The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

Chapter 174 Cut Off The Past

"Gu Wanqing!"

Calling out her name again, Chu Qianqiu forcefully stood up, wanting to stop her.

Chu Cangxuan watched everything and quickly stopped his son, urging him to calm down.

"Qiu'er, don't act rashly, let me handle this!"

"Now that you're still Transcending Tribulation, your body and spiritual power are in great disorder, you need to rest."

"Although you don't need to forcefully resist the Heavenly Tribulation, just opening your eyes without choosing to enter a meditative state is already quite risky. Engaging in another battle will only lead to trouble!"

Looking at the dark clouds soaring in the sky and Gu Wanqing, who was leading the elders and planning to leave, Chu Cangxuan prepared to take action, replacing his son to lash out.

Xiao Hong, who was breathing heavily on the side, had not fully recovered to her optimal contest condition, but she indicated that she could continue fighting.

The generals from the Rising Sun Empire and the elders from the Misty Cloud Sect present were all filled with fear and had no intention of fighting.

Although they were all experts at the Soul Formation stage, they couldn't withstand the "demonic cultivators" on the other side, and they couldn't be measured by the standards of ordinary cultivators.

In addition, the Lady Saint herself had used three divine swords to save them, causing significant damage to her own vitality. It was not advisable for her to engage in another battle.

They were already heavily injured this time, and if anything were to happen to the Lady Saint, it would be all over.

"Lady Saint, let's go quickly!"

"These three are all demonic cultivators, don't provoke them!"

"Now that the Demon City has attacked us, we need to go back and unite the major sects to completely eradicate this sinful city!"

An elder spoke up and, together with several other elders, opened a portal in the void, preparing to leave.

Xiao Hong once again emitted a blazing divine light, trying to stop this group of people from leaving.

Chu Cangxuan summoned a large amount of Heavenly Tribulation from the sky and bombarded the portal, trying to destroy it and close it.

The elders endured the attacks, gritting their teeth and showing no intention of counterattacking.

During this process, a general from the Falling Star Empire accidentally had half of his body cut off by Xiao Hong's divine light, and his intestines and blood scattered in the air, screaming in agony.

Finally, at the cost of another Soul Formation expert's death, this group of people managed to escape the battlefield and retreated to their own territory.

At the last moment, Gu Wanqing turned her head and glanced at Chu Qianqiu in the distance, saying with a frosty tone,

"My name is Duan Corina, not Gu Wanqing."

"One day, you will pay the price for everything you have done today."

Leaving behind these two sentences, Gu Wanqing and her group completely left.

Chu Qianqiu stared at the departing group, speechless for a while, before finally lowering his head.

"What does this mean? Duan Corina?"

"Could it be that I mistook her for someone else?"

He was puzzled and confused himself.

Was this woman, who looked extremely similar to Gu Wanqing, just a look-alike?

But, Gu Wanqing had claimed to become the Saint of the Misty Cloud Sect.

This woman who resembled her was also the Saint of the Misty Cloud Sect. Their identities were the same.

Same appearance, same temperament, same identity, but not the same person?

"Is she deceiving me, or did I really make a mistake?"

"This is... damn it."

...

On the side, seeing Chu Qianqiu lost in thought, Chu Cangxuan also retracted his divine ability and pondered.

"Qiu'er, for now, let him go. Focus on your cultivation breakthrough, and I will protect you."

"For now, don't worry about the Misty Cloud Sect. They are severely weakened, and even if they hold a grudge against us, they won't immediately launch another attack."

"We have eliminated a large number of their cultivators and destroyed their starships. They need time to recover and reassess our strength before making any decisions."

"Furthermore, those fools actually mistook us for people from the Demon City. This gives us more room to maneuver and prevents them from finding us immediately."

"I carefully observed Stephanie just now... she does indeed resemble Gu Wanqing. Perhaps that's why you were so excited."

"So, let's not think about these things for now."

Chu Cangxuan placed his hand on Chu Qianqiu's shoulder.

Chu Cangxuan hoped that Qianqiu would calm down and not think too much about future events that had yet to happen.

"Mm... in any case, the Misty Cloud Sect is becoming more and more fascinating."

"One day, I will personally set foot on that land and uncover the truth."

"I have a feeling that this moment is getting closer and closer."

As he spoke, Chu Qianqiu suddenly coughed up blood and his body began to tremble violently.

In fact, he had been forcing himself just now, paying the price for his unsettled state of mind during the breakthrough. It was not something to be taken lightly for him.

Just now, in order to make the enemy feel oppressed, he had been enduring the pain in his body.

During the breakthrough, his spiritual energy was in a state of chaos. Every blood vessel was like a river flowing into the sea, and the sea was now raging, with powerful spiritual energy pounding his organs and every inch of his skin.

Instead of using the Contest Condition to meticulously control his body, he let this violent spiritual energy rampage inside him. The possible consequence of this was the failure of Transcending Tribulation.

And if Transcending Tribulation failed, the consequences could range from a slight regression in strength to the complete severing of all spiritual meridians, resulting in the loss of qualification for cultivation.

In the most severe cases, one could die on the spot, opening up the next stage of life prematurely.

Chu Qianqiu was now on the verge of a critical point, which was why he suddenly coughed up blood and his face turned pale.

At this moment, he was still lucky. There was still a chance to salvage everything, as long as he calmed down and focused on controlling his body.

Chu Cangxuan and Xiao Hong, seeing Qianqiu in this state, naturally understood the situation and quickly came to his side to stabilize his spiritual energy and help him successfully break through.

Soon, the three of them fell silent and stopped moving in the center of the battlefield.

The endless tribulation thunder roared and descended around them, as if the end of the world had come.

Below the battlefield, since the three starships of the Falling Star Empire had crashed, coupled with the continuous attacks from the Misty Cloud Sect and the Falling Star Empire's powerhouses, the soldiers of the Falling Star Empire had already suffered heavy casualties.

Most of the soldiers were too weak to withstand the attacks of the powerful cultivators soaring in the sky and the massive explosions caused by the starship crashes.

To a large extent, their deaths were caused by their own people.

Even at this moment, when the remaining powerhouses of the Falling Star Empire retreated, they did not take these soldiers with them.

They became the only group of pitiful creatures on the battlefield.

...

Looking up at the cultivators soaring in the sky, watching the countless tribulation thunder still roaring, the few remaining soldiers on the battlefield had long lost hope and didn't know what to do.

The only thing they could pray for was that these powerful beings in the sky would not launch a final attack on them.

Even if they could live for one more second, they just wanted to take another breath of the polluted air.

And three days later, the tribulation thunder dissipated completely, and the cultivators soaring in the sky remained motionless.

Seeing that the cultivators in the sky had yet to make a move, the remaining soldiers finally gained some courage and stopped pretending to be corpses, choosing to escape.

Unfortunately, the demonic cultivators from the Demon City, who were already present in the battlefield, had already appeared and started hunting.

When the remaining soldiers opened their eyes, a pair of even more crimson eyes had already locked onto them.
