“Whoa! Someone this beautiful has shown up in our neck of the woods? Looks like the heavens are finally smiling on us!!”
“This… really caught me off guard. I thought our place here had become completely deserted!!”
“A blessing, this is a true blessing! Who would have thought that after waking up from a nap, such a beauty would just deliver herself to our doorstep? How can I not thank the heavens for this?!”
“Not just the beauty, but the guy isn’t bad either. Look at that soft, fair skin!”
Seeing the Divine Dragon Empress and Ye Wushuang, these villainous cultivators’ eyes went wide, their expressions full of disbelief.
In their minds, their reputation here was already infamous.
Given the circumstances, they thought no one would show up around their place.
Even those who weren’t well-informed would instinctively avoid this area.
This meant that if these cultivators wanted to rob others, they had to travel far away to ambush solitary cultivators.
But who would have thought that today, someone would come to them instead?
And not just anyone – a beauty as stunning as this, and a handsome man with such delicate skin. It made these habitual wrongdoers as happy as if it were a festival.
Looking at the Divine Dragon Empress and Ye Wushuang, they were eager to make their move.
However, the Divine Dragon Empress and Ye Wushuang were not people they could handle.
The moment they reached out, Ye Wushuang didn’t hesitate. He waved his hand at them.
Instantly, a sword intent condensed right in front of Ye Wushuang, then transformed into a sharp, piercing sword strike that shot straight toward those cultivators.
The cultivators saw it but didn’t pay it much attention.
Because they simply couldn’t perceive the cultivation level of Ye Wushuang or the Empress.
There’s a saying: ignorance breeds fear.
Because of this, they directly unleashed their fire-based techniques.
In an instant, a fiery serpent shot straight toward Ye Wushuang and the others.
However, the moment that fiery serpent met Ye Wushuang’s sword intent, it was instantly shattered.
Then, Ye Wushuang’s sword pressed forward without hesitation and took their lives.
These people died without ever understanding that what killed them wasn’t just a simple sword, but a powerful sword intent imbued with the very essence of the sword dao.
And so, they died very cleanly, causing no further disturbance.
After they died, Ye Wushuang and the Divine Dragon Empress didn’t linger. They headed straight into the Fire Prison.
“Let’s go.”
Their goal was to take over the Fire Prison and then go into seclusion there to cultivate.
Now that they were already at the doorstep, naturally, they were going in.
As soon as they entered the Fire Prison, they immediately drew the attention of many people inside.
Their arrival stunned quite a few in the Fire Prison.
First, because the Fire Prison inhabitants had never seen the Divine Dragon Empress or Ye Wushuang before. Second, because the Empress was incredibly beautiful, and Ye Wushuang was exceptionally outstanding.
People like them appearing in the Fire Prison was bound to draw a lot of eyes.
Many looked at the Divine Dragon Empress and Ye Wushuang, but at the same time, some sensed something was wrong.
So, a few came forward with smirks and jeers to question the Empress and Ye Wushuang.
“Hehe, who are you people, and what are you doing here in our Fire Prison?”
The person who came forward to question them was mainly staring at the Divine Dragon Empress as he spoke.
His eyes were full of greed.
That greedy look was like he wanted to devour the Empress in one bite. Just looking at him made people feel disgusted.
Therefore, the Divine Dragon Empress didn’t bother to say a single word in reply. She simply attacked.
Just like Ye Wushuang, she directly waved her hand and slashed a sword strike toward that cultivator.
Her sword strike was equally powerful.
However, this sword strike wasn’t like Ye Wushuang’s swordsmanship, which contained incredibly powerful sword dao rules.
But even so, killing a single cultivator was an easy feat.
Thus, the cultivator in front of the Divine Dragon Empress was sliced cleanly in two by her sword strike.
Fresh blood splattered instantly onto the ground.
Then, the Divine Dragon Empress’s voice rang out clearly to everyone present.
“From today on, this place is ours.”
The Divine Dragon Empress had decided to take over this place and go into seclusion there with Ye Wushuang.
Because of that, her saying that this place was hers was a perfectly normal statement.
However, for the cultivators in the Fire Prison, who had survived by robbing and plundering, this was a huge provocation.
But, they didn’t feel any overwhelmingly strong threat from the Divine Dragon Empress. Because of that, they felt she was just telling a joke in front of them.
Even though they had lost one person, they remained completely unafraid.
“This place is yours? Then what are we? Does that mean we belong to you, too?”
“Oh my! We’re all yours? Isn’t that a bit much? There are quite a lot of us here, you know!”
“Hehe! Honestly, I wouldn’t mind if there were a lot of people, as long as it’s not too many!”
These people in the Fire Prison were far from good.
They had done every evil deed imaginable, and on top of that, they were incredibly reckless and audacious.
Now, with a peerless beauty right in front of them, every single one of them was spouting endless filth and vulgarities, just to make their presence felt.
But when that kind of vile talk reached the ears of the Divine Dragon Empress and Ye Wushuang, it was especially harsh and grating.
Because of that, the Divine Dragon Empress’s gaze turned as sharp as a sword, fixed on those people.
Then, the Empress spoke.
“All of you… die.”
The moment the Divine Dragon Empress finished saying this, countless swords appeared in the sky.
These swords were all condensed from sword intent, as if they had no physical form.
And as soon as they appeared, they carried a surging, killing aura that swept through the entire Fire Prison.
Instantly, the whole Fire Prison was shaken.
Countless powerful figures within the Fire Prison broke out of their seclusion, appearing outside, watching the Divine Dragon Empress from afar.
And at the same time, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.
They sensed an extreme, deadly threat within the Empress’s sword intent.
As for those who had spoken out to provoke the Divine Dragon Empress, they nearly wet their pants right then and there.
Although they couldn’t tell exactly how much power was contained within the Empress’s sword intent,
they could clearly sense that this time, they had stirred up enormous trouble.
It seemed they had provoked someone they absolutely should not have provoked.
Such a person was far too powerful – powerful enough even to destroy their entire Fire Prison.
They couldn’t sense the Divine Dragon Empress’s cultivation level, but they could feel that at this moment, she was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
If they could, they would have slapped themselves across the face, punishing themselves harshly for their earlier suicidal behavior.
But unfortunately, there are no do-overs in this world. No regret medicine for them to take.
The Divine Dragon Empress’s booming voice also spread clearly through the ears of countless people.
“Ten! Thousand! Swords! Return! To! One!”
