Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 321 Should we still stop them?

Closed off from the outside world.

Two figures sitting cross-legged suddenly opened their eyes.

Nan Dou Zhenjun raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

A powerful aura was rapidly approaching, seemingly from the Holy Netherworld Crimson Python.

Why would it turn back now? Shouldn't it have gone to explore the snowy region long ago?

Donglin Zhenjun was also puzzled and subconsciously looked in the direction of the aura.

Upon seeing the dark figure rushing towards them from the horizon, his expression darkened.

Could it be that a powerful enemy is attacking?!

The thought had barely formed when the jade tablet behind him suddenly began to buzz.

The two of them were startled and turned around abruptly.

The jade tablet is moving; could it be that the deity has emerged from seclusion?

The halo in front of the jade tablet flickered, and a white figure slowly stepped out from it.

The two True Lords' surprise froze instantly.

Why is it her?

"Where is the Divine Lord?" Nan Dou Zhenjun asked urgently, his voice so tense that it was heavy and strained. "Why hasn't the Divine Lord come out?"

Donglin Zhenjun's eyes sharpened as he stared intently at the person in front of him.

Guan Xun raised his eyes, a faint smile curving his lips: "The True Lords are still so suspicious. He's still in seclusion inside."

Upon hearing this, the True Lords frowned even more deeply, clearly disbelieving.

This woman nearly destroyed the Nine Heavens many years ago, so how can anyone believe what she says?

Seeing the doubt on their faces, Guan Xun shrugged and said casually, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. If you're so capable, you can go in and see for yourselves."

Both True Lords were taken aback.

They longed to go inside and find out, but the jade tablet's restrictions meant only a deity could enter.

Just as the two men's faces turned ashen, a hurried shout pierced the air.

"Master! Master!"

The crimson flames, whipped by a fierce wind, swooped down towards them.

Seeing that its master was safe and sound, it abruptly stopped its descent.

Immediately afterwards, its enormous body shrank to a small python about a foot long and pounced into Guan Xun's arms.

It nimbly climbed onto its shoulder, its crystal eyes glistening with tears, and kept rubbing its head against its owner's cheek.

"Master, it's so good that you're still alive. I thought you were dead."

"..." Guan Xun's forehead twitched, and he reached out and lifted it up. "What do you mean by 'jinxing'?"

Catching a glimpse of the tears welling up in his crystal eyes, she pulled him further away in even more disgust: "What's with that big guy crying? Can't you wish me something good?"

Upon hearing this, Chi Rong shook his head frantically, his tail wrapping around the man's wrist: "How could that be! May Master live a long and healthy life!"

"..." Guan Xun was helpless.

As soon as she tossed Chi Rong aside, it darted back onto her shoulder in a flash.

Just then, another purple figure landed at the top.

Bai Ze's eyes widened in surprise. "Guan Xun, you're really awake! That's wonderful! You were so badly injured back then, I thought..."

He looked around as he spoke, his brow furrowing slightly: "Hey, where's the master? Why isn't the master here?"

"He is in seclusion," Guan Xun said calmly.

Bai Ze suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly: "Oh, I see."

Guan Xun glanced around and asked in a deep voice, "How long has it been?"

“It’s been three years,” Bai Ze replied.

"Three years?"

Guan Xun was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time she had ever secluded herself for such a long time.

“Yes, yes!” Chi Rong nodded repeatedly. “Master, you have no idea how worried I was waiting for you. If you hadn’t come out soon, I probably would have followed you to your death!”

"..."

Bai Ze almost rolled his eyes at it.

Hey, hey, hey, you're overacting!

While Chi Rong was keeping watch, he was clearly sleeping soundly.

The two True Lords beside him coughed lightly, watching this unseemly scene.

Donglin Zhenjun forcibly suppressed his ashen face: "Since that's the case, then you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Guan Xun interrupted him.

She didn't even look at the two True Lords, but only raised her chin at Bai Ze and Chi Rong: "Perfect, since everything is alright, let's set off now."

"Set off?" Chi Rong tilted his head, looking bewildered. "Set off to where?"

“It’s probably a… familiar place,” Guan Xun said with a light laugh.

Upon hearing this, the True Lords' expressions darkened once again.

Donglin Zhenjun was getting angry: "What do you mean, 'go where'? Are you even listening to me?!"

"Now that you've emerged from seclusion, stay here and wait for the Divine Lord to appear!" He stepped forward, releasing his spiritual power. "Otherwise, do you think I'll let you go?"

This angry shout caused Bai Ze and Chi Rong's expressions to change drastically, and they both glared angrily at the two True Lords.

Guan Xun crossed his arms and chuckled, "Oh? Is that so? You think you can keep me here?"

"How could I not keep you! Who do you think you are—"

Donglin Zhenjun's words came to an abrupt end.

An extremely powerful pressure suddenly surged from Guan Xun's body and crashed down on their heads.

Their pupils constricted sharply, and their blood seemed to freeze.

Guan Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and swept his gaze indifferently over them.

A single glance sent chills down their spines, making their souls tremble.

"This power...this aura...it's...it's the Divine Ascension Realm?!" True Monarch Nandou exclaimed in disbelief. "No, it's beyond the Divine Ascension Realm! He actually reached this level in just three short years?!"

The two True Lords felt a tremendous force strike their hearts, their wrists trembled, and their knees went weak uncontrollably, almost causing them to kneel down on the spot.

"Heh." Guan Xun raised an eyebrow. "Still trying to stop me?"

Nan Dou and Dong Lin looked at each other with downcast eyes, their eyes filled with resentment.

But what can they do? With their current strength, crushing them would be easier than crushing an ant.

They were powerless to help!

Donglin Zhenjun gritted his teeth and said, "We were being presumptuous. We won't stop them."

"it is good."

Guan Xun casually uttered a single word and then stopped looking at them.

The oppressive aura around him vanished instantly, and then he stepped onto the edge of the stone railing, leaping into the air with a pair of enormous fiery wings unfurling from his back.

Flames billowed, illuminating half the sky in crimson.

"Let's go!" With that, they swooped down towards the heavens.

Bai Ze and Chi Rong watched in astonishment, their hearts filled with shock.

The master's strength is terrifyingly powerful!

The oppressive aura they felt just now was enough to frighten even them.

The two dared not delay and immediately followed after him.

Once the three figures had completely disappeared.

The two True Lords staggered and had to hold onto the railing behind them to regain their balance.

Donglin Zhenjun raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "This person... is too strong."

"What terrifying strength, what terrifying talent! When I last saw her, her strength was far below ours, but now... sigh!" True Monarch Nandou nodded bitterly, feeling that words could not express his feelings.

He suddenly changed the subject: "She might not be lying to us; the Goddess may indeed be in seclusion."

If something were to happen to the God, the Nine Heavens Palace would be turned upside down and would never be as peaceful as it is now.

Donglin Zhenjun naturally knew that they had only wanted to use the name of the God to intimidate people and keep them there.

To prevent her from stealing anything important from the palace again.

But now it seems that even if all four True Lords gathered together, they wouldn't be able to stop this person, let alone the two of them.

In just a few short years, they have grown to a level that is beyond their reach, a level that they can only look up to in their entire lives.

"Sigh..." Dong Lin suddenly sighed softly, his tone complicated, "Do you think she... is quite a good match for the God Venerable?"

"Huh?" Nan Dou was taken aback upon hearing this.

The two stared at each other blankly for a moment.

Nan Dou Zhenjun snapped out of his reverie and nodded in deep agreement: "They are indeed a perfect match."

"Ah."
