第五卷 天云十二州 第一千二百零一章 少爷,这次让我保护你

Lin Xuan felt a mix of emotions as he looked up and met the gaze of the girl in mid-air. Was she still his beloved Moon? This moment brought him immense fear, even more so than when he nearly perished just now.

He didn't care about the Ahrimans; what he feared was losing that cute, clumsy little girl forever. Even if she couldn't do anything well and would always need his protection, Lin Xuan found it a kind of happiness to pamper her.

But the Ahriman who ruled the Netherworld was clearly not like Moon. Would he lose this little girl? His mind raced with thoughts as he heard a cry from the beautiful girl, who looked anxious and rushed towards him: "Young Master, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

Seeing Lin Xuan covered in blood, Moon felt heartache and tears welled up in her eyes.

Lin Xuan let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't Ahriman but his beloved Moon. "I'm fine, Young Master won't die."

Despite the pain in his eyes, he tried to comfort her: "How can you get us out? My death is nothing, but I can't bear to see you perish here."

"Ha! I thought it was Ahriman, just a worthless piece of trash. I've been worrying for nothing," the raspy voice said with arrogance.

Moon turned around and saw a handsome young man with an almost demonic appearance. The newly revealed scroll had made the Nine Heavens Immortal uneasy about Wu Ding River. Although he knew less than the Luo family, he was familiar with some of that ancient history. The scene reminded him that Moon might be Ahriman's reincarnation, even though her current manifestation only showed a Condensation Stage cultivator.

The girl's actions were too clumsy for an Ahriman. How could she call a human 'Young Master' and address the Netherworld Lord? And how could she fight against a Core Formation cultivator?

"Little girl, don't be reckless. If you have a chance, escape first. Only by living can you avenge me."

Moon knew Lin Xuan's feelings for her deeply. She felt touched as she said: "Young Master, please rest. This time, let Moon protect you."

A gentle smile appeared on the young girl's face as her hands gently brushed over Lin Xuan. Miraculously, not only did the bleeding stop, but new flesh began to grow rapidly, healing his wounds faster than any medicinal herb could.

Lin Xuan was surprised by this development. When had she acquired such powers? Moon smiled warmly at him and turned away: "Did you hurt our Young Master?"

"No, I will extract his soul later," the Nine Heavens Immortal said with a greedy look on his face. Unfortunately, he was just a ghost without a body, so he couldn't use her as a cauldron.

Moon felt uncomfortable under that gaze and was furious at him for hurting Lin Xuan. "You can die now."

The Nine Heavens Immortal was stunned but then laughed loudly: "Little girl, are you crazy? You're scaring yourself. If you want to die, I'll make it happen." The other two old monsters remained silent.

The Luo family elder didn't speak, while the nine-headed monster had a stronger spirit sense and felt something was amiss. He decided to test this situation. Their thoughts were different, but fate seemed to bring them together in an unspoken agreement.

The nine-headed monster's face turned sinister as he prepared to cast some strange secret technique. However, something inexplicable happened—earthly primordial energy couldn't be gathered. His expression changed to one of shock: "In my residence, Wu Ding River, do you think I'll let you control the earth's primordial energy?"

Moon's lips curled in a mocking smile as she faced Lin Xuan differently than before. She was proud and strong-willed, but even the kindest person had their limits.

"Why your residence?" The Nine Heavens Immortal was both angry and surprised. "You're lying! This servant wants to scare me. Do you think I'm Ahriman?"

Moon raised her hand without any extra movements, and a silver crescent moon appeared before his eyes. It looked like a wind blade but he couldn't move, torn in two.

PS: Moon can't possibly be Ahrimans now; don't get carried away or you'll get shocked later!
