Chapter 2558: Rebellion_1
After unconsciously retreating a few steps, she quietly lowered her head, her ears and both sides of her cheeks becoming unbearably hot...
Why, why did his words always manage to touch her heart...
Moreover, that tone, it wasn't at all like he was speaking to a man!
Could it be that her true identity had been discovered?
The thought sprung to her mind, and she vigorously shook her head, suppressing her emotions...
She inwardly whispered, "No... it's impossible, unless one reaches the rank of Hyper Douluo, otherwise, it's impossible to detect even the slightest clue!"
Xu Sheng certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity, reaching out to touch her hot cheek, "Crown Prince, your face seems to be quite hot?"
Snapping back to reality, Xue Qinghe immediately pushed his hand away and then forced a calm tone, saying, "Xu Sheng, we are in the imperial palace, mind your status."
Xu Sheng did not get annoyed, and in a gentle voice said, "Sorry, I just noticed that the Crown Prince seems to be a little off!"
That feeling in her heart surged once again, and Xue Qinghe immediately turned away, not letting him see her expression...
"I... I'm fine, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave now!"
Without giving the other party a chance to reply, she practically fled from the place...
Watching her departure, Xu Sheng felt a pang of softness in his heart, remarking sentimentally, "Ren Xue even has such adorable moments, too bad there won't be a chance to see them in the future!"
In the future, Qian Renxue would become very aloof, emitting an aura that keeps people at a great distance!
Pushing these thoughts aside, Xu Sheng released his Martial Soul, the blood-scented Nine-Hearted Begonia slowly blooming in his hand...
"I wonder how the Abyssal Emperor is doing right now, I must find him as soon as possible!"
"But for now, I should first accelerate my cultivation!"
...
Returning to her own palace, Xue Qinghe let out a deep sigh of relief then touched her forehead, reverting to her original appearance...
The Serpent Spear Douluo and Porcupine Douluo, who had been waiting there, immediately came over...
Seeing the blush on her cheeks, the Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't help but frown...
He asked, "Goddess, what exactly did that boy say to you after we left? Why is your face so red, and why is your breath so erratic?"
This was the first time he had seen Qian Renxue in this state!
Porcupine's eyes turned cold, "Could he have discovered your identity? If that's the case, Serpent Spear and I will go take care of the boy right away!"
Qian Renxue shook her head, denying it, "No... it's not that, Xu Sheng couldn't possibly see through my Spirit Bone Skill. Perhaps I just felt unwell today!"
Even now, thinking back to that moment, her breathing unintentionally quickened...
Hearing this explanation, the Porcupine Douluo's expression softened a bit, comforting her, "Then you should rest well these next few days, Goddess. After all, we have other purposes for being here!"
The Serpent Spear Douluo nodded, "Yes, it concerns the future of Martial Soul Hall, so we absolutely cannot afford any mistakes!"
Qian Renxue gave the two a glance, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
She hadn't forgotten the reason for coming to the Tiandou Empire Palace!
After all, her grandfather had personally instructed her!
The Serpent Spear Douluo spoke no further, "Goddess, we of course trust you, but for now just rest easy. The Serpent Spear and I will guard you and ensure nobody disturbs you!!"
In an instant, the two figures completely disappeared without a trace!
...
A certain dimly lit space...
Several abyssal creatures, now in human form, were respectfully looking at the Abyssal Emperor before them, speaking in unison, "Great Emperor, thanks to you, we were able to awaken our intelligence!"
"Yes, and not only that, but by devouring our kin to a certain degree, we've even successfully taken on human forms!!"
"Great Emperor, from now on, we will follow your lead with utmost loyalty!"
The Abyssal Emperor was very pleased with their performance. "Good, you have not let me down!"
It was not in vain that he specifically used the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd to hasten their transformation into human forms!
However, a few of the abyssal creatures were staring eagerly at the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd in his hand...
"Great Emperor, what exactly is this weapon in your hand? Why does it possess such tremendous power?"
"Yes, just by being there, it gives us a strong sense of oppression!"
"Even the other abyssal creatures that have not transformed into human form cannot withstand a single blow!"
The Abyssal Emperor glanced at them but didn't think much of it, proudly proclaiming, "This is the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd, a Divine Artifact nurtured within the abyss!"
"With it, I fear no one!"
These few abyssal creatures exchanged looks, their eyes brimming with jealousy, so intense it was almost spilling over into words...
A thought arose in their minds...
By what right does the Abyssal Emperor command them?
It was only thanks to the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd, after all—if they could take it for themselves, he would be nothing!
With this thought, without any warning, they all rushed at the Abyssal Emperor, seeking to wrest the Divine Artifact from him...
"Abyssal Emperor, you are just a weakling, relying solely on this Divine Artifact!"
"Hand it over quickly, you are not worthy of possessing it!!"
"Only I am fit to wield it! Only I!!!"
Facing the sudden revolt of the several abyssal creatures, the Abyssal Emperor's eyes turned icy cold...
Expressionlessly he said, "A bunch of foolish beings, daring to challenge my authority!"
How could the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd, a Divine Artifact, possibly belong to such trash?
He then channeled his power into it and raised it up into the air...
In an instant, tentacles filled with the aura of death emerged from the shadows, lunging at the traitorous abyssal creatures...
Merely by touching their skin, it obliterated their flesh and blood all at once...
"Aaaaahhhhh!!!"
Their pitiful screams reverberated through the entire space...
In just a matter of seconds, those abyssal creatures who had just coveted the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd turned into a puddle of black blood...
Not even their complete corpses were left behind!
The remaining abyssal creatures, witnessing this scene, began to tremble violently...
But they dared not move an inch!
Fearing they would be the next to endure such torment!!
Only then did the Abyssal Emperor turn his head to look at them, coldly stating, "Do you see? This is the fate of those who covet the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd and attempt to betray me!!"
"However, as long as you obediently follow my commands..."
Before he could finish, the abyssal creatures cried out in unison, "Yes, Great Emperor!"
The thought of taking the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd had completely dissipated at that moment...
They certainly did not wish for a moment's hot-headedness to leave them as nothing but a pile of remains...
