Chapter 490: The Cold Moon in the Sky
When a dimensional rift evolved, it was equivalent to sealing off the original dimensional s.p.a.ce. This formed an independent spatial environment that was constantly ripping and expanding.
Even if the Mother of Bloodbath exerted all of its strength, it would not be able to tear open a dimensional rift that was in the process of evolving.
Moreover, even if someone had the ability to tear such a dimensional rift open, the Mother of Bloodbath would desperately rush to stop that person.
If a dimensional rift was torn open during the process of evolution, then its internal spatial energy would dissolve into chaos and collapse.
At that time, Lin Yuan would be ripped into pieces, destined to have no chance of survival.
Now, the Mother of Bloodbath held Lin Yuan’s Ethereal Jellyfish in its arms; they were the only thing with which it could determine Lin Yuan’s life and death.
Although the Mother of Bloodbath had suppressed its panic, the self-reproach written on its face was unabated.
It took to the air directly and returned to the deserted island, taking out the cell phone that it had previously received from Lin Yuan.
Despite being a Myth Breed fey, the hand with which the Mother of Bloodbath held Lin Yuan’s cell phone still trembled.
It had been alive for a long time. Yet, all the traces previously left by life paled in comparison to those left in this half a year.
Scenes of the times it had spent with Lin Yuan, from their very first meeting, flashed in its mind.
It would not abandon him now!
In the end, its entire life was integrated into the Return from Faraway mansion. The mansion had long been regarded by the Mother of Bloodbath as its home.
Spider feys had always been cruel, but once these cold-blooded feys were certain about something, they tended to be more sincere.
The Mother of Bloodbath forced itself not to let its thoughts wander any longer and lowered its head. Its eyes rested on the cell phone in its hands.
It took a deep breath and dialed a number on Lin Yuan’s cell phone.
It understood that it could not do anything now.
However, that person might have had some idea.
At Leaning Moon Mountain, where gulls and herons circled as b.u.t.terflies fluttered...
The Silver Stamen Gold l.u.s.ter Ca.s.sia gave off an elegant osmanthus fragrance, which permeated the air in front of the Radiant Moon Palace.
Today, there was something different about the Radiant Moon Palace—four tea attendants stood at its entrance.
Although their expressions were unusually serious, they revealed a hint of expectation.
Mystic Moon was standing beside the table with a jade pumpkin teapot in his hand within the inner palace.
His gaze was on the Moon Shadow Walkway within the inner palace.
The walkway led inwards to the Moon Empress’ bedchamber.
At this time, all of the Suzerain lotus flower feys in the inner palace’s lotus pond spouted haze.
This made the inner palace look like a fairyland shrouded in sunlight.
In the pond, the peony-like tails of a few Spirit-Siphon Goldfish, which had evolved from the Platinum to the Diamond grade at some point in time, occasionally surfaced.
Ripples emerged on the surface of the haze-shrouded lotus pond.
At that moment, Mystic Moon’s thoughts were obviously not on the jade pumpkin teapot in his hand.
Thus, as he was pouring tea from the teapot, he accidentally spilled some on the table. He hurriedly placed the teapot on the table before using a piece of cloth to wipe away the water stains.
Compared to the expressions of the four tea attendants standing at the entrance of the inner palace, the worry in Mystic Moon’s eyes was greater.
He could not help but mutter softly, “This is the Moon Empress’ third time reaching this Myth grade in the past few years. Not only did she fail in her last two attempts, but she also suffered heavy losses.
“I really hope that the Moon Empress will come out unscathed this time.”
At that moment, the cell phone that the Moon Empress had previously placed on the table suddenly began to ring.
Mystic Moon did not react immediately.
The Moon Empress’ cell phone seldom rang. Most of her calls came from Lin Yuan.
However, the Moon Empress had recently suggested that the Radiance Hundred Sequence should be changed.
Hence, the chance that it was the Radiance Sacred Hall contacting the Moon Empress had also increased.
Although Mystic Moon was one of the Moon Empress’ two Moon Envoys, he would not directly respond to her calls on her behalf.
That would be overstepping his authority.
Yet, right after the cell phone had stopped ringing, it sounded again, three times in a row.
It seemed that there was an urgent matter at hand.
Mystic Moon glanced at the cell phone and realized that it was Lin Yuan who had called.
He could not help frowning slightly. These three consecutive calls were rather pressing.
Could Lin Yuan have encountered something urgent?
The Moon Empress was currently in seclusion. If Lin Yuan really required urgent a.s.sistance, Mystic Moon himself could take care of the matter.
With that in mind, Mystic Moon picked up the phone.
Upon answering the call, he heard a strange female voice on the other end instead of Lin Yuan’s familiar one.
After hearing what the speaker had to say, Mystic Moon’s face darkened.
In an instant, a violent spiritual fluctuation spiraled from Mystic Moon’s body.
At the same time, magnificent bright silver patterns appeared on his forehead, cheeks, and palms. His pupils also turned dark silver.
Mystic Moon’s usually gentle voice acquired an edge of coldness and worry.
“Wait for me to inform the Moon Empress!”
Having said that, Mystic Moon spared a glance at the Moon Shadow Walkway of the inner palace.
He gnashed his teeth, grabbed the cell phone that he had yet to hang up, and headed towards the walkway.
Just then, in the bedchamber of the Moon Shadow Walkway, the Moon Empress’ originally shut eyes suddenly opened.
In the instant that the Moon Empress’ eyes opened, her demeanor was entirely transformed.
Her previous bearing was comparable to a bright moon s.h.i.+ning diagonally across a large river, unparalleled in elegance and destined to be at the peak.
Now, all of her sharpness and n.o.bility disappeared instantaneously, the bright moon reduced to a wisp of soft, gentle moonlight.
The hint of a smile hovered on the Moon Empress’ lips.
But right after that, her eyebrows knitted tightly together.
Abruptly, she could no longer sense the existence of the Extreme Token that she had given to Lin Yuan.
At that moment, she heard Mystic Moon’s voice at her door.
“Moon Empress, I have an important matter to report. It is regarding the Young Lord, so I had no choice but to bother you.”
Upon hearing Mystic Moon’s words, the Moon Empress immediately picked up the little rabbit beside her that was nibbling its carrot incessantly.
In a flash, she left her bedchamber.
When the Moon Empress appeared before Mystic Moon, he sensed her body’s condition and instantly knew that she had really broken through the boundary.
Now, she was already of a higher rank than an S-rank spirit qi professional.
Yet, Mystic Moon could not utter even a single congratulatory phrase to her.
He handed over the cell phone that was still on the line to the Moon Empress.
After picking up the call, the Moon Empress’ initially cold expression became impa.s.sive and calm in less than a moment.
Soon after, countless experts and ordinary people from the Radiance Federation raised their heads and looked toward the sky.
At that moment, the sky had suddenly transformed!
It had originally been midday, with the sun slanting slightly to the west.
In the blink of an eye, the white day had turned into black night, the scorching sun into a bright moon.
It was just that the moonlight radiating from the moon at that moment appeared unusually cold!
