Chapter 485: Chapter 452 Old Friend_1

Squawk!

An azure bird with wings spanning over a dozen feet soared at breakneck speed from among the clouds, faint luminescent sparks emitting from its body, leaving behind a long azure tail in the sky like a meteor breaking the horizon, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.

Sitting on the back of this extraordinary bird were a young man and a woman. They looked to be around fifteen to sixteen years old, yet they possessed an outstanding temperament, resembling immortals from the heavens.

This young pair were none other than Xu Mu and Yue, who were en route to the Martial God Abyss in the center of the continent.

“Elder Brother Mu, will we be in danger by going there directly? What if there’s an ambush?” Yue asked, worrying.

It was likely that the Empress was the Martial God. If she was prepared in advance, she could possibly harm them.

Thinking about Xu Mu’s reaction to the portrait, Yue’s heart felt a bit sour.

Even if that woman was extremely beautiful, she shouldn’t have captured his attention just by a portrait, right?

Yue believed she was by no means inferior, and her rapid progress in strength recently had completely transformed her temperament, far surpassing that of ordinary women.

During these days, when she went out to collect resources, countless people willingly submitted to her, wishing they could follow her forever.

Some even rated her as the most beautiful woman and top female expert in the continent, and future female Martial God…

In short, she had numerous prestigious titles, too many to count.

This made her feel that no one in this world was worthy of her Elder Brother Mu, except for her.

But now, this mysterious Empress had captured Elder Brother Mu’s heart with just a portrait, causing him to drop everything and rush to see her.

This made Yue, who had secretly liked Xu Mu, feel very upset.

Now, she was waiting to see what this woman looked like and where she fell short in comparison.

“Don’t worry.”

Xu Mu spoke lightly.

Unless that person was out of her mind, she wouldn’t harm him.

Seeing Xu Mu so confident, Yue felt even more upset.

“If Elder Brother Mu says so, there must be no problem! If she dares to harm Brother Mu, I will absolutely not spare her!” Yue asserted fiercely.

Xu Mu seemed to understand her thoughts, he turned back and smiled, but said nothing.

The speed of the divine beast at the Martial Emperor level was extremely fast. Soon, they saw a gigantic, bottomless gully that seemed to lead to the underworld.

It was the Martial God Abyss, said to have been created by a peerless Martial God when he slayed a variant Martial Emperor.

As the tale passed down with time, it came to be known as the Martial God Abyss.

“We’re here. Let’s go down,” Xu Mu said as he spotted a figure standing atop a cliff from afar. The figure’s silhouette seemed vaguely familiar to him.

“Alright.”

Yue nodded, commanded the Wind Spirit Hawk they were riding a bit reluctantly, and flew towards the figure.

As they approached, the figure became increasingly clear to Yue.

Her hair flowed down like a waterfall to her waist. Her tall and slender figure was even more alluring under the black armor. An enormous bronze halberd, about a meter long, was planted in the ground, emanating a faint whiff of murderous intent.

Next to her, a Pegasus with pure white fur and wings was quietly nibbling on the grass.

Before the Wind Spirit Hawk could even settle down, Xu Mu jumped down in a hurry. Yue, too, followed eagerly.

“Lu Jingkong, it’s been many years. I trust you have been well,” Xu Mu greeted with a smile. However, his gaze was on the halberd in front of the woman.

It was his long-lost Sky-splitting Halberd!

Xu Mu had never expected that the Sky-splitting Halberd would end up in her hands.

“I didn’t expect you to be here, either.”
