“If it really were an illusion, my sister and I should not both feel the same thing.”
“Big sister Immortal Moon, can’t you sense it at all?”
Su Mei asked.
“Let us first find a way to leave this place.”
“I know you miss your Brother Chu Feng.
I promise you both, no need for a hundred years. Give me just thirty more years. If, after thirty years, I still cannot find the person I am looking for, I will let you go to your Brother Chu Feng.”
Immortal Moon said.
“Big sister Immortal Moon, that is not what we meant. We only…”
Su Rou and Su Mei thought Immortal Moon had misunderstood them and wanted to explain.
Yet unexpectedly, Immortal Moon suddenly gave a gentle smile.
“Little Rou, Little Mei, do not be nervous. What I said is not out of anger. I truly mean it.
I understand the pain of longing better than anyone. Because of my own selfish desire, I forcibly separated you from your Brother Chu Feng. That was wrong of me.
Moreover, my sense of him is growing ever fainter. At first, I was certain he was still alive, just in a place very difficult to reach.
But now, I am no longer sure whether he still lives.
I cannot keep going on like this forever.
It does not matter if I ruin my own life, but I cannot keep ruining yours.
So, thirty years. Give me thirty more years. If after thirty years I still cannot find him, I will give up.”
Immortal Moon said.
“Big sister Immortal Moon…”
Su Rou and Su Mei wanted to say something more, but the moment they began to speak, Immortal Moon’s voice overrode them.
“Enough. Little Rou, Little Mei, it is settled.
I was the one who forcibly took your bodies. When to return them should also be my decision.” Immortal Moon’s tone suddenly grew firm.
“For now, we must first completely refine this Tyrant Star Immortal Grass.
Once I fully refine its power, my cultivation will soar, and this formation will no longer be able to trap me.
Master of Tyrant Star Villa, you dared to deceive me. I will make your entire Tyrant Star Villa vanish from this world!!!”
As she spoke these words, a trace of ruthlessness appeared on the faces of Su Rou and Su Mei.
That was a ferocity they had never shown before, yet in truth, it was Immortal Moon’s emotion.
Immortal Moon acted as soon as she spoke. She sat cross-legged and began forming hand seals to refine the Tyrant Star Immortal Grass that had already entered her body.
Although Chu Feng could not communicate with Immortal Moon, he could see what she was doing.
Furthermore, since the Tyrant Star Immortal Grass was connected to the formation, Chu Feng could roughly guess what she was attempting.
………………
………………
“This sensation?”
Suddenly, however, Chu Feng sensed another surge of power entering the formation and once again pressing down on Immortal Moon.
Although that power could not refine her, it could hinder her from refining the Tyrant Star Immortal Grass.
“Master of Tyrant Star Villa, you despicable bastard.
If this immortal manages to leave this place, you will pay dearly.”
Immortal Moon also felt that power, and anger blazed even hotter across her face.
She knew the one interfering with her now must be the Villa Master.
“This aura… could it be?!!!”
Yet immediately afterwards, an extremely complicated expression surfaced on Immortal Moon’s face.
Not only had the disruptive force from the Villa Master vanished, she also sensed a rich, unmistakable aura. It was Chu Feng’s aura.
In truth, when Su Rou and Su Mei first said they felt Chu Feng’s aura, Immortal Moon had faintly detected something too.
But it had been far too weak, and since Su Rou and Su Mei missed Chu Feng so deeply, and this body originally belonged to them, she had assumed it was merely an illusion.
Now, however, it was different. Chu Feng’s aura was growing stronger and stronger. It existed within the formation itself, and she could vaguely sense that the weakening of the formation power urged by the Villa Master was inextricably linked to that aura of Chu Feng.
“Little Rou, Little Mei, do you feel it? Your Brother Chu Feng’s aura seems to be getting clearer.”
Immortal Moon asked them.
“We feel it! We feel it!”
“Big sister Immortal Moon, you feel it too?”
“It can’t really be that our Brother Chu Feng, can it? Did he find out we were in danger and come to help us?”
Hearing Immortal Moon say this, Su Mei became even more excited.
Immortal Moon did not reply. At this point, even she could no longer be certain.
Instead, the more rational Su Rou spoke.
“Little Mei, that cannot be Chu Feng.
Although Chu Feng’s talent far surpasses ours, no matter how quickly his cultivation advances, he could never become strong enough to interfere with this formation.”
Su Rou said to Su Mei.
After hearing Su Rou’s words, Su Mei fell silent.
Indeed, although Chu Feng progressed quickly, he could not possibly progress this fast.
When they had last parted from Chu Feng, Immortal Moon’s strength already far exceeded his.
And during this period, Immortal Moon’s power had continued rising rapidly.
Growth at this realm, at such speed, was far beyond anything they could imagine.
In their eyes, Immortal Moon was an immortal, while they were mere mortals.
Chu Feng was also a mortal.
Even if his cultivation was advancing, he could never keep pace with Immortal Moon.
Since even Immortal Moon struggled against this formation, how could Chu Feng possibly help her?
Sensing Su Mei’s disappointment, Immortal Moon felt a pang of sadness.
“Little Rou, Little Mei, let us not think about this for now.
We must first refine this Tyrant Star Immortal Grass.
Once we fully refine it, we will control the situation. Then the whole truth will come to light.”
Immortal Moon said.
“Yes, big sister Immortal Moon, please hurry and refine it.”
Su Rou and Su Mei replied together.
Immortal Moon resumed refining the Tyrant Star Immortal Grass within her body.
Although she did not understand what was causing the changes in the formation’s power, at least the current situation was advantageous to her. She had to seize this opportunity.
………………
………………
“Bastard!!!”
At the same moment, within a majestic palace of Tyrant Star Villa, an enraged roar echoed.
“What on earth is that Hun Lei doing?
Instead of using the treasure I gave him to refine Immortal Moon, he is actually using the formation eye to oppose my power?
Has he gone mad?!!!”
It was the Master of Tyrant Star Villa.
As it turned out, this grand palace also contained a great formation. It was one of the formation eyes linked to the forbidden cultivation ground.
He was using this eye to channel the formation power within the forbidden ground and suppress Immortal Moon.
Just now, he had activated this eye launch an assault on her.
Yet he discovered that not only was Hun Lei failing to assist him, Hun Lei was actively helping Immortal Moon. This infuriated him.
“Villa Master, could Hun Lei have betrayed us?
But what would he gain from that?
He should not even know Immortal Moon.”
The elders of Tyrant Star Villa, gathered in the hall, were equally baffled. They could not understand why Hun Lei would do such a thing.
The Villa Master’s eyes flickered as though deep in thought.
“Send someone in at once. Inform Hun Yong.
Tell him the situation has changed. Order him to immediately open the boundary and enter the immortal cave.
Kill that Immortal Moon. As long as he kills her, I will double his reward.”
The Villa Master declared.
“But my lord, if we kill Immortal Moon, we will no longer be able to use her to make the Tyrant Star Immortal Grass evolve.”
One of the elders pointed out.
They all knew that only by refining Immortal Moon alive could the grass transform.
Killing her outright would render her useless.
All their careful planning would come to nothing.
“At this point, we have no choice.
That fellow Hun Lei keeps using the formation eye to obstruct me. Immortal Moon has already begun refining the power of the Tyrant Star Immortal Grass.
If she succeeds, her cultivation will skyrocket. Not only will I die, none of us in Tyrant Star Villa will survive.”
The Villa Master said.
“Villa Master, I will arrange it at once.”
Hearing this, the elder did not dare delay and hurried out.
He was going to dispatch a trusted junior of the villa to notify Hun Yong.
