Elsewhere, no one could see that a Purple Mountain stood here. Its body was like glass, crystalline and translucent.
"Progenitor, these are the people I told you about: Ao Shi, Wu Yao, and Qian Yue. They're all direct disciples of Moon Emperor." Haoyue Celestial Venerable spoke toward the mountain.
"Moon Emperor's disciples..." A timeworn voice came from within the Purple Mountain, as if carried from the distant past.
"Greetings, Progenitor." Hua Yunfei and the other two cupped their fists.
All three were a little nervous. They bent at the waist and lowered their heads.
"Do you know what Moon Emperor is to me?" Haoyue Progenitor asked. His voice was deep and resonant, and did not seem to come from within the Purple Mountain at all. It sounded more like it was coming from right beside them.
It was as if Haoyue Progenitor had already appeared at their side, yet their cultivation was too low to see him.
"This disciple does not know," Hua Yunfei replied.
"Your master is my third direct disciple. Haotian, standing beside you, is her senior brother—your martial uncle—and my second disciple," Haoyue Progenitor said.
Hua Yunfei and the other two were astonished. Moon Emperor had never mentioned this to them. So her position had been this lofty?
Then why had she stayed for so long on the Wangyue Continent?
And if that was the case, then Bai Feiyang, whom they had killed, had been the junior fellow disciple of both Emperor Zuntian and Moon Emperor?
"Few people know about this, and your master doesn't want it brought up." Emperor Zuntian chuckled.
"She doesn't want it brought up? It's a good thing, so why not? We've never heard our master mention it either. We only know that she once came to Haoyue Palace as a chosen successor."
