Chapter 1357: Chapter 1357 Bright Moon’s Sorrow
"Master, there is one more thing."
Jueqing respectfully said: "Someone has already assumed the role of Emperor Ling, Xuan Ao, a formidable expert seated at the Tianzun Divine Palace is at the Third Layer Emperor’s realm."
"Assigned the role of Emperor Ling to a Third Layer Emperor?" Feng Wuchen was slightly surprised.
"The Grand Sovereign probably fears we will crush the Spirit Emperor Temple and never gain control over the Ling Realm," an emperor respectfully said.
Feng Wuchen sneered coldly: "Gaining control over the Ling Realm is a matter of time; Moon God Palace will be the first to fall. We will eliminate every claw of the Spirit Emperor Temple, and finally take down the Spirit Emperor Temple itself."
"Master, when should we act?" one of the emperors asked.
"Destroying Moon God Palace is a mere flick of the wrist; even Spirit Emperor Temple is no challenge," another emperor stated arrogantly.
"Wait until I break through the mid-stage Heavenly Deity Realm, then I will personally kill Chi Qingshan!" Feng Wuchen fiercely said.
....
Asura Realm, Asura Temple.
A strong Heavenly Deity Realm expert appeared in a flash and knelt respectfully: "Reporting to Asura Heavenly Emperor, Li Xu is dead, Wind Shadow has broken through to the Heavenly Deity Realm, and Tian Tong young master was defeated by him."
"Broken through to Heavenly Deity Realm?" Asura Heavenly Emperor’s face darkened, saying: "This kid’s growth speed is terrifying; he just recently broke through to late-stage Heavenly Monarch, and now he has already broken through to Heavenly Deity Realm!"
"Initially, Tian Tong young master could have killed Wind Shadow, but at the crucial moment, heavily injured Wind Shadow broke through," the person said respectfully, even he himself could scarcely believe it.
"Did the sneak attack fail?" Asura Heavenly Emperor asked with a frown.
"It’s not considered a failure; the situation was special. Li Xu was trapped by a certain ancient power from Wind Shadow, unable to move—no, to be precise, his actions were extremely slow, and later he was killed by Wind Shadow," the person respectfully said.
"Ancient power? Slow movements?" Asura Heavenly Emperor furrowed his brows deeply.
The person shook his head and said: "I saw it with my own eyes; this power is very strange. I don’t know what it is, never seen it before. It’s completely different from Divine Powers. Against Tian Tong young master, if he also used this mysterious power, Tian Tong young master wouldn’t even have the chance to make a move."
"What kind of power can trap opponents?" Asura Heavenly Emperor was extremely puzzled.
After a pause, the person continued: "Later, it was Gu Xingfeng who intervened to save Tian Tong young master, secretly accompanied by Jueqing, ranked first among the Eighteen Emperors. I didn’t dare to make a rash move."
Asura Heavenly Emperor’s face turned gloomy, coldly saying: "That Wind Shadow has really tough luck; several times we’ve tried to take him down without success."
"Asura Heavenly Emperor, trying to eliminate Wind Shadow may not be feasible with mid-stage Heavenly Deity Realm; his combat strength is very formidable, supported by numerous Divine Artifacts. If we don’t send out late-stage Heavenly Deity Realm, I’m afraid we can’t deal with Wind Shadow," the person continued.
Asura Heavenly Emperor’s eyes flashed with cold light, saying viciously: "The task the Grand Sovereign gave to me must not fail."
"Ghost Cry! You will go after Wind Shadow; I don’t care what method you use, just bring back Wind Shadow’s head," Asura Heavenly Emperor ordered.
"I respectfully follow the command of the Heavenly Emperor!" Ghost Cry’s respectful voice came from the hall.
"Li Xu has already startled the snake; wait for a while before taking action. This time, you must not fail," Asura Heavenly Emperor said.
"No need to worry, Asura Heavenly Emperor," Ghost Cry’s respectful voice echoed.
"The strongest Heavenly Deity Realm of Asura Temple can definitely handle it with his intervention. Even in a sneak attack, not even Jueqing can save Wind Shadow," the person thought to himself.
...
Dragon God Palace.
Above Mount Tianxu, a graceful figure flashed into appearance.
The person was Bright Moon.
Bright Moon’s beautiful eyes observed the square, watching Ling Xiaoxiao walk towards the main hall.
"Is she Wind Shadow’s fiancée? She’s so beautiful," Bright Moon muttered to herself, her beautiful eyes tinged with a faint sorrow.
Anyone could see that Bright Moon’s face didn’t look good.
"What’s happening to me? Why do I feel sad? Why does my heart ache? Why do I envy her? Why is he all I can think of? This heartache, the only other time I felt this was when relatives were killed years ago; it hasn’t happened since," Bright Moon thought to herself, crystalline tears unconsciously falling.
"Could it be that I’ve...no, I am a killer; I can’t have feelings, absolutely not," Bright Moon tried desperately to deny, but watching Ling Xiaoxiao’s silhouette made her increasingly anxious and sad, feeling as if losing something.
"Hmm?" Just about to enter the hall, Ling Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but turn to look at the sky.
Ling Xiaoxiao did not notice Bright Moon’s presence; it was just a very peculiar feeling that told her someone was watching her.
Realizing Ling Xiaoxiao’s gaze, Bright Moon quickly wiped her tears, glanced briefly at Ling Xiaoxiao, and then hastily flew away.
"Who is she?" Ling Xiaoxiao was puzzled, not knowing Bright Moon, never having seen her.
Seeing Bright Moon fly away, Ling Xiaoxiao’s willow brows slightly furrowed, thinking: "She’s crying; her eyes look so sad. Is it because of Brother Feng?"
A woman’s intuition told Ling Xiaoxiao that Bright Moon was crying because of Feng Wuchen.
"Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong?" Ling Xuan asked.
"It’s nothing," Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head and then entered the main hall.
Ling Xiaoxiao was puzzled in her heart: "Who is she? Why hasn’t Brother Feng mentioned her? Could Brother Feng and her..."
By a lake in a forest, Bright Moon cried secretly, tears falling like raindrops, like a wounded angel, heart-wrenching.
"Why does thinking make me more sad? I don’t want to think! I don’t want to think! Stop tormenting me," Bright Moon cried painfully, clutching her head and shaking.
The more Bright Moon didn’t want to think, the more Feng Wuchen’s image appeared in her mind, that intense feeling causing her immense pain.
Who would have thought that Bright Moon, the top assassin of Tianying Pavilion, with countless kills, also had such a fragile side?
...
Linglong Pavilion.
Shi Chen flashed into appearance outside the main gate, greeting respectfully, "Pavilion Master!"
"Have you looked into everything?" Dan Yuzi’s indifferent voice came from inside the pavilion.
Shi Chen respectfully replied: "It’s all been investigated, just as Mr. Guigu said. I’ve asked around at Tianshi Immortal Mansion, Artificer Guild, and Inscription Master Guild. Wind Shadow is indeed at the Divine Grade and possesses Thought-Forming Instrumentation, One-Thought Pattern Formation, and One-Thought Pill Concoction divine skills."
"Swish!"
Inside the pavilion, Dan Yuzi transformed into a series of afterimages and flashed out.
"Seems my junior disciple didn’t deceive me," Dan Yuzi said with a full face of joy, "I must obtain the One-Thought Pill Concoction divine skill!"
"All major and minor powers in the Ling Realm know Wind Shadow is a Divine Grade Artifact Refiner and call him Lord Feng," Shi Chen continued.
"A God-tier Realm, calling him Lord Feng is indeed apt," Dan Yuzi chuckled slightly, his gaze shifting to Shi Chen, asking, "Where is Wind Shadow now?"
"At Dragon God Palace on Mount Tianxu, guarded by Eighteen Emperors," Shi Chen answered respectfully.
Dan Yuzi sneered: "Just Eighteen Emperors, I don’t even regard them!"
The strongest of the Eighteen Emperors is the Sixth Layer Emperor Jueqing. With Dan Yuzi’s Eighth Heavenly Emperor cultivation, even Long Qinghun might not be able to deal with him!
