CHAPTER 801: CHAPTER 801: TRAPPED IN DESPAIR

"Xuan Yue, you... cough, cough, cough, cough..."

Aunt Yue coughed continuously, and her originally gray-white face now showed two unnatural flushes.

Ji Xuanyue was startled upon seeing this, and without saying much, she quickly took out several healing pills from her own belongings and helped Aunt Yue take them.

"Aunt Yue, how are you? Don’t worry, I’ve heard that in this Blood River Palace, besides the Heavenly Destiny Flower we need, there seems to be a kind of spiritual medicine called Immortal Grass, which has special miraculous effects for healing. I will definitely find it for you then."

As Ji Xuanyue spoke, she gritted her teeth, enduring the immense pain from her own injuries, and continued to carry Aunt Yue, flying forward with all her strength.

At this point, there was no trace of the usual cunning on Ji Xuanyue’s face, but rather an endless worry.

In her heart, Ji Xuanyue also understood that with their current situation, let alone finding the Immortal Grass, it was questionable whether they could even escape the pursuit of the Moon God Sect.

But Aunt Yue had been greatly kind to her, and she was the only elder in this world whom she acknowledged. To just leave Aunt Yue behind was something she could never do.

Seeing that Ji Xuanyue still had no intention of following her earlier words, Aunt Yue’s eyes flashed with helplessness.

However, very quickly, that hint of helplessness in Aunt Yue’s eyes turned to determination.

She had decided that if the situation really became critical, she would rather self-destruct to create an escape opportunity for Ji Xuanyue.

After all, Ji Xuanyue was now her only family.

"Swish! Swish!"

Just at this moment, two sharp sounds of breaking through the air suddenly came from behind them.

On Ji Xuanyue’s back, Aunt Yue’s face immediately changed dramatically, and she urgently shouted to Ji Xuanyue:

"Not good! Xuan Yue, they caught up, quickly put me down, I’ll help you hold them off!"

In the midst of her exclamation, a strong wave of mana fluctuation surged from Aunt Yue’s body.

And her eyes changed from the original black-and-white to a deep gold, exuding an ancient and serene aura.

In response, Ji Xuanyue paid no heed, still urging a round moon beneath her feet, flying barefoot and swiftly escaping forward with Aunt Yue on her back.

"Heh heh, Yue Wenlan and our Holy Daughter, at this point, do you really think you can still escape?"

A middle-aged man in a yellow robe, with a black eye on his forehead, suddenly made a hand gesture and pointed in the direction of Ji Xuanyue and Aunt Yue.

In an instant, the space in front of them, where they were flying rapidly, abruptly rippled like water waves.

A light curtain inscribed with runes directly intercepted them in that space!

"Void Imprisonment, Three-Eyed True Monarch, do you really intend to eliminate us completely?"

Yue Wenlan, also known as Aunt Yue by Ji Xuanyue, suddenly emitted a dazzling brightness from her beautiful eyes, her Divine Thought firmly locking onto the two behind them, yet her body had somehow separated from Ji Xuanyue’s back, now protecting her from behind.

"Aunt Yue...!"

Suddenly feeling Yue Wenlan detach from her back, as Ji Xuanyue continued striving to break through the imprisonment in front of her, her heart sank slightly.

However, before she could speak again, a black-robed cultivator next to the Three-Eyed True Monarch had already begun to laugh wickedly.

"Eliminate completely? Hehe, Yue Wenlan, you’re overestimating yourselves. If it weren’t for your great disciple, our Holy Daughter, refusing to marry our Sect Leader, we wouldn’t be chasing you down."

The black-robed cultivator spoke, his eyes shifting towards Ji Xuanyue, before adding:

"How about it, Holy Daughter? Before we left, the Sect Leader said he would give you one last chance. If you willingly marry our Sect Leader, all your past wrongdoings can be expunged, otherwise..."

As he spoke, the black-robed cultivator licked his lips greedily and continued in a sinister tone:

"Otherwise, you and this mentor of yours, or perhaps elder, will be at our mercy. Hehe, I think the details needn’t be elaborated, right?"

"Outrageous! Sky Wolf Demon Lord, how dare you!"

Yue Wenlan’s face flushed with extreme anger, and the mana around her body became violently turbulent.

Swiftly, she turned her head to Ji Xuanyue and shouted angrily, "Xuan Yue, how long are you going to make me say this? Just go! Go! Go, already!"

Yue Wenlan screamed hoarsely.

Ji Xuanyue stared at Yue Wenlan, her eyes completely blurred with tears at some unknown time.

She shook her head desperately, "No! Aunt Yue, you should know, no matter what, I would never abandon you. Besides, even if I left now, where could I escape to? Rather than letting you die for me, I’d rather stand with you."

Saying this, Ji Xuanyue suddenly glared hatefully at the Sky Wolf Demon Lord and the Three-Eyed True Monarch, gritting her teeth, and asked:

"You two, were the things you just mentioned true?"

Upon hearing Ji Xuanyue’s words, Yue Wenlan’s face changed dramatically.

Before the others could respond, she had already shouted hoarsely again, "Ji Xuanyue! Are you insane? Don’t you know the reason the Moon God Sect Leader wants to marry you? He intends to use you as a forge to increase his own cultivation!"

Ji Xuanyue let out a bitter laugh, yet her eyes revealed a hint of resolve at this moment.

But before she could speak further, the two in front, the Three-Eyed True Monarch and the other, suddenly moved, pouncing towards her and Yue Wenlan!

The Sky Wolf Demon Lord grinned maliciously, "Holy Daughter, I’m sorry to say, your lies have no effect on us at all.

Perhaps you didn’t realize, before we set out, the Sect Leader imparted us with the Eye of Truth, so regarding your earlier statement, hahaha, let’s see if I can guess what you’re thinking."

As he spoke, the Sky Wolf Demon Lord began gathering mana while continuing to grin and say:

"If I’m not mistaken, you’re waiting for your mentor to be safe before you attempt assassination on our Sect Leader, or perhaps seek to disband? Heh heh, am I correct? I’d appreciate the Holy Daughter’s guidance."

Despite his words, the attacks from the Sky Wolf Demon Lord and the Three-Eyed True Monarch showed no signs of mercy.

A giant wolf and a three-eyed silver eagle surged from their bodies, appearing abruptly above Ji Xuanyue and Yue Wenlan!

At this moment, both Ji Xuanyue and Yue Wenlan felt their bodies momentarily stiffen.

Following that, the two primordial beasts seemed to expand instantly in their pupils!
