330: Protect Mo Xiechen

Half a month later.

Su Xiaobai began writing in his diary again.

Lin Yao, Eleventh Year, Winter.

Sigh! Another two miserable weeks.

Senior Sister takes Revered Master sightseeing every day, seemingly having forgotten about me.

Linger is also busy with business every day, leaving me aside.

Even Little Han, who has always been my thoughtful little cotton jacket, now hides whenever she sees me.

Another day as a lone wolf.

I recruited Ling Xiao into the Brocade-Clothed Guard, making him my subordinate and training him as my successor.

Once he can take over for me, I'll become a hands-off manager and retire!

Don't be fooled by the current glamour; the workload of the Brocade-Clothed Guard is actually quite substantial.

Every day, government affairs pile up like mountains, there's a huge mess of civil disputes, and the tyrant occasionally summons me to the palace to play with her.

I'm genuinely overwhelmed every day now.

Counting the time, it's almost time for the Saint Lord's Breakthrough, and when I'm with the tyrant, she's always distracted, probably worried about the Saint Lord's safety, right?

Sigh! Although the Saint Lord once backstabbed me, I'm a magnanimous person and won't hold grudges against a petty one. This time, I've decided to help him out by interrupting his Breakthrough plan.

Additionally, the Secluded Heaven will open in a few months, and it truly offers infinite Opportunities, so it's necessary to go.

Su Xiaobai closed his diary and looked out the window.

Outside, the weather was fine, white clouds drifted lazily, and occasionally, the giggling and playful sounds of the maids from the manor could be heard, a scene of peace and tranquility.

Although there had been some minor incidents, he really liked his current life.

But he knew that behind this tranquility, a huge crisis lurked.

The Extraterrestrial Demon Clan and the Yao Race were all eyeing them covetously.

When he was weaker, he could only hope for taller people to bear the burden, but now, he had the ability to control his own destiny and protect those around him.

His current goal was to seize every Opportunity to improve himself and maintain the current peace.

"Lord Su, Your Majesty requests your presence."

At this moment, Eunuch Zhao's voice came from outside.

"Understood."

Su Xiaobai got up. Today was Moye Chen's Breakthrough day. He had agreed with the tyrant yesterday to go and act as his Protector together today.

Now, the fate of the entire Great Zhou rested on Moye Chen's shoulders.

If he could Break through to the Third Realm, then the Human Race would be in its prime, and even the Yao Emperor would have to wag his tail and let people ride him.

But if his Breakthrough failed, then a great war for racial survival would ensue.

However, Su Xiaobai knew that in the current world, the conditions for breaking through to the Third Realm were lacking. Once a Breakthrough began, the Lightning Tribulation would never cease until one was reduced to ashes.

Therefore, his purpose in going today was not to act as Moye Chen's Protector, but to interrupt his Breakthrough!

A determined glint flashed in his eyes.

...

Ghost Gate Demon Sect.

In the center of an open-air altar.

Moye Chen, dressed in a purple brocade robe, sat cross-legged in the center of the altar, his eyes tightly closed.

His body exuded an eerie black spiritual Qi, and the powerful pressure of the Second Realm (Peak) caused the surrounding Void Realm to distort.

Anyone weaker who approached would be crushed into a pulp on the spot.

Apart from Lin Tiantian, the First Hall Revered Master whom Su Xiaobai had never met, all the other Hall Revered Masters of the Ghost Gate Demon Sect were present. At this moment, everyone looked at Moye Chen in the center of the altar with nervous and solemn expressions.

Whether the Human Race could overcome this crisis depended on this one action!

At this moment, two streaks of light flew from the horizon.

Su Xiaobai and the Empress landed in front of the altar.

"Your Majesty."

Everyone bowed in salute.

The Empress nodded slightly, not saying much, only looking at Moye Chen in the center of the altar with a solemn expression.

She recalled what the Celestial Mystery Pavilion Lord had told her: "I saw Duke Mo's demise..."

She had a strong premonition that the only unexpected event in this world that could cause Uncle Mo's demise would be at the critical moment of his Breakthrough to the Third Realm.

"Stinky little brother, you finally remember to come back~ Sister heard from the servants that you're either staying at the Su Manor or running to the imperial palace all day, completely forgetting that this is your old home."

Yin Ji stepped forward and took Su Xiaobai's arm, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Ha... haha..." Su Xiaobai chuckled awkwardly, "Didn't I rush back immediately as soon as I heard the Saint Lord was about to Break through?"

"Hmph, at least you have some conscience."

Yin Ji charmingly pressed her finger against his chest, "Speaking of which, you're already at the First Realm, aren't you?"

"Tsk tsk, to think that little guy who couldn't even suppress the Luck power within his body has now surpassed me so much. I'm a little unconvinced."

Looking at her seductive, foxy appearance, Su Xiaobai knew her rich desire to perform was acting up again. She was probably immersing herself in some role.

He didn't pay it much mind and patted his chest, assuring her:

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Yin Ji, during the next Hall Revered Master competition, I'll go easy on you. I won't let you lose too badly."

Yin Ji's face instantly puffed up with anger, "How can you be like that? You should be saying: 'Don't worry, Senior Sister Yin Ji, from now on, I'll protect you!'"

"And then my heart would pound non-stop, I'd be madly in love, and maybe, on a whim, I'd give myself to you tonight?" She blinked, feigning the shyness of a young girl.

Su Xiaobai ignored her.

The Empress's delicate brows furrowed, "What time is it, and you two still have time to flirt? If anything happens to Uncle Mo later, you'll all be dragged out and beheaded!"

Yin Ji pouted and reluctantly withdrew her hand. If she couldn't beat the Empress, she would have at least said, "Oh my, whose vinegar jar has overturned?"

Su Xiaobai also looked at Moye Chen with a serious expression.

Due to the nature of heavenly secrets, he couldn't explicitly tell everyone that Moye Chen's Breakthrough would be his death.

But if he simply told them not to Break through, who would believe him?

Don't ask him why he knew, because he had already tried.

The result was that those with better tempers would smile and say nothing, while those with bad tempers would directly curse him as an idiot. Even the Empress told him to stop messing around.

Good intentions truly went unrewarded!

At this moment, everyone hoped for Moye Chen's Breakthrough, and they would not allow anyone to break this belief.

However, with Moye Chen's talent and insight, when one foot stepped over the threshold of the Third Realm, he would definitely perceive the danger behind it.

It would be too late for him to stop then; he could only watch as the never-ending Lightning Tribulation descended.

And what he had to do today was to interrupt Moye Chen's process by any means necessary when he reached the critical point of his Breakthrough, and pull him back!

Time passed by minute by minute.

Gradually, the sky formed a vortex, and a detached pressure descended from the heavens.

That pressure seemed to come from above the firmament, indifferent and merciless. Even all the Supreme Realm mighty figures present felt it difficult to breathe and their legs trembled uncontrollably.

At the same time, the aura around Moye Chen also began to rapidly climb.

"It's coming..."

The Empress's hands clenched, her beautiful eyes warily scanning the surroundings.

Uncle Mo's Breakthrough had reached a critical moment. Those petty individuals should be coming out now...

Su Xiaobai quietly opened his eyes.

"It's coming..."

Moye Chen's Breakthrough had reached a critical moment. It was time for him to act and pull him back...
