“Senior Brother?” Yun Qingxue turned to look at Mo Changxing.
She felt that both her master and senior brother seemed to be urging her!
“Qingxue, during your three-hundred-year seclusion, many things have happened in the Xuanling Continent.
The undercurrents among the various clans have now surfaced openly.
To the west, the divine army has gathered above the demon realm, and demon soldiers are assembling.
A war between gods and demons is imminent!
Under such circumstances, the sooner you reclaim the authority of the Flower and Wood Clan, the more secure your personal safety will be!” Mo Changxing explained.
Yun Qingxue frowned. The demon realm—wasn’t that her senior brother’s home?
A war between gods and demons…
Yun Qingxue suddenly recalled the former Flower King she had met three hundred years ago when she went to the divine realm to gather herbs.
“With tensions rising among the clans, Qingxue, you must make plans early and reclaim the position of Flower King as soon as possible!” Purple Song Sage also said solemnly.
“Alright!” Yun Qingxue nodded and summoned the token of the Peony Clan.
Upon receiving the news, Mo Su rushed day and night to Luoyun Mountain.
Yun Qingxue returned to her residence from three hundred years ago and removed a jade ring from her neck.
It was given to her by Qian Dai when she first arrived in the Xuanling Continent.
During her trip to the divine realm, the former Flower King had also told her that this jade ring held the secrets of the Flower and Wood Clan, and those secrets could only be unlocked when her strength was sufficient.
Now, after over three hundred years of relentless cultivation, she was no longer the weakling she once was.
The time had come to uncover the secrets hidden within this ring she had worn for three centuries!
Holding the ring, Yun Qingxue channeled her magic into it.
As her magic flowed in, the ring gradually emitted a dazzling light, which refracted in the air, slowly forming lines of golden script.
Yun Qingxue read them one by one: “The Peony Clan, the Plum Blossom Clan, the Lotus Clan, the Chrysanthemum Clan, the Pear Snow Clan, the Ink Bamboo Clan, the Datura Clan…”
The golden script recorded the names of the Flower and Wood Clan’s subjects. At the very end, it read: “Flower King’s Royal Guard, Bound by Life and Death, Loyal for Eternity!”
This is…
A glint of realization flashed in Yun Qingxue’s eyes. If she wasn’t mistaken, this ring recorded the names of those who were utterly loyal to the Flower King.
Now that she had the power to see this, it meant she could seek out these subordinates of the Flower and Wood Clan and enlist their help to reclaim the clan’s authority!
“Master.” A knock came from outside the door—it was Dai Se.
“What is it?” Yun Qingxue asked calmly.
“Clan Leader Mo Su has arrived!” Dai Se reported respectfully.
“Let her in. Dai Se, you come in too,” Yun Qingxue instructed, her gaze fixed on the door.
The door soon opened, and the golden light inside spilled out.
Mo Su, standing outside, immediately pulled Dai Se inside and shut the door. Staring at the jade ring floating in midair, she looked at Yun Qingxue in astonishment.
Yun Qingxue met her gaze calmly. “Clan Leader Mo Su, do you recognize the subordinates recorded in this ring?”
“Of course!” Mo Su replied excitedly. “These are all the Flower King’s royal guard clans, whose loyalty to the Flower King is unwavering.
At the same time… they are also the very people that woman Mo Su most urgently wanted to eliminate after seizing power.
However, after the former Flower King’s incident, these individuals and their clans vanished without a trace.”
“Clan Leader Mo Su, do you know Elder Ning Zi?” Yun Qingxue asked again.
“I do!” Mo Su’s expression turned sorrowful, filled with endless grief. “But sadly, Elder Ning Zi was unjustly forced to death back then…”
“This ring was left by Elder Ning Zi,” Yun Qingxue said with a faint smile. “Mo Su, don’t grieve. Because the time has come for us to reclaim everything we’ve lost!”
“But Your Majesty, this ring only lists the names of those royal guards—it doesn’t reveal their whereabouts,” Mo Su said, frowning.
Yun Qingxue smiled and waved her hand through the air. “Mo Su, look—what is this?”
Mo Su’s eyes widened in shock. “The… the power of the Flower King’s Decree!”
Yun Qingxue quickly withdrew her magic and looked at Mo Su with clear eyes, smiling faintly. “After two hundred years of seclusion, my strength reached the divine level. By chance, I discovered another immense, immeasurable power within me.
I’ve long sought to trace its origin, and later I realized—it was the power of the Flower King’s Decree!”
As she spoke, Yun Qingxue waved her hand again, and a massive illusory token engraved with floral patterns materialized in the air.
“The Flower King’s Decree!” Mo Su’s heart surged with emotion.
She knew of Yun Qingxue’s origins, but she had never imagined that the sacred artifact of the Flower and Wood Clan—the Flower King’s Decree—had been hidden within her all along!
But… why was it only an illusion?
The illusion didn’t linger for long.
Yun Qingxue soon withdrew it, along with the jade ring.
She walked outside with a smile.
The sky was vast and blue, yet an inexplicable shadow seemed to lurk within its depths, casting an indescribable heaviness over the bright world.
Yun Qingxue sighed deeply. “The sky of the Xuanling Continent is truly about to change!”
Mo Su and Dai Se followed her outside, standing behind her.
“In the name of the Flower King, I summon my royal guard and subjects!” Yun Qingxue stood beneath the sky, channeling her magic to awaken the latent power of the Flower King’s Decree.
The surrounding plants swayed without wind, their leaves bowing slightly as if in reverence.
Yun Qingxue turned to Mo Su with a smile. “There’s no need for us to seek them out.
After the former Flower King’s incident, they vanished.
Elder Ning Zi left this ring to tell me who I can trust.
Now, all I need to do is release the aura of the Flower King, and they will sense my presence and come to me!”
At the summit of Yanxia Peak in Luoyun Mountain, Purple Song Sage and Mo Changxing stood gazing into the distance, their handsome faces etched with unconcealed gravity and worry.
On this windless afternoon, all the flowers and plants in the mountain suddenly bent low.
Mo Changxing turned to Purple Song Sage. “Qingxue is using the power of the Flower King to summon her people.”
“Yes. She must have unlocked what Xue Chen left for her,” Purple Song Sage replied without surprise.
“Those people were Xue Chen’s death guards, left to protect Qingxue. With them by her side, we can rest a little easier.”
“Lan Xin died in the demon realm a hundred years ago—her soul was shattered by the Demon Lord himself.
That woman Tong Yun knows Qingxue is here and has repeatedly sent assassins.
But my people intercepted them all!
Now, Tong Yun is like a startled bird.
But Lan Xin must have already revealed Qingxue’s identity to her.
This… remains a hidden danger,” Mo Changxing said worriedly.
Purple Song Sage looked at the sky, his expression equally troubled. “Don’t worry about Tong Yun for now.
Even if she leaks Qingxue’s identity, it will take time for the Divine King to learn of it.
What concerns me is… the Divine King may have already fallen into demonic ways…
His prolonged inaction suggests he is brewing an even greater calamity!
When it comes, even the bond between us as twins may fail to restrain him!”
“Master, twins are bound by life and fate—this is the law of heaven.
Can Huan Tian truly break this limitation and commit such madness?” Mo Changxing asked, disbelieving.
