Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

The clang of metal on metal was deafening as the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword clashed fiercely with Su Jinghong's Azure Thunder Spear.

"Netherworld Sword Soul!"

As Li Moxuan finished speaking, more than a dozen dark spirits burst forth from the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, and the Netherworld Sword Soul appeared out of thin air.

These sword spirits had no physical form, resembling ghostly figures wielding swords. They were surrounded by deathly aura, their eyes were empty yet their attacks were deadly. They split into two groups, left and right, and, in coordination with their swords, surrounded Su Jinghong from three sides.

"What trick are you up to now?"

Su Jinghong charged forward with her spear, her figure transforming into azure lightning. The Thunder Spear swept and slashed, forcing back the sword spirit that was close at hand.

However, the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword kept its sights on her vital points, moving up and down, left and right, unpredictable, while the sword spirit continued to entangle and disrupt her, blocking all her paths of attack.

Li Moxuan stood still, his sword finger moving slightly, controlling the entire situation without getting involved in the battle, yet he firmly suppressed her.

No, I have to find a way to get close to him!

Su Jinghong took a deep breath, and the lightning of the Thunder Spear surged, transforming into a thunder dragon over ten feet long. He leaped into the air and unleashed a powerful attack, tearing apart the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword and its sword spirit with extreme ferocity.

The opportunity is coming!

Su Jinghong gripped her gun and charged straight at Li Moxuan. Li Moxuan had already anticipated her next move and calmly pointed his sword.

The Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword suddenly rose into the air, swooping down towards Su Jinghong's attack path. If she didn't dodge, she would definitely be pierced through the head by the sword.

At the same time, more than a dozen sword souls merged into one, forming a giant Netherworld Sword Soul, wielding a Netherworld Greatsword, and slashed horizontally at her waist, attacking from above and below, leaving her no way out.

Su Jinghong had no choice but to abandon his offensive, grit his teeth and change his move. He used his spear to block the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, twisted his waist and abdomen to avoid the sword blade, and the lightning at the tip of his spear exploded, barely managing to repel the giant shadow of the sword soul.

She just couldn't understand why it was so difficult for Li Moxuan to fight her, even though he was two minor realms lower than her.

And for some reason, he always seemed to anticipate his next move, which was really strange...

Su Jinghong naturally had no idea that Li Moxuan had reached the extreme realm twice. On the surface, he appeared to be at the third level of immortality, but in reality, he was on par with the fifth level of immortality.

With the power of the four divine pearls, dealing with a fifth-level immortal being would be a piece of cake...

Li Moxuan's eyes were cold as he poured all his divine power into the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, shouting, "Ten Thousand Souls Return to One Sword!"

All the Netherworld Sword Souls merged into the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword, causing the sword to grow to over ten feet in size, transforming into a giant Netherworld sword that governs reincarnation. It stood suspended in mid-air, its oppressive aura sweeping across the entire Frost Forbidden City.

With red eyes, Su Jinghong gripped the gun with both hands and thrust out her strongest shot with all her might.

"Thunderous God-Slaying Thrust!"

The Azure Lightning and the Netherworld Divine Light collided violently. Amidst the blinding light that filled the world, the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword swept through the air with unstoppable force, crushing the Thunder Dragon Spear shadow and slashing towards Su Jinghong.

Yue Xiling's face paled in surprise, "Sister Jinghong!"

"Lord Spiritual Master!!"

When the bright light faded, Su Jinghong collapsed to the ground, leaving a huge sword mark on the ground beside her.

Clearly, Li Moxuan deliberately missed the mark; otherwise, the sword would have struck her neck.

Why not summon the guardian spirit?

Since he had promised Yue Xiling, Li Moxuan didn't intend to kill her, but only wanted to teach her a lesson. However, he didn't expect that this stubborn girl wouldn't even summon her guardian spirit when she was about to die.

That sword strike could have been easily blocked by the guardian deity, thus initiating a second battle between the guardian deities...

Su Jinghong propped herself up and stood up, her eyes defiant. "Your cultivation level is lower than mine. Even if you win by summoning a guardian deity, it won't be honorable!"

"So dying is glorious?"

Li Moxuan was astonished by her thought process. She was truly amazing; it was no wonder she had survived until now…

Just then, a guard came out of the Illusionary Heaven Palace. "Your Highness, the Heavenly Lord has agreed to let the two of you in!"

Upon hearing this, the guards blocking the palace gates stopped obstructing them and made way...

"Senior, let's go!"

"Um……"

Li Moxuan sheathed the Seven Star Dragon Abyss Sword and followed Yue Xiling into the Illusionary Heaven Palace, whereupon the besieging soldiers dissipated.

Soon, the two entered the Moonflower Palace, where Yue Qingxuan had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing her long-lost daughter, she couldn't help but feel a little excited and walked over.

Noticing her wary gaze, Yue Qingxuan stopped in her tracks. A thousand words were on the tip of her tongue, but she could only manage one sentence: "How have you been all these years?"

"Thanks to you, I'm doing very well..."

Yue Qingxuan knew that she still resented her, but there was nothing she could do, after all, it was her own choice in the first place...

"I've removed the warrant for your arrest. Stay a few more days this time!"

Yue Xiling still wanted to ask her for help, but not wanting to make the situation too tense, she nodded slightly.

"And this is...?"

Yue Qingxuan's gaze fell on Li Moxuan. With such a commotion, it was hard not to attract attention!

Most importantly, I can't see through his romantic destiny. Could he be...?

He's my friend!

Yue Xiling didn't offer much explanation, and got down to business, "I came back this time to ask you to help me find Ayou. I've lost contact with her for a long time!"

He paused for a moment, then said, "If you help me find Ayou, I can grant you one request: I'll do anything you want!"

Clearly, Jiang Ciyou holds a very important place in her heart.

Yue Qingxuan shook his head with relief, "No need to look anymore..."

"why?"

Yue Xiling clenched her fists, a bad premonition rising in her heart. Could it be that Ayou had already...?

“tide Ling…”

A familiar and gentle voice sounded behind her. Yue Xiling was startled and slowly turned around.

Not only her, but Li Moxuan also turned to look at this long-lost old friend...

Upon seeing Jiang Ciyou standing at the door, Yue Xiling was stunned for a moment before rushing forward and throwing herself into her arms. "Ciyou, thank goodness, you're alright!"

"Why didn't you answer the divine decree? Do you know how worried I was when I couldn't reach you these past few days? I thought you..."

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I apologize. Don't cry!"

Jiang Ciyou comforted Yue Xiling as if she were a child, then turned her gaze to Li Moxuan.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Jiang Ciyou said with a smile, "Long time no see!"

"Yes, it's been a long time..."

Chapter 416: Do you two know each other?

"You two...know each other?"

Yue Xiling's gaze darted back and forth between the two, her expression one of utter surprise.

"Yes, he is Ling Yan, the old friend of the Tang Clan I mentioned to you before..."

"what?"

Yue Xiling's expression became even stranger, with an indescribable feeling. She stared at Li Moxuan with a deep gaze, "Senior, why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't know you two knew each other before you asked me to help you find someone!" Li Moxuan shrugged.

His gaze fell on Jiang Ciyou. "By the way, the Emperor has already told me the whole story, and things have already been taken care of. Please accept my condolences!"

"I wanted to let you know a long time ago, but I couldn't get in touch with you, so I kept putting it off until now..."

"Okay, thank you!"

Jiang Ciyou sighed softly. Five years had passed, and she seemed to have come to terms with it all long ago. "What are your plans for the future?"

"The person has been delivered. If there's nothing else, I'll head back to Qianji City..."

"Oh? So urgent?"

Yue Xiling took the initiative to persuade her to stay, "Senior, you must be tired from your journey. Please stay and rest for a while!"

She paused for a moment, then continued, "It's perfect timing since you and Ayou haven't seen each other in so long, you two should catch up..."

"That's right!"

Yue Qingxuan walked up to Li Moxuan, carefully examined him, and slowly said, "Young hero, if you leave like this, outsiders will probably say that my Huanmengtian has failed in its hospitality!"

She waved to Jiang Ciyou, "Ciyou, you take Xiling downstairs to catch up! I'll have a chat with this young hero!"

"it is good……"

Jiang Ciyou grabbed Yue Xiling's hand. "Xiling, let's go!"

"But……"

Yue Xiling was a little worried. She didn't know if her mother had reached the seventh level of immortality. What if her mother wanted to harm Li Moxuan?

"It's alright, go ahead!"

Li Moxuan waved his hand, his gaze meeting Yue Qingxuan's in mid-air. "I also wanted to have a chat with the Heavenly Lord, so don't worry!"

"Then be careful!"

Yue Xiling left with Jiang Ciyou, but as soon as she stepped outside, she saw two children coming to greet her, and Yu Ziyi even grabbed her other hand.

"Ayou, what, what's going on?"

Although five years had passed, Yue Xiling's mind was still not working properly. She was stunned for a moment, then her face showed surprise, "You didn't spend these five years getting married and having children, did you?"

"You're still so silly, adorably silly..."

Jiang Ciyou smiled helplessly, "They are, in a sense, my adopted children. I'll explain to you later..."

the other side,

"sit down!"

Li Moxuan did not sit down as Yue Qingxuan had suggested. "No need, we don't have much to talk about. Just ask whatever you have questions!"

"You just said you had something you wanted to talk to me about?"
