Chapter 1056: Chapter 707: Purification

And as the dazzling green light gradually dissipated, the Royal Guards opened their eyes, only to discover with fear and trepidation.

A deep gash stretching hundreds of meters appeared on the once stable ground, separating them from the carriage.

And in front of the mansion, the Priestess of Summer was trembling with both hands.

Standing not far from Li Changhe, from her perspective, she could only watch helplessly as Li Changhe produced a bizarre weapon and unleashed a slash of green light towards the distance.

That fierce slash violently ripped through the earth, cutting through any obstruction in its path.

It created a deep mark that hindered the attacks of the Royal Guards.

This single slash intimidated everyone present.

The Royal Guards were so terrified by this frightening slash that they dared not move, let alone surround the carriage.

This allowed the handsome man on the carriage a moment to catch his breath. He immediately suppressed the shock in his heart and tried to continue driving the carriage forward.

But he found that his horses, too, had been shaken by that violent strength and would not advance another step. The man then quickly returned to the carriage, helped his wife off, and walked briskly towards Li Changhe.

During this time... no one dared to make a move.

Just like Li Changhe said, this was not so much a request as it was a tangible threat. Anyone who dared to take further action would undoubtedly face his attack.

He had already clearly demonstrated his strength with his actions.

"Lord of Xuan City above..." the Priestess of Summer forced herself to calm down, as she indeed had heard from the Priestess of Spring about this ’Chen Guang’s’ background.

Yet she had not anticipated his terrifying destructive power. A slash... just one slash! And it had caused such devastation!

"If he really intends to strike against the Queen as Spring has mentioned, can I really delay him? Am I able to delay him?" The Priestess of Summer clenched her fists subconsciously as she watched Li Changhe’s retreating figure.

Compared to Spring, who could perceive the hearts of men, and Autumn, who could captivate them, the Priestess of Summer had stronger combat abilities.

Being extremely irritable by nature, she was a widely known boxer before undergoing the Queen’s transformation.

And the ability she gained after the transformation was to convert her fury into tangible combat strength.

Put simply, the angrier she became, the stronger her power grew. Even if her anger was unfounded, she could still accumulate her fury.

And coupled with the unique proficiency of Xuan City warriors against men.

When facing male enemies, she could unleash unimaginable destructive power.

"Should I take the chance to attack him now? I might not get another opportunity if I miss this one!" The Priestess of Summer thought to herself as Li Changhe currently had his back turned to her, and they were less than ten meters apart. With her strength, this distance was ideal for an ambush. With her twenty years of arduous training, along with the upper hand against males, she believed she should be able to inflict significant damage on him.

Although, this ’Chen Guang’ had not yet fallen out with the Queen, and the Queen intended to win him over. If she were to act, she would likely face punishment from the Queen...

Yet, having witnessed that earth-shattering slash, the Priestess of Summer was full of fear, finding it even hard to muster any anger.

Would she really just watch as that infant was taken away by him? That was one of the Queen’s most valued research results.

That couple, presumptive citizens of the Inner City, had defied the Queen’s orders. They even planned to take the result away, dammit! They must not be allowed to succeed!

Just as the Priestess of Summer began to feel a flash of anger, strengthening her power,

Xiao Nan, who was by Li Changhe’s side, seemed to sense something and turned to glance at the Priestess of Summer.

Just one look was enough to make the Priestess of Summer feel a chill of murderous intent, as if her blood was being frozen. It was as though the temperature around her had dropped significantly.

The Priestess of Summer’s expression stiffened, as she clearly realized that if she were to strike, she would inevitably be the one to die.

As for Xiao Nan, he withdrew his gaze, knowing that if the Priestess of Summer acted rashly, her body would be torn apart before her fist could land.

This distance might be ideal for the Priestess of Summer’s ambush, but wasn’t it the same for Xiao Nan?

Invisible water blades had already enveloped the space around the Priestess of Summer, and if she were cut by even the slightest wound, Xiao Nan could either vaporize or freeze her blood.

For non-divine creatures, Xiao Nan’s abilities were hard to defend against or parry.

"It seems I’ve fallen into the Insect God’s trap. I’m sorry, girl," Li Changhe whispered.

Xiao Nan shook her head slightly, knowing how heavy and painful the recent scene had been for Li Changhe.

His mother, the mute woman, had saved him from the Three Corpses God’s locked fairy array in the same state.

Even though Li Changhe had smeared the Three Corpses God on the Black Great Wall, his rage was far from extinguished.

As the nemesis of the Three Corpses God, he felt no pleasure in revenge after the Three Corpses God was extinguished.

Now, facing this scene again, he couldn’t possibly bear it.

As for the strategy of the Insect God, Li Changhe was awakened from his sleep by the call of the Insect God, which also made him passively witness this scene.

And he intervened before that couple was captured by the Royal Guard of Xuan City.

No doubt, the couple was also informed by the call of the Insect God that they could get help from Li Changhe, so they desperately came here.

"We’ve been ensnared..." they both thought. Then, Li Changhe took out a vial of High-Efficiency Healing Liquid and threw it to the handsome man approaching, saying, "Drink this, it will heal your wounds."

The man showed a grateful expression. After taking the healing liquid, he tasted it himself to ensure there were no issues, then let his wife drink it.

As the Effect of the healing liquid took hold, their wounds began to heal rapidly.

The infant in their arms, seemingly sensing that his parents were safe, calmed down and stopped crying.

The Priestess of Summer looked grim, but she dared not make a move, and the Royal Guard seemed uncertain what to do.

At that moment, a voice came from the distance.

"Everyone, stand down," the voice said, tinged with a hint of amusement.

The next second, a lithe figure appeared behind the Priestess of Summer.

It was none other than the Queen of Xuan City.

At this moment, she was not clad in a Dragon Robe, but wore a hemp garment resembling a White Robe, stained with spots of blood.

She wore a smile on her face, wiping the blood from her hands with a towel as she stepped closer.

The invisible water blades Xiao Nan had set up around the Priestess of Summer were wiped away, inflicting no harm upon her.

The Queen of Xuan City glanced at the huge deep gouge on the ground.

Smiling, she said, "Little Chen Guang, you’ve given me so many surprises. I never expected you to possess such strength."

Then, turning to the swaddled baby in the couple’s arms, she said, "See that? That is my latest research achievement, an individual born with the ability to influence the Divine Country. She’s more excellent than any being I’ve created. The union of two inner city residents has given birth to a being that surpasses them, an existence of a higher order. Although there are minor flaws, with your help, we will soon research a more suitable solution."

"Then you should take better care of this infant, instead of hunting her parents," Li Changhe responded gloomily.

"They are precious beings who gave birth to this perfect individual. I treasure them too much to harm them," the Queen of Xuan City said with a slight smile. "They have an even more important Task."

"Then what do you plan to use this infant for?" Xiao Nan asked.

"Of course, to further purify," the Queen of Xuan City tilted her head, displaying an alluring smile, "Human genes are more resilient than we imagined. Even the True Blood of the Insect God struggles to completely replace human genes. This fact gives us a means to elevate life."

"A means?"

"Correct, to tame the Divine Blood, I’ve spared no effort," the Queen of Xuan City said. "After the infusion of Divine Blood, due to individual differences, each recipient reacts differently. Those completely incompatible will immediately become deformed, with no research value."

"Yet those who can adapt to the Divine Blood are eligible for elevation of life."

"Among the offspring they produce, a certain probability exists that they improve their own adaptability to the True Blood. And the True Blood extracted from those offspring yields a higher success rate, allowing us to obtain more exemplary offspring. Those offspring, in turn, will beget even more potent descendants. Now, we have evolved to the seventh generation of True Blood."

"And this..." the Queen of Xuan City looked at the infant in the arms of the couple with a smile, "is our eighth generation True Blood!"
