My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

Chapter 219 Helper

"Chilian, it's impressive that you still remember me." The woman in black robes turned around, looking at the old man kneeling in front of her with a proud expression.

"The subordinate naturally remembers! Master Shangguan's power is vast, sweeping through the three realms!" The old man said with incomparable respect. "If it weren't for Master Shangguan's protection back then, I wouldn't have survived to this day." His voice trembled as he spoke, indicating the fear and respect he held towards the woman referred to as Master Shangguan.

It showed that she was an extremely powerful figure in the past!

Chilian's attitude somewhat relaxed the woman in black robes. She had come to seek Chilian's help, unsure if he would still be obedient after all these years. Now, his attitude had already revealed everything. Her reputation established thousands of years ago still commanded great respect, making even her former subordinates extremely deferential!

Gathering her robes, the woman in black walked forward with magnetic voice flowing from beneath her hood. "Chilian, you remember the kindness I showed you, which wasn't in vain after all these years. I didn't come here to beat around the bush. I have something for you to do."

As she spoke, the woman's eyes remained fixed on the old man. Chilian suddenly raised his head upon hearing this, a fleeting expression of surprise and hesitation crossing his eyes. "I don't know... what Master Shangguan needs me to do?"

"Now that my lifespan is short, and I've lost the desire to fight for victory as in the past, but I will definitely do what I can for Master Shangguan," Chilian said, revealing his cunning and shrewdness. He understood that Master Shangguan's sudden appearance in the ancient cave meant something significant was happening.

His words implied: flattering you is fine, but risking my life is not.

Hearing Chilian's words, the woman in black immediately understood his intentions, and she chuckled as she walked a few steps to the side. Watching her, Chilian's heart couldn't help but tense up. The terror of this woman he had witnessed with his own eyes in the past, he might not be able to resist her current power even with his present strength.

However, he had sensed Master Shangguan's aura just now, and it was only at the level of Emperor Void, far from the power she once possessed. Could it be that her cultivation had declined?

Chilian was puzzled but didn't say anything. He remained firm in his decision not to leave the ancient cave no matter what. Here, the abundant spiritual energy could delay the depletion of his lifespan.

If he were to engage in battle with Master Shangguan again, not to mention whether he could survive the battle, even if he did, the sparse spiritual energy outside would not sustain his declining lifespan.

As Chilian contemplated, the woman in black stopped in her tracks and spoke again, "Chilian, it seems that the peaceful life of these years has worn away your will... Actually, I came here originally to give you an opportunity, to help you... achieve immortality!"

"But seeing your attitude, I'm quite disappointed. Let's forget about this matter." With these words, the woman in black turned and walked away from the ancient cave.

"Master Shangguan, please wait!" Hearing the word 'opportunity', Chilian couldn't help but call out subconsciously, his eyes blazing with excitement and eagerness. The chance for immortality! This was something he had dreamed of for many years! Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"Why, do you still have something to say?" Master Shangguan halted her steps but didn't turn around. In Chilian's eyes, this was her way of showing displeasure. Under the shadow of her hood, her lips curved slightly upwards. She had deliberately spoken that way just now, taking a step back to provoke Chilian's curiosity. And it seemed Chilian took the bait!

Seeing that Master Shangguan didn't turn around, he felt that she was currently angry.

In order to obtain the chance for immortality, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward, with a respectful expression on his face, once again bowing and saying, "Master Shangguan, I haven't lost my will!"

"It's just that due to my short lifespan and weakening body, I can't afford to take any risks anymore. If Master Shangguan could grant me the chance for immortality, I will once again be your loyal servant, conquering the myriad realms, giving my all!"

Chilian's words were sincere and impassioned. Master Shangguan turned slightly, her face still showing traces of anger. "You have a heart now," she said.

Chilian hurriedly continued, "It's not that I have a heart, it's just that I temporarily lost sight of my true intentions!"

"Thanks to Master Shangguan's guidance, otherwise, I would have fallen into confusion and perished!"

"Master Shangguan, about this chance for immortality... Could you please enlighten me?"

The conversation came full circle. The woman in black's expression shifted from cloudy to clear, once again revealing a smile. "Indeed, you are the powerful ancient demon I value, knowing how to seize opportunities!"

"You may have already noticed that my cultivation has slightly declined. It's actually because my soul has been damaged."

"To repair it, I need to find the Chiyang Saint Sovereign from four thousand years ago and use a strand of his Chiyang origin hidden in his soul for restoration!"

"The Chiyang Saint Sovereign?" Chilian's eyes widened in surprise. "The one with the immortal intention, capable of rejuvenating even dead wood?! Wasn't he supposed to have died four thousand years ago?"

"Do you really believe he's dead? But how come I've heard that you've been searching for his whereabouts in recent years?"

The woman in black lifted her chin, looking at him with a piercing gaze. Chilian's guilty eyes flickered.

"If you sincerely assist me, I will lead you to find the Chiyang Saint Sovereign and grant you longevity!"

Under the woman's gaze, Chilian's expression changed several times before he finally nodded vigorously. "Okay! I promise you, Master! But you have to swear that you're not deceiving me... Because if I truly come out of seclusion, I'm afraid this will be my only chance to make a move!"

Chilian spoke with a red light flashing in his eyes, and the aura of ferocity surged incessantly. The inadvertent threat emitted by the old monster was thick with bloodthirstiness, causing people's hearts to tremble involuntarily. There was no doubt that if he were to erupt, it would be an incredibly terrifying slaughter! However, it had no effect on the woman in black.

She looked calmly at the situation, saying, "I never deceive demons."

The killing intent in Chilian's eyes dissipated like receding tide, and he returned to his respectful demeanor. He chuckled and said, "Master Shangguan's words are naturally convincing! I wonder how you want me to proceed, please instruct me, Master Shangguan!"

The old monster could change his face in an instant, from hostile to flattering, smoothly transitioning without any hitch. He was undoubtedly the top Oscar contender in the Demon Realm!

The woman in black didn't care about Chilian's attitude as long as he agreed to her terms. She chuckled lightly, extending her slender jade-like finger, saying, "Now, I need you to accompany me to the capital of the Jing Nation Kingdom. The Chiyang Saint Sovereign is there!"

"I need your talent in sensing aura to find him. With your help, both of us can overcome our current predicaments!"

Chilian's eyes lit up. "The capital of the Jing Nation Kingdom? Alright!"

"However, my true body is still deep within the cave. In the next few days, when the cave opens, young blood from the Earthly Realm will come to undergo trials. I want to devour them before leaving for the capital!"

"This will increase my bloodline power, and with abundant blood energy, I can serve Master Shangguan better!"

The woman in black frowned slightly. But for now, she needed Chilian's help and couldn't push him too hard. She nodded and said, "As you wish... But you must act quickly, because the enemies... Ahem, I will leave first, and we'll meet in the capital of Jing Nation later!"

"Before that, give me a trace of your aura as a contact imprint for communication!"
