My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

After absorbing a large amount of spirit energy, Qingfeng Li’s spirit core split and the number of marks on the core increased from three to four.

But it didn’t stop at four since it continued to change until one more mark appeared on it.

Five marks was the symbol of the fifth level of the spirit monarch realm.

While Qingfeng Li and the others were cultivating in the underground treasure palace, the whole Five Poison City was in an upheaval.

Qingfeng Li had killed many self-cultivators from the Purple Scorpion Dynasty and even beat their captain unconscious. Meanwhile, the dynasty’s Chief Advisor had been slapped to the ground by the Moon Saintess.

Of course, the monarch of the Purple Scorpion High Tier Dynasty couldn’t tolerate such humiliation.

Knowing the great power of Moon Saintess, he dared not to make trouble for her and thus directed all his anger toward Qingfeng Li and the monarch of the Spider Dynasty.

He blamed everything on Qingfeng Li, thinking all the damages and the severe wound suffered by the Chief Advisor were caused by Qingfeng Li.

To heal the Chief Advisor, the Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor even used a powerful sixth level spirit monarch realm spirit herb which was a rarity even in a high tier dynasty.

It was because he was facing a crisis and needed all the people he had. The Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor had to heal the Chief Advisor quickly by using the spirit herb, so they would have enough combat strength to survive in the imminent cruel battle with the wave of millions of demon beasts.

After healing the Chief Advisor, the Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor personally led all his self-cultivators, which were about 1,000 people, to the Spider Dynasty’s royal palace in the east of Five Poison City, intending to besiege it.

As a man in his forties, the Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor had a chiseled purple face and purple hair and eyebrows. Dressed in a scorpion robe, he emitted overwhelming killing intent.

They killed all the Spider Dynasty self-cultivators who dared to block them by either cutting off their heads or smashing them into meat pies.

If the emperor of the Spider Dynasty had known about their attacks, he would have protected his subordinates. But he was cultivating in the underground palace with Qingfeng Li and was oblivious to the slaughter above.

Most of the Spider Dynasty Emperor’s subordinates were killed while the rest knelt down shaking, frozen by the powerful spirit monarch realm presence emitted from Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor.

With a cold smile, Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor said, “Guards, bind all the self-cultivators from the Spider Dynasty and then search for their emperor. I will find him even if we have to turn this place upside down.”

At the order of the Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor, all the surviving Spider Dynasty self-cultivators were bound up and some of the defiant ones were smashed into meat pies by the emperor.

The Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor had broken through from the sixth level into the seventh level of spirit monarch realm, and the ordinary self-cultivators were absolutely no match for him.

He asked his subordinates to search the whole Spider Dynasty royal palace and they found nothing after half an hour.

The Chief Advisor walked to his monarch and reported, “Your Highness, I have searched the whole palace and can’t find the Spider Dynasty Emperor, Spider Princess or Qingfeng Li.”

The monarch frowned slightly, and a chilling light flashed in his eyes. He said, “Our scouts saw clearly Qingfeng Li and Spider Princess enter the royal Palace. How could they disappear? Is it possible that there exists a secret tunnel in the palace for them to hide?”

He sent for a Spider Dynasty self-cultivator they captured and demanded information about the royal palace, but the captive refused to tell the secret even at the threat of death.

Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor emitted his spirit energy and entered the captive’s mind to search his soul.

After a moment’s search, joy appeared in the monarch’s eyes. He said, “I finally found out where Spider Dynasty Emperor and Qingfeng Li have gone. There exists in the underground of the Spider Dynasty royal palace a treasure vault.”

Then with his spirit energy, he torn the Spider Dynasty captive’s spirit energy into two halves.

With a scream, the captive fell to the ground and died.

Seeing the ruthlessness of the Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor, the surviving Spider Dynasty self-cultivators turned pale with fear in their eyes.

A moment later, Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor had all the Spider Dynasty self-cultivators bound with ropes while killing the defiant ones.

All the Spider Dynasty self-cultivators felt doomed while other self-cultivators in Five Poison City dared not to protest even though they had witnessed his atrocities.

It was because Purple Scorpion Emperor was a powerful seventh level spirit monarch realm master and none of them was his match.

At the monarch’s order, the Chief Advisor of Purple Scorpion Dynasty had turned the whole royal palace upside down and still couldn’t find Spider Dynasty Emperor or Qingfeng Li.

The Chief Advisor was very displeased since the main purpose of their attacks on the Spider Dynasty was to make trouble for Qingfeng Li who was the origin of all these upheavals and disasters.

Standing in the hall of the Spider Dynasty royal palace, Purple Scorpion Dynasty Emperor was thinking hard about the location of the secret tunnel by putting himself in the position of the Spider Dynasty.

Suddenly, his face turned grim when he saw a dent on the arm of the spider chair standing before him.

“Is it possible that the chair is connected to a secret tunnel or an underground palace?”

Joy appeared in his eyes while he strode to the side of the chair.

Reaching out his right hand, he felt around on the Spider Chair and shortly found a protruding point.

He pressed down slightly, and the chair moved to one side and revealed a pitch-black tunnel opening through which Qingfeng Li had entered.

The Chief Advisor walked over and flattered, “Congratulations to Your Highness. Your Highness is very smart to find this underground tunnel at one glance. I’m sure Qingfeng Li is hiding down there. Shall we go down and kill them all?”

The monarch waved his hand and said, “No. We just wait here with a trap. We will get them all the moment they come out.”

Busy cultivating in the underground palace with people of Spider Dynasty, Qingfeng Li was oblivious to the situation above them.

After he broke through into the fifth level spirit monarch realm, his whole body gradually emitted a powerful presence.

He stood up and a huge force exploded all over him. He wondered, “So this is the force of a fifth level spirit monarch realm master. It’s indeed great.”

His whole body uttered ear-piercing crackling sounds as if his bones were rubbing with each other.
