Chapter 469 I don't like being secretly watched.
There are two sacred places in the Northern Region suitable for the Silver Moon Wolf to cultivate.
One is the Ice Flower Pool where Xue Lan is located, and the other is the Lingyue Cliff where the Silver Moon Wolf Lord is located.
Lingyue Cliff is located on the mountain behind Beiyue City. It is shrouded in darkness all year round, with a glacier that has stood for thousands of years below it. The Lingyue Twin Lotus, which blooms only once every five hundred years, is nurtured within it.
The Twin Lotus of the Moonlit Night is an extremely yin substance, containing the purest ice spirit power, which is of great benefit to the cultivation of the Silver Moon Wolf.
At this moment, a woman dressed in white was standing by the cold pond where the twin lotus flowers of Lingyue were cultivated.
It was the ash.
Jin Guang gazed at the twin lotus blossoms in the icy pond. Like a lady in an ancient painting, they stood serenely in the water, a fine layer of white frost clinging to their pale blue leaves.
Surrounding the icy pool are six crystal-clear ice pillars, each inlaid with a pearl imbued with the power of moonlight, forming an exquisite protective barrier.
As Jin Guang looked at it, a hint of a smile appeared in its icy blue eyes.
The next instant, the woman in white leaped into the air and pointed a finger at the transparent barrier.
The restriction rippled outwards from the woman's fingertips, creating a pale blue ripple before shattering into countless glittering fragments that fell like a fine rain around them.
As the embers floated above the water, they bent down and pinched the twin lotus buds, their fingernails gently applying pressure...
"Aunt!" came the old man's exclamation from behind. Jin Guang turned his head slightly and saw a light blue stream of light flying down from Lingyue Cliff. When it landed in front of him, it turned into an old man with a full head of silver hair.
It was none other than Xue Lan's nephew, Xue Ji, the current lord of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.
Jin Guang looked at the old man and spoke softly:
"I've come to retrieve my belongings."
The woman released the delicate lotus buds and slowly walked towards Xue Ji. Her white robes swayed gently with her movements, the icy blue runes on them flashing continuously.
"This one……"
The old man's icy blue eyes darted around a couple of times, then he gritted his teeth and spoke:
"Aunt, I'm not ready!"
Jin Guang raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled gently at the old man:
"So you knew that too!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Ji's heart skipped a beat. The old man looked up and met Jin Guang's icy blue eyes, his voice clearly lacking confidence:
"This disciple doesn't understand what Aunt is talking about!"
Jin Guang sneered and raised his hand, unleashing a crescent-shaped sword light towards the gray sky.
Xue Ji looked up and saw the sword light turn a corner in mid-air before landing straight on Lingyue Cliff.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the palace, carved from millennia-old ice, was reduced to dust in an instant. A dazzling red light slowly emerged from the swirling ice dust, followed by a purple shadow.
It was an old man dressed in purple martial arts clothes. When he first came out, he was cursing Xue Ji with foul language, but he immediately shut his mouth after seeing Jin Guang at the bottom of the cliff.
The woman in white raised her hand and caught the incredibly sharp red light in mid-air.
That was a sword sheath.
To be precise, it is the scabbard of Emberlight, which seals a portion of Emberlight's power within.
The ice vines that were originally withered and listless suddenly came to life and grew rapidly when they fell into Jin Guang's hands.
The woman gently raised her hand and placed the sword sheath into her sleeve, her voice steady and clear:
"You can't stop me!"
The purple-robed elder who had just been chasing after the sword sheath walked behind Xue Ji and respectfully bowed to Jin Guang:
"Langzhen greets Changjun."
Jinguang nodded slightly to the old man, then turned and lightly prepared to leave.
"grown ups!"
The aged voice of Xue Ji came from behind. In an instant, the old man's figure turned into a light white shadow, blocking Jin Guang's path.
He stopped calling her aunt.
Jin Guang looked at the old man in front of him and spoke softly:
"You want to stop me?"
The woman's tone was very soft and cold. Even though Xue Ji already knew from various sources that the person in front of him was not his aunt, his heart still couldn't help but tremble.
The old man bent over and, steeling himself, began to speak:
"I dare to ask Your Excellency to reconsider."
"They're just a few petty scoundrels; I'll handle them myself!"
"You know how to handle this?"
Jin Guang spoke softly, his voice carrying a cold laugh.
A strange red light appeared in the woman's icy blue eyes, and the killing intent within seemed to overflow.
"Xue Ji..."
There was a hint of sadness in Jin Guang's voice:
"I understand your idea."
"The Northern Region needs a long-term ruler. As long as I remain here mysteriously and keep a low profile, I will be able to manage things."
“Those with wicked intentions will be constantly suspicious, thus hesitant to act against them.”
Jin Guang slowly raised his head and looked up at the gray sky above.
The sky over the Northern River has always been like this: deep, tranquil, and vast.
It can accommodate every thought on this land.
"I've been doing this for a thousand years, and people still come knocking on my door, don't they?"
The woman flicked her sleeve and glanced at Xue Ji:
"These are just the ones who dared to come knocking on our door. In the shadows where we cannot see, who knows how many other fellow Daoists are also eager to make their move."
"I don't like the feeling of being secretly watched."
After saying this, the woman transformed into a streak of light and headed towards Beiyue City, leaving Xue Ji and Lang Zhen standing there.
Jin Guang's words had just jolted the old man awake like a sudden storm.
"Only a short thousand years..."
The old man's voice was extremely hoarse, with a self-deprecating laugh in it:
"In just a thousand years, I've already forgotten what I'm supposed to be doing!"
Xue Lan was too powerful; she won the Northern Region River for the Wolf Clan with her absolute strength.
However, the Northern Region River has never been a paradise on earth, a utopia where one can hide away and never come out again.
"Langzhen!" Xue Ji called out the name of the person behind him.
“I, Beiyuchuan, have stayed in the Peach Blossom Spring for too long.”
"Yes!"
A cold wind howled through the valley. The two old men exchanged a glance and then went their separate ways.
Only one lotus flower remained in place—the Twin Lotus of Lingyue.
After leaving Lingyue Cliff behind the mountain, Jinguang went directly to the altar in Beiyue City.
Lian Chuan was still pondering Xue Lan's matter by the altar when, just as he found himself in a dead end, the surroundings suddenly turned cold.
The young man looked up abruptly and saw a white figure slowly walking towards him at the end of the long street.
Jin Guang made no attempt to conceal his aura, even revealing a portion of the Silver Moon Wolf's true form. A powerful demonic energy swept across the entire street like a whirlwind, causing those around him to tremble in fear.
Some of the younger disciples didn't even dare to look up, their fingers trembling slightly.
"Chongyu has met with Changjun."
When Xue Chongyu saw Jin Guang arrive at the altar, he was the first to bow and pay his respects to the woman, calm and composed.
Jinguang glanced at her and nodded in satisfaction.
The woman gently raised her hand, and a slightly yellowed scroll slowly flew to the altar and was sliced open. It depicted a clear pool with a large patch of blue pure ice lotus growing on its shimmering surface.
Jin Guang looked at Xue Zhongyu:
"let's start!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Chongyu turned around and spoke to the masked priest not far away:
"Begin the ceremony!"
Lian Chuan followed Xue Chongyu's gaze and saw that the priest who had previously presided over the Changjun's birthday ceremony was standing not far away. Upon hearing this, he slowly walked over with his staff in hand.
"ridiculous!"
A soft laugh suddenly came from in front of him. Lian Chuan looked up abruptly and met Jin Guang's red-glowing eyes.
For a moment, the young man seemed to lose the ability to move, his thoughts being pulled by the person in front of him, like strands of hair disheveled in the wind.
Emberlight withdrew her gaze from the child and looked at the priest who was slowly walking towards her not far away:
"I'm so impatient!"
I'm so anxious I want my soul to be scattered!
