Chapter 1561: Chapter 1560: The Matter Concludes, a Conversation with the Candle Dragon
The Immortal Lord continued, “Since our business is concluded.
I think you won’t interfere with what I do next, right?”
“I want to take him away,” after the Immortal Lord finished speaking.
A powerful force directly locked onto Xu Zimei.
That’s right, their primary target, from beginning to end, was Xu Zimei.
And plotting against the Sun Palace was just incidental with the Sun Moon Sect.
Xu Zimei is definitely the greatest threat to the Holy Court.
More severe than anyone or any force.
So they would rather let go of the Sun Palace affair and take Xu Zimei away.
But Xu Zimei frowned slightly.
He knew that with his current strength, he was no match for the Holy Court.
Or the Dao Fruit powerhouse.
But if pushed to the brink, Xu Zimei wouldn’t mind unleashing the power left by the former Demon Lord.
At that time, whether it’s the Immortal Lord or the Dao Fruit powerhouse.
It’s just a matter of a single hand.
However, Xu Zimei also knew that this power would diminish with each use.
It’s meant for saving his life.
Unless there’s a life-threatening situation, he would not use it.
……
Hearing the Immortal Lord’s words, the Candle Dragon sneered.
Looking at Xu Zimei, he said with a smile, “Demon Lord, how about we make a deal?”
“I know what kind of deal you want to make,” Xu Zimei said.
“But I simply refuse to make it.”
Xu Zimei shook his head, he could pretty much guess it.
His body held the Myriad Water Streams, something the Sun Palace desperately needed.
And he also carried several flames of the Fire Tribe.
The Candle Dragon’s deal was no more than protecting him in exchange for these items to save his life.
Xu Zimei had been planning for so long, and it was impossible to let the appearance of an Immortal Lord ruin his efforts.
He looked up at the firmament.
At the Immortal Lord hidden in the void, suppressing a region of the world.
He smiled and said, “I know you’re strong, but do you really think you can take me away?
If you provoke me, today’s loss is just some items, burying you is all.”
It’s just that I don’t know if the Holy Ancestor old man has arrived yet.”
Hearing Xu Zimei’s words, the Immortal Lord let out a heavy snort.
He seemed extremely furious at being spoken to like this by Xu Zimei.
And the Candle Dragon, hearing this, also chuckled lightly, “Demon Lord, although you say this,
I’ll still protect you.
After all, the Myriad Water Streams of our Fire Tribe cannot fall into the hands of the Holy Court.
I’d rather deal with you than with them.
But if you and he start to fight, it would be quite interesting.”
Hearing the Candle Dragon’s schadenfreude tone.
Xu Zimei and the Immortal Lord snorted at the same time.
“Immortal Lord, what do you say?” the Candle Dragon asked.
“Fight or retreat, make your choice.”
“Candle Dragon, with you here today, I’ll give you face,” the Immortal Lord said.
His gaze turned to Xu Zimei again.
“Demon Lord, your ultimate fate is always death.
No matter how you struggle, it’s futile.”
“I don’t care about death,” Xu Zimei laughed.
“I remember someone just said.
Death is just a stop in my life, not the end.
Birth and death reincarnate eternally.
Death only makes more people shine.”
The Immortal Lord let out a cold snort, and then his figure gradually faded away.
The suppressive aura surrounding the crowd slowly disappeared as well.
Just now, although the Immortal Lord did not target others, his momentum suppressed everyone.
Xu Zimei looked up at the firmament.
Finally, he let out a cold snort.
Meanwhile, the Candle Dragon finally looked at the Moon God trapped in the formation.
He sighed lightly.
“You are already dead, you should find peace now.”
He waved his right hand.
Streams of the Power of Laws emanated.
This power enveloped the Moon God.
It seemed to be continuously eroding the malice Qi from the Moon God’s body.
While the Moon God kept roaring incessantly.
Although it lost consciousness, the hatred between it and the Candle Dragon, even after thousands of years,
still existed.
The Moon God broke free from the Candle Dragon’s laws of power.
And charged at the Candle Dragon.
The Candle Dragon sighed softly.
“If you want to fight, then fight in the outer heavens.
And end your life.
From me you began, from me you end.”
After saying that, the Candle Dragon waved his right hand.
The twisted void swept both of them away.
……
And the Light Saint King was thus freed.
He looked around at everyone, smiling, “Ladies and gentlemen, today’s events must have startled you.
However, I still hope today’s matters remain confidential.
They are unrelated to all of you.”
“Saint King, when can we leave?” someone asked.
They were, after all, concerned about their safety.
“You can leave anytime, but we’ve organized a banquet at the Sun Palace.
To compensate for the fright you’ve endured,” the Light Saint King smiled.
“You can choose to leave or choose to stay.
We won’t stop you.”
Hearing this, some wished to leave.
But others realized this was a chance to build a good rapport with the Sun Palace.
After settling everyone, the Light Saint King found Xu Zimei.
“Young Master Xu, our Ancestor will return soon.
He asked me to invite you to rest at the Sun Palace.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t run away,” Xu Zimei replied.
“If I don’t take advantage of you at the Sun Palace,
I’d disappoint myself.”
The Light Saint King awkwardly smiled.
He had speculated about Xu Zimei’s identity and vaguely knew something.
But now it seemed he knew only the tip of the iceberg.
He regarded Xu Zimei as a figure akin to the Ancestor, so he said no more.
Only the Ancestor could discuss this matter with him.
Xu Zimei was invited into the Sun Palace, and this time, he was treated with extraordinary respect.
Previously, the Sun Palace had been destroyed by the Moon God’s palm strike.
But such a treasure as the Sun Palace could repair itself.
As long as it wasn’t completely destroyed, it could be restored.
Xu Zimei sat in a courtyard within the Sun Palace.
At the entrance were two maidservants attending to him.
Both were of exceptional beauty.
Before long, in the pavilion beside Xu Zimei, the void had been unknowingly torn apart.
And the Candle Dragon’s figure had appeared within it.
Sitting on a chair, the Candle Dragon was a middle-aged man in a black robe.
The robe was long, draping in the air.
The man’s black hair was like ink, and his face was marked with lines.
These lines seemed like ancient tattoos.
They conveyed a cryptic and profound meaning.
Aside from this, the middle-aged man had reverted to simplicity.
He appeared just like an ordinary person, ordinary yet mysterious, several auras coexisting within him.
“It’s not easy to meet you,” Xu Zimei smiled.
“But here we are,” the Candle Dragon smiled.
“I was helpless. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to show myself, but the Immortal Lord had his eyes on me.
We were contesting in secret, neither willing to make the first move.
But in the end, I was a step ahead.”
Seeing the Candle Dragon smile, Xu Zimei said.
“Your step ahead was achieved by my desperate fight to kill the Yin-Yang Great Saint.”
