3580 Waiting
Skylink Monarch’s palace was built on a floating island in the sky. This island was elevated to the sky by the condensation of his immense spirit energy. Its surroundings were heavily guarded. Arrays and barriers had been combined to make a formidable defence.
Below this floating island, in the mountain range, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu stood atop a peak. They looked up at the sky, and their released divine sense fell on the island obscured by clouds.
“At first, I thought his palace was underground. I didn’t think it would be above us; sneaking in would be a bit troublesome.” Feng Jiu said softly as she looked up at the clouds.
It would have been easy with their cultivation level to sneak in if the palace was below. However, it was located above and closely guarded in all four directions with no place to hide. They’d likely be discovered as soon as they made their move.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze looked up and then suggested, “It should be easier to act at night. Let’s wait until then.”
“That’s fine.”
Feng Jiu agreed and looked at the scenery before turning to him, “Let’s find a place to rest then!” They had come straight to this mountain range from Qian Ling Mountain, without even entering a city. It was still early, so they could find a place to have a rest.
“Let’s go over there; there’s a waterfall,” Xuanyuan Mo Ze spotted a waterfall ahead.
“Mm, ” Feng Jiu took his hand, and they both leapt towards the waterfall.
At the waterfall, a figure in white sat cross-legged on a rock. His body emitted a faint glow, but his aura was so faint it seemed to blend in with the earth.
The sound of the waterfall trickling over the rocks, the breeze blowing, and the rustling of the leaves; nature’s sound and ambience instantly relaxed people.
“What would you like to eat? Game or something else?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze asked as they moved towards the waterfall.
“There is food in space, so there’s no need to bother. We can eat what we like.” Feng Jiu replied. As they reached the waterfall, she picked up a tree branch to play with.
After walking for a while and they reached the waterfall, she sensed Xuanyuan Mo Ze stop moving. She looked at him and then followed his gaze forward. The sight surprised her.
“Mo Chen?”
The man in white, sitting cross-legged, was none other than Mo Chen. His presence was obscured by a tree in front of her, and if she hadn’t followed Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s line of sight, she would never have noticed him. He emitted no aura, making it impossible for them to detect him.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s dark eyes landed on Mo Chen; his gaze flickered for a moment. “I didn’t expect to see you here. Are you here for Skylink Monarch, or did you wait for us specifically?”
When he heard their voices, Mo Chen, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, slowly opened them. His gentle gaze shifted from Xuanyuan Mo Ze to Feng Jiu, who was dressed in red. His eyes were filled with a tender warmth, and he smiled.
“I came here specifically to wait for you both.”
