"Your Majesty, who is this?" Dongfang Yuxi was the first to inquire about the identity of the person who had just appeared.
"Fiend Star."
Just two short words.
But in an instant, it struck the group like a thunderbolt.
Fiend Star?
Why did she look exactly like Sister Ling?
Those with such questions were not limited to him alone.
"Sister must have fallen victim to this Fiend Star," Ye Xingchen's eyes seethed with hatred.
Xie An grabbed Ye Xingchen.
Ye Xingchen roared, "Are you trying to stop me?"
Xie An shook his head.
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Ye Xingchen.
"I'll go with you."
The two locked eyes, and they could both sense the genuine emotion in each other's gazes.
Song Zhiyi was relatively clear - headed. Due to his own circumstances, he understood some of the ins and outs.
He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't finished speaking, right?"
Yan Ruyu nodded.
Ye Xingchen and the others all turned their eyes to Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu's pupils constricted slightly.
But he still didn't say a word.
It was Zhao Huai who broke the silence.
"She is indeed the Fiend Star, but she is also little Ning'er."
"Your Honor, what... what do you mean?"
Zhao Huai said, "The Fiend Star is little Ning'er."
Everyone took a step back in disbelief.
They all asked in unison, "Then can she recognize us?"
Zhao Huai shook his head.
He didn't know either.
"The power of this Fiend Star is extremely powerful. I don't know if little Ning'er's consciousness can still be retained. In other words, she may no longer be the little Ning'er you all knew."
"There's finally someone who understands," a woman's voice drifted down from the sky.
She twirled her hair with the tip of her right index finger.
She tilted her head slightly and looked at Zhao Huai.
Zhao Huai initially wanted to meet her gaze directly, but in the end, he didn't have the courage.
"Are you the Beast Supreme?"
Zhao Huai straightened up and said, "So what?"
The woman exhaled softly and let out a coquettish laugh, looking extremely alluring.
"I didn't know that a beast from the Beast Realm like you would ever stoop to mingle with these mere mortals. Aren't you afraid of tainting your own bloodline?"
Zhao Huai found her tone sarcastic.
If the person in front of him were just a shadow or had a different appearance, and didn't carry little Ning'er's aura, he would surely have attacked in a fit of anger.
But this Fiend Star was also little Ning'er.
Facing such a person, no matter how angry Zhao Huai was, he couldn't bring himself to lash out.
"Feng Buran, the Imperial Tutor for a thousand years, you're the same. Zhao Huai, Feng Buran, why don't you two join hands with me? Not only the Nine Provinces Continent, but even ruling the Three Realms would be within our reach."
After Zhao Shuning's appearance and these words, everyone was now certain.
This person was indeed the Fiend Star mentioned in the secret letter. There was no mistake.
Just now, why did the two honored ones deceive them?
They were puzzled.
Although they didn't dare to ask, their determination to eliminate the Fiend Star remained unwavering.
"Your Honor, this..."
"The Fiend Star must be eliminated by all means."
"Everyone, follow me and clear the way for His Majesty."
On the Divine Mountain, everyone was full of fighting spirit.
Yan Ruyu and Zhao Huai remained silent.
In the sky above, Zhao Shuning smiled slightly and sneered, "You think you can do it?"
With just a wave of her hand, the spiritual pharmacists at the front were sent flying dozens of meters backward.
Fortunately, although their bodies were severely injured after being sent flying, their lives were spared.
Zhao Shuning's attack made most of the people present even more determined to eliminate the Fiend Star.
Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes were ablaze with determination.
The world of cultivation existed to uphold justice.
They were filled with passion and had no intention of retreating at this moment.
"Your Majesty, why have you remained silent all this time? Do you really want to watch this Fiend Star wipe us all out?"
"She means no harm," Yan Ruyu's words instantly stirred up the crowd's anger.
"No harm? Didn't Your Majesty see what just happened? With a single move, she injured dozens of us, and their wounds are not light."
Yan Ruyu looked at the speaker, a young man full of vigor.
There was hatred for evil in his eyes, as well as an accusation against Yan Ruyu, the Imperial Tutor for a thousand years.
Yan Ruyu's gaze was extremely cold.
After looking at the young man, the young man's arrogance was immediately subdued.
Although the young man's attitude was tough, his words were reasonable.
The tens of thousands of people on this Eastern Continent's Divine Mountain were waiting for an explanation from Yan Ruyu.
"Your Majesty, even if there's no chance for us to return from this Divine Mountain this time, even if we have to exhaust all our strength, we must slay this Fiend Star."
"Your Majesty, we all have families behind us."
"We hope Your Majesty can understand our hardships. Such a scourge must not be released."
"Since we can't get out of this sealing formation, this Fiend Star must not be allowed to escape either."
"Otherwise, all living beings will suffer. Our children, our parents, and our families will all become sacrifices to this Fiend Star."
These words kept reaching Yan Ruyu's ears, making Zhao Huai feel a bit annoyed.
But Zhao Huai knew that at this moment, Yan Ruyu must be extremely conflicted.
On one hand was the woman he loved.
On the other hand were all sentient beings.
Yan Ruyu just looked at the woman in the sky.
There were emotions in his eyes that no one could understand.
But for some reason, the woman in the sky only took a quick glance at Yan Ruyu and then quickly averted her gaze.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Buran.
I'm sorry, brother.
I'm sorry to everyone in this world who cares about me.
This is the only thing I can do for you.
Inside her body, the power of the Millennium Stone Soul was stirring restlessly.
Although Zhao Shuning's face remained calm, her body was engaged in a fierce confrontation with the Millennium Stone Soul.
At this moment, she couldn't afford to be distracted.
"You little rascal, how dare you deceive me! Is this the so - called humanity you were talking about?"
"Deception is common in war."
"Little thing, do you think you're that powerful? How long can you hold me back? An hour? Two hours? Once my power takes control of this body, I'll surely wipe out your main soul."
Zhao Shuning smiled.
"An hour? Even an hour is enough."
"What are you going to do?"
"Stone Soul, you're so smart. You should have guessed when I voluntarily took back control of this body."
"You want to die?"
The tone of the Millennium Stone Soul was filled with horror.
"Little thing, life is precious. It's not worth it for those baseless emotions."
"Whether it's worth it or not is up to me."
"I can make you the most precious person on the Nine Provinces Continent, no, even in the Four Seas and Eight Deserts, and the Three Realms. Are you really going to turn down such power?"
Zhao Shuning looked at Yan Ruyu on the ground.
Unconsciously, a hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.
She said, "I don't want it."
She had never craved these things.
