Chapter 1086: Chapter 951: The Empress’s Conspiracy Chapter 1086: Chapter 951: The Empress’s Conspiracy Seal Tower

In the grey and hazy Mortal World and Continent, rusty chains swung in the pouring rain.

Through the curtain of rain, a golden Flame Phoenix flapped its wings, turning raindrops into a multitude of dazzling golden spots that densely fell upon the ground.

Astride the Golden Fire Phoenix was the Female War Goddess Mu Qingyi. Over these two months, she had visited the Seal Tower numerous times but never managed to find the creature that had broken the Heavenly Chains.

Following her observations during this period, Mu Qingyi discovered many previously sealed Soul Pets’ Internal Organ Crystals, Soul Cores, and Soul Crystals had been stolen, turning the prisoners that should have been sealed for a long time into mere corpses.

“Murmur~~~~~~~~~~”

The Crowned Phoenix King with its golden pupils let out a soft cry and suddenly flew towards the ground.

Mu Qingyi’s gaze immediately fell on the ground traversed by the two chains, where she abruptly found a piece of blue flower petal, withered and lying between the chains–if one didn’t look carefully, it would have been entirely missed.

Mu Qingyi furrowed her brow and examined the blue petal closely. She remembered this distinctive petal, which was supposed to fill the Flower Queen’s palace. But why would there be several petals here?

The Seal Tower was not under the jurisdiction of the Empress, and only a few select individuals had access, certainly not including the Empress’s subordinates like Xia Zhixian who would enter without giving notice.

While filled with confusion, Mu Qingyi suddenly noticed some strange changes in the clouds in the sky, followed by streaks of light that shimmered on the horizon like divine miracles–breathtakingly beautiful!

“Who has opened the Totem’s gate?” Mu Qingyi stood dumbfounded. That was clearly a sign of someone entering the Seal Tower.

However, the authority to open and close the Seal Tower was controlled by Mu Qingyi and Xiong Shou Yuan Sui. There wasn’t supposed to be anyone else who could enter the tower on their own!

Mu Qingyi sensed something fishy and immediately had the Crowned Phoenix King transform into a lark form, calling forth Emperor Si Ye, a Dark Elemental Soul Pet enveloped in a Dark Cloak, revealing only a cold skull.

“Stay hidden,” Mu Qingyi said to her Dark Soul Pet.

Emperor Si Ye unfurled its cloak, turning into a dense shadow before gradually fading into the rain, slowly moving in that direction.

…

“This time let’s kill that Abyss Beast that has been imprisoned for more than a hundred years; we’re roughly ten Internal Organ Crystals short. A few more visits, and we should be able to resolve it,” said a man atop a cyan Huge Eagle, speaking through the curtain of rain.

Mu Qingyi watched this man from a distance. She recognized him; it was Bin Liao of the Eight Desolates, who now seemed to be serving the Empress and Xia Zhixian!

Beside Bin Liao was a woman whom Mu Qingyi had also seen on several occasions. She appeared to be one of the Empress’s subordinates, an extremely powerful Flower type soul pet master named Hua Qin.

However, the concealed Mu Qingyi in the rain was raging with anger, for she hadn’t expected the sealed prisoners to be killed by Bin Liao and Hua Qin, who seemed to have already collected a good number of Internal Organ Crystals inside the Seal Tower, no wonder the number of corpses was growing!

Initially, Mu Qingyi thought it was the act of Chu Tianmang’s Soul Pet that had broken free of its chains. Had she not been extra vigilant this time, she would never have known how many lives these two would have stealthily taken.

“No, these two wouldn’t dare to commit such an act,” Mu Qingyi quickly realized a more serious issue.

It was clear that both were subordinates of the Empress, which meant it was very likely that the person stealing the Internal Organ Crystals of the high-grade Soul Pets in the Seal Tower was possibly the Empress herself!

But thinking of the aloof, transcendent woman, Mu Qingyi felt uncertain. Could the Empress, kind, compassionate, and full of mercy, really have done such a thing?

“I must find out the truth!” Mu Qingyi suppressed her inner fury, did not stop these two from their present act, and instead, followed them covertly.

The pair spoke little and, after forcibly opening the seal, immediately killed the Soul Pet inside before snatching its Internal Organ Crystal.

Mu Qingyi had kept count. Several Peak Emperors had already died in the Seal Tower, and even more high-grade Emperors, while the number of other realms was too vast to enumerate. Such a huge number of gathered Internal Organ Crystals would create an immense energy force. If these bodies were all the work of the same person…

It was either a terrible conspiracy brewing or someone satisfying their vast and personal desires!

After the two thieves left, Mu Qingyi didn’t continue to follow them. She didn’t want to spook them but was determined to uncover the truth step by step.

After Bin Liao and Hua Qin departed, Mu Qingyi left the interior of the Seal Tower and returned to her palace.

“Your Highness, did you find any clues today?” Fang Wu approached and, seeing Mu Qingyi with a grave expression, asked.

Mu Qingyi described what she had just witnessed and then asked, “Fang Wu, what do you think?”

“That’s unlikely, isn’t it? It could be Bin Liao’s own desires…” Fang Wu seemed reluctant to suspect the Empress.

“I also think that’s the case,” Mu Qingyi nodded.

“However, your subordinate believes it’s still necessary for Your Highness to ascertain the truth of the matter, just in case–it is no trivial issue,” Fang Wu said.

“Mm, when night falls, we shall quietly enter her palace…” Mu Qingyi didn’t feel at ease without getting to the bottom of this.

…

Fang Wu had been in and out of the Emperor Flower Palace and was quite familiar with its layout. At nightfall, Mu Qingyi and Fang Wu, riding their Dark Elemental Soul Pets, silently infiltrated the Emperor Flower Palace.

The Emperor Flower Palace was vast, adorned with blue flowers everywhere. The palace walls and standing columns were entwined with emerald-green branches and vines. Stepping in here was like entering a palace in fairyland, where one could unwittingly become intoxicated by the fragrant and beautiful surroundings.

Neither Mu Qingyi nor Fang Wu had a clear direction, as the empress’s chamber was bound to be heavily guarded and extremely difficult to enter.

“Your Highness, I discovered some special arrangements in the Emperor Flower Palace’s main courtyard a while ago that looked somewhat like floral patterns. Out of curiosity, I went to inspect them but was nervously stopped by the flower maidens. I think something might be hidden there,” Fang Wu whispered to Mu Qingyi.

“Hm, let’s take a look,” Mu Qingyi nodded and let Fang Wu lead the way.

Two dense shadows passed through the interlacing corridors, drifted over many plant-filled yards, and approached the main courtyard.

The main courtyard of the Emperor Flower Palace was very large, like a small garden, surrounded by high walls covered in flowering branches and seemingly also concealed by a barrier.

Such a barrier didn’t pose much of a hindrance to Mu Qingyi, so the two of them easily entered the main courtyard.

Inside the main courtyard, in fact, there wasn’t a single plant, but instead, a variety of colored flowers planted all over the ground, like intertwined ribbons, forming a sprawling and intricate Earth Painting.

Mu Qingyi swept her gaze across and noticed that these differently-colored flowers seemed to emit a strange energy. Even though they were stunningly beautiful, they made her wary.

Mu Qingyi moved forward slowly and suddenly felt something like energy spilling from under her feet.

She knelt down, sweeping away the soil.

In the next moment, Mu Qingyi’s expression turned grave, for she had found a very high-grade Internal Organ Crystal!

This Internal Organ Crystal was buried beneath the flower stalks, and the roots continuously absorbed energy from it, as if constantly taking in nutrients!

Mu Qingyi continued to search and found that several places in this floral ground were almost filled with Internal Organ Crystals, Soul Cores, and Soul Crystals, all of which became the energy source for the flowers planted above!

“It really is her!” Waves of shock surged within Mu Qingyi. She had never imagined that the empress would actually have people steal the lives of the prisoners in the Seal Tower and use their Internal Organ Crystals, Soul Cores, and Soul Crystals as energy to cultivate floral plants!

Mu Qingyi wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes. Beneath the empress’s detached exterior lay such private desires and ambition–it was simply too unbelievable!

“Sister Mu, why not come to my boudoir for a chat during your late-night visit? It’s quite dangerous out here,” suddenly, an ethereal, song-like voice floated in!

Although the voice was melodious, it sent a shiver down Mu Qingyi’s spine. She hadn’t expected to still be discovered by her despite such concealment!

“Why bother with such useless words, sister? I just want to know why the lives that should belong to the prisoners within the Seal Tower are now in the soil of your garden. Is it that Bin Liao and Hua Qin used these things to please you without your knowledge, or did you direct them to do it?” Mu Qingyi didn’t want to exchange pleasantries and asked directly.

The moment she finished speaking, an empress dressed in a golden silk sleep robe, with a golden mask, slowly floated over from the adjacent main hall. Her star-like bright eyes were fixed on Mu Qingyi, who was clad in black, and she couldn’t help but laugh provocatively.

“Sister Mu, you really look dashing in this outfit,” the empress teased, then her crescent moon-like eyebrows lightly rose as she continued, “Do you wish to know why these energy crystals are here?”

Mu Qingyi suddenly sensed a hint of murderous intent in the empress’s laughter and was already prepared to utter a spell.

“Because, sister Mu, all these are actually prepared for you,” the empress’s beautiful voice suddenly turned cold, and at that moment, a tremendous aura of dread rolled over like a massive tidal wave!

Mu Qingyi’s face turned pale–not from the empress but from the Sea of Flowers forming a giant Earth Painting under her feet!

Mu Qingyi turned around instantly and saw Fang Wu quickly retreating at this moment!

“You!” Mu Qingyi’s face swelled red with anger, and her eyes blazed with fury!

Indeed, it was a conspiracy!!!

But Mu Qingyi could never have anticipated that this conspiracy was actually set up against her!!!
