Chapter 365

"You—"

Yao Xuezhu's jade face flushed red. She looked left and right, and seeing no one looking over, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. She hadn't expected Mu Shijun to say something so lewd in public!

She had always been one to care about her reputation, so she didn't even dare to respond to Mu Shijun's words. Turning into a streak of sword light, she landed toward the Floating Island. They had all seen that Lin Yi was right there.

Seeing Yao Xuezhu's back, which seemed somewhat like she was fleeing in panic, Mu Shijun shook her head with a smile.

After greeting Han Ningyan and Pei Zhaoji, she also turned into a streak of sword light and landed toward the Floating Island.

Han Ningyan and Pei Zhaoji were currently arranging the Dao Sect disciples.

"You all go first. We still have some minor matters here and will be over shortly."

Han Ningyan nodded.

"Wait a moment."

Although Pei Zhaoji was only the Sect Master of the Human Sect, she was able to intervene in many affairs of the Dao Sect, not to mention that Senior Sister had now delegated authority to her.

Not far from Han Ningyan and Pei Zhaoji, Yue Yunshang was gathering the Jinghong Sect disciples with Gu Caiyi, Xue Yuyi, and Xie Chunhong.

"Yunshang, you go first. We have everything handled here."

Gu Caiyi spoke softly.

"Go, go!"

As soon as Xue Yuyi saw Yue Yunshang's somewhat dazed expression, she knew what she was thinking about.

"Don't worry about us."

Xie Chunhong advised.

Yue Yunshang was still somewhat hesitant. Her every thought had been seen through by them. She blushed slightly, but finally, she nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."

…

"Won?"

Su Lingshu blinked.

"Won."

Li Tiaodeng replied beside her.

Su Lingshu seemed to have finally come back to her senses and let out a long sigh of relief. It was unexpectedly similar to Xia Qianzhen earlier; the two of them were truly one and the same.

"Since Master has returned, isn't victory a matter of course?"

Denger manifested her form and spoke with a grin.

"Oh, right! That little thief!!"

Su Lingshu seemed to have finally remembered something.

Her relaxed expression suddenly became serious again. Without speaking to Li Tiaodeng or Denger, she turned into a streak of light and flew toward the Floating Island.

Li Tiaodeng looked at Su Lingshu's purple back as she left, exchanged a glance with Denger beside her, and shook her head. "Let's go, let's go see Master."

"Mhm."

Denger disappeared in place.

Li Tiaodeng put away her sword, took one last look at the corpses remaining on the battlefield, and without further delay, followed behind Su Lingshu.

…

"That was Young Master before, right?"

Ji Ruxue wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Yes."

Yao Linger had a brilliant smile on her face, like a cornflower blooming in the wind. From grass to flower, it happened in this very battle.

"Then we…"

Ji Ruxue looked moved. Recalling what Yao Linger had said to her earlier, she paused for a moment before speaking again. "I want to go see Young Master. What about you?"

"Hmph, of course I do too."

Yao Linger stretched, and her slender figure disappeared from the spot as the words left her lips.

Ji Ruxue blinked. She didn't linger either; she mounted her longsword and flew toward the Floating Island.

…

"The Deity?"

Saintess Laio leaned on her greatsword. Beside her, Shaqitelisi and Saintess Taolusi stood with her, looking in the direction where Lin Yi had just disappeared.

"Is it over? Then what do we do now…"

Capricorne was somewhat hesitant. Over these past few days on the battlefield, she hadn't thought about anything, her mind entirely focused on how to resist the enemy forces.

But now… having suddenly relaxed, the things she had previously pushed out of her mind were picked up again.

The moment she thought about her current situation, she felt somewhat lost and at a loss for what to do, especially when she saw the other Saintess sisters.

She immediately recalled how she had come here, and they… surely they were the same as her, right?

"Now? Naturally, we go to see The Deity."

Saintess Geni smiled.

Although a few days had passed on the battlefield, she still maintained her holy image; her white dress was still as snow and hadn't become dirty.

"The Deity…"

Pace's face flushed slightly red.

She remembered the words she had said to Xia Qianzhen earlier. She bit her lip gently and looked at the expressions of Capricorne and the others out of the corner of her eye.

"Hmph, I was forcibly captured by you!"

Saintess Sikepeier snorted coldly, her expression slightly displeased.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Saintess Censeer asked with a smile, though her tone held no hint of inquiry, but was instead full of teasing.

"Otherwise?"

Saintess Sikepeier lowered her eyes slightly, and when she raised her head again, she had returned to her haughty and indifferent self.

"Then why did you help, Saintess Sikepeier?"

Saintess Aikelisi looked at Saintess Sikepeier, tilting her head as if curious.

Her face carried pure confusion, seemingly without a shred of bad intent.

But… it was precisely this silly purity that caused ripples of shame to flood Saintess Sikepeier's heart.

"I—I just didn't want to see the weak being bullied!!"

Saintess Sikepeier's tone carried a hint of embarrassment and anger.

"So that's how it is—"

Saintess Aikelisi dragged out her tone.

This made Saintess Sikepeier bite her lip, clench her fists, and wish she could punch Saintess Aikelisi's pretty face.

"Alright, we must go and see that God King Your Majesty."

Saintess Libolila spoke, interrupting the quarrel between the few of them.

Her gaze swept over Saintess Sikepeier and the others, and she added, "Regardless of anything else."

"Aunt…"

Alice spoke softly.

She and Saintess Weier had been forcibly brought here by Saintess Libolila and Saintess Geni. After so many days, she had also roughly figured out why Saintess Libolila and the others had brought her here.

Saintess Weier didn't speak, her pretty face just flushing slightly red. She remembered herself in the bath, shamelessly… and also in her dreams…

Thinking of that scene, her body felt somewhat weak, and her mind felt somewhat dazed.

"Don't worry."

Saintess Libolila looked at Alice gently and comforted her in a low voice.

"Furthermore… we have no way back. The other Life sects already know that we have betrayed the Goddess of Life."

Saintess Geni said indifferently.

Over these few days on the battlefield, new enemy forces had constantly arrived, among which were the armies of the Life sects who had come here following the decree of the Goddess of Life.

They had used the Divine Power of the Goddess of Life to kill quite a few of their own people.

Did they still want to go back? Unless the Goddess of Life surrendered!

But how could that be possible?

The several Saintesses fell silent. With these few words from Saintess Geni, they quickly understood their own situation.

Even the somewhat stubborn Saintess Sikepeier was silenced. They had truly and genuinely betrayed their faith.

No matter how stubborn she was, it was all in vain; after all, the facts would not change.

Chapter 470: Please Forgive My Blasphemy.

Lin Yi pinched Yu Xiaotang's pretty face. From just a moment ago, Yu Xiaotang had been holding his arm and wouldn't let go, and even as Fairies constantly entered from outside, she hadn't let go once.

According to her, it was—what hadn't they experienced? They had even competed on the same stage together, so what was there for her to be shy about?

Xuanyuan Xier stood to the side with a bright smile on her face, her eyes looking softly at Lin Yi. She had seen Yu Xiaotang acting spoiled toward Lin Yi many times before, so she didn't think there was anything strange about it.

If she stopped acting spoiled, she would actually find it somewhat strange. Would Yu Xiaotang be that kind of person? She wished she could monopolize her beloved Senior Brother all day long!

It would be best if no one else competed with her so that she could contain Senior Brother entirely within her own body, swallowing him into her belly—in a physical sense.

Lin Yi spoke in a low voice to Xuanyuan Xier about some trivial matters while soothing Yu Xiaotang's emotions, waiting for the arrival of the Fairies and Saintesses.

Before long, everyone had arrived.

Lin Yi scanned the circle. Even the thirteen Saintesses had already ascended the Floating Island. Now, out of the fourteen Saintesses, only one, the Saintess of Light, was missing.

Lin Yi had originally considered that he would only fight the decisive battle with the Goddess of Life once he had all fourteen Saintesses in his hand.

But he hadn't expected that even with the Goddess of Life in his hands, one of the fourteen Saintesses was still missing.

Lin Yi waved his hand, and the Creation Realm emerged, swallowing everyone inside.

As for the Yueming Domain, he had already sent a message there previously, notifying Xuanyuan Mingzhu and the others to wait in the Cold Palace. By now, they had probably all arrived.

…

"The Yueming Domain was originally a trap dug for us by the Time Holy Court…"

Lin Yi explained to the Fairies and Saintesses in front of him one by one.

Although Pei Yuhan and Xiao Xiyue and the others were watching from within the Creation Realm, there were some things they still didn't understand as well as he did.

Regarding the conversation between him and the past, they only half-understood, knowing only that it had to do with his Dao integration.

Except for Saintess Laio and the others, the Saintesses looked at Lin Yi in a daze. Over these past few days, they had also learned some things from Saintess Laio and Saintess Geni.

They had originally thought that the Myriad Realms Allied Forces were just some enemies Lin Yi had provoked, and the Goddess had suddenly awakened and discovered some of his methods in the dark, which was why she had issued that decree.

But now, hearing about the Time Holy Court, the Dao Lord… after the Fairies beside them helped explain, and they converted it into their own understanding…

—So it wasn't that God King Your Majesty had targeted them first, causing the Goddess to take action; it was that the Goddess had long been targeting God King Your Majesty, and they were merely bait?

Saintess Sikepeier and Saintess Taolusi looked at each other, their hearts somewhat complex. With twist after twist, they didn't know how to conduct themselves.

First, their faith had become tarnished, and feelings that shouldn't have existed had arisen within their hearts, and they had resolved to sacrifice themselves to preserve the Saintess Convent, while in reality, it also carried thoughts of satisfying their own base desires.

Then, Saintess Censeer and Saintess Geni had jumped out, claiming to be undercover agents, and after that… they learned of the true thoughts of that God King Your Majesty.

Now, they were told that they were merely bait to attract God King Your Majesty, and that they had long been abandoned by the Goddess.
