Chapter 326 Reunion
“The Dragon-locking Array is the greatest invention of our ancestors. Since ancient times, the enemy has launched countless attacks, but they have been repeatedly frightened by the Dragon-locking Array. Some bold men who entered the array were burned to death. So don’t worry!” the grand elder said with a cold smile, his eyes full of cattiness!
“Grand elder is right. We don’t have to worry. Moreover, that young man is so formidable. If we let him off, he may become the enemy of our race, and we may be in trouble. Why don’t we cut the Gordian knot and kill all three of them at once?” another elder spoke softly.
Others all agreed. The grand elder smiled and was in a good mood. “Of course. The three are all imposing and talented, and presumably, they will become big potatoes in the future. We must kill them now. We cannot let them grow.”
Hearing that, the crowd cheered.
After all, they had suffered too much and thus had nursed a grievance against the three. As the Dragon Race in remote antiquity, they were bullied by a junior and even had no strength to resist. It was a disgrace to their family in front of everyone.
“After finishing off the three, we must kill everyone in Ice City so that what happened to us today will not spread,” the grand elder said indifferently, and his eyes sparkled with ruthless light!
It was about their face, so of course, it couldn’t be spread. Once the news leaked out, how could the Demon Dragon Race possibly have dignity?
So to prevent this kind of situation from happening, they had to kill all the people who had appeared in Ice City today!
“Hahaha, watch your mouth! Want to kill us all? Are you a bunch of bedbugs capable of doing that?” A lazy laugh rang out in front of the grand elder.
Before the person arrived, the voice was heard. The crowd was astounded. Suddenly, three people appeared before their eyes. They were Hua Qiyue, Tianpi, and Tianci!
Looking around, Hua Qiyue found herself standing in an array. She could not help but twitch her mouth.
“Back! You guys step aside and let me deal with them!” the grand elder shouted coldly. The crowd looked at each other, and finally, according to his words, they withdrew from the array.
The array hadn’t started yet. It was an array that the grand elder had set up previously. As soon as the three of them arrived, he began to operate it.
“Hmph, insolent young wretches, today will be the day of your death!” the grand elder snorted.
But when he saw Hua Qiyue, he turned pale and took a sudden step back!
Hua Qiyue had turned her back on him previously, and of course, he could not see her face. Now, when the grand elder saw her, he felt nothing but fright, anger, and fear. But on second thought, he guessed that she might not be that one?
Yes, the appearance of Peach Fairy was drawn more than ten thousand years ago by the Eight-horned Demon Dragon. He had been telling his offspring not to mess with her easily.
Because the Eight-horned Demon Dragon knew that Peach Fairy was a gifted person. He had calculated that she would live a long time, but he had not thought of what would happen next.
The Eight-horned Demon Dragon of that time was dead, and his descendants obeyed his will. But to the grand elder’s generation, a lecherous elder had coveted the portrait of Peach Fairy long ago. So, one night, he took down the portrait to enjoy and caress without authorization.
He hadn’t expected patrolmen to come all of a sudden. Startled, he tore the portrait.
He was afraid of being found out, so he stole the painting and burned it.
As a result, the portrait of Tao Xian’er had been destroyed since the grand elder’s generation, and their descendants had never seen her portrait. Even if the grand elder had had her portrait repainted, it would have been so unrecognizable, for it wasn’t alike in spirit or appearance.
At first sight of Hua Qiyue, the grand elder was appalled!
Because Hua Qiyue and Tao Xian’er in those days looked exactly the same!
But the grand elder recovered his normal look at once. After all, the world was so big that there were people who looked like each other. Tao Xian’er was dead long ago. They learned the news only after her portrait had been destroyed.
“Hurry up if you want to fight. You’re too long-winded!” Tianpi snorted, “yo, what kind of array is this? It truly widens my horizon!”
“Haha, insolent young wretches, although you are talented, ordinary people cannot escape from this Dragon-locking Array. Enjoy your dying enthusiasm!”
After saying that, the grand elder suddenly bit the index finger of his left hand and dripped blood into the array. At the same time, he flew away!
Tianci glanced at the Dragon-locking Array and sighed softly. “Trying to trap us with this lousy array? Hmph!” …
Hua Qiyue curved her lips lightly. This kind of trifling kill was indeed a piece of cake for her. But it may be harder for Tianci.
But his expression showed that he was very dismissive of the Dragon-locking Array. After all, generally, Qi Artists who had learned runes had several general methods to tackle large arrays made of crystals.
“How dare you bully my wife and son!”
Suddenly, a strange and yet familiar voice sounded. The array was just about to start. The grand elder stopped, but he saw a figure flash in the array. With a wave of his sleeve, the man destroyed the array that was about to start at one stroke with a dull sound.
The rebounding force of the array hit the grand elder. He spurted a mouthful of blood, stepped back several steps, and stared in horror at the man in black, who appeared suddenly.
The black-robed man looked handsome, like a jade tree in the wind. He puckered his lips slightly, and his deep outline was regal.
His masculine beauty eclipsed all things else in this world. Even the devilishly handsome Tianpi was outshined by the elegance of the man in the black robe.
“You… who are you?”
Tianpi was mighty, but the newcomer was even mightier. What was worse, he was on Hua Qiyue’s side!
Hua Qiyue’s heart ached suddenly. It had been two and a half years since she had seen his back again. But why couldn’t she let go?
After all, she was an ordinary woman who strictly adhered to women’s ethics in her previous life. She was defiled on her wedding night, and Zhou Zhicheng hated her for it, and after that, he abused Tianci madly!
In any case, she could not accept the man who had defiled her in her previous life.
“Dad! Hahaha, daddy is coming! Daddy’s here!” When Tianci saw Yun Shimo, he jumped up with excitement, clapped his small hands, and screamed.
Hua Qiyue’s heart sank. Tianci must miss Yun Shimo a lot. After all, they had been apart for two and a half years. Sometimes in Tianci’s sleep, Hua Qiyue could hear him call Yun Shimo’s name.
“Elder!”
“Grand elder!” several elders said unwillingly.
The members of the Demon Dragon Race hurried over to their grand elder and watched in shock as Yun Shimo suddenly appeared. The array, which even the grand elder had faith in, was destroyed by the man in the black robe with a single move.
It was true that there was always someone better than you!
“Run!” the grand elder shouted hoarsely. He had come to understand that there was no chance of winning even if all of them tried to kill Yun Shimo or one of the three.
“Grand elder!” several elders said unwillingly.
But before the grand elder could leave, Tianpi approached them silently. The anima energy in his hand had turned into a sword, taking all lives away in an instant!
Tianpi did it very cleanly. The anima energy mixed with the five elements of fire, so that all the bodies of the dead turned into ashes in an instant.
Yun Shimo pursed his lips unhappily. He had planned to do it himself. But as he looked at Tianci and Hua Qiyue, he was distracted.
The Hare and the Man-Hunting Insect appeared as well. The Hare heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of Hua Qiyue. “Girl, if we can’t find you, we’ll be dead tired. Whoop!”
Hua Qiyue was amused. The Hare had shown its true body—a handsome man. He had regained his strength. Although he had not gone very far, he was shouting that he was tired.
Tianci had run to Yun Shimo and held him tight. “Daddy, why are you here so late? I miss you so much!”
Yun Shimo crouched down, hugging Tianci tightly. He stroked Tianci’s inky hair carefully. Tianci was his natural son!
But he had never raised him, nor given him any warmth or help when he needed it.
He wasn’t at her side when Rong Qiyue was tortured to death by the princess’s men!
Tianci… Qiyue… They were the ones he loved the most and also the people he owed the most. In any case, he would never leave them again since then!
“Daddy, daddy… Why did it take you so long to come to us? Mom won’t let me mention you, but I know she misses you a lot!” Tianci whispered in Yun Shimo’s ear.
Yun Shimo’s whole body froze, and his eyes turned red. “Tianci, I feel guilty for you and your mom!”
Tianci was confused. At this time, Hua Qiyue was striding forward to pull Tianci and Yun Shimo apart.
“Mom…” Tianci looked timidly at Hua Qiyue’s long face, and he distinctly sensed her anger.
Hua Qiyue pulled Tianci away and stepped back in silence. “Yun Shimo, what are you doing here? I don’t want to see you!”
Hua Qiyue’s tempers flared. Tianpi glanced at Tianci, evidently considering his feelings.
If Tianpi had not considered Tianci’s feelings, he would have long beaten Yun Shimo black and blue.
Hua Qiyue’s chest heaved violently. She bit her cherry lips and repressed her complicated emotions. They hadn’t seen each other for two and a half years. This man looked quite gaunt, but his strength seemed to have increased a lot.
“Mom, why don’t you like Dad so much? Dad did something wrong, didn’t he? But you’ve given me a chance when I’ve done something wrong before. Why don’t you just give daddy a chance?”
Tianci did not understand what had happened and pleaded in a low voice.
Hua Qiyue looked at the red-eyed Tianci. He wished Yun Shimo could stay. She, however, didn’t want to go too far in front of him.
It was, after all, bad to influence her child.
Hua Qiyue gritted her teeth. Yun Shimo stared at her quietly, his eyes bloodshot.
Standing not far away, Tianpi clenched his fists and tried to suppress his anger and impulse.
Sun Moon Deity walked over and hit him with his palm head-on. Tianpi was startled. “Have you recovered your strength?”
“Of course. If I haven’t regained my strength, how can I emerge in my true body?”
“Ha, you can’t fool me. Your true body is neither a hare nor a human being. You are merely a long-necked bird!” Tianpi smiled lazily. Sun Moon Deity was so angry that he smacked him again. Tianpi fended off the attack again.
But then Sun Moon Deity used 90 percent of his strength so that Tianpi had to pay attention to his attack. Tianpi leaped into the air and left the spot for tens of miles.
Sun Moon Deity followed him closely.
At this very moment.
Hua Qiyue sighed gently. “Tianci, you can’t understand what has happened between us…”
“Mom, give Dad a chance, please!”
