Capítulo 1768: Chapter 227: Moonlight Organization

“What’s inside the White Palace?” asked Princess Fire Lotus.

“I already told you, I don’t know,” Lin Yifan replied.

“Then how did you manage to escape? It’s said that no one has ever escaped from that White Palace!”

“I have my own ways, don’t ask too many questions,” Lin Yifan answered.

“Are you hiding something from me?” Princess Fire Lotus inquired.

“Come on, are we that close? Who doesn’t have secrets? Are you telling me you’ve revealed everything?” Lin Yifan asked with some annoyance, wondering where she got the nerve to say that.

“You’ve seen my whole body, what do you think?”

“That’s different, besides you were clothed, so I didn’t actually see anything,” Lin Yifan countered.

“Pervert, do you want me to strip completely for you to see?”

“That’s not what I meant, please don’t misunderstand,” Lin Yifan replied.

Princess Fire Lotus grew more agitated, feeling she had suffered a loss. But she couldn’t argue back because what he said was true.

She didn’t want to continue on this topic, so she changed it: “Do you have more than seven Constellation Beads now?”

“No comment!” Lin Yifan flatly refused.

“So stingy, can’t you reveal a bit of information?”

“Telling anyone about it would only bring disaster upon me, I’m not doing it.”

“It seems you have more than seven Constellation Beads on you.”

“Guess all you want, but I don’t have that many Constellation Beads,” Lin Yifan said, unconcerned.

“Hmph, keep pretending. From what I understand, you have more than five already,” Princess Fire Lotus snorted, not believing Lin Yifan.

“Focus on improving your own strength. Coveting others’ treasures is pointless,” Lin Yifan responded.

“Didn’t you obtain those treasures by taking them from others? Who are you to criticize me?”

“That’s not true. I took unclaimed objects. You all lacked the power to claim them, how is that my fault?”

“I’ve obtained the Wall Water Pearl and the Fighting Wood Pearl; how could they be unclaimed?”

“Just because you have them doesn’t mean you own them. How will you explain to that brat Qingyan and the Seventh Prince of Jin Country? What about those from whom you’ve taken things?” Lin Yifan demanded.

“You…”

“Let’s drop it. Reality is reality; this world is survival of the fittest. Isn’t that why you’re attacking Tianze Country, because you covet its wealth? If I weren’t a match for you, you’d have turned against me already.”

Princess Fire Lotus had no rebuttal because Lin Yifan spoke the truth. She realized her self-pity stemmed from envy over things she couldn’t obtain.

The two fell into brief silence. Suddenly, a terrified cry for help came from the forest.

“Help! Help!”

They heard a male voice but didn’t know what happened, so they looked toward the direction it came from.

Soon, they saw a severely injured man burst out from the woods, rushing straight towards them.

Lin Yifan and Princess Fire Lotus heightened their vigilance, ready to avoid an ambush.

The injured man was overjoyed to see someone, quickly running over. But after taking ten steps, he was suddenly hit by a hidden weapon and fell to the ground.

Lin Yifan and Princess Fire Lotus were startled, unaware of who made the move.

They quickly hid to avoid being discovered.

Shortly after they hid, a group of people in black appeared around the fallen man.

Noting their clothing, Lin Yifan realized the moon emblem on their backs matched those described by the Seven-Colored Immortal Emperor. These were Cultivators from the Moonlight Organization.

Without his consent, the Moonlight Organization had kidnapped his girlfriend, intending to use her in something major; hence his deep-seated grudge against them. He immediately charged out, determined to cut them down.

Princess Fire Lotus grabbed him, whispering, “What are you doing?”

Among the black-clad group were High Immortal Second Realm cultivators. Was Lin Yifan rushing out to his death?

“Leave me alone!”

Lin Yifan shook off Princess Fire Lotus’s hand, taking flight from the jungle, unsheathing his sword without a word.

The black-clad group, seeing an outsider interfere, mistook him for an ally of the injured, attacking together.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A fierce battle erupted, neither side willing to let the other go.

Princess Fire Lotus stayed hidden, hoping to benefit from their conflict.

If Lin Yifan and the black-clad men were to both suffer, she could take all his Constellation Beads—a recompense of sorts for him seeing her body.

Yet, since Lin Yifan dared to emerge, he had confidence in victory, so her daydream was destined to be just that.

Lin Yifan’s mastery of the Shadow-light Sword Technique elevated his attack speed to a new level.

This led to the black-clad group’s defeat; unable to match his speed, they couldn’t defend, proving the adage that there’s no defense against speed.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

One by one, the black-clad figures fell, never to rise again.

Lin Yifan weaved through them, killing Moonlight Organization aggressors.

Seeing Lin Yifan’s impressive movement technique, the black-clad group quickly set up an array to try and kill him.

But Lin Yifan had the Shadow Clone Technique, and with such swift attacks, they couldn’t possibly contain him. Their array was barely set before they were teetering on the brink.

The enemies too mighty, they couldn’t win, so they resorted to smoke bombs, fleeing for their lives.

Lin Yifan dashed into the smoke, hoping to catch the villains. But they were gone, and he struck empty air.

To have fled so quickly, the Moonlight Cultivators likely had an escape technique, maybe even the Qimen Nine Escapes, meaning he probably couldn’t catch them.

Surveying the quiet surroundings, he couldn’t help but curse under his breath: “Damn it!”

Several heavily injured but not dead Moonlight Cultivators lay on the ground, so he approached, grabbing one’s collar in rage, demanding, “Where’s An Qi? Where did you take her? Tell me now!!!”

“An… An Qi, who is that?” the grievously injured Cultivator asked curiously.

“The girl you captured from another realm,” Lin Yifan answered.

“I… I don’t know… I don’t know,” the heavily injured Moonlight Cultivator answered with all his might.

“Damn it!”

Feeling his questions were in vain, Lin Yifan thrust his sword into the still-alive Moonlight Cultivators, finishing them off.
