Chapter 1898 I Know Your Identity!

“Who goes there?”

The sound of wind breaking suddenly came from the sky below the Xuanyuan Platform, causing many to change their expressions. At the same time, a thread of curiosity arose in their hearts—who would have the audacity to appear at that place at this moment?

When everyone turned their gaze towards the direction of the sound, they instantly saw a black figure, moving at an incredibly fast speed, swiftly heading towards the bottom of the Xuanyuan Platform.

“He wants to seize that golden banner!”

Jiang Jingyu was the first to react, and his shout made everyone instantly realize the truth: someone was trying to take advantage of the battle between Mo Han and Yun Xiao to reap the benefits.

“Truly courting death!”

Having figured it out, Lu Zhanbai sneered coldly, thinking that while the two were engaged in battle, no one dared to act rashly. Trying to seize the banner now would definitely offend Mo Han.

Even a genius like Wu Jiantong, at the Hua Xuan Realm Early Stage, had to give face after learning that Mo Han had already broken through to the Hua Xuan Realm Middle Stage. In their view, this Xuanyuan Platform was already in Mo Han’s bag.

The sudden appearance of Yun Xing was already unexpected for everyone, and they didn’t expect that someone would still dare to profit from the chaos during the fierce battle between the two. If that’s not courting death, then what is?

Even Yun Xiao, who was currently resisting Mo Han’s Ice Cold Power, turned extremely gloomy upon sensing the target of that figure. His goal was also this Xuanyuan Platform’s insight this time.

For this, Yun Xiao didn’t hesitate to offend the genius Mo Han of the Emperor Canglong Palace. If, in the end, someone else took advantage instead, wouldn’t he be unable to weep or laugh? This was something he absolutely couldn’t allow to happen.

Thus, Yun Xiao made a prompt decision. His right arm surged with Ice Cold Power, and soon, the Cold Netherworld Energy released by Mo Han was completely dispersed by him.

“Did he not even exert his full strength just now?!”

Upon seeing this scene, Mo Han’s eyes sharpened, realizing a fact. Watching Yun Xing effortlessly blasting away his Cold Netherworld Energy, was all that just a façade?

Yun Xiao didn’t have as many thoughts as Mo Han. He knew if the golden banner fell into someone else’s hands, it would be troublesome to reclaim it. Although he’s not afraid of trouble, he doesn’t want more of it.

Whiz!

Extending his Thunder Dragon’s Wings, Yun Xiao’s speed undoubtedly reached the peak at this moment, even twice as fast as when he chased Mo Han earlier. This discovery made Mo Han’s face grow even darker.

But at this moment, Mo Han couldn’t just sit back. After such a battle with Yun Xiao, he had every reason to believe if the golden banner truly was seized by someone else, it would be extremely troublesome.

Those young geniuses who had already retreated to a distance could only watch as the three figures dashed like the wind towards the golden banner planted under the Xuanyuan Platform.

The black figure that sprang out first seemed slower than Yun Xiao, but having the head start, it was undoubtedly the closest to the golden banner.

As for Mo Han of the Emperor Canglong Palace, having slower speed than Yun Xiao and taking off a few breaths later, he was naturally farther away at this moment, but he hadn’t given up.

Because Mo Han sensed Yun Xiao’s speed and believed he could soon reach the black-clad figure. Then the two would likely engage, leaving him the chance to snatch the benefit.

At this moment, Mo Han certainly placed himself correctly, even somewhat relieved that his speed wasn’t faster, otherwise, the opportunist would become the detestable Yun Xing.

The black-clad figure seemed somewhat frail, and although his speed didn’t appear fast, he had an elusive presence. Just a few breaths later, he was only a few feet from the golden banner.

A gleam of joy flashed in the eyes hidden under the black robe. Seeing the golden banner so close, he was overjoyed, reaching out to grab the banner’s pole.

Swoosh!

However, at this moment, a black gleam shot upward, making the black-clad person’s body tremble slightly. Ultimately, he refrained from grabbing the pole, instead sidestepping and withdrawing his hand to avoid the black gleam.

Because the black-clad person sensed very clearly, if he didn’t dodge, the black gleam would slice through his elbow, rendering his forearm silently severed.

In this moment, this black-clad person naturally understood that the one called Yun Xing had arrived. However, he hadn’t anticipated that this person’s speed would be so fast and his reaction so swift.

To be honest, this black-clad person had been hiding in the dark, looking for an opportunity to seize the golden banner first. When Yun Xiao and Mo Han’s battle reached a fever pitch, he felt his moment had finally come, and boldly appeared.

But who would have known, even with such precise timing, Yun Xing would still catch up and disrupt the plan he had carefully laid out with a well-timed slice.

The one who timely intervened to stop this person from seizing the banner could only be Yun Xiao. At this moment, having missed the strike, he didn’t use the opportunity to grab the banner. Instead, he turned his attention to the black-clad figure who had retreated two steps.

“It’s actually a woman?!”

Seeing this, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but be taken aback. Although the person in black was shrouded in a black robe, he could still vaguely make out her face, even getting a faint sense of familiarity from it.

“Back when I was ambushed in Ancient Wood City, it was also you, wasn’t it?”

Flashes of scenes quickly passed through Yun Xiao’s mind, and he instinctively blurted out. Upon hearing this, the woman in black raised her head, revealing a refined and exceptional face, and looked at Yun Xiao with a half-smile.

“It was just your good luck!”

The woman’s expression became somewhat strange. Although she didn’t directly answer Yun Xiao’s question, she indirectly admitted that it was indeed her who acted in Ancient Wood City that day.

Even Yun Xiao had been startled into a cold sweat on that occasion. If it weren’t for his strong Power of Soul and quick reaction speed, he might have made a grave mistake.

“Are you with Dark Assassination?”

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao had some guesses about the woman’s identity and background. Whether it was the ambush beneath the Ancient Tree or today’s opportunity to strike from hiding, both were very similar to the mysterious methods of Dark Assassination.

“Hmph!”

The woman in black snorted coldly, not denying Yun Xiao’s question. When she tacitly admitted being from Dark Assassination, the geniuses nearby who heard their exchange all showed slight changes in their expressions.

“Does Dark Assassination dare to oppose my Emperor Canglong Palace?”

After Yun Xiao’s brief conversation with the woman in black, Mo Han, a genius from the Dragon Academy, finally arrived with a stomach full of anger, which made him speak carelessly at this moment.

“Oppose the Emperor Canglong Palace? Mo Han, you should know that this place is the Xuanyuan Platform, not a private possession of your Emperor Canglong Palace!”

Upon hearing this, the woman in black turned her cold gaze towards him. With just this one sentence, she left Mo Han speechless, as what she said was indeed true.

While it’s true that the Xuanyuan Platform has been guarded by members of the Emperor Canglong Palace over the years, and they do have the strength to claim it, they have never openly declared themselves the masters of Xuanyuan Platform to show their broad-mindedness.

Especially during the triennial Xuanyuan Platform Meeting, which sees many geniuses from various family sects participating. Even if most of the time the Emperor Canglong Palace’s geniuses take the top spot, others certainly stand a chance as well.

Mo Han, having been retorted by the woman in black, found himself at a loss for words. Could he argue that just because he was a genius from the Emperor Canglong Palace, only he could take the golden banner?

As Mo Han remained silent for a moment, the woman in black already turned her gaze back to Yun Xiao, her eyes filled with a peculiar color, tinged with a discreet hatred.

“Yun… Yun Xing, right? If you help me hold off that guy and let me get this banner, perhaps I can consider not exposing your identity in front of everyone!”

The woman in black who had been staring at Yun Xiao for a while unexpectedly uttered such words, leaving the crowd bewildered and making Mo Han even more confused.

“Could it be that Yun Xing is not his real name, and he has another identity?”

Mo Han wasn’t a fool, especially as he realized how skillful this seemingly unknown Yun Xing was, even more so than he could handle with ease, making him more convinced that this guy was not an ordinary person.

“How does she know?”

Yun Xiao had great confidence in his Disguise Technique, believing that even if someone observed closely, they might not uncover his true identity. So how did this woman find out?

Hua!

As Yun Xiao and Mo Han were filled with doubt, the woman suddenly reached out and pulled off her black robe, revealing a radiant girl in red before everyone’s eyes.

Her figure was concealed by her black robe earlier, but now, in her tight red outfit, her shapely form made many swallow their saliva. Aside from her slightly cold expression, she truly was a stunning beauty.

“My name is Mu Hongyi, and Mu Qingyi, who died in the Yannan Mountain Range, was my sister. Do you believe me now?”

The girl in red stared into Yun Xiao’s eyes. With these words, memories of what happened in the Yannan Mountain Range surged through Yun Xiao’s mind, making him realize why this woman seemed familiar.

At this moment, Yun Xiao no longer doubted that she really knew his identity. Given Dark Assassination’s tracking abilities, it seemed likely Mu Hongyi’s attack in Ancient Wood City was to avenge her sister.
