3582 Infiltration

Feng Jiu was familiar with Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s moods. She could tell by his sulking expression that he was probably feeling jealous. She smiled gently and stroked his palm with her fingers.

Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s heart skipped a beat when he felt a tingling feeling in his palm. He gazed down at Feng Jiu beside him, her eyes full of affection and a gentle smile on her face. His stern expression softened when he saw her like this. He squeezed her hand back, imitating her actions and lightly stroking her palm with his fingers.

Feng Jiu paused as the tingling sensation extended from her palm to her heart. She couldn’t help but smile as she saw Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s mood improve.

As they walked along in the dark, not even Mo Chen, who was walking next to them, noticed their private exchanges. He only knew that their relationship seemed to have become more intimate in an instant. It was the kind of affection and trust that existed between lovers and between husband and wife—a bond that outsiders couldn’t intrude upon.

When Mo Chen saw them like this, he felt happy for her. He was glad to see Feng Jiu happy and that she had married for love. He was also glad to see how much Xuanyuan Mo Ze loved and cared for her.

Yet deep down, he also felt a pang of emptiness and loneliness, emotions he carefully concealed.

Under the cover of night, the three of them ascended towards the sky, bypassing layers of defence to silently approach their destination. The three of them, with their auras concealed, seemed to have merged with the world around them. Aided by the darkness, they managed to avoid the vigilant guards and stealthily infiltrated the area.

Feng Jiu gently opened a small gap in the boundary barrier, and once they were inside, restored it to its original state.

The patrol in the dark was continuous. With a sweep of their divine senses, they could sense the presence of many guards, both hidden and in plain sight. Xuanyuan Mo Ze looked at Mo Chen and said, “We should split up; we’re too conspicuous together.”

Mo Chen nodded, “Alright, I’ll go check over there.” After pointing in a certain direction, he vanished into the night.

“We’ll go this way,” Xuanyuan Mo Ze stated, taking Feng Jiu in a different direction.

Feng Jiu felt a warmth in her heart as she held Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s hand. He seemed to like holding her hand whenever they were together, whether they were on a mission or just out for a walk. The sensation of his larger hand encircling hers was comforting and reassuring.

Meanwhile, Skylink Monarch, who was still unaware that Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Nine had infiltrated his palace, was discussing plans with the master of the Black Lotus.

Skylink Monarch said, “They left shortly after their wedding. I think they must have returned to the upper realm. The scouts I’ve sent out have not returned yet, but we can choose a time to strike in the next few days.”

Skylink Monarch took a sip of his wine and continued, “The Demon Lord says that his injuries haven’t fully healed and won’t act anytime soon. However, hmph! He thinks I don’t know what he’s up to. He just wants to watch the fight between us and Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu to gauge our abilities.”

The master of the Black Lotus sitting across from him narrowed his eyes. Lifting his cup, he drained it in one gulp and said in a sinister voice, “Then let’s show him what we’re capable of!”
