15: Thank you, Demon Lord, for the assist.

Nether Moon watched Dongfang Yingxue's nervous expression, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

Heh, she had only just shown her face, and the other woman was already rushing out in a hurry to protect her Disciple.

It seemed her thoughts were indeed correct; this person was truly important to her.

Thinking of this, a flash of determination crossed Nether Moon's beautiful eyes.

This time, I definitely won't miss you again... Then, she gently waved her hand, and the Bone Dragon beneath her flew in a circle around the valley.

The sky-covering Devilish Qi once again enveloped the entire valley, gradually forming a barrier.

Dongfang Yingxue pursed her lips. She looked at Yun Qingci beside her, then used her spiritual energy to send her out of the valley.

“Little girl of the Sword Sect, you leave here first.”

The last thing Yun Qingci heard was this sentence from Empress Qiongyue.

When she opened her eyes again, she found that she had already arrived outside the Immortal Burial Cave.

This... Yun Qingci blinked, then immediately turned back to look at the Immortal Burial Cave.

Looking at the Immortal Burial Cave from the outside, she couldn't find anything unusual.

Yun Qingci bit her lip, feeling somewhat hesitant for a moment.

As one of the Disciples of the Liyue Sword Sect, she had always believed in repaying kindness.

Not only was she saved by Gu Yuan, but she was just saved by Empress Qiongyue again... Eh... wait!

Yun Qingci frowned slightly. She had just heard Gu Yuan call Empress Qiongyue 'Revered Master'.

In other words... Gu Yuan is Empress Qiongyue's Disciple!?

Having figured this out, Yun Qingci breathed a sigh of relief and wasn't so worried anymore.

Although she didn't know why the Demon Sovereign would suddenly appear in the Immortal Burial Cave.

But since Empress Qiongyue was also there, Gu Yuan should be very safe.

After all, the Demon Sovereign and Empress Qiongyue were the two people standing at the peak of the entire continent.

Yun Qingci shook her head. She found a place to stay in a small town near the Immortal Burial Cave, planning to stay temporarily.

Although Gu Yuan might not be in any danger, Yun Qingci still wanted to see it with her own eyes to feel at ease.

Sigh, even after coming to the Immortal Burial Cave this time, I still couldn't find the reason why Revered Master became so strange.

Yun Qingci sighed, her gaze looking out distantly... “Nether Moon, what exactly do you want to do? Do you really want to stir up a war?”

Dongfang Yingxue looked at Nether Moon in the sky and spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, Nether Moon only smiled disdainfully.

“Dongfang Yingxue, don't say those righteous-sounding words. This Sovereign is here today for nothing else but to force him to show himself.”

Hearing these words, Gu Yuan's expression instantly froze.

Wait, you made such a big scene just because you wanted me to appear?

I'll be damned, you really are a clever little devil.

Gu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

How could Dongfang Yingxue believe her? She remained expressionless, staring coldly at Nether Moon.

Meanwhile, Nether Moon bit her lip; she still hadn't sensed his appearance.

What's going on? Why hasn't he appeared to save Dongfang Yingxue yet?

Is it because it's not dangerous enough?

Thinking of this, Nether Moon let out a light laugh.

She patted the Bone Dragon's head. In the next moment, the massive Bone Dragon instantly spat out a monstrous amount of Devilish Qi.

The Devilish Qi barrier also fully formed, and in the next instant, Dongfang Yingxue and Gu Yuan were swallowed by this Devilish Qi.

This Devilish Qi was not from the current era, but had remained in that Colossal Bronze Palace since ancient times.

This eternal Aura caught even Dongfang Yingxue somewhat off guard.

However, Dongfang Yingxue's cultivation was heavenly after all. She grabbed Gu Yuan with one hand, then gave a light shout, and a golden light instantly slashed through the Devilish Qi in front of her.

Oh?

Nether Moon was slightly stunned, then laughed softly again.

Although Dongfang Yingxue's cultivation was astonishing, in this Immortal Burial Cave, I am invincible.

But for a moment, she couldn't do anything to her. In that case... Nether Moon giggled, and the surrounding barrier instantly closed in.

“Dongfang Yingxue, you just stay obediently with your precious Disciple. If he doesn't come to save you, you'll be trapped in this Immortal Burial Cave forever.”

As Nether Moon's voice fell, accompanied by the Bone Dragon's roar, the figures of Dongfang Yingxue and Gu Yuan disappeared.

This Bone Dragon was transformed from ancient Devilish Qi, and the barrier around the valley was likewise formed from ancient Devilish Qi.

At this moment, Dongfang Yingxue and Gu Yuan were trapped within that Devilish Qi barrier.

Without her permission, those two could absolutely not escape.

Nether Moon stretched her body, her tight curves outlining a flawless perfection.

She pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes full of expectation.

You will come, right?

I'll be waiting for you here, heh... You... must come!

...“Revered Master, by the way, why did you come to the Immortal Burial Cave too? Um... could it be that you were worried about me? Hehe...”

Gu Yuan and Dongfang Yingxue were swept along by that Devilish Qi, and now they had arrived in a mysterious space.

This space was full of nothingness, and everything seemed incomparably silent.

However, Gu Yuan wasn't worried about this at all. After all, he had items from the System Mall and countless ways to leave this space.

But... since he finally had this chance to be alone with his Revered Master, who had been avoiding him, Gu Yuan didn't plan to let this good opportunity slip by.

Speaking of which, Gu Yuan really had to thank Nether Moon.

This was completely sending him an assist.

Dongfang Yingxue was originally carefully observing this mysterious space, thinking of a way to escape.

When she suddenly heard Gu Yuan say this, her pretty face instantly turned red.

In her haste just now, she hadn't realized that she was currently alone with Gu Yuan.

And after having experienced that kind of thing before... “Rebellious Disciple, what, what nonsense are you talking about? This Sovereign just, um, just happened to be passing by. Don't overthink it, and you're not allowed to overthink it!”

Looking at his Revered Master's textbook tsundere appearance, Gu Yuan felt extremely fond of her.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

When Dongfang Yingxue heard Gu Yuan's laughter, she knew he had seen through her stubbornness.

Her pretty face turned even redder, and at this moment, she didn't even dare to look at Gu Yuan.

But then Dongfang Yingxue thought, she was his Revered Master, what was there to be afraid of?

So she looked at Gu Yuan again and gave a light snort.

“Humph, Gu Yuan, you're still hiding many things from me. Am I still your Revered Master or not?”

Uh... Hearing Revered Master say this, Gu Yuan's Aura instantly weakened by thirty percent.

He smiled sheepishly and spread his hands, saying:

“Cough, there are reasons for all of this. Revered Master, you have to understand me; after all, everyone has their own secrets.”

Dongfang Yingxue couldn't help but roll her eyes. She curled her lip and said:

“Is that so? Then why do you know the sword techniques of the Liyue Sword Sect, and moreover, the sword techniques of that Sword Immortal? Regarding this point, shouldn't you give me an explanation?”
