Chapter 430: Chapter 432: Breakthrough to Advanced Innate (Five)
Moon Venerate and Emperor Zi were divine lovers a thousand years ago, and if anyone knew Emperor Zi’s whereabouts, it would likely be her alone…
Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow, “Wuchen is currently within the Academy.”
The woman’s words drifted lightly like the wind, gently brushing past their ears; in that instant, the expressions of several people stiffened, staring at the woman in astonishment.
Ye Wuchen? She said Emperor Zi was Ye Wuchen? If that were the case, wouldn’t it mean that both Moon Venerate and Emperor Zi had appeared? If word got out, who knows how many people would be shocked?
“Oh,” Hong Yun nodded, chuckling, “Moon Venerate, within the back mountain of our Academy, there lies a power left by Emperor Zi. We would trouble Moon Venerate to have Emperor Zi retrieve this power. We can’t stay here long and will soon return to the back mountain. Please take care, Moon Venerate, and moreover…”
Hong Yun’s expression slightly hardened, his cold gaze sweeping across the people present.
“Today’s matter, no one is allowed to speak of it, and if I find out who has exposed Moon Venerate’s identity, death without mercy!!!”
The words “death without mercy” caused everyone’s hearts to tremble.
Within the Central Continent, Moon Venerate indeed had quite a few allies, but even more enemies were coveting the treasures in her possession, which made the exposure of her identity infinitely dangerous.
Now, her strength was insufficient, and she was no longer the strong figure who commanded the winds and clouds a millennium ago. Until she grew stronger, her identity must not be known to outsiders.
“Forebear, rest assured, the younger generation is well aware,” Luo Yin respectfully clenched his fist, a hint of smugness crossing his face as his gaze swiftly swept over the pale-faced Qi Rong.
Hong Yun gently nodded, smiling contentedly.
Suddenly, a clear breeze swept through, and the two figures in the void vanished without a trace, as if nothing had happened…
Buzz!
The Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword hummed softly, swiftly falling into Mu Ruyue’s palm as she turned and the cold intent of murder flickered in the depths of her eyes.
“Lan Yue!” Mu Ruyue smirked coldly, “You should not have allied with Zi Feng, let alone covet his master…”
Lan Yue’s body shuddered, her feet inching backward slightly.
A gust of wind swept by, Mu Ruyue’s black hair wildly dancing in the wind as she lifted her eyes, her voice filled with a chilling murderous aura.
“Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword!”
Roar!
A dragon’s roar thundered across the sky.
The sword patterns emitted intense red light, illuminating the entire sky in red, and soon everyone saw the Flame Dragon on the Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword come to life, its massive body detaching from the longsword with a bang and rushing toward Lan Yue.
“No!”
Lan Yue’s eyes widened in horror, screaming at the top of her lungs.
But the Flame Dragon would not stop, its eyes flashing with red light full of cruelty, its body made of flames fiercely colliding toward Lan Yue.
Swish!
Flames ignited from her body, casting her battered figure out into the sky, scattering a rain of blood before falling.
Hot…
The heat enveloping her body twisted her expression into one of deep, bone-deep agony, as if the pain was endless…
“Haha!”
A proud laugh echoed from within the flames.
Lan Yue raised her eyes, her gaze mocking as she looked toward the white-robed girl standing against the wind, “Mu Ruyue, this time I didn’t lose to you; I lost to my own luck, if not for those old fellows intervening in time, today would have been your end! But I wasn’t favored by the God of Fortune like you were…”
