82: Cold Moon's heart was stirred

In the Void Realm, a beam of moonlight sped through at high speed.

Seeing Leng Yue glancing at him from time to time, Cao Bu spoke up, "Adoptive Mother, if you want to look at Bu'er, there's no need to do it secretly. You can look at me openly."

Hearing this, Leng Yue's face immediately flushed red.

She couldn't explain it herself, but there was always an Aura about Cao Bu that attracted her, making her unable to resist stealing a few more glances.

"Bu'er, what kind of women do you like?"

Recalling the things she had investigated earlier, Leng Yue eventually ignored the difference in their status and asked the question.

Cao Bu's gaze was sincere: "Bu'er likes beautiful ones."

"How beautiful is considered beautiful?" Leng Yue pressed further.

Cao Bu looked at her, his tone pure: "Like you, Adoptive Mother."

Upon hearing these words, a trace of joy inexplicably welled up in Leng Yue's heart.

Suppressing her emotions, she asked nonchalantly, "I see that Jiu Ling'er is interested in you. Why don't you take the initiative?"

"Adoptive Mother, two people being together depends on a feeling; I don't have that kind of feeling for her, so..."

Cao Bu didn't finish his sentence, but Leng Yue was already delighted, though she quickly forced the feeling down.

She stared at Cao Bu in a daze.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, she knew clearly that her heart toward Cao Bu had changed.

As for Gu Qingtian, that love had faded away without her even noticing.

The man before her was quietly replacing Gu Qingtian's position in her heart.

It was even more surging than when she loved Gu Qingtian, and even more irresistible.

Leng Yue suddenly felt her cheeks burning and quickly looked away.

I can't. I absolutely can't.

Leng Yue, you cannot do something that violates a woman's virtue.

I must maintain my psychological defense and never let Cao Bu see anything unusual.

Before they knew it, one Kun Day had passed.

The moonlight suddenly stopped in the Void Realm, and the figures of Cao Bu and Leng Yue were revealed.

"Adoptive Mother, what's wrong?" Cao Bu turned his head in confusion, only to see Leng Yue's expression was grave as she stared intently at the void ahead.

In the next moment, Leng Yue suddenly grabbed Cao Bu and turned to flee: "Go!"

"Hahaha, Leng Yue, you still want to run? Stay and let this Emperor enjoy himself!" A cold, loud laugh suddenly came from behind.

Cao Bu looked back and saw a man in red robes emerging from the void with two powerhouses in gray robes; all three were enveloped in dense Devilish Qi.

"Adoptive Mother, who are they?" Cao Bu asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"They are people from the Yin Yang Sect."

"The leader is Desire Emperor, one of the Great Emperors under the Yin-Yang Heavenly Emperor."

"The other two are Quasi-Emperors."

Leng Yue's tone was grave, and as she spoke, she was already fully armed.

A quasi-emperor weapon defensive soft armor, quasi-emperor weapon boots, and the High Grade emperor weapon, ling yue sword.

Desire Emperor licked his lips, his gaze falling on the ling yue sword with pure greed.

"Leng Yue, as long as you hand over the emperor weapon in your hand, this Emperor will spare your life. How about it?"

Not every Great Emperor possessed an emperor weapon.

For example, Lin Xiaotian and even himself did not have one.

At the very least, a powerhouse of the third rank of Great Emperor or higher was needed to have an emperor weapon for each person, and even that was the result of millions of years of accumulation in the Spirit Realm.

As for those at the third rank of Great Emperor and below, most used quasi-emperor weapons.

There were three main reasons for this:

One: Refining an emperor weapon is extremely time-consuming.

Two: Resources in the Spirit Realm are limited, and Materials for refining emperor weapons are scarce, unable to satisfy all Great Emperors.

Three: emperor weapons must undergo the test of the Heavenly Tribulation. Due to the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao rules, there is only one Great Emperor of the Dao of Crafting.

No matter how much that Artifact Emperor refined, he couldn't keep up with the demand.

Rumor had it that the Artifact Emperor's workload was already scheduled ten thousand years into the future, making him the 'laborer' for all the Great Emperors in the Spirit Realm.

One hour later.

Leng Yue stopped her pace.

Looking at Desire Emperor and the other two who had surrounded her and Cao Bu, her face darkened.

"Bu'er, I'm sending you into the emperor weapon's space. Don't struggle."

As her voice fell, the ling yue sword surged with a vast amount of moonlight, transforming into a glaze-colored rift.

Before Cao Bu could say anything, he was sucked inside.

The rift then closed, leaving only the ling yue sword suspended beside Leng Yue.

"Leng Yue, I didn't expect that as soon as Gu Qingtian underwent Ascension, you'd raise such a young boy." Desire Emperor licked his lips, his eyes wandering over her body. "If you surrender without a fight, this Emperor might even let you enjoy yourself before you die."

"Cut the nonsense. If you want to fight, then fight!" Leng Yue shouted angrily, and the ling yue sword's light flared intensely.

With a light tap of her toes, she held the ling yue sword and transformed into a silver arrow of light, charging straight at Desire Emperor's face.

"Coming at just the right time!" Desire Emperor sneered and ordered the two beside him: "Go! Whoever catches her first gets to taste this Fairy first!"

The two Quasi-Emperors gave a sinister smile and charged at Leng Yue simultaneously.

The Quasi-Emperor on the left held a black hammer engraved with beast patterns. Before he even got close, he radiated an Aura capable of suppressing everything.

He swung the black hammer high and smashed it toward Leng Yue, who counterattacked with her sword.

With a loud 'clang', the surrounding ten thousand miles of the Void Realm collapsed, forming a vortex, and tens of thousands of void rocks were instantly ground into dust.

The Black Hammer Quasi-Emperor was knocked back a thousand miles, his webbing between thumb and forefinger split open, and blood dripped onto the hammer before eventually falling into the void.

"This Law of the Moon is actually this powerful?" The Quasi-Emperor on the right was startled, and the long spear in his hand stabbed directly at Leng Yue's chest.

Leng Yue sidestepped to dodge and swept the ling yue sword along, bringing up a string of blood droplets.

A wound deep enough to see the bone appeared on the Spear Quasi-Emperor's waist, and the flesh turned silver-gray under the erosion of the moonlight.

"Useless!" Seeing the two were no match, Desire Emperor's eyes flashed with impatience, and he condensed a colorful poison mist at his fingertips: "Give it your all! If she escapes, the Heavenly Emperor will not let you off!"

The two Quasi-Emperors' expressions changed, and they immediately intensified their offensive.

Leng Yue did not retreat but advanced instead, the ling yue sword transforming into billions of crescent moon sword blades, each one aimed at the two's vital points.

As the sword blades flew past, countless small slits were carved into the void, and a void storm instantly tore open.

In less than ten moves, the Black Hammer Quasi-Emperor was struck in the shoulder. Moonlight drilled into his body, and half of his body was instantly frozen into ice, with even his bones showing a moon-white hue.

The Spear Quasi-Emperor was pierced through by tens of thousands of crescent moon sword blades, and hot blood continuously gushed out from the bloody holes on his body.

The two recovered for a moment and were about to charge at Leng Yue again.

Seeing this, Desire Emperor shouted: "Get lost!"

With that, he flickered and appeared a hundred meters in front of Leng Yue, pushing his hands forward as over a dozen strands of colorful poison silk shot out from his palms.

Everywhere they passed, the void rippled with strange undulations.

"Desire Toxin! What a sinister method!" Leng Yue's eyes shrank, and she spun the ling yue sword in front of her.

The poison silk struck the sword body and turned into colorful mist, drilling into the sword along its patterns.

Leng Yue only felt her arm go numb as a cold power surged toward her heart along the sword hilt.

"Inside are also Moon-Eroding Powder, Soul-Severing Dew... a total of twelve kinds of poison, each one countering your Law of the Moon."

Desire Emperor laughed wickedly: "Having been struck by this Twelve Deadly Mixed Poison, your Law of the Moon will dissipate within half an hour; at that time, you, this cold Fairy, can only be at this Emperor's mercy."

Leng Yue felt a sharp pain in her Dantian. The Law of the Moon operated slower and slower, and the moonlight on her body also dimmed.

She raised her hand with a beckoning motion, and a wisp of golden Sword Qi appeared in her hand: "Desire Emperor, since you are looking for death, don't blame this Palace for being impolite."

With those words, she merged the golden Sword Qi with the Law of the Moon, and gold and silver moon shadows immediately surfaced on the ling yue sword.

In an instant, ten thousand moon shadows flashed from the ling yue sword, pressing directly toward the three of them.

The Black Hammer Quasi-Emperor raised his black hammer high, wanting to smash away the incoming golden moon shadows, but as soon as he crushed the first one, the second golden moon pierced through his chest.

The Sword Qi exploded, and his body instantly turned into fly ash in the void.

The Spear Quasi-Emperor screamed and turned to flee, but a silver moon pierced into his back. The Sword Qi erupted, shattering both his Primordial Spirit and Physical Body together.

Desire Emperor retreated a thousand miles, both shocked and furious: "Leng Yue, how dare you kill this Emperor's men! This Emperor will definitely make you suffer until you die!"

Leng Yue turned her head, her gaze icy: "Desire Emperor, now it's your turn."
