Chapter 122: Chapter 122: The Bright Moon Rises Over the Sea

"You lord? A person from Chu."

Liang Hui’s eyes held a hint of mockery as he slightly exerted force on the hilt of his sword.

If the following words were as lacking in substance, they could stay behind.

"My lord, the Saintess of the Star Moon Tower, Yao Yue."

Then, she took out a neatly folded letter from her bosom and threw it toward Shao.

No sooner had the letter left the maid’s hands than it emitted dazzling Moonlight Essence, within which a graceful figure faintly appeared.

It clearly looked like a woman yet carried a supreme aura of dominance; with a single hand outstretched, she suddenly pressed towards Liang Hui.

Zoom!

The sharp sword was unsheathed, the brilliant light of the sword engulfed everything.

By the time the brilliance of the sword dissipated, all traces of the Moonlight Essence and the charming figure had vanished.

Only the young man stood with his sword, holding a piece of letter in his hand.

The shock was visible in the eyes of the maid standing at the base of the hill.

The letter in her bosom was personally folded by the Saintess and imbued with a portion of her power.

She knew that the Taoist Child of the Beast Taming Sect could catch it, but she did not expect it to be so effortless.

Liang Hui opened the letter in his palm, and rows of delicate writing appeared in his sight.

A moment later.

The youth’s mouth curled into a smile, and he exerted force with his palm, turning the letter into dust.

"Yao Yue wishes to battle me, if she wins, the Beast Taming Sect will give up its gate and retreat elsewhere, if defeated, she will lead the Star Moon Tower’s forces away and not step within a hundred thousand li of the Beast Taming Sect ever again in this war."

"Does she have the qualifications for this?"

"Qin Taozi, the higher-ups of our sect have already agreed to the lord’s proposal."

"And they have already delivered this proposal to the Beast Taming Sect."

The maid spoke slowly.

Liang Hui fell silent, it seemed that this Saintess’s identity was not simple.

Moreover, the Star Moon Tower must have reached its limit, as it had made no progress while staying here for nearly a month.

But this was exactly to my liking!

His mouth spread into an even wider grin.

"This battle will decide victory or defeat, and determine life or death!"

"Good."

The maid’s face took on a cold expression, and her eyes slightly narrowed.

Too arrogant, does he think he will surely win?

Once you engage in combat, then you will know what is invincible, what is undefeated!

She had absolute confidence in her own lord.

Especially since that seemingly prophetic memory had come, the lord had trodden her own path.

Liang Hui watched as the maid turned and left.

Once she had disappeared, he leaped down and made his way step by step toward the sect.

Since there was to be a duel to the death, there was no point in skirmishing further, it was time to return to the sect.

The youth’s figure gradually faded into the woods.

...

The war in Tuzhou had already drawn the attention of Zhou and Chu.

With the explosion of a single piece of news, it became the center of attention for all.

The Saintess of the Star Moon Tower and the Taoist Child of the Beast Taming Sect had agreed to a duel to the death to determine the survival of their respective powers.

The surviving powers of Tuzhou, as well as those from the neighboring states and outstanding talents, all made their way towards the Beast Taming Sect using their own methods.

They wanted to see how far the younger generation’s top prodigies had come.

However, due to the urgency of time, only a few powers would be able to make it.

Seven days later.

On the plain, the green grass swayed with the breeze, and within a ten-li radius, a large crowd had gathered.

The noise was deafening, and various sounds filled the entire plain.

"Look quickly, the Yao Yue Saintess has arrived."

Until a woman came at a leisurely pace, stepping on moonlight that arrived despite it being daytime, her body draped in moonlight as pure as water.

She wore a light gauze dress, her face beautiful and elegant without flaw, her starry eyes flickering, intoxicating to behold.

The clamor fell silent, and all eyes turned to the woman.

Yao Yue slowly walked to the center of the plain, waved her hand gently, and silver radiance scattered.

A jade table and a cushion appeared before her.

With a faint smile, the woman promptly sat cross-legged on the cushion, took up the teapot, and began to pour.

Until both cups were filled with tea.

Tower! Tower! Tower!

Footsteps resounded like the roaring of war drums through heaven and earth.

The surrounding crowd all had pale faces as if their hearts were about to explode.

Fear filled their eyes.

A figure donned in a blue robe, carrying a long spear on his back, and with a sword at his waist came striding forward.

His black hair billowed, his features were ordinary, but his eyes seemed to hold the rising sun and the radiant moon.

As he reached Yao Yue, his eyes, like divine swords, examined the woman before him.

Even with his discerning gaze, he had to admit the woman’s beauty was indeed outstanding.

"Brother Qin, please sit,"

her red lips slightly parted as she gestured to the cushion in front of her.

Liang Hui chuckled lightly and sat down directly.

"An interesting person."

Yao Yue seemed not to catch the implication in the youth’s words.

Her delicate fingers gently tapped the table, the smile on her face remaining shallow.

"Brother Qin, have some tea,"

Liang Hui extended his hand to caress the teacup, only after a moment did he lift it to take a sniff.

Then, he put the cup down.

"Good tea, but a shame about the company," he remarked.

"So, the ’right person’ is the one Brother Qin adores? Indeed, that’s a pity,"

Yao Yue’s red lips curved up, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she lifted the teacup to her lips for a sip.

It was as if she was facing an old friend, not the Taozi from the rival sect.

"Aren’t you talking too much? When I take off your head later, I’ll be quick to reduce your suffering," he retorted.

"If you, Brother Qin, would surrender to me, not only will the Beast Taming Sect be safe, but Great Chu can also offer Tuzhou as your base."

Her smile remained as she put the teacup back on the table, her expression sincere as if Tuzhou was hers to dispose of at will.

"Brother Qin is also acknowledged as a prodigy in this world; it would be a pity for such talent to be lost."

Liang Hui’s expression was indifferent as he lifted the teacup in front of him.

"Enough talk, let’s battle!"

With a long howl, rolling waves of energy rose, and the ground cracked apart.

Only the silhouette shrouded in the Moonlight Essence remained calm and composed.

Her tender palm, cutting through the waves of energy, struck towards the youth.

Bang!

In the midst of the tremendous roaring sound, a graceful silhouette receded unsteadily.

Seeing this, the surrounding crowd began to boil over.

"The Yao Yue Saintess is actually retreating,"

"How is it possible? The Saintess dominates the mountains and rivers of Jingzhou for a million miles; she has no equal among the younger generation."

Disbelieving noise spread across the plains, mostly from the people of Chu Nation.

They had heard of the invincible legends of Yao Yue.

"She only took a few steps back; how could the invincible Yao Yue Saintess be defeated?"

"Victory will surely belong to the Saintess in the end."

From within the ranks of the Star Moon Tower, a loud shout covered all the clamor.

Yao Yue did not pay attention to the commotion around her; she fixed her gaze on the tall figure emerging from the dust, her eyes now filled with earnestness.

"Not a bad physique, but still destined to lose," she declared loudly, the sound vibrating through the heavens and the earth.

Silver radiance burst from her palm, launching an attack.

Suddenly, Yao Yue halted her advance.

The night sky descended amid the daylight, and everything turned dim. Behind Liang Hui, a pristine full moon slowly rose, showering down its holy light.

And in that bright moon, one could faintly make out a shadow.

Beneath their feet, the Azure Sea surged violently.

"What on earth is this?" everyone gasped in shock.

Under the night sky, amid the roaring Azure Sea, with the pristine moon hanging high, the blue-robed youth stood holding his cup, never having moved an inch.

"Yao Yue? Yao Yue? I wonder if you can catch this moon," he mused.
