Chapter 728: Chapter 388: The Moon Rises Above the Sea "Our Highness has more important matters to attend to and has no time to waste chatting idly with you." The man in golden armor spoke as he stepped forward to stop the man in purple robes. The man in purple robes smiled faintly and said, "Alright, you can leave, but leave the Demon Emperor’s Divine Weapon behind. I promise my men won’t trouble you." "Divine Weapon?" Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, thinking to herself, "It seems this guy already knows." As the man in purple robes noticed the subtle change in Yan Ruyu’s expression, he casually ran his fingers through his hair. "Ever since my Divine Body was perfected, I have yet to find a weapon that suits me well. Perhaps the Demon Emperor’s Divine Weapon is worth a try." The man in purple robes smirked darkly, his words implying that if the Divine Weapon wasn’t to his liking, he would easily discard it. To Yan Ruyu and her companions, these words were nothing short of a grave insult. Yan Ruyu took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself. In a situation like this, composure was her best weapon. Once she steadied her emotions, Yan Ruyu raised her head and looked directly at the man in purple robes, her voice firm as she said, "Sir, I fear you must be mistaken. We don’t have any so-called Demon Emperor’s Divine Weapon here." "Ha ha..." The man in purple robes laughed, his grin growing wider. It was as though he had already anticipated Yan Ruyu’s answer. He let out a disdainful chuckle, his voice tinged with mockery: "Oh? Really? Princess Yan Ruyu, do you truly think I know nothing?" Yan Ruyu’s eyebrows twitched slightly, sensing deeper meaning in his words. She composed herself and responded, "I don’t understand what you mean." The man in purple robes shook his head lightly, as if mocking Yan Ruyu’s ignorance. "Years ago, the Demon Emperor’s Divine Weapon burst forth from its tomb, shaking the entire continent. Such a force—even great cultivators—felt its impact. In the end, didn’t your Treasure Basin claim it?" The man in purple robes described the events as if he had witnessed them firsthand. Yan Ruyu was shocked, not expecting the man in purple robes to know the matter so well. This demonstrated that the cultivation of the man in purple robes was certainly formidable. Yan Ruyu refused to easily admit anything: "Sir, I know nothing of what you’re saying. The Treasure Basin has amazing powers, but it cannot collect just anything." "Heh heh..." The man in purple robes didn’t seem to mind Yan Ruyu’s denial, letting out two cold chuckles. Just then, the night sky suddenly darkened. "The Moon Rises Over the Sea!" Following the man in purple robes’ booming shout, a radiant moon appeared in the vast starry sky. "Huh?" The crowd was stunned upon seeing this. This "The Moon Rises Over the Sea" phenomenon was an ancient Wheel Sea vision. How could the man in purple robes wield it? In Yan Ruyu’s eyes, a flash of astonishment appeared—she finally understood. The man in purple robes before her was none other than Ji Haoyue, the seventh prince of the Ji family. Ji Haoyue, as one of the family’s most outstanding members, had talent and power unmatched by many. "So that’s how it is." Yan Ruyu murmured softly, "I’ve long heard of Mr. Ji’s reputation. Seeing you today, you truly live up to the name." Ji Haoyue’s lips curled into a confident smile. In his eyes, his strength had already cowed everyone present. "Your Highness, you’ve finally come to understand." Ji Haoyue’s tone carried a playful edge. "While the Treasure Basin is impressive, it pales in comparison to my Ji family’s Wheel Sea visions." Yan Ruyu drew a deep breath, knowing she couldn’t lose her composure before Ji Haoyue. "Mr. Ji, though the Treasure Basin isn’t omnipotent, it isn’t so easily replaced either." Her voice was firm. Ji Haoyue was momentarily stunned; he hadn’t expected Yan Ruyu to remain so composed after witnessing his Wheel Sea vision. "Very well, Miss Yan, let me see what you’re capable of." At this moment, the moon in the night sky grew even brighter, illuminating the entire sea. The crowd’s gaze was once again drawn to it. They knew that tonight’s celestial phenomenon would be an unforgettable memory. Yan Ruyu, however, had crafted a plan in her mind. She understood that making enemies with a grand family like the Ji family was unwise. But she wouldn’t give up easily either. She would prove the worth of the Treasure Basin in her own way. Because protecting the Great Emperor’s Holy Treasure was the most important task. "Your Highness, allow me to face this boy!" As Yan Ruyu was absorbed in her thoughts, an elderly demon clan servant suddenly stepped forward. Yan Ruyu was about to stop her, but the old woman had already propelled herself into the air, charging at Ji Haoyue. Watching the old woman rush forward, Ji Haoyue stood motionless, seemingly indifferent to the incoming attack. His gaze was profound, as if awaiting something. "Shua!" Just as the old woman approached, the bright moon suddenly emitted a dazzling brilliance, akin to a blazing sun, illuminating the entire night sky. Within the moon’s radiance was a powerful force. This force instantly formed an invisible Qi Formation, enveloping the entire battlefield. "Ah..." The old woman, struck by the moonlight, felt an invisible pressure surging at her. Her motion abruptly halted, as though an unseen giant hand had grabbed hold of her. She let out a scream, struggling desperately, only to find herself unable to advance or retreat an inch. "What... what kind of power is this?" The old woman was filled with dread, never having encountered such a formidable Qi Formation. Ji Haoyue smiled faintly, his voice echoing within the moon’s glow: "This is the Ji family’s secret technique, The Moon Rises Over the Sea." This formation was a long-established family legacy, capable of harnessing the moon’s power to create a mighty Qi Formation, suppressing enemies’ movements, and even stripping them of their combat capability.
