Chapter 1689: Chapter 749: You’re Blind, Don’t Speak

The South Nether Emperor Zhan Hen raised his eyes to the sky; it was already deep into the night.

The sky was sparse with cold stars, under the refracted starlight, a solitary and proud figure appeared in the night sky.

The figure looked so immense, it seemed capable of overshadowing the entire sky.

Colder than the wind from high above, more ethereal than clouds.

Marquis Zhongyuan!

On the Ancient Nine Provinces, apart from the former Heavenly Fire Marquis Zhongyuan, who else could make the South Nether Emperor Zhan Hen feel this way?

Clearly with fifty thousand elite soldiers behind him, Zhan Hen still felt his limbs grow cold.

This feeling, Zhan Hen had not experienced it for an unknown duration.

In those past years, only one person had made Zhan Hen feel like this.

After that person’s death, Zhan Hen thought he would never feel this way again.

Hong Mingyue also felt the remote yet omnipresent terrifying pressure.

She glanced covertly, and upon seeing that silhouette above the night sky, her delicate body quivered, nearly losing composure.

Why did that back look so familiar?

Was it him, could it be him?

Hong Mingyue almost lost her composure; who else could that silhouette belong to but Zitang Su.

Why would Zitang Su come here? Wasn’t he supposed to stay at the Lonely Moon Sea?

Could it be that Zitang Su came because of Ye Lingyue?

This thought almost burned a hole in Hong Mingyue’s heart with jealousy, causing unbearable pain.

"Are you the Marquis Zhongyuan? I am the South Nether Emperor Zhan Hen. Today I’ve come not to deliberately break the alliance; I’ve come to take back my wife."

It took all of Zhan Hen’s effort to regain his ability to speak.

He never expected the Marquis Zhongyuan to truly be alive.

If he had known earlier, even just a whisper of wind, Zhan Hen would have never brazenly entered the Central Plains.

Having been the Demon Emperor for hundreds of years, Zhan Hen’s reaction was quick; his words had a dual meaning.

As long as the Marquis Zhongyuan lives, the alliance cannot be broken.

This means Zhan Hen cannot violate the territory of the Ancient Nine Provinces, similarly, unless Zhan Hen and the two Great Demon Kings genuinely invade the Ancient Nine Provinces, the Marquis Zhongyuan could not act directly against the Demon Clan.

"One person, two hours, leave."

As soon as Zhan Hen finished speaking, the figure in the sky merely left behind eight simple words.

No matter whether he was a Demon Emperor or anything else, in that person’s eyes, he was worthless.

One person?

Zhan Hen frowned, but he was quick-witted and realized after a brief consideration.

The Marquis Zhongyuan meant to allow only him to enter Tongtian Tribe; once he rescued Moonflower, he must immediately take her away.

This answer was indeed simple and crude.

Zhan Hen was dismissed in front of fifty thousand demon soldiers, yet he had no temper at all.

He waved his hand.

"Soldiers, hear my command, retreat thirty miles, leave the Demon World in two hours."

After saying that, Zhan Hen dared not say more, his figure instantly vanished, heading towards Tongtian Tribe.

The thought of Moonflower meeting Di Shen made Zhan Hen’s heart uneasy.

After so many years, even after becoming the Demon Emperor.

Yet when confronted with Di Shen, all of Zhan Hen’s confidence and pride turned into nothingness.

That man was born to counter him.

The demon soldiers received the military order and swiftly retreated.

Fifty thousand elite demon soldiers, gone in the blink of an eye like a receding tide, disappeared completely.

Under the dark night, only Hong Mingyue remained.

The cold wind blew from above, chilling Hong Mingyue unexpectedly.

How could she not have thought that Zhan Hen would abandon her here alone?

The silhouette in the void, like a majestic mountain, remained there.

Hong Mingyue sat on pins and needles, not knowing what to do.

On one hand, she feared Zitang Su, knowing the best course was to leave quietly.

On the other hand, Hong Mingyue yearned for Zitang Su to look at her, even if just one glance she would be satisfied.

Look at her?

Hong Mingyue suddenly remembered something and instinctively touched her face.

Since Xi Jiuye had mistakenly taken her for Ye Lingyue.

If Zitang Su truly liked Ye Lingyue, then upon seeing her face which somewhat resembled Ye Lingyue, wouldn’t he also be deceived?

"Lord Zitang, you... are you the Marquis Zhongyuan?"

Hong Mingyue gathered her courage to speak, but suddenly someone appeared in front of her... along with a bird.

Zitang Su and the Three Realms Eagle stood in the sky.

The Three Realms Eagle saw Hong Mingyue, was momentarily dazed, cooed twice, and displayed confusion in its eyes.

Why did this woman look so much like the Ye disciple?

"You’re blind, don’t speak."

Zitang Su squinted and glanced at the Three Realms Eagle.

The Three Realms Eagle’s eyes almost popped out.

Its owner was getting more outrageous, actually calling it blind?!

It was a rare Peng Roc Eagle of heavenly land, with vision capable of piercing the skies and ground!

Zitang Su couldn’t be bothered with the Three Realms Eagle’s little pretenses.

How could it resemble, uglier than his treasured disciple.

Lacking the eye size of his treasured disciple, the skin paler than his treasured disciple, her legs shorter, and a scent of a foul fox, imitating Eastern Maud with hideous, utterly.

I truly wish to burn this woman to ashes with fire.

Zitang Su felt uncomfortable with the woman’s lingering.

Suddenly, Zitang Su sensed something.

On Hong Mingyue’s body, he discovered faint traces of Divine Power.

Hong Mingyue was human, born from a demon clan refined body, how could she possibly bear Divine Power.

Moreover, this Divine Power was exceptional.

Zitang Su’s eyes narrowed, remembering something.

This strand of Divine Power came from Xi Jiuye.

It was when Xi Jiuye had entered Hong Mingyue’s body during that night.

That man, five hundred years later, still so foolish.

Zitang Su’s purple eyes dimmed, with this strand of Divine Power, the woman cannot die just yet.

This woman’s fate carried treachery, reborn as an ominous star, destined with Evil, especially among women with her bond, fated for death or serious harm.

Hong Mingyue saw Zitang Su suddenly gazing at her, his ethereal face seemed to show waves.

Hong Mingyue felt ecstatic, assuming Zitang Su genuinely took interest in her.

"Lord..."

Hong Mingyue shyly pleaded.

Zitang Su suddenly raised his hand, before his finger could touch Hong Mingyue, a cluster of dark fire fluttered like a moth, entering Hong Mingyue’s brow.

"Lord, spare me!"

Hong Mingyue’s beautiful eyes opened wide, terrified, fearing the power of Zitang Su’s Black Fire, thinking Zitang Su intended to kill her.

Yet as the Black Fire entered her brow, it vanished instantly.

Apart from Hong Mingyue shivering uncontrollably, nothing happened.

When Hong Mingyue opened her eyes again, Zitang Su had vanished.

Due to Zitang Su’s disappearance, the starlight covering the sky dimmed significantly.

Hong Mingyue broke into a cold sweat.

She thought briefly, then swiftly darted toward Tongtian Tribe.
