Chapter 286: Inform Him to Meet Us
*Swoosh!*
General Jiang made his move to take Saintess Mingyue back from Miko’s hands. Regardless, Sylvia confronted the ambush with her long, razor-sharp claws to deflect the trajectory before kicking the attacker away from Miko.
"You are actually only at Demi-God Peak Stage level, but your body constitution supports you in breaking past the Deity boundary, huh. Nevertheless, none can touch our saintess." Sylvia spread her hands, summoning her two blood clones.
"People nowadays are in the business of meddling about other people’s business." General Jiang frowned when he found his scarlet vambrace got a long scratch from the devil’s claws.
"Do you want us to just stay silent? We happened to pass by here and found many of Blood Moon’s old timers bullied our young friend. Saintess Mingyue is the only liaison to the good relationship between your Blood Moon and our Sacred Sakura, and you already know that." Sylvia raised her claws and exerted her dominance.
Her Immortal Blood Demonic Technique was superior to the Blood Moon Technique. Thus, she could suppress them if they dared to move against her group.
"They’re only three. Sacred Sakura won’t hold us accountable as long as we don’t hurt them. We need to take our saintess back. I’ll bear the consequences." General Jiang commanded his troops to assist him.
"Sir, Saintess Miko is a special existence in Sacred Sakura. The entire Sacred Sakura Holy Land will listen to her command." The nearby adviser tried to restrain her Great General from rash action.
Once they offended Saintess Miko, it was the same as challenging the Sacred Sakura Holy Land.
"..." General Jiang’s frown grew more profound, and it felt so uncomfortable. It was just a playful girl who played fake righteousness, but he couldn’t touch her!?
"Nonsense! There is a wisdom about the rule of every sect known as ’mind your own business’! She has already broken the rule and interfered with the Blood Moon Sovereign’s order. Also, we need to take back our saintess, catch the traitor, and return. Don’t hurt Saintess Miko." General Jiang was unconvinced.
He released his adviser’s grasp from his arm, then went with his warriors to take back Saintess Mingyue from Saintess Miko’s hands.
"Ah, uh?" Mingyue’s vision gradually became apparent as she slowly regained her consciousness.
She received a painful blow, and it caused her to half pass out. She was caught off guard, but the plan still had to continue.
The soothing spiritual energy flowed within her body. She soon realized that she was in Miko’s arms. The nearby 10th Rank high-devil and 7th Rank blonde elf tried their best to support the barrier to protect themselves from the bombardment.
"Hahaha, you got overwhelmed by my two blood clones. Your Blood Moon Technique is still far from enough to suppress me!" Sylvia laughed like a villain, but she knew it.
Her blood clones wouldn’t last long because the enemies were many extermination experts, specialists in eradicating demons...
"!?" Mingyue wanted to say something, but a large, dark, metallic floating ship suddenly descended from behind the clouds as if it was going to squash them to death.
"!!!" Everyone in the vicinity was also shocked. They prepared to release their moves, but the floating ship suddenly stopped and hovered three hundred meters above them.
"What else now?" General Jiang grimaced as his inner soul screamed to warn him about the danger coming from that strange, dark, metallic floating ship.
That ship was four hundred meters long, eighty meters wide and forty meters high... a relatively large size for even a renowned sect.
However, the Blood Moon’s Demon King Slayer Squad paled when they saw the flag of a pair of seven-petal pink flowers. It was Sacred Sakura’s floating ship!
"Fret not. It’s almost over." Miko whispered to Mingyue.
*Rumble!*
The terrifying pressure suppressed everyone, forcing them to fall to the ground without being able to exert any spiritual power to fight back.
The 9th Rank experts and the authentic 10th Rank powerhouses couldn’t withstand it as the pressure was far too much for them to handle.
"They’re under our protection. Inform the Blood Moon Sovereign to meet us at Sacred Sakura to resolve this matter."
A lady’s graceful voice spread hundreds of kilometers away, proclaiming the solution to the problem.
The terrifying suppression instantly disappeared, and everyone immediately returned to their feet.
Xue was trembling because the previous suppression also struck her. Even so, the opportunity had come, and she immediately took her servants away towards Saintess Miko before the Blood Moon’s experts could catch them.
"Then, that’s it. It’s just a treasure. Why did he want his daughter dead? I don’t know what happened, but the Blood Moon Sovereign needs to visit us to resolve his family matter properly." Miko waved her hand to all the Blood Moon’s experts before boarding the spaceship.
*Swoosh!*
General Jiang was just about to speak and greet the terrifying existence on the ship. Yet, it had already flown away into the sunset.
"Sigh... Sacred Sakura is interfering in this matter and getting too complicated. Her aura and voice alone can suppress us. What do you think about her power level?" General Jiang took off his war helmet and rubbed his hair in irritation.
"She is probably the Sacred Sakura Goddess, sir. Saintess Miko and Sacred Sakura will mediate this matter. We need to return immediately to report this to our Lord." The adviser sighed.
General Jiang nodded in agreement. More than a hundred warriors were injured, but none suffered fatal losses. Regardless, it would ruin their morale and public image as one of Blood Moon’s strongest forces.
He then led his people to fly away back to the south. The Blood Moon Sovereign would decide for it.
"What the heck? It all turned out to be just a family problem blown out of proportion?"
"I don’t think it’s that simple. I believe the Blood Empress was framed by someone from the Blood Moon Palace to ruin her for real. This isn’t the first time something like that has happened."
"I’m afraid that’s true. The Feng Royal Family is mysterious, but the palace could be on par with the battleground. Someone wants to eliminate the Blood Empress."
"Yeah, it’s just a treasure, and the Blood Moon Sovereign couldn’t possibly dispatch his strongest troops if there wasn’t an extraordinary emergency. Those despicable people might have cooked a trivial problem into a supermassive one."
"Yeah, she is pretty and loyal to Blood Moon Pavilion, especially the palace’s external affairs. Our sect received the favor under the Blood Moon’s banner thanks to her. The Blood Empress can’t possibly be a traitor to the Blood Moon Pavilion."
"Hey, I’m sure you’re biased because of her beauty."
"You rogue cultivators will never understand the matters between a great sect and its subordinate sects."
"Tsk, it’s just about a strong backer. Fortunately, Saintess Miko came in time to save Saintess Mingyue and Blood Empress. Otherwise, who knows what the opposing faction would do to them."
"It’s hard to imagine. They even dared to frame the two beauties as traitors. However, this problem grew big and became a matter between the two sacred lands now."
"I just hope they will resolve it peacefully."
The spectators began to leave with their various conversations. Rumours and gossip then spread to counter the news regarding Feng Xue as the traitor.
---
’Is this the result you want? Why not let Feng Xue be the Blood Moon’s traitor? She can literally sell her soul to us.’ Elena asked in confusion.
’That will give the Blood Moon Sovereign the greater blow. Similar to the Mermaid Kingdom’s case. We’ll assist her. As long as the situation doesn’t blow up too big for her to handle, then we won’t personally interfere.’ Elysia turned around and returned to the central command room.
’That’s for another kind of benefit, right? We don’t do favors for free, especially one with a big case like this.’ Elena could understand Elysia’s mindset, but they became a bit crafty lately.
’Not really, he needs to suffer and bleed a little. The final outcome is still up to Xue to decide. Nevertheless, we got a new good seedling under our banner.’ Elysia tapped her chin as if she was considering something.
She and her Goddess sisters would go to seclusion soon, and it would be the best to summon big trouble to the Sacred Mountain.
"Mama, we’re back~" Miko waved her hand as she returned. She was pleased because the outcome was better than she could have expected.
"Mm, welcome back." Elysia replied with a subtle nod, but Miko suddenly approached and hugged her.
"We pay our respects to the Sacred Sakura Goddess." Xue, Mingyue, and the six servants knelt down.
They felt incredibly nervous because Miko took them to meet the Sacred Sakura Goddess. However, they felt calm and comfortable shortly after. The pleasant atmosphere and the Goddess’ gentle voice soothed their souls.
"Raise your head. Xue, you are involved in a complicated matter, but fret not. You are under our protection. Your identity as Blood Empress Feng Xue will remain, and your new identity as Xue will conform to our arrangements." Elysia gave Miko a head pat, and then Miko stood next to her.
"Obey." Xue nodded reflexively as she was still immersed in appreciating the Sacred Sakura Goddess’ divine beauty. She would follow everything that Sacred Sakura would arrange for her because Miko had already notified her beforehand.
"It’s been a long and hard day for you. Rest well, or maybe you need a little rehabilitation as well. Eve, please guide them to Luna’s room." Elysia extended her hand.
"On your orders." Evelyn stepped forward and responded with a knight salute. She then led Mingyue, Xue, and the six servants away.
