Chapter 866: Fengdu's First Lady (2)
Occasionally, one of them would take a fancy to some family heirloom treasure. When he came to rob a house, he would turn around and stay thousands of miles away. He did not have to worry about revenge and could live a carefree life.
However, without the help of loyal subordinates, the drawback was often greater.
Even if one’s talent was peerless and cultivated to be the strongest in the world, in the eyes of many people, he was still a brute.
At that time, if he wanted to rule the world, there would definitely be a large number of people who would be happy to serve him to abuse that authority.
Layers of bribery and false reports would be inevitable.
At that time, when the dignified Immortal Venerable ordered them to buy a quail egg from a street alley, believe it or not, the price would be ten high-grade spirit stones.
Even when he chooses a concubine, in the end, more than 80% of the candidates would be divided by the people below and distributed internally, becoming their beautiful wives and concubines.
In front of the Immortal Venerable, only a group of leftovers would be presented.
The people below acted tyrannically and caused the reputed immortal to be infamous in the entire world.
Jiang Li was definitely unwilling to be used like this.
As for the current Human Emperor’s Fengdu City, after many years of development, it was also filled with loyal talents.
In terms of combat strength, they could not help him decisively in the top battle.
However, in terms of gathering materials, exploring mystic realms, logistics manufacturing, faith management, and so on, they could all be extremely helpful to him.
Especially in the previous calamity of evil thoughts, the authority of Fengdu City enveloped the Nine Provinces.
In a short period of time, the things that were taken back were enough for the entire cultivation world of the Eastern Region to work hard for hundreds of years.
Some things were top-notch immortal treasures that could not be replicated exclusively.
For example, the Heaven-rank materials and medicinal pills that Jiang Li had used in the 18 levels of hell.
For example, the corpses of the other three seniors who were descendants of Nüwa!
That thing was useless to others, but it could be of great use to the First Lady of Fengdu City.
During this period of time, Shenshan Qiuhua absorbed the immortal power in the corpses and replenished a portion of the power passed down by the descendants of Nüwa.
If she released that power, she could indeed erupt with strength that surpassed ordinary immortals. Perhaps she could really resist the evil god for a period of time.
However, it was obvious how serious the consequences would be if she used the power of an immortal with a mortal body.
“No! You’ll die that way!”
“You’re Young Master’s woman! Before Young Master returns, I won’t allow anything to happen to you!”
Qin Shuman desperately wanted to stop her.
This was because if she died, Jiang Li would be very upset!
However, there was probably no other choice now.
The hand had already pressed down. Everyone felt that their lives were quickly flowing away.
Shenshan Qiuhua no longer hesitated. After forming a seal, a crack appeared between her brows.
Her legs transformed into a long snake tail that erupted with a pure Nüwa immortal qi!
She released the power of life.
“Fire and Water Fusion! Nüwa Sword Control Technique!”
The water and fire sword in his hand slashed out, successfully cutting open the palm that covered the sky.
The monstrous evil god retracted his palm in pain. He looked at the healing wound on his palm with a surprised expression.
In the 20-on-1 siege just now, he was not injured at all.
He did not expect such a powerful woman to exist in this ghost city.
“Oh? You’re actually a descendant of Nüwa!”
After a moment of surprise, he was overjoyed.
“With this descendant of Nüwa, it will save me a lot of effort.”
Jiang Ziya seemed to have thought of something and stopped slaughtering.
With a wave of his hand, a platform built from blood jade appeared in the sky above Fengdu City.
It emitted an endless bloody aura.
It was the Jade Void Immortal Palace that the evil gods were building by extracting human lives.
According to him, as long as this immortal palace was built, he could raise the palace and ascend to the Heaven Realm to become the ruler of the three worlds!
However, at this moment, there was only a layer of blood bricks.
Countless human lives were still needed to build the entire Jade Void Palace.
The Evil God raised his hand and summoned divine light. It turned into a copper coin in his hand and was thrown at Shenshan Qiuhua.
As soon as the copper coin landed, the Fire Water Flying Sword immediately lost all its power and fell to the ground.
Shenshan Qiuhua, who had lost her weapon, was also grabbed and could not move.
“Descendant of Nüwa, you’re still useful. You can’t die like this.”
After seeing Shenshan Qiuhua’s condition clearly, he took out another Jade Void Dao Talisman and threw it into the girl’s Qi Sea.
After forcefully interrupting her method of releasing her life, the aura around her quickly fell again.
However, it still saved her life.
He grabbed the 20 Buddhas who were lying on the ground and unable to move.
They were thrown onto the platform of the Jade Void Palace as they screamed.
He had really refined them into 20 living pillars!
He threw Shenshan Qiuhua out and chained two of the pillars.
Then, he ignored the large number of mortals beside Fengdu City.
He directly tore open the space in front of him and dragged the Jade Void base back to the Nine Provinces.
That was because Qin Shuman understood that once the casualties of the human race were too great, it would cause Jiang Li’s strength to fall.
In order to maintain the power of the human race during the decisive battle, the current Human Emperor could not lose the power of the human race. To prevent this group of mortals that they had gathered from being casually slaughtered on a large scale, taking advantage of the time just now, she let the Yin Soldiers in the city spread evenly among the mortals.
It was to cause as much trouble as possible for the Evil God.
This actually temporarily stopped Jiang Ziya.
However, it seemed that he had already found a better method.
After returning to the Nine Provinces, the Evil God could not wait. He raised the Jade Void Stone Platform high and continuously formed hand seals and chanted.
A stream of light flew out and cut open Shenshan Qiuhua’s palm. Blood that carried the aura of Nüwa immediately flowed out.
Not a drop of blood was wasted. It was all absorbed by the evil god.
It was condensed into bloodline seals by him with a special method and scattered throughout the Nine Provinces.
Then, all the seals connected to Shenshan Qiuhua. She actually used her Nüwa bloodline to create a relationship with the humans of the Nine Provinces.
In the next moment, red life threads that filled the sky were extracted along the runes and continuously condensed into blood bricks on the platform of the Jade Void Palace.
Evil God Jiang Ziya was using the bloodline of Nüwa as a guide to directly absorb the lives of the humans of the Nine Provinces!
As the mother of creation, the Nüwa bloodline could indeed do this!
“Get lost! Evil demon! Scumbag who should be locked in hell for eternity!”
“You’re a human to begin with! How can you do such a thing to your fellow humans!”
With her bloodline continuously extracted, Shenshan Qiuhua endured unimaginable pain.
However, looking at the blood jade bricks that appeared in the surroundings, it made her feel even more sorrowful.
That evil god used her bloodline to kill ten million human citizens with every breath.
Be it as a descendant of Nüwa or the wife of the current Human Emperor, she had the love and responsibility for the human race in the world!
Seeing this scene was even more torturous than the immense pain of having his bloodline extracted.
In such an outcome, she would rather die!
“Jiang Ziya, right? I heard Senior Brother mention your name before!”
“The lowest kind of traitor! A traitor of your own race!”
“Even if you obtain strength, you’ll still be a despicable person!”
“Kill me, you despicable villain!”
“I’m not afraid of you at all! Kill me!”
“I’ll definitely defeat you! I’ll kill you! I’ll erase everything about you!”
Shenshan Qiuhua wanted to die now, so she did not hesitate to tell the other party’s despicable past in front of him. She tried to anger Jiang Ziya and make him kill her.
At the very least, this could stall for time and reduce the number of deaths while waiting for Jiang Li to return.
If this were a normal Jiang Ziya, he would naturally not be easily angered by these words.
However, now that he had been corroded by the evil thoughts, no matter how strong he was, he only had a little rationality.
By the time Shenshan Qiuhua finished speaking, Jiang Ziya’s fingers had already grown black claws that were more than seven inches long.
With a sinister smile, he grabbed the head of Nüwa’s descendant.
“A mere descendant of Nüwa! How dare you criticize me! Die!”
The smell of death assaulted her senses.
Shenshan Qiuhua closed her eyes and waited for the last moment to arrive. She was already satisfied to be able to fall in love with her senior brother.
“I wonder if I’ll have the chance to see Senior Brother Jiang Li again in my next life.”
However, as time passed, she did not feel the pain she had imagined.
She tried to open his eyes.
In front of her, a pair of Yin-Yang fish had appeared at some point in time. They pieced together into a Taiji symbol and blocked in front of her.
What followed was a familiar voice.
“Great Ultimate Slash! Split Heaven and Earth!”
