Leng Yuehua sat on her seat again, while Huai also stopped looking at her and focused on the performance.
Yan was just enjoying his food, and from time to time looked at the alcohol that his master and grand elder were drinking. But as he is still a child in this life, he can't drink it at all.
Wuhe saw all of this with his eyes and chuckled to himself.
The performance ended with a great clap from the onlookers inside the hall.
Suddenly Wuhe frowned, and beside him Huai also looked through the void. His face turned ugly too. The whole Yuxin Star was now going through turmoil. One of the Nether Shadow Clan's ancestors, known as the Phantom Shadow Lord, a peak Galaxy Sovereign, had invaded Yuxin Star.
Among all those nether races, the Shadow Clan is the most annoying of them all. They can easily hide in shadows. So to enter human territory they just needed to hide in their shadows from the battlefield.
Humans can't detect them at all. And now the whole Yuxin Star, alongside its 300 subordinate planets, were all invaded by millions of Shadow Race cultivators. They don't have any proper shape, they are just like black souls until they revealed their true forms...
Mei Ling felt immense tension in her head right now. She is at only the level 4 of Galaxy Sovereign realm. How could she fight against the Phantom Lord with her meager strength... Xiao Yu beside her clenched her clothes hard. She also knows these invaders, one of these shadow clan cultivator took her family's life.
Immense hatred and fear swept over her body, she started crying...while mei ling rubbed her head and said , " Don't worry Xiao Yu ,everything will be okay . Master is going to take action herself . "
Xiao Yu nodded her head in response...
Wuhe looked at Huai, poured another cup of plum wine for him, and asked, "Are we going to take action ourselves?"
Huai also removed his gaze from the void and looked at the cup. Then he took the cup to his lips, and before drinking the wine from it, said, "No! I want to see what that person hiding inside the Jade Serenity Palace is going to do."
Wuhe nodded his head and just smiled.
Leng Yuehua doesn't know what is going on outside their courtyard at all. She started performing a beautiful melody on her guqin.
She is the main performer in the hall. The moment she performed on her guqin, the people inside all looked at her with mesmerized eyes. But for Wuhe and Huai it was just boring. As a Divine Emperor, Wuhe had seen many of these types of performances in his life, so it was just like Yuehua was playing with the instrument, not playing a pleasant tune.
As for Huai, he had already found at least 1000 mistakes inside the tune she was playing, so he was also not interested in her performance.
He just enjoyed the wine in his cup.
A huge uproar had already spread over the 301 planets. Even the formation protecting this galaxy was torn open by the secret technique of the Nether Shadow Clan.
Phantom Shadow Lord, he was the one who instigated the attack on young humans inside the Ten Thousand Mountain Secret Realm and many others.
Screams upon screams started to appear in the vicinity of humans, many people died in the onslaught of the Shadow Clan members.
Inside Jade Serenity Palace, Mei Ling had already put Xiao Yu inside a secret chamber so that, even if their whole galaxy died today, at least she would be safe until the human powerhouses arrived.
She came before a magnificent door inside the secret chamber of the palace.
"Mei Ling wanted to meet you, Master!"
A cold female voice came from inside the room.
"Sigh ! .....Come inside."
Mei Ling's whole body shook at that voice. The person inside is her master. But her master can't reveal herself to outsiders for a reason.
She entered the room. A beautiful girl at maybe 26 or 27 years old was sitting on the bed. One of her arms was as if rotting in pain. She is injured. But this injury is not simple. The girl tried many things in all these years but still can't heal her injuries at all.
She asked, "What do you want, Mei Ling? You should know I can't take action myself at all..."
Mei Ling looked at her master, who was still trying to fix her wounds. She asked, "Master! You didn't find a cure yet?"
Her master shook her head. "No! That damn mongrel used poison to attack me. I can't treat my wounds..."
Mei Ling sighed and told her, "Master, this time the Phantom Shadow Lord invaded my territory. I'm only at level 4 of Galaxy Sovereign. If I fight against them we'll have to die... please protect Xiao Yu for me."
The girl looked at Mei Ling and after thinking for a few more minutes she answered, "I'll take care of her. And take this, it'll help you fight against that filthy nether race..."
She took out a beautiful guqin from her space ring and gave it to Mei Ling. She said again,
"Mei Ling! It is an immortal weapon. Don't lose it."
Mei Ling nodded. She knows that her master is an immortal. She doesn't know what immortals are doing in their small plane. But according to her master there are many of them inside this lower plane... and she was injured by one of them.
Mei Ling came out of the room and the girl sighed a deep breath. "Mei Ling! Your master is incompetent. She can't even fight her own battle, how could I save you..."
Her eyes were sad. She looked out through the void.
Inside the hall, where Huai and Wuhe were sitting, the performance of Leng Yuehua was finished. She started another melody to play. From time to time she looked at Huai. But she became more and more surprised. While everyone in the hall was mesmerized by her tune, these three people didn't even budge to look at her.
She played her tune more seriously.
Wuhe sighed, "So she didn't take action herself."
Yan also heard everything clearly from his master and grand elder. For him, what his master and grand elder were talking about was complete gibberish. He doesn't know just about whom they are speaking about... isn't Mei Ling the lord of this galaxy?
Huai chuckled, "She is injured, Wuhe. How could she take action herself... sigh!"
He said again, "Maybe I'd need to take action myself... that intelligent tin doesn't even know that her dear human territory is invaded by the filthy shadows..."
He was talking badly about Nexus just now, and his system felt immense pleasure by hearing those words.
A sudden notification came to his mind.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations host for learning the great truth of the intelligent Tin.]
[The system is pleased, giving you the reward: "The Eternal Guqin."]
Huai felt dumbfounded. He knew all along that his system doesn't like Nexus at all. But he doesn't know that it dislikes her so, so much that even for cursing her, his system gave him a reward.
Mei Ling, after getting out of her master's room, had already clashed against the Phantom Shadow Lord. And alongside her, other elders and cultivators from the Jade Serenity Palace also fought against the Nether Shadow Clan together. A huge war started upon the Yuxin Galaxy.
Inside the hall, Leng Yuehua also felt something was wrong when a huge team of thousands of Nether Shadow creatures invaded the hall too. Leng Yuehua immediately became alert, while the cultivators of various forces inside, alongside even the performers who were secret members of the Jade Serenity Palace, fought against the Nether Shadow Clan.
Huai sighed. When any of those shadow creatures attacked him or Yan or Wuhe, their bodies just vanished into the air, as if just a moment before they were not existing at all.
Huai stood up from his position, looked at Wuhe and asked, "Do you wanna hear something good?"
Wuhe looked into his boyfriend's eyes, nodded immediately, and smiled. Huai also smiled back and said nonchalantly, "Then protect Yan for me."
Wuhe nodded like a puppy. His wolf had already submitted to Huai as a puppy, looked at him mesmerized.
Human cultivators were already at a huge disadvantage against the Nether Shadow Clan. Whenever they tried to attack, the shadows would simply melt into their own shadows and strike from behind.
In just moments, thousands of humans died. Corpses lay scattered across the ground. On distant planets, ordinary people trembled in fear, while the Phantom Shadow Lord laughed maniacally in the sky above Yuxin Star.
"Hahahahaha! Mei Ling, I came to your galaxy today with a huge plan... I have planned this for many, many years."
Mei Ling sneered, her immortal guqin humming in her hands. "So what? Do you think the human sovereigns will just let you have what you want? They will reach us at any moment now."
The Phantom Shadow Lord sneered back, his form flickering like black smoke. "Heh! Then just wait for them. Let me tell you a secret — other powerhouses from my Shadow Clan are already attacking your human powerhouses in different star regions... they can't reach here at all right now... hahahaha! Now die!"
Mei Ling felt immense hatred rise in her heart. She grew tense. By now, the human powerhouses should have received the distress call and sent help, but no one had come.
And what the Phantom Shadow Lord said... was true.
The girl from inside the room had already appeared in the chamber where Xiao Yu was hiding. She coaxed the little girl to stay beside her. Xiao Yu knew her as well.
Xiao Yu asked, "Grandmaster! Is my master okay?" Her eyes were teary as she looked at the injured lady.
The girl replied, "Don't worry, Xiao Yun! Everything will be okay." But in secret, she clenched her fist hard. As an immortal, she should protect them, but due to her injury, if she took action herself she would die at any moment.
At this moment, from inside the Moonlit Jade Pavilion, a beautiful sound rang out through the whole galaxy. The sound was gentle, as if it appeared in the very ears of each and every person.
The injured girl looked towards the pavilion in horror. Not just her even the cultivators fighting above, the Phantom Shadow Lord, and Mei Ling herself looked at the pavilion through the void.
The tone sounded again.
"Ting... ting... ting..."
Leng Yuehua, inside the hall, looked towards where she was sitting to see it was that person , the person she can't see through now sitting at her place. A beautiful black guqin was in front of him, while he was messing with the strings attached to it.
She felt immense anger in her heart. 'What is this person doing now! We are fighting against humanity's enemy and he just needs to play with his guqin at this moment...'
