The Ancient Realm Goddess
Facing Di Honghuo
“Jingtian, do we need to go back through the Celestial gate at Beifeng Peak Xue?” Qing Yue’er asked doubtfully.
It is not yet time for the Celestial gate to be opened. They had to break through with a certain technique or perhaps create their own door by creating a new portal. Both choices are not easy.
“In Honghuo already saw Mo Feng. He probably already knew of my whereabouts in Tongxuan. Do you think I should kill him or not?” Instead of answering, Mo Jingtian precisely threw a question.
Qing Yue’er was silent for a moment. Then he replied, “If he is not killed, I am afraid he will make a new demon hole like Di Feng Xuan. However, if kill him ... is it possible to do?”
For the time being, with his own strength he had no confidence to defeat a god. While Mo Jingtian still had not restored her strength. He was skeptical.
“Why not?” Mo Jingtian slightly grinned. “We go to Beifeng Puncang Xue.”
“Jingtian, what plan are you thinking?”
“You'll know later.”
Qing Yue’er snorted slightly with Mo Jingtian's mysterious-looking attitude. His flying sword became increasingly fast moving towards the Beifeng Xue Peak that was in Northern Tongxuan.
In just an instant, the tall peak that was enveloped with piles of snow was already visible. Previously, when Qing Yue’er closed the demon hole in North Tongxuan, she was not up to going to this place. He suddenly felt a nostalgic feeling.
His flying sword slid down. He set his foot on a high snowy peak. In the past, the air there felt so cold. However, with his current level of strength it only felt cooler than elsewhere.
“I remember, I used to run here chasing snow orchids disguised as white geese. She is so cunning,” Qing Yue’er said with a faint smile.
“That's a treasure from Guang Palace. Inheritance of Di Shi or Hua Shi, one of the war gods in the Heavenly Court.”
Qing Yue’er became surprised and interested after hearing that. “Looks like he's a great guy. Does he belong to the evil gods there?”
Mo Jingtian shook her head. He smiled as he looked into the distance. “War gods are indeed a great group. However, most of them had always closed themselves off and stayed away from the Heavenly Court. They were not like other gods who had to give blessings to people.
“You know? Baili Linwu took advantage of the opportunity to execute his plans. In the absence of a war god, he would not have many opponents. The road becomes very easy.”
“Cih! So so.” Qing Yue’er screeched mockingly. “Then can't we ask for their help? Their title was the god of war. They shouldn't have kept quiet if the war really exploded on Celestial.”
“It's not that easy.” Mo Jingtian sounded skeptical. “Baili Linwu is definitely guarding their place, keeping no enemies informed them of the chaos outside.”
“True. Baili Linwu is fucking!” Qing Yue’er snorted coldly. He really did not understand how such a person could become the ruler of the heavenly court. What has really happened in the past?
Mo Jingtian lowered his head while smiling flatly. He walked towards the edge of the snowy cliff. His hands were placed behind his body.
“However, the time will not be long,” said the man in a deep voice. “Baili Linwu .. will end up the same as her father.”
Her dad? Qing Yue’er wanted to ask further, but at that moment suddenly a red light that was so quickly darted closer to them. This makes him alert.
“Jingtian, someone's coming!”
Mo Jingtian turned his head. However, he did not look surprised. “I was indeed waiting In Honghuo.”
Qing Yue’er was speechless. So they came here intentionally to wait for their enemy. How could Mo Jingtian know that goddamn was coming there?
His feelings became worried. He quickly pulled Mo Jingtian to stand by his side. Just when the red light landed on the snowy surface, a huge explosion instantly occurred to shake the entire peak.
Some snow sections under the landslide cliffs. People could even see it from a distance. They were shocked and confused by the explosion that caused the cladding.
“What happened? What natural disasters happened in Beifeng Xue?”
“What natural disaster? The peak of Beifeng Xue was not like a volcano that could explode. It must be a cultivator!”
“You're right. Better just let it go. We will not have any advantage by coming there.”
Those who see it have the same thoughts. So, no one came to that snowy peak.
After the snow started to decrease, he could finally see the figure of Di Honghuo, the red-haired man who had sharp eyes. The sound of the man's laughter instantly echoed in the air which made his heart cringe.
What's so funny? grouse Qing Yue’er in heart.
“Excellent! I actually saw a girl protecting the great Di Futian! Where is your strength?” Di Honghuo asked with full of ridicule and insults. Such words did not reflect the identity of a god in the slightest.
“Why? Do you feel hurt because no one wants to protect you?” Qing Yue’er replied directly. His chin lifted slightly, showing his shocking courage.
“You …. Really dare to talk like that to me!” Di Honghuo became unhappy. Why would she feel envious of Mo Jingtian? Absolutely not!
“Indeed why don't I dare? Aren't you just a cruel slave ruler?”
Mo Jingtian chuckled at hearing that. While Di Honghuo became even more furious. Both of his eyes glared sharply, his expression darkened. How dare that girl say that?!
“You are suitable! Aren't you also the ones who have closed the demon holes here?!”
“True once.” Mo Jingtian replied casually.
Di Honghuo growled furiously. “Then I won't let you guys go back to the Celestials! Let you accompany those demons cooped up in the underworld!”
The man quickly gathered spiritual qi to attack. However, Mo Jingtian interrupted him immediately, “Wait a minute, Di Honghuo. Why are you in such a hurry?”
“Hmmp! Do you want to say something before being defeated?!” shouted Di Honghuo loudly.
Mo Jingtian remained calm. He smiled at Qing Yue’er then let go of his hand grip gently. “Stay here.”
“Cautious.” Qing Yue’er could only say that. He did not know how the man would face Di Honghuo, but he had to trust his abilities. Mo Jingtian couldn't possibly be rash.
Then the man walked closer to Di Honghuo. He said, “You know I don't have the strength at the moment. You can kill me easily.”
Di Honghuo snorted. “So don't you dare fight me! You may be feared by other gods, but that's the past. With your condition now, they will avenge their complaints,” he said in a mocking tone.
“Not so.” Mo Jingtian looked at the man in front of her deeply. “Because I'm weak so it's not fair if we fight physically.”
Those words made Di Honghuo laugh out loud, as if it was the funniest joke in the world. “Do you think I believe in justice?” Suddenly his expression turned cold. “There is no justice in this world!”
“Why did you say that?” Mo Jingtian's voice sounded soft. It was so soft that it could touch one's soul.
Di Honghuo seemed to be pulled into a stifling atmosphere. An old memory when his identity was still just that of an ordinary human suddenly popped up in his head. The pain and regret that had long been forgotten once again slashed his heart.
He's down. A moment later, a so miserable sound of sobbing came out of his mouth. It made Qing Yue’er surprised. Why is Di Honghuo crying?
“He didn't make any mistakes, but why did those people have to kill him cruelly?” Di Honghuo suddenly said in between his cries. “She is still too small to experience it.”
Qing Yue’er did not know how to react. She looked at Mo Jingtian in confusion, but the man didn't even notice her. Was he influencing Di Honghuo?
“Is that your son?” Mo Jingtian asked softly.
“Name Xiao Wu. I saw how her mother died giving birth to her. I thought I could take care of him to adulthood, but that happened ..”.
Mo Jingtian walked over to Di Honghuo. “Who did it?”
Di Honghuo did not reply. He shook his head, then frowned while clenching his hands. There is a struggle beginning to show. It seems like he is starting to realize something is wrong.
“Why didn't you answer? I will listen to the injustice you received,” Mo Jingtian said with her golden eyes.
“He was killed by …. No. ..” Di Honghuo looked at Mo Jingtian with a complicated expression. Between sadness, anger, hate, and other emotions. Both of his hands held his head in confusion.
“You …. In Futian! What are you doing to me?!”
