Chapter 209 - Plotting to Seize The Divine Weapons (2/2)

“How did you…” Xun Shu’s eyes widened in surprise. How did Xin Han know his identity? Apart from Lonemoon’s group, he had not told anyone about it. There was no longer any record of their race’s existence in the immortal world.

“Naturally, I know about the Wandering Flame race, makers of divine weapons.” Xin Han’s gaze turned icy. He said disdainfully, “If it were not for your race, the immortal and divine realms would not have fought against each other in that great battle. Fortunately, there is a solution.”

Xun Shu’s expression darkened at his words but he did not rebut him.

None of them knew about the Wandering Flame race, but everyone present carried divine weapons.

“Little Han, it’s time.” Zi Chen suddenly reminded.

“Yes, Master!” Xin Han nodded and conjured a hand seal. Instantly, the array around the Emperor Ascension Stage lit up brightly. Everyone felt the array closing in on them.

Xin Han suddenly turned and looked at Hui Ling, who was behind him.

Hui Ling still seemed unable to make up her mind. She glanced at Chen Ge with a worried expression.

“Junior Sister Xuan, you promised me.” Xin Han urged.

Hui Ling bit her lip as if finally making up her mind. Walking to the center of the array, she conjured a hand seal and began chanting a series of spells.

Chen Ge looked at her in disbelief. These spells were…

Before he could ask further, he felt a jolt of pain. His divine weapon, which resided in his divine perception, flew out and landed in Hui Ling’s hands. The spell she was chanting was able to control the divine weapon in his body!

“Little Ling, you…” Chen Ge could hardly believe that she would use the spell he had taught her against himself.

“Master…” Hui Ling looked at him and cried. She looked aggrieved and conflicted, but not at all remorseful. “Please understand, Father said that only these divine weapons can open the seal of the heavenly pillar. I do this for the immortal realm, for the greater good.” The more she spoke, the more determined she sounded. She spoke as if she was the champion of righteousness.

Everyone was shocked. A few passed Chen Ge sympathetic looks. To term such an act of betrayal against her master as a righteous deed was something only she could do.

The forced removal of the divine weapon cause Chen Ge’s body to suffer a backlash. He coughed out a mouthful of blood. He gazed at Hui Ling with widened eyes as if seeing her clearly for the first time.

“Master!” Hui Ling exclaimed, startled. She subconsciously started walking towards Chen Ge.

“Little Xuan.” Zi Chen called out suddenly.

Hui Ling halted in her tracks. She looked at Chen Ge with an innocent expression and said, “Master, He’s my father, I must obey him. I know you understand my position, right?”

Chen Ge gave her a cold look and then closed his eyes as if to shut her out. He felt a pang in his heart. He had rescued her from the demons in the lower realm and brought her to the upper world. Knowing that she had been mistreated as a child, he had treated her better than his other disciples. Seeing her unharmed just now, he had even wondered whether Xin Han had coerced her.

Due to the circumstances of his previous reincarnation, he relied on this divine weapon to restore his primordial spirit. Hui Ling knew this very well, yet she had sided with a man she had met for just a few days, a man who was her father in her previous life. Moreover, she did not even seem to remember her previous life.

He suddenly remembered a passing comment Shen Ying had made as they were leaving Invincible Sect: You are a good chap, just a little blind!

He had thought she was just joking, now he had to admit that he was indeed blind!
