Chapter 4903: Seeing Bloodsea Blade Again
Despite being the empress dowager, she had all the authority in Illumination currently.
âI was sad to hear about the ladyâs passing.â The elegant woman said with grief.
âBut you were there during that meeting, Empress Dowager.â Jian Yunyun said.
âYes, I was present indeed.â She nodded.
âAnd you didnât remember past sentiments, not helping my grandma.â Yunyunâs tone remained cold.
âI did not due to the agreement. The Alliance shouldnât have obtained the key or Primalâs future would be ruinous.â She said.
âThe Alliance is no longer the Alliance without the key. Your insistence on going against the creed will end up severing Primal.â Yunyun didnât relent.
âEveryone has their own stance and explanation.â She said: âLittle one, if you wish to end this storm, you must either hand the key over or get your empress dowager to show up. Otherwise, this will tear the Alliance apart and you will be buried with it. Not even I can save you.â
âWe will never hand it over.â Yunyun said and hesitated for a moment before adding: âI will let the empress dowager know and she will preside over this.â
Illumination Empress Dowager could read her expression and responded: âOthers might somehow fall for this but you are aware of my relationship with your grandma. She wouldnât have been so desperate if her master was still around.â
The two of them were as close as sisters. Divine Empress Dowager has been missing for more than ten thousand years yet her friend still had no idea of her masterâs whereabouts. There was no reason to be fearful.
âIf she didnât know, neither do you.â She concluded.
Yunyun gritted her teeth and said: âIâll have you know that I have clues about her location.â She has been traveling in search for the empress dowager.
âTell me, I will brainstorm with you.â The empress dowager said.
Yunyun shook her head: âI cannot but trust me, give me more time. Everything will be fine once I find the empress dowager.â
The empress dowager pondered for a moment before declining: âEven if I trust you, others in Primal wonât. You are exceptional among the young generation but you wonât survive this by being so stubborn.â
âAs a member of the Alliance, I must do what I should.â Yunyun said.
âYou remind me of myself when I was younger.â The empress dowager said: âOut of respect for your grandma, follow me to Illumination and I will protect you. Wait until this matter is finished and you may go wherever.â
âDo you wish to imprison me?â Yunyun remarked.
The empress dowager smiled and said: âThink what you will. If it makes you feel better, your young friend can come with as well.â She glanced at Li Qiye who was minding his own business by the bonfire.
She assumed that he was either Yunyunâs friend or perhaps her lover.
âThis has nothing to do with him.â Yunyun refused.
âSo be it.â The empress dowager said: âCome with me, little one, itâs the right choice.â
âI do not wish to.â Yunyun had no time to waste.
âThen Iâll have to force you, Iâm afraid.â The empress dowager insisted.
âBuzz.â Sacred strands of energy emanated from her body and engulfed Yunyun.
The latter found herself to be outmatched once again. She tried to activate her regalia but it didnât react.
âBoom!â She performed the secret technique again - Regal Sky Dragon or rather, Heavenraiser Tree.
A paradise manifested into reality and contained various phenomena.
âThis is unwise, little one.â The empress dowagerâs aura intensified and suffocated Yunyun.
She was even stronger than Ascension Sacred Lord. Yunyun could stop one or two moves from him but this was a different story.
Suddenly, she realized something and glanced in that direction - a man was standing there like a lone wolf at night. He wore a steel hat, looking like a statue.
âWho are you?â One of the palanquinâs carriers shouted.
âState your name!â The four strongest guards immediately attacked. Sword rays formed a net around him.
âClank!â A red glow flashed and disappeared once blood was spilled.
All four were decapitated. Their eyes were wide open in disbelief because they had no chance of stopping the fatal slash.
âBloodsea.â The empress dowager became serious after seeing one of the Ten Monsters.
Her experts gripped their weapons and glared at him. Alas, they were shaking inside.
He was notorious for leaving a trail of blood once he unsheathed his saber.
âMay I ask why you are here?â She said calmly.
âLet them go, leave.â Bloodsea was a man of few words.
As the ruler of a great kingdom, she didnât react well to threats.
âIf I refuse?â She uttered coldly.
âThen you will be talking to my saber.â He gripped the hilt and released his saber intent.
It was strong enough to deter her since she realized the power gap.
âWeâre leaving.â She decisively made a choice. There was no point in wasting energy here.
