Chapter 2429: Quarrel
As He Chong and the other Ancient True Gods were surprised by Lu Jiye's words, an unbearable pressure suddenly descended, making it difficult for them to breathe.
"Heh. You finally came back, huh?" Yue Yun's cold voice echoed as she slowly descended from the sky and landed a few meters away from Yun Lintian.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
She looked him over and continued, "I thought you would lose some legs and arms. Surprisingly, you didn't lose anything, but you've also made no progress. It seems you've been slacking off for these five years."
Yun Lintian was speechless, and he was too lazy to explain.
"We were trapped by a woman named Tantai Xue. She used the Law of Order," Hongyue spoke up.
Yue Yun's eyes flickered with coldness. "Tantai Xue? How could all of you survive?"
"You know her?" Yun Lintian asked in surprise.
Yue Yun didn't reply but continued to stare at Hongyue, waiting for her explanation. "Someone helped us. He's Jian Yun," Hongyue replied.
"Jian Yun... The Fleeting Cloud Sword Emperor Jian Yun?" Yue Yun asked in surprise.
"Yes. It's him. But this should be his true self," Hongyue said.
Yue Yun frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
Lu Jiye kept staring at Yue Yun from the moment she appeared. For some reason, he felt a sense of familiarity from her aura.
"Are you a member of the Divine Moon God Clan?" Lu Jiye asked.
Yue Yun glanced at him and said, "So what?"
"It's nothing. I've never seen you before. Your aura has far surpassed the Priestess of the Moon herself. It's too strange for me," Lu Jiye said, shaking his head.
Yue Yun raised her brow slightly and turned to Yun Lintian. "Why did you bring these useless people here?"
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said, "Although they were indeed wrong in the past, they could be given a second chance."
Yue Yun rolled her eyes. "Second chance? They deserve it?" she said sarcastically.
Yun Lintian turned to He Chong and the other Ancient True Gods. "Seniors, I am willing to trust you, but my people have different opinions. I have two choices for you. First, I can let you leave, but you must accept a brand on your soul from me. Second, you can stay here and accept a brand on your soul."
"There is a third option," Yue Yun added with a cold smile. "Death."
He Chong exchanged glances with the other Ancient True Gods, and they seemed to come to an agreement.
He looked at Yun Lintian and said, "We choose the second option."
Yue Yun narrowed her eyes. She wanted to see what kind of tricks they were going to play.
He Chong continued, "We are indeed cowards, and because of this, we have to fight in this battle. There are no other options for us to survive."
"You do have a choice - joining Fan Shen," Yue Yun said coldly.
He Chong shook his head. "Back then, our families and friends were killed by the people of the God of Heaven and the God of Mortals. It's impossible for us to join them."
He took a step forward and continued, "You can search my soul."
Yue Yun curled her lips and pointed her finger at He Chong's head. "You said it yourself. Don't
blame me."
With a flash, a streak of moonlight shot into He Chong's forehead, reaching his soul.
A moment later, Yue Yun took a deep look at him and said, "Heh. I didn't expect you to still
have some backbone."
She turned to Yun Lintian and said, "He's fine."
