“David was able to destroy even the illusory image of the Tianyuan Pavilion Master, showing that he is not afraid of the Tianyuan Pavilion at all. Therefore, the power behind him is far beyond our imagination.”
“A hasty act of revenge will not only fail to avenge David, but will also plunge the Asura Hall into a crisis. It would be better if we were patient and investigate the forces behind David before making further plans.”
Sang Lan also disbanded the formation and slowly said, “The Great Elder is right, brother. Our most important task now is to stabilize the situation, protect the Asura Palace, and once Father comes out of seclusion, everything will be settled.”
Sang Qi was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, his laughter filled with sadness and helplessness.
“Alright! Alright! Alright! You’re all afraid, but I’m not! Even if I die, I will avenge my brother!”
He struggled violently, breaking through the remaining power of the array, and shot out of the room like an arrow, leaving behind only a black afterimage.
Sang Lan watched Sang Qi’s leaving figure, a glimmer of worry flashed in her eyes.
He knew that a greater crisis would soon befall Shura Palace.
Meanwhile, within the Heavenly Chasm Pavilion, the shock caused by the disappearance of the Pavilion Master’s figure had not yet subsided. The Pavilion Master sat on the main seat, his eyes looking coldly at the people below him: “David, Asura Hall, we will resolve this matter slowly”
The second heaven in the Crystal City was so dazzling that even the air was filled with sparkling light.
Mo Qingyun held David’s hand, her skirt swept across the bluestone path, creating sparkling starlight.
He pointed at the lanterns hanging and rotating on the street, his eyes brighter than the light: “Look, these are the unique ‘Track Lights’ of the Second Heaven, which can reflect the street scene from a hundred years ago. Since this is your first time in the Second Heaven, let me show you around.”
David stared at the light twinkling in her hair, his fingertips unconsciously caressing the warmth of her palm.
He had never set foot in this world before, and his previous years had been spent in battle and cultivation. He had never seen such a majestic and gentle sight.
The aroma of osmanthus flowers wafted from a tea shop at the corner of the street. A storyteller was telling the legend about the demon slaying carried out by the Tianyuan Pavilion Master a hundred years ago. Her voice was melodious and rhythmic, but it couldn’t compare to the charming smile of the woman beside her.
“The ‘Mirror Flower’ Lake is just ahead.”
Mo Qingyun pulled him around the corner. The surface of the lake was like a giant glass mirror, reflecting the pavilions floating in the air. “I heard that wishes granted in this lake are very effective.”
He squatted down, touched the surface of the water with his fingertips, and as the ripples spread, tiny golden scales appeared at the bottom of the lake—they were palm-sized koi fish whose scales changed rainbow colors according to the light and shadow.
