Ye Wu Chen"s gaze changed drastically. But it was already too late.

Fortunately, the needle didn"t hurt Mu Ru Yue. It just lightly grazed her finger. A drop of blood slowly seeped out from the cut, landing on the ground…

Swish!

Boundless light spread out from the statue, covering the sky and ground over to Mu Ru Yue. Mu Ru Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. When she opened her eyes again, she discovered she had reached a battlefield…

Smoke and dust filled the entire area in the battlefield, covering over the entire sky…

There was a handsome divine-like man standing right at the center of the battlefield. His ink-black hair was fluttering slightly under the gale. His white robes were not stained in the slightest by the smoke and dust all around him. His arrogant, cold and stern expression was naked to the crowd"s eyes.

There was a tender and adorable baby in the man"s arms. The infant seemed to either not feel the danger of the battlefield or she knew that the man will surely protect her. Hence, she was sleeping soundly.

A gentle glow was given off from her childish face under the sun"s radiance.

“It"s him…”

Mu Ru Yue was stunned for a moment.

"This man obviously looked like that statued person!

"In comparison to his statue form, he had a more domineering grandeur, looking down on the common populace from the corner of his eyes."

“Wu w.a.n.g, you won"t be able to escape this time. Quickly pa.s.s us the Alchemy Book! Otherwise, your daughter and you will certainly die at this moment!”

The crowd gave the man standing under the gale a final diplomatic note before surrounding him.

The man laughed rampantly and brazenly under the crowd"s encirclement. “You want the Alchemy Book? If you"re capable, feel free to s.n.a.t.c.h it. But it"s just that you don"t have my bloodline in your blood so even if you obtain the Alchemy Book, you won"t be able to contract it…”

Boom!

The ground and mountain swayed at that instant. The entire battlefield shuddered momentarily.

An enormous flame sword had gradually appeared behind the man"s back, blazing before everyone"s gaze…

A sword that pierced through the sky!

It gave rise to countless layers of waves!

The enormous abruptly expanded outwards when it struck towards his foes, forming into countless identical swords. It instantly flattened the entire battlefield…

It was as if a punch had landed on Mu Ru Yue"s heart, making her heart to tighten momentarily. She was no longer able to shift her gaze away from the divine-like white robes under the gale.

"Powerful!

"That"s right, this man is too strong. His might makes me feel how puny I really am. I similarly know that there are people as mighty as him in the world…

"But there"s something about him that is attracting me to him. I can"t help but want to near him…"

Swish!

Just when Mu Ru Yue raised her hand and almost touched the man"s white robes, an intense suction force appeared, forcefully dragging her out from that battlefield…

“Mu Er, you"ve awakened?”

A man"s handsome face was reflected within her eyes the moment she opened them.

With a faint smile, he mentioned, “You"ve already been trapped within a mirage for three months already…”

"Three months?"

Mu Ru Yue got a shock.

"I just thought only a short moment has pa.s.sed. I didn"t expect that three months had already pa.s.sed."

“I"m fine.” Mu Ru Yue raised her brow slightly. She swept a light glance at Ye Wu Chen and asked, “Wu Chen, you"ve broken through?”

Ye Wu Chen smiled charmingly as he replied, when you were within that mirage, your husband wasn"t wasting any time as I have been cultivating while waiting for you.”

“Mhm.”

Mu Ru Yue shut her eyes gently. Her white robes fluttered by itself without the a.s.sistance of the wind. A trace of light breeze slowly reappeared in her surroundings.
