Chapter 1005 The Danger of Mount Shu
“Sister Sect Master, the city is about to collapse, and the situation is unfavorable to us. The Left and Right Guardians of Rules have sent a message asking you to leave quickly. The pa.s.sage left by Mr. Li can still be used. If you delay any longer, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave.”
In White Emperor City, the maid, Little Peach, was trying to persuade the Chieftain.
Outside the city, the flames of war raged, and cries could be heard everywhere.
Half a year ago, another war broke out on the Bitter Star, and the flames of war spread outside White Emperor City.
This time, the enemy was a force from outer s.p.a.ce, known as the Divine Chaos Dynasty. It was terrifying. After landing on the Bitter Star, it joined forces with the enemies of Mount Shu, the remaining forces of the Three Grand Sword Sects, the Four-city Alliance, and the other forces that had revived. Then the Divine Chaos Dynasty asked the Sword Sect of Mount Shu to submit. After it was rejected, the war lasted for half a year.
Now, the Sword Sect of Mount Shu had suffered heavy losses and was in imminent danger.
Long Wu, the head of the Dragon King Ridge, died in battle.
The chief of the Sky-overlooking Pavilion died in battle.
The Young Master, Qinjian of Moon in the Flowing Water, died in the battle.
Wuming, the Knife Hut servant of the Was.h.i.+ng Dao Sect, had died in battle.
The old lady of the Was.h.i.+ng Dao Sect was seriously injured.
Some famous masters and experts of the past had died in battle.
The battle was so fierce that it was hard to describe it with words.
Now, the disciples of the Sword Sect of Mount Shu could only stay in White Emperor City and rely on the tactical deployment left by the Green Lotus Sword Whiz and Li Mu to protect themselves. However, they could only defend the inner city. The large cities and eleven lines of defense outside had already been breached.
The enemies from outer s.p.a.ce were powerful, and some of them were wardcasters proficient in tactical deployments. The inner city of White Emperor City could not hold on for long, and the Immortal Qi of Green Lotus was about to be used up. The source crystals that Li Mu had left were also about to run out.
Once the tactical deployment stopped operating, the Sword Sect of Mount Shu would be destroyed.
Ye Wuhen, the current Sword Chief of the Sword Sect of Mount Shu, was an outstanding female martial arts expert. She was famous on the Bitter Star and was also known as the most beautiful woman in the Zones around. At this time, she was standing at the gate of the Temple of Mount Shu, overlooking the scene of the war.
Shouts and roars sounded loud. There were the shrill screams of creatures before they died, all kinds of chaotic, horrible auras of power, True Energy, smells of demons, Corpse Qi, and Devil Qi.
“All the prosperity is as transient as fleeting clouds. No sects or dynasties can exist in this world forever. I didn’t expect the disaster of Mount Shu would come so soon!”
There was no joy or sadness on Ye Wuhen’s face.
The desperate situation was imminent. This queen of the Bitter Star, the peerless female Sword Whiz of Mount Shu, was calmer than people had imagined.
She looked up at the sky, and a person’s figure flashed through her mind.
That person had once descended like a heavenly deity, saved the Sword Sect of Mount Shu, ended the rule of the nine forces of the so-called Decent Alliance, and saved her. Unfortunately, he left like a gust of wind. This world could not keep him. He was like a dragon not attached to this planet. He descended and left like a diety and disappeared into the planets.
She couldn’t keep him, too.
Even the most beautiful, n.o.ble, and outstanding woman on this planet couldn’t stop him from leaving, even if they had gotten married.
His name shook the entire Ziwei Star Zone.
His broadsword had killed countless strong enemies.
Even now, his story was popular in this universe.
Countless creatures on the Bitter Star wors.h.i.+pped him as if he were a deity.
She had thought countless times about leaving this planet and finding him.
But as long as she thought about how to face him, what to say, and what to do when they met again, it seemed that she couldn’t say anything or do anything. It was better to miss him than to meet him.
She stood guard over a city, waiting for him.
If time pa.s.sed quietly, perhaps she would wait like this until her hair turned gray and all her teeth had fallen out. Ye Wuhen didn’t know if she would meet that person again in the end.
Waiting was both torture and a kind of happiness to her.
That was because she was not alone. Her son accompanied her.
“Mom, I’m a little scared.”
He was a cute little boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked quite heroic. There was still a childish look between his eyebrows. However, his face was quite similar to that man from back then.
The little boy held Ye Wuhen’s hand and said timidly.
A hint of tenderness appeared on Ye Wuhen’s face.
“Sili, don’t be afraid. If your father were here, he could make all these bad guys disappear in a breath.” She squatted down, stroked the little boy’s delicate face, and said, “Remember, there is the blood of a hero flowing in your body. Your father is an immortal standing high in the sky. Don’t be afraid. Be as brave as your father!”
“Okay.” The little boy, Ye Sili, nodded in confusion.
Then, he asked, “Mom, who is my father? Why hasn’t he come to see us yet?”
Ye Wuhen smiled, kissed her son’s forehead, and said, “He is a great hero, so he has more important things to do. He is very busy and has no time to come back. When he wipes out the darkness in the universe, he will come to you. Sili, don’t blame him. When you see him, remember to call him Dad, okay?”
“Okay.” Ye Sili nodded obediently and tried his best to pretend to be sensible.
He didn’t want his mother to be sad.
The child was childish after all. When he heard the shouts outside getting closer and closer, he said, “Mom, Grandpa Long, Grandpa Wuming, and Auntie Qinjian are all dead. Grandma is also seriously injured and in a coma. Those bad guys are about to come in. Will we die soon? If we die, what if Dad comes back and can’t see us? He will be anxious and sad.”
When the maid, Little Peach, heard that, she almost burst into tears.
Everyone knew why the Chieftain hadn’t married all these years and who she had been waiting bitterly for.
Would that person come back?
“Sili won’t die. You’re going to find Dad.” Ye Wuhen kissed her son’s cheek with tears in her eyes.
She held her son tightly in her arms as if embracing the whole world. She didn’t want the little boy to see her tears, so she wiped away the tears on her cheeks. Then she whispered, “Sili, go to sleep. Have a good sleep. When you wake up, you will see Dad. In the future, you must listen to Dad and tell him that Mom misses him very much.”
The little boy, Ye Sili, fell asleep in his mother’s arms.
She made him sleep with a special method.
Ye Wuhen kissed her son’s forehead reluctantly, handed him to her maid, Little Peach, and said, “Go with Junior Chief through that pa.s.sage and take him to the Heavenly Land to find his father.”
Little Peach was shocked and asked, “Are you not leaving, Sister Sect Master?”
Ye Wuhen shook her head and said, “I’ve been missing him and waiting for him all these years. Although I’m the Chieftain of Mount Shu, I’m not the one who really supported Mount Shu. Uncle Long and the others have contributed the most. Now, they’ve died to protect White Emperor City. Some people are still fighting outside. I’m not a good Sect Master. I’ve let down the disciples of Mount Shu because of my personal affairs. Now that Mount Shu was about to collapse, will I still be a human being if I abandon them and leave?”
“But…” Little Peach was shocked and anxious. She subconsciously held the sleeping Junior Chief in her arms, not knowing how to persuade her.
“As the Chieftain, I have to bear the responsibility. Today, I won’t leave. I will fight with all the disciples of Mount Shu to the end. If our sect is destined to be killed today, I will be the last Chieftain to die in the war.”
She had a sharp Sword Intent, firm will, and sharp eyes.
The female devil of the Was.h.i.+ng Dao Sect, who had dominated the Bitter Star and made the disciples of the nine major forces of the Decent Alliance tremble with fear upon hearing her name, seemed to have returned at this moment.
“Chieftain, I won’t leave. I won’t leave you.” Little Peach also cried.
Ye Wuhen touched the maid’s head with a smile and said, “Little Peach, leave here. You must live with Sili. Sometimes, living requires more courage than death. Over the years, although we are a master and a servant, we are actually like real sisters. I’m very relieved to hand Sili over to you.”
Little Peach just shook her head and cried sadly.
Ye Wuhen snapped, “Do you want me to kneel and beg you?”
“No, I…” Little Peach was heartbroken. In the end, she gritted her teeth and turned around, saying, “Sister, don’t worry. I will definitely find that person with Sili. I will bring him to save you and Mount Shu. Sister, you and everyone else must hold on.”
She turned around and left.
Ye Wuhen’s eyes looked sad and beautiful.
Then she turned around, went to the window, and took off the Moon-scrubbing Broadsword from the weapon rack.
The body of the machete was bright, reflecting a beautiful face.
Just at this time, someone spoke.
“Ha… The Sword Sect of Mount Shu, known as the supreme sect on the Bitter Star, is just so-so. White Emperor City will be destroyed today. I heard that Ye Wuhen, the Sword Chief of Mount Shu, is known as the most beautiful woman in the Zone. If you are willing to take the initiative to enslave yourself, I will spare Mount Shu’s fate of destruction. What do you think of it?”
An evil and overbearing voice sounded.
The voice came from outside White Emperor City. The sound waves were as loud as thunder. It had broken through the defensive tactical deployment of White Emperor City. The terrifying ripples caused the disciples of Mount Shu in the city to feel dizzy and bleed in their ears.
“Prince Heaven-devouring!”
Ye Wuhen’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
She knew this was the voice of the enemy’s leader, a terrifying expert known as a prince.
He had risen to prominence in the Ziwei Star Zone, swept through all parties, and established a huge force called the Divine Chaos Dynasty. Wherever he went, the place would be scorched and many races would be destroyed. Many sects had been wiped out. His means were domineering, cruel, and overbearing. It was said there was an awakened great emperor supporting the Divine Chaos Dynasty.
Ye Wuhen rushed out of the temple as fast as a bolt of lightning.
“Disciples of Mount Shu, follow me to kill the enemies.”
Ye Wuhen’s voice resounded through the entire White Emperor City.
The light of the Moon-scrubbing Broadsword broke through the energy turbulence like the pouring water of the Heavenly River.
Ye Wuhen went ahead and rushed into the battlefield.
In the sky, a figure shrouded in Primeval Qi stared fixedly at Ye Wuhen.
“Ha… You are indeed the most beautiful woman in the Zone. You are really peerless. There will be one more female slave under my crotch. Ha…”
