At this very moment.
Zhao Wuji no longer knew whether he should regret it or be happy.
Regret? Perhaps a little.
Happy? Yet he could not seem to feel happy at all.
Mysterious Moon Kingdom's founding ancestor, Zhao Fangqun, had not died and had even become an immortal. This should have been an incomparably exciting, astonishingly joyful event for him.
After all, the existence of an immortal would be enough to help the Mysterious Moon Kingdom sweep across the world with ease and safeguard its flourishing prosperity for generations to come.

Whether the Mysterious Moon Kingdom's founding ancestor had become an immortal no longer held any meaning for him.
And what about Li Yun?
Before he had left, the two had met in private once.
At that meeting, they had reached an agreement: as long as Zhao Wuji properly supported Zhao Ziyue and did not stir up any trouble, Li Yun would protect the Mysterious Moon Kingdom for as long as Zhao Ziyue remained.
