Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess
Chapter 73 - 69 Formation!

Chapter 73: Chapter 69 Formation!

Although the Haoran Ruler of the Confucian Saint had blocked the punch of the Demon Venerable, the residual force still shook the Crown Prince’s bones and caused his blood to surge violently.

Crown Prince Zhou Wei clutched his chest, as his heart pounded so violently it seemed as though it would burst out, the pain was excruciating.

For a moment, he felt he was truly going to die.

The furious Confucian Saint raised the broken ruler in his hand and harshly struck at the Demon Venerable.

"Righteousness arises, the true heart observes, Haoran shall sever the demonic evils!"

As the ruler descended, ripples burst through the air, and an invisible Haoran barrier, like an inverted giant bell, enveloped the Demon Venerable.

Immediately, countless whips appeared within the barrier, lashing at the Demon Venerable.

"Hmph, such pedantic Confucian air!"

The Demon Venerable’s fingers spread apart, each strand of her white hair rising and quickly growing extremely long, then entwining those whips.

With a forceful fling, the pure white giant bell formed by the Confucian Haoran Qi shattered into pieces!

The ruler in the hands of the Confucian Saint completely broke apart.

The released white hair continued to extend outwards, each strand seemingly alive, constantly interweaving and looping, unexpectedly forming a giant circular wall that trapped everyone present within.

Three thousand feet of white hair!

"It’s your turn now, aren’t you going to make a move?"

The Demon Venerable stared at Zhao Wuxiu.

Zhao Wuxiu looked unusually calm, "How much longer can that body you are possessing last? Aren’t you afraid of really being trapped here?"

The Demon Venerable frowned.

Jiang Shouzhong’s body, not having undergone body tempering, could not withstand her demonic spirit.

Until now, nine ribs had already been broken, forcefully activating the meridians had destroyed twenty-nine acupoints, and the Dantian was showing signs of rupture, with internal organs varying in damage.

The Demon Venerable felt somewhat guilty.

After returning, that boy might actually fight her to the death.

No matter, better to enjoy the fight first.

After all, with the Taoist River Map, as long as the heart isn’t smashed, recovery is relatively quick.

It’s not her own body, she doesn’t care about the damage.

The Demon Venerable scoffed, "Are you scared?"

The sky full of white hair tilted slightly, as if hanging from the high heavens, transforming into countless sharp swords covering the sky and stabbing at Zhao Wuxiu.

The proud figure of Zhao Wuxiu vanished in a flash.

It was merely a simple punch.

The previously orderly and translucent long white hair wildly danced about, becoming a chaotic mess like a bird’s nest, then suddenly exploding into short strands.

The figures of the two continuously intercrossed, with the ground occasionally trembling violently within a few miles radius.

At that moment, the military Saint who had been punched into the palace walked out of the gate, holding a spear with faint golden light flowing around its tip.

He nodded towards the Confucian Saint, as if transmitting some message.

The Confucian Saint glanced at the divine observatory, then gracefully retreated a step, took out a hard brush from his sleeve, exhaled a breath of Haoran Qi upon it, and began to write and draw in mid-air.

Lines of invisible golden script emerged, intermingling with the starlight in the sky.

When the Demon Venerable and Zhao Wuxiu separated for the last time, the dust dispersed like falling rain, with the ground full of pits and dips.

"It turns out you had hidden tricks. I underestimated you," said the Demon Venerable, staring in surprise at Zhao Wuxiu.

She looked towards the military Saint and the Confucian Saint, who was still writing in mid-air, and frowned, "Are you starting the Formation?"

The Demon Venerable was somewhat annoyed at the inadequacies of her current body.

If not for its weaknesses, she would have directly barged into the palace and smashed the Formation’s focal point into pieces.

Forget it, it’s more important to take the Heavenly Order and handle the urgent matters first.

The Demon Venerable flicked her sleeve, her face showing disdain, "All a bunch of losers, it’s too demeaning to fight with you. I’m leaving!"

She turned and left.

Zhao Wuxiu, who should have pursued the Demon Venerable, instead rushed toward Zhou Wei.

Just as Zhou Wei had caught his breath, still with a look of bewilderment on his face, the air beside him suddenly stirred. Then, an icy hand appeared out of nowhere, clasped his throat, and lifted him up.

"With your caliber, do you think you deserve the Haotian Divine Luck?"

"Hand it over!"

The Demon Venerable pressed another hand on Zhou Wei’s chest and clenched her five fingers tightly.

Under the severe pain, Zhou Wei could hardly let out a scream; his eyes bulged, almost popping out as fear and despair overwhelmed him like a tide.

But the next moment, the Demon Venerable’s brow suddenly arched in surprise.

Her hand was forcefully repelled by a surge of power.

The Demon Venerable turned and threw a punch, colliding with Zhao Wuxiu who had arrived. She used his robust and majestic force to fly backward, landing ten yards away.

The Demon Venerable looked down at her hand, which was now a bloody mess from being repelled, then looked up at the night sky and vaguely spotted golden threads criss-crossing.

Stars in a grand chessboard, vast and mysterious.

Reflecting with the imperial palace.

Her gaze fell back on Crown Prince Zhou Wei, tinted with a hint of confusion. After surveying the other people around, the Demon Venerable seemed to understand something and murmured, "So it’s all a setup."

Feeling that this body could no longer sustain her demon soul, the Demon Venerable cursed softly in annoyance and said with a cold smile toward the direction of the royal observatory, "I’m leaving. We’ll meet again!"

The Demon Venerable’s figure dissipated, vanishing on the spot.

Standing on the high platform of the royal observatory, Emperor Zhou Chang said indifferently, "Has she discovered it?"

"She likely has."

The supervisor nodded slightly.

The supervisor looked toward the Emperor with a solemn face and asked, "Do you want to forcefully keep her here?"

"It’s already too late."

Zhou Chang rubbed his forehead somewhat helplessly and said with a smile, "Well, it’s not necessarily a bad thing."

----

The Demon Venerable didn’t return to Jiang Shouzhong’s house; instead, she appeared on a rooftop.

Two people were on the rooftop, one sitting and one standing.

The Demon Venerable, showing an interest, stared at the stunning woman in a purple dress standing on the rooftop and asked, "What is your name?"

"Li Guanshi."

The woman responded with a smile, her hands behind her back, "Seeing the Demon Venerable today fulfills a lifelong dream."

The Demon Venerable then turned her gaze toward Yan Changqing, who was silently smelling a wine pot on the ridge of the roof, and said lightly, "You are quite impressive. Stay alive, and if there’s a chance, I’d like to have a match with you someday."

Yan Changqing waved his hands and laughed, "No, no, I’ve only practiced a little bit of swordsmanship."

The corners of the Demon Venerable’s lips curved slightly, and she turned to leave.

Unable to help herself, Li Guanshi exclaimed, "Who could have thought the Demon Venerable was still alive? The world is really going to be in turmoil."

"I only care about my daughter, whether it’s peaceful or not doesn’t concern me."

Yan Changqing spoke nonchalantly.

Li Guanshi was silent for a while before asking softly, "How much effort do you think Zhao Wuxiu put forth?"

"Who knows, that bastard knows we are watching. He definitely didn’t go all out, afraid that we’d figure out his limits."

Yan Changqing coldly chuckled, "Too bad the Demon Venerable is just a possessing soul. If her real body had come, I don’t believe Zhao Wuxiu would dare be so arrogant."

...

In the inn.

Shen Shengyuan was hesitating whether or not to take a risk and go to the imperial palace to see what was actually going on when suddenly, a white-haired, sinister "woman" appeared in the room.

It took a long while for Shen Shengyuan to recover his senses, and he knelt heavily on the ground, tremblingly saying, "Protector of the Sky Demon Sect, Shen Shengyuan, greets the Demon Venerable!"

Meanwhile, Qu Hongling just stood there in a daze.

She stared blankly at the Demon Venerable, her lips trembling slightly, "Jiang?"
