Chapter 937: Pure Moon Palace's Calamity (3)



Grand Misty Serpent's Coil, Snowy Peaks

Due to the grand mist formation covering the entire Divine Serpent Empire, the snowy peaks of the mountains in the Grand Misty Serpent's Coils were particularly cold and windy.

The strong blizzards created poor visibility, making it easy for inexperienced people to lose their direction and get lost. All traces of living beings were also easily covered in seconds, making it difficult to be tracked.

Thanks to the Pure Moon Palace's familiarity with the cold terrains, the members of the Pure Moon Palace were able to evade and lose their pursuers after the initial confrontation.

However, that was also the limit of their abilities since their enemies caught them unprepared; they could not fully escape their predicament.

There were far too many enemies outside, and far more were arriving with each passing moment. The Pure Moon Palace's enemies didn't plan to rest until they were all slaughtered. Palace Mistress Celestia was fortunate enough to lead most of her sect members into a large icy cave and seal the entrance in ice and snow to cover its existence.

However, she had also been jointly attacked by five other Void Realm experts and suffered serious injuries beforehand. As such, even though she had been hiding in the cave with her sect members for the past week, her condition did not improve but deteriorated instead. Pfft-!Nôv(el)B\jnn

Palace Mistress Celestia suddenly coughed up a mouthful of icy-cold blood, which instantly froze upon contact with the cold ground.

"Palace Mistress!"

The surviving Moon Fairies and sect disciples all cried out in alarm, shock, and concern. The closest members quickly offered their hands for support.

However, Palace Mistress Celestia refused their help despite being on the verge of collapsing. "I'm alright. Don't worry about me, and just conserve your energy. Otherwise, you won't be able to last until help comes," Palace Mistress Celestia stated.

Unfortunately, her words did not offer her sect members any comfort. In fact, their mental states took an extra blow and dropped into the pits of despair and gloom.

No one would believe such an innocent and pure-looking lady could reveal such malice if they didn't see it with their own eyes.

"The Evermore Imperial Family's ruthlessness is one thing, but their decisiveness is far more frightening," Fourth Fairy Charity frowned.

"To be able to mobilize the forces of the Martial Saint Hall, Medicine King Sect, and Heavenly Sword Manor and lay an ambush on the mountains beforehand, the Evermore Imperial Family would have required a lot of preparation time."

"I'm afraid the Evermore Imperial Family had already decided to eliminate us on the same day that the news of the Heavenreacher reached our empire," Fourth Fairy Clarity speculated.

The other Moon Fairies and sect disciples were immediately startled by Fourth Fairy Clarity's speculation.

"Does that mean the Evermore Imperial Family planned to eliminate our sect regardless of whether we intended to leave or not?"

"The Evermore Imperial Family wouldn't have planned such a large-scale operation for nothing. Even before they could find out about our sect's intention to migrate, they were already prepared to annihilate us."

"That means the Palace Mistress had actually saved us. Had we stayed in the sect, we would have faced certain death."

In a short time, Palace Mistress Celestia's position in the hearts of the sect members was raised to a new peak. They held profound respect for her leadership and wisdom.

Unfortunately, their moment of delight was short-lived.

The sudden impact on the sealed entrance was like a sledgehammer slamming into their hearts, shattering their hopes.

Bam!

"They've found us!" Palace Mistress Celestia's long eyelashes trembled.
