Chapter 1359: Chapter 525: Farewell, Empress! The Court Favorite Arrives! (6K)_2

The talismans covering his whole body suddenly lit up, and a violent fluctuation of Primordial Qi surged out.

"Careful, it’s Flame Burst Talismans!" Ji Lianxing shouted a warning.

BOOM—

Her voice had just fallen when a sudden detonation rang out, and He Zhou’s body exploded apart!

Boundless scarlet flames surged like a mad tide, scorching heat waves swept in all directions, hundreds of Flame Burst Talismans activated at the same time, unleashing terrifying destructive power, turning the entire courtyard into a sea of fire in an instant!

Chen Mo was at the center of the explosion, taking the brunt of the damage.

But he had been on guard beforehand; the Purple Extreme Cave Heaven had remained open the whole time, an invisible field blocking the flames outside, though the tremendous impact still sent him flying backward uncontrollably.

Just then, a surge of Primordial Qi swept over, catching him steadily, and he fell into a soft embrace.

The back of his head sank into plump softness, a faint fresh fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose, and Ji Lianxing’s worried voice sounded by his ear: "Chen Mo, are you alright?"

Chen Mo came back to himself and steadied his body. "I’m fine."

Ji Lianxing formed a spell with her hands, water vapor spreading out to extinguish the flames still burning.

By now the surroundings were a complete mess: walls collapsed, green bricks shattered, broken beams charred and crooked, nothing in sight but crumbling ruins, while that black building behind the two of them still stood there solidly.

"That old bastard is really ruthless. Luckily you reinforced it with several Arrays in advance, otherwise he might really have succeeded!" Ji Lianxing said in a low voice.

Chen Mo let out a derisive snort and said with disdain, "If he’s resorting to such clumsy tricks, it shows Wu Lie is at the end of his rope. He won’t be jumping around much longer."

Ji Lianxing blinked and tentatively asked, "Chen Mo, you’re not actually planning to seize the throne, are you?"

Although Chen Mo hadn’t spelled it out to her before, judging from the conversation just now, it wasn’t hard to hear that the two sides’ forces were locked in a fierce clash.

Chen Mo didn’t bother to hide it and said, half serious, half joking, "Why, I can’t? ’Are lords and nobles born so?’ If Wu Lie can be Emperor, why the hell can’t I?"

He’d thought these treasonous words would scare Ji Lianxing, but to his surprise, after a brief daze, the woman’s eyes lit up, looking actually quite excited.

"That’d be perfect!"

"If you really put on the imperial robe, Moon Brilliance Sect becomes an immortal sect personally enfeoffed by the court. Wouldn’t our status rise with the tide?"

"In the future we might even replace the Holy Sect, punch Tianshu Pavilion, kick Martial Saint Mountain, and even the Three Saints would have to politely call me Sect Master Ji when they see me!"

Ji Lianxing planted her hands on her hips, lifted her chin, her towering chest rising and falling.

"..."

Looking at her full of grand ambitions, the corner of Chen Mo’s mouth twitched, and he said with some amusement, "Your idea’s great and all, but the problem is—what’s in it for me?"

?

Ji Lianxing’s expression froze, and she frowned. "What do you mean by that? We signed a contract, didn’t we? No matter what, you’re still Moon Brilliance Sect’s Deputy Sect Master, so of course you have to contribute to the sect’s development."

"Besides..."

"I’ve already been eaten clean by you. Don’t tell me you’re planning to stiff me?"
