The atmosphere, once filled with celebration and joy,
Shifted in an instant.
From across the horizon,
The delegates of the Ming Jing Men Sect arrived
Led by none other than Queen Wui Guan Jye herself.
But unlike the others,
They carried no sweets.
No offerings.
No silk-wrapped gifts.
Their hands held unsheathed swords.
Their eyes burned with vengeance.
From a distance, Queen Wui Guan raised her hand
And hurled a talisman straight toward Yu Sui.
But before it could even reach him
It burst into flames midair.
Disintegrated.
The spirit-bound crown on Yu Sui's head had destroyed it effortlessly.
A hush fell.
But Wui Guan did not stop.
Her guards charged forward
And just like that, a battle erupted.
Blades clashed.
Spells flew.
The air trembled with fury.
Wui Guan herself strode toward Yu Sui like a storm.
But before she could reach him
Mo Yan stepped in.
He stood tall between her and Yu Sui,
His stance unwavering.
And without a word, he gently pulled Yu Sui behind him...shielding him.
That was enough to break her.
Wui Guan's rage exploded.
"You're protecting a murderer, Mo Yan!"
She shouted, her voice echoing through the temple square.
"You dare defend him...after he killed my husband, Shen Jichuan?!"
Her eyes blazed.
Her fury was uncontrollable.
"Shen Jichuan helped you once! Don't forget that!"
"And this… this is how you repay him?"
"You should be ashamed, Mo Yan!"
"How long will you continue to protect this devil?"
