Chapter 2861: Chapter 2862: Only Devotion Should Not Be Betrayed

Shu Jingchu was somewhat bewildered.

But she quickly regained her composure, then looked again at Wu Qiming kneeling on the ground.

"This person... How did you come to know him and recommend him voluntarily?"

Wu Qiming had been secretly celebrating his narrow escape from death, never expecting that after the Lord of Light’s questioning, he would face the Holy Maiden’s interrogation.

This left him speechless!

And just then, as Shu Jingchu was handling the remaining matters.

A fierce argument was taking place in the void about a million miles from the Palace of Light.

"I’m not going! If you want to leave, go ahead, but I’m staying to wait for the young master!"

The usually gentle Tuan’er was being stubborn, speaking angrily.

Yun Lingxuan didn’t speak, but her expression said it all.

In contrast, Tang Xiao remained relatively calm, yet even she looked impatiently at Duan Muguang and Wu Jun.

"Yeah, exactly how far do we need to run? Just give us a clear answer!"

Duan Muguang looked back at the path they came from and frowned, "Not far enough. At this distance, if those Great Elders send strong practitioners, they could catch up within a quarter of an hour, so we still need to run, we need to go at least ten million miles away to be barely safe!"

"But what about the young master? If we all run, will he be left alone?" Tuan’er questioned sharply.

She had been displeased with Duan Muguang for a while.

She had been staying well on that planet, just waiting for Xue An to return!

But once Duan Muguang arrived, he forced them out with the Sword Intent given by Xue An.

He kept claiming it was the young master’s orders.

Tuan’er still doubted it.

Especially after running this far, her worry for Xue An only increased, so hearing Duan Muguang demanding they run farther infuriated her.

Facing Tuan’er’s hostile gaze, Duan Muguang sighed, "Miss Tuan’er, it’s not that I want to run, but given the circumstances, if we want to ensure your safety, we need to get far away quickly, this is also the young master’s instruction!"

"Even if it’s the young master’s orders, I’m not running. I will stay here and wait for him, after all, if we go too far, what if he can’t find us!" By the end, Tuan’er was nearly in tears.

Duan Muguang and Wu Jun exchanged a worried look.

After receiving Xue An’s instructions, they immediately returned to the planet to take Yun Lingxuan and the others away.

But after running so far, they also sobered up.

Indeed!

Even though the young master said he could handle it, the situation he was facing was extremely complex, what if something happened?

With this thought, Duan Muguang nodded.

"Since Miss Tuan’er is so insistent, then let’s do as you say!"

Tuan’er’s worry was already overflowing by now.

The journey had left her exhausted both physically and mentally, she was barely holding on.

So hearing Duan Muguang’s words, she didn’t respond, just gazed blankly towards the Palace of Light, silently praying in her heart.

Young master, you must be safe!

I will wait for you here!

Seeing her in this state, Tang Xiao wanted to mock her, but couldn’t bring herself to speak.

In this world, only a woman’s infatuation cannot be betrayed.

For Tuan’er to have such devotion was truly extraordinary.

And just as the five were plunged into collective silence, a radiant light flew towards them at great speed.

Duan Muguang and Wu Jun were shocked, immediately stepping forward to shield Yun Lingxuan and the others.

Although they knew well if the Palace of Light had indeed sent someone, their strength was insufficient to block them.

But whether they could do it or not was one thing; whether they should try was another.

To hide like cowards behind women, or flee without a fight, they would rather be killed.

Tang Xiao also calmed down, secretly preparing herself.

Actually, her strength was the highest among the five.

And just then, the light streaked across the void, stopping before them.

"It’s the young master!" Tuan’er shouted joyfully.

Indeed.

The light stopped, revealing Xue An’s figure.

Upon seeing him, Duan Muguang and Wu Jun both breathed a sigh of relief, faces showing joy.

Even Tang Xiao, who was often at odds with Xue An, couldn’t help but smile.

This guy... does have great fortune!

Xue An walked forward, smiling at tearful Tuan’er before taking out the piece of the Celestial Mirror, speaking to Yun Lingxuan.

"Alright, got another piece!"

Yun Lingxuan was naturally overjoyed, "You really did it!"

Xue An nodded with a smile.

"Not only did I do it, but I also destroyed the avatar of the time-space Giant Serpent chasing us!"

This even shocked Tang Xiao, though she was too embarrassed to ask, only listening intently.

Xue An naturally didn’t hide anything, roughly recounting the events.

When they heard that it was the Lord of Light who personally obliterated the avatar of Shuming, Duan Muguang and Wu Jun were stunned.

They had studied the Scripture of Light under their master’s guidance since childhood, knowing well what the Lord of Light was.

According to doctrine, aside from the Holy Maiden, no one could communicate with the Lord of Light, nor could he intervene in reality.

But they quickly understood.

As Xue An made it clear.

All this was due to the Holy Maiden of Light, Shu Jingchu.

After recounting Shuming’s destruction, Xue An calmly looked at the two.

"Now the mystery about your master is solved! Do you want to hear it?"

The two naturally nodded.

"In fact, your master was the previous Holy Maiden of Light!"

Duan Muguang and Wu Jun showed little surprise.

Over the years, they had suspected.

Especially with the Palace of Light’s treatment of them, which confirmed their suspicions.

Then Xue An recounted all that had happened afterward.

When they heard that the Lord of Light had deprived the Great Elder secretly targeting them of power.

Duan Muguang and Wu Jun were shaken.

Then Duan Muguang exhaled deeply, "Indeed, we considered this, and speculated on why our master left the Palace of Light, even thinking it was because of the Lord of Light!"

"This led both of us to never truly believe in the Lord of Light!"

"Until hearing you now, I realized everything stemmed from our master’s choice at the time, and the Lord of Light truly lived up to his name!"

As he finished speaking, a faint holy light appeared on Duan Muguang and Wu Jun, a sign of strengthened conviction through faith.
