Chapter 697: Chapter 697 Protector
South Arica, Mili Forest, Elf Temple.
Just after handling so affairs of the elf clan, Mona felt a slight exhaustion. Suddenly, the figure of Ye Shikai, a human youth, appeared in her mind. They had t two thousand years ago, yet why did he claim not to know her?
“Could it be that he has so unspeakable secrets?” Mona muttered, her heart filled with confusion and questions about that woman’s relationship with him, which seed intimately close. Thinking about this, Mona felt sowhat bitter.
“Am I, the Elf Queen, not comparable to a human woman?”
“Report!” At this mont, a Hall Guard rushed in urgently and knelt before Mona.
“What happened that you are so flustered?”
“Your Majesty, there’s a disturbance in the training room, it seems like there is fighting,” the Hall Guard quickly said.
“What, take there quickly.”
………………
Bang, bang, bang, in the room where Ye Shikai was, two people were fiercely clashing with blades and swords, neither yielding. anwhile, Ye Shikai was practicing tirelessly, his restraints beginning to loosen, nearly ready to break through.
“Focus, boy, or all will be lost. What are you worried about? Liruo is no match for the Moon God,” the Soul of the Blade sharply rebuked. Ji Qian was fighting in the front, but Ye Shikai was always anxious, and tranquility is crucial for training. Yet, at this mont, Ye Shikai’s mind was in chaos.
“I know,” Ye Shikai gritted his teeth, channeling his ridians, turning his body into a large vessel, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of tree breath.
“Ah!” A sharp pain surged from deep within his mind, and Ye Shikai almost passed out in agony.
“Who exactly are you?” At the sa ti, Liruo, with fierce eyes, stared at the figure in black, panting heavily. In the ranks of Elf warriors, there were few who could fight with Liruo for so long, and it seed like the opponent was not even using full strength.
“It’s .” The person in black slowly took off the veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face, indeed, it was the Moon God Ji Qian.
“It’s you again, human, really courting death,” Liruo said, her face showing a renewed intent to kill upon seeing Ji Qian.
“If you elves keep being ruthless, then I shall return the favor in kind,” Ji Qian said, taking out a gem-incrusted magic wand with her right hand.
“Moon God Spell — Starfall.” Several silver beams shot out from the gem, and Liruo felt a powerful energy right in front of her. She moved to the side, narrowly avoiding the beams of silver light, quickly leaping aside. She hadn’t expected this attack to be so powerful; she felt that even a single hit by any beam would result in severe injury.
“Bang.” The silver light struck the door behind Liruo, blasting an entire wall apart.
“What happened upstairs?”
“It seems there are elves fighting.”
The common elves below were abuzz with discussion. Several Hall Guards had fallen around the house, knocked out by Ji Qian; now, the elves below assud that an outsider had invaded, trying to kill the talented practitioner.
“Her Majesty the Queen has arrived.” Soone said this, and all the elves turned their heads towards the light source. Mona, dressed in light gauze, quickly walked over. The common elves knelt on one knee upon seeing Mona arrive, bowing their heads and looking at the ground.
“What has happened here?” Mona walked under the Tree of Life, asking urgently the Soldier guarding the area.
“Your Majesty, Captain Liruo took over the shift here by your orders, then it seems soone broke in,” the Soldier hurriedly reported.
“What, I never issued such an order,” Mona exclaid, a bad premonition erging in her mind, fearing that Ye Shikai might be in danger.
“Great Elder of the Primordial Soul, you have arrived.” At this ti, several elven elders also rushed over, attracted by the commotion, especially during the quiet night.
“Your Majesty, there has been a fierce battle here,” the Primordial Soul Great Elder said calmly. The room where Ye Shikai was located had a wall blown away, and dust was drifting out. Suddenly, two figures flew out of the room.
“Protect Her Majesty.” Everyone was startled, the Soldier Guards isolating the commoners behind and the Hall Guards surrounding Mona to ensure her safety.
“Liruo,” Mona murmured, recognizing one of the figures as Liruo. As for the other figure, it was none other than the human woman who had just released Ji Qian today.
“Liruo, what is all this about?” Mona urgently asked, suspecting she already guessed what had happened. From the Soldier’s words, Mona learned Liruo had co leading a team supposedly under her “orders”, but she had never issued such orders. Liruo had hatred for humans as her parents were killed by humans, and Ye Shikai, being incapable of defending himself while training, might have been targeted by Liruo seizing this chance to kill him.
“You elves are indifferent and dare to claim nobility, it’s simply insulting,” Ji Qian burst out angrily. Upon seeing Liruo enter Ye Shikai’s room, Ji Qian guessed she ant harm to Ye Shikai, thus she knocked out the Hall Guards, rushed in, and engaged in a fierce battle with Liruo, blaming the Elven Queen for all of this.
“Both of you humans, must die,” Liruo, picking up a dagger, charged at Ji Qian.
“Moon God Spell—Falling Stars,” Ji Qian waved her Magic Wand, several streaks of silver light descended from the sky. The elves exclaid in surprise; they never expected soone to utilize the energy of moonlight—sunlight was their Source of Life, while they could not absorb energy from the moonlight. The silver light fiercely rushed toward Liruo who could only watch helplessly as it approached.
“Bang.” Suddenly, a green light barrier appeared in front of Liruo, blocking all the silver light, and the intense explosion echoed through the Mili Forest night.
“Your Majesty!” Liruo turned her head to one side, and sure enough, Mona had used her Mana to form a barrier protecting Liruo.
“Liruo, step back.” Mona tapped her toes and leapt into the air, then landed steadily in front of Ji Qian.
“Again, you? Didn’t I set you free, why have you returned?” Mona glared solemnly, Ji Qian also showing a murderous intent in her gaze.
“You, a dignified queen, resorting to assassination, isn’t that too embarrassing?” Ji Qian spoke coldly, “It was you who sent soone to assassinate Ye Shikai.”
“This matter has nothing to do with Her Majesty, it was my idea alone.” At this mont, Liruo burst out from the side, shouting loudly.
