Chapter 498: Fighting for Faith
Na Luo used some strength to pry Sheng Yang’s fingers away from her wrist.
After placing Sheng Yang’s finger under the blanket, Na Luo stood up. She glanced at the enchanting ancient merman in the mirror and slowly closed her eyes.
The moment she closed her eyes, her body began to change.
Her golden fishtail transformed into two muscular long legs, her slender waist turned into a flat and narrow waist, and her plump chest instantly became flat and muscular.
Na Luo’s features became chiseled, and her eyebrows became bold.
When she opened her eyes again, her beautiful blue eyes were suddenly filled with a sharp glint. At this moment, Na Luo had completely transformed into a man.
Na Luo stared at the man in the mirror wearing the golden fish scale armor and couldn’t help but fall into a daze.
Wasn’t he much more handsome than Sheng Zhou?
But no matter how handsome he was, Sheng Yang didn’t like him.
Na Luo shook her head and looked back at the sleeping Sheng Yang.
“Goodbye, Yang Yang.”
With that, Na Luo walked out of the underground palace with her bare feet on the cold stone floor.
As soon as Su Xuanye died, the Beast Tamers who had been planted with the Blood Pact in his mind immediately sensed that the Blood Pact had disappeared.
“The Blood Pact has disappeared. Could it be that the honorable Peac.o.c.k King… has already died?” The beast tamers who had submitted to Su Xuanye looked at each other and felt uneasy.
They were planning to achieve great things with the Peac.o.c.k King. Now that the Peac.o.c.k King had been killed, what would happen to them?
At that moment, they heard a bell ring.
In the entire underground palace, only the Prime Emperor would make such a sound when she walked.
Hearing the bell, everyone calmed down.
“The Prime Emperor is extremely powerful. She wiped out the entire Merman Clan alone. She will definitely lead us to defeat those sanctimonious hypocrites!”
“Even if the Peac.o.c.k King falls, we still have the Prime Emperor!”
When they thought about how Prime Emperor Na Luo was still alive, this group of people who had been at a loss just now immediately felt a.s.sured.
The sound of the bell was getting closer.
Everyone turned to look at the entrance of the pa.s.sageway and saw a tall figure walking over against the light of the underground palace.
The Prime Emperor had an enchanting and s.e.xy figure, but this person’s outline looked abnormally tall and mighty.
This wasn’t their Prime Emperor.
However, when that person walked out from the shadows, everyone was stunned.
Although the person in front of them wasn’t the Prime Emperor, he looked very similar to her. He had long blue curly hair and a face that was very similar to the Prime Emperor’s, but he was a man.
This person…
Who was he?
A Night Elf who had long submitted to the Blood Peac.o.c.k Organization walked to the unfamiliar man. He smelled a familiar aura of an expert from the unfamiliar man and instantly became shocked.
However, wasn’t the Prime Emperor a woman?!
How did she become like this?
The man in front of him was about 1.9 meters tall. He was muscular and his eyes were cold as he exuded an innate murderous aura.
If he took off his pants, his male part would probably be bigger than all of theirs.
Such a person was Prime Emperor Na Luo?!
Not only did the Night Elf not believe that the man in front of him was Na Luo, but the others also didn’t believe that this was real.
Na Luo nodded indifferently. “It’s me.”
He suddenly closed his eyes. In the next second, his straight and powerful legs turned into a dark golden fishtail in front of everyone.
As everyone knew, the dark golden fishtail was the color of an ancient merman’s tail.
So, this handsome and n.o.ble man in front of them was really Prime Emperor Na Luo!
Some of the subordinates who had secretly admired Na Luo’s beauty became dejected when they saw Na Luo transform into a man.
Na Luo and the others were currently in the center of the underground palace’s training square. This was also the largest square in the underground palace and could accommodate ten thousand people at the same time.
Above the square, there was the administrative building of the emperor of the Divine Moon Empire.
Na Luo stared at the Beast Tamers gathered below her.
They came from all over the continent. Among them, there were Night Elves who were despised for their low status, humans who were discriminated against by their families because of their mediocre talent or low birth. Similarly, there were also some deformed beastmen.
They were all people who were discriminated against and mocked by their own kind.
And these people all treated the Blood Peac.o.c.k as their home and Su Xuanye as their patriarch.
Back then, when Su Xuanye was creating the Death Curse, the reason why those Supreme Masters were willing to take the initiative to sacrifice was because they had the same ideals as Su Xuanye. They all hoped that there would be no more Beast Tamers in this world.
If there were no more Beast Tamers in the world, then everyone would be ordinary people.
Only when everyone’s status was the same could everyone be equal.
It was precisely because they had the same ideals and ambition that they joined forces.
Were they bad people?
No.
But were they good people?
Not really.
They were all people from all walks of life who fought for their ideals.
Na Luo opened her palm. There was a soul lamp in her palm, and the soul lamp had already been extinguished. Na Luo told everyone, “The Peac.o.c.k King has died.”
Staring at the extinguished soul lamp, many people’s eyes turned red.
“Everyone, Purifying Spirit Master Lin Jiansheng has already broken through to Level 10 and reached the level of a Purifying Spirit G.o.d. The Peac.o.c.k King died in his hands. At this moment, the alliance has already gathered all the experts on the continent and is rushing towards Jingdu. The final battle is about to begin!”
“I have an irreconcilable feud with the Merman Clan. I killed the entire Merman Clan. There will definitely be a fierce battle between me and Prime Emperor Dino. Either he dies or I die. I have no way out, but you guys still have a way out.”
“Everyone, now that the Blood Peac.o.c.k has died, the Blood Pact effect he left in your minds has disappeared. You can choose to leave on your own or take the initiative to confess.”
Hearing this, the Beast Tamers on the square summoned their beast forms at the same time. They roared loudly, “We are willing to advance and retreat with the Prime Emperor!”
The roars of nearly a thousand Beast Tamers gathered together might not be earth-shattering, but it still caused the ground to tremble.
The people on the ground realized that the ground was suddenly shaking. They thought that an earthquake had arrived and immediately found a safe area to escape in panic.
Divine Moon Empire’s royal family.
The prince, Mo Yuelou, called and was reporting the situation to his brother.
“Brother, Dean Di of the Divine Realm Academy has already found the hiding place of the Blood Peac.o.c.k Organization.”
“Where is it?” Mo Yelou’s eyes widened.
The Beast Tamer Alliance had been searching for them for as long as the Blood Peac.o.c.k and the others had been hiding.
However, they seemed to have disappeared from the world.
So, where were they hiding?
Mo Yuelou gasped on the phone before saying with an ambivalent tone, “They are hidden in the underground palace two thousand meters under the Divine Moon Empire’s royal family!”
Mo Yelou was speechless.
They had indeed disappeared from the face of the earth.
They had all gone underground.
Before Mo Yelou could process this news, he suddenly realized that the ground under his feet was trembling. Mo Yelou subconsciously raised his head and stared at the office table. He saw his fountain pen trembling on the table.
“Your Majesty, there seems to be an earthquake!” Mo Yelou’s personal bodyguard quickly ran in from outside and protected Mo Yelou while preparing to escape.
But Mo Yelou stared at the fountain pen and said, “This isn’t an earthquake.”
The vibration of the earthquake was different from this.
Mo Yelou stared at the floor under his feet and said thoughtfully, “Something is coming out from underground.”
Mo Yuelou hadn’t hung up the phone. When he heard the commotion on his brother’s end, he immediately felt uneasy. “Brother, what happened?”
Mo Yelou took a deep breath and said, “I’m afraid they’re coming out.” Just as Mo Yelou finished speaking, he heard the sound of something collapsing.
Boom!
Mo Yelou hurriedly put down the phone and looked up in the direction of the voice. He could tell that the voice came from the Divination Tower, and his figure disappeared from the spot.
In the next second, Mo Yelou appeared in the Divination Tower.
The Divination Tower was the tallest building in the Divine Moon Empire’s royal family. It was also the most sacred ancient building in the hearts of the citizens of the Divine Moon Empire. However, this Divination Tower that had stood for hundreds of years in Jingdu had actually fallen!
Under the collapsed Divination Tower, a bottomless black hole appeared!
The Divination Tower had fallen!
This was an ominous sign!
When the bodyguards and guards who heard the commotion and ran over to investigate the situation saw the Divination Tower collapse, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They didn’t dare to look at Mo Yelou’s expression.
However, Mo Yelou didn’t have those superst.i.tious thoughts. He only looked at the deep pit uneasily.
The words his brother had said on the phone rang in Mo Yelou’s mind again.
The Blood Peac.o.c.k Organization was hidden under the Divine Moon Empire’s royal family!
Mo Yelou took a deep breath and suddenly turned around to shout at the guards behind him, “Run!”
“It’s dangerous! Everyone, evacuate as soon as possible!”
When he shouted, Mo Yelou had already summoned his beast form.
No guards had ever seen His Majesty’s beast form. They didn’t even know what kind of creature His Majesty’s beast form was. However, today, they saw it.
Their n.o.ble, magnanimous, and kind emperor’s beast form was actually a lobster!
The lobster’s sh.e.l.l was very hard. Its entire body was red, as if it was wearing a red robe. Its golden pincers looked majestic.
However, lobsters were the most popular seafood delicacy in the hearts of the Divine Moon Empire’s citizens. Therefore, when the guards saw that majestic lobster, there was only one thought in their minds—
They really, really wanted to eat it!
Whether it was eaten with steamed sauce or braised spicy barbecue, they were all delicious!
Everyone stared at the lobster in a daze. For a moment, they forgot to escape.
It was only when the delicious-looking lobster opened its mouth and spat out a wave that drowned the entire royal family that the guards realized that the lobster wasn’t an ingredient in the supermarket, but the beast form of a Supreme Master!
Mo Yelou roared angrily. The flooded guards and servants were swept away by the seawater and appeared on the road outside the royal family in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the aura of experts suddenly came from the black hole under the Divination Tower!
It was the aura of hundreds of experts!
Mo Yelou’s pupils dilated. He suddenly shouted, “The Divine Moon Empire is in trouble. Please appear and save us!”
Mo Yelou’s voice resounded throughout Jingdu City.
Jingdu University, in the professor’s residential building.
An old professor in a fancy suit and a pair of silver-rimmed gla.s.ses quickly put down the chess piece in his hand and disappeared.
In the suburbs, in the Angel Orphanage.
An old lady was playing the piano for the children when she heard the emperor’s cry for help. The old lady disappeared from the piano.
Jingdu’s moat.
An old man in a straw hat and sandals was holding a broken boat and searching for the missing corpses. The next second, the fishing rod fell into the river, but the old man disappeared from the spot.
Trash disposal terminal.
An old man in a sanitation uniform had just poured the trash in the tricycle into the junkyard when he heard the emperor’s call. He frowned and took off his sunhat. He turned into a scavenger fish and ran towards the capital’s royal family.
As soon as Na Luo flew out of the Divination Tower, she saw a man in a custom-made suit and a crown standing on the fallen Divination Tower.
Na Luo recognized the man and a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes. Na Luo laughed mockingly and mocked him. “Your Majesty, you have to protect your crown!”
Mo Yelou frowned slightly.
Before reinforcements arrived, Mo Yelou was alone and helpless.
But he would never abandon his country and his people.
Mo Yelou reached out and took off the heavy and exquisite crown on his head.
The king of a country should not take off his crown under any circ.u.mstances.
But he took off his crown and picked up his sword.
Mo Yelou pointed his sharp sword at Na Luo. His gaze was calm and composed as he said, “If you want to hurt the citizens of the Divine Moon Empire, you have to step over my corpse!” There were clearly thousands of troops in front of him, but he didn’t show any fear.
Na Luo’s gaze flickered slightly as it gradually turned from disdain to respect and admiration.
“Alright, I’ll fulfill your wish!” Na Luo swung her fishtail, and a dark golden spiritual whip instantly appeared in his hand. Na Luo held the whip in her hand and lashed it at Mo Yelou. As she swung her wrist, the wind howled and thunder rumbled.
The lightning attached to the long whip, and the dark golden whip immediately added traces of purple-black lightning power.
“Dragon Subduing Whip!”
Under the Dragon Subduing Whip, everything would be destroyed.
Whether you were a prodigy or a dragon, you couldn’t escape!
The bloodline of a Divine Master flowed in the bodies of the ancient merfolk. They were innate powerhouses.
Na Luo’s Dragon Subduing Whip possessed the destructive power of a Divine Master, and Mo Yelou was only a Beast Tamer with the cultivation of a Supreme Master. Even if he mobilized all his spiritual power, he wouldn’t be able to withstand Na Luo’s attack.
Pa!
The long whip struck the lobster.
With a series of crackling sounds, the lobster’s hard back sh.e.l.l instantly shattered.
“Ah!”
Mo Yelou fell to the ground with serious injuries.
Seeing that Mo Yelou had lost his mobility, Na Luo stopped.
Sheng Yang had said before that Mo Yelou was a good king. Na Luo wouldn’t hurt the most respected king of the Divine Moon Empire.
Na Luo turned around and flew towards the Prosperous Capital with the thousand plus Beast Tamers behind her.
At this moment, four majestic and powerful spiritual fluctuations came from four different directions in Jingdu.
Na Luo stopped in her tracks.
Behind him, the thousand plus Beast Tamers also sensed this energy fluctuation. “Grand Masters! There are actually four more Grand Masters with high cultivation levels hidden in Jingdu!”
The Holy Spirit Continent had more than three hundred countries. The Divine Moon Empire was one of the four great countries. It wasn’t surprising that its capital had four Grand Master guardians.
In the blink of an eye, the four Grand Masters appeared in front of them.
The Grand Master standing to the north of Na Luo was wearing a three-piece suit and gla.s.ses. He didn’t look like a Grand Master Beast Tamer with combat strength, but more like a professor.
The old woman in the west was wearing a silk dress with a beige suit jacket and a pearl brooch on her chest. Her graceful aura couldn’t be concealed. She didn’t look like a Beast Tamer, but more like a national artist.
The old man on the east side of Na Luo was the most out of place one. He was wearing a sanitation worker’s uniform, a safety helmet on his head, and a pair of old canvas shoes. There was also a sweaty towel hanging around his neck.
Na Luo turned around and looked behind her. She saw an old man in sandals and a white vest standing behind her.
These were the four Grand Masters of the Divine Moon Empire.
One was a respected professor, one was a talented pianist, another was a sanitation worker who swept trash, and the last was a corpse hunter from the moat.
Among the four of them, it was obvious that the person who fished out corpses was the boss.
The old man took a step forward. He stared at Na Luo’s handsome face and said bluntly, “Merman! Leave the Divine Moon Empire quickly. Otherwise, we will kill you!”
The mission of the guardians was to use their lives to protect the Divine Moon Empire.
If Na Luo was willing to leave, they wouldn’t pester her.
Na Luo’s goal wasn’t the Divine Moon Empire, nor was it the Alliance. Her goal had always been the merfolk. Now, the merfolk only had Dino left. If she didn’t kill Dino, Na Luo would never let it rest.
She was just that stubborn.
At that moment, Na Luo smelled Dino’s aura. In that instant, Na Luo suddenly became menacing. “Dino!” Na Luo shouted towards the distant sky, “Dino, do you dare to fight me?!”
In the distance, Dino stopped in his tracks.
He lowered his head and looked down at the bustling cities below.
After a moment of silence, Dino nodded and said, “See you in the Broken Cliff!”
“Okay!”
Na Luo turned around and looked at the Beast Tamers behind her.
The Beast Tamers also looked at him.
“Everyone, good luck!”
With that, Na Luo tore through the s.p.a.ce and ran towards Broken Cliff.
At the same time, Sheng Lingfeng brought the Grand State Master and the old dean to Jingdu City.
On the Blood Peac.o.c.k Organization’s side, there were a total of 1,060 Beast Tamers. Among them, there were four Grand Masters, 200 Supreme Masters, and most of the remaining were Masters and Scholars.
On the Alliance’s side, there were three Prime Masters, a Purifying Spirit G.o.d, and a large number of Grand Masters and countless Supreme Masters.
The Blood Peac.o.c.k Organization would definitely lose against the Alliance.
If they were sensible, they should obediently put down their weapons and surrender.
But…
Giving up without a fight was cowardice!
An ugly Night Elf walked out from the Blood Peac.o.c.k team.
He had the same ugly appearance as all the Night Elves, but the difference was that he didn’t have wings. His wings had been broken.
Upon seeing the Night Elf, Princess Daiya immediately covered her mouth in shock. She couldn’t hide her shock as she shouted, “Third Brother!”
Princess Daiya was born into a n.o.ble family. Her father had six to seven wives. She was the eldest daughter with the most n.o.ble status, and the third brother in front of her was the illegitimate child her father had after a one-night stand with a Night Elf.
Her third brother was called Runo.
In the Purifying Spirit Language, Runo meant lowly and ugly.
It was obvious from the name Runo how much Daiya’s father disliked this illegitimate child.
Daiya remembered that the day her third brother died was the day she got married.
The marriage between Daiya and the Elven Prince was the most joyous occasion for the elves. That day, many high-ranking officials and n.o.bles came to Daiya’s house.
Daiya’s father despised how ugly Runo was, and his mother was a lowly Night Elf. He didn’t want Runo and his mother to embarra.s.s them, so he got a butler to lock them in the side building.
Although Runo’s mother was born lowly and was a Night Elf, she was very beautiful.
Daiya’s uncle, Arthurian, was a pervert. He had been coveting Runo’s mother for a long time. While Daiya was busy with her marriage, no one paid attention to the poor mother and son in the side building. The drunk Arthurian sneaked into the side building, tied up Runo, and raped Runo’s mother in front of him.
After the incident, Runo’s mother was too ashamed to face her son and slammed her head against the stone wall of the side building.
Runo stared at his mother’s bleeding forehead and those dead eyes. He was terrified. Runo glared at Arthurian with hatred. He wished he could kill him and tear him apart.
Arthurian hiccuped and pointed at Runo’s ugly face. He said, “You Night Elves were born to be slaves. She should feel honored that I was willing to bang her!”
With that, he stumbled out of the building.
When there was the beating of gongs and drums in the front yard to celebrate the marriage of the eldest daughter, Runo could only hug his mother’s corpse and howl in pain.
There was resentment in Runo’s heart. He forcefully opened the window and flew out. The moment his eldest sister got into the pumpkin carriage, he also shot a poisonous arrow into his uncle’s heart!
A lowly Night Elf had killed the Crown Princess’ uncle. Runo’s actions had angered the entire elven race.
On the night that Daiya and the Elven Prince consummated their marriage, Runo was also punished and tortured for killing a Light Elf.
They forcefully broke his wings and threw him into the darkest magic cave in the Light Sea.
The Magic Cave was where all the Night Elves were dumped after they died.
Runo laid in the demonic cave for an entire week. He was in pain and hungry. When Su Xuanye went to the demonic cave to purify spirits and met Runo, Runo had already become skin and bones due to hunger.
It was Su Xuanye who healed him, gave him food, and gave him a new life.
From then on, there was only one thought in Runo’s mind—
He wanted there to be no more Beast Tamers in the world!
He wanted the Light Elves to no longer be so high and mighty!
He wanted the Night Elves to never be slaves again!
As soon as Daiya met Luno’s stubborn gaze, she understood why he followed Su Xuanye.
Daiya advised Runo, “Runo, give up. You’re outnumbered. You can’t beat us.”
Runo shook his head and said, “Sis, I know that a Night Elf like me can’t topple the entire Light Elf race, nor can I change the lowly social status of the Night Elves. But the Peac.o.c.k King told me that there was once a great man who said—a spark can start a prairie fire.”
Runo’s eyes were filled with determination. He said, “I know that I alone am not enough to ignite this gra.s.sland, but I am willing to be the first burning star!”
Someone had to stake everything on faith!
With that, Runo suddenly attacked Daiya!
His wings could no longer fly, but his legs could still run!
When Daiya saw this, a look of pity flashed across her eyes, but she still counterattacked immediately.
The pure white wings on Daiya’s back suddenly spread out completely, as if an angel had descended. The broken-winged angel was like an ugly duckling in front of this holy angel.
However, the ugly duckling didn’t pause or hesitate for even a moment.
