book of troubled times

Chapter 917: The Destroyer of Reputation Performs Steadily

Emperor Kurumu had no idea that Ye Wuming would admit in person that she was someone's wife, and he would feel ashamed and overwhelmed with emotions. He felt that this person's simple answer was filled with murderous intent, which was quite puzzling.

Why are you so fierce... Are you upset because I asked "one"? But you are one.

Ye Wuming was very annoyed. Were you sent by Zhao Changhe to wait for me here?
The incident happened suddenly, and the other party didn't dare to trust anyone rashly. It was natural and normal for him to want to confirm the information, but did he have to ask this question...

In fact, the aura of Ye Wuming and Zhao Changhe was similar, not entirely due to dual cultivation. Although they had transferred, they had not really dual cultivated, and the blending of auras was not so clear. The real reason was that Ye Wuming was carrying the Xinghe Sword, and Zhao Changhe was her true inheritance in this respect, and they were clearly consistent.

Ye Wuming originally thought that the first reaction of the Dead Wood Emperor would be that they were from the same lineage, or even that he would be more satisfied if he was more sensible and thought that it was Master Zhao Changhe. However, his first reaction was to think that this was caused by dual cultivation...

How can you, a great emperor, have such a train of thought? Would you become like this after coming into contact with Zhao Changhe?

God knows how deep a psychological shadow Ye Jiuyou’s words “there are more than two” had brought to Emperor Kurumu.

How to answer this? If I say no, it will obviously cause trouble, and I will have to explain what the relationship is. If I say that she is my master surnamed Zhao, then the other party will believe it. If I say that they are from the same school, then the relationship may not be close. There are many people from the same school who are enemies. It's just looking for trouble. After thinking for a few seconds, I found that the easiest way is to admit that she is indeed his wife. It is straightforward and the most consistent.

Emperor Ku Mu got the expected answer, and it really became simple. He stroked his beard and sighed: "Sisters from the other side, Brother Zhao's handiwork is truly amazing. It turns out that 'more than two' is not an empty statement..."

Sigh, sister. Ye Wuming almost wanted to stab him with the galaxy in his hand, and said with a breath: "This is not the time for idle chat."

Emperor Ku Mu nodded and said, "Just now I sent your husband to the vicinity of the black hole. Your husband and your sister...oh, is it your elder sister or younger sister?...they said they wanted to practice there...Could it be that they happened to find Luochuan there? How is the situation now?"

Respect your sister's husband, why do you care whether I am the elder sister or the younger sister?

Ye Wuming took a deep breath and barely suppressed the urge to stab someone: "There might be Luo Chuan's lair hidden over there, and there might be other demons inside and outside."

Emperor Ku Mu said, "Your Excellency, do you want me to take action against other people?"

Ye Wuming said: "If Luochuan had seen that the Emperor sent Zhao...sent my husband to the black hole, he would have known that our two families were planning to unite. He would not wait until we cooperated to hunt, but would have taken advantage of the separation between you and me to ambush us now."

"so?"

"We set up a trap with ourselves as bait. We are confident that we can break it, but we are not confident that he can't escape. This is the Emperor's home ground. The stars outside are all integrated into one, and the stars are like a sky net. We don't need the Emperor to attack us head-on. We just need to restrain the stars."

Emperor Ku Mu pondered for a moment and said, "It is possible... but it will make a lot of noise and may attract the attention of the other two forbidden areas. Can you make a quick decision?"

Ye Wuming said calmly: "It hasn't even started yet, so who can be sure whether we can win quickly... Whether we can withstand the efforts of others is an important part of our cooperation. Wouldn't the Emperor consider it now?"

Emperor Ku Mu smiled slightly: "But I was just testing whether you really knew the content of our cooperation. Now it seems that she is indeed Daoist Zhao's wife."

Ye Wuming was talking about something else. He was full of anger. "Of course, only a broad-minded person like my husband who makes friends all over the world would consider someone as a helper even though we haven't discussed the details of the cooperation. If it were up to me, I wouldn't come at all. I hope the emperor won't let my husband down."

After saying this, he turned away and disappeared: "The war has begun, Emperor, make a quick decision."

Even if the battle hadn't started, Ye Wuming couldn't continue. He kept saying "my husband" more and more fluently, and it was really a torture to change from writing and blowing the river to blowing with his mouth. It would be fine if no one familiar heard it, but Ruoyu was curled up in the galaxy at the moment, looking at it with her chin on her hand...

Ye Wuming didn’t dare to look at Ling Ruoyu’s expression and quickly returned to his original form.

A great war is breaking out in her original Heavenly Book at this moment.

…………

Luochuan’s first choice was to push the heavenly book into the depths of the black hole.

From previous observations, it can be felt that Zhao Changhe seems to have broken through to the other side, and Ye Jiuyou beside him seems to have also broken through. By extension, Ye Wuming, who was originally the ceiling of the Heavenly Book World, should have reached the other side.

The other side of the family...even if it's just in the early stages. If you're smart, you should stay as far away as possible and never appear in front of this family again.

But the obsession that has lasted for thousands of years is not so easy to eliminate, so Luochuan still chooses to think that their strength is a bit fake.

Less than twenty days ago, Zhao Changhe was fleeing in panic without any resistance under your pursuit, and he broke through to the other side in just twenty days. Do you think the other side is the entrance?
As long as the Ye sisters have not merged, theoretically they will never be able to reach the other side. Luo Chuan, as the instigator, is well aware of this.

There is a high probability that this family is bluffing...

Of course, Luochuan also believed that if they were given more time, it would be possible for them to break through, and now was the last chance.

Push the Heavenly Book to the core of the black hole, and the world will be in turmoil, and everything will be crushed to pieces. The opponent's strongest combat force is Ye Wuming. As a book spirit, he must protect the creatures in the book and use all his strength to fight the black hole, so that Ye Wuming's combat power can be wasted there, and as for others, he can slowly deal with them - the opponent he cares about most in his heart is Ye Wuming from beginning to end.

Luo Chuan flashed to the side of the Heavenly Book and pushed it with his palm.

The heavenly book that was hidden in the void dimension was directly pushed into shape and turned into a meteor rushing straight towards the black hole.

Luo Chuan followed closely beside him and thrust his palm once again, directly into the interior of the Heavenly Book.

He knew better than anyone where the source of the Heavenly Book Realm was... that was Ye Jiuyou's Nine Nether Abyss. As long as he destroyed its source, he could once again intervene to define the rules of this world and compete with the Ye sisters for control of the world.

I just witnessed Zhao Changhe hugging Ye Jiuyou and kissing them while rolling into the Heavenly Book. If nothing unexpected happened, the couple were mating at this time. Were they dumbfounded by this sudden attack?
The palm was inserted into the Heavenly Book. In the eyes of the creatures in the world, a giant palm fell from the sky, as if it was going to smash the entire earth to pieces with one palm.

An excited smile appeared on Luochuan's face.

The next moment the smile froze on his face.

A flash of knife light spanned across the sky and earth, judging the universe, and it flew and slashed at the place where his wrist was inserted, as if to keep the entire palm within the boundary.

The ground where the palm fell seemed to have turned into a dark vortex, with Ye Jiuyou suspended in it, his long hair fluttering and his eyes closed.

At this moment Luo Chuan couldn't even tell whether this was Ye Jiuyou or Ye Wuming. He only knew that the other party's strength was truly beyond measure!

There is a black hole outside the realm, and there is also a black hole inside the realm. Where Ye Jiuyou is located is the place of purest chaos and extinction.

When the palm is slapped into it, it is as if one is trapped in a whirlpool, unable to escape. The terrifying power of annihilation melts the heaven and earth, and everything in it will turn to ashes, returning to the original vacuum of the universe.

After only a moment's delay, Zhao Changhe's knife cut across his wrist.

Luochuan let out a painful roar, wishing that the hand that he had been longing to break into the realm for two epochs had never come in.

Fortunately, he was not easy to deal with. The next moment, the palm in the eyes of Zhao Changhe and his wife suddenly became blurred and disappeared.

Outside the Heavenly Book, Luo Chuan covered his palms, his wrists were covered in blood and part of his fingertips had disappeared, as if he had been skinned alive.

In a flash, Zhao Changhe had already jumped from inside the book to outside. With a standard frog jump, all the gods and Buddhas fell on his head: "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Dang!" A flying sword appeared before his eyes, blocking the sword that could cut through the dimension.

The energy waves of the collision spread across the void, and the floating celestial bodies in the distance silently turned into ashes. Ye Jiuyou's figure appeared behind Luo Chuan like a ghost, and slapped his back with her jade hand. The hatred and murderous intent in her eyes seemed to be real.

She was the one who hated Luochuan the most, even more than Ye Wuming... and this was actually her first head-on battle with Luochuan.

A strange soul flag appeared behind Luo Chuan and blocked Ye Jiuyou's attack.

In an instant, myriad souls howled and the void of the universe turned into a hell of ghosts.

A sword and a banner... This was also the first time that Luochuan used all his magic weapons in battle.

The front and back attacks collided almost at the same time, and the three of them groaned. Luochuan did not move, while Zhao Changhe and Ye Jiuyou were each shaken away, floating in the void for tens of thousands of miles.

Blood was oozing from the corners of the couple's mouths, but their eyes became colder and fiercer as they looked towards Central Luochuan.

As expected, when Luo Chuan gave his all, he was still stronger than everyone else… Ye Wuming was able to withstand it because he borrowed the power of the entire Heavenly Book World, which they did not have.

But compared to the experience of not being able to take a single blow and having to flee for his life after being hit with blood spurting out of his body... now this small gap is commonplace in all the battles Zhao Changhe has fought in his lifetime, and there are countless gaps that are even bigger than this.

In Zhao Changhe's eyes, this gap is not just "a disparity", it can be called "equally matched"!

Looking at Luo Chuan's shocked expression, Zhao Changhe showed his brilliant white teeth: "Surprised? Unexpected?"

Luo Chuan took a deep breath and said, "Did you know I was nearby?"

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have done this. I'm surprised and delighted to find you." Zhao Changhe smiled slightly. "We were originally thinking about how to find the dog hole where you were hiding. We were worried about whether the witchcraft would backfire or whether it would arouse your vigilance and make you flee far away. We were so confused. In the end, you showed up and surprised us, which would be disrespectful. So, brother, there is no benefit in being obsessed with the devil. How come you don't have this knowledge even though you have cultivated to the other side?"

Luo Chuan did not comment: "Twenty days ago, you were far from having this ability."

"Then I have to thank you, Excellency. I will never forget your teachings, and I will definitely repay you."

Luochuan: "..."

I taught you a fucking lesson. I almost killed you with my magical powers. It's fine that you survived, but you were able to absorb the experience from the other side from that blow and turn it into your own nutrients. This kind of talent is simply unparalleled in the world. Luochuan has been traveling across the Wanxiang Star Region for so many years and has never seen another one.

"It seems that Zhao Changhe's rise in this world is no fluke... I originally thought that you were able to rise so quickly because of the power of the Heavenly Book, or even received initiation from Ye Wuming. Now it seems that I was wrong. With such talent, even without the Heavenly Book, you can still draw conclusions from the battles."

"You're too kind... Without the Heavenly Book, I wouldn't have been so fast. Of course, I'm much better than you. After all, after you encountered the Heavenly Book, the crazy demons on the other side of the shore stopped doing well and were driven into a lost dog."

Luochuan: "..."

"If it's not yours, it's not yours. You must have studied the cause and effect thoroughly. Why force it?" Zhao Changhe sighed, "A natural treasure belongs to those who are destined to have it. If you had been nicer to the book spirit when you first saw the heavenly book, even if you couldn't subdue it, you could at least make friends with it. Look at what a mess you've done."

"No need to be sarcastic. The devil is fighting against the heavens, and all they want to do is conquer. If they can't conquer, then they will be destroyed."

"Actually, I want to conquer, too, but we have different battlefields in mind."

Luochuan: "..."

In just a few sentences, Luochuan was speechless three times.

This was his first time to formally communicate with Zhao Changhe and others, and he never thought that the communication template would be like this. What puzzled him even more was that Ye Jiuyou's eyes were clearly burning with hatred for him, and she wanted to cut him into pieces, but when Zhao Changhe said these nonsense, she didn't show any impatience at all, and quietly suppressed her emotions and listened behind him.

It seems that Zhao Changhe's conquest of the battlefield is indeed more useful, which is emotional, from body to mind.

But most people can't learn this trick. At least Luochuan has been a virgin all his life, and in this aspect he is not even as good as an apprentice of Xuanguan.

Of course, Luo Chuan also knew that Zhao Changhe would not chat with him out of boredom, and this conversation was clearly meant to delay time. Luo Chuan's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly asked, "Where is Ye Wuming?"

I originally thought that Ye Wuming must be protecting the world, but now it seems something is not right.

The Heavenly Book did not continue to be absorbed by the black hole, but instead consciously slipped into Zhao Changhe's arms. Zhao Changhe did not move, and the Heavenly Book was as steady as a mountain.

Luo Chuan felt quite shocked. This Heavenly Book clearly did not recognize its master, but what was the difference between this behavior and recognizing its master?
Imagining Ye Wuming like a little bird hiding in the man's arms, Luochuan felt a chill.

Ye Jiuyou behind him said calmly: "Do you think Ye Wuming will honestly protect her in the realm and waste her top combat power on such a thing?"

Luo Chuan was startled: "Oops!"

Far in the depths of the black hole, at the intersection of annihilation and creation, Ye Wuming, holding the Milky Way, stopped a figure who was building a space channel to attack the battlefield: "Daoyou, please stay."

Familiar lines, but they don't come from Earth.

It came from the time when the family of three went out for a trip and Ye Wuming’s space channel was blocked by someone, and that’s what the other party said at the time.

That battle leaked his aura, causing Luo Chuan to come looking for him, and Zhao Changhe was injured while running away with the ball. The more far-reaching impact was that Ye Wuming abandoned his soul and merged with Ye Jiuyou, resulting in him being humiliated by the adulterers for more than ten days.

Speaking of resentment, Ye Wuming's resentment about this is the greatest.

The figure she was stopping at this moment was the demon cultivator who had intercepted her family of three.

The demon cultivator was also somewhat shocked when he saw Ye Wuming suddenly appear. "You are... the cultivator from the cave at that time? How did you find this place?"

Ye Wuming said calmly: "I originally just wanted to come here to cut off Luochuan's retreat, but I didn't expect to gain something else."

The demon cultivator recovered from his shock and sneered, "Back then, none of you three dared to fight me. Now you are alone with your sword. Are you here to die?"

Ye Wuming showed a mocking smile, his figure flashed, and the stars passed by: "I really thought that I didn't fight you because I was afraid of you..."

The demon cultivator tried to resist in horror, but found that this sword was unavoidable. It cut through time, pierced space, severed the eternal river, and prevented changes in the four dimensions.

The void was stagnant and shattered into pieces, and the demon cultivator was turned into thousands of pieces, no longer in human form.

Ye Wuming didn't even look at the tragic scene behind him, and took a step forward towards Luochuan's lair: "You didn't have to die so miserably, but it's a pity that you said the wrong thing."

The demon cultivator didn't know what he said wrong until his death. Was it because he said "going to die" that made the evil woman unhappy?
He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. What Ye Wuming was thinking was why everyone said she was his wife wherever he went? Even passers-by said we were a family of three...

Ling Ruoyu sighed into the sword.

Why don't you just admit it...
