Zhao Huai asked, "Do you know where she is?"
Yan Ruyu looked a bit startled.
He turned to look at Zhao Huai.
Zhao Huai felt Yan Ruyu's gaze.
He said, "What's wrong?"
"Yan Ruyu, where on earth is Xiaoning'er?"
Yan Ruyu replied, "She—she's right beside us."
As soon as he finished speaking,
A strange gust of demonic wind suddenly rose around them.
All the people present
Immediately gathered behind Yan Ruyu and Zhao Huai.
"Your Majesty, this aura?"
"Why is it so similar to the one when we dealt with Mo Yan before?"
"Wasn't Mo Yan already dead?"
"How could this be?"
Yan Ruyu always held his jade flute in his hand.
Ye Xingchen only then asked, "Where's my sister? Why can't I see my sister?"
Song Zhiyi looked rather enigmatic at this moment.
Gu Zhiruo and Dongfang Yuxi had grown up with Song Zhiyi since childhood.
Naturally, they could sense something unusual about this childhood companion.
By intuition,
They could also guess.
This matter
Should have something to do with Song Zhiyi.
"Song Zhiyi, tell us."
Song Zhiyi looked at Dongfang Yuxi and Gu Zhiruo.
Hearing this, Chu Wen and Chu Nuan
Also looked in Song Zhiyi's direction.
Song Zhiyi was already under great pressure in his heart.
When these people questioned him like this,
He became even more taciturn.
"I'm sorry."
All he could say were these three words.
He had no choice.
Although this was the first time Sister Ling had asked something of him.
Although he couldn't refuse.
However,
In his heart, he deeply regretted what he had done before.
"Song Zhiyi, where's Sister Ling? You must know where she's gone, right?"
"Song Zhiyi, why are you saying sorry? Who are you sorry for?"
"Could it be that, just like Xia Wanning, you've done something sorry to Sister Ling?"
Everyone chattered away.
Making Song Zhiyi's face turn ashen.
Xie An watched this scene and said, "If it was really him who did it, he wouldn't have stayed here."
These people were too worried and got confused.
Xie An continued, "I know something about the senior's temper. She spent some time with City Lord Song before. She should have discussed something with him. If he really did something sorry to the senior, the senior wouldn't have done that before."
"Your Majesty, about this matter?"
"This matter has nothing to do with Song Zhiyi. He should have just followed Ning'er's words."
All around,
The trees began to wither.
Even the hundreds of demonic beasts behind Zhao Huai let out whimpers of unease at this moment.
That aura
Was getting stronger and stronger.
Getting closer and closer to them.
"Could it be that Mo Yan wasn't really dead before?"
Dongfang Yuxi murmured, "So what if he's not dead? If we could kill him once together, we can surely do it again."
Xie An said, "This aura is strange yet familiar."
Gu Zhiruo said, "No matter who's coming, after we kill it, we'll go look for Sister Ling together."
Everyone mustered their courage.
Getting ready.
To face the upcoming terrifying aura.
This aura
Was so powerful that it made people tremble.
"Your Majesty, do you know who's coming this time?"
Yan Ruyu lowered his eyes.
Zhao Huai remained silent.
After a moment,
A cold yet gentle voice came.
"The one coming this time should be the real demonic star."
"Demonic star?"
"Does the demonic star really exist?"
"What's the power of this demonic star like? Is the demonic star really not Mo Yan?"
"Mo Yan is already dead. The demonic star is indeed not Mo Yan."
"How does the power of the demonic star compare to Mo Yan's?"
Zhao Huai looked at everyone and shook his head.
Everyone was confused.
"Honorable One, what do you mean?"
"If this demonic star wants to destroy the world, it may not be difficult. Not to mention you all, even if you add me and Yan Ruyu, we may not be her match."
"How is that possible?"
"There can't be such a being in the world."
"Your Majesty, say something. If you say so, we'll believe it."
Yan Ruyu turned around.
"We are indeed no match for her."
Regardless of strength,
Based on Yan Ruyu's understanding of everyone present, none of them would ever make a move against Ning'er.
Even if
Ning'er really did something to destroy the world.
Even if
Ning'er really killed them all.
Perhaps,
In their hearts,
They wouldn't bear the slightest bit of resentment towards Ning'er.
"No matter who she is, since she's the demonic star, she must be a scourge. As cultivators, we definitely can't ignore this."
Yan Ruyu didn't look happy.
He was already displeased with Ye Xingrui's words.
"Shouldn't the demonic star be eliminated?"
Xie An spoke up.
Yan Ruyu said, "The demonic star endangers the Kyushu Continent. She is truly unforgivable."
At this moment,
There were still countless cultivators
Rushing towards the capital of the Eastern Continent.
"Let's go to the Divine Mountain of the Eastern Continent first. This aura is heading in that direction."
Yan Ruyu and Zhao Huai exchanged a glance.
Both of them quickly flew away from the Eastern Continent's royal palace.
Seeing this, the others
Hastily followed.
When Yan Ruyu and Zhao Huai arrived at the Divine Mountain of the Eastern Continent, the scene before them shocked them.
On this divine mountain,
There were tens of thousands of cultivators.
In their hands,
Each held a secret letter.
The time when the secret letters were opened
Was seven hours ago.
At that time,
It was when Zhao Shuning sneaked into the Eastern Continent's royal palace.
"Who is it?"
"Who managed to gather so many people?"
On the towering Divine Mountain of the Eastern Continent, it was filled with dense groups of spiritual herb masters and alchemists.
There was anxiety on their faces.
When they saw Yan Ruyu coming,
Relief appeared on their faces.
The dense heads all lowered.
They knelt on both knees.
To welcome the millennium imperial teacher, Yan Ruyu.
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Huai looked at Yan Ruyu in confusion.
Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, also puzzled.
"Your Majesty, you've finally come."
"Your Majesty, as soon as we received the secret letter you sent, we used the fastest flying beasts in our clan to rush to the Divine Mountain of the Eastern Continent. We were afraid of missing the time."
"Your Majesty, is what you said in the letter true?"
"Will the demonic star really be born today?"
"Can we really seal the demonic star completely by combining our strength?"
"Your Majesty—"
"Your Majesty—"
Countless questions were thrown at them.
Zhao Huai frowned.
"Did you tell them to come? Yan Ruyu, you're such a hypocrite. On one hand, you said you wanted to protect Xiaoning'er, but on the other hand, you mobilized so much power to come to the Divine Mountain of the Eastern Continent. You want to use the power of all the cultivators to strangle her in the cradle, don't you?"
Yan Ruyu remained silent.
He took the letter from the person in front of him.
Held it in front of his eyes.
Just one glance,
He understood.
"It was Ning'er who sent the secret letter."
Zhao Huai was startled.
"Xiaoning'er?"
Yan Ruyu gave the secret letter to Zhao Huai.
Zhao Huai took it.
The secret letter
Although it was in Yan Ruyu's handwriting,
But every stroke
Had the writing habits of Xiaoning'er.
Zhao Shuning had grown up with Zhao Huai since childhood, and her calligraphy had also been guided by Zhao Huai.
So upon closer inspection,
Zhao Huai noticed the difference.
"That girl Xiaoning'er is really asking for trouble!"
Zhao Huai was extremely angry.
The secret letter then burned and disappeared.
"Why would Xiaoning'er write such a letter? Did she glimpse the secrets of heaven in advance?"
