Chapter 1059: The Heart Is Not Dead

“Boom!”

Intense fighting sounds came from in front. It seemed that Aunt Bai, who rushed out first, had met with obstruction.

“Haha! My Brother Mo is indeed someone to do great things. No wonder he did not wait to kidnap the Holy Daughter together with me. It turned out that he wanted to do it alone.”

Yi Ling and Chu Yang squinted and looked. They saw four unruly and domineering men giving off evil auras, attacking together and actually managing to block Aunt Bai.

Although Aunt Bai was suppressing the four with her strong aura, she could not struggle free from the four’s pestering immediately.

When Chu Yang saw the person who had spoken, he revealed a grave expression. “Ba Tu!”

Yi Ling’s face sank as he said in a frosty voice, “How courageous! The descendants of the thirteen great bandits of the Black Sea are truly lawless and fearless. They actually dare to behave atrociously at the Treasure Master’s residence.”

“Brothers, let’s go!”

Seeing the experts of the Treasure Master’s residence approaching, Ba Tu laughed heartily and led the rest away.

Working together, the four each tossed out a Peak Grade Astral Core. The Astral Cores exploded in the air, and horrifying energy surged out, lighting up the entire Treasure Master’s residence and forcing all the experts, including Aunt Bai, to retreat.

When the light dispersed, the people from the Black Sea were no longer there. The few of them gathered, exchanging looks with each other.

People ran out of the hall one after another. After figuring out the situation, their minds all went blank.

These people were unable to accept the fact that the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter had been abducted before everyone’s eyes.

There was nothing more absurd than this. Where exactly did this Mo Yun come from? Why did he kidnap the Holy Daughter for no apparent reason at all?

“Senior Bai, as this matter occurred in the Treasure Master’s residence, Yi Ling is willing to shoulder all the responsibility. I will bring the Holy Daughter back unharmed within three days.”

Yi Ling was rather impressive, his words radiating strong self-confidence.

Aunt Bai thought of a possibility. She said indifferently, “I am very clear on who your grandfather is. I also can completely trust the power of the Treasure Master’s residence in Ten Thousand Treasure City.

“However, for this matter, I ask that you do nothing. The Lunar Palace will not randomly take their anger out on others.”

After Aunt Bai said that, her figure flashed and disappeared from where she was.

Yi Ling sank into deep thought. The Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter had been searching for doctors for the past few years. This time, she visited several grandmaster Alchemists when she came to the Ten Thousand Treasure Sea Market.

Even though the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter’s medical skills were already excellent, she still sought out doctors for some mysterious reason.

Now, the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter had been mysteriously kidnapped, yet Aunt Bai’s attitude was unexpectedly vague. This response was really curious.

However, since the other party already said something, it naturally would not be good for Yi Ling to interfere. Still, he could not figure out the identity of this Mo Yun.

When did such a powerful character appear in the Heavenly Starry Ocean, and how come I did not know about it?

With these thoughts, Yi Ling made up his mind to discover Mo Yun’s identity.

Chu Yang was at a loss, unable to figure out this Mo Yun. Aside from the white clothes, there was nothing to connect this person to Xiao Chen. Nevertheless, his instincts were fairly certain that he was the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen, the fellow who nearly ruined Fu Hongyao’s looks and sent her fleeing while covering her face.

At this point, Chu Yang needed to leave no stone unturned, to use all the powers at the disposal of an Immortal Holy Land to determine the identity of this person.

The others left quietly with fear swamping their hearts. Tonight, they would not be able to fall asleep.

The Dragon’s Gate’s mountain tablet resurfaced, and the Holy Daughter got kidnapped. Furthermore, not long ago, the Azure Dragon King Xiao Chen had killed eight quasi-Emperors in an instant.

Before the start of this Four Seas Hero Gathering, the Heavenly Starry Ocean, which been peaceful for so long, seemed replete with the smell of an impending storm.

On the other side, Xiao Chen carried the restricted Yue Bingyun, rushing away. After leaving Ten Thousand Treasure City, he immediately unfurled the Freedom Wings and continuously flashed into the distance.

Fifty kilometers with each step. After ten breaths, he was already over five hundred kilometers away.

He put away the Freedom Wings and landed calmly on the surface of the sea. After looking around and making sure no one was within range, he put Yue Bingyun down.

“Sorry. I do not have any malicious intentions. It was just that the expert beside you seemed to be biased against me. So I had no choice but to resort to this.”

Xiao Chen came straight to the point, expressing that he had no improper motives, to get Yue Bingyun to relax.

Yue Bingyun was already feeling angry. When she heard this, she became even angrier. Naturally, she could guess why Xiao Chen carried her away. Without a doubt, it was the matter of having only ten years left to live.

Something is wrong with this fellow’s mind. All he needed to do was talk properly. However, he actually went through so much trouble, not hesitating to wreak havoc at the Treasure Master’s residence and forcefully carrying me away.

What in the world was he thinking? I asked Aunt Bai to pay more attention to him, fearing that an accident would happen. Yet, he misunderstood it as Aunt Bai having a bias against him.

Thinking about this, Yue Bingyun became so angry that she smiled, feeling helpless.

Regardless of his methods, she had accomplished one of her aims. She had something that she wished to discuss with this person in private as well.

Yue Bingyun rested for a moment and said calmly, “I know what you want to say, but I’m helpless. Your cultivation of the physical body went wrong. You were too ruthless to your body. Now, even if a divine doctor appears, he would not be able to save you.

“Of course, it would not be a problem if you can reach Martial Emperor within five years and construct the Golden Emperor Body.”

The latter part of Yue Bingyun’s words was just nonsense, in her own opinion. She could tell that this Mo Yun before her had an extraordinary background and had already become a quasi-Emperor.

However, it would be nearly impossible to bridge the gap between quasi-Emperor and Martial Emperor.

Only in the Ancient Era—the peak age of the Martial Epoch—had there been a smattering of excellent cultivators that managed such a feat.

Since then, even the unparalleled Azure Emperor spent eight years to clear this stage.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought before asking, “What happens after five years?”

“After five years, your lifespan would be drained, and you will lose the opportunity to advance to Martial Emperor. With an old and decrepit body, you will have no chance of forming the Golden Emperor Body.”

Do I really have only five years?

Xiao Chen’s heart sank. Then, he fell back on his final hope. “What about the Longevity Art of your honored sect?”

“It’s useless. Earlier, when you carried me, I secretly conducted a diagnosis on you. I found that your physiological lifespan increased by ten years. You should have a divine body nourishing art.”

Yue Bingyun directly extinguished his last hope. “The effects of the Longevity Art is similar to the body nourishing art that you know. It is already very heaven-defying. After you extended your physiological lifespan by ten years, using the Longevity Art would not have any effect.”

Aside from becoming a Martial Emperor within five years, Xiao Chen had no other choice or stood any chance.

Xiao Chen could not help but smile in disappointment. For all his hot-bloodedness and lofty aspirations, just when it looked like he would reach the peak and claim a grand position, he unexpectedly ran into a catastrophe.

He had struggled hard along the way, fighting many strong enemies for thirteen years. The difficulties really made one defiant.

In the past ten thousand years, nowhere in the Kunlun Realm had there been anyone who used only five years to cross that huge chasm.

Even the Azure Emperor had taken eight years.

“Azure Dragon King, you spent half your life unrivaled, gaining glory. Your fame has spread everywhere, and you are a legend everywhere you go. What else are you dissatisfied with?

“If you can look past all this and scatter your cultivation, stop cultivating from here on, you would have no problem living for more than a hundred years in peace.”

Yue Bingyun spoke in a soft, peaceful, and calm tone, sounding very natural.

“You guessed my identity?” Xiao Chen squinted, looking that this mysterious Holy Daughter whose appearance he could not clearly make out.

“When you used the cultivation of a quasi-Emperor to restrict me, I already guessed it.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “The Holy Daughter’s judgment is pretty good. Unfortunately, while you were able to guess my identity, you are unable to guess my thoughts.

“In this life, I have overcome countless opponents. No one whom I desire to defeat can avoid that fate. How can I lose to my own self? I will see you one year later in Bright Moon City. I will come and retrieve the Dragon’s Gate mountain tablet personally.”

Yue Bingyun gaped slightly. How could he leave immediately at his whim when she had not asked what she wanted yet?

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

She looked around and saw a few figures approaching. Now, she understood why Xiao Chen left.

“Miss Bingyun, are you alright?!”

Chu Yang and Yi Ling arrived at nearly the same time, slowly landing on the sea. An expert with a powerful aura stood behind each of the two.

Yue Bingyun took one glance and realized that those two were Great Perfection quasi-Emperors.

In the shortest time possible, these two had brought out their most puissant force and rushed over at their fastest speed.

The two sized up Yue Bingyun for a moment before looking into the distance, the direction which Xiao Chen had taken.

Under the cover of night, no figures could be seen on the vast sea.

“How unfortunate! We came too late and let that crook get away,” Chu Yang sighed. His eyes filled with heavy doubt.

Yi Ling looked away and said in a soft voice, “Holy Daughter, we’d better return. This fellow still has companions. I don’t know if that group of descendants of the thirteen great bandits of the Black Sea has left already.”

Yue Bingyun found his words strange, so she asked, “Descendants of the thirteen great bandits of the Black Sea? Why is that group of people here?”

“If not for that group of people suddenly appearing, Mo Yun would not have left Ten Thousand Treasure City so easily.”

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

A few more figures arrived. They were Hai Tian, Gongsun Yan, and the other outstanding talents, accompanied by their respective hidden quasi-Emperor guards.

After hearing the situation, Hai Tian said through clenched teeth, “Miss Bingyun, after you return, you should immediately draw up an announcement calling for all the Holy Lands of the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean to capture this person.”

Shangguan Yun and the others all agreed, saying that this person had to be killed.

During the feast, Xiao Chen reduced all of them to sorry states, turning them into a joke. They hated that they could not kill him now.

Yue Bingyun thought for a moment, then said, “There is no need. There is a problem with his cultivation, and he has only ten years left to live. He was just asking me some things and had no intention of hurting me.

“Furthermore, he has an important relationship with my Lunar Palace and is not considered an enemy. There was just some misunderstanding.”

Yi Ling’s eyes lit up. He said, “Based on the Holy Daughter’s words, you seem to know this Mo Yun’s background.”

Yue Bingyun smiled and said, “Not only do I know his background, but the few of you should also be familiar with him. He is the Azure Dragon King, the White Robed King Xiao Chen, who swept through all the younger generation of the Kunlun Continent.”

The few of them immediately gaped, unable to say a word.

This news caught them somewhat off guard. However, if the Lunar Palace’s Holy Daughter said it, she was definitely correct.

“Whoosh!”

A piercing light flashed, illuminating the night sky. Without saying anything, Chu Yang gave chase with the Great Perfection quasi-Emperor behind him.
