Chapter 1233: What is the relationship between Dieyue and Lu Xuan?

"Get out!"

Dieyue's icy voice instantly drew everyone's attention.

Everyone was puzzled.

There are actually enemies lurking here?

Isn't it that with Lu Xuan stationed here, Dieyue's terrifying battle power would be unstoppable even in the Upper Realm?

At this moment, Xiaonannan's gaze was scattered, yet she still clung tightly to Lu Xuan.

As Dieyue's projection power emanated, this past projection of Xiaonannan became somewhat unstable.

Lu Xuan saw through this situation as clearly as observing fire.

Xiaonannan's body is actually formed from a fragment of temporal power and the incomplete memory of a small town in her mind.

This body has become unstable.

And within this body, a fragment of Yunlan Potian's soul lies hidden.

Dieyue was precisely scolding that soul fragment.

"Boom!"

In Yunlan Potian's ears, it was as if thunder exploded.

But he dared not move at all, nor dare to leave Xiaonannan's inner world.

He felt an unprecedented killing intent!

This woman in the blood-red dress is too terrifying!

Even the mighty Heitan Sha Ancestor was killed in a single strike, let alone him?

Yunlan Potian immediately sent a mental transmission to Xiaonannan: "Xiaonannan, quickly help me, that woman in the blood-red dress wants to kill me."

Xiaonannan raised her weak face, speaking with a sobbing tone: "Don't kill Senior Yunlan, he's a good person."

"Good person?"

Dieyue's beautiful eyes flashed with killing intent, her murderous aura surging to the extreme: "In this endless span of years, you have siphoned my power, causing me to slumber for far too long. If not for that, I would have long since found Lu Xuan, my brother."

"This so-called Profound Scale Butterfly Ruin appears to be a prison of Cloud Mist Heaven, yet how is it not also my prison? Drawing upon the power of countless beings to keep me slumbering—how utterly vicious!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat shocked.

So that's how it is!

The Profound Scale Butterfly Ruin extracts the spiritual essence of true Cloud Mist Heaven beings, and it is actually borrowing the "weight" of beings to suppress the woman in the blood-red dress.

This likewise caused the beings of Cloud Mist Heaven to become puppets.

You should know that in these endless years, Cloud Mist Heaven has constantly experienced many strange and shocking events.

In some star seas, many beings live in a daze, drifting through life in a drunken stupor.

In other star seas, beings turn into monsters with three heads and six arms, their flesh sprouting aberrant forms.

Thus, in Cloud Mist Heaven, a group appeared that everyone condemned as the "foreign tribe".

The sole culprit behind all of this is Yunlan Potian!

……

These are all because their spiritual essence was extracted, causing aberrations.

A trace of recollection appeared in Dieyue's beautiful eyes: "Back then, this wisp of my projection power crossed the River of Reverse Flow, suffered heavy damage, transformed into a past incarnation—namely, Xiaonannan's appearance—temporarily losing memory, even forgetting the likeness of Lu Xuan, my brother."

"Xiaonannan is pure and unadulterated; you have deceived her for endless years, and now this must come to an end."

As Dieyue spoke the truth, a thought involuntarily flashed through everyone's minds.

If they had picked up Xiaonannan back then, wouldn't they have been able to become the masters of Cloud Mist Heaven?

No…… If that were the case, then it would no longer be Cloud Mist Heaven, but the Li family's realm, the Wang family's realm.

At this moment.

Within Xiaonannan's inner world, Yunlan Potian curled up into a ball, trembling.

Dieyue let out a scornful laugh, her jade hand lightly reaching out to grasp Xiaonannan.

"Hiss!"

Yunlan Potian's soul fragment was directly seized.

A man in yellow robes suddenly appeared above the void, his face filled with endless fear, he cupped his hands toward Dieyue: "Fellow Daoist, please spare me…"

Before he could finish speaking, his soul fragment ignited in flames.

Temporal power!

"Xiaonannan, save me! You promised me!"

Yunlan Potian roared loudly.

Xiaonannan stammered, but she herself had become somewhat insubstantial; how could she stop Dieyue?

He never expected that the seal within Xiaonannan's body would awaken!

But it was useless!

Temporal power annihilates everything.

This soul fragment directly turned to nothing!

"Ahhhh…"

With the destruction of that soul fragment, a mournful wail echoed from the distant Cloud Mist Heaven Palace.

"Damn it! One of my hidden measures has been erased like this!"

Yunlan Potian bled from his seven orifices, his face turning hideously ferocious.

This soul fragment was something he had exhausted countless treasures to conceal within Xiaonannan's body.

"Now, if I want to survive, I can only rely on the Gu Clan side."

Yunlan Poti couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the star sea where Feng Kuangman and the others were.

Feng Kuangman had already used an eight-turn soul-gu to take away a wisp of his divided soul.

"Yunlan Emperor! Rest assured, upon entering my Gu Clan's heaven, you will be considered half a Gu Clan member, and together we will walk the path to immortality."

Feng Kuangman let out a sinister laugh, gazing at the black gu in his hand.

This gu takes the form of a beetle, its two long antennae like pheasant feather plumes constantly swaying; rich soul fluctuations surge from it, and the gu's body writhes incessantly in Feng Kuangman's palm, storing a wisp of his divided soul.

This is precisely the eight-turn soul-gu!

Some time ago, Yunlan Poti had already reached an agreement with Feng Kuangman.

He helped Feng Kuangman analyze the heavenly domain patterns of Yunlan Heaven; Feng Kuangman took his divided soul back to the Gu Clan's heaven to 'forge immortality' for him!

Feng Kuangman gazed down at the soul-gu, the gloom on his face making Yunlan Poti feel a chill.

Now the wisp of soul inside Little Nannan has been extinguished, while the true body in the Heavenly Palace has instead become a bait.

At this moment.

Feng Kuangman looked around, and many Gu Clan people began to return.

"Everyone, have you all gathered enough formation-breaking gu?"

Everyone nodded.

Feng Kuangman looked toward the Changhe Sword Sect and solemnly said, "Alright, we should leave. There is a blood-skirted woman there, likely from the Butterfly World; we are no match for her—leave quickly!"

Their mission has already been completed.

They obtained the essence of Yunlan Heaven's heavenly patterns, and also captured a wisp of the Yunlan Emperor's divided soul.

"Click!"

"Click!"

Feng Kuangman scattered several eight-turn translocation gu from his hand; instantly, golden light spread across Above the Void, like a divine yang cleaving the heavens, and several void passages appeared directly.

"Retreat!"

Feng Kuangman waved his hand, a hint of regret appearing in his eyes: "The only flaw this time is that Fang Yuan that traitor escaped from my grasp again! Truly hateful!"

In the next instant, his figure did not linger; holding the black soul-gu in his palm, he stepped directly into the void rift.

Other Gu Clan people also followed suit, stepping in.

Thus, the Gu Clan has all left!

And at this moment, the direction of the Changhe Sword Sect.

Tie Xiaoqing smiled as she carried over steaming food, saying, "Lord Lu, it's time to eat."

Lu Xuan smiled, saying to the Weiyang Army and the Changhe Sword Sect people, "Things have come to this; let's eat first."

"Thank you, Lord Lu!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

Lord Lu once again feasts upon the world!

These are all great demon spirit meat brimming with Dao Resonance; a mouthful sends Dao Resonance soaring, qi and blood rise, and the benefits are manifold.

On the other side, Lu Xuan manifested a stone table; Ji Fuyao and Ye Chen and others immediately stepped through the air to arrive.

Who knew that Butterfly Moon would seize the seat beside Lu Xuan.

Now Ji Fuyao and Butterfly Moon have Lu Xuan sandwiched between them!

Butterfly Moon gazed at Lu Xuan with affectionate eyes; she didn't eat, just silently stared at him.

Ji Fuyao was angry, her chest heaving; finally she couldn't help but clench her jade teeth and ask, "Butterfly Moon, what is your relationship with Master?"
