Chapter 1451 1549 White Fox Mask
Chapter 1451: Chapter 1549: White Fox Mask Chapter 1451: Chapter 1549: White Fox Mask Outside the Pill Appreciation Tower, Western Moon King, wielding the Ice Separation Sword, engaged in an intense battle with the man sporting the White Crane mask, yet victory or defeat remained indistinguishable for a long time.
However, a few powerful individuals, such as the Three Emperors and Dragon Haotian, had already discerned that, should the battle continue, Western Moon King held a slight edge and was capable of defeating his opponent.
Indeed, the Sword Tao prowess of the man in the White Crane mask was extraordinary. If considering pure swordsmanship, Western Moon King was certainly no match for him.
Yet, the cultivation of this masked individual was somewhat weaker than Western Moon King’s.
Both were in the Great Longevity Realm, but Western Moon King, a renowned figure for many years, was certainly one of the prominent figures within the Great Longevity Realm.
While the man with the White Crane mask was also in the Great Longevity Realm, he seemed as though he had just entered and had not spent much time there; his mastery of the realm was not as profound as Western Moon King’s.
Western Moon King had also noticed that his opponent’s realm seemed to be inferior to his own, and with this confidence, his attacks became increasingly fierce.
The man with the Tiger-Head Mask and the man with the Wolf Head Mask stood not far away, appearing very composed, without the slightest intention of offering help.
Just as the man with the White Crane mask was gradually being pushed into a disadvantage, a figure rushed over from the direction of the Ancient Pill Court.
“The job’s done, let’s get out of here!” Corpse Ginseng, also donning a mask, shouted to the three, and then quickly made his escape.
“Heh heh, Heaven King, your skills are superior; I must admit my inferiority. Let’s end it here today, and I will return another day to exchange pointers with the Heaven King,” the man with the White Crane mask said with a laugh, then immediately withdrew and regrouped with the Tiger-Head Mask and Wolf Head Mask.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
How could Western Moon King let it go? Just as he was about to suppress his opponent and achieve victory, how could he allow him to escape?
The Three Emperors looked at each other and also soared into the sky, ready to assist Western Moon King in blocking the three masked figures.
“The three of you have arrived just in time; let’s capture them together!” Western Moon King, seeing the Three Emperors approaching, was immediately overjoyed and promptly spoke to the three.
The Three Emperors each nodded in response, surrounding the trio with the White Crane mask tightly.
The crowd below, witnessing this scene, was deeply stirred; to have the Three Emperors and Western Moon King join forces was indeed a matter of pride, and even if the three masked figures were captured, it would not be shameful.
Dragon Haotian’s brows twitched, but he showed no intention of intervening. Instead, he pondered whether he should create a disturbance to let the three masked individuals go.
However, upon further thought, since the origins of the three masked figures were still unknown, and it was unclear whether they were friends or foes to the Long Family and other Alchemy Tao clans, and with the Three Emperors present, if he were to disrupt the situation, the Three Emperors would probably harbor discontent. Such a meaningless act was naturally not something Dragon Haotian would engage in.
Moreover, Dragon Haotian was quite curious about the true identities of these three masked figures and was very interested in knowing who they were, as well as the nature of the power behind them, the Sky Swallowing Palace.
The three individuals surrounded by the Three Emperors and Western Moon King did not seem overly tense and hadn’t even adopted a defensive stance.
Just when the Three Emperors and Western Moon King felt puzzled, a person walked slowly over from across the plain.
This person was dressed in a plain white robe, with silver hair fluttering in the wind. The body hidden underneath the robe was curvy, clearly that of a woman.
On the face of this silver-haired lady, there was a White Fox mask, and a pair of purple eyes that shone beneath the mask, giving off an enchanting vibe.
Another masked figure!
The Three Emperors and Western Moon King simultaneously furrowed their brows, looking at the White Fox masked individual with increased wariness and caution.
“Three Emperors, Western Moon, are you still in the mood to deal with the people from my Sky Swallowing Palace while your own backyard is on fire?” The person wearing the White Fox mask approached, speaking in a cool voice.
The voice of the person with the White Fox mask was very pleasant, but the words spoken were enough to make the hearts of both the Three Emperors and the Western Moon King skip a beat.
What did this mean? Backyard on fire?
Just then, members of the Pill Alliance below received news from the Ancient Pill Court, their expressions changed drastically at once, and they quickly called out to the Western Moon King.
Similarly, the royal experts brought by the Three Emperors were also calling out to the Three Emperors, saying there was urgent news to report.
Both the Western Moon King and the Three Emperors looked upset, although they did not know what their subordinates were about to report, it seemed like the matter was far from simple.
“If you gentlemen are still unwilling to let the people from my Sky Swallowing Palace leave, then I have no choice but to cross swords with you,” said the person in the White Fox mask indifferently.
The Three Emperors exchanged glances, then promptly landed on the ground to listen to what their subordinates had to report.
Seizing this opportunity, the person wearing the White Crane mask and the other two quickly met up with the person wearing the White Fox mask, and the four of them left the place together.
The Western Moon King gritted his teeth, feeling extremely reluctant. He had been fighting against the person with the White Crane mask for quite some time, and was just about to capture them all when they managed to escape.
“What’s the matter?” The Western Moon King suddenly looked down at the Pill Alliance crowd, fury rising in his heart, wishing he could slap a few of them dead to vent his anger.
The member of the Pill Alliance who had just called out to him looked around hesitantly, unsure if it was appropriate to tell the Western Moon King in front of so many people.
The Western Moon King was already irritated, and seeing him hesitate even to speak, he cursed, “Speak up! Or I’ll disable you!”
The person jolted and hurriedly said, “Master Zhu, Master Wang, the seven of them were killed.”
“What?” As soon as the Western Moon King heard this, he landed on the ground, his face looking incredibly grim.
A wave of commotion rose all around, with many people taking pleasure in the disaster. The perfectly fine Pill Convergence should have been going well, but someone came to cause trouble, and now people from the Pill Alliance were even killed. It was as if someone had deliberately chosen this time to slap the face of the Pill Alliance.
“Who did it?” The Western Moon King clenched his fists, on the verge of exploding, causing the people around him to unconsciously distance themselves from him.
“It was, it was Fang Lin!” The person from the Pill Alliance uttered the name with a trembling voice.
When the name Fang Lin was mentioned, silence fell around the area, and many people’s expressions changed. Even the Three Emperors, Dragon Haotian, and many from the Long Family showed shock.
Fang Lin? The Fang Lin who was proven to have perished seven years ago? Could he still be alive?
“It’s impossible!” roared the Western Moon King.
“Western Moon King, it indeed was Fang Lin. Many people witnessed him doing it,” said the person from the Pill Alliance, hastily recounting the incidents that had occurred at the Ancient Pill Court.
Without caring for anything else, the Western Moon King took off into the air, immediately returning to the Ancient Pill Court. As for this so-called Pill Convergence, he really had no mood to bother with it anymore.
…
In the vast ice plains, a giant man carrying an enormous sword, bare-chested, was marching forward. In such a bitterly cold environment, yet unclothed, it truly made one click one’s tongue in wonder.
On the forehead of this giant man, there was a tattoo—a red claw, looking like a ghost’s talon.
