Volume One: The Calamity of Liches and Sorcerers Chapter 250: Hou Yi's Crisis, the Tides Turn

Hearing Xing Tian's words, they clearly did not believe him and quickly went to investigate.

However, the result they found was completely no different from what Xing Tian had described.

"Wasn't Ancestral Magus Hou Yi supposed to have his grand wedding today? Why is he nowhere to be found now? Could something have happened to him?!"

"Chiyou, you crow, what nonsense are you spouting?"

Just as a group of Great Magi were arguing endlessly, they suddenly sensed the tremors of a fierce battle coming from the Lunar Star.

"Goodness, petty Di Jun, how dare you bully my Magus Clan like this!"

The next moment, the group of Great Magi rapidly made their way toward the Lunar Star.

Lunar Star.

Seeing Changxi appear, Hou Yi could not help but speak in a daze.

"Chang'e!"

Call after call seemed to strike directly at Changxi's heart.

She looked with a complex expression at Hou Yi, who was now covered in countless scars, left completely speechless.

At this moment, Di Jun and the others, wielding the Witch-Slaying Swords, arrived before Hou Yi once more and launched a fierce attack against him.

"Monster pups, do you really take my Magus Clan for having no one left?"

"Di Jun, acting so violently in our primordial starry sky—have the lessons from last time failed to teach you any caution?"

The voices of Emperor Weichen and the Great Magi of the Magus Clan rang out simultaneously.

Hou Yi, however, only reacted instinctively by raising his hand to block the Witch-Slaying Sword swung down by Di Jun.

A deep wound was carved directly into Hou Yi's arm, and bright red blood dripped steadily down his limb.

Yet Hou Yi acted as though he felt no pain whatsoever.

"How can this be? What is this sword, that it can actually injure the body of an Ancestral Magus?"

Xing Tian and the others could not help but look on in utter shock.

Witnessing Hou Yi's gruesome and harrowing condition, the assembled Great Magi rushed forward one after another, transforming into their Great Magus true forms and furiously throwing punches toward Di Jun and his forces.

In an instant, the winds and clouds shifted, and the laws of heaven and earth surged in a riot. Deafening roars filled the air.

"Petty Di Jun, you go too far! Relying on a weapon to try and touch the Ancestral Magi of my Magus Clan—you are far too naive."

With a loud crash, Xing Tian slammed his shield and giant axe into the ground, then charged toward Di Jun and the others with bloodshot eyes.

Jiufeng was wreathed in roaring thunder, wielding a lightning spear with an heroic and valiant bearing. Her battle robe fluttered behind her as she locked onto the various Demon Kings and hurled the lightning spear straight at them.

In an instant, countless bolts of divine lightning descended, crackling and slamming violently into the Demon Kings, roasting them inside and out.

Chiyou grasped a steel trident and directly engaged Bai Ze and the other Demon Saints in combat.

"Monster pups, today I will let you witness the wrath of the Magus Clan!"

In an instant, the entire battlefield erupted into true fury, with both sides locked in a frenzied slaughter.

Rain Master swiftly arrived not far from Hou Yi, summoning a gentle drizzle that poured down over Hou Yi's body.

The nourishing rain washed away the dark, coagulated blood from Hou Yi's wounds one by one, after which Rain Master produced the restorative Three-Light Divine Water, sprinkling a few drops onto Hou Yi.

The wounds on Hou Yi's body could be seen healing at a visible rate.

The previously ferocious and terrifying injuries continuously mended themselves.

"Chang'e!"

Hou Yi continued to murmur Chang'e's name over and over in his mouth, his eyes locked unwaveringly onto Changxi's figure.

At this moment, Changxi's appearance had undergone some changes; half of her features resembled Chang'e, while the other half retained her original appearance.

"Alas!"

Seeing Hou Yi in such a state, Changxi let out a deep sigh.

Looking at Hou Yi from such close proximity, her emotions were incomparably complex and heavy.

This was because earlier, while Hou Yi was battling Di Jun and the others, Changxi's divine consciousness had suddenly descended upon Chang'e.

For reasons unknown, at that exact moment, she had completely resonated with the fervent emotions shared between Chang'e and Hou Yi, as well as Chang'e's deep and lingering attachment to him.

One could say that she was now both Changxi and Chang'e—or rather, that she had been herself all along.

Chang'e was merely a wisp of primordial spirit that Xihe had torn away from her own soul while keeping her under control.

Using the Kunlun Mirror of the Queen Mother of the West, Xihe had patched it together using secret arts and cast it through special means to be born among the human race.

Originally, they would have been two completely unrelated entities, but because of the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation left behind by Houtu within her, a special connection had formed between them.

This was why Changxi's divine consciousness had descended upon Chang'e, and why Hou Yi had discovered that she was different.

Recalling Hou Yi's past promises, along with the reckless abandon he showed for her sake today,

even though her heart was as tranquil and icy as the Lunar Star itself, she could not help but experience stirred emotions.

"Hou Yi!"

Hearing the name spoken from Changxi's lips, Hou Yi suddenly regained much of his spirit, a trace of clarity returning to his gaze.

At the same time, he took a step forward, arrived by Changxi's side, pulled her tightly into his embrace, and began to murmur incessantly.

"Chang'e, my Chang'e! Is it really you?"

Hou Yi stared at the Changxi in his arms with an intensely blazing gaze.

At this moment, Hou Yi seemed to have completely recovered his lucidity, though his eyes still held room for no one else but Changxi.

Changxi's face flushed a brilliant red; ever since her birth, she had never been in such close contact with any male.

Feeling the overbearing aura radiating from Hou Yi, along with the incredibly powerful and tightly knit muscles embracing her, she found herself utterly captivated.

"Mmhmm!"

Looking into Hou Yi's burning, expectant, and refusing-to-take-no-for-an-answer gaze, Changxi could not help but nod shyly.

Earlier, she had sensed Chang'e's aura gradually growing faint, so she directly summoned the lunar origin, merging the lunar authority within both of their bodies.

This was why the previous scene had occurred.

It was precisely because she had fully integrated the lunar authority that the barrier on the Lunar Star was completely shattered, alerting both the primordial starry sky and the Magus Clan.

Receiving Changxi's reply, Hou Yi's mood instantly cleared up from the gloomy skies, and even the injuries left behind by the Witch-Slaying Sword seemed to vanish completely without a trace.

"Wait for me just a moment; I will deal with the matters of the Monster Clan first!"

The usually cold and unyielding Hou Yi actually spoke such gentle and affectionate words.

Then, Hou Yi turned to launch an attack toward Di Jun and the others.

However, Changxi suddenly grabbed hold of Hou Yi.

"Hou Yi!"

Seeing this, Hou Yi gently cupped Changxi's face and leaned in to meet her delicate, cherry lips. After a long while, Hou Yi finally released Changxi with lingering reluctance.

"Be obedient!"

Yet Changxi gently and shyly spoke up in return.

"My strength is formidable now as well; do not underestimate me."

Her expression then shifted, turning solemn as she looked toward Xihe.

"Besides, I also have some trouble that needs resolving!"

It seemed that although Changxi had now fully obtained the lunar origin and authority, she had no intention whatsoever of letting Xihe off.

Hearing this, Hou Yi gently extended his right index finger and stroked the bridge of Changxi's delicate nose.

"Then be a little careful, and do not hurt yourself!"

Changxi let out a light laugh and said,

"You are the one who needs to be careful, and not end up covered in wounds like before."

The next moment, the two of them looked at each other, smiled, and nodded.

Then, each charged toward their respective enemies.
