840 Crisis in the Queen City

The queen stepped into the void step by step. Dressed in a splendorous robe, she slowly walked into the sky. She was like a goddess, filled with a noble and holy aura.

Even the Chaotic Perfected Persons, who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, could not remain unmoved in the face of the queen’s beauty. They lamented inwardly that such a beautiful person was about to fall this day.

With the appearance of the queen, the Queen City fell into silence again. No one panicked, no one was fearful, and no one took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. The entire Queen City became incomparably calm at this moment.

This was the queen. Her prestige in the Black Moon Kingdom was displayed fully at this moment!

“Remnants of the Huang family!”

The queen’s’ beautiful eyes swept across the crowd in the air.

“Hmph, Mu Qing, your Black Moon Kingdom destroyed my Huang family. Today is the day the Huang family’s grudge is avenged. You could destroy my Huang family, but you can’t destroy all the aristocratic families in the world!”

A figure walked out from the crowd. It was the surviving member of the Huang family that Mu Qing had mentioned.

“Huang Wentian, since you were lucky enough to escape, and even metamorphosed into a Chaotic Perfected Person, you should have concealed your identity or leave the Incendium Continent. Do you not know why your Huang family was taken down?

“The Huang family governed 31 cities. They use the Spirit Selection Technique to select talented individuals among the common people, and sent them into the Huang family’s Soul-Depriving Pool, depriving them of their talents. Your Huang family used the Soul-Depriving Pool to continuously grant the Huang family’s disciples extraordinary talents. How can I tolerate such cruel actions?

“You can ask everyone right here, right now, if the Huang family deserved to be taken down.”

Although there was no trace of anger in the queen’s voice, her cold eyes had already expressed the hatred in her heart.

“The Huang family deserved to be taken down!”

Countless people from Queen City below shouted loudly. The Huang family’s actions were simply unforgivable.

Huang Wentian’s face paled slightly. In fact, what were the Huang family’s actions to aristocratic families? In his eyes, weren’t ordinary people meant to be enslaved?

However, he did not expect that what he thought was natural would become the cause of the Huang family’s destruction.

“Mu Qing, you can say that the Huang family deserved to be destroyed, but what about my Yu family? Hehe, just for the sake of a mine, you sent the Black Moon Kingdom’s imperial army to destroy the Yu family, taking over the mine by force.”

The queen looked at the man who spoke. He was also a Chaotic Perfected Person, and he was an ancestor of the Yu family.

The Black Moon Kingdom had destroyed countless factions, but there were still some that slipped through the net. For example, the Yu family’s ancestor was a Chaotic Perfected Person, and he had a rare treasure that allowed him to successfully escape from the array formed by the Black Moon Kingdom’s imperial guards.

After that, the Yu family’s’s ancestor went around looking for trouble with the Black Moon Kingdom, giving them quite a headache.

The queen glanced at the Yu family’s’s ancestor, but her voice gradually turned cold. “Ancestor Yu, did my Black Moon Kingdom eradicate the Yu family over the mine? It seems that Ancestor still doesn’t know that the direct descendants of your Yu family cultivated the Yin Depriving Technique. They constantly captured female cultivators and plundered their cultivation bases. Some of them were even tortured to death. Of all the wrong things, your Yu family’s descendants actually dared to come to the Black Moon Kingdom and commit atrocities. All the people of my Black Moon Kingdom are cultivators, including women. When they were targeted by your Yu family’s descendants, over a hundred female cultivators were brutally killed.

“If I don’t exterminate your Yu family after such heinous acts, how can there be justice? Would the authority of my Black Moon Kingdom still stand?”

When Ancestor Yu heard this, his face turned pale, but he also fell silent and did not refute. In fact, he was not really ignorant. As the high and mighty patriarch of the Yu family, he had also heard some rumors.

However, he didn’t care. It was precisely because he didn’t care that he allowed the Yu family’s disciples to do whatever they wanted, leading to disaster, and bringing about the end of the Yu family.

“As for the Li, Qian, and Zhao families, do you still need me to announce all the ignominious acts of your families?”

The queen’s gaze was sharp as a blade, sweeping across everyone, causing the faces of these Chaotic Perfected Persons to darken.

However, no matter what their family or faction did wrong, the Black Moon Kingdom was the main culprit. This was not a matter of right or wrong, but a matter of standpoint!

“Heh, the queen’s debate skills are exceptional. I am impressed!”

Suddenly, an old man with white hair and beard spoke. As soon as he spoke, everyone looked at him.

“Perfected Person Skyshroud, do you really want to interfere in this matter? As I recall, the Black Moon Kingdom has no conflicts or disputes with you.”

The queen narrowed her eyes slightly. Clearly, she was extremely wary of this Perfected Person Skyshroud. Almost everyone knew about the all-powerful Perfected Person Skyshroud of the Incendium Continent.

He was a powerful entity that had stood tall in the Incendium Continent for hundreds of thousands of years, a top advanced Chaotic lifeform that might break through to become a peak Chaotic lifeform at any time.

Even the few peak Chaotic Perfected Persons on the Incendium Continent would give such an expert some respect. Unless necessary, the queen did not wish to enter a conflict with Perfected Person Skyshroud either.

“Queen, I’m a cultivator from the wilderness. I shouldn’t have gotten involved in this matter, but I also have some disciples and grand-disciples. They also have relatives and friends. Now that these relatives and friends have come to me for help, how can I stay out of it?”

Perfected Person Skyshroud sighed, as if he was unwilling to see this situation as well.

“Heh, what a joke. Since we’re on different sides, why are you putting on an act? Perfected Person Skyshroud, if you were alone today, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to do anything to me!”

Queen Mu Qing’s long robe fluttered, and a trace of pride and confidence flashed in her cold eyes. Apart from being the queen of the Black Moon Kingdom, she was also a famed advanced Chaotic lifeform.

Perhaps she had not fought for a long time, and some people had already forgotten how powerful she was, but she knew very well that Perfected Person Skyshroud could not do anything to her.

“Huh?”

The smile on Perfected Person Skyshroud’s face gradually faded, and his voice turned cold. “Of course. No matter how arrogant I am, I won’t assume that I can destroy Queen City alone. However, what if I include three old friends of mine?”

As soon as Perfected Person Skyshroud finished speaking, three rays of starlight shone in the sky. Then, dazzling pillars of starlight pierced through the void.

As the starlight dissipated, three figures appeared behind Perfected Person Skyshroud.

An old man with white hair and a youthful face was wearing a sky-blue robe. He had a graceful bearing and an otherworldly aura. Surprisingly, he was the famous Perfected Person Etheric in the Incendium Continent.

The other middle-aged man was tall and well-built. His face was chiseled, faintly giving off an extremely harsh feeling. This person was also famous. He was Perfected Person Mountain Range, the Pagoda Master of the Mountain Range Pagoda in the Incendium Continent.

The last person was a beautiful woman with an enchanting figure in pink. Large swaths of snow-white skin were revealed on her entire body, and she was indescribably alluring. The queen was all too familiar with this person. She was Perfected Person Red Garb, the queen’s past archenemy who had once stirred up trouble in the Black Moon Kingdom, forcing the queen to personally take action to repel her.

All of these four Perfected Persons were not inferior to the queen. In fact, they were even stronger! For example, Perfected Skyshroud, Perfected Ethereous, and Perfected Person Mountain Range were all at the apex of advanced Chaotic lifeforms. Only Perfected Person Red Garb was slightly weaker, but her life-preservation abilities were also very strong. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to stay alive despite causing trouble in the Black Moon Kingdom several times.

These four Perfected Persons were gathered here today with the intention of killing the queen for certain.

Furthermore, the four Perfected Persons were not the only ones who came to Queen City this time. There were other ordinary Chaotic Perfected Persons, such as those from the Huang family and the Yu family previously. Many ordinary Chaotic Perfected Persons were also involved.

All of them were eager to destroy the Black Moon Kingdom. Since there were the four great Perfected Persons taking the lead, what was there to be afraid of? Therefore, they all joined in one after another. This was how the great calamity of the Queen City today came about.

Now that the great calamity was imminent, could the Queen City still be saved?

Even if the queen had always created miracles and led the Black Moon Kingdom to its current state, when had the Black Moon Kingdom ever encountered a great calamity like today?

There were four advanced Chaotic Perfected Persons, Perfected Person Skyshroud, Perfected Person Ethereous, Perfected Person Mountain Range, and Perfected Person Red Garb, as well as dozens of ordinary Chaotic Perfected Persons. Such a lineup could sweep through almost all forces in the entire Incendium Continent, unless a peak Chaotic Perfected Person stepped in.

Most of them had some enmity with the Black Moon Kingdom, but not any life-and-death feud. However, they still joined the siege of the Black Moon Kingdom.

This was the price the Black Moon Kingdom had to pay for its ascension to power. On the Incendium Continent, the queen’s Black Moon Kingdom was practically a universal enemy. If the queen did not have the strength to suppress the cultivators of the Incendium Continent…

Then, the only thing that awaited the Black Moon Kingdom was its fall!

However, the queen did not give up easily. She looked at the vast and terrifying aura of the cultivators led by the four Perfected Persons in the void, and a smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

“After waiting for so long, this day has finally arrived! It would come sooner or later. Then, what does it matter if arrives a little sooner or a little later? The Black Moon Kingdom is my heart and soul, my lifelong goal, the extension of my ideals, and above all, it’s my path!

“Therefore, even if I fall into eternal damnation, I will not give up easily! Come, even if you are very strong, the Queen City is not so weak!”

The queen lifted her head, and the dense arrays set up in Queen City were instantly activated.
