Chapter 298: Chapter 299: United as One (Part 1)
Nangong Zi Feng bellowed angrily, instantly covering the sky with countless icy crystals. With her longsword dancing, a chilling blizzard barrelled towards Mu Ruyue with a thunderous roar…
At that moment, the entire world transformed into a realm of ice and snow.
Yet, the pure snowflakes failed to conceal the blood stains and filth of the world…
Nangong Zi Feng had gone mad, jealousy gnawing viciously at her heart. Every time she thought about that couple’s affectionate display, she felt an urge to destroy heaven and earth.
“Mu Ruyue, you are not worthy of Brother Wuchen!”
Nangong Zi Feng, with gritted teeth, watched the emotionless girl within the storm with cold eyes.
Mu Ruyue gently lifted her hand, grasping a longsword in the palm of her hand. Whoosh! A red flame ignited on the blade, spreading to envelop her body, transforming her entire being into a fiery figure that soared into the sky…
Madam Sheng Yue was shocked and distraught, her body slamming against the barrier as tears streamed down her exquisite face, “Elder Xiao, please let us out. Yue’er is in danger!”
Elder Xiao shook his head with a bitter smile. Once the barrier was activated, it couldn’t be opened until the set time, leaving him powerless…
Madam Sheng Yue bit her lip, trembling slightly as desperation filled her eyes, pain etched on her face as she watched the young girl caught in the raging wind.
“My husband, Yue’er, my Yue’er… No, I must save Yue’er. No one is allowed to hurt my Yue’er!” Madam Sheng Yue suddenly stood up, her body brutally crashing against the barrier, which then emitted a burst of energy, flinging her away.
Yet, as though she felt no pain, she got up and charged at it again…
Xiao Tianyu did not try to stop Madam Sheng Yue. He drew his sword and walked determinedly to his wife’s side, his eyes filled with deep love, “Yu’er, let’s break through together and help Yue’er.”
Their daughter was fighting outside, and how could they, as her parents, hide behind the barrier? Even in death, they would not let Nangong Zi Feng harm her…
Madam Sheng Yue nodded tearfully, having owed her daughter so much, she vowed to spend her life making it up to her…
“Everyone, let’s fight together!” Old Master Xiao rallied, sweeping his arm with a loud cry, “As members of the Xiao Family, we share in both glory and loss. Now that the Xiao Family faces a crisis, how can we hide here and let a teenage girl face such danger alone? Are we still fit to be called the Xiao Family’s elders? Perhaps some of you hold grudges, but at this moment, I hope everyone can put aside past resentments and face this formidable enemy together! I believe that if the Xiao Family unites as one, there is nothing we can’t overcome!”
Whether it was the Xiao Family elders, the ordinary clansmen, or the young disciples, upon hearing Old Master Xiao’s words, they couldn’t help but raise their heads, their once-despairing eyes now shimmering with a glint of hope.
The Family Head was right; the Xiao Family was facing a formidable enemy. Doing nothing would only lead to death, but fighting could offer a slim chance of survival.
Moreover, how could they allow a young girl to face a powerful foe alone while they hid? It went against their honor…
