This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 830 - 657: Zhou Yuqing_2

"Senior Chen, what's really happening on the Abyss side now?"
After it had been a few days since they heard of any activity from the Abyss, Wan Tinggui suddenly raised her head and asked.
Upon learning of Tian Anyu's death, Wan Tinggui was bewildered and at a loss for some time because her primary goal in her earlier years of cultivation was to kill Tian Anyu.
She initially cooperated with Liang Yi to counter the Devouring Spirit Sect because she believed she might never be able to kill Tian Anyu on her own and thus sought external help.
Little did she expect Liang Yi, this unexpected force, not only uprooted the Devouring Spirit Sect from the Mystical Mechanism Continent but also decisively killed Tian Anyu, something Wan Tinggui never anticipated.
With her long-sought goal suddenly achieved through someone else, Wan Tinggui was left feeling relieved, grateful, liberated, and mostly, confused.
Though on the surface, even Liang Yi and others didn't notice anything unusual, Wan Tinggui indeed had a period of inner turmoil.
Fortunately, Aunt Wen was there.
During Liang Yi's coma at Youdao Mountain, Aunt Wen stayed up all night talking with her, discussing many things, including her mother.
It was only after that night that Wan Tinggui rediscovered her Dao Heart, passed through the Heart Inquiry, and for the first time faced the iron barrier of the Ninth Realm.
Since her life was once overshadowed by her father, she now decided to live under the shadow of her mother and her own.
"Hmm... it's hard to say in a few words, but it's very severe."
Chen Hua thought for a moment; the situation was too complicated to be explained in just a few words.
At this time, Su Youyi also approached, wanting to know what tasks awaited them after this war.
"But there is one thing you must understand..."
Looking at the puzzled Liang Yi and the others, Chen Hua raised a finger.
"What's that?"
Liang Yi blinked.
"That is, this time we are the attackers, and not defenders. Our goal this time is to completely crush the Abyss Continent!"
Chen Hua's expression turned serious, his eyes earnest, and his tone sharp as if wielding a sword.
"We are... attacking?"
Not only Liang Yi, but even Su Youyi and Wan Tinggui were taken aback.
They had expected that, like in previous epochs and the first war, they would be the passive defenders, seeking to find flaws in the enemy's defense to defeat the Abyss Army.
But never did they expect that this time they would be launching an attack...
"Shocked?"
Chen Hua suddenly raised his hand and lightly tapped Liang Yi and Su Youyi softly, asking with a smile.
In front of him, no matter how powerful Liang Yi and Su Youyi had become, they were still the two children he once brought to the mountain, who never expected to reach such an extent of cultivation, only wishing to protect each other and live peacefully.
"Not really shocked, just a bit surprised."
Liang Yi scratched the spot where Chen Hua had touched, answering absent-mindedly.
Though this epoch of the Mystical Mechanism Continent had not been long borrowed from the Immortal Path compared to the Abyss Continent and seemed insignificant, it was an era full of formidable talents.
Any top talent of this epoch placed in the First Epoch would not lose to others, and there's even someone like Chen Hua, who might dominate an entire era in the First Epoch.
Indeed, the First Epoch was the pinnacle of the Cultivation World, primarily dominated by the Taoist Sect's Three Immortals, who could directly suppress and seal the Abyss. If not for the Abyss's sudden corrosion, the Cultivation World of the First Epoch might not have lost.
The Taoist Sect's Three Immortals each touched the ceiling of the cultivation path, each having a chance to break through to the Tenth Realm.
Unfortunately, the Abyss gave them no time.
Ironically, now the tides have turned; the Abyss Will needs time, but it's now Mystical Mechanism Continent that's not giving it.
"We're almost ready on our side; the sword edges are sharpened enough, and the cultivators' morale has peaked, so we decided to launch a full attack now."
Chen Hua floated up, signaling Liang Yi and the others to follow.
Though not understanding, Liang Yi and the others obediently complied.
"Look over there..."
Chen Hua pointed ahead.
Liang Yi looked and saw countless clouds, each large cloud harboring numerous cultivators.
"That is..."
Daoist Skill, Sword Qi, Array, demonic power.
Liang Yi gazed around, seeing countless forces intertwined, with cultivators among the clouds striving to improve themselves before the war began.
"Not just here, but in Abyss Battle City, Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, and all other Super Forces, countless cultivators are always ready."
Chen Hua spoke calmly, his tone steady.
"Strike while the iron is hot; Abyss Continent has fought us for three epochs, it's time we strike back."
Chen Hua's face suddenly showed a mocking smile, evidently tired of being on the defensive.
"So, Master, have you found a way to handle the Abyss Will?"
Though the idea of a proactive attack sounded bold, Liang Yi needed to clarify the critical issue.
After the two wars of the First and Second Epochs, the Abyss Will was already much stronger than the Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao, and after absorbing Gu Chengan, it found a path to a higher level.
Furthermore, the current Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao being the newly reborn will of Mr. Juju, it was considerably weaker compared to him; should a fight break out, it would be almost certain that Mystic Mechanism Heavenly Dao's chances were slim.
Even though the Abyss Continent had lost a lot of World Origin in the previous wars, and Liang Yi's mission had cut it down by at least twenty percent, it was still somewhat stronger.
And for the Mystical Mechanism Continent to attack the Abyss Continent, at least the Abyss Will must be held in check.
Once the Abyss Will is held off, Liang Yi believed that with him and his master teaming up, the few Abyss Envoys wouldn't be able to stop them.
And as for the gap in middle and lower-level strength, when the players come online later, it could easily be filled and even surpassed.
So, in taking the initiative, they actually had great chances of success, as long as someone could contain the Abyss Will.
"No problem at all."
Chen Hua didn't directly answer Liang Yi's question but just smiled confidently.
Liang Yi was taken aback, sensing some hidden meaning in his master's words.
But before he could inquire further, a firelight descended from the sky, falling beside them.
"Senior Zhou?"
Liang Yi was momentarily distracted, and upon seeing who it was, he was stunned.
The newcomer wore a fiery red gown, even her waist-length hair was aflame, and she exuded pure fire, with a voluptuous chest almost seeming to surge out.
It was Zhou Yuqing's sister, once the Vermilion Bird emissary, Zhou Yuqing.
Zhou Yuqing had been apart from them for quite some time; although they had been getting updates from their master's spouse, they hadn't seen each other. Unexpectedly, their reunion happened at such a time.
"Yuqing? You've completed your seclusion?"
Zhou Ruanxian was overjoyed, her face full of joy as she rushed forward upon seeing her sister.
"Yes, it's been some time since I finished seclusion, and I only came after receiving the message."
Zhou Yuqing's cold and beautiful face softened instantly upon seeing Zhou Ruanxian, a change that amazed Liang Yi.
As the elder sister, Master Zhou Ruanxian wielded an Extreme Cold Law similar to Cang Dong's, effortlessly turning anyone into a moving ice sculpture. On the battlefield, she provided countless Abyss cultivators with a blue nightmare.
Meanwhile, as the younger sister, Zhou Yuqing wielded Vermilion Bird authority, bearing the Vermilion Bird's divine flame, just as pure and bright as the Hao Ri's divine fire, rivaling even the vitality of the Void Green Lotus.
Strangely, Zhou Ruanxian, who wielded the Extreme Cold Law, was lively and outgoing, while Zhou Yuqing, with Vermilion Bird's divine fire, was cold and aloof.
This situation left Liang Yi pondering its peculiarity and unsure how to judge it.
However, speaking of the Void Green Lotus, Liang Yi recalled he hadn't seen Senior Qinglian here.
