Qu Qingyan's words were already a complete statement.
Gongsun Wuji's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, the Queen of Great Qi, can I understand that this is your final statement?"
Qu Qingyan nodded and smiled faintly, "Of course."
"In addition, I want to remind His Majesty Gongsun that Ye Qing is not as simple as you think."
"Oh, good!"
Gongsun Wuji raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly, "Since Her Majesty the Queen of Great Qi is so ignorant of current affairs, then I will naturally not force you."
"But in the future, when I take over ASEAN, I will expel your Great Qi Dynasty from ASEAN. Don't blame me for being ruthless and ungrateful."
Qu Qingyan still had a smile on her face, as if to say, "Please do as you please."
Gongsun Wuji snorted coldly and walked away without hesitation.
Looking at Gongsun Wuji's departing back, Qu Qingyan's expression became a little ugly.
She knew that Gongsun Wuji must have had a certain degree of certainty in his ambition to annex ASEAN.
But Qu Qingyan was really scared.
Through her understanding over the years, she has gained a certain understanding of Ye Qing's methods.
Seriously injured? Disabled?
I’m afraid not necessarily.
Qu Qingyan knew that it was impossible for her to win back Ye Qing's heart.
But she also knew very well that Ye Qing would never die so easily.
Qu Qingyan firmly believed that this man who had surprised her countless times would never become a thing of the past so easily.
……
at the same time.
The Imperial City of Da Chu, inside the secret realm.
White light lingered around Ye Qing, and wisps of white light burst out from his dantian, then turned into immortal power and returned to his body.
After a year of settling down, Ye Qing has become infinitely close to the realm of immortal.
Now, he could break through to the fairyland in a single thought.
Just wait for the last bit of inspiration to appear, and you can achieve nirvana and become an immortal.
……
Linglong Holy Land, inside the Sect Master’s Hall.
Ancestor Ximen Qingyan broke through the barrier and sat on the throne that originally belonged to the sect master.
Xia Long, Xia He and other elders sat on both sides, each of them looking excited.
"Everyone, when I first learned that Ye Qing was seriously injured, I announced that you would be patient for a year."
Ximen Qingyan narrowed her eyes and grinned, "Now, the one-year deadline has come, and there is still no news from Ye Qing."
"This is enough to prove that Ye Qing is either dead or seriously injured and in critical condition."
"The hatred of the past can be avenged today."
"Today is the day of revenge for our Linglong Holy Land!"
Sect Master Xia Long showed a worried look on his face and asked cautiously, "Sect Master, is it really appropriate for us to start revenge now?"
"Of course!"
Ximen Qingyan smiled without hesitation and said, "Back then, they went to the ancient forbidden land and challenged the entire Immortal Mountain."
"How could they wipe out an entire ancient race without any harm?"
"Besides, there have been countless rumors in Dongzhou recently. It is impossible that they are all groundless."
"Besides, Dongfang Liren has been in seclusion for the past year and has not come out. The situation is obvious."
"Obviously, not only Ye Qing was seriously injured, but Dongfang Liren must also be seriously injured and in critical condition."
"Now is our God-given opportunity to go to ASEAN and take revenge on Ye Qing!"
……
Great Chu Dynasty.
Chu Yao sat on the throne with a worried look on her face.
Although she had absolute trust in her husband and believed that nothing could happen to him, she could not help but feel worried after hearing no news from him for a whole year.
Just when Chu Yao was extremely worried, a loud laughter came from outside.
"Hahahaha, Your Majesty the Queen of Great Chu, why are you so worried?"
Chu Yao was slightly startled and looked up.
It was Emperor Wen, Mo Kuangzi, who strode into the hall.
"Your Majesty?"
Chu Yao was slightly startled, and quickly stood up and said solemnly, "My daughter greets His Majesty the Emperor Wen!"
"Hehe, Your Majesty, there's no need to be so polite."
Mo Kuangzi waved his hand and said cheerfully, "I have been busy with trivial matters recently and have not come to visit you."
"I wonder how Ye Huang is doing these days?"
Chu Yao sighed slightly and smiled helplessly, "My husband is still the same as always. There has been no news from us for a whole year."
"I don't dare to disturb him easily, I can only worry about him here."
"Well, that's fine."
Mo Kuangzi smiled faintly and said, "I have heard recently that the situation in Dongzhou is in chaos and undercurrents are surging."
"It just so happens that I have finished my chores and have nothing to do recently."
"In the next few days, I can stay in the Great Chu Dynasty for a while and protect Emperor Ye's foundation."
Hearing what Mo Kuangzi said, Chu Yao immediately showed gratitude and nodded heavily, "Thank you, Emperor Wen!"
The fact that Emperor Mo was willing to rule the Great Chu Dynasty gave Chu Yao confidence.
At the same time, she felt extremely moved.
If it weren't for her husband's relationship, Emperor Wen, one of the Four Emperors, would definitely not even be able to visit their Great Chu Dynasty.
Even if her husband is in seclusion, he can still protect her.
Chu Yao felt a strong sense of security in her heart.
……
In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.
As time goes by, each force becomes increasingly unable to hold back.
Finally, with Ye Qing's disappearance, more and more forces became impatient.
That day, in the evening.
A group of dynasty leaders, led by Linglong Patriarch Ximen Qingyan, gathered in the palace of the Great Chu Imperial City.
Most of the forces involved in this incitement were the dynasty leaders who originally participated in the ASEAN uprising.
Looking at the familiar faces below, Chu Yao sat on the throne and said calmly, "My colleagues, we have indeed met many times in the past."
"But today's meeting seems to be different from the past."
"I don't know why you are here today. Please tell me frankly."
Ximen Qingyan stepped forward and said with a cold smile, "Your Majesty, the Queen of Great Chu, although I am not from ASEAN, too many people have come to complain to me, so I have no choice but to come here today."
"I just want to ask the deputy leader on behalf of these ASEAN countries to meet with Emperor Ye."
The kings behind him all had determined looks, and they obviously agreed with what Ximen Qingyan said.
Chu Yao remained calm and said calmly, "Ye Huang is still in seclusion, striving for the immortal path."
"After he comes out of seclusion, he will naturally meet with you all and reassure you allies."
Gongsun Wuji took a step forward and sneered, "Alliance Leader Chu has used this excuse of seclusion countless times, and we are so tired of hearing it that our ears are covered with calluses."
"Your Majesty, do you think this old excuse can still get rid of us today?"
Chu Yao narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "So, what do you mean?"
Ximen Qingyan sneered, "From what I see, Emperor Ye is not in seclusion."
"But he is already seriously injured and dying. Can Alliance Leader Chu recognize him?" (End of this chapter)
