The Empress’s Blind Consort: Invincible in Secret

Vol2 – Chapter 8 – I am the Space-Time Sword Saint

In the far north, less than a hundred miles from the Forbidden Zone of Sword Seclusion, the battlefield between the two armies of the cultivation world was practically within arm's reach.

A million cultivators from Great Jin stood with swords drawn, their powerful aura terrifying. Black currents formed a line, and in the four cardinal directions stood thousand-foot-tall exotic beasts, bearing the weight of a continent spanning over thirty thousand miles.

On the opposite side.

Three thousand sword edges were faintly visible, as the seven major forces had mobilized their entire strength, deploying their troops in the Forbidden Zone of Sword Seclusion.

The red represents the blood energy of the Blood Sea Empire's cultivators, the colorful hues represent the descendants of the Divine Beasts of the Five Spirit Clan, and the invisible ripples represent the swordsmanship ripples of the Forbidden Zone of Sword Seclusion...

On the Emperor Grade Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Meng Qingzhou squatted on the ground, resting his chin on his hand, pondering how he had ended up in this situation.

He had planned to lay low until the end of time, swearing not to get involved in the main storyline, but in the blink of an eye, he had become the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

"You don't need to worry about strategies to defeat the enemy; leave everything to me. Just issue the orders," Dongfang Liuli patted Meng Qingzhou's shoulder, comforting him softly.

Meng Qingzhou shook his head, "No, I'm thinking about who has been guiding me step by step, making me inexplicably become Great Jin's paragon of integrity, a model of loyalty and morality, and now, I'm being labeled as the commander-in-chief, leading a battle for the nation's fate."

"If we win, I'll transform into a war god on the battlefield. If we lose, I'll still be remembered in history."

"So... do you have any clues?" Dongfang Liuli's eyes showed a look of expectation.

Hurry up and reveal your true feelings!

Yes, it's me! Qin Liuli, also known as Dongfang Liuli, the Supreme Empress of Great Jin, making you no longer obscure, but a renowned Empress' Husband and Favorite Minister, soon to be a general as well.

Meeting such a benefactor in life is like being reborn as a deity; one should burn incense, bathe, and worship daily.

Quick, don't be stingy with your praise, praise the Empress!

"I have a clue!"

Meng Qingzhou nodded, his face ashen, gritting his teeth, "It's the Empress!"

"Yes, that's right." Dongfang Liuli's lips curled up, her eyes closed, looking adorable as if seeking praise.

"So, my wife, after this battle, no matter what, we must leave Great Jin! I'll take you back to Present Village! We won't be officials anymore!" Meng Qingzhou's tone was resolute, extremely solemn.

Dongfang Liuli's smile froze, she opened her eyes woodenly, staring blankly at Meng Qingzhou, "Why? Isn't the Empress treating you well?"

"Heh heh..."

"What you give is not what I seek! I don't need these empty titles; even a bowl of old duck soup is more practical."

It wasn't until the battlefield's clamorous drums and the tense atmosphere of impending slaughter that Meng Qingzhou finally woke up.

"If we must fight this battle, let's fight it beautifully, repay the favor, and then resign and return to the village."

Saying this, Meng Qingzhou exhaled deeply, as if making some kind of decision.

Leaving Great Jin, resigning and returning to the village!

This battle would be his final act of gratitude to the Great Jin Dynasty and the Empress.

"Offering a nation's fate to repay the ruler's favor, but I, Meng Qingzhou, no longer wish to be an official." Meng Qingzhou muttered to himself.

Meng Qingzhou feared getting deeper and deeper, eventually unable to extricate himself. Now as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, he dared not imagine what he might become in the future.

...

...

That afternoon.

The leaders of the seven major forces appeared one after another, manifesting the Divine Power of Heaven and Earth, their colossal bodies towering over the battlefield on both sides.

"Qin Liuli, we give you one last chance: withdraw your troops immediately and hand over the Space-Time Sword Saint, or else... bear the consequences yourself." The Hidden Sword Lord shouted.

The sky transformed into the appearance of Qin Liuli, clad in a red glass robe, her eyes cold as she looked down, speaking indifferently:

"Did you just say... hand over the Space-Time Sword Saint?"

"Can I know the cause and effect?"

The Hidden Sword Lord seemed reckless, but this proposal was well-researched. A desperate fight, pitting their foundations against each other, would be detrimental to both sides.

The true foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty was beyond expectations, so the seven major forces did not want to start a war, fearing that if they fought to the end, the observing forces would swoop in to reap the benefits.

So having Qin Liuli hand over the Space-Time Sword Saint to achieve the effect of retreating troops was the best solution.

After all, the Space-Time Sword Saint had no blood ties with the Empress. Sacrificing him wouldn't be a big deal.

"The Space-Time Sword Saint killed seven young supremes, his crime deserving death. Let him be the sacrificial lamb for this war, exchanging his life for peace between us." The Hidden Sword Lord said.

At this, the Hidden Sword Lord chuckled, "Of course, we are also curious. This twenty-year-old Sword Saint, who integrated the supreme laws of time and space into his swordsmanship, piques my curiosity. I want to study him."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qingzhou, standing on the continent of mountains and rivers, almost couldn't help but curse.

"Heh heh... I was worried the 'Empress' wouldn't go all out, but the Hidden Sword Lord just had to mention the Space-Time Sword Saint. He's in for it now." Dongfang Liuli chuckled.

Meng Qingzhou raised an eyebrow, puzzled, but continued to observe quietly.

In the sky.

The sky's five fingers clenched suddenly, a fierce light in her eyes, but her tone remained calm:

"Using the Space-Time Sword Saint as a bargaining chip? But now the tables have turned. What leverage do you have to negotiate?"

The sky originally planned to exert only thirty percent of her strength, to both muddle through and fulfill her agreement with Dongfang Liuli.

But now it felt as if a demon whispered in her heart: I want to kill! Kill! I want to shove the Hidden Sword Lord's head up his ass!

The Hidden Sword Lord smiled slightly, "Qin Liuli, do you think that breaking through to the Morning Glow Realm makes you invincible?"

"Ridiculous."

As his words fell, deep within the Forbidden Zone of Sword Seclusion, four Morning Glow Realm auras shot out like sharp arrows, spanning the battlefield.

Not only that, but there were also hundreds of Moon Shine Realm cultivators, thousands of Sea Covering Realm cultivators, and nearly ten thousand Mountain Moving Realm cultivators!

And ten half-step Morning Glow Realm experts!

"How about now? Do we have the leverage to negotiate?" The Hidden Sword Lord sneered.

On Great Jin's side, countless faces changed drastically, feeling unprecedented pressure!

What they disenchanted was not the number of Moon Shine, Sea Covering, and Mountain Moving Realm experts, but that the seven major forces had hidden five Morning Glow Realm great beings!

"We're in trouble." Jiang Canghai's expression was grave as he argued to himself:

"Never underestimate the world, especially forces with millennia of heritage."

Qin Fenghuo was also started led, showing a deathly resolution for the first time, resolutely transmitting to Jiang Canghai:

"Old man, hurry back to Great Jin and unseal the Sunlight Lord. There might still be a chance!"

Jiang Canghai took a deep breath, nodded, looked deeply at Qin Fenghuo, said nothing, and directly entered the alternate space, urgently mobilizing a hidden divine airship.

He knew his old friend was prepared to burn his lifespan and fight to the death to buy time.

Any hesitation would be a disservice to Qin Fenghuo's determination.

"Maximize the speed of the divine airship and initiate spatial jump!" Jiang Canghai implies the divine airship's crew.

"Prime Minister, why are you fleeing before the battle?" The crew asked seriously.

Jiang Canghai's tone was heavy, "Return to the Imperial Capital, summon the Sunlight Lord!"

...

...

However, just as a divine airship silently crossed space to return to the Imperial Capital within the alternate space.

The battle erupted!

The sky threw a punch, shattering layers of space like fragile glass.

Boom!

With just one punch, the Hidden Sword Lord's flesh body exploded on the spot, and even his divine soul sitting in the spiritual platform was covered in countless cracks.

"Late Morning Glow Realm?!"

The Hidden Sword Lord cried out in horror. In just one exchange, before he could even draw his sword, he was bleeding and near death!

"You're not Qin Liuli! Who are you?!"

"Ungrateful descendant, I'm your father!" The sky's delicate fist clenched, her fury overwhelming, and she swung her arm to deliver another punch.
