Late at night, a light drizzle fell from the sky.
The cool drizzle drifted in through the window of the posthouse, and Lin Muyu stood there quietly with her Stellar Sword in her hand. It was another cloudy night, and there was no way for her to cultivate the Stellar Arts. Fortunately, she still had a piece of roasted Suan Ni meat in her Universe Bag. After taking it out and chewing it carefully, she used the Clear Heart Incantation taught by Tang Xiaoxi to resist the heat energy brought by the Suan Ni meat.
"Sss sss …"
An almost inaudible sound came from her meridians, and she could faintly see a fiery red aura moving in her meridians. That was the light of the King's Fighting Flame. Lin Muyu took a deep breath and continued to use the Dragon Forging Bone Remnant Scroll to refine the strength of her King's Fighting Flame. At the same time, she absorbed the spirit energy from the Suan Ni meat to refine the intensity and purity of the King's Fighting Flame, making it even more powerful.
Probably because the window was open, the bell-like laughter of Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin came from the room next door. It was late at night, but they still hadn't slept and were still laughing.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi's laughter became fainter and fainter. They had probably gone to sleep.
"Huff …"
Lin Muyu leisurely exhaled, and a faint flame flowed out of her mouth. This was the impure aura of the King's Fighting Flame. The King's Fighting Flame was formed by the cultivator's Qi Sea, and it was refined by gathering the spirit energy of the world. The ultimate goal of refining the King's Fighting Flame was to refine it to 100% purity and remove the impure aura. Obviously, Lin Muyu was still far from that. If she could really cultivate the King's Fighting Flame to 100% purity, her power would probably be comparable to the Holy Heaven Realm Qu Chu.
She turned around and went back to her room, and her body felt a little hot.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xiao Chen silently recited the mantra for the Cleansing Heart Incantation. The King's Battle Flame slowly flowed through his body, dispelling the burning sensation from Suan Ni's flesh. This Cleansing Heart Incantation was indeed very useful. It was worthy of being one of the Seven Seas Tang Sect's secret arts.
Placing the Stars Sword next to her pillow, Lin Muyu subconsciously released her Spirit Pulse Art to sense her surroundings. Tang Xiaoxi and Qin Yin's auras were slowly decreasing. Once a cultivator fell asleep, their auras would also enter a dormant state, which made it very difficult for others to sense them. Aside from the two girls' auras, there were also the auras of Lu Zhong, Lu Chong, and Lu Shan, who had not fallen asleep yet.
Quietly closing her eyes, Lin Muyu slowly fell asleep. However, the King's Fighting Flame in her body actually appeared on the surface of her body along with the Star Arts' Xuan Energy, forming a faint fiery red Star Lotus Armor to protect its sleeping master.
…
In the dream, the sound of iron hooves was very intense. Lin Muyu frowned and stood on the grass with a sharp sword in his hand. He was wearing a broken Imperial Guard armor and was covered in blood. He roared, "Ah ah". In the distance, the Yihe Nation's battle flag was flying in the air. Countless iron hooves spurred their horses and rushed over. There was even a general shouting, "The person who beheads Lin Muyu will be rewarded with a hundred thousand gold!"
The sound of iron hooves was dense. In the dream, Lin Muyu's arms were weak, and the Battle Qi in his body seemed to have been exhausted.
"Come on!"
He roared unwillingly and raised his arm. The Seven Luminaries Xuan Energy brought with it a blue starlight, and the Seven Luminaries Stars Transformation whizzed out. However, the surging Star Power seemed to be too strong. It instantly swallowed his right arm, and his entire arm exploded, turning into a pile of flesh and blood.
"Ah ah ah …"
Lin Muyu knelt on the ground, and her eyes were already blood red.
"Yu … Hurry up and leave!" A voice that hadn't been heard for a long time came from behind. It was Chu Huaiying. He was wearing silver armor and a snow-white robe. He held a sword in his hand, and starlight flowed in his palm. The Star-plucking Finger landed heavily on the crowd, causing a group of Yihe Nation's iron hooves to howl in pain. Then, Chu Huaiying raised his sword and ordered loudly, "Flying Mount Battalion, follow me. Protect His Highness and Lin Muyu!"
The iron hooves from both sides clashed, and the entire sky was filled with blood.
"Pfft …"
No one knew who it was, but Chu Huaiying's left arm was cut in half. Countless spears suddenly pierced through his handsome body, and blood stained his white robe. He fell from his horse and rolled into the mud. However, he still held onto his sword and shouted in a hoarse voice, "For the empire, for His Highness, charge and kill!"
The black mass of Yihe Nation's iron hooves swept past, and Chu Huaiying's body drifted away like a fallen leaf in the wind.
Lin Muyu raised her head and looked at everything helplessly and angrily. She felt as if all the energy in her body had been sucked dry, and she roared like a wild beast, "Don't … Don't kill him. You bastards, don't kill him …"
The scene suddenly changed. Lin Muyu was kneeling in a puddle of water.
"Where is this? Brother Chu … Where's Brother Chu … "
He looked around in a daze, and tears filled his eyes. However, he saw a corpse floating in the puddle a few meters away. It was the Radiant Prince, Qin Jin. At this moment, Qin Jin was lying quietly at the bottom of the puddle, his eyes wide open. There were many blood-red bruises on his neck, and the Desolation Sword in his hand had already been snatched away.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from Qin Jin's body. He was still as dignified as before, but his gaze towards Lin Muyu was very gentle. He smiled faintly and said, "Yu, you've finally come to see me?"
Lin Muyu slowly stood up and looked at Qin Jin, "Father, you …"
"Father has already left this world."
Qin Jin looked deeply at him and said, "Yu, I've been keeping a low profile all my life, thinking that I could make the empire stronger and more prosperous. However, I never thought that this would be the result. Yu, I've never treated you like a real father. You won't blame me, right?"
Lin Muyu's body trembled. She did not answer Qin Jin's question, but asked, "Father, before you went to Fairy Lake, did you know that Qin Yi would send people to kill you?"
"So what if I knew? So what if I didn't?" Qin Jin's eyes were filled with peace and tranquility. He smiled slightly and said, "What will come will come. There's no escaping this. Yu, you're a strong child. I've always known that, and I also believe that you'll be able to accomplish great things. However, I can't stop worrying about Xiao Yin, and I can't stop worrying about my only daughter …"
Lin Muyu nodded and looked at the ripples on the surface of the water. It was unknown when it had started raining. He raised his head to look at Qin Jin and said, "Father, I'll take good care of Xiao Yin and do my best to protect her."
"Mmm."
Qin Jin's spiritual body slowly flew forward and placed his palm on Lin Muyu's shoulder. His eyes were filled with kindness as he slowly raised his palm and caressed Lin Muyu's face, which had been carved by the hardships of time. Two streams of tears slowly flowed down and splashed onto the surface of the water. Qin Jin, the King of Light, was actually crying. He said tearfully, "Yu, my son, you're the greatest pride of my life. I've let you down, so please don't blame me. Help me take good care of your younger sister, Xiao Yin. I've let the world down, and the only thing I can do is be a good father. I … have to leave. Yu, take care …"
As he spoke, Qin Jin's spiritual body turned into starlight and flew towards the heavenly river in the sky like a firefly.
Lin Muyu slowly knelt down in the pool, and the tears in his eyes finally flowed out. He held onto his sharp sword with one hand and pressed his other hand into the mud, as if he was a knight on guard. He looked up at the sky and said, "Father, rest in peace! I'll take good care of Xiao Yin. I'll also take back the world for you! "
…
"Ah …"
Lin Muyu suddenly woke up from his dream. When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn. His cheeks were wet. He had actually cried in his dream. But today, Lin Muyu was no longer the same as before. Weakness was like poison to him. He quickly raised his hand to wipe away his tears. How could Lin Muyu, one of the Four Heroes of Lanyan, cry?
But just as he raised his hand, Lin Muyu realized that the Treasured Sword of Stars next to his pillow had disappeared without a trace!
"Oh my god!"
His body suddenly trembled. The Treasured Sword of Stars was gone!
He hurriedly turned over to look for it, but he still couldn't find any trace of the Treasured Sword of Stars. He immediately became anxious. The Treasured Sword of Stars was a first-grade sacred artifact, but the sword spirit of the Treasured Sword was his master, the Sword Elder. How could he let this sword be lost in his hands!
He hurriedly put on his clothes and went out the door, only to find Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi walking towards him with breakfast in their hands.
"What's wrong, Big Brother Yu?" Qin Yin asked in surprise.
"The Treasured Sword of Stars has been stolen!"
Lin Muyu clenched her fist and said angrily, "Someone actually stole the Treasured Sword of Stars without anyone noticing. It's all my fault for being too careless!"
"It can't be?"
Tang Xiaoxi's mouth opened wide. "Mu, aren't you well-versed in the Spiritual Pulse Technique? With your ability, who could get so close to you without anyone noticing …"
"I don't know either. Hurry up and find it!"
"Okay!"
The two girls didn't care about eating anymore. Qin Yin directly went downstairs and shouted, "Lu Zhong!"
Uncle Tianji, who was dressed in iron armor, was about to go out. He hurriedly turned around and cupped his fists respectfully. "Your Highness, please give me your orders!"
"Commander Yu's Treasured Sword of Stars has been lost. Immediately gather your men and search the entire posthouse. Find it for me!"
"Yes!" Lu Zhong's face was filled with shock. "May I ask Your Highness, the Treasured Sword of Stars …"
"A substandard divine artifact. It's a divine artifact that fell from the Heaven Realm on the Cloud Ridge."
"Oh my god …" Lu Zhong was shocked. "I'll send people to find it now!"
"Good. If you can find it, you will be rewarded handsomely."
"Yes!"
…
Lin Muyu squinted her eyes and looked at Lu Zhong's group. She slowly activated the Spiritual Pulse Technique. The range of detection was getting bigger and bigger. However, she couldn't sense the slightest aura of the Treasured Sword within a mile. She continued to inject her King's Battle Flame into the Spiritual Pulse Technique and extended the detection radius — two miles!
Three miles!
Four miles!
Five miles!
Six miles!
…
When the Spiritual Pulse Technique extended to ten miles, it was already the limit of the strength of Lin Muyu's soul. However, at this moment, a familiar fluctuation suddenly appeared in the Spiritual Pulse Technique. It was the sword soul power of the Treasured Sword of Stars!
"Found it!"
Lin Muyu clapped her hands and said, "Xiao Yin, the Treasured Sword of Stars is in the west. It's in the direction of Lanyan City. Let's chase after it. I want to see who has the guts to steal my things!"
"Okay!"
It was still drizzling in the morning. The three of them put on their straw raincoats and got on their horses. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the misty rain.
…
Outside the posthouse, Lu Zhong, Lu Chong, and Lu Shan respectfully sent the empress off. When the three of them were far away, Lu Chong raised his head and a glint flashed across his eyes.
Lu Chong asked, "Father, is that Treasured Sword of Stars really a divine artifact?"
"Her Highness said it's a substandard divine artifact. It's even higher than a holy divine artifact. It's one of a kind in this realm." Lu Zhong's eyes were filled with excitement. He lowered his voice and said, "Chong 'er, how strong are the people you sent? Will they be captured by Lin Muyu? He's … he's a Holy King who has the King's Battle Flame! "
"Absolutely not." Lu Chong said confidently.
