“Stop!” Suddenly, an outraged, familiar voice bellowed, making the whole crystal palace tremble.
“Qingjue!” Ling Chuxi looked around in surprise. Her calmness faded, replaced by excitement. He came! At every critical moment of life and death, he would always appear by her side. Warmth flooded her heart as she thought about it.
But when she saw the source of the voice, she was stunned. “Little White?! But how…”
Under the shining light of the crystals, Little White’s pure white figure started to grow larger, and within seconds, a familiar slender figure with long silver hair and mesmerizing eyes appeared in front of Ling Chuxi. It was just like meeting in a dream, but it was so real.
Although she had long suspected the connection between Little White and Huangfu Qingjue, Ling Chuxi was still in disbelief. After seeing Little White turn into Huangfu Qingjue right before her eyes, Ling Chuxi was so surprised that she couldn’t speak, and even forgot to break the seal of the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridians.
It all made sense… When Little White appeared, Huangfu Qingjue disappeared. When Huangfu Qingjue appeared, Little White disappeared. Also Huangfu Qingjue was always so confident that Little White would return! Thinking back about this, all her doubts disappeared.
Little White was Huangfu Qingjue, and Huangfu Qingjue was Little White!!
“I said stop!” Huangfu Qingjue roared, the long sword in his hand slashing out at the demonic blade of Gongxi Kuangdao.
Silver light and blood-colored fog collided fiercely, erupting like flames on a snowy night. The sword sliced through the air and slashed at Gongxi Kuangdao’s chest, drawing a flaming star.
Gongxi Kuangdao groaned and staggered back a few steps. A crack appeared in his chest armor, but he was not injured.
Ling Chuxi couldn’t help but be surprised. She had seen Huangfu Qingjue’s strength on several occasions—even powerful monster beasts could turn into nothing with a single strike of his. What exactly was Gongxi Kuangdao’s armor made of? It could actually withstand such a fierce attack from Huangfu Qingjue!
“Who are you?” Gongxi Kuangdao glanced down at the crack on his armor, looking even more surprised than Ling Chuxi. This was the ancestral treasured armor of the Gongxi clan that even a divine weapon with refined gold and silver could not necessarily dent. However, this mysterious man had actually managed to cut it open!
“Huangfu Qingjue,” Huangfu Qingjue drawled nonchalantly.
“Huangfu… You are the descendant of the Divine clan! Why are you here?” Gongxi Kuangdao exclaimed in disbelief, looking at Huangfu Qingjue in shock.
The Divine clan? What did that mean? Ling Chuxi blinked, dumbfounded. Why did this man say Qingjue was a member of the Divine clan? What was Qingjue’s true identity? Gongxi clan, Divine clan… what did it all mean? Were they all ancient clans? Were these people from the Gongxi clan really sealed in another world? There were too many questions in her mind right now.
“If you don’t want to die, go back to wherever you came from now!” Huangfu Qingjue barked, looking at him coldly.
Gongxi Kuangdao seemed to hesitate, but shortly after, a smile of relief appeared on his face.
“When did the descendants of the Divine Clan become so soft-hearted?” Gongxi Kuangdao said with a mocking smile. “I’m guessing you can’t display your true cultivation at all… can you?”
