Dethroned from the Imperial Throne, Why Are You So Anxious When I Don't Want It Anymore? - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: An Invitation From Qingyun Sect

Ye Qingshuang was seen curled up in a corner, trembling and wailing incessantly.

A stench of bl00d and decay permeated the entire Palace.

Ye Qingwan pinched her nose, stepped forward, and asked, “Third Sister, what happened to you? ”

Hearing a voice, Ye Qingshuang in the corner suddenly flinched. Upon seeing Ye Qingwan, she cried out.

“Elder Sister, save me, please save me! ”

Seeing Ye Qingshuang rush out, Ye Qingwan gasped and involuntarily took a step back.

Ye Qingshuang’s entire body was covered in ghastly wounds, bleeding profusely, yet constantly healing. However, each time new flesh grew, it would rot.

This bizarre scene sent a chill down Ye Qingwan’s spine, but she still forced herself to ask, “Third Sister, what happened to you? ”

“I don’t know. Since returning from the Secret Realm, I’ve become like this. Elder Sister, Elder Sister, you must save me! ” Ye Qingshuang trembled uncontrollably, clearly terrified to the extreme.

“Didn’t you ask Master Cang Yun? ” Ye Qingwan asked.

Ye Qingshuang shook her head blankly, “I can’t contact Master. He might be in seclusion, practicing alchemy. Elder Sister, what should I do… wuwuwu… ”

“This is Nine Nether Bl00d Qi… This is because of the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi! This is Nine Nether Bl00d Qi! ”

Hearing about the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi, Ye Qingwan’s face also turned ugly. She was about to offer some comfort when a figure entered from outside.

“Third Sister, Father Emperor told me to contain the spread of the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi. Can you give me some pills? ” Ye Xuan said as he walked in.

Upon seeing Ye Qingshuang’s plight, he froze in place.

“Little Xuan. ” Ye Qingwan called out to Ye Xuan.

But Ye Xuan only glanced at her without speaking, instead asking, “Third Sister, what happened to you? ”

Seeing Ye Qingshuang’s distraught state, Ye Qingwan explained about the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi.

Upon hearing that Ye Qingshuang was infected with the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi, Ye Xuan quickly retreated to the Palace Gate, his expression filled with fear.

Seeing Ye Xuan’s reaction, a look of undisguised disappointment flashed across Ye Qingshuang’s face, as if she had been greatly betrayed.

“That… Third Sister, Father Emperor needs me. I’ll go first. ” Ye Xuan chuckled awkwardly, quickly retreating without looking back.

Overwhelming despair consumed Ye Qingshuang. She couldn’t help but think of Ye Yu, the one who had always been by her side, no matter what happened.

That once youthful youth, who would always call her Third Sister and help her solve everything.

But now, that youth wouldn’t help her even if he discovered her infection, he wouldn’t even warn her.

Looking at the empty Palace, Ye Qingshuang’s mind echoed with words she had spoken to Ye Yu over the past year.

“It’s just a little flesh wound, what are you acting up for? ”

“Get out! Don’t dirty my place with your bl00d. ”

….

Various scenes flashed through her mind, and Ye Qingshuang finally burst into tears.

The Nine Nether Bl00d Qi spread at an alarming rate, quickly engulfing three cities and eight counties of Great Yan!

Refugees were everywhere in Great Yan.

Within just a few days, hundreds of thousands of people had died from the spread of the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi. The damage to cities and the loss of resources were immeasurable.

Only now did the people of Great Yan realize the horror of the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring, that it was not a fabrication by Ye Yu. Only those who had experienced it firsthand could understand that despair.

Great Yan was plunged into panic.

But at that moment, news spread that Crown Prince Ye Xuan would go to suppress the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring and stop the spread of the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi.

It was all eerily similar to a year ago.

Many refugees’ eyes lit up. A year ago, Ye Yu had charged into the heart of the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring without hesitation and successfully sealed it.

Crown Prince Ye Xuan’s popularity soared.

Ye Xuan led the Imperial Consecrates of Great Yan straight to the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring.

Although he didn’t know how to seal the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring, with the help of over twenty Nascent Soul Stage Imperial Consecrates of Great Yan, stopping the spread of the bl00d qi wasn’t too difficult.

Many citizens and cultivators followed, wanting to witness the Crown Prince protecting them.

Ye Yu, currently in the Great Qin Imperial Palace, learned of the situation through Xue Li’s report. He smiled and transmitted a message to Xue Li: “You’ve been lurking in Great Yan for many years. Do you have control over any confidants of Ye Qingwan? ”

“Yes, of course. ” Xue Li thought for a moment and transmitted a message back.

“In that case, do as I say. Have that person go to the outskirts of the Nine Nether Bl00d Qi and reveal the method to seal the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring. ” Ye Yu said calmly.

He then told Xue Li how to seal the Nine Nether Bl00d Spring.

Xue Li’s face turned shocked after hearing the sealing method. He hadn’t expected that Ye Yu had sacrificed so much for Great Yan, even sacrificing his Sacred Spiritual Root.

But despite his shock, Xue Li followed Ye Yu’s instructions.

“Ye Qingwan, I wonder how your dear younger brother will treat you this time. ” Ye Yu grinned, then looked at the invitation in his hand.

An invitation from Qingyun Sect. Ye Yu knew the invitation was a pretense; the antidote was the real deal.

To be honest, Ye Yu didn’t have a bad impression of Yan Ruyue, even though he had only met her twice.

The fact that Yan Ruyue was suffering from Bl00d Poison showed she had clashed with many members of the Demon Race.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. After careful consideration, Ye Yu decided to go to Qingyun Sect and cure Yan Ruyue of her Bl00d Poison.

After making his decision, Ye Yu told Qin Wushuang about it.

Qin Wushuang naturally wouldn’t stop him, instead saying, “Should we bring some Imperial Consecrates? In present-day Qingzhou, more than just Ye Fan wants you dead. ”

Ye Yu’s performance outside the Secret Realm was too shocking, making him a thorn in many people’s eyes.

“No need. Although Great Yan is in chaos now, other Empires might have designs on it. Leaving those Imperial Consecrates behind is a deterrent. Besides, as long as no Transformation God appears, there’s no one in Qingzhou who can kill me. ” Ye Yu laughed.

This wasn’t Ye Yu being arrogant.

After cultivating the Primordial Invincible Scripture, the spiritual energy in Ye Yu’s body had been completely transformed.

Coupled with the Illusory Dragon Wind Thunder Body, the Primordial Breathing Technique, and the Sky Cleaving Sword Technique—three Sage’s Divine Abilities—he could remain undefeated at the Nascent Soul Stage.

“Speaking of which, do you think Ye Xuan can control the spread of the bl00d qi? ” Qin Wushuang asked.
