"Hmm..."

The woman in the red robe’s eyes turned cold, and she huffed lightly. To Old Daoist Cang Wu, who was listening, it sounded like thunderous anger. Suddenly, his vision blurred, his chest pained sharply, and his body violently shook. He was thrown seventeen or eighteen zhang away, crashing into three towering trees during his flight.

Falling onto the muddy grassy ground and before he could get up, Old Daoist Cang Wu spat out a mouthful of hot blood and saw a red maple leaf embedded three inches into his chest.

This leaf was not a deadly weapon, but a real, fragile leaf.

In the Red Leaf Palace, some peculiar maple trees were planted, though it’s unknown whom they reminded one of or whom they were remembering.

Everyone knew that the Holy Mother had a particular fondness for red maple leaves, spending time every month sitting under the trees, twiddling with the leaves, and lost in her thoughts.

Although her actions were strange, no one dared to ask even an extra half a question.

Those who did ask had all become fertilizers under the trees.

"Little Wu, since I adopted you, Xueyan, and Feng Ling at the age of eight, you three have been outstanding, possessing talents and comprehension far beyond ordinary children."

"After so many years, honestly, I am somewhat disappointed that you haven’t found the opportunity to break through True Martial, but I haven’t completely lost hope in you. This time coincides with the millennium Spirit Tide, it’s my opportunity, and also yours, stop playing petty tricks..."

The Holy Mother Hong Ye’s face softened and she became more amiable, like a next-door big sister, yet it made Old Daoist Cang Wu feel a chill in his heart.

He knew that when the Holy Mother was in this mood, she was very angry.

It was very likely that she would kill at the slightest provocation.

Even though he had followed her for over a hundred years, she wouldn’t hesitate to kill him if she wanted to.

In fact, in the mind of Holy Mother Hong Ye, there was no one under heaven who could not be killed.

"Your subordinate was merely momentarily enthused by the hunt and did not encourage the Holy Mother to fight desperately with Zhou Ping’an... Your subordinate deserves to die, please forgive me, Holy Mother..."

As a Heavenly Resonance Rank Grandmaster, Old Daoist Cang Wu acted as innocent as a hundred-year-old child, his eyes filled with grievance and pleading.

He argued his case but immediately changed his tune, admitting his fault and begging for mercy.

As expected, Holy Mother Hong Ye’s expression hardened again, and she huffed coldly, "Don’t play smart, and don’t treat everyone as fools. If you were a bit smarter back then, maybe you would have broken through the True Martial Divine Aperture at the last moment when the Spirit Tide receded, instead of lingering for a hundred years."

She listened attentively to the continued loud cheers from a distant city, a hint of unusualness flashing in her eyes.

After a moment of thought, she said earnestly, "You might not understand how strong you can become once you’ve transformed from Form Refining into Illusion to Real Form in True Martial Second Realm. You would be able to turn a hundred zhang around you into a Law Domain, commanding the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, and practically, no one could kill you beyond your level..."

"Moreover, before transforming into Real Form, Form Refining into Illusion is just an illusion; it can at most assist in mobilizing Heaven and Earth Vital Energy and condense True Yuan to attack the enemy. Once you achieve Real Form, the beast you refine will transform the void into reality, possessing the immense Divine Power like Ancient Fierce Beasts, capable of infinite mighty power, slaying enemies and breaking armies as if mowing the lawn...

Yet in such a situation, Zhou Ping’an was able to resist and directly kill you on the spot with his formidable physique and unmatched divine strength. Have you ever thought about how strong the power Zhou Ping’an displayed was, and what level his attack power had reached?"

Hearing this, Old Daoist Cang Wu’s back was covered in cold sweat again.

He realized in astonishment that Holy Mother Hong Ye was actually apprehensive.

An apprehension that went deep into her bones.

Yes, why couldn’t he fully understand such a simple truth?

Holy Mother Hong Ye herself had not long achieved True Martial Real Form, and speaking of it, though she might be stronger than Zhang Taiyan, it wasn’t by much.

There was no fundamental difference in essence.

Since Zhang Taiyan had failed under Zhou Ping’an’s hands, relying on Substitute Puppet and Blood Escape to flee, barely saving his life after much difficulty.

Then, if Holy Mother Hong Ye were to confront Zhou Ping’an,

How much better could her situation be?

He had looked down on Zhou Ping’an, thinking of letting Holy Mother Hong Ye take advantage of his illness and kill him, considering only his own benefits.

But he had never considered the Holy Mother’s safety.

This was a grave mistake.

As he realized this, he suddenly knelt down and cried, "Your subordinate was too selfish and too ignorant, fortunate that the Holy Mother has always guided me, otherwise I would have committed a terrible mistake."

"Enough, get up. We can’t plot against Pinghu for now. Fortunately, they are unstable internally, and when they attack each other, there will be a good show to watch.

Moreover, something about Cui Guangling in Guangyun County seems off. Just getting close to his estate gives me a feeling of dread...

With that fellow constraining and plotting nearby, whether Zhou Ping’an can survive this challenge remains uncertain. We don’t need to interfere for now. Even if he does survive this, Lotus Heart Wretch has suffered great losses at his hands and must be itching with hatred.

This tough nut, it’s not my turn to deal with. Let Lotus Heart Wretch worry, hehe..."

Saying this, a gentle smile appeared on Holy Mother Hong Ye’s face. Turning her head westward, "Now, about Xiao Yuanfang, if he truly comes to Huangze, I’d naturally retreat. To think he sent two vanguard generals, expecting me to spit out the territory I’ve swallowed, he really underestimates Red Leaf Palace."

"Holy Mother intends to?"

"Are you dumb, Little Wu..."

Holy Mother Hong Ye glanced at Old Daoist Cang Wu, increasingly annoyed, and slapped his ear.
