Becoming Invincible By Marrying The Ultimate Villainess - Chapter 57 - Chapter 57 – The Saintess’s Hidden Move — Ning Ye Sets Out to Slay the Dragon!

What!!!

Second Prince, Wu Lintian!

Third Prince, Wu You!

Third Princess Consort, Nian Nu Jiao!

All of them are demonic path practitioners?

Not only that!

Even the Crown Prince Wu Chen, the Princess Consort Mu Lin, and even… the current Empress… are all demonic path practitioners?!

“Isn’t it?”

“Has Jun Qianyue gone mad?”

“Or am I the one who’s mad?”

At this moment, all the high-ranking officials in the Junlin Palace were completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at Jun Qianyue.

It wasn’t just them, even the Ten Great Generals of Junlin were stunned!

“Jun… Jun Qianyue!”

“What on earth are you babbling about?”

Wu Yao gritted her teeth and angrily scolded Jun Qianyue. In her view, Jun Qianyue was clearly trying to incite rebellion. How else could she fabricate these baseless charges against her family? Surely, she knew whether her brothers were demonic path practitioners or not.

“Nonsense?”

“Princess, this might not be so simple!”

Jun Qianyue spoke calmly, and then raised her hand to snap her fingers.

Immediately, Qianye entered the hall with a woman by her side.

The woman wore a veil and a hood, making it impossible to see her face.

The next second, the woman raised her hand and removed the veil, revealing a delicate and elegant face, stunning everyone in the room.

“Empress… Empress Yun Jin!!!”

The nobles and Ten Great Generals present all gasped in shock.

“Empress Yun Jin!”

Ning Ye froze for a moment.

Wait… wasn’t Empress Yun Jin killed by Mu Lingxi in Against the Nine Heavens?

How could she possibly appear here, unharmed?

It seemed… following the original plot blindly wasn’t going to work anymore. The scenes he once thought were absolute truth—might not be the real story after all.

“Mother… Mother!”

Wu Yao was frozen in place, staring at the person in disbelief.

“Yao’er, you’ve grown up!”

Yun Jin gently nodded at Wu Yao, her eyes misty with emotion.

“Wait!”

“If you’re truly my mother…”

“Then who is she?”

Yun Jin suddenly turned her head, gazing at the woman behind the curtain.

“She?”

“She’s a big shot!”

“The former Saintess of the Yin Yang Sect, Mu Lingxi!”

Jun Qianyue casually spoke the name.

What!!!

The woman sitting in the high seat… is actually the former Saintess of the Yin Yang Sect?!

At this moment, the high-ranking nobles in the Junlin Palace instinctively took a step back.

Everyone had heard of the Yin Yang Sect, and they knew just how terrifying it was!

Killing and creating puppets!

Poison arts and insect curses beyond imagination!

Even… the Nine Heavens’ deadliest poison, the Love Poison Gu, came from the Yin Yang Sect!

“Jun Qianyue!”

“Are you fabricating crimes just to accuse others?”

From behind the curtain, Mu Lingxi’s face turned completely cold.

“Master!”

Mu Lin’s face turned ashen as she looked at Mu Lingxi, realizing that they had been outmaneuvered by Jun Qianyue today.

“Fabricating crimes?”

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

“Your Highness Saintess, you really do have a hard mouth!”

Jun Qianyue shook her head, and with a nonchalant step, she slowly approached Mu Lin.

“You… What do you want?”

Mu Lin’s eyes trembled as she looked at Jun Qianyue, instinctively taking a step back.

“Don’t worry!”

“Thanks to someone, I won’t do anything to you!”

Jun Qianyue shook her head and spoke softly.

With that, she raised her hand and gently swiped at the Crown Prince Wu Chen beside Mu Lin.

Whoosh!

Wu Chen’s head flew up high.

Dark blood immediately drenched the palace floor.

With a loud crash, Wu Chen’s body fell to the ground, and black smoke rose from his corpse… Until, eventually, his body completely disappeared, leaving behind only a pool of thick black blood.

“This… This is a spiritual puppet!”

Elder Tianji’s pupils contracted sharply. Initially, he had come with some doubts, but after seeing this, it seemed Jun Qianyue’s words were true. The Junlin Empire had indeed been infiltrated by demonic forces.

“How is it?”

“Lady Saintess, do you have anything to say now?”

Jun Qianyue asked calmly.

Hehehe…

Behind the curtain, Mu Lingxi couldn’t help but laugh out loud, her eyes nearly tearing up from the laughter. She looked at Jun Qianyue with admiration and spoke.

“Jun Second Miss, you truly live up to your reputation!”

“Your methods are quite impressive!”

“Today, I’ll admit, you’ve outdone me!”

“We’ll meet again.”

“Oh?”

Jun Qianyue raised an eyebrow and asked, her voice tinged with amusement.

“What?”

“Does Lady Saintess think that you and I still have a future?”

Hmm!

Mu Lingxi nodded, her expression full of meaning and confidence.

“You cannot stop me!”

“Go ahead, try and see!”

“Fine!”

Jun Qianyue responded coldly, ready to take action.

But just at that moment, a sharp dragon’s roar tore through the skies!

Boom!!

The Wu Capital shook violently!

On the mountainside behind the palace, a massive creature erupted from the Dragon Abyss!

In that instant, a terrifying wave of fire shot upwards, spreading across the entire Wu Capital’s skies!

Cracks of black energy spread out over the long streets of the capital with the thunderous dragon’s roar!

Countless citizens and cultivators of Wu Capital stared in horror at the sky. When they saw the full figure of the massive creature in the heavens, their legs gave way, and they all collapsed to the ground—It was a dragon! A dragon!

At this moment, a dragon several hundred feet long, its entire body covered in blood-red scales, flapped its wings as it spiraled above Wu Capital, casting countless shadows, as if bringing eternal night with it!

“The Crimson Blood Heavenly Dragon!”

“It’s finally here!”

Ning Ye gazed at the dragon in the sky and couldn’t help but breathe a deep sigh.

“The Heavenly Dragon has appeared!”

Elder Tianji’s eyes widened, and he unconsciously swallowed.

“Wait a minute!”

“The Crimson Blood Heavenly Dragon is the guardian beast of the Junlin Empire!”

“It should only obey the command of the Wu Emperor!”

“But… why is it now following Mu Lingxi’s orders?”

His thoughts came to an abrupt halt, and Ning Ye furrowed his brow.

At that moment, Mu Lingxi, with a smile on her face, spoke.

“It’s not just the Crimson Blood Heavenly Dragon!”

“All the ministers of Junlin!”

“Aren’t you all going to greet your emperor?”

As her words fell, a towering figure suddenly flew down from the Crimson Blood Dragon’s massive head.

With a loud thud, he landed in the Junlin Palace!

He was shirtless, with a strong and muscular body brimming with explosive power, and his long black hair hung loosely behind him.

His face was marked with the traces of time, an expression of cold indifference.

He held a bronze war spear in his hand and slowly stepped into the Junlin Palace.

“Your Majesty!”

Upon seeing the newcomer, all the high-ranking figures of Junlin immediately changed their expressions.

“Father… Father Emperor!”

Wu Yao was also shocked.

“Emperor Junlin, Wu Yuan!”

Ning Ye looked at the man before him, sensing the boundless battle intent and terrifying aura emanating from his body. A flicker of caution passed through his eyes. Just this one man alone would be enough to make the Ten Great Generals of Junlin struggle to hold their ground!

“Wu Yuan!”

“Kill Jun Qianyue!”

“Slaughter the Junlin Imperial Palace!”

Mu Lingxi issued the command.

As soon as she finished speaking, her body turned into countless streams of light, vanishing within the Junlin hall.

Ning Ye looked up and saw Mu Lingxi standing atop the Crimson Blood Dragon’s head, directing the dragon towards the forbidden area of the palace’s rear mountain…

The forbidden area on the rear mountain seemed to hold something she was after!

“Master…”

Mu Lin opened her mouth, her face turning pale. She clearly hadn’t expected her master to leave her behind here. It seemed like she was being treated as a discarded pawn!

“Dammit!”

Jun Qianyue’s expression darkened as well. This situation had completely caught her off guard, something that was entirely outside her plans.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a side mission—Slay the Dragon!]

[Mission Reward: One Divine-tier Lottery Card.]

Listening to the system’s notification sound in his ear, Ning Ye took a deep breath, shook his head, and then turned to Jun Qianyue:

“Wu Yuan, can you handle him?”

“Hm?”

Jun Qianyue, hearing this, seemed to have guessed something and furrowed her brows as she asked: “What are you trying to do?”

Ning Ye shook his head and responded with a hint of annoyance: “What else can I do?”

“The promise I made to you… I always intend to keep it!”

With that, he turned and began walking step by step towards the palace exit.

“This guy… is he trying to show off?”

Jun Qianyue couldn’t help but inwardly scoff, though the corners of her lips curved into a faint smile, almost unconsciously.
