After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Chapter 939: A Powerful Alliance

Chen Futu was thwarted in his attempt to track down Mo Lan and was seething with anger with nowhere to vent it.

He knew all too well that he couldn't leave any hidden dangers behind, especially since he couldn't see Mo Lan anymore and the system was still upgrading, so he simply vented his anger on these uninvited guests.

In this battle, Chen Fu went mad with slaughter.

After the battle ended, several more corpses appeared on the walls of the Soul Rift Clan, including an eighth-tier expert.

The news of the Heavenly Messenger's murder swept through Philadelphia like a storm. Those who heard the news rushed to see what had happened and discovered that the bald corpse was indeed wearing the Heavenly Court's emblem on its chest. Everyone's face turned green.

What is the Heavenly Court? If you kill one of the enemy's leaders, the entire city of Philadelphia, fearing for its life, will face retribution.

Wen Jie arranged for the relocation immediately upon receiving the news.

He was also afraid of the Heavenly Court, so he ran away before they came knocking. As for handing over Chen Futu to them as an explanation?

He can't do this kind of thing, nor is he capable of it. Not to mention that he can't beat Chen Futu now, Chen Futu's eleventh-level wife is someone that Fei Cheng can't afford to mess with.

Ignoring the outside disturbances, Chen Futu introduced Qin Mo to Wen Jie and then posted a bounty on the regional channel, offering a million crystal cores for information about a spider-like mutated creature.

The news was sent out, and the whole city mobilized, as if it were a carnival.

Many people provided information about the spider-shaped mutant, but after watching the live stream, they discovered that it was not Mo Lan.

Mo Lan's features are too obvious, but unfortunately the system is being upgraded, so Chen Futu cannot display a concrete photo of Mo Lan on the bulletin board; he can only describe her features verbally.

For several days in a row, I was unable to see Mo Lan.

In the still of the night, Qin Liangyu stood atop a ruined tower outside the city, arms crossed like a solitary queen of the night. Looking down at the ruins below, she said, "There's no need to hide anymore. I know you're here."

There was no response.

Qin Liangyu sneered, "Mo Lan, do you feel so ugly that you can't face anyone?"

Upon hearing these words, Mo Lan, who had been hiding and avoiding the situation, seemed to have been touched on a sore spot. She jumped onto the roof on all fours, her half-pale face peering through her hair at Qin Liangyu with a sinister look, "It was actually you."

"That's right, I am Qin Liangyu, the most noble and supreme person in the empire. Why do you not bow to the Emperor and Empress?"

"Why should I kneel before you? This is not the lower realm, but the heavenly world. Li Zhou may have already fallen apart, and you are no longer the Empress!"

Mo Lan let out a low growl.

Qin Liangyu smiled wryly, then effortlessly teleported to her side, startling Mo Lan into quickly creating distance.

Although Mo Lan had been transformed, she could still sense how powerful Qin Liangyu was in front of her. If she wanted to kill her, she could snap her neck with a single blow.

"Don't hide from me. If I want to kill you, you won't be able to escape."

Qin Liangyu stepped forward, bent down to examine the mutated Mo Lan, and then patted Mo Lan's head as if stroking a puppy, clicking her tongue and saying, "What an ugly thing."

"I kill you!"

Mo Lan was thrown off balance by those words and attacked like a madwoman. Unfortunately, her eighth-level strength was enough to deal with ordinary eighth- or even ninth-level opponents, but it was far too weak against Qin Liangyu's evil corpse. No matter how she attacked, it was useless. Qin Liangyu was like a black wind, moving at will and omnipresent, just as strange and powerful as Chen Futu's evil corpse.

"Damn it, damn it!" Mo Lan started twisting her neck again. "Qin Liangyu, I hate you!"

"Hahaha!" Qin Liangyu teleported and sat on Mo Lan's back, crossed her legs, and wrapped Mo Lan's hair around her twisted neck. "Many concubines hate me, who do you think you are?"

Mo Lan rolled her eyes as her hair pulled her back, gritting her teeth as she said, "With you around, we'll never get any love. He only has eyes for you and Li Xiuning. We're not even scraps."

“You’re wrong. Apart from me and Xiuning, Liu Longyue and Guanxing are all quite favored. You’re the only one who isn’t. Don’t you want to look for the reason within yourself?”

"Qin Liangyu!"

"Stop yelling at me. You are not valued because you can't bring any benefits to the empire. Your only value is that you have some political uses. Later, Zhao Xier surrendered and the Western Regions were completely incorporated into the Great Xia territory. Your value was squeezed dry at that time. He didn't get rid of you because of our shared bed."

"What on earth are you going to do!"

"I'm just giving you a path. Follow me, and I'll give you plenty of crystal cores to ensure your smooth growth. Once you surpass that guy, don't you want to trample him underfoot and teach him a lesson?"

Qin Liangyu's smile was sinister. Mo Lan was momentarily dazed when she saw Qin Liangyu release her hair, walk to the edge of the pavilion, and shout at the wilderness, "Come out, children!"

At some point, countless figures gathered in the darkness. They were all mutated beings, some low-level, some high-level, and some even of the eighth rank. They had all been summoned and gathered together to worship the arrogant woman under the moonlight, uttering whimpers and roars, praising their great king.

"how?"

Qin Liangyu looked at Mo Lan triumphantly, while the latter crawled to the edge of the rooftop, half of her face changing from shock to ecstasy. "How did you do that? I heard a voice before and underwent a transformation, so why am I not as strong as you?"

"A voice? Hmph, that's naked revenge. The will of heaven and earth failed to control me, so it turned to distort your form to take revenge on Chen Futu, making Chen Futu see with his own eyes that his woman has become ugly as a ghost. You don't really think you'll be chosen by the will of heaven and earth, do you?"

"I……"

Faced with Qin Liangyu's disdainful gaze, Mo Lan was speechless. After a long while, she said self-deprecatingly, "I know that I am worthless compared to you. I am at most a vase, no, I am not even a vase in front of you."

"So, not only has Chen Futu abandoned you, but even the heavens are using you and despising you. Only I do not despise you. Follow me, be my dog, and I will lead you to dominate this heavenly world."

"Be my dog? Qin Liangyu, I'll kill you one day."

"Heh, kill me? I'm waiting."

Qin Liangyu smiled and bent down to touch Mo Lan's head, while Mo Lan curled up on the ground and lowered her head, resigned to her fate.

Following Qin Liangyu is better than hiding alone in a dark sewer, being despised and attacked.

She's going to be the best of the best, and one day she'll trample Chen Futu underfoot, and Qin Liangyu, Li Xiuning, and that wretched woman surnamed Liu will all die!

Chen Futu was unaware that his wife's evil corpse was up to no good. He had to give up his search for Mo Lan for the time being and wait for the system upgrade to be completed.

Meanwhile, news came back that the Heavenly Court was coming to settle scores with Philadelphia.

Philadelphia was thrown into chaos. Everyone who could run away fled, a large group of people with their families, all fearing that they would be caught by the Heavenly Court and lose their lives.
