I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 400 - 69: Who Dares to Block My Path Courts Death

Chapter 400: Chapter 69: Who Dares to Block My Path Courts Death

After a moment of silence, she said, "I only want the Qianyuan Golden Tripod. As long as you give it up, I can immediately release your mother."

Chu Tiange remained silent, the Mountain and River Map overlapped with the moonlight, as if it was going to manifest the Map of Mountains and Rivers, with the North Nether Abyss raging, terrifying aura filled the eight directions, enveloping the entire Central Capital in heavy rain.

"Qi Lingxi, do you really want to tear our relationship apart?"

Upon hearing her name from him, Qi Lingxi knew that Chu Tiange was truly angry. This man always maintained a calm demeanor, as if nothing could ever affect him.

He possessed a temperament as gentle as a breeze and as bright as the moon, much like his father, Zhang Zhijing.

But now...

She felt an indescribable panic in her heart, but ultimately, greed triumphed over reason. Without the Qianyuan Golden Tripod, she had no chance of opposing Chu Tiange, let alone seizing the position of Sect Leader.

"Chu Tiange, your strength is already formidable. Even without the Qianyuan Golden Tripod, it shouldn’t matter much to you."

"Are you really going to sacrifice your mother’s life for a mere treasure?"

"Fine, very well, excellent!" Chu Tiange instead displayed a smile, but his eyes were as cold as an ancient glacier, "I never thought my fiancée would use my mother’s life to threaten me."

"Qi Lingxi, I can’t believe I didn’t see your ambition and venomous heart, I must have been blind all along."

"Isn’t it the Qianyuan Golden Tripod you want?"

"Very well, I’ll give you a chance, you and I will duel. If you can defeat me, I will hand over the Qianyuan Golden Tripod, how about that?"

Qi Lingxi was unmoved, "I know I’m not your match, but I am determined to get the Qianyuan Golden Tripod. Choose between the treasure or your mother’s life, it’s up to you."

As she spoke, she continued to harness the power of the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre to refine the Qianyuan Golden Tripod.

Time slowly passed, nearly all of the thirty-three layers of the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre were shrouded by the power of the North Nether Abyss, as if the heavens were angry, thunder and lightning exploded endlessly in the Nine Heavens, the rain fell even heavier, the thick clouds weighed down heavily on people’s chests.

Simultaneously, outside the Central Capital, from the south and north, two figures slowly appeared.

The person approaching from the south wore a black python robe, a golden crown and jade belt, his face stern, heroic and extraordinary, with iron boots, and a golden cloak flapping loudly in the storm.

He held in his hand a jet-black spear engraved with flame patterns, treading through the void step by step, gradually approaching the Central Capital.

In the north, Xiang Qingchi wore a white dress, draped with a green veil, her hair styled into a celestial bun, tied with a silk ribbon, hanging down to her knees, pure and elegant.

She stood upon a Flood Dragon, wielding a golden whip, roaring proudly into the sky.

...

In the Grotto Heaven of Taiwu.

Yi Hongchen quietly observed everything unfolding, based on the original script, it would take several months for these two true dragons to come to the Central State.

But the strangeness in ’Yi Wushuang’ made her feel that something was beyond her control, so after some deductions, she simply lifted the curtain early, letting everything happen ahead of time.

"Two true dragons appearing, unless one can obtain the Qianyuan Golden Tripod, there’s no way anyone could be their match."

"These two true dragons are improving and advancing every day, with no bottleneck or obstruction, they have now already cultivated the embryonic form of Divine Techniques, reaching the Ninth Layer of Celestial Human state."

"If they reclaim their dragon bodies, they could immediately ascend."

"No matter what calculations lie behind, in the face of absolute power, his choices are limited..."

"Either he comes down personally, or he must seize the Qianyuan Golden Tripod."

Yi Hongchen, seated high within the Grotto Heaven, gazed down upon the happenings in the mundane world, she had planned for hundreds of years in advance, wielding advantages far greater than others from outside.

"That old bald donkey must be a grievously wounded Immortal Monarch, a Great Power who has cultivated a Dharma Form, with foundations and methods surpassing mine."

"But, this is the Red County, not the Divine State!"

She watched the standoff between ’Yi Wushuang’ and Chu Tiange within the Ten Thousand Forms Massacre, watched as Prince of Danyang Liu Wu and Princess of Youdu Xiang Qingchi swiftly approached the Central State.

"Yi Wushuang, that brat, actually had Qi Lingxi act in his stead, while he himself hid away, even I cannot sense his whereabouts now..."

Yi Hongchen’s eyes swept across, utilizing the power of the Grotto Heaven and Divine Techniques, she could survey the entire Thirteen States of the Red County, but could not sense the aura of ’Yi Wushuang’.

"Could it be I misjudged back then?"

"The real issue isn’t Chu Tiange, but him?"

Yi Hongchen, while controlling the development of the situation, was silently deducing everything.

"The situation is not chaotic enough yet, I might as well add more fuel to the fire."

With a wave of her hand, a woman in white appeared before her from behind, coldly speaking, "Servant greets the True Monarch." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Yi Hongchen instructed, "Go and visit the mundane world, and kill all those from the Yuncang Sword Sect on Jade Dragon Mountain for me. Since Lu Chengfeng is reluctant to show up, there’s no need to waste time with him anymore."

"Yes, True Monarch." The woman in white carried a crimson gold Ancient Sword on her back, the sword’s blade flowing with Nanming Lihuo, the firelight reflected on her jade-like clear face, making her appear even more graceful and ethereal.

This woman was Zhu Yuxian, whom Yi Hongchen had once taken away.

At this moment, her eyes showed no emotion whatsoever, as if she were a puppet forged from ice and snow. After receiving her orders, she transformed into a Sword Light, left the Grotto Heaven, and descended to the Lower Realm.
