Chapter 1407: Chapter 234: The Oath of Men’s Protection
Under the threat of Ye Beiming’s bare body, Yun Sheng had no choice but to tell Ye Beiming about what happened in the Bahuang Tower.
"Actually, Ye Hu, Ji Ru Mo is a good person. He helped me a lot. If it weren’t for him, I might not have been able to escape from the Bahuang Tower." Yun Sheng cautiously glanced at Ye Hu.
"In that case, I should go change my clothes." Ye Beiming said indifferently after hearing this and walked away lightly.
Yun Sheng breathed a sigh of relief; she thought Ye Beiming might hold a court and cross-examine her.
"Huh? Where’s the Heavenly Destiny Mirror? Ye Beiming, you actually stole my mirror!" Yun Sheng reached out and realized that her Beast Language Ring had disappeared.
Somewhere in the Netherworld Palace, Ye Beiming had changed his clothes and casually tossed the piece of Heavenly Destiny Mirror aside.
"Come out. Should I call you Ji Ru Mo or the King of Penglai?" Ye Beiming stepped forward, leaned against the wall, and rudely knocked the Heavenly Destiny Mirror against the wall.
"Then should I call you the Regent King or Ye Beiming?" In the Heavenly Destiny Mirror, Ji Ru Mo revealed his figure.
The two unparalleled men coldly stared at each other, finding each other displeasing.
"Ji Ru Mo, there are some things we need to make clear early on. I’m a very petty person; I don’t like others coveting my woman." Ye Beiming straightforwardly explained.
Yun Sheng had no special romantic feelings for Ji Ru Mo, but just thinking about having her Little Wildcat carry around such a worn-out mirror made Ye Beiming slightly displeased.
"But... I allow you to protect her." Ye Beiming suddenly shifted his tone.
Ji Ru Mo was about to refute, but Ye Beiming’s sudden change of words left Ji Ru Mo a bit caught off guard.
"You... allow me to stay by Yun Sheng’s side?" Ji Ru Mo thought that with Ye Beiming’s temperament, upon finding out about his existence, he would either smash the Heavenly Destiny Mirror or throw it into some corner of the sea.
But he actually said he would allow him to protect Yun Sheng.
"Don’t misunderstand. I am only allowing you to guard her. Any other thoughts, you cannot harbor any. You’re different from Dugu Xiu; your gaze toward the Little Wildcat is very pure; you simply want her to be happy. If one day, I can’t take care of her, I hope you can temporarily take my place, guarding her and those around her." Ye Beiming said meaningfully.
"Why would you..." Ji Ru Mo always believed that love between people cannot tolerate a grain of sand, but Ye Beiming... What exactly is this man thinking?
"I’m just being cautious. You don’t need to tell her about what we’ve discussed. Consider this our shared secret for now. But under normal circumstances, my woman, I will protect by myself." Ye Beiming smiled faintly, and something flashed across his eyes.
When Yun Sheng angrily confronted Ye Beiming for questioning, he casually handed over the Heavenly Destiny Mirror.
No smashing or throwing away; has Ye Hu taken the wrong medicine?
Yun Sheng suspiciously inspected the Heavenly Destiny Mirror thoroughly and only after confirming there was no issue did she put the mirror away.
"Little Wildcat, we’ve been in the Netherworld for a while. It’s time to return to the Wuji Continent. I feel the High Priest won’t let this rest." Ye Beiming told Yun Sheng that at the moment he broke through to the Demigod Realm, he seemed to sense something.
As Yun Sheng, Ye Beiming, and Bo Bo bid farewell to Mingri and returned to the Human World, they were, as usual, aboard the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao.
"Kirin, this time was truly a narrow escape. The master and I were almost scared to death by you." Bo Bo smiled at her now normal master, liking this version of her better.
"Lord Bo Bo, there are some situations ahead." At this moment, the Four-direction Netherworld Jiao had entered the human territory, but just as it was about to find a place to land, it suddenly let out a troubled roar.
"What’s wrong?" Bo Bo and Yun Sheng, along with the others, looked ahead.
"In the sky, appeared vast skies with eight stars hanging like blood holes.
"What is that?!" Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming both noticed the eight blood-red stars.
It was midday, yet those eight blood stars were hanging high in the sky, and their presence dimmed even the sun.
Stars appearing during the day, considered extremely unusual, surely indicate trouble.
"Something’s not right. Have you noticed those eight stars are moving?"
Yun Sheng, Ye Beiming, and Bo Bo all noticed the eight blood stars suddenly appearing in the sky, slowly moving toward a certain direction, the direction of the Dutian Blood Realm.
Inside the Dutian Blood, Gu Feng sat within the Dutian Blood Seal.
He lifted his head, looking at the eight blood stars in the sky, frowning deeply, as the Light Magic Soul within him issued a warning sound.
On the same day, throughout the Wuji Continent, all citizens of the Four Nations and one Dutian, including Donghuang Lingling, Qi, and everyone in the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, saw the eight stars in the sky.
The Wuji Continent plunged into chaos.
The city folk rushed into the streets, pointing at the blood stars in the sky.
The light of the blood stars grew stronger by the day, gradually overshadowing the light of the sun and moon.
The entire continent turned into a place where day and night meshed, the sky’s stars gradually vanished, leaving only the eight blood stars.
At this time, within the Beast God Altar of the Bahuang Continent, the High Priest, accompanied by several priests from the altar, along with Yu Shang and the Great Martial Doctor, each held a piece of the Dark Eight Desolate Divine Artifact.
"Thousands of years we’ve waited, for thousands of years. Wuji Continent, we Eight Desolate Beast Clan have finally returned." At the altar’s main ritual platform, a man resembling a lord of the night stood with his hands lowered.
His hair the color of fire, sword-like brows below it, eyes of an eagle filled with killing intent, his tall and robust figure appearing like a ruler of the night, exuding an overwhelming and destructive power.
He is Dugu Xiu, but not the same Dugu Xiu as before.
He is the newly reborn Hei Qilin Clan Leader, Dugu Xiu, from the Ancient Magic Array, fused with the Qilin King’s Heart and Qilin King Relics.
Bo Bo’s inadvertent kick created a new Dugu Xiu.
Even the High Priest had not anticipated that Dugu Xiu could also fuse with the Ancient Qilin Body, originally thought to be inheritable only by Ye Beiming.
In just three days and nights, while Ye Beiming underwent rebirth amid the Nine-layered Prison Fire, on the Bahuang Continent, Dugu Xiu experienced rebirth and became the new Hei Qilin Clan Leader.
