Chapter 17: Favorable outcome
There was no reason to refuse such an offer. In addition, the woman in the white and blue dress was well aware that the man would most likely not survive. Of course, she understood the connections of the Merchants Guild, it was very dangerous to take the loot in quiet. If this comes up, then there is no escaping the persecution.
The Slayer has not yet managed to leave this place too far. He calmly go into the imperial palace without disturbing anyone, when suddenly a gust of cold wind swept and a woman appeared in front of him. Her entire face could not be seen due to the veil she was wearing, but there was no doubt that she had the correct features.
- Give me everything you took .I'll tell them, so they will not pursue. This will be the best way out. - the woman's voice was soft, but her gaze was cold, not displaying any obvious emotions.
The Slayer only pushed her to the side, thereby clearing his way. Now it was necessary to get to the imperial palace and then visit the hidden heavenly lake, and only then find a suitable sect for the manufacture of medicines.
Naturally, such a rough treatment did not like the cold woman. She immediately began to attack and from her hands spiky icicles materialized, flying into the back of the enemy.
The Slayer reacted instantly, his body deftly evading all attacks. The woman was momentarily confused by what was happening, because he was only at an Nascent Profound Realm. But it was already too late and she could only build a barrier of ice in front of her.
Boom!
Like fragile glass, the barrier could not stand it and collapsed, followed by a blow with a hand directly into the woman's chest.
Crunch!
All of the ribs shattered and the girl's body flew into the wall of the Traders Guild. The veil flew off her head revealing a truly beautiful face with blue eyes. She did not immediately rise to her feet, she suffered both physical and spiritual damage.
- This is... Chu Yue Chan, the fairy of icy beauty!
I must say, the seven fairies of the palace of the ice cloud were widely known, their appearance was rare. Their beauty conquered many men, even the master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, was once in love with her. The Divine Palace was famous not only for being one of the strongest sects, but also for accepting only female disciples. Being there is every man's dream.
- You... will know a painful death! - Chu Yue Chan was confident of her victory as she was half a step away from the Emperor Profound Realm. And no matter how ridiculous it sounds. The man in front of her dared to touch her body, it was clean from the touch of men.
The Slayer did not wait for something there, but immediately rushed in her direction.
- Divine tree! - the woman cried out the name of the technique and a huge ice tree grew out of the ground, shackling the hands and feet of the Slayer, preventing him from moving.
Although Chu Yue Chan did not understand how the Nascent Profound Realm practice had hurt her, it didn't matter right now. The woman drew her sword and prepared to chop off her opponent's head.
But.
As soon as she began to swing her sword, the icy shackles shattered, the Slayer dodged and struck a crushing blow right in the face, slamming Chu Yue Chan into the ground.
But it didn't end there. Stepping on the chest of a beautiful woman and grabbing her two hands, the Slayer began to pull them.
- What are you doing. Let go... Ah-ahh! - there was a painful cry of the heavenly fairy. Her arms were twisted and then completely pulled away from her body.
Crunch! Crunch!
AAAA !!
Without finally finishing off her. The Slayer threw his severed hands and went to the imperial palace. The crowd parted to the sides where the Slayer passed.
The Trade Guild watchers hadn't expected this turn of events. To do so cruel to a fairy of icy beauty...
- Elder Qiao. What do we do? - The guild maid asked.
- Let's send a message to the main headquarters. Let them deal with what is happening themselves.
Kha!
Chu Yue Chan was still alive. With a blank look, she rose to her knees, dark crimson blood streaming down her lips and cheeks. Hands cannot be returned, but the cultivation is still in place, freezing her wounds with ice, she flew back to her sect.
***
- Cang Yue. Crown Princes are involved in the struggle for the throne of the Empire of Blue Wind, you will have to go to the ranking tournament with Qin Wu Shan. This is a matter of honor for our imperial family. Because of my damn illness, I cannot go with you. I don't know how much I still have left...
- Father, don't worry. Your daughter has never let you down. - Cang Yue replied softly.
- That person you spoke about, has not come yet? - Cang Wan remembered the mysterious figure that his daughter had mentioned.
- I don't think he will return.
But then their conversation was interrupted by one of the guards who opened the door to the emperor's chambers.
- Your Majesty! An unknown man burst into the imperial palace! We tried to stop him, but he was stronger.
Cang Yue already guessed who it might be, but nevertheless decided to clarify:
- What does he look like?
- He is completely covered in green armor. Its cultivation is at the 10th level of the Nascent Profound Realm. But his true strength is far beyond that level!
Cang Yue thought a little. Last time its cultivation was at an elementary stage. So all this is true and now his true power should be at least 2 times more powerful.
Cang Yue hurried downstairs to calm the guards down. To her surprise, she heard the angry voice of the crown prince.
- Well, dare to kill me! I have friendly relations with the young master of the Burning Gates of Heaven sect! - Cang Shu, despite being held by the throat, was not at all afraid. But this time he met with someone who knows no fear.
Pam!
The Slayer squeezed his hand, and the head of the prince of the blue wind empire detached from his body.
The eyelids still continued to twitch for a while after death. The Slayer symbolically straightened the wreath on the prince's head and threw down his skull.
This unexpected outcome was only beneficial to Cang Yue. The fight for the throne could now be won. Only the last prince remained, who had close ties with the Xiao sect, which in turn had a feud with the Slayer.
"On the one hand, his hot temper can be exploited. You just need the right approach." - insidious plans were born in the head of Cang Yue.
- Madam! Get out faster! - One of the guards warned.
But Cang Yue waved her hand to indicate that the situation was still under control.
- Ah. We didn't know you were coming right now. - Cang Yue came closer with a warm smile.
- When are we leaving?
- Tomorrow. In the morning. Wait at the main entrance to the Blue Wind Academy. - Cang Yue replied politely.
After waiting for the Slayer to leave, Cang Yue returned to her father's chambers.
- How did everything go?
- He killed Cang Shu and some of his subordinates.
- This is not surprising, - Father Cang Yue continued with a heavy sigh. - Dong Fang Xiu tell her.
Dong Fang Xiu was the personal bodyguard of the emperor, his development was half a step from the imperial level. Recently, he felt a surge of energy of the same level near the academy and the trade guild, but he could not make it in time, as the battle ended too quickly. But according to eyewitnesses and Elder Qiao, they managed to get a detailed picture of what happened.
Cang Yue knew the man was crazy, but that he was so... Ice Cloud Palace, the Merchants Guild, and the Xiao Sect. One enemy is worse than the last. It is not known how else they will react to the publicly recognized first beauty of the Blue Wind Empire, who is now left without arms and was half disfigured.
- Cang Yue. Just bring him to the Heavenly Sword area as you promised. We still won't be able to take the first places in the tournament. - Cang Wan He gave instructions to his daughter and added in a serious tone. - If someone wants to finish him off. Do not try to interfere.
- Dad, don't worry, rumors haven't spread that fast yet. He will be present with us as a spectator. The tournament will be attended by various sect masters and sooner or later he will be recognized, and if this happens, Qin Wu Shu and I will leave the site for the tournament.
- I think this will be the most beneficial outcome for us. - Dong Fang Xiu supported Cang Yue's plan.
Cang Wan He walked to the window looking around the imperial city. If everything goes perfectly and the master of the Xiao sect dies, then his daughter will receive unlimited power after his imminent death. Cang Lin will not interfere with this since the Xiao sect will no longer have time for him.
- Good. Do as you like. After all, you may soon become Empress of the Empire.
