How was he supposed to answer that question?
Though this was their first meeting, you're my wife's enemy, so I'm going to kill you?
Zhou Heng sighed. The gap in strength between them was far too great—before her, he did not even have the right to fight! He raised his head without answering, but his mind raced nonstop, searching for a way to escape alive from such a hopeless disadvantage.
But the rune on his forehead was gone. His most powerful weapons now were only the Black Sword and the Fire God Furnace. The Black Sword had already been seized by her, while the Fire God Furnace... that damned thing had been playing dead all along!
"My name is Red Moon, mistress of the Blood Moon, inheritor of the Void lineage! Mortal, why do you possess the sacred artifact of my lineage?" declared the woman, whose beauty was not the slightest bit inferior to Huotian's. Endless majesty swirled around her.
The Void lineage? Sacred artifact? The Black Sword?
Wait!
Zhou Heng was suddenly startled. Huotian had said that the Black Sword was her master's life-bound sacred weapon, and that it would seek a new master only after her master had fallen! Moreover, Zhou Heng had once "seen" a scene on the Immortal Continent—a mere aftershock from a strand of Sword Qi unleashed by the Black Sword's original owner had shattered an entire piece of the Immortal Continent.
That person had surely been a supreme powerhouse of the Bright World!
But how had the Black Sword become the sacred artifact of the Void lineage, as this woman called Red Moon claimed?
A good woman does not marry two men, and a fierce horse does not wear two saddles—how could that be possible?
Eh, in fact, it really was possible!
