Chapter 114: Chapter 113: Who Is the Mysterious Person?

On the Ascending Immortality Lake.

The Empress who was in her imperial robes furrowed her eyebrows slightly, her face turning somewhat serious.

The Human Emperor Sword in her hand was filled with starlight but remained held across her chest, not swung.

Because the enemy she was supposed to strike was no longer in front of her.

Just as she raised the Human Emperor Sword, preparing to gather the power of the sun, moon, and stars, something unexpected happened.

The small pavilion in the middle of the lake shattered, and the stone tablet engraved with the characters “Ascending Immortality Lake” was covered in cracks, turning into dust after a light breeze.

Immediately after that, a beam of light shot up into the sky, turning the night into day.

The Empress knew what this meant.

The sealing formation had been broken, and the Netherqueen was freed from her restraint in the Ascending Immortality Lake.

The former Monarch of the Netherkin Nation, with her peak Tribulation Crossing cultivation, finally broke free from the late Immortal Nation Emperor restraint placed on the bottom of the Ascending Immortality Lake.

Not only did she realize this, but any cultivator present with a bit of insight could guess the same possibility.

The Tribulation Crossing stage Ape Netherkin, whose body was now fully visible, laughed heartily and punched out twice to force away the Immortal Nation Tribulation Crossing experts. Then, it took two steps back and exploded.

The explosion of its Origin Form shocked all the cultivators present.

Following that, the strange light lit up on all the other Netherkin present. In just an instant, their figures vanished, and no one knew where they had gone.

Even the two Tribulation Crossing stage cultivators from the Immortal Nation couldn’t react in time.

’As expected, there are more than 1 Tribulation Crossing expert hidden inside the Immortal Nation.’

Just as Luo Wusheng had speculated, the Empress had delayed her arrival to keep these Netherkin Nation soldier holed up inside the Royal City; presumably, when she swung her sword, she would use the power of the sun, moon, and stars to suppress the entire area, cutting off the Netherkin escape route.

Following that, the two Tribulation Crossing cultivators and a large group of Nascent Soul stage guards would simultaneously make their move, which are more than enough to suppress all of these Netherkin.

But as they say, accidents happen suddenly and irrationally.

Watching the pillar of light slowly dissipate, the Immortal Nation cultivators surrounding the Ascending Immortality Lake seemed unsure of what to do.

“…There’s no aura at the bottom of the lake; the Netherqueen has completely broken free from the sealing formation.”

The white-haired old Tribulation Crossing cultivator, who had been entangled with the Ape Netherkin earlier, appeared next to the Empress in an instant, a hint of disappointment in his green eyes. “The luck of the human race that was suppressed is no longer there, so—”

“It doesn’t matter,” the Empress replied indifferently.

She knew what the white haired old man was sighing about.

The human luck that is suppressed alongside the Netherqueen was something the previous Immortal Nation Emperor had planned to refine and is planned to be used to make a breakthrough to the Land Immortal stage, it’s something that is greatly beneficial for both the late Emperor, and her, the Empress.

If she could refine this human luck and absorb it, she would be able to instantly make a breakthrough to the Tribulation Crossing realm, and would have a far much easier time becoming a Land Immortal.

However, she didn’t care too much about this.

’Who was the new powerful Netherkin that sneaked into the lake? How could they silently enter the formation and break it in such a short time?’

Or was there someone else helping the Netherkin?

But to achieve something like this, they should be at least a Grandmaster at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing stage, right?

Indeed, these Netherkin Nation soldiers must have some special means to dare to break the sealing formation. If not for the unexpected help from the Demon Sect Holy Saint tonight, the Immortal Nation might not have had the chance to stop them at all…

The Netherkin who helped the Netherqueen escape must be taken seriously in the future.

The Empress closed her eyes slightly, and the starlight on the Human Emperor Sword in her hand gradually faded.

Hmm?

She felt that the power of the sun, moon, and stars she had called upon this time was slightly stronger than before— Was it just an illusion? Or were the powers of the stars and the moon really more abundant than usual tonight?

She didn’t pay much attention to such details at the moment.

Now was not the time to be concerned about such trivial matters.

After putting away the Human Emperor Sword, the Empress looked over the Ascending Immortality Lake. The powerful cultivators from the Immortal Nation were all silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Was the Netherqueen breaking free a blessing or a curse?

At least these cultivators recognized that if they were inexplicably sealed and suppressed for several years by someone claiming to plan to use them to ascend to a higher realm, they would definitely not bear no grudge.

“Perhaps the Netherqueen breaking free is not necessarily a bad thing, now that the Netherkin Nation have a new Monarch, there might be some internal disputes between the newly freed Netherqueen and the Netherking…” muttered a Nascent Soul cultivator.

But no one responded.

The fact that a powerful veteran Tribulation Crossing cultivator might become an enemy of the Immortal Nation made it difficult for them to be optimistic.

As the Empress watched this scene, she couldn’t help but sigh softly.

If the previous Immortal Nation Emperor, who was a Peak Tribulation Crossing stage expert, was still in power, the situation would probably not be like this.

No matter how outstanding her talents were, she was still only at the early stage of Nascent Soul.

But since things had come to this point, as the ruler of a country, she couldn’t just sit idle.

’Hmm… After breaking free from her sealing formation, the Netherqueen will probably need some time to recover her cultivation…’

’Compared to her, I need to pay more attention to the Netherking who clearly has some insidious plan for the Immortal Nation’

’Thankfully, tonight’s events also showed that the Netherking and the Netherqueen don’t share the same interests. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy to eliminate the hidden Netherkin Nation soldier tonight…’

After thinking all of that, another figure appeared in the Empress’s mind.

The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect.

He provided vast energy from all living beings and the power of mountains and rivers to help her eliminate the Netherkin Nation Nascent Soul soldier. He also intercepted the escaping Goat Netherkin afterwards…

If it weren’t for the events with the Netherqueen breaking free tonight, the young man who had just taken the spotlight would probably be the center of discussion.

The Empress couldn’t help but wonder about the identity of the mysterious person who rescued the Netherqueen…

Shaking her head gently, she realized that after resolving tonight’s events, she needed to meet the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect properly with her identity as the Empress.

…

At this moment, on a formation platform.

Figures surrounded by mysterious light emerged from the platform.

The first to appear was a slightly thin long-armed Ape Netherkin. He stood up and his originally crimson eyes turned green.

“Haha, Haha, Wonderful! Wonderful!”

Excitement shone in his eyes.

Similarly, various other powerful Netherkin appeared from the light.

Among them, a small group remained in their complete Origin Forms like the Ape Netherkin, while the majority appeared in their Humanoid form, looking like normal humans while still retaining some beast-like features, such as wings, antlers, scales, cat ears.

At this moment, almost all the Netherkin present were filled with excitement.

They were not excited about anything else; it was just that their plan had succeeded, and they had successfully lifted the restraint on the Netherqueen!

However, among them, there was a young girl dressed in light green attire, appearing no different from a normal human. She seemed out of place due to being absent-minded, unlike her companion who are excited.

With a vacant look in her eyes, she watched the ecstatic Netherkin on the formation platform.

The Netherqueen has already broken free from the sealing formation?

But I didn’t even meet the Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower, who was supposed to help me, at all!

Didn’t we agree that I would release the seal on the Netherqueen with the help of the Tower Master?

If I didn’t do it, then who rescued the Netherqueen?

Isn’t there something wrong here?
