Chapter 1378: Chapter 1383: Great Villain
“Have Empress Li and Weaver Star truly set their grudge aside?” Zhu Minglang asked urgently.
“Li Xuansang believes that while Red Sun may be a Dragon, its nature is pure. Like most Sword Spirits, it doesn’t inherently harbor resentnt or anger. When it erged after enduring the tornt of Purgatory, it didn’t harm the innocent, proving its sincere disposition. Later, they also confird that Red Sun actually had a master. There’s a particularly powerful contract in its soul, so Li Xuansang and Empress Li believe the one who killed Li Yin must be Red Sun’s original master. Their hatred should be directed at the killer, not at a heartless sword,” explained the Green and Red Kirin Demon.
“Huh??” Zhu Minglang froze, utterly unsettled.
So it turns out, in this legendary story, I’ve been playing the ultimate villain all along!!
I didn’t do it!!
I was still inside the cocoon!
The Sword Spirit Dragon acts on its own; the master doesn’t pay the price!
This is maddening!!
This is seriously maddening!!!
If Weaver Star learns that her disciple is her father’s killer, this beautiful master-disciple story will turn into a horror saga overnight!!
What is happening?
Why did the Sword Spirit Dragon have to kill Li Yin??
The worst part is, the Sword Spirit Dragon won’t even explain itself to !
I can’t very well march up to Weaver Star and suddenly declare in a severe tone: “Setting facts aside, how desperate must the Sword Spirit Dragon have been to kill your father?”
Stay calm, stay calm.
This matter requires careful planning.
First off, Empress Li and Weaver Star have forgiven the Sword Spirit Dragon.
But they haven’t forgiven the Dragon’s master.
Which ans, the existence of Flare must be linked to this—it’s ant to lead them to the Sword Spirit Dragon’s original master.
As soon as the Sword Spirit Dragon is summoned one day, Empress Li will follow the trail and find , the true villain behind the murder!
Good thing I’ve been cautious all along.
If I’d taken the Sword Spirit Dragon with from the start, things would’ve gone downhill fast.
Empress Li could deal with with just a flick of her finger if she wanted to get rid of .
“Do you have anything else to ask? All your questions are quite ordinary; I thought you were eyeing Empress Li’s treasures,” said the Green and Red Kirin Demon.
“You seem to know a lot. Actually, I’m not really here to ask questions, but to have a casual chat and make an interesting friend like you. If anything cos up in the future, I’ll turn to you then. By the way, your elder is turning the heavens upside down looking for you—you should send him a ssage. If he causes too much chaos, wouldn’t your painstaking efforts here go to waste?” Zhu Minglang said.
“Well… I don’t want him knowing I’m here. He despises the Human Race and forbids from serving them. He prides himself as a Kirin Demon Seed, viewing all beings with disdain. I… I just want to restore my original form,” said the Green and Red Kirin Demon.
“How about this—you give so proof you’re alive, and I’ll pass the ssage to him. But I won’t reveal your whereabouts, deal?” suggested Zhu Minglang.
“That works.” The Green and Red Kirin Demon nodded, then plucked off a fresh scale from its body and handed it over. “This just grew this month; he can recognize it. Once he sees this, he’ll know I’m still alive.”
“Alright, it’s a pleasure to et you. I wish you success in fulfilling your dream,” said Zhu Minglang.
“My na’s Wu Cun.”
“Zhu Lang.”
“Although we’re friends now, if you dare trespass, I’ll still chop off your head.”
“You’re so forthright.” Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
…
Flare cos from Empress Li—this matter is completely clear now.
But new problems have arisen, and Zhu Minglang was starting to feel another headache coming on.
First, why did the Sword Spirit Dragon kill soone as young as Li Yin, a rising Immortal King?
Second, Zhu Minglang’s relationship with the Sword Spirit Dragon absolutely cannot be exposed. If Empress Li and Weaver Star sense even a trace, he’d have no way to explain himself.
Zhu Minglang trusted that Weaver Star would be reasonable—but Empress Li was harder to gauge. When faced with overwhelming strength, it’s wiser not to hand oneself over for judgnt recklessly.
Lastly… How on earth could he obtain one drop of Empress Li’s fresh blood?
It must be fresh blood in order to remove the Flare binding on the Sword Spirit Dragon. Empress Li is undoubtedly a Solar Corona Level Jun Tian powerhouse, and among such figures, she’s extraordinarily powerful.
What’s more, she’s firmly established her status in Jun Tian. Getting her to even bleed would be no easy feat.
Sigh, saving the Sword Spirit Dragon is proving to be a nearly impossible task. With his current status and abilities, it’s like reaching for the heavens!
Returning to the waiting hall in the courtyard, Zhu Minglang saw Weaver Star approaching slowly from another side.
She glanced at Zhu Minglang and asked, “Where did you go?”
“Took a stroll—this place is rather unique,” Zhu Minglang replied.
For so reason, after knowing that story, Zhu Minglang suddenly felt an unexpected pang of guilt when he t Weaver Star’s gaze, even though her presence had never bothered him before.
It seed like becoming her disciple was his first step toward reaping karma.
“Later, take your junior sisters to the city and buy so fresh garnts. We’ll be staying here for a few days,” Weaver Star instructed.
“Oh, oh, sure,” Zhu Minglang nodded.
“Is sothing the matter?” Weaver Star noticed Zhu Minglang’s sowhat unusual expression, her sharp eyes locking onto his face.
“No… nothing, really.” Zhu Minglang couldn’t help but recall the description of Weaver Star comforting the Sword Spirit Dragon—it was vivid in his mind despite never having witnessed it.
“The Empress is very particular about etiquette and dislikes frivolity. You’re not quite yourself today; perhaps I’ll introduce you to her another ti when there’s a better opportunity,” said Weaver Star.
“Mhm, mhm…” Zhu Minglang scratched his head awkwardly.
She must think I’m harboring dissatisfaction.
To be honest, Zhu Minglang truly had no desire to et Empress Li at the present mont. While many celestial cultivators would be honored to see her, Zhu Minglang was genuinely feeling a bit faint-hearted.
…
…
Accompanying the junior sisters to buy clothes, the three seed overly excited, likely having spent too long in the cold serenity of the Immortal Palace. Finally indulging in the bustling, lively world, they treated the simple act of buying garnts like a grand spree, scooping up beautiful accessories and silks as if on a wild shopping spree.
Zhu Minglang, anwhile, focused on strategizing for his future.
Direct confrontation to remove the Flare binding seems unfeasible—especially given Empress Li’s formidable strength and influence. Besides her own imnse power, her strong ties to the Five Directions Emperor make her extrely well-supported.
Patience is key!
Wait for divine opportunity, coupled with so craftiness!
“Senior Brother, Senior Brother, why are you always staring at the girls on the street like you’ve lost your soul?” Nie Qiqi teased as she approached.
“My eyes need so place to rest,” Zhu Minglang replied.
“Oh, Empress Li is quite lovely—she’s very fond of . Moreover, Master plans to have spend more ti with her, so I can learn spells for managing Tianchen,” Nie Qiqi said.
“Really? That’s wonderful!” Zhu Minglang’s eyes lit up.
Perhaps Nie Qiqi could help advance his plans early!
From now on, Zhu Minglang decided he must watch over Nie Qiqi more closely. If she could beco a ddleso troublemaker in the Southern Heavenly Palace like him, they’d beco allies, sharing one rope of sches. In that case, Nie Qiqi could keep him inford about all of Empress Li’s daily affairs!
