Eternal Sacred King

Falling Out

Translator: Legge

Master?

Mistress?

Mu Lian looked at Carefree in confusion. “Isn’t your master Fellow Daoist Su Zhu?”

“C-Cough.”

Carefree was quick-witted and reacted extremely quickly. He coughed gently and said seriously, “This is also my master…”

Those words were not lies.

Even if Mu Lian pursued this matter in the future, he would not be in the wrong either.

Mu Lian’s heart skipped a beat as she came to a realization and thought to herself, ‘I must have been confused because I was too nervous.’

It was normal for cultivators like them to acknowledge multiple masters in the cultivation world.

This master of Carefree was extremely different from Su Zhu in terms of aura, cultivation realm and attire.

Furthermore, Su Zhu did not have a Dao Companion.

Therefore, Mu Lian did not link the two of them at all.

“Master, Mistress, when did you guys arrive?”

Carefree leaned forward and asked with a smile.

“Not long ago.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body looked at Carefree and nodded.

When the Martial Dao Prime Body heard Carefree mention how he missed him and Beiming Xue, he felt a sense of warmth as well.

Die Yue pondered for a moment before taking out a ring and handing it to Carefree. “There are some things in this Dragon Fang Ring. However, you can only open it after you advance to the Grotto-heaven realm.”

Just as Carefree was about to extend his hand, he seemed to have thought of something and looked at the Martial Dao Prime Body.

After the Martial Dao Prime Body nodded in acknowledgment, he received it happily and wore it on his finger.

The ring was made of a special material and was extremely hard. It was filled with mysterious patterns.

Carefree could not sense it yet and the Martial Dao Prime Body could naturally tell that the value of the Dragon Fang Ring did not merely lie in the treasures inside.

Thereafter, Die Yue waved at Mu Lian.

Mu Lian hurried forward and bowed to the Martial Dao Prime Body and Die Yue politely. “Greetings, seniors.”

“I’ll give you this Huang Bone Hairpin as a small greeting gift.”

Die Yue took out another crystalline fiery red jade hairpin and handed it to Mu Lian.

From its name, it was evident that this was forged from the bones of the Divine Huang. It was clear how precious this jade hairpin was!

“This… gift is too expensive.”

Mu Lian rejected hurriedly.

“Take it, this is Mistress’ gift for us.”

Carefree helped Mu Lian take it and inserted it into her hair.

It was unknown if it was because she was shy or because of the reflection of the jade hairpin, but Mu Lian’s face was flushed red and she was charmingly beautiful.

Mu Lian could roughly guess that the gift that Carefree’s mistress gave her was not just because it was their first time meeting.

More than that, it was because of her relationship with Carefree.

“Seniors, I’ll get my Master here now. Please rest here for a while.”

Mu Lian left with a red face.

In her heart, these two were the elders of her and Carefree. She should have elders from her side show up as well so that it would not seem rude.

After taking a few steps, Mu Lian slapped her forehead gently and turned around, asking, “Seniors, I didn’t get your names…”

“I’m Desolate Martial.”

“My name is Die Yue.”

“Oh.”

Mu Lian replied and repeated it a few times in her heart before turning to leave.

Desolate Martial. She seemed to have heard that name somewhere before.

Flower World.

Mu Lian headed to Immortal Queen You Lan’s cave abode but could not find any traces of her. Then, she headed all the way to Centaurea Hall and obtained some information there.

All these years, the Blood World had invaded the Flower World repeatedly and gradually devoured its territory.

If not for the fact that the Blood World had to send a portion of their troops to participate in the Battle of the Dragons and Phoenixes as well, the Flower World would not have been able to defend against the attacks of the Blood World and would have long been annexed!

The Flower World was only a greater world after all and only had four Emperor experts.

A few days ago, the Flower World Lord and the other three Emperors brought a group of Kings to the battlefield of the two worlds to try to negotiate peace with the Blood World.

Immortal Queen You Lan was one of them and they had yet to return.

Mu Lian could only wait patiently here.

“The World Lord appeared personally this time round with full sincerity. Do you think the peace talks will succeed?”

“I’m not sure. I heard that the true main force of the Blood World is in the Dragon World and the Blood World Lord is supervising the battle there. If the Battle of the Dragons and Phoenixes ends and the main force of the Blood World returns, we definitely won’t be able to defend.”

“Previously, there was news that the Dragon World was defeated repeatedly and could no longer hold on.”

“The World Lord and the others also realized this and wanted to make peace as soon as possible. If they wait for the Blood World Lord to return before making peace, they won’t have the slightest chance.”

Mu Lian stood by Centaurea Hall and listened to the discussions of many clansmen, secretly worried about the future of the Flower World.

Two hours.

Four hours…

Six hours later, there was still no news.

Mu Lian could not wait any longer and prepared to return to Green Lotus Star first to settle the two seniors and let them stay here for a few more days.

Right then, a violent fluctuation sounded from above Centaurea Hall!

The void split open and a group of figures fell out one after another, emitting a strong blood stench instantly.

Everyone’s expressions changed starkly when they saw that!

The people who landed in Centaurea Hall were the Flower World Lord and the others.

Including the Flower World Lord, they were more or less injured and looked extremely terrible.

“World Lord!”

Many Flower World cultivators exclaimed.

Mu Lian saw Immortal Queen You Lan inside at a glance and hurriedly ran over as well, shouting worriedly, “Master, how are you?”

When she saw Mu Lian, Immortal Queen You Lan’s heart relaxed, as though she had let go of a burden. She forced a smile and said, “I’m fine. We merely fought those people from the Blood World head-on a few times.”

“What’s going on? Did you not manage to negotiate?”

Mu Lian asked.

Immortal Queen You Lan sighed and nodded. “Initially, the negotiations were quite smooth. Unexpectedly, the Blood World Lord and the main force of the Blood World suddenly returned and the Blood World immediately turned hostile.”

“The return of the Blood World Lord means that the Battle of the Dragons and Phoenixes is over?”

Mu Lian asked.

“It should be. The Dragon World is doomed.”

Immortal Queen You Lan said, “I just don’t know what happened in the Blood World. The moment the Blood World Lord returned, his expression darkened. He seemed enraged and wanted to vent his frustration on us, ordering a full- scale attack like a madman. He wants to destroy us within three days!”

“When the World Lord saw that the situation was not right, he hurriedly brought us back before the other party could surround us.”

Mu Lian’s face was pale as she stood there in a daze, as though she could not accept such a huge impact for the time being.

Immortal Queen You Lan took a deep breath and said, “On the way back, I’ve been worried about you. After all, Green Lotus Star is at the edge of the territory of the Flower World. If the Blood World attacks in full force, Green Lotus Star will be the first to bear the brunt and might be destroyed immediately.”

“I was only relieved when I saw you in Centaurea Hall.”

When Mu Lian heard that, she seemed to have thought of something and finally reacted. Her expression changed drastically and she cried out, “This is bad!”

“It’s fine.”

Immortal Queen You Lan comforted, “We still have some time. We can escape with the remaining Flower World clansmen and avoid the Blood World.”

Mu Lian grabbed Immortal Queen You Lan’s arm instinctively and said with a trembling voice, “C-Carefree is still on Green Lotus Star!”

“Huh?”

Immortal Queen You Lan frowned and asked, “Didn’t he come with you?”

“No.”

Mu Lian shookher head repeatedly with an anxious expression. “His master and mistress just arrived not long ago and Carefree is accompanying them over there.”

“Fellow Daoist Su Zhu?”

Immortal Queen You Lan’s heart sank as she hurriedly asked.

“No.”

Mu Lian said, “It’s Carefree’s other master. From the looks of it, he should have a Grotto-heaven realm cultivation. Carefree’s mistress is a very nice person and even gave us two gifts.”

As she said that, Mu Lian removed the Huang Bone Hairpin from her head.
