"Senior Mo Ran."
Hua saw the newcomer stand up, and Tu Er and the others also gathered around.
"The item has been retrieved."
After Mo Ran finished speaking, a drop of blood encased in crystal was handed to Chu Yu from his palm.
"Thank you for your trouble." Chu Yu took it without looking at it much and put it away directly.
As the date approached, Huan Yu and Mo Qi appeared together, and judging from their appearance, they must have come together.
The two had extremely similar aura fluctuations. After many years, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox had finally reappeared in the Six Realms. Everything seemed to be ready, and now they were just waiting for Huan Yue.
On the evening of the last day of the originally scheduled date, the Phantom Moon finally arrived.
"I'm late," Huan Yue said apologetically as she saw the room full of people.
Thirty years had passed since they last met. When Hua saw Huan Yue again, she felt that he seemed different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different. If she had to say, it would probably be that he had become more easygoing.
Huan Yue's brows held a new air of composure she had never possessed before.
But no one was in the mood for reminiscing at that moment. No one was sure what would happen after tomorrow. Despite all the preparations made, who could guarantee that everything would go perfectly?
At midnight, a blue light appeared in the sky above Biluo City, illuminating the entire city.
When Chu Yu and the others arrived, blood was gushing from Luo Yi's chest, but his previously aged face had regained its youthful firmness.
Luo Yi opened his palm and saw that his hands were covered in blood. He looked at Lan Jiao standing opposite him in disbelief. "You, are you going to kill me?"
"Master, are you going to kill me?"
The warmth that once filled Lan Jiao's eyes was gone, and her voice was icy as she said, "If I had known this would happen, I would have killed you the first time I saw you."
"So these people were also summoned by you, right?"
As Luo Yi spoke, his gaze swept over Chu Yu and Hua's group. As shrewd and calculating as Luo Yi was, how could he not know what Lan Jiao was planning to do?
Thirty years ago, when Lan Jiao woke up, he was momentarily distracted, but he quickly came to his senses. He didn't know about Chu Yu and the others' little tricks, but he simply chose not to care.
He wanted to gamble, gamble that his master wouldn't treat him that way, even though he already knew the answer in his heart. But even now, with Lan Jiao's sword piercing his heart and lungs, he still held onto a sliver of hope.
Hua's big eyes darted around, and then she looked at the Broken Illusion Zither in her arms. At that moment, she suddenly felt as if all her preparations had been in vain.
No one expected Luo Yi to get injured so easily. It's like you've set up a stage, all the actors and props are ready and waiting to start, but then the lead actor suddenly quits.
Hua looked at Luo Yi with a complicated expression. He truly felt that this old man was tormenting them. If they had known this would be the outcome, they wouldn't have been on tenterhooks for so long. However, since things hadn't reached the final stage, none of them dared to let their guard down.
Luo Yi walked step by step towards Lan Jiao, "Master, why are you doing this to me? Don't you think you're being too cruel?"
Lan Jiao frowned: "Luo Yi, are you really not clear-headed or are you pretending? Do you even remember what you said when I taught you swordsmanship?"
"Remember, I, Luo Yi, will never kill innocent people in my life."
"Then how did you do it? Can you even see what color your sword is?"
Hearing Lan Jiao's question, Luo Yi murmured, "Master, I just wanted to save you."
Lan Jiao shook her head, "You don't want to save me, you want to ruin me forever."
