Qingluan was also angered. It was true that she had eaten leftovers, but from what she knew, by the time it reached the Empress, it had already been passed down several times.
So, she said disdainfully, "Yes, although I was a step behind you, theoretically, you have also eaten other people's leftovers. So, we are pretty much the same. Moreover, don't you think leftovers are fragrant?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress felt it made sense.
So, she asked Qingluan, "Then do you want to eat leftovers with me?"
"If you mean it, then I will accompany you to the end!"
Qingluan said triumphantly.
At this moment, Jinfeng, who had arrived, also asked, "What about me?"
"Let's all join in and eat from the big pot!"
Hearing this, Yun Fan shivered.
Thus, the three of them ate leftovers until, after two days of fighting, Yun Fan finally emerged victorious.
Afterward, they accompanied Yun Fan and left.
Before they departed, the Empress asked Xuanfeng to temporarily take over as the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan.
Xuanfeng was speechless, mainly because he had no interest in the position of patriarch! He had originally intended for Jinfeng to take the position!
But Jinfeng had also left with Yun Fan.
So, out of helplessness, he had to take the position.
...
When the group arrived at the True Martial Continent, it was indeed as the Empress had said. The entire True Martial Continent was covered in an eerie energy.
Yun Fan was a professional at dealing with the eerie. He said, "This eerie energy is not true eerie energy!"
"What do you mean?"
The three women looked at Yun Fan, puzzled.
Yun Fan explained, "This eerie energy is released by someone cultivating the power of the eerie. Of course, eerie puppets also possess this eerie power!"
"It's similar to how you cultivate my Battle Heaven power. It's not the true Battle Heaven power, and similarly, this is not the true eerie power!"
Upon hearing this, Qingluan immediately cursed, "These unfilial descendants! How dare they do such a thing behind my back! I will absolutely not forgive them!"
Then she asked Yun Fan, "Husband, can they still be saved?"
Yun Fan nodded, "As long as they give up cultivating the power of the eerie, I can purify them with my power. If they don't come to their senses, I can do nothing!"
His meaning was simple: if these people willingly fell into depravity, he would be helpless.
"Hmph!"
Qingluan snorted coldly, "If they dare to fall into depravity, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Then, the four descended upon the True Martial Continent and arrived at the Creation Immortal Hall.
"Who dares to trespass into the great stronghold of my True Martial Clan?"
The leader roared.
Immediately, dozens of figures descended. Most of them were cultivators above the Immortal King realm. It had to be said that the True Martial Clan, being the lord of the star cluster, possessed very profound strength, with two Immortal Emperors among them.
If Qingluan were added, then the True Martial Clan would be an invincible existence in this world.
Upon seeing Qingluan, the leader was shocked. Wasn't this their ancestor's sister? The strongest person in the True Martial Clan!
He never expected her to return. Previously, Qingluan's coffin had flown out of the True Martial Clan, and despite their great efforts, they couldn't find her.
He never imagined Qingluan would awaken.
At this moment, led by the patriarch, they quickly bowed to Qingluan, "Junior Qingfeng pays respects to Ancestor!"
"Pays respects to Ancestor!"
Everyone was extremely respectful, but Qingluan's expression was not good, because all these juniors were radiating eerie power.
It seemed they had all become lackeys of the eerie.
At this moment, Qingluan said coldly, "Tell me, why have you all become like this?"
Qingfeng quickly replied, "Ancestor, we found the corpse of an eerie being from the 'Heaven' rank. We deciphered the eerie power and used it to forge the strongest combat force!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan knew that 'Heaven' rank eerie beings ranged from Immortal King to Immortal Emperor, their status not being on the same level as the Nine Eerie Ancestors.
However, in this era, they were considered elites! For example, Xiao Heitian and Da Heitian, whom he had killed before, were both 'Heaven' rank eerie beings.
At this moment, Qingluan said coldly, "You've brought this upon yourselves! How can you possibly control the eerie power?"
"Give up cultivating the eerie now and accept purification, and I will forgive you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
It had to be said that Qingluan was truly angry. She never imagined these descendants would be so audacious, not fearing becoming puppets of the eerie!
However, Qingfeng said, "Ancestor, we're afraid we cannot do this. Only by coming into contact with the eerie power can one truly understand how powerful it is. Without the eerie power, our clan cannot achieve such a formidable state!"
"Silence!"
Qingluan was furious, "How many ancestors of our clan have died at the hands of the eerie, and yet you are now willing to become puppets of the eerie! Do you wish to die?"
Undoubtedly, Qingluan had lost her patience. It was highly likely that she would make an example of them next.
But Qingfeng and the others were oblivious, showing no intention of backing down.
"Ancestor, if you were to come into contact with the eerie, you would change your mind!"
"It seems you have no intention of waking up?"
Undoubtedly, at this point, Qingluan had decided to kill the patriarch.
The patriarch said, "The power of the eerie is our faith. Even you, Ancestor, cannot stop us!"
"That's right, whoever dares to stop us from cultivating the power of the eerie is our enemy!"
Everyone else quickly chimed in.
At this moment, they showed no remorse. After all, they had created countless powerful forces and were preparing to invade other star clusters.
One day, the entire universe would be under the rule of the True Martial Clan.
"Hopeless!"
Qingluan immediately made her move, heading towards the patriarch.
The patriarch saw this and was dismissive. He knew the Ancestor's strength. If it were ten thousand years ago, he wouldn't dare to be presumptuous.
An casual strike from the Ancestor could have killed him. But now, the Ancestor was only at the fifth realm of Immortal Emperor, the same as him. He had no reason to fear Qingluan.
"Boom!"
After one strike, Qingfeng was forced back several steps before he stopped, looking at Qingluan in shock.
"Why is it that even though we are in the same realm, and I have the eerie's augmentation, you can still suppress me?"
He looked at Qingluan in disbelief.
Qingluan said disdainfully, "Because the power of the eerie is not the strongest power, and it carries an inherent evil aura. It does not deserve to exist in this world!"
Qingfeng roared unwillingly, "No, the power of the eerie is the strongest!"
At this moment, he said to another Grand Elder, "Qingshan, assist me!"
"Good!"
Two Immortal Emperor level experts attacked Qingluan together.
Just then, the Empress and Yun Fan were about to intervene, but Qingluan said, "You don't need to interfere. I will clean up the family myself!"
Seeing this, the two did not make a move.
In an instant, three Immortal Emperor level powerhouses began to fight. Qingluan, at the fifth realm, was facing a fifth realm and a fourth realm opponent.
Logically, she should have been at a disadvantage, as both of them had the power of the eerie, making them much stronger than cultivators of the same level.
But after Qingluan obtained Yun Fan's Battle Heaven power, things were not so simple. Once the Battle Heaven power was unleashed, Qingfeng and Qingshan, even working together, would be no match for Yun Fan.
In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains trembled. The destructive power of the battle between the three peerless experts was immense.
Qingfeng and Qingshan wore solemn expressions. How could the Ancestor's strength be so formidable?
"Bang!"
With one palm strike, Qingluan sent both of them flying. Then, with a ghost-like movement, she cleaved the heavens and earth, and struck Qingshan with a palm.
Qingshan spat out a mouthful of black blood, temporarily losing his combat effectiveness.
"Ancestor, this eerie power is the dream of our True Martial Clan! Even you cannot destroy our dream!"
At this critical moment, Qingfeng unleashed his strongest power, continuously attacking Qingluan. However, under the protection of the Battle Heaven power, Qingluan remained unharmed.
With another punch, he defeated Qingfeng. The crowd turned pale, not expecting the Ancestor's strength to be so immense, defeating even their strongest two experts.
Then, was there any point in resisting?
However, they were completely unwilling to give up. After benefiting from the power of the eerie for so long, they did not wish to lose this power.
This was absolutely not coercion; the entire True Martial Clan willingly cultivated the power of the eerie.
Just as Qingluan was about to finish them off, a voice suddenly came, "Wait!"
Qingluan stopped and looked at the person who had arrived. Not only her, but the other three also showed grave expressions.
Especially Yun Fan, who immediately recognized the person before him as a genuine eerie expert.
It was highly probable that this was the corpse the True Martial Clan had found, and his appearance announced that he had likely resurrected.
"Sister, can you do me a favor and spare them?"
This eerie expert spoke.
"Who are you?"
Qingluan asked, confused.
The other party replied, "I am your brother, Qingchen!"
"How did you become like this?"
Qingluan asked in shock. This development completely exceeded her expectations.
Qingchen said, "Sister, you should know that ten thousand years ago, I was left with only a soul. Now, my soul has occupied his body, so from today onwards, his bloodline and power belong to me. Oh, by the way, his name when he was alive was Xumi Tian!"
Upon hearing this, the four changed their expressions. They had never heard of an eerie being being replaced before, nor had they expected Qingchen to have occupied the body of an eerie being.
At this moment, Qingluan immediately said, "Brother, give up! You wouldn't have forgotten how you became a soul, would you!"
Qingchen had been eroded by the eerie ten thousand years ago. At the last moment, he had abandoned his body, leaving behind only a soul to escape the calamity.
If he hadn't decisively abandoned his body back then, even his soul would have likely been annihilated.
