Chapter 31 The Empress Loses Her Face! The Man Behind the Scenes Revealed! Although this voice obviously belongs to a man, it is more feminine and softer than that of a woman. And as the sound rang out, the entire palace was filled with a thick yin energy. Qu Qingyan felt a chill in her heart, turned her head suddenly, and shouted in a stern voice, "Who?!" "Even if you are a powerful person in the Ascension Realm, it is too rude to dare to trespass into the palace of Daqi!" "Oh, Your Majesty, calm down." The gloomy wind in the air slowly gathered and transformed into an old figure, walking towards her slowly. This is an octogenarian, with a face covered with deep wrinkles like those carved by a knife, as if he might die at any time. The old man's beard and hair were all gray, his body was hunched, and he held a bone scepter in his hand. There was no black pupil in his eyes, only pure white, and they were covered with bloodshot, looking extremely creepy.
Qu Qingyan sensed a strong signal of danger from the old man. She could not help but take a step back and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?" "I am Ku Rong, the chief elder of Daluo Holy Land." The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp, sesame-like teeth. "To be honest with Her Majesty, I have been observing here for a long time." "Just now, I saw that Her Majesty was so melancholy, and I couldn't help but feel pity for her, so I took the initiative to show up and help Her Majesty." "Daluo Holy Land, Elder Ku Rong..." Qu Qingyan frowned slightly, with a hint of solemnity and disgust in her eyes. The Daluo Holy Land and the Yaochi Holy Land are both among the seven holy lands in Zhongzhou. They are equally powerful. The elder Ku Rong in front of him is one of the strongest forces in the Daluo Holy Land. His cultivation reached the ninth level of the Ascension Realm, and he mastered the unique Corpse Yin Technique, making him notorious throughout the entire Zhongzhou. But what he is even more famous for is his poor character. The Daluo Holy Land is a righteous sect with a long history. However, Ku Rong, as an elder of the Daluo Holy Land, is cruel, ruthless, and like a demon. In addition, it is said that this person is extremely lustful, almost a sex-hungry ghost. He often ordered his followers to capture young and beautiful women and present them to him. After capturing a beautiful woman, Ku Rong would often enjoy her body first and torture her spirit for pleasure. After torturing the woman to the point of madness, they would dig out her internal organs and scatter her soul. Only the physical body is left, which is carefully processed and stored away to become a cauldron for one's own cultivation or poison-making. Elder Rong Ku's reputation is extremely bad. Looking across the entire seven holy places, there is no other person as mean and vicious as him.
However, as one of the seven holy places, although the other holy places hated him to the core, they did not dare to rashly offend the Daluo holy place. Although the patriarch and elders of Daluo Holy Land were not pleased with Rong Ku's behavior, they turned a blind eye because the holy land needed him as an important fighting force. Qu Qingyan took a deep breath and said calmly, "May I ask Elder Rong Ku how you plan to help me?" Elder Rong Ku grinned, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes. "Of course, I will help you kill Ye Qing." "Kill Ye Qing?" Qu Qingyan frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and said calmly, "So, what are your conditions?" "The Queen of Great Qi is indeed a quick-witted person. I like straightforward women like you." Elder Rong Ku grinned and narrowed his eyes slightly. "To kill a sword cultivator at the peak of the Ascension Realm, I would have to pay a huge price and take a huge risk." "So naturally, I have to ask for a higher price." "How about this? I can give you, Your Majesty, a chance to choose." "Or, cut off half of the Great Qi Dynasty's national destiny and give it to me." "Or, please, Your Majesty, be my woman." "I promise that I will always love you, favor you, and help you become the strongest in the world!" After hearing Rong Ku's conditions, Qu Qingyan's face turned darker than charcoal. This old guy is so shameless. The national destiny of the Great Qi Dynasty was accumulated with the blood and lives of successive emperors and loyal and brave men. Not to mention half, even if it was just a little bit, she would never give in. As for making herself the woman of this old thing... Thinking of the various evil deeds that Elder Rong Ku had committed over the years, even she, who was far away in Dongzhou, had heard about them for a long time. Looking at the ugly face of the old man, Qu Qingyan felt nauseous. "I can't agree to either of these two conditions." "Please, sir, please go back to where you came from." "Oh?" Elder Rong Ku raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Your Majesty, are you really not going to reconsider this?" "The situation today is so dire. Without my help, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive this disaster." "Don't worry about this, Your Excellency." Qu Qingyan sneered and said, "I will handle our Daqi affairs myself."
"In addition, I would like to give you a piece of advice." "Ye Qing's strength is unfathomable. You may not be his opponent." “Even if you can really kill Ye Qing, there are still two Ascension Realm masters, Fire Phoenix King and Yao Yue, who will also make it impossible for you to return.” After saying that, Qu Qingyan simply flicked her sleeves and walked away gracefully. Looking at Qu Qingyan's straight and slender long legs, Elder Rong Ku wiped his saliva and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Oh, you are such an ignorant little girl." "I want to see how you can handle it without my help." …… In the ruins of Bailu Academy, Qin Ru had been accused and scolded by thousands of people, and was almost on the verge of collapse, feeling ashamed. At this moment, the picture in the air suddenly jumped again. This time, the scene of the image is no longer the prime minister's residence, but the imperial palace. It was late at night when Qin Ru came to Qu Qingyan's bedroom to meet her. Seeing Qu Qingyan's domineering and beautiful face appear on the light curtain, the onlookers couldn't help but be secretly shocked. "Could it be that Qin Ru's accusation against the Ye family is also related to Her Majesty the Empress?" "Fuck, this is a shocking piece of news!" "This plot is getting more and more exciting... I'm a little confused..." The corner of Qin Ru's mouth twitched slightly, and an even stronger panic was revealed in his already desperate eyes. If he were the only one to bear all the criticism, then there would still be a chance that today's incident could be resolved. But if Her Majesty the Empress is also involved, things will get out of control. Mo Zhentian's expression also changed slightly. This matter concerned the face and dignity of the royal family. "Ye Qing, that's enough..." However, he originally wanted to stop it, but looking at the three Ascension Realm masters standing beside him, he had to silently give up the idea of stopping it. Just as everyone was looking at the sky, looking forward to the next development of the plot. Suddenly, a sharp roar came from the distant sky. "enough!!" (End of this chapter)
