Chapter 1754 Prelude of Darkness (3)
On the Divine Moon Peak, Yun Lintian looked at Hongyue and asked. “How is it?”
“Everything is fine. I have already eliminated all of the threats. However, we should go to Devil Valley as soon as possible.” Hongyue replied.
Yun Lintian noticed something strange about Hongyue. He reached out to grab her wrist and frowned. “You got injured.”
He immediately infused his wood energy into her body.
Hongyue wanted to pull her arm back but let him grab it. “I spent too much energy.”
“You should take a rest before leaving.” Yun Lintian said with a serious expression.
“No need,” Hongyue responded. “I will be fine in a while.”
Yun Lintian didn’t say anything further and continued to treat her injury.
At that moment, Xian An returned with ten divine emperors. She had left half of them behind to guard the Red Lotus God Realm.
Xian An looked at Hongyue and said. “Your soul is obviously unstable.”
Hongyue frowned slightly and said. “It’s none of your business.”
Xian An pursed her lips and said nothing. She went to the pavilion and poured herself a cup of tea. Hongyue’s life and death had nothing to do with her, anyway.
For fear that Yun Lintian would nag her again, Hongyue quickly said. “By the way, I met someone on my way.”
“Who?” Yun Lintian asked.
“Qin Juehai,” Hongyue said with a cold smile.
“The Sword God Emperor?” Yun Lintian was surprised. In the past decade, the Sword God Emperor disappeared entirely from the world. It was said that he had entered a seclusion.
Yun Lintian didn’t quite believe it. After all, what was there left for a peak God Emperor like him to practice further?
“Sword God? He is unworthy of that sacred title. Don’t call him that again.” Hongyue snorted coldly. “There is only one Sword God in the world. That is Jian Yun.”
Yun Lintian didn’t know much about the background of the previous Sword God, Jian Yun. He couldn’t understand why Hongyue had a strong reaction.
“So, his name is Jian Yun.” Yun Lintian spoke in a low voice. “I see. The Fleeting Cloud Sword Emperor.”
He looked at Hongyue and asked. “What happened?”
“He has just come out of the Primordial God Forsaken Land,” Hongyue said. “Without a doubt, he stayed inside in the past decade. However, I have no idea what he was looking for.”
“Unfortunately, I have wasted too much energy on those bastards. Otherwise, I would have killed him.”
“What exactly happened to Senior Jian? Why do you hate Qin Juehai so much?” Yun Lintian asked curiously.
“He betrayed Jian Yun at a crucial moment and was the main culprit for his downfall.” Hongyue said, her eyes filled with a murderous intent.
“This trash is always jealous of Jian Yun. He finally found an opportunity to get rid of his senior brother, who taught him everything. If it weren’t for him, the outcome of the previous war might not have been like this.”
Jian Yun was one of the strongest God Emperors. His battle prowess could be ranked in the top six in the Divine Realm.
In the Primordial God Tribe’s war, Jian Yun played a significant role in defeating the invaders. It could be said that without him, it might not have been possible to expel the enemy from the Divine Realm.
However, just as Jian Yun was about to launch the final attack on the enemy, Qin Juehai seized the opportunity to stab him in the back. This unexpected betrayal forced the Beyond Heaven King to exhaust everything in order to complete the job. It also allowed Ren Yuan to attack him.
It could even be said that Qin Juehai was responsible for the downfall of both Jian Yun and the Beyond Heaven King.
This was why Long Qingxuan and Hongyue despised him to the bones.
Yun Lintian was oblivious to all this, but he could guess one or two things from Hongyue’s words. Even a god emperor could not escape a catastrophe caused by jealousy.
“Now that he has come out. Perhaps you will meet him soon.” Hongyue said and glanced at the sword necklace hanging around Yun Lintian’s neck. “If possible, use the sword to defeat him.”
“I will.” Yun Lintian replied solemnly. Even if Hongyue didn’t tell him, he would do it himself. It was to avenge Jian Yun by using his sword.
“It’s amusing how shameless he is to claim the Sword God title.” Master Bai scoffed. “With his narrow-mindedness, he will never become a great swordsman in his entire life.”
“Alright. That’s enough.” Hongyue pulled her arm back.
She turned to look at Yue Hua and said. “You better take good care of this place.”
“Come back safely.” Yue Hua said with a gentle smile.
Hongyue turned her head away and said to Yun Lintian. “Let’s go.”
Yun Lintian nodded and summoned the Fleeting Cloud Profound Ark.
Hongyue was surprised to see it.
“Senior Yun Yi gave this to me earlier.” Yun Lintian explained.
“I thought it was already gone.” Hongyue nodded slightly.
She returned to Eclipse Ark to Yue Hua and boarded the white profound ark. A hint of nostalgia appeared in her eyes as she touched the railing. Everything here still looked the same.
Yun Lintian jumped onto the profound ark and called Xian An and the others to follow.
The squad on this trip consisted of four god emperors, Jin Long, Xian An, Master Bai, and Hongyue. There were also twenty Peak Divine Emperors. Including Yun Lintian, Qingqing, and Linlin, there were twenty-seven individuals. It was a frightening lineup.
“We will leave first.” Yun Lintian spoke to Yue Hua and immediately steered the profound ark away.
Yue Hua raised her head to gaze at the bright moon and whispered to herself. “The time has come.”
***
When the white profound ark left the Moon God Realm, Mo Tian and the others immediately received the news.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the Divine Realm changed, and there was a flurry of activity among the different factions.
Inside the Sword God Realm, Qin Juehai returned to his residence, and Jian Lu immediately came over.
“Welcome back, Master.” Jian Lu bowed his head. “There is a movement by Yun Lintian. He should be heading to Devil Valley right now.”
Qin Juehai’s expression remained calm as he asked. “What about the sword?”
“It’s confirmed. The Heaven Piercing Sword is in his hand.” Jian Lu responded.
A cold glint flashed across Qin Juehai’s eyes as he spoke. “We will leave tomorrow.”
