Chapter 58: See the dragon at the end of Longyuan, and the dragon slaying begins!
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Above Junlin Hall, specks of blood flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes as he scanned everyone present. Mu Lingxi's command echoed in his mind, and a terrifying, substantial killing intent blazed around him like crimson flames.
The people in the hall were his subjects, his daughter, and his wife. Yet at this moment, there was no pity or hesitation in his eyes.
As if possessed, his emotions became increasingly uncontrollable, as if he would strike down everyone present in the next second.
"Your Majesty!"
"What's wrong with you?"
The Ten Great Divine Generals looked at Wu Yuan in horror. The man before them was indeed their Emperor, but at this moment, they felt he was utterly unfamiliar.
"Father!"
Wu Yao cried out, trying to make Wu Yuan sober up. However, the current Wu Yuan was no longer the doting father he once was.
"Love Gu!"
"The poison of the Love Gu!"
"Mu Lingxi planted the Love Gu on Wu Yuan!"
Heavenly Secret Master saw through the mystery at a glance.
"Will the future me... also become like this?"
Mu Li stared blankly at the scene, her throat bobbing. The light in her beautiful eyes grew dimmer.
"These master and disciple, they're truly something!"
Ning Ye shook his head, having already arrived in front of Wu Yuan. He hadn't expected that not only Mu Li possessed the Charm Spirit Saint Body, but Mu Lingxi also possessed it.
One had successfully manipulated Emperor Jun Lin, and the other still wanted to manipulate him.
"Kill!"
Wu Yuan's gaze finally settled on Ning Ye. The powerful aura of a Sacred Realm Peak instantly erupted, and a bronze spear pointed directly at Ning Ye's head.
"Heavenly Prohibition, open!"
A shocking Chaos light flashed in Ning Ye's eyes. His target at this moment was not Wu Yuan, but the Crimson Blood Heavenly Dragon, so he did not wish to entangle with him.
Just as he was about to dodge this blow from the Martial Emperor, a graceful figure appeared out of thin air in front of Ning Ye. She extended her jade hand and flicked her finger.
Clang!
A deafening metallic clang echoed.
Wu Yuan and Jun Qianyue both retreated several steps.
At this moment, Wu Yuan looked at Jun Qianyue with a different gaze.
"Jun Qianyue!"
"After so many years, you've actually reached this stage!"
Heh heh!
Jun Qianyue chuckled, ignoring Wu Yuan. Instead, she reminded Ning Ye indifferently, "Ning Ye!"
"Don't die!"
"You too!"
Ning Ye returned the remark to Jun Qianyue. He then used the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Demon, transforming into a streak of light, and left Junlin Hall.
He headed straight for the Forbidden Land behind the imperial palace.
This time, Wu Yuan did not stop Ning Ye; in fact, he couldn't stop him.
Moreover, at this moment, his eyes seemed to hold only Jun Qianyue, because he knew that if he couldn't kill her, a bloody massacre of the imperial palace would be impossible. He wouldn't be able to complete Mu Lingxi's command.
Most importantly, he knew that Jun Qianyue was the person Mu Lingxi most wanted to kill!
After Ning Ye left, Jun Qianyue stretched lazily. She casually spoke to everyone in Junlin Hall, "Everyone!"
"You can leave!"
Hearing this, Heavenly Secret Master frowned and kindly offered, "Miss Jun."
"This Heavenly Secret Master can help!"
"No need!"
Jun Qianyue shook her head, directly refusing Heavenly Secret Master.
"So be it!"
"Please take care, Miss Jun!"
Heavenly Secret Master sighed, then silently walked out of Junlin Hall.
With Heavenly Secret Master's departure, the officials in the hall bowed to Jun Qianyue one by one. Then, they frantically fled Junlin Hall.
After all, they weren't fools. In this situation, if they didn't flee, they would truly die!
"Mother!"
"Let's go first!"
Wu Yao bit her red lips, took Yun Jin's hand, and whispered.
"Mm!"
Yun Jin took one last look at Wu Yuan, shook her head in despair, and left Junlin Hall with Wu Yao.
It's worth mentioning that just as Mu Li left the hall, preparing to escape the troublesome Capital, an old man intercepted her.
"Old Man Ye, what is the meaning of this?"
Mu Li gritted her silver teeth and asked in a low voice.
"Your Highness the Crown Princess."
"Miss Jun said."
"Without her command, you cannot leave the Capital!"
Old Man Ye shook his head.
"Let's go!"
"Your Highness the Crown Princess, how about coming back to Divine Strategy Military Prefecture with us for a cup of tea?"
Qianye stood beside Old Man Ye and extended an irresistible invitation to Mu Li with a slight smile.
"Jun Qianyue!"
"Ning Ye!"
"These two bastards are a perfect match!"
Mu Li's chest heaved violently, her emotions fluctuating intensely.
With her strength, dealing with Qianye was fine, but dealing with Old Man Ye, who had reached the Sacred Realm, was clearly not enough.
After everyone left, only Jun Qianyue and Wu Yuan remained in the vast Junlin Hall.
"Twenty-four years old!"
"Sacred Realm Peak!"
"It seems the entire Nine Heavens Continent underestimated you!"
"Even compared to her... you are not weak!"
Wu Yuan looked at Jun Qianyue quietly and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty!"
"Today, you will die!"
"Then, this Young Lady will know the whole truth about her!"
Jun Qianyue, with her hands behind her back, coldly pronounced Wu Yuan's fate.
"The truth about her... you cannot bear it!"
Wu Yuan responded meaningfully.
"We can try!"
Jun Qianyue smiled.
"Good!"
"Then let's try!"
Wu Yuan nodded.
As his words fell, neither of them spoke another word. The atmosphere in Junlin Hall became extremely chilling.
The next second!
Boom!
A heaven-piercing pillar of fire rose from the center of the imperial palace!
Within the flames, two streaks of light collided!
In an instant, the sky above the entire Capital was half covered in crimson flames and half in icy white frost.
Terrifying Sacred Realm energy ripples distorted the Void Realm, and the Capital became a scene of world-ending chaos!
...Imperial Palace Back Mountain!
Ning Ye looked back at the heaven-piercing pillar of fire and couldn't help but murmur to himself, "She finally made her move!"
Despite saying this, he wasn't worried about Jun Qianyue's safety, because he knew that Wu Yuan was definitely not Jun Qianyue's match.
His thoughts stopped there.
Ning Ye turned his gaze to the huge abyss located deep in the imperial palace's back mountain.
"Dragon Abyss!"
"Presumably, that woman Mu Lingxi... rode the Crimson Blood Heavenly Dragon to this place!"
With that, Ning Ye took a deep breath, leaped, and directly plunged into the bottomless Dragon Abyss, which was covered in crimson mist.
...Crimson Blood Dragon Abyss!
Ning Ye's body continuously fell.
When he felt the cold wind at his feet gradually turn scorching hot, he knew he was almost at the bottom of the Dragon Abyss.
Boom!
Ning Ye adjusted his body and landed at the bottom of the Dragon Abyss.
Looking up, the charred rocks, the scorching air, the crimson magma flowing in the earth's core... all reminded Ning Ye that this was the Dragon Abyss, a world where dragons existed!
In the distance, thick black mist rolled in, and Ning Ye heard heavy breathing.
Without hesitation, Ning Ye used the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Demon and stepped into the black mist.
As he continued to advance, the heavy breathing grew even heavier, and his heartbeat slowly began to accelerate.
Suddenly, a gust of scorching wind slapped Ning Ye's face.
Two fiery orbs of light emerged in the black mist.
In an instant, terrifying pressure descended, disrupting Ning Ye's breathing.
Soon, huge crimson rocks, like small mountains, appeared before Ning Ye's eyes.
No, these were not rocks, but dragon scales!
As the black mist dissipated, a colossal creature suddenly appeared before Ning Ye's eyes. It was like a living crimson abyss, flapping its sky-obscuring dragon wings. Its pair of dragon eyes, like the crimson netherworld, coldly overlooked Ning Ye!
"Crimson Blood Heavenly Dragon!"
Ning Ye took a deep breath, his hands involuntarily tightening around his two weapons.
At this moment, a crisp System notification sound rang in his ear.
[Ding! System Notification: Dragon Slaying Quest officially activated!]
[Quest Name: Dragon Slaying.]
