We will meet again

The moment her blood came in contact with the surface, the ring shows no reaction at first, and when the kids were fearing what could have gone wrong, Lin Yue's body suddenly started releasing a bright red color, and then purple.

Both the colors met up in midair and then joined together, then to the three kids' surprise, especially Lin Yue, she felt Spiritual Qi rushing towards her body through the magenta glow, and Lin Yue closed her eyes slightly, she was actually about to broke through to Level four.

She didn't feel happy as she should have felt, nor sad but her heart was one kind of blank.

After she broke through to level four, Lin Yue snapped open her eyes, her mother was already done with the battle, and even though the woman was looking at her gently, Lin Yue knew that she was probably injured.

She bit on her lips gently as the three of them congratulated her.

After this, Xie Mingzhu asked them to start moving forward, as a matter of fact, she felt that the person his majesty was truly after was Lin Yue and Xuanyuan Sword.

Truthfully to her sword, they has yet to reach the middle part of the forest when there was another group of five soldiers.

Xie Mingzhu ignored the tiredness she felt, the battle earlier had made her weak, after all, not only was she battling a single person at a higher level than her, but many.

Sighing, the woman fought the five men and barely escape with her sleeve torn, and her arm bleeding.

However, they just arrived at the center and had started encountering Spiritual Beasts, level three and above, and this was left for the kids as the number of soldiers after them was increasing.

Thankfully, the kids can coordinate very well between themselves as they were all of the thunder element.

Lin Hu was surprised when he saw the way Lin Yue battled, and also after hearing that she won the main battle.

In fact, how he got to the forest because two days ago, he decided to start hunting for small herbs at the rear of Purple Lake forest to sell for money, and when he was done and nearly reached the City gate, he suddenly felt something in the air and it was the scene of Mrs. Xie Mingzhu flying away with her a girl with silver hair, and he also managed to saw Lin Yu.

He was shocked at this view so he ran after them and thankfully, he met them standing after running for a while.

And to his shock and surprise, his sworn brother was injured. At first, he didn't understand what was going on until he was secretly signaled by Lin Yu, who explained to him what had happened, and what happened brought him a moment of sadness, his mother, the family head, and many other opponents that he thought that after the battle, he would learn a lesson or two from them.

The battle continues and Xie Mingzhu frowned as she stare at the corpses of the four recent grandmasters she just fought with.

"Mother, what's wrong?." Lin Yue crouched beside her.

Xie Mingzhu inhales, turning over the corpse of the soldiers and soon, she found what she was looking for, a green jade pendant on one of them, radiating faint mist.

Shocked, she brought it to her nose and sniffed, then she smelled her scent, and then her daughter's.

"This damn emperor, I swore that one day, he will be killed by me." Hatred seeped out of her eyes and closing them to calm down herself, she turned to her daughter and give her a reassuring smile before turning to the boys.

"Lin Yu, Lin Hu, as you know, Emperor Wu was after Xuanyuan sword and he wouldn't stop at anything to get whatever he wanted, so this treacherous man happened to get his hand on Yue'er and my scent, and that's how the soldiers can trace us here, and as you know, their numbers are increasing, and soon, I would finally be down if I were to battle even a single one person, so..." She looked at their face and then take out a map from her storage ring.

"This is the map to Red Moon Empire, you guys can go there after the soldiers come over, they surely wouldn't do anything to you,"

"Aunty Xie... But what about you, how about you also come to Red Moon Empire with us?." Lin Hu asked carefully.

A bitter smile graced Lin Yue's lips as she shook her head.

"Kids, I told you, Emperor Wu would stop at nothing just to get his hand on Xuanyuam, even if he had to sell his soul to the devil. Birds died for the sake of food and man died for money, just like how Emperor Wu would die for treasure, so boys, you will live a good life as long as you were able to migrate safely to Red Moon Empire, and you can also attend their academy there."

It was silent for a moment before Lin Yu asked. "Then Aunty Xie, where would you and Yue'er be, you can't come to the Red Moon Empire so where are you going to stay?"

"Don't worry about that, I will just try to find a solution to the spell casts on us, no matter how much we tried to cover our smell, it will always reflect on the jade at the imperial palace. If... you want to meet again, then maybe one day, after we were able to undo the spell, you and Lin Yue can meet at Red Moon Empire."

The boys were silent and after a while, they nodded sadly.

"Boys, cheer up, we will meet again, at Red Moon Empire, don't be weak when I got there, okay?" Lin Yue smiles gently at them.

The boys nodded again, hugging each other for the last time.

After that, Xie Mingzhu handed them a heavy pouch.

"The Red Moon Empire didn't have a particular accent, but they sometimes recognize us, the people from Blue Moon Empire so be careful, buy yourself some clothes, and cultivate well to protect yourself."

"Also, take this safety talisman, it will protect you against levels below the lord three times."

She handed them two talismans.

The boys bowed gratefully as they hold the expensive talisman and soon, they heard the footsteps of the soldiers. "Aunty, the river is long and the sky is wide, hope we will meet again."

Xie Mingzhu smiled gently at them.

"Go."

The boys wave one last time and started making their way in the other direction.
