The Soul Orb flew into the sky.
However, the tens of thousands of green dots fled in all directions like fireflies in the night.
He didn't know where to go with the Soul-sacrificing Sphere that Li Yu was controlling.
In the blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of green dots had disappeared.
Because of the Soul Orb, the Moon Demon didn't choose to find a new puppet to attach to after losing Feng Xin's body. Instead, he chose to flee.
The powerful Moon Demon hadn't expected that the trial takers of the Fallen Moon Forbidden Zone would have such a refined Caelum Soul.
The Moon Demon knew that the mysterious ancient sword intent wouldn't be able to exert much power even if it was branded in the trial taker's body.
Thus, the Moon Demon had nothing to fear.
Even though the Moon Demon was imprisoned, he still knew that the Silver Moon Empire would hold a trial every once in a while.
The trial takers were all young people of the Silver Moon Empire, and it was almost impossible for any of them to reach the Subtle realm.
Li Yu had reached the Breaking Profound realm, and that was already the limit.
Without reaching the Subtle realm, it was very difficult to gain the acknowledgment of the ancient sword intent. Even if one did, without a refined soul, it was very difficult to control the sword intent or communicate with the sword soul within.
The Moon Demon had been his enemy for thousands of years, so he knew better than anyone how terrifying that sword intent was.
It was because it was so terrifying and powerful that it was so difficult to control and wield a sword.
The Moon Demon had never expected that there would be an anomaly like Yu Yuan among the trial takers.
He, who had used the Extreme Intelligent Soul Forging Art to refine his Caelum Soul with the help of the white paper fan, had become an accident.
The ancient sword intent had sensed the refinement of his Caelum Soul, which was why it had fused into his body and branded itself in his arm, allowing him to wield a sword.
Li Yu, Yan Lu, and Zhan Tianxiang hadn't reached the Subtle realm yet, so they hadn't had time to refine their three souls.
They had only been able to affect the other Moon Demons with the help of items.
They hadn't used their own strength.
With such items, it was even more impossible for them to gain the acknowledgment of the ancient sword intent. If it weren't for the ancient sword intent, the Moon Demon wouldn't have feared the trial takers of the forbidden zone.
However, something unexpected had happened. Yu Yuan's existence had disrupted the Moon Demon's plan.
"The Moon Devil that escaped will appear again."
Li Yu was very calm. He signaled Su Yan, Zhan Tianxiang, and Zhao Yafu to protect Yu Yuan, who was lying on the ground. "He just used too much energy and fainted temporarily."
Seeing the tens of thousands of green lights fly away, the trial takers who had dodged the calamity heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they were grieving.
Beside them lay the corpses of their companions.
The deceased were all comrades of the same age as them. Feng Xin, who had been possessed by the Moon Devil, had fallen from the sky and pierced through their bodies.
"How are you?"
Li Yu turned his head and looked at Yan Lu.
Yan Lu's short rod, which the Moon Devil called the Soul Splitting Rod, had pierced through his abdomen. At this moment, the short gold and silver rod had returned to his hand. The wound on his abdomen had also been bandaged after applying ointment.
"I won't die, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to fight in the short term."
Yan Lu's face was pale, but his eyes were filled with determination and fearlessness. "I didn't expect that I would encounter such a great test from the Moon Demon during this trial. Heh, as long as I don't die, I'll definitely be able to enter the Profound Shattering stage! "
"Li Yu, what about the Moon Demon?" Lin Zhuyun asked softly.
"The Moon Demon was seriously injured by your fiancé." As Li Yu spoke, he looked at Yu Yuan and said, "It's all thanks to Yu Yuan. If he hadn't come, no one would have been able to stop the Moon Demon."
After a pause, he added, "I wouldn't have been able to stop it either."
Upon hearing those words, all of the survivors naturally turned to look at Yu Yuan, who had already fainted.
Only now did they understand Zhan Tianxiang and Han Hui's foresight, and they admired their vision and determination.
Who would have thought that the person who could turn the tide, restrain the Moon Demon, and lead everyone to survival wasn't Li Yu, the strongest of the young generation in the empire, but Yu Yuan from Dark Moon City?
How could a seventeen-year-old boy from the tiny Yu Clan of Dark Moon City become so different?
"I know. It's all thanks to him."
Lin Zhuyun bowed her head slightly, her emotions complicated. "Without him, the Moon Demon who relied on Feng Xin could have killed all of us."
Perhaps Li Yu didn't mean it, but he had heard of the legend between her and Yu Yuan, so when he mentioned Yu Yuan, he said that he was her fiancé.
However, after everything that had happened, when she heard the word "fiancé," she felt that he was mocking her and the entire Lin Clan!
How could such a Yu Yuan not be worthy of the Lin Clan and her, Lin Zhuyun?
The Lin Clan and Lin Zhuyun had desperately tried to force the Yu Clan to break off the engagement, saying that the foolish young master of the Yu Clan wasn't qualified.
Such a Yu Yuan, who was only in the Spirit Nurturing stage, had used an ancient sword intent to disrupt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, tear apart Feng Xin's flesh, and severely injure the Moon Demon in the forbidden land's trial.
Earlier on, Yu Yuan was also the one who had exposed Zhu Huan's identity and died.
The Moon Demon that had escaped from Lou Ling's body had also been killed by Yu Yuan.
Not to mention anything else, just the trial in the forbidden land. Yan Lu, Fan Li, and even Li Yu, who had contributed more than Yu Yuan? Who had Yu Yuan's insight to see through Zhu Huan's identity?
Such a Yu Yuan really wasn't worthy of the Lin Clan and Lin Zhuyun.
Lin Zhuyun's heart was filled with bitterness. She felt that the more outstanding Yu Yuan's performance was, the greater the humiliation to the Lin Clan and her.
She couldn't help but feel that the way other people looked at the Lin Clan and her was filled with deep meaning and malicious mockery and ridicule.
"The Moon Demon's soul didn't disperse. It fled in a hurry because the Soul Sacrificial Orb can restrain it." Li Yu's tone was heavy. "The Moon Demon will find a new puppet. The next time we meet, it could be a new Moon Demon. After suffering a loss, the Moon Demon will be even more cautious when it appears again.
"There's one more thing. The Moon Demon is constantly growing stronger.
"When the Moon Demon reappears, it may be even more terrifying than when it was in Feng Xin's body. I wonder how Yu Yuan's condition will be at that time. "
By saying this, it meant that Li Yu had already admitted that the heavy responsibility of killing the Moon Devil had fallen on Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan's life or death, and the extent of his recovery, would determine whether or not they could survive in the forbidden land.
"I didn't think that my life or death would be decided by Yu Yuan, not me." Fan Li of the Fan Clan laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head. "How laughable."
The others also thought the same.
Li Yu was slightly displeased. "Fan Li, do you have any objections?"
"No."
"If you have any objections and don't want to come with us, you can leave by yourself." Li Yu wasn't polite to him at all. "To be honest, everyone did their best in the previous battle. You were the only one who didn't use your full strength. From what I know of you, your strength is far greater than this. "
Su Yan, Yan Lu, and Lin Zhuyun all frowned slightly when they heard this.
How serious were Yan Lu's injuries?
Su Yan quietly went to protect Yu Yuan, and Lin Zhuyun joined forces with Li Yu to restrain Feng Xin for a while. In contrast, Fan Li only protected himself with his spiritual armor.
When the Moon Demon completely locked onto Yu Yuan, he secretly let out a sigh of relief and stayed out of the battle.
It seemed that Fan Li's heart wasn't with the team.
Fan Li was shocked. He hadn't expected to become the target of everyone.
"There won't be a next time. When the Moon Demon reappears, I will do my best." Fan Li hurriedly declared.
"I will enter the Shattering Profound Realm when the Moon Demon reappears." Lin Zhuyun took a deep breath and then said to Su Yan, "Next time, I will personally protect Yu Yuan before he makes the final attack."
"He's your fiancé. If you want protection, of course I'll give it to you," Su Yan said with a smile.
Lin Zhuyun's heart trembled when she heard the word "fiancé." She had a feeling that Su Yan was cursing someone.
