“Is that a celestial artifact?”

Seeing the celestial light emitted from the flag, the crowd cried out.

“It should be. It’s a celestial artifact. If it’s not, how could it emit celestial light? How could it protect Xia Zhuyuan and allow her to walk freely in this killing array?”

The cultivators seemed to see hope.

“Empress, please save us.”

“Empress, can we borrow your magic item to break this killing array?”

Xia Zhuyuan ignored the shouts around her.

She advanced triumphantly, breaking through the obstruction of the blood steles one after another, and finally arrived at the top of the mountain.

On the mountain peak, there was Holy Leader Yuanming, Holy Leader Chiyang, Sect Leader Ziyang, as well as a few War Gods, such as the King of Yan and Holy Monk Sanzang. Of course, the black hole-like celestial ascension Dao domain was there as well.

“Senior Chen said that risks and gains coexist and people’s hearts are unpredictable. Someone would be scheming during the Central Region’s Dao discussion conference. Everything is indeed within senior Chen’s expectations.”

Xia Zhuyuan looked up at the celestial ascension Dao domain.

In the Dao domain, the thousand-foot-tall celestial was also looking at her.

Finally, at a certain moment, the Abyss’s Evil Lord, who was at the peak of the mountain, couldn’t stand it anymore. He looked at Xia Zhuyuan, who was standing on the peak and ignoring everything, and cackled, “Little girl, Jing Daotian died in your kingdom, right? How about you die for him today?”

Xia Zhuyuan turned around and looked at the Abyss’s Evil Lord.

With just one glance, the blood-red light emitted from the other party’s vertical eyes made her feel nauseated. Fortunately, the words on the Celestial Suppression Flag given by senior Chen shone with celestial-suppressing light and blocked everything, making her feel better.

“You set up the killing tribulation and used the lives of tens of thousands of cultivators to open this fake celestial ascension Dao domain. The purpose was to let you reach the other side and meet the evil celestial at the end of the Dao domain, right? ” Xia Zhuyuan asked coldly.

The Abyss’s Evil Lord simply said, “He is not an evil celestial. He is of the great Evil God race. You have no idea how terrifying they are. I’ve lived in the abyss for tens of thousands of years before being favored by the Evil God. Now, with the blood and lives of tens of thousands of cultivators, I’ve forged the Supreme Great Dao that leads to the other side. These lives are the gifts I’m giving the Evil God. Only then will he favor me more.”

Xia Zhu said coldly, “It’s a pity that you’ve calculated everything, but you didn’t expect that the senior has already foreseen your unspeakable plot. Today, I’m here as senior’s envoy to break your plot and kill you!”

“Celestial Suppression!”

Whoosh.

Xia Zhuyuan immediately took out the Celestial Suppression Flag.

The celestial light of the Great Dao emerged, and the two words “Celestial Suppression” actually flew out from the Celestial Suppression Flag. The truth of the Great Dao reverberated in the space like a Buddhist chant. Celestial light surged, and everywhere it passed, all evil was suppressed.

Boom!

One blood stele after another shattered. The killing array cracked.

The Abyss’s Evil Lord was slowly being suppressed and strangled to death under the dazzling celestial light.

“No, how is this possible? I’m the Evil Lord of the Abyss at tier 8 in the Dao Entry realm! How can anyone kill me in this small Xuanling World? No, this is impossible. Evil God, please save me.”

The Evil Lord of the Abyss looked at the Evil God in the celestial ascension Dao domain.

A shocking blood-red light pierced through the celestial ascension Dao domain and shot down. It seemed to cut through space and tear everything apart.

However, when the blood light landed on the Celestial Suppression Flag, it seemed to stimulate the flag instead and the two words “Celestial Suppression” flew out.

Boom!

These two words suppressed the Evil God in the sky.

The celestial ascension Dao domain collapsed!

At the moment before it collapsed, one could see that at the end of the Dao domain, the thousand-foot-tall “celestial” couldn’t lift his head from the pressure. His two mountain-like legs were bent from the pressure.

At the last moment, he knelt towards Xiangya Mountain!

Even the Evil God had to kneel when the Celestial Suppression Flag was out?

This scene made the hearts of all the experts on the Xiangya Mountain jump.

At first, they thought that the Celestial Suppression Flag might only be a quasi-celestial artifact. After all, celestial artifacts were too rare in the mortal world.

But now, it seemed that the flag had far exceeded the scope of a quasi-celestial artifact. Rather, it was even stronger than an ordinary celestial artifact.

Otherwise, how could it have suppressed the Evil God of the upper realm?

Bang!

The celestial ascension Dao domain closed.

The killing tribulation between Heaven and Earth also disappeared at the same time.

When the sun shone on the earth again, the experts all felt like they had just survived a disaster.

“It’s over!”

“To think we survived. It has been hard.”

“Phew, it feels so good to be alive.”

“It was the Wu Dynasty’s Dao Entry realm celestial and the Empress who saved us.”

Everyone turned to look at Xia Zhuyuan and Patriarch Dugu. In the end, with the heavily injured Holy Leader Yuanming in the lead, the tens of thousands of cultivators bowed deeply to the two.

“We will never forget the kindness that the Wu Dynasty has shown us today.”

“We can’t thank you enough for your great kindness. If the Empress needs us in the future, we will definitely drop everything and rush over.”

“When we return to the sect, we will definitely prepare a generous gift to express our gratitude.”

Now that the killing tribulation was over, the cultivators who had survived the tribulation began to disperse.

Before they left, they expressed their gratitude to the Empress and Patriarch Dugu.

In the end, only Holy Leader Yuanming, Sect Leader Ziyang, Holy Leader Chiyan, the King of Yan, and Holy Monk Sanzang did not leave.

When they saw that most people had left, they came to Xia Zhuyuan.

“Empress, can you introduce us to the expert behind you?”

“We would like to express our gratitude in person.”

They were all big shots of their respective regions, and they could tell that the Empress’s cultivation wasn’t very high. The only reason she had been able to help them escape this time was thanks to the celestial-grade magic item in her hand.

So, who was the person who had bestowed the Empress with a celestial-grade magic item and arranged for her to come and save them?

“This…” Xia Zhuyuan hesitated.

She knew that senior Chen didn’t like to show off and didn’t like to see strangers. If she rashly took the group over, it would definitely cause senior Chen to dislike her.

However, these people were all big shots, so she couldn’t reject them straight out either.

“How about this, we’re only responsible for introducing, and whether he sees them or not is all up to that senior,” Patriarch Dugu suggested to Xia Zhuyuan.

“Yes, that’s good.” Xia Zhuyuan nodded.

This method of not offending either side was indeed the most suitable for the current situation.

“However, before we leave, we still need to clean up the battlefield,” Holy Leader Yuanming said as he looked at the peak of Xiangya Mountain.

Some items had fallen from the celestial ascension Dao domain and the blood steles.

“The Abyss’s Evil Lord’s items are all within the blood steles, and there are also the items left behind by the countless fallen Celestials and Gods in the celestial ascension Dao domain. Now that the blood steles have been shattered and the Dao domain has been closed, all those items have dropped. Empress, brother Dugu, please choose the treasures first!”

Holy Leader Yuanming was very polite and wanted to let Xia Zhuyuan and Patriarch Dugu choose first.

The two looked up at the peak of the mountain and saw that all the items were but quasi-celestial artifacts and some broken pieces of celestial artifacts. In the past, they would have been like Holy Leader Yuanming and the others and fought for these things, but now, they each had celestial-grade magic items which senior Chen had bestowed upon them.

How could they still be interested in the broken pieces of magic items?

As such, the two simply shook their heads.

They weren’t very interested, but still casually picked a few.

After cleaning up the scene, Holy Leader Yuanming, Holy Leader Chiyang, the King of Yan, the Holy Monk Sanzang, Sect Leader Ziyang, and the others all followed Xia Zhuyuan and headed for the Wu Dynasty.

When they arrived at the imperial capital of the Wu Dynasty, Xia Zhuyuan did not lead the group to Guizu Mountain directly.

Instead, she settled the big shots of the Central Region down and went to notify Chen Xuan.

“Aunt Li, please inform senior Chen that Zhuyuan is here to see him.”

Seeing Aunt Li sitting at the entrance of the village on a small stool she had brought over, Xia Zhuyuan spoke very politely. Of course, she did not forget to give Aunt Li one or two pieces of jewelry from the imperial capital as a gift.

“There’s no need to report. Just go directly. Xiao Chen will definitely be happy to see you.”

With all the interactions, they had grown familiar. Aunt Li looked at the jewelry in her hands and felt that there was no need to make things too troublesome. She simply let Xia Zhuyuan in.

However, when she arrived at Chen Xuan’s residence, Xia Zhuyuan still knocked on the door politely, “Senior, Zhuyuan requests an audience.”
