The villain is utterly immoral; with a dragon charging right in his face, how could he possibly lose

Chapter 88 My Foolish Sister Has Been Scammed Again

"I'm sorry, my young master was being naughty just now, and I couldn't help myself." Zhou Yueqin apologized, but her smile remained unchanged.

What a joke! She's an elder of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land. She came to the Great Qing Empire as an official only to temper her heart in the mortal world.

There's no need to worry about the royal family's opinion; at worst, they can just pack up and leave.

Jiang Qiuyue also thought of this, and immediately took the opportunity to go down the steps. She used her internal energy to remove the bruises on her face and looked at Gu Qing angrily.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, aren't you going too far? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have the Starry Sky Temple?"

"I was just trying to help you out of kindness, if you don't appreciate it, then forget it." Gu Qing said in a calm tone, as if she were recounting an ordinary matter.

"Good good!"

"My beloved ministers, who will teach this ignorant madman a lesson for me?"

Liu Yuanzhong was so angry that he laughed instead.

If he doesn't retaliate after being humiliated by a mere King Realm expert, the Great Qing Empire might as well disband.

The Starry Sky Temple is indeed powerful, but it's impossible for them to send a Divine Fire Realm Ancestor out of seclusion for a madman.

If that's really the case, wouldn't the Divine Fire Realm Ancestor be extremely busy?

Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in the world that seniors generally do not interfere in disputes among their peers or those of the same rank.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to war."

After a few moments of silence, a tall, middle-aged man stepped forward, exuding an aura of iron-blooded power, like a war god who had been through countless battles.

"Very well, Minister Su, you shall teach this madman a lesson for me."

Liu Yuanzhong nodded, his face cold, like a cold emperor looking down on everyone.

Su Qingtian is at the peak of the ninth level of the King Realm. Using him to deal with Gu Qing, who is at the second level of the King Realm, is a bit bullying.

But to ensure everything went perfectly, Liu Yuanzhong couldn't care less about anything else.

"Yes."

As Su Qingtian took a step forward, an earth-shattering phenomenon instantly appeared, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and a murderous aura soaring into the sky.

"You brat, how dare you disrespect Her Majesty the Empress! Will you surrender now, or shall I execute you on the spot?"

"Gu Qing." Liu Ruyan's expression changed drastically, and she nervously tugged at Gu Qing's sleeve. "Should we leave first?"

Although she didn't know much about the Great Qing Empire, she did know Su Qingtian.

This is her fiancé's father, a military man who has never been defeated in his life and is known as the invincible war god of the Great Qing Empire, who is undefeated in battle and invincible in attack.

"It's nothing, just ants."

Gu Qing chuckled. Although Su Qingtian's extraordinary phenomena were terrifying and made him a top expert in the King Realm, in his eyes, he was nothing special.

All those at the King Realm were mere ants to be killed at his fingertips.

After all, he cultivated the Chaos Undying Scripture, which incorporated countless cultivation techniques, and refined a massive amount of precious liquid to evolve his physical body.

His foundation is so profound that even if he gave up resisting, no king-level expert could possibly defeat him.

"Insanity."

Su Qingtian was furious. He had never been defeated in his life of battle and had countless honors.

Gu Qing, a mere second-level King Realm expert, dares to look down on him so much.

This is an absolute humiliation.

"Whether it's arrogance or not, you'll know once you catch one of my fingers."

Gu Qing put away the Void Flying Boat, casually pointed a finger, and condensed thousands of stars to imprison the heavens and earth.

The entire world seemed to be enveloped by the cosmos, and a single finger contained the power to shatter stars, making it unparalleled.

"Ok?"

Everyone's expression changed. Even though the Star Shattering Finger didn't attack them, its immense divine power still made them feel as if their souls were being shattered.

Su Qingtian, who was being targeted, was terrified.

Under the overwhelming power of the Shattering Star Finger, he felt as if he were facing the might of heaven, insignificant and powerless, leaving him without even the courage to resist.

The terror of death rose in his heart. Su Qingtian hurriedly steadied his collapsing mind and summoned his defensive magic weapon, the King's Seal.

With a bang, the seal was shattered into powder by a single finger, and the power of the Shattering Star Finger was reduced by eight-tenths.

Su Qingtian's soul was injured, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at the approaching Shattering Star Finger, he instantly burned his essence, energy, and spirit, unleashing his strongest divine power.

But he was still no match for them, and half of his body was blown apart by a single finger.

Su Qingtian immediately took several healing pills, and his severed limbs quickly regenerated, but this was only the surface.

The newly grown body is not the original body at all; its foundation has been completely destroyed.

Moreover, his cultivation level was rapidly declining, dropping to the seventh level of the King Realm in an instant.

Ignoring his injuries, Su Qingtian stared at Gu Qing with a look of horror, as if he were seeing an unbelievable monster.

The same was true of everyone present.

Gu Qing's strength is beyond doubt, but the fact that a King Realm expert could shatter a King-level weapon with a single blow is something they have never heard of before.

Today was an eye-opener.

Furthermore, it was only at this point that they realized Gu Qing was too young.

She looks to be only in her early twenties.

A king-level expert in their twenties—what kind of concept is that?

This is truly something I've never seen before.

"Not dead? That's something."

Gu Qing was surprised for a moment, and then stopped making a move.

Liu Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief. This future father-in-law had helped her before, and her fiancé, Su Chen, was her only playmate in the Great Qing Empire.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, are you the Holy Son of the Starry Sky Temple?"

Liu Yuanzhong spoke with respect, harboring no resentment towards Gu Qingsheng whatsoever.

Gu Qing is so terrifying; he is definitely not an ordinary disciple. He might even be a holy son.

If Gu Qing is offended to death, the Great Qing Empire is in danger of being destroyed.

"Just a minor master's teachings," Gu Qing said.

"The true teachings?"

Everyone looked at each other.

If the true teachings are this terrifying, then how monstrous must the Holy Son be?

They weren't initially afraid of the Star Temple, since it was located deep in the universe, and Wanbaolou only mentioned the Divine Fire Realm.

They subconsciously assumed that there was only one Divine Fire Realm ancestor in charge.

But judging from what Gu Qing said, there is probably more than one Divine Fire Realm expert.

The sects that have been passed down since ancient times possess a terrifying foundation that is beyond their imagination.

For a time, everyone became even more respectful to Gu Qing, to the point of fawning over him.

“This is bad…” Liu Ruyi shifted her gaze from her sister and began to look directly at Gu Qing.

She initially thought Gu Qing was just a minor talent, insignificant and that she had plenty of ways to deal with him; her sister was hers alone.

But Gu Qing's talent and status exceeded her expectations, giving him the ability to take her sister away.

This is absolutely not okay.

"Are you really the true successor?" Liu Ruyan was somewhat skeptical, as the shock she felt from the Broken Star Technique was simply too great.

She considered herself to have unparalleled talent, but even she couldn't destroy a magical artifact of the same level.

"of course."

Gu Qing nodded slightly and smiled, "That finger strike just now was called the Star-Shattering Finger, a superior divine power of the Star God Temple. Above that, there's the Star-Plucking Hand, the Seven Stars..."

Gu Qing rattled off more than a dozen unparalleled divine abilities and Daoist scriptures in one breath. At the end, he added, "You can start cultivating them once you return to the Star God Palace."

Liu Ruyan's eyes were filled with longing, and her expression was excited.

Wow, the Star Temple's supernatural powers are incredible.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan was extremely grateful, grateful that her master had asked Gu Qing to take her under his wing, and grateful that she had joined the Starry Sky Temple.

This is an incredible stroke of luck, even greater than obtaining a divine-level cultivation technique or the inheritance of the Divine Fire Realm.

"hiss!"

Everyone who heard this was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Most of the people present did not even have Saint-level cultivation techniques, but joining the Star God Temple would allow them to cultivate Dao scriptures that surpassed the Divine Fire Realm, as well as unparalleled divine abilities.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Ruyan went from a witch hated by everyone to a high and mighty goddess, ascending to the heavens in one step.

"Damn..."

Jiang Qiuyue gritted her teeth so hard they almost broke, glaring at Liu Ruyan with resentment.

She felt that Liu Ruyan was unworthy of such good fortune; it should belong to Liu Ruyi.

"Ok?"

Gu Qing glanced at her coldly, causing the latter to shudder and fall silent.

"Now let's get back to the topic."

Is there a problem with me trying to clear your head?

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, and then their faces twitched.

Is this some kind of relentless attack on the Empress's reputation?

Jiang Qiuyue instinctively wanted to refute, but upon hearing Liu Yuanzhong's telepathic message, she replied, feeling both frustrated and embarrassed, "No problem."

"Ruyan is a goddess, does anyone have a problem with that?" Gu Qing then asked.

"We have no objections."

“Princess Ruyan was born noble and was a goddess reincarnated. I can testify to this.”

"I can also testify..."

"If anyone dares to slander Princess Ruyan again, I will..."

Everyone nodded in agreement and promised to spread the name of the goddess Liu Ruyan.

Liu Yuanzhong also wore a smile, but his fists, hidden in his sleeves, were clenched tightly, his heart filled with resentment, anger, and helplessness.

To be bullied to this extent by someone at the King Realm is an utter disgrace.

But there's nothing he can do about it.

If someone of the same level can defeat Gu Qing, then everything is fine, and the Star God Temple should not interfere in the competition between people of the same level.

This is the rule that the world generally accepts.

However, no one at the same level could rival Gu Qing, and he was helpless against him.

Sending someone of higher realm would change the nature of the situation.

He still dared not challenge the authority of the Star Temple.

“Gu Qing…”

Seeing the admiration of thousands and the flattery bestowed upon her, Liu Ruyan's clear eyes welled up with tears, and a warm current flowed through her heart.

She once longed to be like Liu Ruyi, a goddess revered by millions.

However, this was ultimately just her fantasy.

But today, Gu Qing helped her achieve it with just one sentence.

"It's simply a matter of the strong ruling; that's an age-old truth," Gu Qing said.

Liu Ruyan nodded emphatically, her young heart filled with a desire to become stronger.

"Go."

Gu Qing gave her a wink, signaling that she could announce the end of their relationship.

"Oh no..." Liu Ruyi thought to herself, seeing Liu Ruyan nod.

She hurriedly sent a telepathic message: "Sister, do you know where Granny Gong is?"

Liu Ruyan's delicate body trembled, and her face turned pale instantly.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyi continued to transmit her voice: "Sister, I know I have done many wrong things. I don't ask for your forgiveness. As long as you are willing to stay in the capital for ten days, I will immediately release Granny Gong."

"You would be so kind?" Liu Ruyan didn't believe a word she said.

"I'll have someone release Granny Gong right now."

Liu Ruyi's voice was choked with sobs: "Sister, I really know I was wrong. All these years I have been searching for rare and precious treasures for you, and I will also return the origin of the Divine Demon Body to you. I only ask that you give me a chance to make amends."

Liu Ruyan shook her head.

What Liu Ruyi said was incredibly tempting, and she couldn't help but be moved.

But she knew very well that Liu Ruyi was a born evil, insidious and twisted.

It's better to believe she's a Celestial Emperor than to believe she's genuinely repentant.

However, Granny Gong was her savior and treated her like a close relative.

It was Granny Gong who helped her escape from the palace and gave her the only Void Teleportation Talisman.

If left unchecked, Granny Gong will surely die.

"Say yes to her. I also want to go into the city to clear my head," Gu Qing suddenly transmitted his voice.

The two people's telepathic communication was useless to him.

Liu Ruyi's elaborate scheme must be hiding a bad idea, but Gu Qing wasn't worried at all.

At worst, we can unleash the Cosmic Tower and destroy the entire Great Qing Empire in one strike.

"Thank you!"

Liu Ruyan pursed her lips, deeply moved.

"Don't mention it, let's go into town."

Gu Qing led her into the city, completely ignoring Liu Yuanzhong and the assembled civil and military officials.

"Hahaha, my foolish sister, you've been tricked again!" Liu Ruyi was overjoyed and immediately sent a message to have Granny Gong released.

"My dear sister, your only support is Gu Qing. If he becomes my devoted follower, you will be filled with despair, won't you?"
