Chapter 869: Death Anniversary (Requesting Yue Tickets)

Taiwei Star Alliance, Xingchen Realm.

The bright moon hangs high, Shi Yuming stands on the mountain peak, like a statue, glaring with anger, scanning the Human Alliance on the earth plain.

A mighty and imposing force.

They’re just waiting for the signal from the Inner Screen Realm reinforcements, and then they will encircle the main world of Taiwei Star Alliance, the Five Emperors Realm, from both sides.

That’s also the last of the Demon Clan forces stationed in the Taiwei Star Alliance. As long as the Five Emperors Realm is regained, the Demon Suppression Array of Taiwei Star Alliance can be reactivated, completely driving back the Demon Army.

All this is thanks to that newly elevated Mahayana Immortal Monarch Wuwei. Compared to the previous Immortal Monarch Wu Wei, though their names sound similar, their ability to lead troops into battle is vastly different, completely on different levels.

However, this Immortal Monarch Wuwei doesn’t enjoy fighting. It’s said that once Taiwei Star Alliance is completely regained, she will leave and hand the leadership back to Immortal Monarch Wu Wei.

From Taiwei Star Alliance’s complete loss of territory to now nearly fully recaptured, it has only been thirteen years.

In thirteen years, everyone has endured the hardships of time, becoming more mature and steady, yet some things remain as they were.

Together with Shi Yuming, Ye Tianlang awaits the signal, stretching tiredly, rubbing his dry eyes, inquiring with concern.

“Shi Yuming, why are your eyes wide open like that?”

Suddenly, a fierce wind arises, and Shi Yuming becomes furious. His whole body surges with torrents that sweep down his arms, raising a fist towards Ye Tianlang’s direction.

Boom!

The fierce and domineering fist wind brushes past Ye Tianlang’s face, breaking the forest behind him and causing rubble and dust to spread across the sky until the opposite mountain peak explodes and is shortened by a section.

Ye Tianlang maintains the eye-rubbing posture, his face pale, lips trembling, almost scared to urinate.

The cultivators guarding below are alarmed, steering their Tunneling Light to inquire what happened.

Shi Yuming, with a stern face, says, “Nothing, just swatted a fly. Too loudmouth!”

Ye Tianlang gulps, not knowing what made Shi Yuming so irritable today.

He doesn’t dare say, it was Shi Yuming’s master, Immortal Monarch Cangliu, who instructed him to frequently ask Shi Yuming whether his eyes are dry, not that he wanted to provoke him!

Recently, he asks every day, asks every day, and Shi Yuming would just snort coldly, never seen him so furious.

Thinking carefully, Ye Tianlang suddenly widens his eyes.

Today is Her memorial day!

With this thought, Ye Tianlang sighs long, suddenly feeling the moonlight is dark this night, the atmosphere is oppressive, suffocating!

In the camp down below, Pei Shengyue returns from troop rotation, covered in grime, Jiang Ling’er hurriedly searches for clean clothes for her.

Seeing those bright yellow and big red robes in Jiang Ling’er’s hands, Pei Shengyue frowns.

“Today I want to wear black.”

Jiang Ling’er hesitates for a moment, quickly realizes, and gradually tightens her grip on the clothes, “I’m sorry, I forgot.”

Pei Shengyue forces out a bitter smile, “It’s normal. After all, it’s been thirteen years. I’m afraid after another thirteen years, they will completely forget her name.”

“Shengyue…”

“Damn it! Every time someone calls my name, I remember her.”

Pei Shengyue turns her head, though she didn’t like her, upon hearing of her fall, especially when hearing she was harmed by the Human Clan’s cultivators, Pei Shengyue felt angry and uncomfortable, feeling it’s unfair and unsatisfactory for her!

Such an outstanding person, she should have died heroically on the battlefield, how could she die from betrayal by her own people!

Jiang Ling’er walks over to pinch Pei Shengyue’s arm, “Shengyue, I have some Spiritual Wine here, would you like to go to the riverbank to pay respects?”

Pei Shengyue takes a breath to suppress the sourness, changes into black clothes together with Jiang Ling’er, heading to the riverside.

Upon arrival, they see several river lanterns drifting from upstream, and as they continue to walk, they spot several people by the river.

At the Guiyuan Sword Sect, Hua Yingshi, Xu Qianjin kneels by the riverbank, placing river lanterns one by one. The usually noisy Xu Qiancheng is also quiet now, silently mourning together with the bald Zhao Kunling.

Zhuo Qingfeng holds a sword, stands by the river, watching the full moon hanging over his head, his face solemn.

Zheng!

Suddenly the sword emits a cry, sword aura like wind, grass leaves fly, toppling all the river lanterns in the river.

The crowd looks up to see Xie Jingshan standing in mid-air, brow furrowed.

“Are you crazy? She’s not dead yet. Why mourn here? If you’re really so idle, go out and kill the enemy!”

After speaking, Xie Jingshan turns to leave, Jiang Ling’er’s sharp eyes notice Xie Jingshan tightly holding a piece of black Magnetic Stone, sculpted in the shape of Huo Dou. She often sees him staring at that Magnetic Stone in a daze.

The bright moon hangs high, the moon is full but people are absent.

In the Inner Screen Realm, prepared to launch a full-scale attack, Zhao Fuyi bathes in moonlight, waves his hand to initiate the array, the Human Clan’s army roars to the heavens, charging aggressively towards the Demon Army.

“Humans, must win!”

In the Green Dragon Realm, Yun Shang sits atop a red giant dragon’s head, speeds by under the moon.

“Faster, we must save them mother and child, faster!”

In the Nine Rivers Realm, Lii Jiuchuan stands on the highest peak of the Heavenly Star Sect, looking up at the moon, filled with solitude.

Qii Ming arrives with a thick stack of ledgers, “Sect Master, the Inner Affairs Hall’s ledgers are all here. They ask how to arrange them after the merger of the two sects.”

Lii Jiuchuan doesn’t turn his head, “I don’t want to discuss this today. You go first, I’d like to be alone.”

Qii Ming knows that today is Jiang Yuebai’s memorial day, so he doesn’t disturb Lii Jiuchuan and leaves quietly.

Lii Jiuchuan murmurs, “Yuebai, everyone says you’ve fallen, but as your master, I know you must be fighting hard to survive somewhere. I’ve acquired the Heavenly Star Sect, just waiting for your return to celebrate for the Heavenly Interence Sect.”

Zhuge Family.

Zhuge Ziyin, Zhuge Ziqian, Moh Baichun, and Cicada Spirit, four people who just returned from various battlefields, sit by the river pavilion.

The four of them silently drink, facing the bright moon over the river, drink a cup, pour a cup.

Moh Baichun frowns, says to Zhuge Ziqian beside him, “I always feel that girl isn’t that easy to have died, this whole situation is very strange, Immortal Monarch Fatian even exerted pressure on the Fang Family personally, which big family doesn’t have things they’d rather keep hidden from the light, how come the Fang Family declined so simply?”

Zhuge Ziqian follows Moh Baichun’s words and thinks.

Zhuge Ziyin puts down his cup, his face slack, “Our Zhuge family is clean, absolutely without anything that can’t be exposed.”

Moh Baichun rolls his eyes, Cicada Spirit stands up, softly saying, “I hope there’s more to this story, I hope she’s still alive.”

Another spot by the river in the Zhuge Family.

Flickering firelight, paper ash flying, Shi Xiaowu kneels on the ground, dressed in mourning clothes, crying while throwing piles of Yellow Paper into the fire, Qii Yue stands next to him, indifferent, unable to persuade him.

“Senior Sister, you can rest assured, Master, with Yue and me, will be well taken care of. And Little Junior Sister, she’s gone to the Jiangg Family to explore her roots, she might be a Jiangg Family member that was left behind in the Earth Spiritual Realm, isn’t that a coincidence uhuhu~~”

“Also, Yue and I have formed a Daoist Companion bond, once your hundred-year memorial passes, we’ll host a grand ceremony, my Senior Sister, how could you just leave like this uhuhu~~~”

Above the sea, the bright moon rises, sharing this moment from the ends of the earth.

The disciples of the Heavenly Interence Sect traveling outside, no matter how much they usually ‘hate’ this senior sister who forced them to death, at this moment, they all look up at the moon, remembering their suddenly lost senior sister.

Today, it seems the entire Upper Realm has fallen into inexplicable sadness, only one person is singing out of tune, uncontrollably happy.

“Jiuyou, if Xie Jingshan sees you like this, he’ll come looking for a fight again.”

Shen Huaxi sits by the camp table, organizing the latest military reports.

Bai Jiuyou, full of energy, radiant, shakes his head while drawing armored mechanism diagrams on paper.

“Why should I care about him being angry, if he dares to come, I’ll beat that old thing to death, anyway, I’m just happy, inexplicably happy. Maybe Jiang Yuebai that fellow is too happy, so that’s why I’m especially happy.”

“But, if I find out where Jiang Yuebai that fellow is enjoying herself without inviting me, once she returns, I’ll surely give her a beating, heartless!”

Shen Huaxi can’t help but laugh and shake his head, but seeing Bai Jiuyou’s condition improving, he gradually relaxes.

Bang!

Fireworks explode brilliantly in the dark night, Shen Huaxi stands up immediately from the desk, his eyes serious.

“The Inner Screen Realm has been taken, Jiuyou, inform the entire military, prepare to march!”

“Understood!”
