Yan Luo gazed into the distance, a strangely tranquil serenity settling over her features! Thinking back, it had been three years since I last saw her, not since we parted ways at the Moon Sect of White Day Gate!

Upon reaching the Azure Moon Continent, we exchanged letters for a time. But after I set foot on the Demon Dragon Continent, first submerging myself in secluded cultivation within the Demon Dragon World, then being drawn into the Illusory Realm due to the matter of the Crimson Blood Demon Sword, and subsequently donning the Heavenly Demon Battle Armor and fighting on the battlefield—the correspondence with her had dwindled almost entirely. Thinking of this, I felt a touch of guilt! Yet, facing the Yan Luo before me now, the words caught in my throat.

"I apologize," I managed after a long silence, the shame heavy in my tone.

"......" Yan Luo finally drew her gaze back, looking at me as if slightly surprised, before a casual smile touched her lips. "It's nothing. I know many things have happened, and you were not entirely free to choose your path."

"It's a relief you understand." For some reason, Yan Luo's faint smile swept away the unsettling thoughts swirling within me; all the elaborate explanations and justifications I had prepared seemed suddenly unnecessary.

"No matter what has transpired," Yan Luo said calmly, "I only hope you understand that the entirety of the Moon Sect will always support you."

"Thank you." I knew that at this point, any explanation was superfluous.

"Do we need to speak of such things between us?" Yan Luo asked placidly. "Do you still remember the pact we made back at the Zuma Temple?"

"Of course," I replied with earnestness.

"I have achieved what I wished for now," Yan Luo remarked with a light smile. "The Moon Sect has grown rapidly these past two years, and all of that is due to you."

"........" I was momentarily stunned, unsure of what to say. The truth was, I hadn't done much directly for the Moon Sect these three years, yet its swift development was undeniably linked to me. Because of the Zuma Temple and the Sand City Treasure incident, the Moon Sect successfully allied with the Dragon Shadow Villa, Crimson Moon Villa, and Flowing Cloud Villa to form the Star-Moon Alliance, laying a solid foundation for the Moon Sect’s subsequent growth. Furthermore, due to my close ties, once I became a Heavenly Demon Warrior, Yan Luo's status soared; her position within the Moon Sect became crucial, eventually leading her to take charge. Under her leadership, the Moon Sect then surged forward, and today, its prestige is no less than that of Sabak or the Four Great Clans.

It could be said that Yan Luo's initial aspiration to revitalize the Moon Sect had indeed been fulfilled.

"So, now it is my turn to help you," Yan Luo stated calmly.

"....." Looking at Yan Luo, I didn't know how to respond, only managing a solemn nod.

However, mentioning the Zuma Temple couldn't help but bring Qian Yue to mind. What struck me as odd was that Qian Yue hadn't accompanied Yan Luo here. I asked out of curiosity, "By the way, where is Qian Yue? I don't see her with you."

"Qian Yue has left the Moon Sect," Yan Luo's expression flickered with sadness. "She left without a word. I don't know where she has gone."

"Left without a word?" I was somewhat shocked. "What happened?"

"Six months ago, for some unknown reason, Qian Yue suddenly departed the Moon Sect," Yan Luo murmured sadly. "The only thing she left behind was a letter, telling me she missed home."

"To visit home, one doesn't need to sneak away," I felt a strange unease, yet I sensed I was grasping at something important.

In truth, I had always been intensely curious about Qian Yue's background. She presented as the kind of sheltered, high-born young lady who had grown up in luxury. Coupled with the near-identical appearance between Qian Yue and Mo Ling, I had long suspected a very close relationship between them.

And then, the investigation conducted by the Demon Dragon Pigeon Group provided me with another closely guarded secret: Mo Ling's true identity.

According to the investigation report, Mo Luo Yinfeng hailed from a prestigious noble family on the Sealed Demon Continent, the Young Master of the Mo family. In this generation, there were only two descendants in the Mo family: one was Mo Luo Yinfeng, and the other was Mo Ling! Meaning, Mo Luo Yinfeng and Mo Ling were full siblings!

Therefore, upon learning this news, I abandoned the plan to risk infiltration into the Brotherhood to rescue Yun Shang.

Yes, whether it was me or Mo Luo Yinfeng, as opposing adversaries, we naturally paid close attention to every detail concerning the other. Given Mo Luo Yinfeng's caution, he absolutely would have anticipated my risking infiltration into the Brotherhood to rescue Yun Shang.

Of course, once I knew this, it naturally brought to mind the strikingly similar faces of Qian Yue and Mo Ling, leading me to guess there must be a close blood tie between them.

However, the Pigeon Group intelligence from the Demon Dragon Imperial Family made no mention of Mo Luo Yinfeng having another sister besides Mo Ling, which left my speculation uncertain.

Now, thinking it over, Qian Yue's departure six months ago seemed to coincide exactly with the period after I arrived on the Sealed Demon Continent. Could I be vaguely grasping at something?

Did Qian Yue's sudden departure have something to do with my arrival on the Sealed Demon Continent?

Did Qian Yue truly have a close relationship with Mo Luo Yinfeng?

Pondering these convoluted relationships made my head ache. Looking over at the slightly dejected Yan Luo, I felt it necessary to offer her a warning.

"There is something I think I must tell you."

"What is it?" Yan Luo seemed surprised, looking up at my grave expression.

"This is only speculation," I stated seriously. "Qian Yue is very likely from the Sealed Demon Continent, and her relationship with Mo Luo Yinfeng is extremely close."

"This, how could that be?" Yan Luo was nearly stunned speechless.

"I don't want to suspect her like this," I admitted with some helplessness. "But, I have seen someone who looks almost exactly like Qian Yue."

"Someone exactly like Qian Yue," Yan Luo looked at me curiously.

"Her name is Mo Ling," I said solemnly. "I trust you are not unfamiliar with that name."

"Mo Ling!" Yan Luo gasped. "The current head of the Sealed Demon Brotherhood!"

"Yes," I continued. "And Mo Ling is Mo Luo Yinfeng's sister."

"........" Yan Luo seemed frozen, murmuring after a long pause, "Could it be that Qian Yue has some close connection to Mo Luo Yinfeng and Mo Ling?"

"Perhaps," I sighed helplessly.

"How could this be?" Yan Luo seemed to recall something. "No wonder Qian Yue became so strange and preoccupied after hearing you arrived on the Sealed Demon Continent. It must be because of this."

"Alright, let's not dwell on these matters for now," I sighed deeply. "It is merely a guess. Even if it is true, it’s not catastrophic. After all, Qian Yue has done nothing to betray us. Perhaps she left the Moon Sect precisely to avoid making the positions between us too awkward."

"........" Yan Luo’s expression was grim, her usually calm face etched with pain.

"War is merely a difference in stance; I believe Qian Yue also did not wish to see the day of bloodshed, which is why she left the Moon Sect."

"Let's hope so," Yan Luo finally breathed out after a moment. "I believe Qian Yue never intended to deceive us. Forget about it for now!" Yan Luo then continued, "I brought you something good this time, hoping it will be of assistance to you."

"What good thing?" I asked, intrigued.

"Do you remember the Memory Set that you asked Steward Jian Li to bring back to the Moon Sect?" Yan Luo asked.

"Ah! The Memory Set!" I exclaimed in shock. "Did you bring the Memory Set after all?"

"Indeed," Yan Luo affirmed. "I wonder if this Memory Set can be helpful to you?"

"Wonderful!" I was ecstatic at this sudden good news.

As a veteran player of Legend, no one understood better than I the miraculous utility of items possessing special spatial teleportation abilities, like the Memory Set, during wartime.

Recalling the myriad of imaginative and never-ending surprise attack tactics centered around the Memory Set in countless siege battles from my previous life, I felt an uncontrollable rush of excitement.

Undoubtedly, the Memory Set was arguably the most formidable war tool in the Marfa Continent. Moreover, I was confident that the siege tactics I had accumulated over seven years of playing Legend, combined with the Memory Set, could unleash astonishing power.

Just as I was rejoicing over this unexpected good news, I suddenly sensed several auras stealthily approaching.

Although these auras were well concealed, my cultivation as a Heavenly Demon Warrior allowed me to easily perceive their presence!

Seeing how carefully they attempted to hide, it was clear they meant no good. Could they be spies? In a flash of thought, the Dragon Shadow Sword instantly shot out of its scabbard, followed by a casual wave of my hand! Six beams of Dragon Shadow shot forth like lightning toward the direction where the auras were concealed!

I instantly sprang up, rocketing forward!

Just then, several figures suddenly darted out from a corner!

"Oh dear," followed by a few cries of alarm!

It was only then that I clearly saw the figures that had suddenly appeared: it was Feng Qingtian and Long Yuan Feixue, among others. Their faces drained of color as they stared at the rapidly approaching Dragon Shadows!

Damn it, seeing that display, I knew things were bad. I quickly reined in my sword slightly, and the lightning-fast Dragon Shadows abruptly changed course, soaring towards the high sky!

But even so, Feng Qingtian and the others were left pale-faced, still shaking off the shock.

Fortunately, if I had been even slightly slower in retracting my hand, the speed and power of the Dragon Shadows would have certainly pierced straight through them.

The evaded Dragon Shadows traced several graceful arcs in the air before swiftly returning into the Dragon Shadow Sword!

Only then did Yan Luo turn her head in surprise, finding Feng Qingtian and the others looking up at us, dusty and embarrassed, like fallen gourds.

"Y-you! Why are you here?" Yan Luo seemed surprised and slightly agitated, her voice even stuttering a little. The calm composure on her face instantly flushed crimson.

"Hehe, just passing by, passing by," Feng Qingtian and Tong Lei blinked awkwardly, sharing a sly smile.

"The moonlight is nice tonight," even the usually straightforward Tong Lei tried to play it off with a laugh. "We were out for a stroll, and happened to pass by." He then deliberately struck a graceful pose, looking up at the moon.

Passing by—only a fool would believe that. Seeing their tiptoeing movements, how could I not realize these fellows were clearly here to eavesdrop!

Glancing at Long Yuan Feixue, Ying Zhen Kuangren, and the others nearby, they too were flushed crimson, clearly guilty of sneaking around.

"We didn't expect to run into the Marshal and the Sect Master tonight," Hu Xiao Shan Ye, however, maintained a straight face.

"Heh heh, in that case, it truly is a coincidence," I responded with feigned casualness. "Then please, continue your stroll."

"Strolling, haha, strolling," the group scattered as if fleeing for their lives, leaving only Yan Luo staring at me, looking awkward and bewildered!

Their interruption made the atmosphere feel strangely convoluted! Yan Luo and I shared a wry smile. Thinking of the Memory Set Yan Luo had brought, I lost any inclination for lingering romance and quickly ushered Yan Luo back to the Marshal's Residence.

In the main hall! Only the five of us—myself, Yan Luo, Yin Shuang, Yin He, and Ji Du—were present! They were curiously examining the three ancient-styled pieces of jewelry resting on the table.

I was certainly no stranger to the Memory Set; after all, it was I who had brought the Memory Set out of the Nether Sacred Domain in the Illusory Realm.

I had then handed it over to Jian Li, who, upon returning to the Bichi Continent, passed it to the Moon Sect. Seeing the Memory Set again now filled me with a flood of complicated emotions.

It could be said that the battle in the Nether Sacred Domain was one of the most dangerous adventures of my entire life. Every time I recall the terrifying prowess of Blood Tiger Luo Jiang, I still feel a bone-chilling tremor and palpitations.

"Is this the Memory Set left over from the era of the Divine Dragon Empire?" Yin Shuang couldn't help but pick up the Memory Necklace, examining it closely.

"En!" Yan Luo nodded slightly. "I hardly need to elaborate on the functions of the Memory Set to you all."

"The spatial teleportation of the Memory Set has been rumored across the Marfa Continent for ages; I never imagined it was in the hands of the Moon Sect," Yin He smiled faintly. "Before this, we weren't entirely certain of victory in this war, but now, with the Memory Set in hand, the outcome will be entirely different."

"Let's properly plan now on how to fully utilize the Memory Set," I stated seriously.
