The old woman didn't have a distinctive feature. If it wasn't for the moonlight around her, anyone who saw her would think she was an ordinary old woman.
The expressions of Murong Mengyi, Hong Hualian, and Yu Wuying changed slightly when they saw this person. They obviously recognized her identity.
The old woman stopped tens of meters away from the three and sighed softly as she looked at the surrounding traces of battle.
"We greet Senior Priestess of the Moon." Murong Mengyi and the other two came forward and said respectfully.
The old woman was the Divine Moon Clan's priestess, Yue Hua. She was a respected figure across the Divine Realm and was the main reason no one dared to attack the Moon God Realm after the departure of Hongyue.
Yue Hua's profound strength might not be comparable to a top God Emperor, but her power lies in divination. In the past, she had predicted many invasions of foreign forces and gave everyone sufficient time to prepare. It could be said the Divine Realm could still exist today because of her contribution.
She looked at the three and said apologetically. "Sorry. I was late."
"This is our duty." Murong Mengyi said. "I didn't expect Senior to come here personally."
Yue Hua glanced at the Heavenhold Realm that was covered with thick layers of barrier and said. "That little girl is over there."
Murong Mengyi and the other two were surprised. "Taotao is here? Why did she come here?"
"I did a divination to find her husband. As you see, my lifespan is about to reach the end of the rope. I need to prepare for the next generation." Yue Hua said with a smile as if it was nothing special.
Murong Mengyi and Hong Hualian glanced at each other and seemed to have the same idea… Yue Chuntao's future husband was Yun Lintian? It was too coincidental, right?
"Alas… Fate is surely mysterious." Yue Hua sighed softly. "I hope she doesn't attach her life to him as Hongyue did to that man."
Murong Mengyi and the other two could say anything in this regard. They were no different from Yue Hongyue. It was just that they were lucky enough to survive.
"Anyway, she is a part of the reason I came here." Yue Hua said calmly. "Fortunately, his successor is safe and sound. Otherwise, our Divine Realm will certainly cease to exist in a few years."
The expressions of Murong Mengyi and the other two changed drastically upon hearing this.
"Senior means…?" Hong Hualian didn't dare to speak her thoughts out loud.
"A greater calamity is coming. This time, it's several times worse than the previous one… All I see is endless darkness. Not a single shred of light can be found." Yue Hua's cloudy eyes filled with worries as she spoke this.
Murong Mengyi and the other two were shocked.
Yue Hua said further. "As much as I hate him, I have to admit that I'm inferior in terms of vision. He had planned everything from the beginning."
She turned to look at the three and continued. "His successor is a seed of hope he left behind. I will use my old bones to protect him... Even if I have to kill again."
Her voice was plain, but Murong Mengyi and the others could feel a chill running down their spines. No one knew Yue Hua's strength better than they did. It was true that Yue Hua was expertized in divination, but it could be used in a battle. In the past, she had singlehandedly killed five foreign God Emperors on the same level as Ren Yuan.
Unfortunately, her power required her lifespan. That was why she couldn't continue to fight to the end of the previous battle.
Yue Hua looked at Murong Mengyi and asked. "Have you met him before? How's his personality?"
"I have never interacted with him directly myself, but my granddaughter is his senior sister. From her words, Yun Lintian is an extremely cautious person and will run if he can't fight the enemy. At the same time, he's overprotective when it comes to the people around him. He's willing to work hard instead of letting them take a risk." Murong Mengyi replied.
"It can be said Yun Lintian is an opposite pole of him."
A rare frown appeared on Yu Wuying's face when she heard this. She suddenly felt Yun Lintian was unworthy of carrying the Beyond Heaven King's inheritance.
The Beyond Heaven King, in her eyes, was a man of dignity. He would never run away from his opponent, even if he couldn't beat them. At the same time, he would never overprotect his people. After all, the world was cruel. They had to learn to protect themselves. No one would be there for them all the time.
Yue Hua let out faint laughter after listening to Murong Mengyi. "Maybe he knows a person like him won't last long while carrying his power on his shoulders. Alas, I had told him many times that his overly unyielding side would be his downfall."
"Well, the little guy he found seems to be more flexible. This is a good thing."
Hong Hualian curled her lips and said. "He's the Beyond Heaven King, after all. Without this unyielding trait, he would never go beyond heaven."
"Well, you're right." Yue Hua smiled.
Yu Wuying didn't want to continue on this topic. She suddenly asked. "Please enlighten us, Senior. What should we do next? Those people will never give up on him."
Yue Hua took a deep look at Yu Wuying and asked. "Disappointed?"
Yu Wuying remained silent for a moment and answered truthfully. "Since he chose him to be his successor, this person must have something. Although I'm disappointed, his personality doesn't affect my determination to protect him."
Hearing this, Yue Hua sighed in lament. "I've unraveled countless mysteries in my entire life, but this one will be something I will never understand… How could all of you fall for him?"
Murong Mengyi, Hong Hualian, and Yu Wuying subconsciously looked at each other. They themselves had no idea as well. Perhaps they were attracted by Yun Tian's strength?
It was like Yue Hua said. They would never understand it.
Yue Hua shook her head slightly and said. "All of you can go back. I'll stay here. That Little Boy Yue Qi told me they are currently training inside the Heavenhold Secret Land and will come out a year later."
