Chapter 349: A Third Party (1/2)

She looked around, even using sensing her surroundings but found that she was all alone.

”Has something happened?”

Ming Yue immediately left and quickly made her way to the Yao Clan. As it entered her view, she felt the tense atmoshere and saw two groups facing against each other.

None other than the full forces of the Yao and the Mu, they stared daggers at each other, wielding their weapons in hand. At the front of both sides was Ling Xue and the Ancestor facing Mu Jing and a heavily armored but young man.

”Bitch, I know you and your clan laughed at me. I'm not going to leave until you go on your knees and beg.”

Mu Jing called Ling Xue out almost in a pouting fashion, like a angry little child. The young man by her then stepped forward, his expression was icy as he looked at the Yao Clan.

”You've heard what my fiance said. We will not leave until this wrong has been righted.”

His voice was charismatic, heroic even. His armor began to glow in a radiant glow as he revealed his strength, activating his bloodline. The third eye was surrounded by feather shaped marks as the pupil turned golden.

If it were anyone else, perhaps they would kneel.

But not one person in the Yao Clan did, none of them even twitched at his show of force.

”To think you would be willing to do this for her. Risking war on whim? You infatuated fool!”

The Ancestor pointed at him, barking out one insult after the other.

Ling Xue walked right to Mu Jing's to be husband before looking at her.

”Really? First, you send the Ironclad King after me now this? Were you expecting me to die that easily?” she asked, enunciating each word.

Each word was like a poisonous blade stabbing into Mu Jing's ego.

The Mu Clan's princess faltered as she gripped her fiance's shoulder.

”Stop it, you dare talk to her like that?”

He spat at her and Ling Xue turned her attention to him.

”Mu Yunfei, as it is now, the Mu Clan will die in your hands. If you really dare to start a war now, then come.”

Her aura exploded forth as crimson hair donned her head. She was a tall woman, just a inch or so taller than Mu Yunfei. And with her current display, she seemed absolutely towering to him.

”She's become much more stronger”, Ming Yue noted, finding the aura denser but under control.

It seemed like a fight could break out any moment, a fuse that was already lit.

Just as was said, this would bring about war between the two clans. After being at each other's throats for so long, neither group wanted to back down now.

Ming Yue watched from afar, thinking back to the words the Lunar Executioner left.

”Don't take either clan's side...”

Slowly rolling over each word, she pondered on what she should do.

”I suppose I understand what he meant. There is no doubt the Yao Clan will be curious as to where I had gone. On the off chance, perhaps both clans will put aside their differences to go after me.”

Such a thing was possible. After all, the crux of this situation was the secret realm which contained the supposed key to controlling it. From what Ming Yue understood, the secret realm was of the highest priority for both clans. For her to have vanished and returned, it would raise suspicions.

In the end, Ming Yue decided her course of action.

”For them to fight here and now, I'd rather not be a part of it.”

”You could just abandon them. They think you've vanished so just do it” Xue Yue chimed in, finding this alternative quite enticing.

”Then how am I supose to get Hei Yue and Xiao Yin then? Do you want me to sneak around until I find them? That's be wasting time.”

Ming Yue shot back.

”And what you're thinking is better? I am you, do you think I don't know what you're trying to do?”
