Chapter 661: Chapter 382 Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, the Third Position_1
“Your Majesty!”
In the towering, palace-like mountains that seemed to rest one upon the other, a radiant celestial light exploded. Amid the all-encompassing starlight, a figure, its whole body dazzling and crystalline, bathed in the immortal glow of the celestial light, gradually appeared. Terrifying majesty spread across the sky and poured down.
On both sides of the palace, numerous celestial beings with wings on their back, as if coming from an ancient era, collectively bowed. Those with slightly weaker power submitted to this terrifying pressure by prostrating themselves on the ground. They bowed down with their foreheads touching the ground and dared not even lift their heads.
“Who permitted you to be here?”
From within the Cave Sky appeared Yun Chenglu, the new queen of the Qiong Yu tribe, casting a cold gaze at the numerous members of her tribe who could still stand upright in her presence.
Over half of them had very unfamiliar faces. She could not recall having these Qiong Yu tribe members among her people.
Although they all belonged to the Qiong Yu tribe, she knew exactly why these fellow tribesmen had appeared. Where were these guys when the tribe was weak and threatened from all sides?
Now that they had grown stronger under their sovereign, they all came over. Although she could understand their thoughts to some extent, she despised their familiarity and the close distance they dared to approach.
This meant that the original ruling class of her tribe was almost empty. The Qiong Yu present in front of her with half-remembered faces were perhaps still there due to their respective reservations.
“Chenglu, they are also…”
Among the celestial beings standing in the front row was an old, weathered-looking celestial being about to interject. But before he could finish, a voice laced with mockery cut him off.
“In my tribe, if anyone dared to directly address me by my name, I would skin him alive, break his bones, extract his marrow, and refine his soul to make him realize the consequences of offending the monarch’s majesty!”
In the splendid celestial light that burst forth from the pure white palace, there came a god-like figure from the ancient times, a majesty far surpassing that of the new Qiong Yu queen.
Those celestial beings who were still standing instantly prostrated themselves on the ground, no longer having the strength or the spirit to stand upright, including the elder celestial beings who intended to use their seniority to suppress the new queen.
“If you lack the capability to manage your own subordinates, I can do it for you.”
Following the descent of the winged goddess, a figure gradually appeared, one bearing supreme majesty and an ethereal beauty that surpassed reality—almost dream-like.
Her beauty could make mountains and waters lose their color and the sun and moon lose their light, but compared to her extraordinary beauty, no one dared look directly at her imposing presence—except for the Qiong Yu queen who arrived ahead of her.
“Manage your own people. My tribe doesn’t need your concern!”
Yun Chenglu glanced coldly at the Merfolk Queen. She despised her more than the tribespeople who painstakingly gathered in her presence. The Merfolk Queen served the same sovereign as her.
“I don’t want to meddle in other’s affairs. But if your incompetence interferes with His Majesty’s decree, trouble comes. I don’t hope to be implicated by you and subsequently scolded by His Majesty.”
The Merfolk Queen stated indifferently.
“Incompetence? Even if I were deemed ‘incompetent,’ it would still be a hundred times better than your greed causing trouble for His Majesty!”
Yun Chenglu glared coldly at the Merfolk present in her sight, gently pointing a finger. A thread of celestial light burst forth from her fingertip, turning into an immortal sword pointed directly at the elder celestial being who had just tried to boss her around.
She revealed her murderous intent. The celestial sword that was almost substantial, like a phantom, pierced into the elder’s heavenly spirit. No blood was seen, however in the next instant, the thin celestial light wrapped around the old woman’s body dispersed instantly.
All the celestial beings in the room showed horror on their faces because their new queen had erased the elder’s celestial aura and banished him from their realm.
After falling from the realm, the already elderly form of the celestial being visibly shrank at an alarming speed. His remaining life force quickly drained away in the blink of an eye, turning him into a pile of bones.
“Idiot!”
Watching the elder celestial being who lost his realm and died in a blink of an eye, the Merfolk Queen merely glanced at him and ignored him.
She couldn’t understand how such a person, who couldn’t see the situation clearly and still had the audacity to take advantage of his seniority, managed to cultivate to his current realm. And how he was able to hold a high position within the tribe. It would be more beneficial for the tribe’s development if such a person was eliminated sooner.
“I’m going to sort out my tribe. I really want to see what they’ve turned into during the period I was not there.
As for these, you should be able to take care of them by the time I return. Don’t disappoint me. His Majesty has designated this location for the Way Mark. If you can’t get them in order, I don’t mind helping you clear them out once!”
At this point, a faint chill spread across the face of the Merfolk Queen,
“I don’t happen to want to see weapons pointed at us the next time.”
“You don’t need to interfere, I’ll discipline them.”
The tone of Yun Chenglu was almost icy cold, even somewhat murderous at times.
This newly crowned leader, barely getting respect from the elders of the tribe, was even looked down upon by outsiders.
However, she couldn’t devote all her energy to the tribe. The majority of her time was spent in serving the sovereign.
Therefore, if she wanted to establish her rule, she had to demonstrate her strength, and then her determination to level all dissension.
“If you can do it.”
The Merfolk Queen chuckled, then turned into a golden rainbow, leaving the Merfolk tribe and plunging directly into the vast ocean beneath the Qiong Yu tribe.
