âIf it really is a hallucination, it canât be that both me and my elder sister are feeling the same thing simultaneously. Big sister Moon Immortal, are you really unable to sense it?â Su Mei asked.
âLetâs find a way to get out of here first. I know that you miss your big brother Chu Feng, but just give me 30 more years. If Iâm still unable to find what I need in 30 more years, Iâll let you find your big brother Chu Feng,â the Moon Immortal said.
âBig sister Moon Immortal, thatâs not what we mean. We are just...â Su Rou and Su Mei thought that the Moon Immortal was misunderstanding what they meant, so they quickly tried to explain themselves.
However, the Moon Immortal simply smiled gently and said, âLil Rou, Lil Mei, thereâs no need to get nervous. Iâm not saying those words out of anger. Thatâs my true intention.
âI know the pain of yearning for someone. Iâm at fault for wilfully separating you from Chu Feng over my own selfish intention. Besides, Iâm slowly losing track of him. Initially, I was convinced that he was alive, just that heâs at a place where itâs hard for me to find, but right now, Iâm already not sure whether heâs still alive anymore...
âI canât continue living on like this. Itâs one thing to waste my time, but I canât afford to waste yours too. So, I decided to cap it at 30 years instead. Just give me another 30 more years, and if I still canât find anything by then, Iâll give up on it.â
âBig sister Moon Immortal...â
Su Rou and Su Mei still wanted to say something about this, but barely after they opened their mouths, the Moon Immortal had already interjected.
âItâs alright, Lil Rou, Lil Mei. This matter is decided. I was the one who forcefully took your bodies back then, so I should be the one to decide when I return it back to you.â
The Moon Immortal suddenly took a more forceful stance.
âIn any case, what we have to do now is to assimilate the Conquerstar Immortal Grass. As long as he can fully assimilate its energy, Iâll be able to raise my cultivation greatly, and this formation will no longer be able to trap me anymore.
âThe Conquerstar Mountain Villaâs Villa Master actually has the galls to deceive me. Iâll make him pay the price for it and erase the entire Conquerstar Mountain Villa from the face of this world!â
At this moment, Su Rou and Su Meiâs faces hardened in anger as a vicious glint flashed across their eyes.
This was a reflection of how the Moon Immortal was feeling.
She was a person who would do what she said, so she quickly sat down and began forming a few hand seals to assimilate the Conquerstar Immortal Grass that she had swallowed.
Meanwhile, while Chu Feng was unable to communicate with the Moon Immortal, he was able to see her movements. Furthermore, the connection the Conquerstar Immortal Grass had a profound connection with the formation.
As such, Chu Feng was able to easily figure out what the Moon Immortal was trying to do.
...
âThis feeling?â
But all of a sudden, Chu Feng felt another surge of energy crushing down toward the Moon Immortal.
While this energy was insufficient to take down the Moon Immortal, it could impede the Moon Immortal from assimilating the Conquerstar Immortal Grass.
âThat bastard Villa Master! If I were to ever get out of here, Iâll make you pay the price for your actions!â
The Moon Immortal could sense the sudden surge of energy too, and the rage on her face grew even greater than before.
She knew that the one interfering with her was no other than the Conquerstar Mountain Villaâs Villa Master.
âThis aura... Could it be?!â
But soon, a complicated look surfaced on the face of the Moon Immortal. The surge of energy coming at her had vanished, and at the same time, she sensed a different yet familiar auraâChu Fengâs aura.
In truth, when Su Rou and Su Mei mentioned that they had sensed Chu Fengâs aura, the Moon Immortal also sensed it as well.
It was just that the aura was too faint, and Su Rou and Su Mei had been pining for him for a very long time. Considering that the Moon Immortal was sharing their bodies, it wasnât impossible for her to have felt wrongly.
But in this very moment, she could feel Chu Fengâs aura growing stronger and stronger by the moment, and it was infused within the formation. In fact, she could vaguely sense that the onslaught from the Conquerstar Mountain Villaâs Villa Master was curbed by no other than Chu Fengâs presence.
âLil Rou, Lil Mei, do you feel it too? It seems like the aura of your big brother Chu Feng is getting clearer and clearer,â the Moon Immortal asked the two sisters.
âYes, we can feel it. Itâs definitely him! Big sister Moon Immortal, do you feel it too? Could big brother Chu Feng have come here to help us because he knew that we were in trouble?â
Hearing the Moon Immortal affirming what they were sensing, Su Mei couldnât help but feel deeply agitated.
The Moon Immortal, however, didnât respond to that question. She wasnât that certain anymore.
Instead, it was the rational Su Rou who spoke up then, âLil Mei, it canât be Chu Feng. Even though Chu Fengâs talent is above yours and mine, thereâs no way he could have grown so quickly as to be able to tamper with this formation too.â
Those words made Su Mei fall silent.
Indeed. Even if Chu Feng was incredibly talented, there was a limit to how much he could grow within this period of time.
Back when they last parted, the Moon Immortalâs prowess was far above that of Chu Fengâs. During this period of time, the Moon Immortal had been growing at a rapid pace far beyond their imagination too.
In their view, the Moon Immortal was a deity whereas they, including Chu Feng, were just mortals.
Even if Chu Feng had been trying his best to run ahead, there was no way he could keep up with the Moon Immortalâs footsteps.
If even the Moon Immortal was having such great trouble dealing with this formation, how could Chu Feng possibly have the ability to help the Moon Immortal?
Sensing Su Meiâs disappointment, the Moon Immortal sighed deeply and said, âLil Rou, Lil Mei, letâs not think about this for the time being. Letâs focus our efforts on assimilating the Conquerstar Immortal Grass. As long as we grasp control of the situation, weâll able to uncover the truth for ourselves.â
âYouâre right, big sister Moon Immortal. You should focus on assimilating the Cnquerstar Immortal Grass then,â the two sisters replied in unison.
The Moon Immortal wasnât certain why there would be such changes in the formation, but if one thing was for sure, this situation was advantageous to her. She had to make use of this opportunity to turn the tables around.
...
âThat bastard!â
At the same time, in a grand palace inside the Conquerstar Mountain Villa, a furious roar sounded.
âWhat the hell is Hun Lei doing? Instead of using the treasure I have given him to assimilate the Moon Immortal, heâs using the power of the formation to go against me instead? Is he out of his mind?!?!â
It was the Conquerstar Mountain Villaâs Villa Master.
There was also a formation within this grand palace, and it served as one of the formation cores of the formation inside the forbidden cultivation ground.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was through this formation core that he was able to trap and suppress the Moon Immortal inside the forbidden cultivation ground.
However, he realized that instead of helping him, Hun Lei was discreetly helping the Moon Immortal out. This made him feel incredibly frustrated.
âLord Villa Master, could it be that Hun Lei has betrayed us? But this doesnât make sense! What does he have to earn from this? He isnât acquainted with the Moon Immortal as far as I know!â
The elders of the Conquerstar Mountain Villa were gathered inside the grand palace as well, and they were pacing around in frustration. They were unable to make sense out of why Hun Lei would turn against htem too.
Meanwhile, the Conquerstar Mountain Villaâs Villa Master was contemplating over the situation before finally issuing an order, âSend someone in to inform Hun Yong that the situation has changed, and heâs to open the barrier right away and enter the Divine Cavern. As long as heâs able to kill the Moon Immortal, Iâll pay him twice the reward!â
âBut Lord Villa Master, if we were to kill the Moon Immortal, we wouldnât be able to use her energy to induce a transformation in the Conquerstar Immortal Grass!â an elder of the Conquerstar Mountain Villa exclaimed in response.
They were aware that they had to assimilate the Moon Immortal alive in order to fuse her into the Conquerstar Immortal Grass properly. If the Moon Immortal were to be killed, the plans that they had meticulously put in place would be ruined!
âThe situation has already gone too awry for us. Hun Lei has been impeding me with the formation core, which means that itâs likely that the Moon Immortal has already started to assimilate the Conquerstar Immortal Grass. If she were to succeed, her cultivation would surely grow by leaps and bounds. By then, our entire Counquerstar Mountain Villa would be dead meat!â the Conquerstar Mountain Villaâs Villa Master said grimly.
âLord Villa Master, Iâll have it done right away!â
Hearing those words, the leaders of the Conquerstar Mountain Villa immediately rushed out without any hesitation to send their juniors over to inform Hun Yong of the new situation.
