Chapter 2297: Blue Moon (2)
Wang Hanyi's heart sank. Yue Lan's tone made it clear that she was also interested in Yun Lintian. This meant he, an outsider, would have to leave.
In other places, Wang Hanyi wouldn't hesitate to challenge Yue Lan. But here, he had no advantage. It would be akin to suicide.
"Since the Blue Moon God wishes to meet him, I shall take my leave," Wang Hanyi said politely, preparing to depart.
"Do you think you can leave?" Ji Xiaoman retorted coldly, her crimson blade glowing ominously.
Wang Hanyi smiled and replied, "Don't be rude, Xiaoman. We've already caused enough commotion here."
"Die!" Ji Xiaoman hissed, swinging her crimson blade towards Wang Hanyi.
The air crackled with tension as Ji Xiaoman's blade, a crimson blur, sliced through the air. Wang Hanyi's eyes narrowed. He knew he could not afford to lose his temper, not with Yue Lan watching. He raised his shimmering spear, its unholy energy pulsating with a sinister intensity.
BOOM!
The two clashed once more, their weapons intertwining in a dance of death. The air was filled with the deafening roar of their clash, the shockwaves they produced rippling through the dimension.
Ji Xiaoman, her rage a tempest that threatened to consume her, unleashed a barrage of crimson blades. Each blade was a testament to her fury, its edge honed to a razor's sharpness.
Wang Hanyi, his movements fluid and precise, parried each attack with a calculated grace. The shimmering spear in his hand, a weapon imbued with the darkness of his soul, deflected her onslaught with a chilling efficiency.
As the battle raged on, Wang Hanyi realized he could not continue. Yue Lan's presence was a constant reminder of his limitations. He needed to find a way to escape, to retreat before he was forced to reveal his true nature.
With a surge of strength, Wang Hanyi unleashed a powerful thrust, his spear piercing through Ji Xiaoman's crimson blade. The impact sent her reeling backward, her momentum broken.
Yun Lintian came back to himself and quickly replied, "It's been a long time too. Why are you here, Senior?"
"What's wrong? Can't I come here to see you?" Que Zang pretended to be angry.
"I didn't mean that," Yun Lintian shook his head and looked at Yue Lan. "This is..."
Before Que Zang and Ji Xiaoman could say anything, Yue Lan suddenly spoke up. "My name is Yue Lan. People call me the Blue Moon God."
It's really her! Yun Lintian's heart beat faster. He quickly bowed and said politely, "Junior Yun Lintian greets Senior Yue."
Yun Wushuang had also come out and bowed her head slightly. "Yun Wushuang pays her respects to the Blue Moon God."
Yue Lan was surprised when she saw Yun Wushuang. When she looked at Yun Lintian again, she realized something.
Ji Xiaoman observed Yue Lan's expression and noticed the change. She smiled faintly. It seemed Yue Lan had also noticed the oddity in Yun Wushuang's body.
However, Ji Xiaoman was curious. Even Yue Lan was completely unaware of Yun Wushuang's existence over the years. There must be something suspicious about this.
"I would like to invite you two to my place. What do you think?" Yue Lan said softly.
Her invitation startled Ji Xiaoman and Que Zang. It was the first time they saw Yue Lan personally invite someone to her place. Unlike the Red Moon God, Yue Lan preferred solitude, and no one could visit her at will.
"It's my honor," Yun Lintian responded. He wanted to confirm his conjecture, and this was a good opportunity.
Yun Wushuang naturally had no objection. She was also curious why Yue Lan suddenly wanted to invite her son to her place. Was she interested in Yun Lintian's divine beast bloodlines? However, Yun Wushuang quickly dismissed that idea. She had visited the Divine Moon City several times in the past, and Yue Lan's character was well-known. She definitely had no ulterior motive.
Yue Lan smiled and looked at Ji Xiaoman and Que Zang. "You two can come with us as well."
