Chapter 716: Chapter 718: A Thousand Years of Deep Love (Part 2)
His gaze drifted indifferently over everyone and then softened as his eyes settled back on Mu Ruyue, a gentle arc forming at the corners of his lips.
"Don’t worry, with me here, no one will hurt you, just as it was a thousand years ago."
A thousand years ago, since they met, this woman was destined to stay in his life. Even after a millennium, his feelings for her remained unchanged...
Mu Ruyue lifted her eyes to the white-haired man before her, involuntarily reaching out to brush through his heart-achingly white locks, her eyelashes quivering slightly, a trace of distress passing through her dark eyes.
"Bai Ze, it must have been hard for you, waiting all these years..."
Bai Ze shook his head, a soft smile playing on his lips, "I have memories with you, so it wasn’t hard. They... were enough to sustain me through the millennium..."
Suddenly, within the crowd, a shrill cry of surprise rang out.
"Bai Ze! The ancient Fierce Beast Bai Ze, who always fought alongside Moon Venerate a thousand years ago! I finally remember who Bai Ze is!"
The one speaking was Pengfei from the Martial Sect, his eyes almost disbelieving as he stared at the two, his expression more shocked than if he had seen a ghost!
Bai Ze... this powerful Demon Beast is Bai Ze... then could Mu Ruyue possibly be...
No!
Impossible!
Moon Venerate had already perished a thousand years ago, so how could she still be alive? Besides, this woman is so young, it can’t possibly be Moon Venerate!
Wait a second...
Suddenly, it seemed as if he remembered something, his eyes widening in shock.
Just now, Bai Ze seemed to say he had been waiting for her for a thousand years? Could it be that she is the reincarnation of Moon Venerate? My God, this news is just too shocking!
The others seemed to have realized this as well, their gazes turning toward the two figures intertwined with black hair and white strands in the wind...
Especially Fu Qing, who initially looked down on Mu Ruyue, now regretted it so much he felt sick, biting his lip, a complex look flickering through his eyes.
As someone from the Central Continent, there was no one who did not know what the name Moon Venerate represented.
She was the peerless power of a thousand years ago, the person closest to a God in Alchemy Technique! Just one step away, she and Zi Huang could have ascended to godhood together, but at that crucial moment, something went wrong, and she vanished into thin air from the Central Continent forever.
Who could have imagined that after a thousand years, the extraordinary power of the past would return to this land...
He Shaoyuan’s face turned ashen, fear finally showing in his gloomy eyes.
The Eight-clawed Fire Chi had been killed in an instant by that man, what about him? He had not expected Shangguan Feng, the Young Master of the Immortal Medicine Sect, to give him such a dangerous mission!
Not only had he failed to curry favor with the Immortal Medicine Sect, but now even his own life was at risk...
At this thought, he suddenly felt a profound regret...
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just then, the earth shook and the entire valley was stricken by a severe earthquake. The crowd, still not recovered from their shock, was stunned by the abrupt disaster, looking around with confusion.
"This is bad!"
He Shaoyuan’s face changed dramatically, "It’s the Heavenly Doctor Array, something has gone wrong with the Heavenly Doctor Array!"
Everyone was greatly alarmed, their fearful eyes fixed on the trembling mountain range, a sense of dread filling their hearts...
"Be careful!"
Boom!
A massive rock tumbled down from the mountainside, rolling swiftly towards Mu Ruyue. Bai Ze raised his hand and blasted a powerful force at the giant rock, instantly shattering it to pieces.
He then pulled Mu Ruyue close to him, tightly protecting her in his embrace, a faint glow of something otherworldly flashing across his serene features.
