The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 296. The reason for your failure is that you angered me.

Chapter 296: 296. The reason for your failure is that you angered me.

Just by looking at these scars, you can imagine how much suffering she must have endured.

In the sky, Yu Qing and Xuan Ling were both shocked, their lips slightly parted.

Gou Cheng’s eyes burst with a gleam, staring intently at Qiao Sen.

Directly opposite Qiao Sen, Di Ao felt even more the impact brought by Qiao Sen’s scars.

She asked incredulously, "Qiao Sen, how... how did you become like this?"

Di Ao couldn’t believe that Qiao Sen, pampered from a young age, would have such a body of scars.

"You really dare to ask, Di Ao, why did I become like this?"

Qiao Sen strode towards Di Ao, swinging his fist again, and shouted angrily, "Do you know how much suffering I’ve endured?"

Di Ao hurriedly raised her hand to block, but Qiao Sen’s fist, filled with the power of tremors, made her take a step back.

"Do you know how much pain I’ve endured?"

"Do you know how much sweat and blood I’ve shed?"

"All the pain I’ve endured, all the hardships I bore, were to defeat you, Di Ao!"

Qiao Sen spoke faster and faster, his punches becoming increasingly savage, like a storm, shrouding Di Ao in a flurry of fist shadows.

Di Ao struggled to fend off, but her Foundation Establishment Realm power and body, filled with moisture, couldn’t withstand Qiao Sen’s Ripple Divine Skill. Her arms hurt so much she couldn’t lift them.

"Ora ora ora ora!"

Qiao Sen let out a series of angry roars, finally breaking through Di Ao’s defense. Countless fist shadows fell like raindrops on her body, making her bleed all over, her face unrecognizable.

"This fist is for my mother the queen!"

Qiao Sen punched Di Ao in the stomach, curling her up like a shrimp.

"This fist is for myself, take it!"

Qiao Sen put all her strength into one punch on Di Ao’s face, sending her flying and crashing to the ground with a loud thud.

"Di Ao!"

Qiao Sen walked over, towering above, pointing at Di Ao, and said coldly, "The reason for your failure is only one, and that is you angered me!"

Di Ao glared at Qiao Sen, finally unable to endure her injuries, her vision darkened, and she fainted.

Qiao Sen bent down, picked up Di Ao, and faced the stunned civil and military officials, raising the unconscious Di Ao high with one hand.

"From today, I, Qiao Sen, will begin regency. Whoever dares defy me, Di Ao will be your fate."

She swung hard, and Di Ao was tossed out, landing on the steps in front of Chaotian Hall, smashing into the ground, splashing blood everywhere.

The officials were terrified, and those standing too close were splashed with Di Ao’s blood, their knees weakened, collapsing to the ground.

This kneeling seemed to topple a domino, causing more and more officials to follow suit.

In the blink of an eye, the officials densely packed the square, all kneeling before Qiao Sen, including the ministers on both sides of Chaotian Hall.

At this moment, only Qiao Sen was still standing, enjoying everyone’s bowing, her chest burning with passion and ambition.

The officials of the Di Faction were pale, trembling, their eyes on the unconscious Di Ao, with only one thought in their hearts.

Could it be that the Di Faction is really finished?

In the sky, Fang Zhou gently applauded Qiao Sen.

The three months of hellish training in the gourd space have indeed paid off; Qiao Sen did incredibly well.

She endured so much hardship, achieved a transformational growth, and finally defeated her rival Di Ao in front of everyone, proving herself.

This whole plot feels like a protagonist’s journey in a passionate manga.

Yu Qing and the others were also amazed, watching Qiao Sen, initially thinking she’d need hand-held guidance, unexpectedly she quickly grew to handle things alone.

Yet what happened during those three days in the secret room with Qiao Sen remains a mystery if she refuses to disclose the truth.

"Di Ao has been defeated."

Xuan Ling suddenly spoke, "Can we return now?"

"No, it’s not yet time to return."

Yu Qing’s expression was serious, "Have you forgotten the True Mother God Sect behind Di Ao?"

Xuan Ling pursed her lips; she didn’t want to mention it, but Yu Qing insisted, no one knows if it’s true or false.

According to the sect’s directive, the three are to assist Qiao Sen in defeating Di Ao, the rest about the True Mother God Sect has nothing to do with them; Yu Qing insists on pulling them into this mess.

She thought for a moment and said, "Has the sect responded yet? It’s been three days."

Yu Qing shook her head, "Not yet, maybe something delayed it on the way."

Xuan Ling suddenly eyed her suspiciously: "You’re not deliberately delaying time, are you?"

Yu Qing gave her a slight smile: "You’re overthinking, sister. I won’t act recklessly."

Fang Zhou was not far from them, listening to their disciples; he thought briefly and took out paper and pen from the gourd to write a few lines.

Yu Qing was not wrong; after Di Ao’s defeat, the real test begins.

The True Mother God Sect secretly supported Di Ao to ascend the throne; once Di Ao failed, the sect might quit the game, or they might turn the table directly.

Fang Zhou dared not reveal his identity to avoid being targeted by the lurking General Yaksha.

Both sides are waiting quietly; it depends on who can hold out till the end, who will act first.

Below, Qiao Sen had already led the ministers into Chaotian Hall; the ceremony of taking over power was completed, and she would officially begin regency, reclaiming power from Di Ao.

If Qiao Sen can maintain today’s decisiveness and iron hand, along with the strong aura of a leader.

As long as she arrests a bunch of Di Faction members as a warning, wins over allies, stabilizes the public, then these spineless bureaucrats are simply not her match.

This was already discussed with Qiao Sen in the gourd space, just to see how much she could understand.

Fang Zhou left the Imperial Palace directly, first sending the sixth child back to the Crown Prince Mansion, then had her place the note he wrote in Yu Qing’s room, and then returned himself.

Yu Qing and Xuan Ling quickly returned from the Palace, Qiao Sen remained to handle state affairs, Gou Cheng stayed to protect her.

Yu Qing returned to her room and saw the note; this time, she was not as surprised as the last, picking it up and reading it directly.

Fang Zhou wrote only three things on the paper.

First, protect Qiao Sen’s safety to prevent the True Mother God Sect from going berserk.

Second, let Qiao Sen find Chief Tributor Du Ruxue; she might know where Li Shuxian is hiding.

The second point was the conclusion Fang Zhou reached after long contemplation in the gourd during those three months, which he didn’t tell Qiao Sen initially to avoid distracting her during the special training; now it’s fine to say.

After Emperor Qiao Zhi’s accident, Di Ao continued to strengthen Palace guards, supposedly for security, but actually searching for the missing Li Shuxian.

Du Ruxue, as a Tributor, couldn’t interfere with political matters, leaving Di Ao to conduct searches. Such a large-scale search surprisingly yielded no results.

Either Li Shuxian was already dead, or someone helped her hide. Considering Di Ao’s infiltration of the Palace, only Du Ruxue could hide Li Shuxian unobserved; Di Ao guessed but couldn’t do anything about it.

Thus, Fang Zhou planned for Qiao Sen to try her luck; after all, trying wouldn’t hurt.
