The king's words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploding outwards, louder and more terrifying than stray bullets.
"Insolence!" the savage woman shouted again, defending the person in the void.
"How dare you! Even if you are her man, you have no right to yell at me!" The King coldly rebuked, his gloomy gaze fixed on the person in mid-air. He said with a chilling, half-smile, "Is this how you train your servants? My dear sister!"
Luo Zhiheng was shocked. She never expected that this strangely powerful person who had appeared was actually the famous Emperor Xian!
The King's elder sister, the powerful Empress Xian, the future ruler of the Silver Moon Kingdom! Her status is indeed incomparably noble. But why is this person targeting the wet nurse?
The wet nurse trembled, clearly enraged. Pointing at Emperor Xian, she shrieked, "Don't think no one knows what you've done! I know exactly what you did back then. I only forgot temporarily because I was young, but you should know that the people of Silver Moon Kingdom have an innate keen sense for their enemies. Even if I was confused before, I can recognize a real enemy as soon as I see him! You've figured out who I am, haven't you? How dare you make the young master call you master? Have you lost your conscience?"
Luo Zhiheng looked at the wet nurse in astonishment; it was truly rare to see a wet nurse so excited.
Emperor Xian, suspended in mid-air, let out a heavy snort, and boundless power descended from the sky, pressing down on the wet nurse with unstoppable force, severely injuring her.
Luo Zhiheng was quickly pushed away by the wet nurse, and the next moment she was sent flying by the Emperor's force, falling heavily into the ruins, spitting out blood. It was a fatal blow, and she couldn't get up.
"Wet Nurse!" Luo Zhiheng exclaimed and rushed over. Seeing the wet nurse's pale face, Luo Zhiheng's eyes widened in fury. She looked up and roared, "You think you're so great for hurting people without cause? Just because you're the Emperor Xian doesn't mean you're so great! What are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty in front of me? Stand there, do you believe I can make you fall down and get a really, really bad fall!"
The Empress didn't even blink, but her gaze turned cold. She was wary of Luo Zhiheng because Luo Zhiheng possessed the purest bloodline of the Silver Moon Kingdom's royal family. Although unwilling to admit it, Luo Zhiheng was the most rightful heir to the Silver Moon royal family. She hadn't known of Luo Zhiheng's existence before; Qin Yinheng was her stumbling block. If she wanted the throne, she couldn't accept kinship. Anyone who stood in her way would be completely eliminated.
Now that Emperor Xian knows of Luo Zhiheng's existence, he is deeply concerned. Having held power for so many years, she has remained the Crown Princess. Her mother, the Empress, has always been in poor health, and as long as her mother lives, she cannot ascend the throne. But these are all matters of time; she can wait, having already waited so many years. But with Luo Zhiheng's appearance, things are different.
She understood the power of intergenerational affection. She and the Prince had no children, but her other siblings did, and the Empress Dowager doted on those grandchildren. It was certain that Luo Zhiheng would be more favored than those children; this was already predetermined the moment Luo Zhiheng appeared.
How could the Empress not love the child of the daughter who loves her most, the child of the daughter she owes the most to, and the granddaughter who has been away for too long?
Luo Zhiheng has seriously threatened her succession to the throne!
Eliminating Luo Zhiheng is now urgent. The Empress Dowager absolutely cannot know of Luo Zhiheng's existence. However, the most hateful thing is this wet nurse, who lied and said she was Qin Yinheng, even fooling herself and focusing all her attention on the wet nurse. Now, the Empress Dowager has probably already received the news. However, it's unlikely to be confirmed. As long as the Empress Dowager isn't certain that Luo Zhiheng is Qin Yinheng's daughter, she won't blame her too much for killing Luo Zhiheng.
Therefore, Luo Zhiheng's words just now not only angered Emperor Xian's authority, but also made Emperor Xian determined to get rid of Luo Zhiheng.
"I believe you! I firmly believe you can make me fall hard," the Emperor said, his voice light and cold. The only one in this world capable of shaking her position is you, Luo Zhiheng, isn't she? So you have the ability, but she won't let you continue to have it.
"Unfortunately, I will not allow anyone who can threaten me to live. Considering that you and I are destined to meet, I will grant you a dignified death. How do you wish to die?" The Emperor's elegant voice came from the sky, splashing up a shard of ice in the night.
Wang Bannu was also like this. Luo Zhiheng's eyes held a cold arrogance as she sneered, "Whether you can kill me depends on whether you have the ability."
"Then I'll show you my skills." The Empress sneered, and ripples spread out around her body, with layers of cold and terrifying aura flying down into the sky.
The King suddenly stood in front of Luo Zhiheng and shouted, "Wake up! Are you crazy? How much more insane will you go? No one can live if they stand in your way. What right do you have to end other people's lives?"
"You'd better get out of my way! Otherwise, don't blame me for turning ruthless." Empress Xian said coldly, taking it as the Prince Shi's way of opposing her, as the Prince Shi always liked to oppose her.
"No way! I finally found her bloodline, do you think I'd let you kill her so easily? Besides, when have you ever shown me any mercy?" The King sneered, his words dripping with sarcasm.
"You're courting death!" Emperor Xian roared, his voice carrying the majesty of thunder, crashing down like a thunderbolt.
The king's face was grim, but he met the attack without fear. In an instant, their strengths clashed, and ripples spread across the sky. Everyone's face seemed to be distorted by a terrifying force, and everyone looked ugly at that moment.
They are twin sisters, but their treatment differs due to their birth order. They have been secretly and openly competing, yet neither has gained the upper hand. This battle is likely the culmination of their long-suppressed rivalry. Whether they fight for Luo Zhiheng or for themselves remains to be seen.
Taking the opportunity, the wet nurse grabbed Luo Zhiheng's hand and said with difficulty, "Don't beg her, don't even if it kills you! The Emperor Xian is your enemy, you must hate her. Little master, she is your enemy, you must hate her! Prince Shi... you follow Prince Shi, listen to her, don't go to Silver Moon Kingdom, never go there..."
Luo Zhiheng couldn't understand her wet nurse's words. Her mind was in a mess, but she kept saying, "I remember, I won't go to Silver Moon Kingdom. Wet nurse, please hold on, I'll get Lady Fire Cloud here."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Yunhe came over, with a disheveled Lady Huoyun beside her. Luo Zhiheng handed the wet nurse over to her, and only after knowing that the wet nurse was not in mortal danger did she feel at ease to watch the battle.
"Don't leave my side. I can feel that there is danger around us." Mu Yunhe gripped her hand tightly, pulled her into his arms, and said with a dark look in his eyes.
Luo Zhiheng nodded haphazardly, feeling that everything had happened too suddenly. She stared blankly at the two people fighting fiercely in the sky. One was covered in noble gold, and the other was covered in gorgeous purple. The two were locked in a fierce battle. There was a murderous intent in her eyes. Finally, a little bit of clue appeared in her chaotic mind. It seemed that she had encountered a problem similar to her background.
Who exactly was her mother, who died in childbirth?
However, just as everyone's attention was focused on the magnificent battle between the two women in the sky, danger was already quietly approaching.
Luo Zhiheng felt as if her hand had suddenly been coiled by a venomous snake. Before she could react, she staggered and was pulled aside by a tremendous force. However, Mu Yunhe's large hand, which was tightly holding her waist, caught her and, with incredible speed, pointed out two fingers.
"Shatter the Netherworld, let all things rise and fall, demon and savage, reveal your form now!" Mu Yunhe's deep voice carried a sacred tone, resounding like a spell. His finger seemed to be pointing at something, but Luo Zhiheng could only see emptiness.
But in that instant, to Luo Zhiheng's astonishment, a graceful figure appeared before her eyes. That person was standing right next to her!
The woman had an exquisitely beautiful face, but she was so pale she looked almost lifeless. She gripped Luo Zhiheng's wrist, seemingly surprised that someone had managed to expose her, and stared at them with a look of terror and astonishment. She realized what was happening and tried to release Luo Zhiheng to escape, but Mu Yunhe's murderous intent was already set in motion; how could he let her get away?
Mu Yunhe grabbed the woman by the ear and said in a deep voice, "You beast! If you dare to resist again, I'll crush your skull."
The woman indeed dared not move. The person who was so arrogant just now was now pleading with a sob in her voice, "Priest, spare my life! I dare not do anything reckless again, please spare me!"
Luo Zhiheng was still in shock when Emperor Xian's cold voice suddenly came from the sky: "You really are a diviner! Very well, very well! Today I will solve two problems at once!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Xian seemed to have a clone technique, with one figure fighting against the King of the World, and another figure fiercely swooping down towards the two of them, the incoming sword energy capable of shattering everything.
"Hold her by the ear and don't let go! Don't listen to anything she says." Mu Yunhe calmly instructed, placing the demoness's ear in Luo Zhiheng's hand, and then surprisingly went to meet the figure of Emperor Xian.
"No!" Luo Zhiheng screamed in terror. Mu Yunhe's actions were tantamount to courting death. But the next moment, she realized just how little she understood Mu Yunhe. Mu Yunhe, just how extraordinary a being he was!
He stood proudly beneath the vast sky, arms outstretched, his deep voice seemingly from eternity, desolate yet sacred: "By the starry sky above, may all the stars heed my command! In the name of a divine official, I command the birds and beasts of the night to capture villains, slay evildoers, and protect all living beings. Night hawks, birds, tigers, jackals, beasts, appear!"

The moment the eagle's cry appeared, the entire clear starry sky seemed to be instantly shattered and trampled apart, and the sound that suddenly rang out went from intermittent to continuous and distinct.
There were eagles, birds of prey, roars, and howls. The wild beasts across the mountains and plains seemed to be awakened instantly, roaring and howling as if enraged. The sounds mingled together to form a huge echo, like the drumbeats of battle under the sky—fervent, intense, fierce, and powerful!
Roar! Whoosh!
A tiger's roar shakes the mountains, a wolf's howl shatters a thousand armies!
The raging beasts trampled the flowers, grass, and trees, all coming out in unison as if summoned. The gods were enraged, and none dared to disobey!
Under the moonlight on the horizon, a smudge seemed to gradually float, growing larger and more numerous, eventually merging into a vast expanse, transforming from a smudge into a dark cloud, then into a dark, oppressive blue sea stretching to the horizon, finally blotting out the sun and completely obscuring the moonlight, flying majestically across the sky.
A multitude of red dots seemed to radiate a bloodthirsty light, their wings vibrating and buzzing, moving at incredible speed, closing in on you in the blink of an eye.
Even the Empress, with her experience of weathering storms and her self-importance, even believing herself to rule the world, had never witnessed such an absurd and wondrous event. She was uncontrollably shocked, her expression slightly panicked. Yet, her descent speed did not diminish in the slightest. She believed that before these strange, suddenly appearing birds and beasts could reach her, killing the vulnerable Mu Yunhe would ensure everything was alright. 17281747
She implemented the principle of "capture the king first" very thoroughly! 1.
But she still overestimated herself and underestimated Mu Yunhe.
Mu Yunhe stood proudly amidst the ruins. He was physically weak and frail, but his spiritual strength was unparalleled in the world. With his frail body, he could and had to create a vast and boundless sky for the woman he loved behind him.
A haughty, disdainful smile played on his lips. His pupils once again revealed that eerie, deep blue ocean, reflecting the approaching figure of the Emperor and the swarms of birds almost following him. Danger was imminent, a split second had passed, yet he remained calm and composed. He chanted a difficult, incomprehensible incantation in a deep voice, and once more opened his arms, his entire being radiating an aura of righteous power in the darkness!
The birds that had initially been chasing the emperor suddenly accelerated as if going berserk, overtaking him in an instant. They then arrogantly dominated the emperor from all sides, even surpassing those who had come before.
Suddenly, the layers of black, scale-like birds dispersed, seemingly becoming one, and flew past the Emperor Xian from all directions, surpassing her. They then collectively converged in front of Mu Yunhe, forming a strange, dark wall. Almost simultaneously, the Emperor Xian arrived, and only this wall of flesh formed by the birds stood between them.
This dangerous scene left everyone breathless, terrified, panicked, and even desperate!
Emperor Xian's martial arts were unparalleled, even the Prince of Shi was no match for him. Throughout the entire world, of all the late emperor's enemies, fewer than five could kill Emperor Xian, and not a single one could withstand him and survive!
"Those I decree to kill have no right to live! Mu Yunhe, your career as a diviner is over!" The Empress was not arrogant; she had simply taken her high position for granted. A confident smile appeared on her peerless face. She gathered a large amount of internal energy in her palm; at such close range, a single strike would be fatal. Mu Yunhe was doomed!
She was wary of Mu Yunhe! For Emperor Xian, the title of Divination God was something he could easily gain and then discard, but now that the Divination God was so devoted to his wife, he was her death trap, so she had no choice but to destroy him! Once Mu Yunhe was dead, Luo Zhiheng, an orphan girl deprived of the Divination God's protection, would be nothing more than an ant under her control, at her mercy!
"Die!" A roar erupted, and a hundred birds in the sky cried out in unison, like startled birds, but they could not stop the Emperor's murderous intent. With a single palm strike, true energy scattered, killing intent surged, dust flew, and all was silent except for the whistling of the wind.
"Who will emerge victorious is not for you to decide. Go!" Mu Yunhe's eyes were cool and clear, encompassing the heavens. His words were met with the echoes of a hundred beasts.
Immediately, with a whoosh, the wall of flesh in front of Mu Yunhe rose up, rushing straight at Emperor Xian. The infinitely extending black wings completely contained and blocked Emperor Xian's powerful true energy, then enveloped his entire body. It was as if a giant monster had opened its blood-red maw and was about to devour a living person alive.
The Emperor vanished into thin air in an instant, leaving only a colossal black object hovering in mid-air in front of Mu Yunhe.
Suddenly, the air fell completely silent. The Queen Shi, who was fighting in the distant sky, also stopped, only because the Emperor Xian in front of her suddenly collapsed. The Queen Shi was shocked and pale. She never expected that the Emperor Xian would abandon her to attack Mu Yunhe and use the phantom created by his true energy to fight against her!
The rustling sound continued as the black wings formed by the young bats instantly grew enormous, densely covering the Emperor. However, this was not the end.
The enormous black egg began to tremble, gradually cracking open from a slight to a violent tremor. The small bats began to fall off, dying instantly upon landing, with none surviving.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and the entire black giant egg exploded completely. The powerful airflow dispersed and blasted the giant egg made of bats into pieces. The smell of blood instantly swept through the night.
The Empress Xian leaped to her feet, covered in blood, her white hair disheveled, utterly humiliated. Her eyes, usually so disdainful and arrogant, now cracked. Her hands, hidden behind her back, trembled slightly; she was utterly shaken. She, the dignified Empress Xian, had been attacked so pathetically by a weak, defenseless man? Though not seriously injured, even a single mistake shouldn't have happened to her.
Emperor Xian narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp and cold as he stared at Mu Yunhe's calm and confident face. He was secretly alarmed, and naturally, flames were rising in his chest as the sky shattered.
"The diviner is indeed worthy of his reputation! I have witnessed his skill." The Empress's cold voice carried a hint of malice, but in the blink of an eye, she smiled elegantly, her words exuding the arrogance and condescension of a superior: "If you submit to me, I may spare your life, and I may also spare Luo Zhiheng's life."
Mu Yunhe's expression was cold. He raised an eyebrow mockingly and said, "Do you think I would believe that?"
"You have no other way to go. If you insist on this, then you will only face death." The Empress was furious at Mu Yunhe's tactlessness, but she was also very interested in a diviner with such abilities, and suddenly desperately wanted to possess him. However, Mu Yunhe was too dangerous. He deeply loved Luo Zhiheng, and he had killed time and time again for her. Luo Zhiheng was too important to him; every action he took was for her sake.
Luo Zhiheng was her enemy! To win over a man like that would be an impossible task. But as long as Luo Zhiheng lived, she felt a lump in her throat. She wasn't as foolish as the Prince, who still believed in kinship. She regretted not killing Luo Zhiheng's mother back then, let alone this bastard child, Luo Zhiheng!
Those who are not of my kind, I will surely eliminate! Luo Zhiheng was not born to Qin Yinheng and a man from the Silver Moon Kingdom, therefore she is not of my kind. This reason is enough to convince the Empress.
"Thinking about how to kill my wife in front of me? You think I'll let you live? Take you under my wing? You're not worthy! You overestimate yourself." Mu Yunhe's cold words were laced with ruthlessness, causing Emperor Xian's pupils to shrink as soon as he spoke.
How could he possibly know what I was thinking?!
Xiao Lang broke through the silence. A man like Emperor Xian, wherever he went, evoked only two feelings: nobility and terror. But now, Mu Yunhe terrified Emperor Xian. Who wouldn't be afraid of someone who could see into people's hearts at any time?
Mu Yunhe must not be allowed to live!
"That's exactly what I was thinking too!" Almost the instant Emperor Xian had thought of that, Mu Yunhe spoke coldly. With a wave of his hand, the eagle and golden eagle circling in the sky swooped down fiercely, heading straight for Emperor Xian's eyes!
Emperor Xian's face was cold and stern. He raised both palms and shouted fiercely, "You beast, you're courting death!"
Mu Yunhe was outnumbered and physically weak; no one expected him to have any fighting ability. But at this moment, this miraculous scene suddenly appeared. He possessed a vast army; wherever he wanted, mountains and rivers, wherever he looked, a single call from him would elicit an endless response. This extraordinary sight was truly unprecedented and shocked the world!
The Emperor was alone, but the warriors lurking around him were not hers; their master was the demoness. However, the demoness's greatest weakness was her ears, and Luo Zhiheng was currently gripping the demoness's manhood tightly, instantly leaving the Emperor isolated and helpless. Mu Yunhe was ruthless; birds of prey flocked from the sky, swooping down. Even if the Emperor was powerful, there would come a moment when he was overwhelmed. That moment would be Mu Yunhe's opportunity.
Mu Yunhe remained calm and collected, using her wisdom and cunning to outmaneuver Emperor Xian. A strange smile played on her lips. As a diviner, how could she not know about Emperor Xian's scheme today? Although she couldn't pinpoint exactly who was behind the ambush, she could easily foresee the trap. All along the way, she had been secretly summoning the wild beasts and birds of the deep mountains, which led to this astonishing scene.
The Empress was formidable, but the eagles and golden eagles were not easy to deal with, and they attacked relentlessly. The Empress was expending a great deal of energy hovering in mid-air and had no choice but to land. The moment she landed, Mu Yunhe's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he shouted with murderous intent: "Beasts, appear!"
A rumbling sound rang out, and almost immediately, strong and ferocious jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards suddenly sprang out from all directions, their eyes shining with their most striking colors in the darkness, chilling the night.
