Chapter 38.3: Coming Out to Quell the Upheaval
— Within the flaming pool inside the Raging Flames Pagoda —
Duanmu Xi endured through excruciating agony to finally succeed in renewing her core essence and boosting her meridians.
Not only did she now possess a Heaven defying gift for cultivation, even her looks had become as astounding as a celestial being.
Her skin faintly aglow, lustrous as the most beautiful jade, fair like the first snowfall, so fine as if newly reborn. Her deep violet eyes had grown more deeply mesmerizing, her exquisite little face capable of bringing ruin to countries.
If it was said she had looked like a fairy from the Heavens, she was now ten times more beautiful than that fairy.
Duanmu Xi got up, and felt the fiery crimson feathers on her body.
“Scarlet, shall be your name.”
Thank you Mistress, let Scarlet bring you out now.”
She had really been in here for too long.
“Mm.”
Night fell.
Up on the Vermillion Bird South City Gates, arrows fell like rain, and Huangfu Che was carefully shielding Duanmu Xue.
“Your Majesty, we will not be able to hold the city gates much longer.”
Red Maple’s face was forlorn as she ran in a half crouch over to Duanmu Xue to report.
Duanmu Xue creased up her brows, and her eyes flashed with a glint of worry.
Huangfu Che’s face was similarly looking rather grave. “Any news of Phoenix First?”
They could only pin all their hopes on Phoenix First and Peng Xin now.
Red Maple shook her head. “The defending army in the frontlines reported that General Peng has not appeared.”
Duanmu Xue’s eyes darkened. [Is she really going to be defeated at the hands of Duanmu Shuang?]
“Your Majesty, look!”
A sudden cry of surprise sounded, which broke Duanmy Xue’s chain of thoughts.
“Master Xuanyuan has come!”
Upon seeing Xuanyuan Mo slaughtering his way through the enemy below the city gates, Red Maple’s face became excited.
Hearing those words, both Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che looked down over the city gates at the same time.
They saw the man with flawless looks dressed in a suit of black battle armour speedily cutting down the soldiers surrounding him with his purple mystic power.
[It’s really the kid!]
[It’s been three years since they last saw him, and the kid’s cultivation has progressed by quite a bit. He must have already attained the high Mystic Emperor level it seems. What a prodigious youth.]
Having slaughtered the circle of soldiers that surrounded him in an instant, Xuanyuan Mo leapt into the air to soar up atop the city walls above the gates.
“Are my two Seniors alright? Your Junior has arrived here late.”
“You’re not late, not late. The timing is just right.”
Huangfu Che said with a reassuring pat on Xuanyuan Mo’s shoulder, his face grateful.
Xuanyuan Mo pressed his lips together and said: “It’s great that my two Seniors are alright. The hundred thousand men your Junior leads is now still at the Black Tortoise Kingdom’s border and I only have three thousand elite troops here with me. Seeing that the rebel army’s numbers are so great, why not my two Seniors retreat from here together with me for now and we can make plans when reinforcements arrive.”
Duanmu Xue and Huangfu Che looked at each other and then nodded their heads.
Right at that moment, a blinding red light burst forth from the Phoenix Song Palace in the Vermillion Bird’s Imperial Palace.
The burst of red light flared out from the Phoenix Song Palace, lighting up the entire Imperial Capital City.
