Upon hearing this, Fu Jian felt an indescribable joy swell within him. Becoming the trusted master of Difu was an honor he had never dared to imagine. However, this joy did not last long, as a subtle sense of unease began to replace it.
The attitude of Yama King seemed to indicate dissatisfaction with the current state of Difu, even bordering on indifference. This sentiment led Fu Jian to speculate about the future of Difu. The deeper implications made him feel a bit anxious, but he knew he had no right to question it; he could only do his utmost to carry out the orders of the King of Hell.
Chen Moxuan turned and flew into the sky. In fact, in Yun Miao Sheng Zhou, the crisis instigated by Blood Emperor, which aimed to kill those around Chen Moxuan, had quietly been resolved. The threat that loomed like a shadow from Blood Emperor's scheme had been dispelled by his master, Shao Lanyin, and Tiger Brother working together.
Tiger Brother moved with lightning speed, cutting through the night sky. Just as Chen Feng and the descendants of the Chen Family were about to fall into despair, with Blood Emperor's murderous intent about to descend upon them, Tiger Brother appeared before them like a divine weapon from the heavens, neutralizing the crisis effortlessly. Under Tiger Brother's protection, Chen Feng and the others were safe and sound.
Thus, Chen Moxuan was able to soar through the skies at this moment, enjoying an unprecedented sense of freedom. Having stepped into One-Grade Fetal Realm, he could finally fly on his own strength; this experience brought him immense comfort and exhilaration. However, this joy did not last long as his thoughts quickly returned to Yun Miao Sheng Zhou, where more challenges awaited him.
What puzzled him was the recent silence from the demon clan; Mo Zu seemed to have vanished without a trace. This situation was highly unusual; given the nature of the demon clan, they would never easily give up. Was there a larger conspiracy brewing in secret?
Chen Moxuan furrowed his brow, filled with unease. He knew he needed to find answers quickly; otherwise, Yun Miao Sheng Zhou and even all of Difu would face an unprecedented crisis.
With thoughts of Yun Miao Sheng Zhou weighing heavily on his mind, he unconsciously quickened his pace. Seven days passed, and despite not flying particularly fast, he returned to his master Shao Lanyin's side.
As soon as he landed, he eagerly recounted everything he had done in Xianyuan Shengzhou, including how he had eliminated all the experts from that realm, his tone tinged with a barely perceptible pride.
However, to his surprise, Shao Lanyin did not display the expected joy. Instead, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with worry. This left Chen Moxuan puzzled, prompting him to tentatively ask, "Master, the issue has been resolved. Why do you still look so troubled?"
Shao Lanyin let out a soft sigh and turned her gaze to the ancient Tian Shu Lu on the table, which was now completely blank, devoid of any writing. The absence of words on the Tian Shu Lu signified chaos in the heavenly mechanisms and an uncertain future.
"I fear this is not merely a matter of harmony; could it be that the demon clan is also making moves, attempting to take advantage of the turmoil?"
Chen Moxuan glanced at it and confirmed that indeed there was not a single word left. Suddenly, he spoke up with determination in his voice. "Master, this trip to Xianyuan Shengzhou has made me acutely aware that due to the prolonged absence of the Heavenly Court, Yun Miao Sheng Zhou's overall strength is significantly weaker than that of other continents. I believe we need to address this issue; we cannot allow Yun Miao Sheng Zhou to continue like this."
Upon hearing this, a hint of fatigue flashed in Shao Lanyin's eyes. "But we are running out of time. There are too many challenges to face; if it were only a few experts, it would be manageable, but their numbers are like ants."
"Master, I have some ideas," Chen Moxuan said, his eyes shining with unprecedented resolve. "While we may not be able to enhance our overall strength in the short term, I can retrieve some of my little gadgets from long ago. Additionally, there are some forces I inadvertently left behind years ago that I am also preparing to reclaim."
Shao Lanyin quietly regarded him and suddenly let out a gentle sigh. "You have traveled far and wide over the years and finally found your own cultivation methods. Yet as your master, I feel I have been inadequate and have taught you nothing."
Upon hearing this, Chen Moxuan immediately approached Shao Lanyin and gazed at her beautiful face before breaking into a smile. "Ms. Shao, why have you suddenly become so sentimental?"
"How dare you!" Shao Lanyin's eyes widened in surprise.
Chen Moxuan chuckled. "The Nine Revolutions Reincarnation Lamp that allows me to use other treasures was brought to me by you. Without that lamp, I would be useless."
"So you have done everything a master can do," she replied softly.
For some reason, Shao Lanyin suddenly felt that Chen Moxuan's eyes were sparkling brightly. In an instant, she turned her head to the right side, unable to meet those shining orbs. Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she heard Chen Moxuan speak again.
Now it’s time for the disciple to protect you. Last time, when you killed that Blood Puppet, I could see how strained you were.
This is the Qian Kun Blood Gourd, which contains the blood of the Blood Emperor's corpse. It might help you heal your wounds that refuse to mend.
As for the rest, leave it to me. In no more than six months, I will turn the entire Yun Miao Sheng Zhou into an impregnable fortress. By then, even if I have to face four opponents alone, I won’t be afraid!
Shao Lanyin’s eyes flickered with a complex light, like stars intertwining in the night sky—both reassuring and subtly filled with tenderness and expectation. She gently bit her lower lip, a barely perceptible smile gracing her lips, containing recognition of Chen Moxuan’s growth and a hint of ambiguous feelings that even she had not fully realized.
You always manage to surprise people, she murmured, her voice soft as a spring breeze.
Shao Lanyin's gaze lingered on Chen Moxuan’s resolute face for a moment before slowly dropping.
Six months to make Yun Miao Sheng Zhou as solid as a fortress is no easy task. Her words carried a teasing tone, yet they couldn’t hide her trust in Chen Moxuan’s abilities.
However, if you truly can achieve this, then as your master, I can feel a bit more at ease.
As she spoke, Shao Lanyin reached out to gently straighten Chen Moxuan’s slightly disheveled collar.
Go ahead and do what you believe is right. Shao Lanyin finally said softly, her eyes sparkling with encouragement. Whatever you need, remember that I will always be your strongest support.
Chen Moxuan looked at Shao Lanyin, determination shining in his eyes: I will not fail my mission!
With that, he turned and strode out of the room with purpose.
