The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System Chapter 820 - This is my revenge
Previously on The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System...
"Arrest this man," Feiyue declared.
Without hesitation, the elders moved to arrest the Sect Leader.
No one there was crazy enough to disobey the orders of a Celestial Empress.
Feiyue's cold eyes fell on her own husband, who shuddered under that piercing gaze.
He was the sect's Grand Elder; he knew it too. And she knew that he knew.
All the Stellar Sovereigns of the Cosmic Void Sect knew it.
"My love… I didn't—"
"ENOUGH!" Feiyue roared, her voice cutting through the air like a sharpened blade.
"How dare you send our own son-in-law to such a fate?! Tell me! I warned you of Qingyi's importance, and yet you delivered him to the gates of death?!"
Feiyue pressed her hand against her husband's throat, her slender fingers sinking into his trembling flesh.
"I did not marry a coward capable of sacrificing his own daughter's love. I married a man who would defy the heavens themselves for his daughter's happiness!"
Xue Hua turned her face away the very instant her father's head was severed. It sailed through the air in a silent arc before falling to the ground with a dull thud.
He didn't even have time to defend himself.
It was hard to watch, but at that moment, she felt more anger toward her father than any remnant of love.
He could have spoken out about the Sect Leader's plan; he could have chosen his own daughter instead of the Sect,
He was the one who chose to betray her and Qingyi—his daughter and his son-in-law.
"Qingyi… he's not really dead, is he?" Xue Hua whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "There must be something we can do!"
She turned to Qianyao, who also had tears welling up in her golden eyes.
The moment Qianyao parted her lips to reply, Rou'er's eyes slowly opened.
"Big brother isn't dead…" she said, her voice as sweet as ever, her full, pink lips curving into a gentle smile.
Rou'er wriggled free from Qianyao's embrace, her delicate feet touching the ground with an ethereal lightness.
She had always been at a loss as to what she represented, as to what she had inherited from her mother, as to what her true power really was.
She had always exercised a certain control over causality and the reality around her—something she had never been able to understand, despite the sharp intelligence hidden behind her silly appearance.
Today, everything changed.
Now she understood perfectly what she was.
She was the Maiden of Celestial Will.
She had been born from the absence of a Leader for the Flames of Primordial Chaos, from the absence of a great creator—the very one who…
She raised her delicate little hand toward the collapsed gate.
With a single word—"open"—the portal tore itself open once more before them.
Without hesitating even for an instant, she stepped through it.
Qianyao and Xue Hua exchanged bewildered glances.
"Follow her," Feiyue ordered. "If she truly shares the same bloodline as her mother, she is the only one capable of saving Qingyi…"
Feiyue had known Rou'er's mother for centuries and knew all too well the power that bloodline carried.
It was as powerful as it was dangerous.
Qianyao and Xue Hua exchanged one last glance before finally pushing past their pain-filled emotions and moving forward, stepping through the portal together.
It was time to save their husband!
Once they had all disappeared into the portal, Feiyue took control of the situation, her sharp gaze sweeping across the surrounding area.
Unlike Qingyi's wives, she did not weep over her husband's death.
She loved him, but she had promised herself she would never give her heart to a man who did not prove himself worthy.
She hadn't allowed him to touch her for tens of thousands of years, and this had been the last straw.
"I am an elder of the Celestial Orthodox Martial Alliance. Until the entire leadership of your sect is brought to trial, you will all be under my jurisdiction."

Inside the secret realm of the Cosmic Void Sect, now reduced to utter ruins, absolutely nothing remained.
Not the ground, not the air, not even the void itself.
Every particle of light had been extinguished, every drop of life sucked dry.
In the absolute silence of that desolation, only two figures remained.
One of them was a colossal dragon, his body stretching over ten kilometers, his once-gleaming scales now cracked and covered in ash.
Embedded in his chest, a spear nearly a kilometer long pierced him clean through, driven into his heart until the tip emerged from his back on the other side.
His eyes, which had once burned with fury, no longer held even a flicker of life, and beneath the deformed scales, his heart had fallen utterly silent.
Before that monstrous body, another figure stood—shattered, torn apart, yet still breathing, albeit in ragged gasps.
"Ah… hahahaha, I survived, hahaha…" A mad cackle escaped from that figure's lips—hoarse and trembling—echoing through the void like the final echo of a dying man.
"Do you see, Long Wujin? You killed my father during a corruption investigation, you exterminated all my uncles under a treason inquiry! Hahahaha… this… this is my revenge!"
The Dragon Elder spat out the words, each one dissolving into maniacal laughter that shook his broken body even harder.
He was trapped in that abyss, knowing full well he would never escape, and yet his ruined face bore a sick, euphoric satisfaction.
He could feel the flames of primordial chaos slowly spreading through the void, hungry, creeping toward the last life still lingering there—his own.
He closed his eyes, awaiting the end.
The next moment, however, he was forced to open them again as a soft voice tore through the silence of the void.
"Calm down."
Out of nowhere, a figure materialized before him—small, beautiful, and delicate—a woman so lovely she would make the heavens themselves blush with envy.
At the sound of that voice, the flames of primordial chaos transformed.
Their uncontrolled hunger was soothed in an instant, the dull, gray hue transmuting into a vibrant green, rippling with life at every pulse.
"Young Lady Rou'er, I'm so glad you've come!" the Dragon Elder exclaimed, his eyes suddenly widening with desperate hope. "I was sent by your grandmother to rescue you from this wretched man! Quick, heal my body! With my full power, I can get us out of here!"
