The Black Lotus Eclipse - Chapter 9

Before the Heavenly Soldiers escorted me to the Southern Heavenly Gate, Le You asked if I was afraid.

“Qing Wu, if you kneel and beg me, I will have the Mother Goddess release you.”

I closed my eyes and began to gather my strength.

“Of course, I can let you go, as long as you leave something behind. These hands of yours, once held by Zhuo Yuan, make me furious.

“Why not cut them off!”

She paused, wanting to savor my fear, but was disappointed-I remained expressionless.

The Heavenly Soldiers received the order and truly pressed me to the ground, suspending me with an Immortal Lock.

In a flash, two figures leapt forward-one wielded a large blade and severed the Immortal Lock, the other flicked her wrist, and a White Silk Ribbon bound the Heavenly Soldiers, slamming them heavily to the ground.

“Dare to cut my little sister’s hands? Courting death!”

Second Sister swept her sharp gaze, locking onto Le You, and swung her large blade again.

Di Shu blocked it with ease.

Eldest Sister unleashed her White Silk Ribbon, drawing Soul Summoning Talismans in the air. These talismans were useless against cultivators, but more than enough to deal with Le You.

Di Shu blocked lightly once more, while Le You brimmed with mockery.

“Overestimating yourselves!”

Seeing this, Eldest Sister immediately wrapped me up with her White Silk Ribbon: “Retreat!”

A warm current surged in my heart as the three sisters huddled together, preparing to leap down from the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Di Shu was furious, and upon seeing her expression, the Immortals began casting spells to trap us.

Eldest Sister and Second Sister retreated step by step, shielding me behind them.

Zhuo Yuan, without hesitation, cast a spell to sweep away the Heavenly Soldiers trying to seize us.

Di Shu, for some reason, was exceptionally angry. With a wave of her sleeve, she easily knocked Zhuo Yuan to the ground.

“Zhuo Yuan, you have defied me again and again today-for the sake of this wretched woman who harmed my Le You?”

Di Shu waved her sleeve again, striking me across the face from a distance, leaving me dizzy and dazed.

I steadied myself with effort, adjusted my breath, and struck her back from afar, landing squarely on Di Shu’s cheek.

Di Shu’s rage erupted; a fierce glint flashed in her eyes as a long sword materialized in her hand, thrusting straight at my face. I lowered my gaze, formed a seal with my hands, and a Black Lotus hovered above. As I chanted, the Black Lotus began to expand infinitely, shrouding the entire Heavenly Court in darkness.

The Immortals were stunned.

“Black Lotus Karmic Fire???”

“She’s from the Demon Clan! She’s a Demon Clan member!!!”

Di Shu was frozen in place, her sword vanishing without a trace, replaced by a hint of guilt.

She asked softly, “Who are you?”

“Does it matter who I am?”

“Di Shu!

“Or should I say, Mother Goddess?”

Hmph.

I let out a mocking laugh.
