Womanizing Mage - Chapter 430

Chapter 430

The effect of the massacre of the Ye Residence was huge . On the second day, Ximen Nu ferociously opened an investigation in order to flush out the culprit . It seemed as though he wanted to take revenge for Ye Wufeng, who had served him for so many years . Although it seemed to be a fair investigation, Ximen Nu’s spear was directly pointed at the dark forces behind Long Zhan .

The allies of the Ximen Clan were enraged by such an act . In order to not become the next Ye Wufeng, after the massacre of Ye Residence, their alliance become closer and more solid compared to before . Other clans which were still sitting on the fence became more determined . They thought that Long Zhan’s means were too bloody and that there was nothing to be sorry about even if they betrayed him .

On the other hand, it was complete chaos on Long Zhan’s side . Due to the issue of the hidden spies, there was friction between many parties . The heart of the people wasn’t in unison, and the entire group was about to crumble .

One had to say that Ye Wufeng was an extremely intelligent person . He used all sorts of ways to transmit the news of a spy hidden within Long Zhan’s ranks, and ruthlessly exterminated his bloodline . He also left behind an ambiguous relation between the purge and the Dark Church . This led to the current situation . Ximen Nu might be endlessly enraged at the fact that such a loyal and steadfast subordinate was sent to his death . However, the rage further strengthened him . Although he was the one who sent his subordinate to his death .

Ximen Nu had no regrets with the decision he made . If he was given the chance to choose again, he would still have made the cruel decision of sacrificing his subordinate . Pain was something the leader must bear . He had to be cruel to others, and at the same time, he had to be cruel to himself .

Since the ancient times, there wasn’t a leader which managed to climb up the ranks without stepping on tens of thousands of corpses . Among the corpses, there would likely be the loved ones and many of the leaders’ friends .

……………… . .

The moment of parting arrived . In life, there were moments of meeting, and there were also moments where friends would leave one another .

Long Yi looked at Bertha, Shui Ruoyan, Ximen Wuhen and Long Ling’er who stood in front of him . He was surprised in his heart as none of them had tears in their eyes when they looked at him . On the contrary, they smiled broadly and bid farewell to Long Yi and the others .

“Second brother, it’s already late . You should be setting off soon . ” Ximen Wuhen said to Long Yi . As she stared at Long Yi with her big beautiful eyes, there wasn’t a single trace of sadness as she blinked at him .

“Yes, my husband, hurry up and go . It is important that you arrive before the war starts . ” Long Ling’er also added . She appeared as though she couldn’t wait to be rid of Long Yi .

Long Yi was stunned and made a wry smile on his face . He touched his nose as he didn’t know what was going on . As a matter of fact, he originally intended to allow Long Ling’er and Ximen Wuhen follow him on his journey . However, he threw that thought to the back of his head after receiving Yin Jian’s intelligence . Pulling the two of them closer to him, he ordered them to follow Shui Ruoyan closely if they realized that there was something suspicious going on .

Initially, the two of them disagreed with Long Yi . However, after some discussion, they were more than happy to agree with whatever Long Yi had to say . This contrast was so great that Long Yi was unable to accept the outcome for a period of time .

He had doubts in his mind, but Long Yi didn’t have the time to ask any more questions . In any case, he had instructed the Skynet Intelligence Organization to keep out an eye on the whereabouts of these women .

Long Yi looked at Bertha . She was the only one who seemed normal . Although she was also smiling, anyone could see the reluctance and sadness in her eyes . As the only person in the Fox Clan to have the bloodline of the Silver Fox, it was impossible for her to wander everywhere with Long Yi . Not to mention that this time, her aunt, Mea Empress, said that she was going into seclusion . Mea Empress left everything to Bertha and asked her to discuss the matter about the Fox Clan with Yin Jian .

“Let’s go……” Long Yi waved his hand . Bringing along Nalan Ruyue and Wushuang, they flew into the sky . In an instant, all three of them disappeared into the distance . In everyone’s eyes, they became three small black dots as they flew into the distance .

Finally, Bertha could no longer hold her feelings back and her tears burst out of her eyes . Ximen Wuhen, Shui Ruoyan, and Long Ling’er were also dejected but they consoled Bertha in succession .

When Long Yi and the two women reached the edge of the Hengduan Mountains, Long Yi stopped in his tracks . Flying above the Hengduan Mountains, he slowly descended .

It was a piece of verdant bamboo forest beneath them . There was a clear brook flowing around the bamboo forest, and along with the gurgling sound of water, there was the sound of flowing water hitting the multi-colored cobblestones at the bottom of the brook . It was really an enjoyable moment for everyone’s spirit .

At this time, a clear and melodious singing voice drifted along with flowing water . Long Yi and others were unable to understand the meaning of that song, but they were able to enter a special state of mind .

“This voice appears to be familiar . Long Yi, don’t you feel so too?” Wushuang asked .

“Yes, this song feels extremely familiar!” Nalan Ruyue nodded her head and agreed with Wushuang .

With a light smile on his lips, Long Yi held Wushuang and Nalan Ruyue with his left and right hand respectively . He held onto their hand as he led them towards the source of the beautiful voice .

A thick bamboo pole slanted towards the center of the brook . A peerless beauty could be seen sitting elegantly on top of this bamboo pole . On her body, she was wrapped up in a coarse cloth, and a layer of hemp garment . Her pants were rolled up to her calf, and her feet kicked against the surface of the water as she sang . To everyone’s surprise, the woman had a bushy snow-white fox tail hanging behind her . She was clearly a woman from the Fox Clan .

Nalan Ruyue and Wushuang were stunned for a good while before shouting in unison . “Mea Empress!”

Long Yi wasn’t surprised at all . He looked at Mea Empress who was singing like a cheerful village girl with a smile . Currently, she had the appearance of a simple girl, but she was obviously extremely refined in her actions . Compared to her previous dignified appearance in the city, this was much better .

After Mea Empress finished singing, she turned around and looked towards Long Yi’s trio . Although her hair was tied into two simple braids at the moment, she appeared especially moving .

“Mea Empress, Bertha said that you were in a seclusion . How are you able to appear here?” Nalan Ruyue asked in confusion .

Mea Empress smiled as she replied Nalan Ruyue, “Why don’t you ask your dear husband? He is the reason why I am here . Also, you don’t have to call me Mea Empress any longer . From now on, you can just address me by my name, Lianxin . Call me big sister Lianxin . ”

When Wushuang and Nalan Ruyue heard Mea Empress’ words, they instantly turned their heads towards Long Yi .

With a shrug of his shoulders, he told them about what happened with Mea Empress . The two women were shocked . They had no idea that the Mea Empress who looked so healthy in front of them was affected by such a condition . She was actually at death’s door when they saw her the other day .

“Long Yi, do you have a method to cure big sister Lianxin?” Wushaung asked .

“I am powerless about this . The meridians in her entire body and her internal organs have already begun to wither . Even if someone used the forbidden light magic spell on her, I’m afraid that it would be unable to save her . The only thing it could do was to prolong the time she has left in this world . There is almost no way to completely cure her . ” Long Yi shook his head and sighed .

“Then, what are we going to do?” Nalan Ruyue nervously asked Long Yi . She was unable to believe the fact that Mea Empress was actually dying .

“Wushuang, I need your help for this . I hope that you can make a trip down to Origin Ice . Bring Lianxin with you . ” Long Yi looked at Wushuang and sincerely requested .

Wushuang was startled and she suddenly thought of something, “Long Yi, you want to use the crystal coffin to suppress big sister Lianxin’s condition?”

Long Yi nodded his head . Apart from this, he couldn’t think of any other way . The only thing he could do now was to delay Mea Empress’ death . In order to do that, he wanted to let her sleep inside the crystal coffin . He would slowly think of a way to cure her .

There wasn’t much time left, and the four of them quickly resumed their journey . With great haste, they rushed towards the border of the Proud Moon Empire .

After two days, the four of them were able to reach the border of the Proud Moon Empire . It was just like they had expected . A huge part of the snow had already melted . The water produced from the melted snow had flowed everywhere, and it even went as far as to submerge villages and cities which were situated in low-lying areas . Right after the calamity with the snow, the Proud Moon Empire was hit with a series of floods . The Proud Moon Empire was truly plagued with misfortunes .

Wushuang didn’t speak much, but she turned and gave Long Yi a deep stare . The love she had for this man closed the gap of thousands of years between them . She was unable to cry and act like a spoiled child in front of him . Although she was reluctant to part with him, one look from her was all it took for Long Yi to know what she was thinking . Sometimes, words were not needed when a couple wanted to express their emotions . The communication through each other’s soul was enough to let each other know what the other party was thinking .

Wushuang took Mea Empress and flew away . ‘Parting is for a better reunion’, This sentence was etched deep into Wushuang’s memory .

“Let’s go! What are you looking at? They are long gone . ” Nalan Ruyue said with a smile .

Long Yi turned his head and stared at Nalan Ruyue . He stared deep into her eyes as he looked at her smiling face . There was a trace of pity in his gaze .

“My husband, what is going on? Why on earth are you looking at me like this? It’s making me feel uneasy . Are you hiding something from me?” Seeing the trace of pity in Long Yi’s eyes, the heart of Nalan Ruyue suddenly jumped . She couldn’t control herself as she asked him with worry in her voice .

“Don’t let your imagination run wild . Let’s go! We have to continue with our journey . Don’t you see that the ice and snow is almost completely melted? Our army might have already started clashing with the Proud Moon Empire . ” Long Yi smiled and pinched Nalan Ruyue’s beautiful face . He gave her his cheeky smile and grabbed her hand .

Nalan Ruyue suspiciously looked at Long Yi and nodded her head . Tightening her grip on Long Yi’s hand, they began to advance towards the Yatesianna defense line .

Throughout their journey, Nalan Ruyue rested on Long Yi’s back occasionally when she felt tired . However, Long Yi never stopped for a rest and completed the entire journey in one go .

Currently, the military camps were situated side by side . They stretched as far as the eye could see . All kinds of flags were fluttering in the wind, and the stern atmosphere could be felt from afar . The troops of the Nalan Empire and Violent Dragon Empire were impatient as they had been hibernating all winter . Their blood was boiling and their morale had reached its highest point .

Without attracting much attention, Long Yi and Nalan Ruyue made their way towards the Unparalleled Battalion . It was an independent battalion which was situated in the midst of the Violent Dragon Legion .

When Beitang Yu saw that Long Yi had returned, excitement flashed in her eyes . However, she quickly calmed down as she summoned Tyrant Bear and the other high-ranking military officers . Since Long Yi had arrived, they could begin the military conference .

Looking at Beitang Yu who developed the air of a peerless general around here, Long Yi secretly praised her in his heart . This female general had obtained unimaginable glory in the battlefield . He was also proud of himself . After all, she was trained by him .

Eventually, all the high-ranking military officers were gathered . Long Yi sat on the commander’s chair as he felt their feverish gazes on his face .

“Vice Legion Commander Ximen Tian, is he still in the legion?” Long Yi asked slowly .

“Replying to general, two days ago, Vice Legion Commander received Patriarch Ximen’s transfer order . He is currently en route, returning to Soaring Dragon City . ” Beitang Yu answered .

Long Yi nodded his head . The absence of Ximen Tian had something to do with him as well . After thinking for a little bit, Long Yi loudly declared, “Tonight, all of you will follow me . We’ll enter the legion together . I want complete control over the entire Violent Dragon Legion . ”
