The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 475 The Death of Qingming

Shen Wen was still being held in Yu Chi Lian's hand, in a position like an eagle catching a chick, while the man's figure remained firmly in front of him.

Shen Wen wept silently; the pain was so profound that only large drops of tears flowed uncontrollably.

She and Chu Yanqiu had a love affair, but it was filled with more resentment than sweetness. It was only at the moment of life and death that her tragic love moved Shen Wen so deeply that he wished he could shed all the tears of his life for Chu Yanqiu.

But just after she made this decision, the man who stood there like an iron mountain suddenly moved. He slowly turned around to look at Shen Wen and affectionately touched Shen Wen's tear-streaked face.

It wasn't until Chu Yanqiu touched Shen Wen that she was gradually pulled back to reality, and hope slowly rose in her tearful eyes.

"Chu Yanqiu, you? You're not dead?"

Shen Wen asked uncertainly.

Chu Yanqiu touched the woman's tears and realized that her tearful appearance was all for him. Chu Yanqiu's heart softened instantly, as if all the past grievances and hatreds had been wiped away. He adopted an extremely gentle attitude and nodded softly as an answer.

Shen Wen, however, broke down instantly at his "hmm." The woman, who was as strong as steel, burst into a fierce wail. Perhaps due to her overwhelming emotions, she was also hiccuping as she cried.

With tears and snot flowing freely, if it weren't for Chu Yanqiu wiping them for her, she would probably have looked like a complete idiot.

Chu Yanqiu touched her face with both hands. At this moment, he was feeling depressed, and only his eyes were expressing his tenderness.

Meanwhile, Yu Chi Lian, who was still holding Shen Wen, not only failed to achieve her goal, but was also fed a full meal of dog food by the two idiots, Chu Yanqiu and Shen Wen. She was so angry that she trembled all over, and with her other hand, she slapped Chu Yanqiu hard, sending him flying.

Shen Wen's eyes followed Chu Yanqiu's body, and the reluctance in her eyes was unbearable to anyone who saw it.

But before Shen Wen could regain her composure, she caught a glimpse of another person out of the corner of her eye, and she felt terrible.

Qingming, who had been chatting and laughing with Shen Wen just moments before, had lost all his cultivation for taking that deadly attack for the two unfortunate souls. When Shen Wen noticed him, his entire body seemed to be about to dissipate. To someone like Shen Wen, who possessed the divine eye, he appeared as a semi-transparent figure.

Shen Wen was heartbroken!

The word "Qingming" was shouted in a hoarse voice.

These events unfolded so quickly that Shen Wen didn't have much time to process her emotions. Just after she let out that heart-wrenching scream, the bizarre and swift battle was still raging.

The young emperor was in a terrible state because of Qingming's death. He seemed to have a split personality, and his expression was ferocious for a moment. The next second, another person split out from his body, who turned out to be a female immortal with a fiery red aura.

The female immortal stared at Yuchi Lian with eyes full of hatred.

Then, like a ball of fire, like a cannonball, she flew out and attacked Yuchi Lian.

When Yu Chi Lian saw the female immortal, he didn't feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

But just as the female immortal was about to act, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed in the daytime sky. Everyone present saw it clearly; it was a white tail as thick as a tree trunk, like a dragon descending from the sky, swiftly whipping towards Yuchi Lian.

Yu Chi Lian had no choice but to release Shen Wen and conjure up his personal sword to parry.

The thick, agile tail struck the unsheathed sword with its first lash, instantly sending sparks flying and electric currents coursing through the air. It jolted Yuchi Lian, the swordsman, away as if electrocuted, separating him from his sword.

At the same time, the red-clad female immortal who had attacked also arrived. In her hand, she conjured a long whip like a serpent. As the female immortal and Yuchi Lian clashed, the long whip that floated around her like a tangled mess of hemp seemed to come alive with countless lives, cunning and thoughtful, always waiting for an opportunity to strike.

As expected, the long whip seized every opportunity to ambush Yuchi Lian several times, leaving him in a sorry state.

Yu Chi Lian's ordeal was not over yet. The young emperor who had been opposing her all along, although he was separated into a clone by a woman in red, still had a demon within him. That demon was even more powerful. Thus, a red-robed immortal, a suddenly descending immortal, and the young emperor all attacked Yu Chi Lian at the same time. The four of them stirred up the entire world, causing the sky to darken, the earth to crack, and mountains to collapse. Even the imperial city, a blessed land and auspicious place, was torn to pieces by these four.

Since ancient times, when gods fight, mortals suffer. If even the imperial city, which has stood for ten thousand years, is about to be destroyed, how can the people in the imperial city be any better off? Everyone is like someone who has experienced a natural disaster. People who were living a peaceful life have their lives taken away in an instant.

Shen Wen and Chu Yanqiu, who were always by the four people's side, were still affected despite their emergency evasion.

When Shen Wen saw the dangerous situation, she hurriedly carried the unconscious Chu Yanqiu on her back and ran a distance with him. When she found an old tree, she quickly used time-space teleportation to escape.

However, wherever the magic power reached, the ground shook like an earthquake, causing everything on the ground to sway and tilt. Although Shen Wen activated the teleportation space, at the moment of teleportation, the old tree suddenly broke its roots and, along with the ground, fell down like a cake being sliced. In an instant, Shen Wen's vision was blocked by the tree's shade, and he was plunged into darkness.

When Shen Wen woke up from her coma again, she found that the space she was in was neither day nor night. The whole space was dim and hazy, but she could see clearly all around her. It was as if the whole space was dark, but there was always a faint light covering everything. The light was so soft and auspicious that it made people feel infinitely open-minded when they touched it.

Shen Wen got up from the ground and looked around, seemingly searching, intentionally or unintentionally, for the source of this alluring light.

Shen Wen walked along the tree-lined path, rows of trees flashing by in her sight. This time was different from the past. Although she was still alone, there was not a trace of fear in the endless shade of the trees. On the contrary, it felt as if she was being enveloped and embraced by a gentle embrace.

Shen Wen didn't know how much distance she had traveled, but she stopped in a clearing deep in the woods.

Looking at the empty space, Shen Wen, who had been busy, suddenly felt lonely. Only then did she remember Chu Yanqiu, whom she had carried on her back and who had previously tried to escape.

"I wonder where he is now."

Such a lonely tone, in such a vast and empty environment, lingered in my ears, making my already lonely heart even more desolate.

Looking at the empty space, a jumble of memories flooded back, and Shen Wen felt a pang of melancholy, letting out a long sigh.

Just then, a startling sound of whipping rang out clearly behind her. The eerie sound startled Shen Wen, and her heart pounded. She couldn't help but turn around to look.

Turning around, I was so shocked that my eyes widened.

Suddenly, a hundred-meter-tall statue appeared on the previously empty ground, and at the foot of the statue, a man was holding a whip and was lashing a woman on the ground.

Shen Wen rubbed her eyes. For some reason, her eyes seemed to have a god's-eye view. The towering statue was so high that it reached into the clouds. The moment Shen Wen looked at it, she could easily see the entire statue.

It turns out to be Qingcheng's god.

Or perhaps it is a statue of a goddess from legend.

Then, when Shen Wen looked at the man whipping the whip, he felt like it was unreal and rubbed his eyes again.

It was actually the ancestor!

This time, what I saw was a figure dressed in white, with an otherworldly and ethereal air. Any mortal who glanced at him would feel an inexplicable sense of awe, connecting the purest and cleanest part of their heart with this otherworldly immortal.

The woman he was brutally whipping was also an acquaintance.

It was Yuchi Lian!

When Shen Wen saw the disheveled Yu Chi Lian, it took a lot of effort to believe that this scene was real.

It's simply impossible, because in terms of both their strength and ruthlessness, they should have switched positions.

Watching the force of each lash, enough to snap steel bars, causing Yu Chi Lian's face to contort in pain with every blow, yet unable to escape a single lash, she was like a fish nailed to a chopping board, utterly powerless to resist.

When Shen Wen saw this scene, he realized that the reason why Yu Chi Lian was unable to move was because he was surrounded by a black and red aura.

Shen Wen suddenly understood.

The reason for this was that the demon hidden inside the young emperor's body had joined forces with the ancestor and the female immortal.

Although he sensed a slight unease about this temporary alliance, Shen Wen felt a sense of satisfaction upon seeing the inhuman Yu Chi Lian receive a thorough punishment, as it allowed him to vent his pent-up hatred.

Even because of the momentary pleasure, Shen Wen couldn't help but count the blows as he lashed out.

When she had counted to about a hundred lashes, the patriarch suddenly stopped and turned his gaze to Shen Wen.

He then said, "Fortunately, that Saintess Qingcheng had the foresight to place the supreme divine power left by the goddess to her descendants on you without reservation. Little girl, you must have accumulated immeasurable merit over several lifetimes to not only protect yourself but also prevent the human disaster created by Yuchi Lian in such a life-or-death situation."

Shen Wen probably didn't quite understand, yet she seemed to grasp a tiny bit of the meaning. Uncertainly, she pointed her finger at her nose.

"Me? Me...me?"

Shen Wen couldn't help but ask.

The old ancestor nodded affirmatively.

Shen Wen was immediately delighted.

She was so excited she could dance with joy, exclaiming, "So you're real? You're not just an illusion I saw; you're truly here in front of me! I saw you talking to me, and that's when I finally confirmed it!"

The old ancestor suddenly realized that this little girl was actually a fool, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

Shen Wen skipped and hopped to the old ancestor. She looked down at Yu Chi Lian, and at that moment she looked like a powerful person looking down at ants on the ground.

She glanced at Yu Chi Lian, whose mouth was stained with blood, before saying to the patriarch, "How did you whip her just now? The force was simply divine! I have a suggestion: since we've captured her this time, why don't we just kill her right here? What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, the old ancestor shook his head as if looking at a naive child, his expression unreadable.
