her bonds, it will likely be their doom!

Even if she seems merely a true god, not even reaching the Epoch or Creation realms, logically she shouldn't be a match for the Xuanqing and Qiu Xuan realms!

But Cangpei didn't think so; he intuited that Shen Qingli's realm was about to erupt! Coupled with the boost from her bloodline further awakening, they definitely wouldn't be a match.

Isn't it said that scholars are indeed clever?

And he's very perceptive!

His view and intuition are both correct.

After all, the flames continually rising from Shen Qingli's body have already severed some of the binding light threads.

At this moment, Sanqing Xuan'nü stopped struggling and was directly dragged away by Cangpei.

But she's unwilling!

The Huaxu bloodline we finally got, just gone like that?

It's very likely the direct line of the Huaxu bloodline!

"No, no,"

Sanqing Xuan'nü suddenly grabbed Cangpei with a backhand.

"I won't go!"

"I want her blood!"

"I must obtain her blood!"

Sanqing Xuan'nü's eyes glazed, she stared fixedly at Shen Qingli's feet.

"You're crazy!"

"If you don't go, I will."

Cangpei wanted to abandon Sanqing Xuan'nü, but she clung to him tightly!

"Go? You can't go, you have to help me."

"I."

Cangpei originally wanted to scold Sanqing Xuan'nü awake, to say how could he help after all this!

However——

"Indeed, you can't leave."

Shen Qinghuang's gloomy cold voice came from the entrance of the Huaxu Hall.

He saw, his little sister.

He thought he would never see his little sister again in this lifetime, but he saw her.

His pity and hatred hadn't lessened in the slightest; instead they grew stronger and more fervent.

Because he could clearly 'see', those light threads entwined around his little sister were suppressing and sealing her divine power.

He also saw, the blood beneath his little sister's feet, a lot, a lot of blood.

It's almost the blood drained from my little sister's thin, small body that would account for this much blood.

This blood comes from her nape—there! A wound that pierces to the bone marrow.

Those three neck bones that have just been set back in place haven't fully fused with the original bones.

Shen Qinghuang could sense it, so he said, "You pulled out my little sister's neck bone."

Shen Qinghuang wasn't asking; he was stating as he gazed at Cang Pei's blood-drenched hand, the murderous hand stained with his little sister's blood aura.
