909: The brothers meet and warn the dreamer.
Shadow watched as Baili Ziyuan, at this moment, did not come to pay respects to Li Wuji, but instead stood with Great Xia. His killing intent instantly erupted, and the Aura around him became sinister and terrifying.
If it were before, he might not have cared. After all, Li Wuji had not assigned them any specific tasks, and it was understandable to use Great Xia's power for their own development and improvement.
But now, his master needed people, and at this time, failing to distinguish priorities was no different from betrayal.
However, before Shadow could finish speaking, Li Wuji expressionlessly raised his hand to stop him.
His movements were concise and decisive. He then looked up towards a certain spot, his gaze deep and firm, as if it could penetrate the Void Realm.
Almost simultaneously, a heavy Aura, like a towering mountain, suddenly descended, and the surrounding ground trembled slightly under the pressure of this Aura.
Immediately after, Yue Shan instantly flashed and appeared in front of Li Wuji. His figure was tall and burly, like a majestic mountain peak, exuding a powerful Aura.
"Yue Shan greets Master."
Yue Shan's imposing Aura did not falter at all. He knelt on one knee, his movements swift and decisive, his attitude utterly respectful, like the most loyal guard.
"Rise."
Li Wuji raised his hand and gently pulled from a distance. An invisible force, like a gentle large hand, softly helped Yue Shan up.
"Thank you, Master."
Yue Shan stood up, his posture tall and straight, his eyes filled with reverence for Li Wuji.
"It seems you still chose to stay by his side."
Li Wuji's voice was low and calm, as if without a ripple.
He had told Yue Shan back then that once Li Mingxuan possessed the strength to protect himself, he would be free.
However, it seemed Yue Shan had not left, but continued to dutifully guard Li Mingxuan.
"This subordinate dares not forget Master's command. As long as this subordinate lives for one day, Young Lord will be safe."
Yue Shan answered resolutely, his eyes revealing unwavering loyalty.
Li Wuji nodded slightly without speaking, instead calmly staring at Yue Shan, or more accurately, looking through Yue Shan's eyes to meet Li Mingxuan, who was somewhere within his body.
His gaze seemed to penetrate all obstacles, reaching deep into Li Mingxuan's heart.
"Let him out."
"Yes."
Yue Shan naturally knew who Li Wuji was referring to. With a thought, a five-colored, translucent crystal, dreamlike in appearance, emerged before everyone.
This crystal emitted a soft glow, and the one encased within it was none other than Li Mingxuan.
Li Mingxuan stared blankly at Li Wuji, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt. He seemed not to have reacted yet, or perhaps found it somewhat unbelievable.
Although he was heavily protected within Yue Shan's body, Yue Shan had not blocked his perception, so he could perceive everything happening outside through Yue Shan.
If it were just Yang Shuo, he might still have been suspicious, but when Yue Shan saved Luo Xiu, he had already guessed the general situation.
He could never forget those heterochromatic eyes. When he traveled from Mingde City to Great Wall Academy, he was fiercely pursued by the Beast God Sect, and it was that person who saved him at a critical moment.
Devil King Luo Xiu, as a Disciple of Prince Wuan, how could he not know his identity?
King of the Demon Race, Sequencer of Sequence 001, one of the strongest existences in the current era.
He was renowned in the Cultivation world, his formidable strength striking fear into countless people.
Through Yue Shan's conversation with the Dream Master and Luo Xiu, he unbelievably realized that these existences had known about him for a long time.
And all of this seemed to be related to his already deceased elder brother.
His elder brother was not some low-talent individual who couldn't Cultivate, but an existence that even his teacher and the entire Great Xia feared.
Lord of Sequences!
This was the title he knew the Great Xia high-ranking officials gave him!
This title was like a bombshell in the Great Xia's upper circles, representing absolute power and mystery.
"Good, King Realm Late Stage. You haven't been slacking off."
Li Wuji saw through everything about Li Mingxuan at a glance. In his usually calm eyes, a rare emotional fluctuation appeared—a barely perceptible hint of relief.
He slowly took off the mask on his face, revealing his handsome features.
His face had firm lines, and his facial features were deep-set, as if carved by a knife, exuding a unique charm.
"What, don't you recognize your elder brother, or are you blaming me for deceiving you?"
Hearing these words, Li Mingxuan trembled all over. Looking at the familiar face, his eyes instantly welled up, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.
"No, B-Brother, I-I-I..."
Li Mingxuan hastily spoke, but it was as if he had suddenly forgotten how to speak, stammering and unable to utter a complete sentence.
He had many questions in his heart, wanting to ask his mysterious elder brother, such as where his elder brother had been all these years, why he faked his death—but for a moment, he didn't know where to start, and thousands of words were stuck in his throat.
"I know what you want to say, but now is not the time for reminiscing. Shall we talk after everything is over?"
"Okay, Brother!"
Li Mingxuan looked at the familiar face before him and suddenly felt relieved.
No matter what, the other party would always be his elder brother. His life was given by him, and even if his elder brother wanted his life, he would give it.
This brotherly affection was pure and firm, and would not change due to time or secrets.
Seeing this, a barely perceptible smile also appeared at the corner of Li Wuji's mouth, which caused a cold glint to flash in the Dream Master's eyes, who had been observing the two.
But before he could have any other thoughts, he felt a splitting headache, as if countless needles were pricking his head, followed by an irresistible pressure that crashed down like Mount Tai.
"Hmmph~"
Even the Dream Master couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. He struggled to look up and saw Li Wuji's cold gaze, a gaze that seemed to penetrate his Soul, making him shiver.
"Ma-Master..."
He naturally knew that this was Li Wuji's warning, but he still didn't regret it, silently enduring everything.
His body trembled slightly under this pressure, and sweat drenched his clothes.
However, perhaps due to the current situation, the pressure disappeared after a moment.
Yet, the Dream Master gasped for breath, as if someone on the verge of drowning had suddenly been rescued, and the starlight around him was illusory and dim, as if he had just experienced a life-or-death battle.
This scene caused immense waves to surge in the hearts of Zhu Jianhua, Su Wuming, Ning Qiancheng, Curse Tempest, and the Six-Winged Dragon-Devouring Centipede, leaving them unable to calm down for a long time.
Especially their gazes towards Li Mingxuan, which now carried a hint of respect. They hadn't expected the young man the Dream Master wanted to kill earlier to be the Master's younger brother.
"How dare this guy?"
This question echoed in everyone's minds simultaneously, but no one dared to ask, and it was destined that no one would answer them.
