Chapter 425: The Joy of Reunion
"Is that the Shangqing blue moon?" Xiao Nanfeng\'s eyes lit up.
He rushed over immediately.
Within moments, he arrived by the side of a large lake.
"Yaoguang? I\'ve finally found you!" Xiao Nanfeng exclaimed, relieved.
Although Lady Yaoguang was still trapped within the black lake, finding her had been half the battle.
Perhaps because he was too hasty, he was instantly spotted by a group of horse-headed humanoids.
"Who\'s there?" one of them demanded.
Xiao Nanfeng turned to see a group of horse-headed humanoids drawing their weapons at him.
His eyes flashed cold as he strode toward them. He had no time to waste on such trash.
"The Dragon Yanluo? What\'s he doing here?" one horse-headed humanoid exclaimed.
"Dragon Yanluo, how did you get in here? Where\'s our lord?" another horse-headed humanoid demanded.
With a flash of blue light, Xiao Nafneng cut him apart with a slash of his blade.
"Bad news. We have to make a move!" the horse-headed humanoids cried out, drawing their blades and slashing at him.
"Kill!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.
With a bang, Xiao Nanfeng\'s sword flashed. Scintillating blue light illuminated the pitch-black space as the horse-headed humanoids were cut into shreds.
The blood peach tree emerged and furiously began to absorb at the cursed effigies\' fragments.
"Something must have happened outside. What have you done with my lord?!" one horse-headed humanoid demanded.
He turned out to be a Heaven Immortal. One slash from his sword created a huge ripple in space.
However, Xiao Nanfeng\'s divine undying blade nullified that attack. Its strike continued undeterred, striking the horse-headed humanoid\'s body and sending it flying. Xiao Nanfeng flashed right up to it and launched another blow.
"No!" the Heaven Immortal cried out.
He was sent flying with another slash. The two cultivators fought each other vigorously, but he was soon cut apart by Xiao Nanfeng, then diced and tossed to the blood peach tree.
"We have to run!" the remaining horse-headed humanoids cried out.
"Run? Do you think I\'ll let you leave at this point? Ha!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.
The remainder of the group were all Earth Immortals. If they could actually get away, Xiao Nanfeng would have wasted the time he spent in taking over the Dragon Yanluo\'s body.
The horse-headed humanoids were all devastated in a series of blows. Xiao Nanfeng allowed the blood peach tree to feast on their remains.
After killing all the cursed effigies, Xiao Nanfeng immediately cried out, "How are you, Lady Yaoguang? It\'s me!"
In the center of the lake, Lady Yaoguang remained immobile, as though she were unable to hear Xiao Nanfeng\'s voice.
Xiao Nanfeng flew up toward the blue moon, which had formed a spherical barrier encasing Lady Yaoguang. Links of chains were currently restraining that blue moon.
He slashed at the chains with his blade, shattering them. The lake water frothed as huge waves lapped the lakeside.
"Wake up, Yaoguang!" Xiao Nanfeng shouted.
However, Lady Yaoguang remained immobile.
Xiao Nanfeng frowned. He murmured to himself, "Could this outfit be too outlandish? Is she on guard against me?"
He immediately came out from within the Dragon Yanluo\'s mindscape and kept the Dragon Yanluo\'s cursed spiritual avatar away. Then, in the form of his yin body, he floated in the air and called out, "Wake up, Yaoguang! It\'s me!"
Even so, Lady Yaoguang didn\'t respond at all.
Xiao Nanfeng flew toward the blue moon and reached out toward it.
"The blue moon barrier—how could she have advanced so rapidly with the Shangqing Yin Body? Could it be because she received the inheritance of the Shangqing Grandmaster? I only barely managed to evoke the barrier recently, but she was able to do so a few months ago..."
Because he too cultivated the Shangqing blue moon, he knew how to awaken Lady Yaoguang. He reached out to the blue moon and vibrated his hand according to a precise frequency, causing the blue moon to resonate with it.
The next moment, a blue longsword emerged from the blue moon and sent him flying. Its tip was pointed toward him in warning.
The blue longsword quickly retreated back into the blue moon, but a scar was left on his arm. Some blood, made manifest by spiritual power, dripped into the black lake.
"Is this the peerless Shangqing relic that even the Horse Yanluo can\'t do anything about? How powerful it is," Xiao Nanfeng murmured, clutching his wound.
Even so, he didn\'t retreat. He closed in on Lady Yaoguang again and continued to prod the Shangqing blue moon in an attempt to communicate with Lady Yaoguang within.
The blue sword appeared once more and sent him flying. Despite the fact that he was on guard, the sword again nicked him. More blood fell into the black lake.
"I don\'t believe you\'re invincible. Again!" Xiao Nanfeng demanded.
He defended himself with the divine undying blade as he continued to agitate the Shangqing blue moon.
What he didn\'t know was that his blood, formed of spiritual power, didn\'t dissipate after it fell into the black lake. Rather, the special energy within the lake sent the blood toward the rock of fate.
Slowly, Xiao Nanfeng\'s image appeared on the rock in conjunction with Lady Yaoguang\'s. They were holding hands, their eyes focused on each other, as they embraced.
At the same time, while Xiao Nanfeng continued to agitate the blue moon, he was suddenly taken aback. "Lady Yaoguang, why is your face red? Are you about to awaken? Are you feigning sleep? You have to wake up. We don\'t have much time. We need to get out of here!"
However, Lady Yaoguang continued to slumber. Her face was flushed red, as though she were having a particularly lurid dream.
As Xiao Nanfeng continued to batter down the blue moon\'s defenses, the blue sword stopped attacking him. He continued calling Lady Yaoguang\'s name as he agitated the blue moon. Finally, a popping sound came from the blue moon. A wave of blue energy shot toward Lady Yaoguang within it.
"I\'ve succeeded!" Xiao Nanfeng\'s eyes brightened.
The blue wave of energy caused Lady Yaoguang\'s body to tremble. She seemed about to awaken, but as her dream shattered, she screwed her eyes shut in dismay, murmuring, "Don\'t go, Nanfeng!"
Then, she suddenly awoke in shock.
Her mind blanked, as though she were still immersed in her sweet dream. A tear dropped down the corner of her eye.
"Yaoguang, you\'re finally awake!" Xiao Nanfeng exclaimed.
Lady Yaoguang blinked. Then, countless memories of reality flooded into her mind as she awoke.
"Husband? No, that was just a dream. What\'s going on?" Lady Yaoguang\'s eyes slowly gained clarity as she broke out of her stupor. Then, she cried out in excitement, "What are you doing here, Nanfeng?"
"You\'re awake? Thank goodness!"
Suddenly, Lady Yaoguang frowned. She thundered, "Who are you? How dare you impersonate Nanfeng? Were you scrutinizing my memories? How could you?!"
"No, it\'s me! I\'m Nanfeng. Have you forgotten? You said you wanted me to make you a feast when we next reunited!"
Lady Yaoguang frowned. It was true that no one else would know of this but Xiao Nanfeng himself. She inspected both of them with her Shangqing blue moon in order to confirm that everything was as it seemed.
"Is it really you? Nanfeng, what are you doing here?" Lady Yaoguang exclaimed again. She beamed radiantly.
"I heard you were here, so I came to find you. What were you dreaming of? Your face was bright red!"
Lady Yaoguang flushed again as she replied, "Don\'t ask! I won\'t tell you."
Xiao Nanfeng was taken aback. Why did she seem so agitated?
