Chapter 185: Lian Xing Arrested, A Scene of Depravity!!
Piercing Moon Lance!!!
“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—” Under the incredulous gazes of the Cloud Mirror City residents, City Lord Yun Jing’s body was riddled with golden light spears, the relentless barrage like a furious storm. Her body, battered and broken, was like…soft mud…
And the attacker’s speed was too fast, even faster than dart-type Weapon Species, the source of the attack impossible to pinpoint.
“Does Snow Flower have a helper?”
“Or are they just trying to prevent me from capturing it…?”
“The attack power isn’t Sovereign-Tier, just barely enough to pierce my flesh, not even breaking through my Viral Space.”
“Should I ignore this and chase after Snow Flower?”
“No, if they attack the airships at this speed, no one can defend them. They’re using the airships as hostages…!!!” As City Lord Yun Jing pondered, her body, riddled with wounds, began to fall from the sky, the attack relentless. It was too late to stop her descent. The Emperor-Tier pet beasts on the airships watched helplessly.
And in the next second, the white figure on one of the airship decks intensified its attack, thousands of petal-like ears spreading out like a peacock’s tail, then snapping forward.
Six Ears Fully Unleashed · Piercing Moon Lance!!!
“Boom!!!!”
Nearly ten thousand beams of light erupted, instantly obliterating City Lord Yun Jing’s body. The powerful recoil shattered the deck beneath the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon and Lian Xing, the airship tilting precariously, the deafening explosion knocking out several Monarch-Tier Beast Tamers.
Lian Xing’s buns came undone, and she looked around at the ruined airship, her expression blank.
I went too far!!!
That attack almost destroyed the airship!!!
Now they’ll know it was me…
Lian Xing quickly recalled the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon and ran inside.
In the next second—
“Crash!!!”
A prism-shaped crystal landed on the ruined deck, Pet Essence swirling around it, forming a beautiful body.
City Lord Yun Jing, before even fully reforming, had sent her crystal to find the attacker. Unlike other Viral Species, she usually only used her Viral Space to protect her crystal, her physical body just a disposable shell…
This clearly indicated that she specialized in wars of attrition, preferring to test her opponents first.
“I can’t go after Snow Flower yet. I have to find the one who attacked me on this airship, or the rest of the fleet will be destroyed.” City Lord Yun Jing’s expression was grim. She had almost captured Snow Flower, but this unknown attacker had interfered.
She had to find them, within ten seconds.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—” City Lord Yun Jing’s figure blurred, teleporting from the deck to the cockpit, memorizing the passengers’ expressions along the way. Finding nothing unusual, she looked at the Monarch-Tier attendants.
“Where’s your Emperor-Tier captain!?”
“The Captain had a last-minute repair and couldn’t make it. I’m Xing Nu, her assistant, filling in,” the beautiful golden-haired girl with starry eyes replied, her voice trembling, her nervousness evident, under the Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor’s oppressive aura.
City Lord Yun Jing sighed.
A Royal-Tier Beast Tamer…
This wasn’t a lead…
Unless it was one of the three special evolution types, it couldn’t possibly break through her defenses.
It seemed the attacker had already left the airship.
“Whoosh!” City Lord Yun Jing vanished, reappearing at the front of the fleet, ordering them to resume their pursuit of Snow Flower. Although they had lost about three minutes, Snow Flower had no means of transportation and couldn’t have gone far. They would catch up soon.
But City Lord Yun Jing still felt uneasy.
The hidden enemy hadn’t revealed itself. Could it be someone from the Three Saints Palace? If Qianqiu of the Three Saints Palace had simulated the situation, it would know how to counter her with minimal force. Perhaps the Three Saints Palace’s disciples were already waiting for Snow Flower at the edge of the Cloud Mist Sea.
She couldn’t let Snow Flower escape!
Meanwhile, Lian Xing, like a real assistant, sat in the cockpit, casually examining her jewelry, her bare, white leg dangling playfully. She fiddled with the white deer ring and sent a few tentative messages.
[Mother, you said you wanted to bring Snow Flower to the new world. What are you planning to do with it?]
[Do I need to help the Cloud Mist Sea capture it?]
“…”
“…”
[Little Star, do you want to contract with Snow Flower?] The ring flickered.
[No, no, of course not. I’m saving my contract slots for you and Little Moonwalker. I’m just curious~~~]
[The beings in the Cloud Mist Sea probably can’t contract with Snow Flower. Their compatibility is too low. Do as you wish. I’m only responsible for bringing Snow Flower out of that bubble world. Its fate is up to you.]
[Alright, then I’ll deal with Snow Flower as I see fit. Thank you, Mother~~~] Seeing the Moonwalker Mother’s reply, Lian Xing relaxed.
It seemed the Sanctuary Guardians’ positions were secure. The Mother didn’t need Snow Flower to increase her power.
In that case, she could do as she pleased~~~
She would release Snow Flower from the Cloud Mist Sea!!
Lian Xing’s plan was selfish…
She couldn’t contract with Snow Flower because her slots were full, but she didn’t want anyone else to have it either. She would wait until Moonlight Rabbit reached Monarch-Tier.
And if Snow Flower also reached Monarch-Tier during this time, and remained uncontracted, even better. Then, with her two main forces at Monarch-Tier, even a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor wouldn’t be a match for her~~~
With that decided, Lian Xing opened her messaging app and randomly accepted a friend request that included some… lewd comments.
“Are you there?”
“Yes, yes, yes! What can I do for you, Star Concubine? Have you finally agreed to let me wash your feet with a Monarch-Tier crystal?” Lover’s consort replied instantly, ecstatic.
Lover’s communication channel was exploding. This consort was the second, after Jade Lady, to befriend Lian Xing.
“Is there a place in this world that accepts wild Legends? Like the Seven Heavens in our world, where they can live freely without a contract?” Lian Xing asked directly.
“Star Concubine, you’ve come to the right place! Our Three Saints Palace is exactly like that! Besides the Three Saints, we also have two other Legends as guests, strictly protected from any Beast Tamer harassment, free to roam as they please!!!”
Three Saints Palace…? Lian Xing pondered.
So, the Three Saints Palace, besides not maintaining order, was essentially the same as the Seven Heavens in her old world. Even uncontracted wild pet beasts were treated with respect.
In fact, the Beast Tamer Alliance was like a simplified version of the Three Saints Palace.
Unlike Youyou Leize, Worry-Free Pond, and the Dominating Cauldron Palace, where pet beasts had to be contracted to achieve a high status…
In that case, she would let the Three Saints Palace take care of Snow Flower for now…
“Snow Flower is about to leave the Cloud Mist Sea. Send someone to pick it up immediately—”
Lian Xing sent the message, then hung up.
And at the same time, Lover’s consort channel fell silent.
The reason Lian Xing had chosen the Three Saints Palace was simple. The thousands of cities in the Cloud Mist Sea were disorganized, each one acting independently. Without the Moonwalker Mother’s command, they were just a rabble…
But the Three Saints Palace was directly controlled by three high-ranking Legends. Even if their forces were scattered, they would only be divided into three groups.
And if the Three Saints Palace acted, a single Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor wouldn’t be a match for them.
Meanwhile, as Lian Xing communicated with Lover’s consort, Cloud Mirror City’s fleet caught up to Snow Flower again.
But before City Lord Yun Jing could even attack, the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, waiting on another airship’s deck, blasted her shield, then instantly returned to Lian Xing.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—” City Lord Yun Jing, enraged, frantically searched the nearby airships, then stopped, panting, her body trembling, her face red.
The second interruption had angered her even more.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t find Lian Xing. The Eight-Star Bewitching Moon, now a married pet beast, its range was vast, it could be waiting on any of the airships.
And even if it was caught, Lian Xing could just recall it.
So, as Cloud Mirror City’s fleet continued its pursuit, Lian Xing continued her harassment. After twenty or thirty such attacks, City Lord Yun Jing, her hair disheveled, sat on the deck, her eyes dull and lifeless.
However, just as Lian Xing thought she had given up, City Lord Yun Jing stood up, took out a mirror, and began fixing her hair. A few seconds later, she glanced coldly at the surrounding airships, then, stepping into the air, pulled down a transparent, crystalline mirror.
Seeing this, Lian Xing’s expression changed drastically.
In the mirror, the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s movements were perfectly replayed, its attack and its teleportation back to Lian Xing clearly visible.
As the Eight-Star Bewitching Moon’s actions were exposed, City Lord Yun Jing looked at Lian Xing’s airship, her expression cold.
“So that’s your trick. I let you play with me long enough…”
“A Royal-Tier pet beast?”
“Indeed…unexpected…”
“A Royal-Tier pet beast capable of injuring a Ten Thousand Level Great Emperor? Although unbelievable, it’s not uncommon in the Moon Soul World. Such monsters appear every few centuries…” As City Lord Yun Jing’s cold words echoed…
Lian Xing, sitting inside the airship, felt a chill.
“Boom!!!!” In the next second, her airship exploded. City Lord Yun Jing, in that instant, had used her mirror to save the other passengers, leaving only Lian Xing, who was sent tumbling through the air, landing amidst the other airships.
At this moment, the black-haired girl who had been Lian Xing’s travel companion earlier, seeing the golden-haired girl’s face, her eyes widened in surprise. The other passengers also stared at the girl in the attendant’s uniform.
And then, under everyone’s gaze, City Lord Yun Jing, her aura terrifying, appeared before Lian Xing.
“Which region are you from?”
“Why are you interfering with my capture of Snow Flower?”
“…”
“…”
Lian Xing lowered her head, remaining silent for a while, like a child who had done something wrong.
But then, she slowly raised her head, her starry eyes meeting City Lord Yun Jing’s gaze.
“I don’t need to answer that question—”
“Because I’m stronger than you.”
