On the fifth day.
The Saint Lady received a signal flare. She clenched it in her hand and read the message on it.
Whoos.h.!.+
The holy light spread from Huang Yanchen’s body. She asked, “Who sent you the signal flare?”
The Saint Lady didn’t try to hide it. “Zhang Ruochen.”
Martial Saint Canglan who was standing in front of the Saint Lady said, “Countless heavenly kings in the imperial government want to kill him, yet he still dares contact you? You guys have a deep bond.”
The Saint Lady didn’t argue back. Instead, she said, “He asked me for a favor.”
“He would ask others for a favor?”
Huang Yanchen and Martial Saint Canglan almost said it at the same time, but they didn’t ask the Saint Lady what Zhang Ruochen was asking for.
The atmosphere in Saint Palace Yuanchu became slightly awkward.
Huang Yanchen and Martial Saint Canglan had all kinds of a.s.sumptions in their minds, but they vetoed them all.
The Saint Lady said, “He said he doesn’t want to hurt the ordinary people. Kunlun’s Field is the world of trillions of people, not the world for First Central Empire.”
Martian Saint Canglan smiled. “You guys share almost the same ideology. No wonder he asked you instead of me.”
Huang Yanchen said, “The saints in Kunlun’s Field should’ve arrived at Peakless Mountain already. Let’s head there as well.”
…
On the sixth day.
The headquarters of Demonic Sect, Saint Wood Mountain.
Mu Lingxi was detained in a palace made of iron on Saint Wood Mountain. She wasn’t allowed to be in contact with the outside world, nor was anyone allowed in.
Huang Yanchen came to the iron palace, accompanied by the saint leader of Mu’s family and Yun Zheng.
“Tomorrow is the seventh day, and Qiu Yu of the Fire Tribe will come marry Lingxi. We don’t allow anyone else to visit her, but you’re the senior sister of Lingxi. You’re an exception,” Yun Zheng said.
Huang Yanchen nodded, looking at the bizarre building that was perfectly sealed.
Squeak!
Huang Yanchen opened the door, leaving a long shadow on the ground.
Huang Yanchen saw Mu Lingxi after she walked in. She was sitting on the floor, and her eyes were glazing over. Her hair was messy, and she was covered with mud. She looked completely different from the childish but lovely junior sister Duanmu.
“What happened? How could your dad and Mu family treat you like this?”
Huang Yanchen couldn’t be more heartbroken. She immediately walked toward her.
“Stay away from me.”
Mu Lingxi immediately distanced herself from Huang Yanchen.
Huang Yanchen teared up and said, “Lingxi, it’s me, your sister Chen.”
“I know you’re Huang Yanchen, but why…why did you do that to him? People change. What do you want to do to me?” Mu Lingxi asked cautiously.
Huang Yanchen kept shaking her head, speechless.
Mu Lingxi said, “Do you know what I regret the most? I shouldn’t have changed the brands of ‘Huang Number One’ and ‘Di Number One’ when Zhang Ruochen entered Dragon Wu Palace, otherwise the bond between you guys wouldn’t be that strong. Then you wouldn’t have had the chance to hurt him that deeply.”
Mu Lingxi continued, saying, “You know that he’ll never hurt you. No wonder how much I love him and want to get with him, he can always control himself.”
Huang Yanchen closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, “I’m destined to follow a different path from him, so only G.o.d knows what’ll happen in the future, but I know that he values you a lot, otherwise he wouldn’t have told everyone his ident.i.ty as the crown prince of Sacred Central Empire. He’s coming to Peakless Mountain only to save you.”
“Crown prince of Sacred Central Empire? What do you mean?”
Mu Lingxi looked confused.
Huang Yanchen then said, “Don’t you know he’s the crown prince of Sacred Central Empire?”
Mu Lingxi was a bit dazed and shook her head.
Huang Yanchen sighed. Obviously, Mu Lingxi had no idea what was going on outside her prison.
And then, Huang Yanchen told her about how Zhang Ruochen issued the crown prince edict and conquered Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, and then, she said, “Zhang Ruochen is definitely coming to Peakless Mountain tomorrow, but he’s going to be in grave danger. Unlike Lingxiao Heavenly King Mansion, Peakless Mountain is guarded by a supreme saint, and I heard that there’s a supreme saint in the Fire Tribe as well. Besides, there’ll be lots of great beings from the imperial government coming to Peakless Mountain. Once Zhang Ruochen shows himself, he’ll be encircled.”
Mu Lingxi smiled and said, “Are you asking me to talk him out of it?”
