With a soft, lingering sigh, she continued speeding toward Capital City under cover of night.
So hazy, so graceful.
The remaining lanterns were the same.
Upon opening it, she happened to see the messages Lian Yue had sent her and was about to reply. The next moment, she seemed to remember something.
The quiet murmur drifted in the wind, then soon dissipated.
The shadow smiled faintly, as though gazing fondly at her younger sister. Then she extended a finger toward Mo Ke's forehead, only to abruptly withdraw it just before touching her, as though she had remembered something.
It actually exuded an aura of mystery upon mystery.
They became a river of stars, spreading across the space ahead.
"Second Senior Sister, I returned to the Blood Rain Cult to find Master as you instructed. Through my interactions with him, I've gradually come to the conclusion that Master may truly have repented and mended his ways."
The Female Emperor had personally arranged this courtyard. It had once served as her sleeping quarters, and she often stayed there during her incognito visits.
Lian Yue glanced ahead and realized she was not very far from Capital City now.
Within Star-Seizing Temple, maple leaves blazed like fire.
Those who had seen through the mortal world found it hardest to blend into it, and saw most clearly.
She could feel her life gradually approaching its withering, just like Peach Blossom.
They were all Soul Lamps.
Although Mo Ke ranked first on the Heavenly Ranking, she had no spiritual qi within her, after all, and possessed only mortal flesh.
After all, this lantern was a Soul Lamp, and those who possessed Soul Lamps were invariably vengeful ghosts.
That brief contact just now could have made her gravely ill, or even killed her on the spot.
