Chapter 2296: Blue Moon (1)



A male voice suddenly broke the atmosphere.

Wang Hanyi raised his brow and looked toward the sky above. He narrowed his eyes as he recognized the newcomer. "Que Zang?"

The newcomer was none other than the Mad Monk Que Zang.

Ji Xiaoman seemed to wake up from a stupor and immediately realized she had fallen for Wang Hanyi's tricks earlier.

"You..." She gnashed her teeth angrily.

Que Zang drank a mouthful of wine from his wine gourd and gestured with his chin. "Go on. I won't interrupt you this time... But seriously. You should change the plot. It's too old- fashioned," he said.

Wang Hanyi's eyes flickered with a cold light. Que Zang had completely ruined his work at the critical moment. It was unacceptable.

"Are you sure you want to interfere with my business here?" Wang Hanyi asked coldly.

Que Zang spread his arms with an innocent expression. "Look. I'm here to visit my Little Brother Yun. It's just that I didn't expect to encounter a live opera, and I found it interesting to watch. You can't blame me, right?"

Although Que Zang spoke casually, his body exuded an intimidating aura. His intention was clear; he was going to interfere.

"Stop talking," Ji Xiaoman interrupted and attacked Wang Hanyi.

The air throbbed with a surge of crimson energy as Ji Xiaoman launched her attack, her form blurring into a crimson streak that pierced the darkening sky.

The crimson blade, an extension of her rage and anguish, shimmered with the malevolent glow of the Law of Slaughter, its edge humming with a deadly intent.

Wang Hanyi, his gentle facade crumbling like shattered glass, met her onslaught head-on. His eyes, once filled with tenderness, now blazed with a cold, calculating light. The white light surrounding him intensified, its purity warped and twisted as it took on a sinister hue. The once benevolent guardian now stood revealed as a manipulator, his true nature a chilling reflection of the darkness that Ji Xiaoman had embraced.

"Wang Hanyi pays his respects to the Blue Moon God. Please forgive me for causing a

commotion here," Wang Hanyi cupped his fists and said politely.

"Old Monk Que Zang greets the Blue Moon God. It's been a long time since our last encounter," Que Zang said with a smile.

Yue Lan slowly descended to the same level as everyone. Her movement was graceful and radiated with endless gentleness. Her sapphire eyes moved around briefly, and she said gently, "Welcome to our place. There seems to be some unrest recently."

Her voice was soft and extremely pleasant to hear.

Que Zang drank a mouthful of wine and laughed. "Haha. It is indeed the case. The Holy Lands have changed a lot. I can't even recognize them."

Yue Lan looked at him and said with a gentle smile, "Congratulations on your freedom."

"Many thanks," Que Zang cupped his fists. "It's all thanks to Little Brother Yun."

Wang Hanyi's heart sank upon hearing this. Clearly, Que Zang wanted to borrow Yue Lan's presence to suppress him.

Yue Lan turned to look at Ji Xiaoman and said softly, "It's been a long time, Miss Ji. My sister has been waiting for you to have a drink."

"It's my honor to accompany the Red Moon God," Ji Xiaoman responded politely. "However, please forgive me. I have something very important to do for the time being."

"Don't worry. My sister will probably come to find you later," Yue Lan smiled.

She shifted her gaze onto Wang Hanyi and asked, "May I know what business you have here, Young Master Wang?"

Wang Hanyi knew he couldn't avoid it. He cupped his fists and said, "I got news about the appearance of the divine beast bloodlines and came here to take a look. I hope you can forgive

me."

"Is that so?" Yue Lan said softly. "Everyone came here for the same person. It looks like I have to meet him."
