Chapter 303 - What A Monster! (1/2)

In the saint palace located in the Fiery Capital, an old lady sat there with her eyes closed. This old lady was Xiao Yuan, the magnate Qi Practitioner from the Xiao Mang Celestial Race and it was her that controlled her moon from afar to kill Zhong Yue.

That lunar artifact looked like a moon, but in truth, it was just a mirror that went by the name of Bright Moon Mirror.

As her psyche surged all over the mirror, it would expand and turn into a moon, but when Xiao Yuan retracted her psyche, the moon will turn back to a mirror.

What the two Xiao Mang Celestial Race's Qi Practitioners did was bring the mirror to the place where Zhong Yue was last seen and slightly activated it. The one who was still in charge of the mirror was still Xiao Yuan.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuan flinched for a while, and she was in disbelief, for the bond between her and the Bright Moon Mirror had vanished without a sign!

The mirror was a soul weapon that she had been cultivating for her entire life, it was made from the core of the moon, and the bond between them was stronger than anything else in the world!

With the rarity and the value of the moon core, she was only able to procure a tiny piece of it. And that was only with the support of her status as a west celestial temple elder priest and the life-long effort she spent on trying to get it. The pain she felt after her Bright Moon Mirror was stolen from her could be imagined! She did not want to believe it, but what was done was done. The bond between them vanished just like that, and she couldn't even react in time!

"My Bright Moon Mirror!"

Xiao Yuan cried loudly and got up. She left the Fiery Saint Palace and charged towards the direction where her mirror went missing.

Who did this? Must be that Zhong Yue brat! Before the Bright Moon Mirror disappeared, I faintly saw an unlit lamp. It must be his doing! My precious treasures are not to be tainted by your dirty hands! If you want it, you will have to exchange for it with your life!

One day later,she had arrived at the spot and turned into a three-headed Pan Ao with white fur. She then sniffed the area that Zhong Yue fought with the Qi Practitioners and proceeded to chase after Zhong Yue through the traces he left behind.

However, at this rate, she couldn't care less as she desperately wanted to kill Zhong Yue and retrieve her soul weapon back.

And at the same time, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were running as fast as they could without holding back, and after about a day of sprinting, they were extremely exhausted that they could barely move anymore. It was then they saw the connecting point between the Great Wilderness and the West Barren.

Because of the help from Zuo Xiangsheng and Tian Yanzong, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er did not take the West Barren path. Instead, they took a detour back to the Great Wilderness and now, they were right in front where the borders of the Great Wilderness and West Barren met.

There were neither outposts nor fortresses here, which meant that they would enter the Great Wilderness after passing through the mountains in front of them.

"We are finally back at the Great Wilderness, these few days have been hellish, but we can now finally relax…."

Qiu Jin'er and Zhong Yue both let out a breath of relief, and they looked at each other as they smiled. Hand in hand, they then entered the mountains.

Shortly after that, they felt a horrendous Qi gushed towards them from behind. Qiu Jin'er's face turned pale in an instant while Zhong Yue said, "Xiao Yuan dare not enter the Great Wilderness. With everything going on right now, the Swords Gate will kill her for sure if she dares to step a foot into our territory. After all, she was one of the culprits that caused the "death" of Elder Shui."

Qiu Jin'er felt slightly relieved, and she completely calmed down after she saw an entirely white three-headed Pan Ao standing up and roaring angrily from the top of a mountain somewhere far behind them. It seemed reluctant to continue chasing them.

In truth, everything was exactly as Zhong Yue said; Xiao Yuan did not dare even to step foot into the Great Wilderness!

If she entered the Great Wilderness at this time, she was bound to face the Swords Gate's fiercest attacks since she was one of those responsible for Shui Zian's death.

"Senior martial brother, what is the thing you stole from her?"

As she looked at Xiao Yuan who was staring at them fiercely, Qiu Jin'er asked curiously, "What is this thing that is so precious to her that she is willing to risk her life by entering the Great Wilderness to chase after us."

"What can it be other than the moon artifact she used to attack us?"

Zhong Yue smiled and said as he took out the weathered bronze lamp, "In my lamp, there is another godly item with power way stronger than Xiao Yuan's artifact. I presume that not long after I put it into the lamp, it will be crushed by the godly item inside. Huh?"

He opened up the cover of the lamp, and he was surprised when he saw the moon artifact floating somewhere not far away from the Divine Wing Saber, unscathed and unharmed even after such a long time!

And this was basically impossible for the power of the Divine Wing Saber was far stronger than the soul weapons cultivated by Xiao Yuan, even if she was the magnate Qi Practitioner of her race. But now, to Zhong Yue's surprise, not only the mirror did not shatter under the immense power of the Divine Wing Blade, but it even remained in perfect condition!

"This does not look like a moon, but a mirror." said a surprised Qiu Jin'er after she examined the artifact.

I remember that when I stole this soul weapon away, it was still a moon. Could it be that it has already been destroyed by the Divine Wing Saber, which made it look like this… The materials used to craft this soul weapon seem to be weird….

As someone who did not know this soul weapon's true form, Zhong Yue felt surprised and thought, I thought the saber would crush it, but now it seems like the materials used by Xiao Yuan were something incredible to allow it to survive under the saber's power. Xiao Yuan's markings on the soul weapon, however, should have been erased by the saber. If I can get this soul weapon out from the lamp, I can easily make it mine and use it freely. The question now is, how am I supposed to get it out from the lamp….

Zhong Yue was deeply troubled by this matter. His psyche wasn't able to stand up to the pressure of the Divine Wing Saber if he were to enter the lamp; removing the lunar artifact from the lamp was going to be quite tricky.

I might be able to retrieve the lunar artifact from the lamp if I used the Golden Peng Sword, but I have no idea if the power of the saber has completely disintegrated Xiao Yuan's markings. If not, then both of us will be killed in an instant if I took it out from the lamp, I should wait for a while more.

Then, he led Qiu Jin'er to the Great Wilderness, but Qiu Jin'er was confused as he did not head straight towards the Swords Gate but to somewhere else.
