Chapter 858: 713

The temperament of this woman does not seem like that of a mere maid. How could the madam let such a girl be a bridal attendant for Jiang Hanyun?

※※※※

Simultaneously, in Nanjing City.

In the Zhuque Hall of the Liudao Division at Zhuque House, Qiu Qianqiu stood with his hands on his back, gazing distantly towards the Capital City.

Regret and melancholy were evident in his eyes as he lamented missing Li Xuan’s wedding day, unable to attend personally.

Qiu Qianqiu, having no sons of his own, had always treated Li Xuan as his child. Yet, on the most crucial occasion of Li Xuan’s life, he could only be absent.

After a long while, Qiu Qianqiu finally withdrew his gaze. Then, his figure flickered, moving to the space above Zhuque House, into that peculiar bubble-like space.

At the same moment, the observation Array within the ’bubble’ unfolded in layers, aiding Qiu Qianqiu in monitoring the day’s changes in the ’Heaven Gap’.

This was a task Qiu Qianqiu performed daily, he even monitored the ’Heaven Gap’ every Shichen, keeping vigil over any anomalies constantly.

Though the Heaven Gap itself posed no danger, the divine powers that seeped through from it did. They typically followed the will of those from the Extreme Heaven, Holy Heaven, and Divine Heavenly level.

Just then, Qiu Qianqiu’s expression abruptly shifted, and he frowned in the direction of Wuhu.

The Heaven Gap in Wuhu had expanded slightly.

It was not unusual for the ’Heaven Gap’ to expand; they had been expanding daily recently.

The issue was that he had recently sent Wang Shouyi, the Fumo Zhonglangjiang of Zhuque Hall, there with an immortal treasure bestowed by the Headquarters to deal with this ’Heaven Gap’—

Qiu Qianqiu frowned, then without hesitation, flashed out of the bubble space and headed straight for Wuhu.

Although Qiu Qianqiu did not possess a flying magical instrument like the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Pimo Divine Shuttle, which could travel tens of thousands of li in a day, once he utilized the great Juemie power, his figure instantly turned into a blazing light, causing several sonic booms through the clouds in a moment.

In just half a moment, Qiu Qianqiu had already arrived at the location of that Heaven Gap.

The Heaven Gap was imperceptible to the human eye, even cultivators below the heavenly level would find it difficult to detect.

Thus, the sky here remained clear with white clouds, and the scenery unchanged.

Upon arriving, Qiu Qianqiu watched a valley with a solemn expression.

The Wuhu area was densely populated, and within this valley spanning several li, there originally had been three small villages.

However, in Qiu Qianqiu’s vision, the three small villages had vanished without a trace, and the fields of rice that had been on the plains disappeared, revealing the black soil beneath.

—It was as if the scene had been erased from a piece of paper.

Qiu Qianqiu’s pupils slightly narrowed, then he sensed something and his expression slightly relaxed.

He sensed the presence of Wang Shouyi and knew that the Zhonglangjiang was still unharmed thus far.

Next, with a disdainful snort, he stretched his hand forward.

As he forcibly tore at the power, numerous fractures appeared in the space before him, like shattered glass, which then explosively disintegrated.

When Qiu Qianqiu stepped inside, he found that he had invaded the space, which was still that very valley.

However, the environment here was a dusky yellow, the three villages had been flattened, leaving only some remnants of ruins, and between the fields lay several sword scars imbued with astonishing Sword Intent.

What incited Qiu Qianqiu’s anger was that, at this moment, Fumo Zhonglangjiang Wang Shouyi was suspended in the center of this space.

He was covered in wounds, barely hanging on to life, not even having the strength to lift his eyelids to glimpse at Qiu Qianqiu.

Qiu Qianqiu immediately reached out his hand, pulling the dying Wang Shouyi to his side, guarding him under his own wing, and then scanned the surroundings from mid-air.

"Come out! Having lured me here, why still hide in secrecy?"

At that moment, a dazzling sword light fell from the sky, within which was a figure wearing a ’Ziweiyuan’ mask and clad in an azure Taoist robe, who bowed in the direction of Qiu Qianqiu, "Jinque Heaven Palace’s lord of Zimei Palace, Wenshifei, has seen Fumo Zongguan."

Qiu Qianqiu was the leader of the Zhuque Hall, but his current formal title was that of the second-rank official, ’Fumo Zongguan,’ bestowed by The Court.

Simultaneously, behind Qiu Qianqiu, two figures, a male and a female, also appeared.

The woman, clad in a white dress with a frosty demeanor and a cold expression, said, "Jinque Heaven Palace’s Li Lianxian greets the Dao friend!"

The man, wearing a Taoist robe with a Xuanwu mask, voiced with a smile, "Jinque Heaven Palace’s lord of Xuanwu Palace, Gui Beihai greets brother Qiu, Fumo Zongguan. Although Gui once heard of the Fumo Zongguan’s renown back when he was the Western pillar of Liudao Division, alas, how could one who was once a celebrated individual become associated with villains?"

"I don’t recognize anyone," Qiu Qianqiu swept his sleeves, his expression cold, "Your palace leaders at Jinque Heaven Palace seem to change rather frequently recently."

"Then perhaps you may recognize me?"

Behind Qiu Qianqiu, a figure silently stepped out from the Void and completely blocked Qiu Qianqiu’s path, "Heavenly Market Palace Master, Guo Jing, at your service!"

"Guo Jing? Are you the Guo Jing from the end of the former Zhao era?" Qiu Qianqiu was slightly stunned, then looked incredulously at the several people in front of him.

He wondered if these people from Jinque Heaven Palace had gone mad. Could they really have released the seal on this notorious heretic from the era between the two Zhao?

"It seems you know me," Guo Jing cracked a smile, revealing sharp chilling white teeth, "I was ordered to take Fumo Zongguan’s life! Only if Fumo Zongguan meets his end in the Underworld today, can I sit securely as the master of the Heavenly Market Palace."

"Begin!"

While the lord of Zimei Palace, Wenshifei, continued to weave the sword formation, locking the Void,

As soon as the sword formation in the Void was ready, he did not intend to delay any longer, and a massive sword light struck down from the sky, "Time is limited, behead this man swiftly!"

At this moment, Qiu Qianqiu watched everything unfold with an indifferent gaze, simultaneously drawing a Divine Token engraved with "Great Emperor of the Highest Heaven Miluo" from his sleeve.

A conflicted expression appeared on his face, but soon he recited the spiritual words, "Venerable Xuanhuang, where the dragon fights the tiger, where the sun and moon illuminate, enlighten my clarity— I invoke the Great Emperor of the Highest Heaven Miluo, lend me your Divine General."

Just as the brilliant sword light fell, the Void behind Qiu Qianqiu suddenly burst open. Instantaneously, numerous chains and a shattered guillotine blade surged forth!
