"There's only one man here, Yang Tian!"

Wu Yue said instinctively.

Yang Tian was somewhat silent. He glanced at Wu Zetian without saying anything, instead channeling Spiritual Breath to carry the Imperial Chariot, rushing forward continuously.

But behind them, that Blood Demon King was relentlessly following.

It was clear that the Blood Demon King had already set its sights on Wu Zetian.

Because Wu Zetian carried a Sacred Aura, and this Sacred Aura could neutralize the boiling evil energy within the Blood Demon King.

"This is not the way! If the Blood Demon King cannot get the Sacred Aura, I'm afraid it will continue to hunt us down!"

Wu Yue said anxiously.

Ling Ying looked towards Wu Zetian: "The only possibility is to clear her of the Sacred Aura, but the only man here is Yang Tian..."

"Impossible!"

But at this moment, Wu Zetian shook her head coldly.

"Why not?" Wu Yue couldn't help but say: "The Emperor has already died, Empress, you don't have to keep yourself for him, a woman's youth is limited..."

"Shut up!" Before Wu Yue could finish, Wu Zetian sternly snapped: "What I think is not something a maid like you can speculate. My life is devoted to the Emperor because only he is worthy of me. This is my sole reason for existence after my Spiritualization through the Soul Imperial Spring!"

"Moreover, the Emperor is not truly dead, his soul is only scattered somewhere, very soon, I will send Yang Tian to find and bring him back!"

Hearing Wu Zetian's words, Wu Yue got anxious: "Empress, this concerns life and death, can't you make an exception?"

Smack!

A sharp slap resounded.

Wu Zetian slapped Wu Yue with authority.

Instantly, inside the Imperial Chariot, there was a deathly silence.

"Let's not say anything anymore, for now, just escape!"

Yang Tian pulled Wu Yue to his side, channeling Spiritual Breath to rapidly fade away the red palm print on Wu Yue's face. Then, he channeled Spiritual Breath to support the Imperial Chariot, speeding forward swiftly.

Boom!

But at this moment, a roaring sound arose.

A strong Demon Aura shot forth from behind.

"The Blood Demon King has begun its attack!"

Yang Tian channeled Spiritual Breath, enveloping it around the Imperial Chariot.

But still, he was struck by the Demon Aura from the Blood Demon King.

Smack!

Yang Tian spat a mouthful of bile, saying gravely: "The power of this Blood Demon King, I'm afraid, even if I give it my all, I cannot contend with it!"

"How terrifying?"

Hearing Yang Tian's words, Wu Yue and Ling Ying paled.

Even Wu Zetian's expression was extremely grave.

Glancing at the Blood Demon King relentlessly hunting from behind, a hint of sadness flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes. She suddenly muttered softly: "Emperor, I'm about to do something unforgivable to you, but please rest assured, in life I belong to you, and in death I am your spirit!"

As if making a decision, Wu Zetian looked towards Yang Tian, saying: "Yang Tian, find a cave."

"Master's wife, what are you going to do?"

Yang Tian furrowed his brows.

"Empress, have you decided to be with Yang Tian?"

Wu Yue asked urgently.

"No way!" Wu Zetian said coldly: "Even if I die, I will not have relations with any man other than the Emperor! But I have a way to hide my Sacred Aura! This method is Soul Union!"

"Soul Union?"

Wu Yue and Ling Ying were both taken aback.

"Yes, Soul Union!" A trace of unwillingness flashed in Wu Zetian's eyes, but she persisted: "Soul Union means the intertwining of souls. Once successfully intertwined, a Soul Mark is imprinted on me, naturally concealing my Sacred Aura!"

"Master's wife, this is utterly unacceptable!"

Yang Tian grew anxious.

"Yang Tian, do you want to live or die?"

Wu Yue shouted furiously.

Yang Tian fell silent. He knew well the terrifying power of the Blood Demon King following behind.

If the Blood Demon King caught up, everyone would perish.

But he also remembered that Wu Zetian was the Empress of Great Tang, the legitimate wife of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, and Emperor Gaozong was Yang Tian's master.

In other words, Wu Zetian was Yang Tian's master's wife.

How could he possibly taint his master's legitimate wife?

"Master's wife, I still feel this is inappropriate..."

Before Yang Tian could finish, Wu Zetian coldly interrupted: "Shut up! All of you, shut up! This is not a real physical relationship, just an imprint on the soul. Don't overthink it, in this world, apart from the Emperor, no one can match me!"

Hearing Wu Zetian's words, Yang Tian breathed a sigh of relief inside.

"The most important thing now is to find a cave!"

Wu Yue said.

"There's no time, the Blood Demon King is relentlessly chasing, we can't go far. We'll have to perform Soul Union here!"

Ling Ying quickly said.

Yang Tian hesitated to speak, but Wu Zetian decisively made her move.

She sat down and waved out a Jade Slip.

Yang Tian received the Jade Slip, opened it with Divine Sense, and images of sacred patterns surged from within.

These patterns converged in Yang Tian's mind.

He was about to say something when Wu Zetian chanted a spell, murmuring incantations, and a rush of Sacred Spiritual Breath burst out. Immediately, Yang Tian's soul was drawn out by the Sacred Spiritual Breath.

"Ah..."

Wu Yue let out a cry of shock.

Following Wu Yue's gaze, Yang Tian looked down and saw his soul was unexpectedly naked.

At the same time, Wu Zetian's soul emerged from her body.

Yang Tian glanced and became petrified.

Wu Zetian's soul was also stark naked, her fair skin, lofty parts, and mysterious places...

All of it delivered a strong visual impact to Yang Tian.

For a moment, Yang Tian instinctively lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, Emperor!"

A tear glistened at the corner of Wu Zetian's eye, then her soul ascended, merging with Yang Tian's.

The surroundings were tranquil, only the two souls engaged in some intimate movements.

Initially, Wu Zetian resisted a bit.

But later, she too embraced it.

This made Wu Yue and Ling Ying, watching, feel amused: this dignified master's wife, wasn't she getting pleasure from her apprentice?

Watching Yang Tian and Wu Zetian's souls uniting, a blaze also surged within the two women.

They clenched their delicate teeth, turning away so as not to watch Yang Tian and Wu Zetian's intimate act...

Unnoticed, the Blood Demon King had ceased its pursuit.

Probably because it no longer sensed that Sacred Aura.

Inside the Imperial Chariot, after their souls united, Yang Tian and Wu Zetian returned to their bodies.

But by then, Wu Zetian was weeping: "I'm sorry, Emperor!"

Hearing this, Yang Tian turned to see Wu Zetian's tear-streaked face. In that instant, Yang Tian clenched his fists tightly: "It's the Blood Demon King, this beast, I must kill it!"
