Chapter 109: Bai Qing’er, Unafraid Of Heaven And Earth

The pupils of the official wife of the Heavenly Emperor, Mu Nanzhi, constricted immediately.

That was Bai Qing’er, the head of the Unorthodox Sect!

Besides the male cultivators who were absolutely captivated by this beautiful woman, the women, regardless of whether it was Changxi, Bai Su, or even Gu Youwei, trapped beneath the Bronze Ancient Mirror, all had a slight change in expression.

The orthodox and the unorthodox were opposing sides!

Since time immemorial, unorthodox sects were ostracized by everyone.

It wasn’t because every member of an unorthodox sect was definitely some devilish character hellbent on destroying the world and bringing harm to others. It was more because such sects often relied on evil or harmful methods of cultivation and went down extreme routes, so most people did not approve of them at all.

The Justice Alliance had called on all Great Emperors to join them in a battle against the Heavenly Emperor.

Even though it was such a huge and difficult endeavor, the unorthodox were not included.

Then again, the Bronze Ancient Mirror holding the Heavenly Emperor down right now was actually something that Ye Chen had borrowed from this woman.

…

“Greetings, Unorthodox Empress,” said Ye Chen with a polite smile as he clasped a hand over his other fist.

But Bai Qing’er ignored him and walked to the Bronze Ancient Mirror.

She stared at the downtrodden man reflected inside with a conflicted look in her eyes.

“Look at their silly faces. You think they are worthy of your love?”

“You were so good to them. Why did you have to treat me like that?”

She murmured to herself unprompted.

Then she turned around, her pose aloof and with great disdain in her eyes.

She looked toward Gu Youwei and scoffed, “Not bad, not bad, your older brother dug his root out for you so that you could continue your cultivation journey. Without him, where would you be today? He treated you like his biological sister, but what about you?”

Gu Youwei was agitated, but she couldn’t find the words to retort.

Then, Bai Qing’er turned toward Bai Su and looked her up and down as she sneered, “He slaughtered thousands and thousands of beings for you, and to save you, he went through the tribulation of the sea of lightning and gave up his Great Emperor dao fruit. And how did YOU treat him?”

Bai Su’s emotions were in turmoil. She opened her mouth, but in the end, nothing came out of it.

Bai Qing’er then looked up at Changxi in the sky and scoffed, “The one I hate the most is you. You always look like a harmless, weak woman. He allowed himself to be insulted and cursed for generations. And what did you do to him?”

She stared at the crowd and used her fair fingers to point at them all, “None of you! None of you are worthy of his efforts!”

“Enough!”

Mu Nanzhi was already having enough of a headache. It never crossed her mind that this woman would suddenly appear here and interfere with things.

“Bai Qing’er, you don’t have the right to say such things about us!”

“He killed your father and caused the collapse of your sect, so you have a feud with him that’s as deep as the sea. If you didn’t harbor hatred toward him, why did you lend us your Bronze Ancient Mirror?” said Mu Nanzhi in a sullen voice.

Bai Qing’er snorted. “At the very least, I’ve never doubted him.”

“I hate him only because he didn’t have me in his heart.”

“I lent all of you this mirror because I wanted him to see how ugly all of you really are. I also wanted him to realize that the only person who understands him is me. I’m the best and only person who should be with him!”

Mu Nanzhi was furious.

The members of the Unorthodox Sect had very extreme personalities, and this woman was the worst.

She knew that Gu Changqing had had many romantic entanglements all his life.

But the most problematic one was this woman.

Despite having a feud with the man, despite the fact that her father was murdered by the Heavenly Emperor, this woman always only had one reason for hating the Heavenly Emperor.

Why didn’t he love her?!

Mu Nanzhi wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Ye Chen cut in first, “Unorthodox Empress, you’ve come because…”

He had a rough idea of the feud between Bai Qing’er and the Heavenly Emperor.

He knew where her hatred stemmed from.

But he was afraid that Bai Qing’er was here to take the mirror back and let the Heavenly Emperor out.

Bai Qing’er didn’t even give Ye Chen a single glance, as though she only had eyes for that one man.

She walked to the mirror and caressed it, like she was trying to caress the man inside through the mirror.

Her gaze was gentle as she murmured, “You do owe me a lot, but none of that is important. I know you have your reasons.”

“I’ve never even doubted you before. I just want to know, why did you never love me?”

“No matter what happens, I will still do some things for you.”

…

Inside the mirror.

Gu Changqing fixed his eyes on this beautiful woman and countless memory fragments began appearing in his mind.

But these fragments were very broken.

“Bai Qing’er…”

As he uttered this name, Gu Changqing’s heart actually trembled for some reason.

As if this name had been hidden extremely deep in his heart before.

“Why do I feel like this…”

Gu Changqing smiled helplessly.

He stared straight at Bai Qing’er. His fuzzy memories told him.

This woman’s abilities were not weak.

The fact that this mirror came from her meant that this woman was still way stronger than even fellow Great Emperors.

Now, Changxi had rebelled, and so had Gu Youwei.

Jiang Minghuang and Bai Su’s hearts wavered too.

If he could get this woman to join his side of the camp too, then he would have a much greater chance of getting out of here.

Gu Changqing felt even more motivated now.

He carefully went through the memory fragments in his mind, then a few moments later, a dramatic story of love and hate began…

…

Inside the mirror.

Gu Changqing walked dejectedly.

He didn’t know where to go and didn’t know what lay ahead.

His heart seemed to be in a daze.

But when he thought about Changxi, he felt that everything he had done was worth it.

Just like that, Gu Changqing kept walking and walking.

Behind him, he left a long, bloody trail.

…

Outside the mirror.

Bai Su and Mu Nanzhi were still fighting in the void.

But the crowd didn’t seemed concerned about this fight between two Great Empresses.

They all turned their attention to the mirror.

As the cultivators stared at that lonely figure in the mirror, they felt so sad and depressed.

“The Heavenly Emperor at this point no longer has any of his human dao cultivation left.”

“How in the world did he get to Great Emperor later on?”

The same question began circling everyone’s hearts again.

But this time, it was a much more puzzling question.

The Heavenly Emperor had gotten rid of his foundational root, destroyed his sword heart, destroyed his Great Emperor dao fruit for Bai Su’s sake, and now because of Changxi and the human race, he had destroyed his human dao cultivation progress.

He was now just any ordinary man with none of the powers he used to have.

Right now, all the cultivators were really itching to find out how in the world Gu Changqing still managed to get to Great Emperor.

Also, how did Bai Qing’er become so extreme?

What happened between them?
