Chapter 14
A whole year has passed since the Demon Empress disappeared. The Empires were very anxious as they didn't find a trace of her on the whole continent. (She used magic to create a barrier)
————In the Azure Dragon Empire————
People here were the most anxious as they knew there were going to be attacked first. Guards in the entire Empire were on full alert for a whole year but no attack ever came. Gong Teng and Gong Fu were in courtyard. Gong Teng was meditating while Gong Fu was busy with paperwork.
Gong Fu suddenly opened her eyes. She had a grim expression on her face.
"Gong Fu get ready for battle" she quickly said startling Gong Fu who was concentrating on the paperwork but still quickly reacted and pulled a sword from his storage bag.
"What is it, wife?"He then asked anxiously.
Before Gong Teng could answer an explosion rang throughout the whole Capital.
*BOOOM!!*
"It's from the palace!"shouted Gong Fu as he flew out towards the Palace followed by Gong Teng.
———————————————————————
"Fu fu fu, this building is quite resilient" said Qin Lao joking as she had just blown away half the Palace.
Rias was just standing by the side laughing.
Kong Ming flew out of the debris looking as if someone murdered his favorite dog. But when his eyes lay on Qin Lao he was shocked.
"Qin Lao is that you, what are you doing with that demon and why did you attack my palace" he shouted at her.
"Look, little Ming is having a tantrum" said Rias jokingly fanning Kong Ming's anger further.
"What happened here?" said Gong Fu who had just arrived surprised to see a crater where there used to be a palace.
"Ohh about that I might have used a little more power than intended" replied Qin Lao acting shy.
"What is the meaning of this, Qin Lao?!" Shouted Gong Tang who arrived just in time to hear everything.
She then glared at Qin Lao but was surprised when she used her divine sense.
"You how did you reach Angelic Core!" Roared Gong Teng pointing at Qin Lao.
"One of the pecks of joining me" said Rias nonchalantly shocking the three Golden Core cultivators.
"So you noticed. I reached Angelic Core a few months ago" replied Qin Lao as 2 flawless white angelic wings appeared on her back and a halo appeared floating above her head.
This further shocked the Azure Dragon Empire Golden Core cultivators.
"Play with them as I take what we came for" said Rias as she descended down.
"Yes boss" replied Qin Lao as she released her presence while smiling like a yandere. This really contradicted her angelic appearance.
The other cultivators feeling her presence put all their attention on her as they felt the danger she eluded.
"Light Arts: Arrows of Judgement" she smiled as she raised her hand into the air and thousands of arrows started falling on the 3 Golden Cores.
Seeing the attack all three of them shouted "GOLDEN CORE RELEASE!"
"Azure Dragon art: Aura burst!" Shouted Kong Ming as a energy shield that seems to be make of dragon scales appeared in front of the 3.
After a few seconds the arrow rain stopped. The shield looked worn out and Kong Ming was out of breath.
"Qin Lao with your power why do you follow her orders. I'm sure you are stronger than her. Join us to kill her and you can return back to your Empire with the consequence of attacking us" said Gong Teng seriously.
"You think this is power. You have seen nothing yet. You are lucky she still finds us all entertaining or there would be a TongXuan continent by now." She replied calmly.
Rias then appeared besides Qin Lao and touched her shoulder.
"I got what we came for let's go" she said be the two teleported away leaving a relieved Kong Ming.
A guard then came running to their location and shouted, "Your Majesty our treasury has been robbed clean!"
"DAMN YOU DEMON EMPRESS!!" Shouted Kong Ming with all his might.
By the end of three days all the Empires treasuries were robbed clean by Rias Gremory and the former Empress of the Black Tortoise Empire, Qin Lao now known as the Angel Empress.
