Chapter 592: Moon Sword Goddess

As Yun Xiao and Cao Shuo were about to have their final exchange, a host of Thunder Emissaries descended from the sky like beams of divine light, arriving above the Floral Sea Palace.

"Who is Cao Shuo clashing with? That sound, there seems to be a hint of disadvantage."

After Gu Zhenxiao arrived, he did not pause for a moment. With a press of his hand, the palace was smashed apart, all its eaves and stones pulverizing into dust.

"The Supreme General has arrived, cease your actions!" Cao Sheng bellowed, his voice resonating in all directions.

As his voice dispelled the dust, the scene revealed itself!

On the shattered grounds of the palace, two pale figures were locked in a fierce battle, their struggle cracking the ground like a web. At this life-and-death moment, they were both at their peak, too engrossed to heed the newcomers.

"Y-YOU TWO!!!!" At this sight, Cao Sheng felt a rush of blood to the heart, nearly spewing blood from his mouth.

The other Thunder Emissaries, as if struck by lightning, floated like kites in the sky, their eyes wide as saucers.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

"Supreme General..." Sweat pouring, Cao Sheng twisted his stiff neck to look towards Gu Zhenxiao.

The Supreme General's eyes were bloodshot, his face seemingly aged years, his mouth slightly open, his teeth and tongue trembling...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! His white hair exploded, with platinum lightning snaking through it, endless storm clouds gathering above.

His rage was immense, perhaps only Cao Sheng could understand. But still, why did they not stop?

Cao Sheng's scalp numbed, unable to tolerate it any longer, he bellowed as if possessed, "Stop, don't you two have any sense of decency!?"

His shout, rather than calming, made the combatants tremble with shock!

Yun Xiao, lost in the thrill of the fight, only realized then that others had arrived. He quickly withdrew from the fray, straightening his Arbiter armor and easing out of his battle fervor.

The fight was over!

Of course, Cao Shuo reacted quicker, her figure shrouded in violet lightning, had been at a disadvantage but not greatly exposed. Now clad in her Arbiter armor, she was immediately protected.

However, she was clearly exhausted, her face deeply flushed from exertion and she was panting heavily.

Her legs seemed to be bruised; she couldn't stand at all and had to sit on the ground, staring blankly at the Thunder Emissaries, her voice hoarse, "You... why are all of you here?"

"Lu Yao greets all the Immortals," Yun Xiao said, shaking his foggy head, gradually regaining his composure.

Above, a deathly silence reigned!

The high officials of the Thunder Department looked at them in disarray!

The scandal that occurred back at the Hall of Sword Suppression had spread, and everyone knew about the illicit affair of these two.

Yet, none of them had expected that these two would be going at it like this!

Those among the Thunder Emissaries who understood the Supreme General knew that their struggle had pierced his heart like a thousand swords!

What to do? Cao Sheng took a deep breath, his gaze cold as he glanced at Yun Xiao.

BUZZ! The silver sword light transformed into a woman cloaked in a robe of sword energy!

Her presence was marked by a sword intent so terrifying it chilled the bone!

Yun Xiao, peering through the electric net, caught only a glimpse of the woman. She had hair silver as a cascading waterfall, her form enveloped in a voluminous robe of gleaming silver, her skin alight with the flow of sword light, appearing utterly radiant.

This was Cao Shuo's senior sister from the Immortal Sword Court.

The Moon Sword Goddess!

She held the rank of a proper Rank 2 Heavenly Officer, equivalent to a Stellar Margrave and on par with Gu Zhenxiao!

At last, the Moon Sword Goddess had arrived!

It was during the struggle with Cao Shuo that Yun Xiao informed her, “Notify your people at the Immortal Sword Court to rescue me, or I’m leaving right now.”

In such a moment, how could Cao Shuo let him leave?

She would pluck stars and the moon from the skies for him if needed.

And now, upon her arrival, the Moon Sword Goddess glanced at Yun Xiao.

She had long known of this youth's feat of causing the Sword Suppression Gate to form seven rings.

Now seeing him, she noted his handsome, ethereal bearing, more reminiscent of a Sword Immortal than an Arbiter!

The scramble for talents among the various departments of the Celestial Court was a common affair.

“Even if the True Martial Sword Immortal himself were here, he couldn’t interfere with the Thunder Department’s proceedings! Arrest them all!” Gu Zhenxiao declared coldly.

But the Moon Sword Goddess, with a chilling tone, countered, “Even the Thunder Department cannot touch my direct disciple without any evidence.”

At this declaration, even Cao Sheng was stunned.

This was a challenge to the death against the Supreme General!

"Have you come to snatch people right from under the Thunder Department?" Gu Zhenxiao's eyes flashed with thunderous fury, fixating on the Moon Sword Goddess.

"A sword talent defying heaven, if the Thunder Department doesn't want him, I do," the Moon Sword Goddess said calmly.

The air turned dead silent!

Lightning and sword intent clashed at this very spot.

Suddenly, Yun Xiao smiled and spoke to Cao Sheng, who was close at hand, "Father, would you mind opening the net? It’s interfering with my initiation as a disciple."
