Chapter 1013

"The royal clan is here!" Huiye Yin said when she saw a bunch of powerful elites descending from the sky. They entered the Veneramoon Formation and headed to the divine moon hall. After seeing a figure in white leaving, tens of them gave chase.

"I wonder if Her Majesty arrived?" she said excitedly.

"I think so! I see Her Majesty's silhouette!"

Everyone's eyes began shining with hope.

"The killer ran away. Her Majesty will definitely kill him! We no longer have to hide!"

"Quick, check how many people are injured!"

"Oh, my dad!" Huiye Yin and the rest were really nervous. They immediately ran back and saw Huiyue Jie and Yuehe.

"Brother, did you see that? Her Majesty is here!" she said excitedly.

"I did," Huiyue Jie said weakly.

"The killer is gone, but Her Majesty is giving chase. Huiyue City is fine now. Let's join up with Dad! I worry that he's hurt."

"We should turn back and check," Yuehe said worriedly. Only with her assent and the departure of the killer did they dare to turn back.

All of a sudden, a huge commotion could be heard from the north of the formation. The killer was probably trying to escape in that direction. It was far from the divine moon hall, so Yuehe and the rest were even more encouraged to head back there. It was only when they arrived that they began losing steam. They had seen far too many corpses of their seniors on the way there, each of them the target of envy and respect.

"Where's my dad? Did he give chase with the royals?" Huiye Yin's face was pale as paper. She began panicking as her heart rapidly beat and she couldn't even walk on stable footing. "Brother, are you worried about Dad?"

"He's at the Decapath Sky level and among the top ten of all of the divine moonrace. He also went after the killer with a lot of help. If he isn't fine, our foe is far too terrifying," Huiyue Jie weakly said. He had to put on a show now that Sovereign Xi was here. Now, he was a defeated wretch. Even so, he was still confident in his own father.

However, when he turned to the rubble of the divine moon hall, he gasped coldly. Like a madman, he stumbled toward the center and fell. When he got up, he confirmed that the corpse he saw was indeed that of his father.

"Daaaad!" he shrieked, crying and leaning against the corpse. He knelt on the ground. Even though he had finally been freed from his nightmare, the nightmare of the divine moonrace as a whole had only just begun. His rage caused him to cough out black blood. The whole city wept and mourned for the fallen.

……

Tianming knocked on the entrance of the bunker. It didn't take long before Feiling and Huiye Shi opened the door.

"Ling'er, let's leave." He pulled her to him.

"Is it done? Your sword—"

"I have it here."

Hearing that, Feiling was relieved and came to him.

"Hey, what about me?" Huiye Shi said. Even knowing that they were about to leave, she couldn't bring herself to part with them.

Tianming stopped and turned back. "If Granny Yuehe comes, tell her that I came to Huiyue City to cultivate at the divine moon hall. I never loved you at all, and now that the hall is gone and I offended Huiyue Jie, I no longer wish to stay with the Huiyue Clan, so I dumped you. You never knew anything about me. You could even tell them that Ling'er was the one I loved all along, and I merely used and dumped you."

"Come on, please don't make me do that! It's really embarrassing! I'll lose all face!"

"Is your reputation more important than your life?"

"Of course not."

"Shishi, you've helped me out tremendously. If we meet again, fate willing, I’ll make it up to you," Tianming said.

"Forget making up to me, what about the curse?" she said, clutching her skirt. Now that she knew Tianming's true identity, it would be troubling for her to reveal what she knew about the matter with the specters. The Flameyellow Continent could still be dragged into this. This secret concerned the lives of billions.

"We'll deal with it next time! Trust me!"

"Hmph, you're shamelessly stingy. I hope you two break up as soon as possible!" she snapped.

Tianming merely laughed.

"Bye, Shishi!" Feiling said, waving goodbye.

"Leave now! I've had enough of your lovey-dovey aura! Never come back to look for me!"

Tianming gave her one last look and left with Feiling.

"Big Brother, I've actually released her from the curse," Feiling whispered.

"I know. But we can never let her know."

At the very least, they had freed her from the curse for what she had done for them. Even so, they couldn't let her know that she was truly free, for their secret concerned the lives of all humans on the Flameyellow Continent.

Then they suddenly stopped in their tracks. "Where's Meow Meow?"

"He's still napping in the bunker!" Feiling said.

"Dammit!" Tianming went back to the bunker, only to see Huiye Shi applying the oily green hair-growth ointment.

"Aaah!" She accidentally slathered her whole head with it from the fright. "Waaaah! I've had enough of living! I got cucked and I'm wearing a green hat, and you came back to laugh at me too!" She had even swallowed some of the salty ointment.

"You're overthinking this." Tianming went to the corner, picked up the sleeping cat, and immediately left.

Meow Meow was thrown into the lifebound space, but it merely stretched lazily and continued sleeping.

"Cat Bro, wake up. I think your balls are gone," Ying Huo said sneakily.

"Meow…." A bubble of snot began forming at its nose as it continued sleeping.

"Cat Bro, your balls are missing!" Lan Huang's two heads roared at the side of its ears.

"Whaaaaaaathefuckwhatmyballswheremissinghow?!" it cried when it jumped. Stretching a paw out to feel it, it felt utterly relieved to feel its testes in the place they should be.

……

After Tianming left, a figure in the distance followed behind him. He stared closely at Tianming as they trod through the chaotic city, never approaching. But little did he know that Tianming had noticed him long ago.
