Chapter 73

Su Chen pretended to gasp, but was secretly laughing in his heart.

He didn't know what the Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun had done to Marshal Tianpeng, but hearing that she had come out of seclusion had actually scared Marshal Tianpeng like this.

"Moreover," Marshal Tianpeng continued, "this Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun has a very strange temper. She has been in seclusion for years and doesn't ask about worldly affairs; what she hates most is people disturbing her cultivation. In the past, there was an immortal official who didn't have eyes, relying on being the Jade Emperor's confidant, and wanted to go to the Lunar Star to see the style of the fairy maids of the Guanghan Palace, and as a result... guess what happened?"

"What happened?" Su Chen asked curiously.

"She used a ray of Lunar Divine Light to turn him directly into an ice sculpture as a warning!" Marshal Tianpeng said with lingering fear. "Since then, no one has dared to trespass on the Lunar Star. I was also blinded by lust today, and after being fooled by you, kid, I almost caused a big disaster!"

He glared at Su Chen, but wasn't really angry, instead carrying a bit of lingering fear.

"If she had discovered us peeking outside sneakily, let alone pursuing Chang'e, both of us would have become ice sculptures, hanging at the gate of the Guanghan Palace as door gods!"

Su Chen also felt a burst of lingering fear and hurriedly cupped his hands: "It was this little brother's recklessness that almost harmed the Marshal. Please forgive me, Marshal."

"Forget it, forget it," Marshal Tianpeng waved his hand. "The ignorant are not guilty. Besides, I also have a responsibility. Sigh, this matter, it seems it's ruined. Once that Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun comes out of seclusion, the Guanghan Palace will definitely be heavily guarded; let alone getting close, we can't even think about it."

His face was full of loss and frustration.

Seeing this, Su Chen could only comfort him a few words from the side.

In his heart, he was even more depressed than Marshal Tianpeng.

He had finally found the clue to the True Fire of the Sun and successfully connected with Marshal Tianpeng, and just when he was about to succeed, it fell through at the last moment.

"Could it be that it's really fate? Although the Heavenly Secret Treasure Mirror gave the clue, it didn't say when it could be obtained. Perhaps, it's not the time yet?"

Su Chen's heart was full of unwillingness.

The warship returned to the Heavenly River camp; Marshal Tianpeng obviously had no mood, said goodbye to Su Chen hastily, and went to handle military affairs.

Su Chen had no choice but to return to the Great Sage's Mansion alone.

For the next two days, Su Chen was a bit absent-minded.

He accompanied the idle Sun Wukong to wander around the Heavenly Court while racking his brains to think if there were any other ways to enter the Lunar Star.

But after thinking about it, he felt the hope was slim.

Even Marshal Tianpeng was so afraid, what could a small Human Immortal cultivator like him do?

Breaking in by force was looking for death; taking it by strategy, now he couldn't even get through the door.

"Could it be that I really have to wait for that Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun to go into seclusion next time?"

Su Chen felt stifled in his heart.

Just when he was about to give up, a turning point came.

This afternoon, Su Chen was practicing the "Thirty-Six Axes of Heavenly Gang" in the backyard of the Great Sage's Mansion; he had never put down this physical body cultivation divine ability of the Witch Clan, and now he had practiced it to the eighth style.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Immediately after, the door of the backyard was pushed open roughly from the outside with a "bang."

Marshal Tianpeng's burly figure appeared at the door, his face flushed red, his expression excited, looking like he had picked up some incredible treasure.

"Brother Su Chen! Good news! Incredible good news!"

Before he even entered, his loud voice was already shouting.

Su Chen was startled by him, stopped his cultivation, and looked at him suspiciously: "Marshal, what is the panic?"

Marshal Tianpeng rushed to Su Chen in two or three steps and said excitedly: "Brother! The opportunity is here! Our opportunity is here!"

Su Chen was dizzy from him shaking him and hurriedly asked: "Marshal, speak slowly, what kind of opportunity is it?"

"Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun," Marshal Tianpeng said somewhat incoherently. "I just got news from a good friend of mine who works in the Lingxiao Palace. Just this morning, the Lunar Wuqu Wuqu Xingjun left the Lunar Star with that group of immortal officials under her!"

"What?" Su Chen's heart jumped wildly.

"She went to patrol the lower realm," Marshal Tianpeng said excitedly. "She said she was going to inspect the Five Sacred Mountains and Five Lakes, Four Seas and Four Rivers, and she won't be able to return for a short time!"

"In other words, the current Lunar Star has no one else except those fairy maids and some guards!"

Su Chen looked at Marshal Tianpeng's face, which was excited, and his own heart was also excited.

"Marshal, is this true?"

"Absolutely true!" Marshal Tianpeng patted his chest. "How would my friend dare to lie to me about such a big matter!"

He grabbed Su Chen's hand, his face full of impatient ecstasy.

"Brother, what are we waiting for? Opportunities don't come twice. Let's go, let's go to the Lunar Star now."

The ecstasy in Su Chen's heart simply couldn't be described in words.

Truly, "doubted there was no way through the mountains and rivers, but then found a village with bright flowers and willow trees"!

He had thought that this plan had completely failed, but he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

Su Chen was even more impatient than Marshal Tianpeng at this moment.

The two didn't dare to delay in the slightest, not even having time to greet Sun Wukong, and left the Great Sage's Mansion, drove their clouds, and headed straight for the Lunar Star.

This time, there was no ostentation of the warship; the two traveled light, and their speed was much faster.

Soon, that cold silver star appeared in their sight again.

Unlike last time, this time when approaching the Lunar Star, they didn't encounter any obstruction.

The entire Lunar Star was shrouded in a dead silence, and even the unfathomable Wu Gang they saw last time was nowhere to be seen.

"It seems the news is true," Su Chen felt settled in his heart.

The two didn't hesitate and landed directly on the surface of the Lunar Star.

As soon as they landed, that coldness that penetrated the bone marrow struck again.

Marshal Tianpeng was obviously here more than once; he led Su Chen familiarly and sneaked toward the direction of the Guanghan Palace.

The two restrained their aura, carefully hid behind a huge laurel forest, and poked their heads out to look toward that legendary palace.

They saw that in front of the Guanghan Palace, on an empty white jade square, a fairy dressed in white neon clothes was dancing alone.

Her dancing posture was light and beautiful, like an elf under the moon.

Her appearance was even more breathtaking. Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyebrows were like paintings, and her pair of eyes were as cold as water, as if containing endless loneliness and sorrow.

Even Su Chen, after one look, couldn't help but feel his heart sway.

"What a Fairy Chang'e, truly living up to her reputation."

Marshal Tianpeng beside him was staring straight, his saliva almost flowing out, his whole person infatuated.

"Beautiful... too beautiful..." he muttered to himself, his soul almost hooked away.

Su Chen looked at his infatuated appearance and smiled secretly, poking him with his elbow.

"Marshal... Marshal, wake up!"

"Ah? Oh oh..." Marshal Tianpeng woke up from a dream, his old face flushed red, and he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. "Brother, you've seen me make a fool of myself, seen me make a fool of myself."

He looked at the beautiful figure in the distance, full of longing, and also carrying a bit of timidity, looking at Su Chen for help.

"Brother, what should I do now? What should I do?"
