You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 596: Teleportation 109_2

How could Baili Fengzhi have a Big Movement Order?

Lin Yue knew that even if he took out the Big Movement Order now, it would be meaningless.

The Big Movement Order held by Baili Fengzhi was clearly much more powerful than the one he had obtained. Taking it out now would hardly change the transformations of the void.

But what shocked him the most wasn’t where Baili Fengzhi got the Big Movement Order from, but...

At this moment, Lin Yue’s heart began to slowly sink, plunging into a cold abyss.

"Boom—"

Amidst the invisible rumbling, the void around Lin Yue and Baili Fengzhi twisted and changed rapidly, forming a void that instantly sucked in the two of them and then disappeared without a trace.

In an instant, the world before their eyes returned to normal, and the two had already appeared above an island in the sea.

The setting sun shone on the rolling sea, as if setting the ocean ablaze with fiery red, rippling light.

"Hahaha..."

Along with a burst of familiar laughter, Duanmu Yan, clad in a black robe, descended along with a streak of light.

At the same time, Duanmu Yan threw out a green tree trunk, which landed on the soil of the island below, instantly taking root.

Another World Tree Branch?

Endless vitality of green wood spread out, and this World Tree Branch, like the last time, grew wildly once more, turning into a giant tree that blocked out the sky in the blink of an eye, with large branches and leaves drooping down.

Countless emerald-like leaves emitted a strange hazy light, forming a barrier between heaven and earth, which instantly isolated the sky from the land.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, it had already become a small world independent of Great Yong!

At the same time, a layer of dreamy, thin mist spread out, completely filling the entire small world.

Atop the massive, mist-covered tree, Lin Yue stood on one of the main branches, dozens of feet thick, turning his head slowly with a somber expression, and looked toward Baili Fengzhi.

He tried to release his Divine Thought, but as soon as it left his body, it dissipated upon contacting the thin mist around him, rendering him unable to probe anything.

Lin Yue immediately understood.

It looks like... this mist is intended for the Second Princess?

"Your Highness, we meet again."

The fog churned as Duanmu Yan and the streak of light ascended, landing nearby.

After the streak of light dissipated, a young woman in a Daoist robe appeared. She was tall and slender, exceptionally beautiful, and bore a resemblance to Baili Fengzhi with an ethereal aura.

But Lin Yue didn’t glance at the two, his eyes firmly on Baili Fengzhi, and he slowly began to speak, "On regular days, I’ve speculated about who in the residence might betray me, Yinmo, Wanqiu, Xiaoyu’er, Master Jun... but I never guessed it would be you?"

He took a deep breath and said somberly, "You’ve risked your life for me... give me an explanation."

They had been by each other’s side for over a decade, and their relationship was no longer what it had been at the start; he understood her better than anyone else.

And she had already signed a Life and Death Blood Contract!

Therefore, he didn’t believe Baili Fengzhi would truly betray him.

"Your Highness."

Baili Fengzhi suddenly knelt down, biting her lip, and said with her head lowered, "Indeed, I acted on my own initiative. Whether Your Highness wishes to punish me or activate the Blood Covenant, you can do as you please."

"Household Blood Contract?"

The Daoist-robed woman moved, appearing beside Baili Fengzhi, furrowing her brows as she looked at Lin Yue with a displeased tone, "So you’re the audacious fake Prince? Lin Yue, right?"

Lin Yue slowly turned his head and glanced at her, retorting, "And you’re the Elder of Tantian Sect who’d rather abandon her daughter to follow the Demon Clan? Goddess Yan Yue, right?"

Goddess Yan Yue’s face grew cold as she let out a cold huff, "You seem to know quite a bit."

In a frosty voice she said, "It seems that you knew my daughter was a Half-demon all along. You’ve been using this secret to threaten her into following you, haven’t you?"

"Mother!" Baili Fengzhi couldn’t help but look at Goddess Yan Yue.

"Threat?"

Lin Yue nodded slightly and said, "You’re right, it’s true."

"Very well." Yan Yue said coldly as she looked at Lin Yue, "You did give my daughter benefits and you’ve been kind to her, but she has also been ordered around by you, a false prince, for more than ten years. Now... it’s time to dissolve the Household Blood Contract, isn’t it?"

Baili Fengzhi’s face changed drastically, and she couldn’t help saying, "Mother, I’ve already explained my relationship with His Highness to you last time, how can you..."

"I understand your thoughts and I know you have feelings for him."

Yan Yue interrupted her, slowly shaking her head, "But I have lived for more than a thousand years, and I see people more clearly than you do."

She glanced coldly at Lin Yue and said, "Back then, he was only interested in your potential, and he needed help, which is why he drew you in like that. Threats combined with those benefits were nothing more than coercion and bribery. You’ve been with him day and night, and this man is full of cunning schemes. Given your introverted nature, it’s normal for you to develop feelings for him."

Baili Fengzhi was taken aback and murmured, "Mother, you’re mistaken, His Highness isn’t like that. I know him; even if he was like that at the beginning, it was only..."

"Stop making excuses for him."

Yan Yue said indifferently, "In the more than a thousand years I’ve lived, I have seen countless people and encountered numerous so-called sincere hearts, but apart from your father, no one has withstood the test. So-called sincerity... is nothing more than a whim, a balance of interests, or self-moved sentiment."

Seeing that Baili Fengzhi still wasn’t listening, she said coldly, "I only ask you one thing, if he truly loved you, why do you still have the Life and Death Blood Contract he placed on you?"

Baili Fengzhi was startled.

Then she couldn’t help saying, "Mother, I’ve never felt that there’s anything wrong with the Life and Death Blood Contract, His Highness just..."

"Just what?"

Yan Yue sneered, "Just a precaution? Don’t you know that once a Life and Death Blood Contract is made, under the witness of the Eye of Heaven, if he dies, you would also die within a short time? As a prince, he is in constant danger, and his life is uncertain. He seems to love you, but in reality? He hasn’t considered how his death would implicate you, is this what you call love?"

Baili Fengzhi opened her mouth, unsure of how to argue, and could only murmur, "Mother, I am willing to..."

"You’ve been blinded by him."

Yan Yue took a deep breath, then spoke gently, "Child, I don’t mind whether he’s a false prince or even if he were a beggar, but in my view, all his actions are merely to train a more loyal and capable subordinate."

She shook her head slightly, "I don’t intend to do anything, I just want you to be clear. Kindness is kindness, and you should repay it as such, but why give your heart and soul to someone like him? Don’t deceive yourself any longer."

Baili Fengzhi fell silent and slowly turned to look at Lin Yue.

At this moment, she had come to understand something.

"That makes quite a lot of sense."

Lin Yue laughed and said to Yan Yue, "I was going to address you as mother-in-law, but now it seems unnecessary, after all... a man full of cunning schemes who coerced and bribed your daughter like me is certainly not worthy of your esteem."

He said no more and immediately waved his sleeve, took out a Blood Covenant, probed it with his Divine Thought, then produced a flame in his hand and burned it to ash.

"The Blood Covenant is now dissolved." Lin Yue looked at Baili Fengzhi, "You are free from now on."

Baili Fengzhi furrowed her brows.

"Duanmu Yan."

Lin Yue turned to Duanmu Yan and asked, "Can you tell me if Baili Fengzhi helped you of her own free will or was she manipulated?"

"Why don’t you take a guess?" Duanmu Yan smiled.

Of course, he knew how Baili Fengzhi had come to this point, but this matter involved a great secret, and he naturally wouldn’t reveal it.

Lin Yue narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems, then, that the Demon Clan doesn’t care whether I’m a false prince or not?"

Duanmu Yan laughed and said, "The Prince Bloodline and Xia Lie’s soul have both been thoroughly refined by Your Highness. It is Your Highness we care about, of course. I’ve heard that Tantian Sect has likely obtained the Blood Jade, and with the power of All Beings and the Tantian Sect at Your Highness’s disposal, it appears you have used the Blood Jade to refine Xia Lie’s bloodline and soul, have you not?"

"Did you find Xia Lie’s mother? Or his aunt?" Lin Yue asked.

"Of course, we found both."

Duanmu Yan smiled and said, "These two Human Cultivators are not highly regarded in our clan, and the news about Your Highness came out late, not until a few days ago did we confirm Your Highness is a false prince."

Lin Yue spoke lightly, "Indeed, I am not the reincarnation of Xiahou Shou, I thought you would dispose of me directly, but it seems you need something different from what I expected."

"You’ll understand soon enough." Duanmu Yan smiled.
