Chapter 0747 Shadow Slave

Chapter 0747 Shadowbound

Qin Yun was horrified by what he saw.

It seemed as though the entire Dark Moon Wasteland was on the verge of collapse.

Just as he crawled out, he saw Yue You, badly wounded, rushing toward him.

"You're still alive!" Yue You exclaimed upon seeing Qin Yun. She quickly grabbed him and flew in a certain direction.

"What’s going on?!" Qin Yun asked urgently. "What about Sister Yang? Is she alright?"

"They got out! Don’t worry, I’ll get you out too!" Yue You’s voice was grave. "I don’t know what’s going on, but the Dark Moon Wasteland is under attack by a devastating power! Even that bastard Xie Ying’s been killed!"

"The attacking force hunts the strongest individuals!"

Qin Yun then noticed that as Yue You flew, she continuously weaved through the falling meteors.

Those meteors seemed to sense her presence, relentlessly aiming for her.

"Xie Ying is dead?" Qin Yun was stunned. That guy was a powerhouse.

"I promised Yue Ji I’d get you out, otherwise she and Yue Qin wouldn’t leave either!" Yue You hissed coldly. "You’re even worse in this life than your past one! I don’t know what crap you fed them, but they don’t even hate you anymore!"

"Yue You, where are we going now?" Qin Yun asked.

"A secret exit. I’ll take you out from there!" Yue You replied.

"Was that secret exit something I told you about in my past life?" Qin Yun asked again.

Yue You paused briefly before answering, "Yes! It was you who told me! Your past self came here once and informed me that the exit would be usable when the time came!"

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Qin Yun kept it brief. "Yue You, I haven’t awakened my past memories yet. But I know my past self never wanted to hurt you! I had you imprisoned here so you could obtain the Dark Moon and cultivate the Dark Moon Saint Body… but you blew your chance!"

"Cut the crap! Back then, you stole the treasures of those major sects and framed me, leading to them hounding me relentlessly!" Yue You seethed. "I won’t believe your lies now!"

Qin Yun didn’t bother explaining further, hoping the truth would come to light eventually.

Yue You moved swiftly, carrying Qin Yun to the edge of a milky lake shimmering faintly.

The meteors in the sky had stopped falling.

The entire Dark Moon Wasteland had suddenly grown quiet.

Qin Yun glanced around the lake and noticed numerous stones laid out in a ritual array.

Yue You was now powering up the array.

"Once the array is activated, I’ll take you out to the Spirit Wasteland! After that, I’ll be drawn into the Immortal Wasteland!" Yue You said coldly. "You bastard, once you regain your memories, come find me for a fight to the death!"

Ignoring her, Qin Yun let out the Pig Heavenly King.

"Brother Pig!" Qin Yun patted the sleeping Pig Heavenly King. "Quick, talk some sense into this woman!"

Yue You frowned at the sight of the Pig Heavenly King. "So this is the Beast Heavenly King who escaped from Xie Ying?"

The Heavenly Pig King was jolted awake by Yue You's voice, trembling with fear: "Celestial King Yue You... vengeance belongs to its rightful target, don't come after me!"

"Dumb pig, what are you talking about!" Qin Yun was annoyed and smacked the Heavenly Pig King's head. "Quickly tell Yue You the purpose of why my past self lured you in!"

The Heavenly Pig King, now aware of the situation, hurriedly said, "Celestial King Yue You, my brother Yun deliberately tricked you into coming here so you could obtain the Dark Moon and cultivate the Dark Moon Sacred Physique! He knew you wouldn’t cooperate willingly, so he resorted to extreme measures!"

"I don’t believe it!" Yue You snapped angrily.

At that moment, the formation activated, and the lake water started boiling, churning violently at its center.

The Heavenly Pig King laughed. "Great, I can finally leave the Dark Moon Desolate Realm!"

With that, he leaped into the lake.

Qin Yun looked at Yue You, her furious expression, and said, "Believe it or not, this life isn’t tied to my past!"

"Hmph, I never want to see your face again!" Yue You said, preparing to jump into the lake.

But suddenly, a shadowy figure materialized!

The shadow possessed immense power and grabbed Yue You!

"What is this?" Qin Yun stared at the shadow in shock.

The shadow was pitch-black, oozing a sinister demonic energy.

"I am the Shadow Slave of the Demon Immortal Emperor!" the shadow sneered. "I was sent here to kill those marked by the curse of the Demon Immortal Emperor, haha..."

Qin Yun suddenly remembered Yao Fang.

Yao Fang had used her power to help him escape the prison, which had drawn the Demon Immortal Emperor’s attention!

In other words, the power that shattered the Dark Moon Desolate Realm was unleashed by the Demon Immortal Emperor!

"Demon Immortal Emperor? I was never cursed by him!" Yue You was also terrified.

"You are the strongest here, the sole remaining target! If not you, then who?" The Shadow Slave threw a punch at Yue You.

Yue You was struck and cried out in pain!

Despite her power, she was instantly injured by this mere Shadow Slave.

"Bastard, your target is me!" Qin Yun roared, drawing the Nine Sun Divine Hammer and lunging furiously at the Shadow Slave.

"The Nine Sun Divine Hammer? One of the Yang Spirits—it’s actually in your hands!" The Shadow Slave gasped in shock and released the severely wounded Yue You.

Standing by the lake, Yue You fell into the water, realizing Qin Yun had just saved her.

Seeing Yue You fall into the lake, Qin Yun immediately dove in without hesitation.

But suddenly, an overwhelming force trapped him in place.

"Yang Spirit! Yang Spirit! I’ve found a Yang Spirit for my master, hahaha..." The Shadow Slave, seeing Qin Yun immobilized, was ecstatic.

Boom!

The Shadow Slave slammed a fist into the lake.

And just like that, the lake vanished!

Qin Yun cursed inwardly, for that was the passageway out of the Nethermoon Wasteland.

"Where’d you get that Yang Spirit, kid?" the Shadow Servant asked coldly.

Qin Yun ignored him and frantically reached out to Yao Fang.

Yao Fang had previously exhausted herself and was recovering inside the third bead of the Nine Sun Divine Soul.

She was stunned when she heard Qin Yun’s cry for help!

"Qin Yun, is there anything important in your second bead?" Yao Fang asked.

"No!" Qin Yun replied hastily.

"Good. I’ll take control of your second bead and seal that guy inside. There’s a risk—it might damage the second bead of the Nine Sun Divine Soul!" Yao Fang said.

"Screw the risks—just seal him!" Qin Yun shouted urgently.

The Shadow Servant was right on top of Qin Yun and was reaching for his Nine Sun Divine Hammer.

At that moment, the second bead of Qin Yun’s Nine Sun Divine Soul erupted with a ravenous pull.

The Shadow Servant panicked as the energy gripped him.

"What the hell—?!"

The Shadow Servant screamed as he turned into a mass of black mist and was sucked into the second bead of the Nine Sun Divine Soul.

Qin Yun crumpled to the ground, drenched in sweat.

The Nine Sun Divine Soul at his wrist convulsed wildly, causing his wrist to bleed.

"I’ve got him pinned down!" Yao Fang said.

"Thank you, Sister Yao Fang!" Qin Yun was immensely grateful. "You just saved my ass!"

"I’m saving myself too!" Yao Fang snorted. "The Demon Immortal Emperor actually sent a Shadow Servant after me—he’s really got it out for me!"

"Why is the Demon Immortal Emperor so eager to kill you?" Qin Yun found it strange.

"Because he cursed me. We’re mystically linked—I can peek into bits of his memories! He cursed me back then, thinking he could control me, but he never expected me to escape and hide inside the Nine Sun Divine Soul!"

Yao Fang suddenly laughed triumphantly. "Now, if he wants to cut the link between us, he’ll have to lift the curse!"

Qin Yun felt slightly relieved and lay on the ground, panting. "Damn it, I’m stuck in the Nethermoon Wasteland! Who knows if the Demon Immortal Emperor will come again?"

"The Shadow Servant was probably his top enforcer, and he was quite strong. The Demon Immortal Emperor doesn’t have any other good underlings—he won’t be sending backup anytime soon!"

"Perfect! That Shadow Servant’s packed with power. I can slowly absorb it, hahaha…"

Yao Fang was giddy as a kid on New Year’s, while Qin Yun was downright miserable.

Battered, stranded, and clueless, he had no idea how to escape.

"Hey, you’re still breathing!" Ling Yuner chuckled. "Yue You hooked you up, didn’t she? It’s all you need to forge the Profound Spirit Dao Crystal!"

...

Beneath the Nethermoon Mountains, lurked an underground palace!

There was a pool in this underground palace.

Jian Shitian, Bao Changshou, and the others waited patiently by the pool.

Yang Shiyue grew increasingly restless.

Suddenly, the water stirred!

Gradually, a person rose from its depths.

"Yue You! Where’s Qin Yun?" Yang Shiyue quickly pulled Yue You out of the pool, only to see that she was grievously wounded. She froze in shock. "Who hurt you so badly?"

"It was the Shadow Servant..." The very air around Yue You warped. Her voice was filled with guilt as she said, "I’m sorry... I couldn’t save Qin Yun. He... he’s still inside!"

Yang Shiyue stood stunned, watching as Yue You gradually disappeared, sucked into the Immortal Wasteland!

Xiao Xuanqin hurried over and whispered, "Qin Yun always has a scheme—he’ll be fine!"

Yang Shiyue’s face fell, her fists clenched tightly. She didn’t know who to blame, only feeling crushing guilt.

"Miss Yang, let’s return first! The Supreme Elder of our Immortal Soldier City will surely be deeply concerned about this matter. She might be able to offer some advice!" Bao Changshou said.

Yang Shiyue regained her composure and nodded, then quickly led the group out of the underground palace.

With Jian Shitian, Bao Changshou, and the Cloud Demon Matriarch protecting her, none but an Immortal could harm Yang Shiyue.

Qin Yun, still trapped in the Desolate Moon Domain, was sunk in despair, unsure of how long he would remain imprisoned.
