CHAPTER 893: CHAPTER 890: NORTHERN YAO DIVINE MIGHT

"Hahaha, you... Night Emperor, why are you a woman, hahaha..."

The tall woman bent over, clutching her stomach in laughter.

This left Zhou Youwei looking bewildered, Night Emperor? A woman?

What on earth is going on here?

"I’m not any Night Emperor, you’ve got the wrong person," Zhou Youwei said coldly.

But saying this only made the tall woman laugh harder, rolling on the ground and choking to tears.

Sitting on the ground without care for her image, she looked up at Zhou Youwei, wiping her tears while speaking intermittently, "If you’re not... not the Night Emperor, then who is? Trying to fool me?"

Zhou Youwei was both helpless and frustrated. Who is this Night Emperor? And why is this woman so convinced that she is the Night Emperor?

Besides, from this person’s meaning, the Night Emperor is a man?

But what does this have to do with Zhou Youwei?

"Don’t you have anything to say?"

Seeing Zhou Youwei silent, the tall woman smiled and said.

"What is this place?" Zhou Youwei frowned and asked.

The tall woman smirked and waved dismissively, "You, alright, I won’t laugh at you anymore. Let’s talk business, I’ve prepared what you asked for."

Zhou Youwei frowned deeper and said, "I told you, I’m not the Night Emperor."

"You’re really not?" The tall woman gazed at Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei shook her head and said, "Among the people I know, none are called the Night Emperor..."

At the moment these words left her mouth, a sudden flash of light streaked through Zhou Youwei’s mind.

For some reason, at that moment, Zhou Youwei thought of her husband Ye Xuan.

But immediately, Zhou Youwei shook her head again.

Her husband Ye Xuan was just Ye Xuan, not some Night Emperor.

She had heard others call her husband titles like Young Master or Master, but no one had called him the Night Emperor.

Of course, Zhou Youwei didn’t know that every time someone called him the Night Emperor, Qiao Xinyu intervened, ensuring others couldn’t hear it.

The tall woman looked at Zhou Youwei, frowning as she said, "Have you not recovered your memory?"

Zhou Youwei shook her head, "I’m really not the Night Emperor, I ended up here because I got lost."

This made the tall woman have a strange expression.

"You don’t believe me?" Zhou Youwei frowned.

The tall woman shook her head slightly, "It’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just your words are hard to believe. Do you even know what this place is?"

Zhou Youwei shook her head slightly, "I don’t know."

The tall woman: "......"

Taking a deep breath, the tall woman scrutinized Zhou Youwei, and after a long pause said, "This is the depths of the Dao Chu Ancient Land, known as Dao Chu Cliff. To reach this place, one must break into the Dao Chu Ancient Land and pass through ten dangerous barriers."

"And to enter the Dao Chu Ancient Land, one must endure the erosion of the external mist, which possesses an unfathomable power that can even obliterate Immortals and Supremes in an instant."

"Afterward, breaking into the Dao Chu Ancient Land, one encounters various perils, and only by surviving these can one approach the ten dangerous barriers, and passing these, can they enter here."

The tall woman looked peculiarly at Zhou Youwei, speaking slowly, "From ancient times to now, ever since the creation of the Dao Chu Ancient Land, those who have truly reached this place number less than ten. Are you saying you just got lost?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Youwei frowned, looking at the tall woman with a hint of suspicion, suspecting this person was deceiving her.

The Dao Chu Ancient Land has been gone for ninety thousand years, she knew about this when she was in the East Desolate Mountain God Dao.

Is this really the Dao Chu Ancient Land?

If it is, how did she end up here?

None of this makes sense; she had every reason to suspect this person was deceiving her, it could even be a conspiracy against her!

The more Zhou Youwei thought about it, the more plausible it seemed, so she slowly backed away, maintaining distance from the tall woman.

Seeing Zhou Youwei’s movements, the tall woman’s mouth twitched, was she being suspected instead?

Watching this woman, she felt something was indeed off about her.

She truly didn’t resemble the Undying Night Emperor.

But if she wasn’t, why did this person have the aura of the Undying Night Emperor?

If it were someone else, they might not feel that aura, but someone in the Dao Chu Ancient Land wouldn’t mistake it.

The tall woman lightly touched her forehead, deep in thought.

A moment later, the tall woman stood up, approaching Zhou Youwei.

Clang ————

At this instant, Zhou Youwei’s Divine Sun Sword withdrew from its sheath, a terrifying fiery Divine Sun surge rising instantly.

Zhou Youwei held the Divine Sun Sword slanted in her right hand, focusing intently on the tall woman with a profound warning in her eyes.

"A Great Sage True Artifact, not bad, but long sealed, yet to fully unleash its power..."

The tall woman commented in a calm voice, her gaze then fell upon Zhou Youwei’s left waist where the Narrow Blade Winter Thunder was, showing a hint of astonishment: "The relic of that Great Emperor, I see."

Buzz ————

The next moment, the tall woman instantly neared Zhou Youwei.

She made no apparent movement, as if appearing before Zhou Youwei out of thin air.

Zhou Youwei’s pupils contracted sharply, instinctively sweeping out with the Divine Sun Sword.

However, that strike went right through the tall woman.

"Not good..."

Zhou Youwei’s heart sank, she tapped her toes lightly, flying backward.

Just before, the tall woman she struck blurred and dissipated.

Simultaneously, Zhou Youwei suddenly felt a pat on her shoulder, and she immediately drew the Narrow Blade Winter Thunder, sweeping out with full force.

Rumble ————

The sound of winter thunder echoed across Dao Chu Cliff.

"Missed again!" Zhou Youwei found it hard to believe.

The tall woman floated at a distance, looking at the startled Zhou Youwei, deep in thought.

She could vaguely determine, this woman probably wasn’t the Night Emperor.

Although her instinctive counterattack was swift and strong, there was a huge difference compared to that person.

This kind of instinctive reaction, she understood better than anyone.

But if this woman isn’t the Night Emperor, then where does she get the Night Emperor’s aura?

Could she be associated with the Night Emperor?

But even that doesn’t make sense, if that were the case, why claim not to know the Night Emperor, afraid she might be a villain?

Thinking about this, she vaguely understood.

Perhaps, the lady’s presence here was indeed orchestrated by the Night Emperor.

"Young lady, what is your name?" the tall woman proactively asked.

Zhou Youwei was now calm, looking at the tall woman, and said, "Before asking someone’s name, shouldn’t you introduce yourself first?"

The tall woman smiled widely, clasping her hands in courtesy and said, "My compound surname is Beiyao, given name Shenwu."

"Beiyao Shenwu?" Zhou Youwei was a bit taken aback; she hadn’t heard of such a rare surname before.

"A compound surname Beiyao, because it’s scarcely found, the Night Emperor remarked on its uniqueness, just like me. The name Shenwu derives from the phrase ’Divinely Valorous by Nature,’ thus the origin of Beiyao Shenwu, for which I’m very grateful to him," self-identified as Beiyao Shenwu, the tall woman smiled gently, seeing Zhou Youwei’s puzzlement.

"Zhou Youwei," Zhou Youwei clasped her hands in return, though internally she couldn’t help but murmur, a good girl named Beiyao Shenwu? Probably that Night Emperor wasn’t very scholarly either.
