"Roar!"
A loud roar suddenly rang out from the roiling lava. Just as Gu Ruoyun left Zixie's embrace, an enormous fiery dragon broke through the torrential flaming sea and charged towards her.
Zixie saw the fiery dragon approaching Gu Ruoyun and retracted the gentle indulgence in his eyes. He then turned towards the great flaming dragon who had just launched a surprise attack from behind them. His voice filled with a sharp murderous intent as he yelled.
"Begone, evil creature!"
Boom!
Instantly, a powerful force slammed fiercely onto the fiery dragon, almost scattering its body. At that moment, fear appeared in the fiery dragon's cruel and bloodthirsty eyes. It was as if the purple-robed man standing in front of it was some sort of demon.
At this moment, Zixie's gaze no longer held that wicked yet gentle expression he had when he looked at Gu Ruoyun. Instead, his stare was like that of a high and mighty demon, incomparably noble and stern yet evil at the same time. Purple flames then burst from his body and cast an eye-catching sight against the lava, making one unable to turn away.
The great fiery dragon's initial fear has now turned into servitude. A low, fawning growl sounded from its throat before the sound slowly drowned in the roiling lava.
"Zixie, let's go."
Gu Ruoyun did not spare the great fiery dragon another glance as she turned towards the man next to her.
"Alright."
The wicked smile on Zixie's face returned as he turned away.
"Even though you have the Nine Emperors' aid, your body is still unable to withstand being inside this lava for a long period of time. I'll take you back now." Zixie did not wait for Gu Ruoyun to agree before he reached out and wrapped his hand around her waist. With a single leap, the flash of purple robes flew forward at a rapid speed.
...
"I never imagined that a mountain cave like this would lie within this flaming sea of lava."
Gu Ruoyun was staring at another cave within the mountain cave as she knitted her brows.
"I don't know why but this place seems very familiar. Have I been here before?"
However, she believes that she's never been here before!
Zixie did not speak. His purple eyes had continued to stare at the woman in green robes the entire time. His eyes were filled with a sense of absent-mindedness as if he had immersed himself in memories...
Gu Ruoyun, who had been inspecting the second mountain cave, missed the peculiar look on Zixie's face. Her brows were knitted together tightly as if something was about to pierce through the long river of history and into her mind.
"Buzz!"
The Nine Emperors, which had not shown any sign of movement since the battle with the Lin family, suddenly trembled. However, at this moment, Gu Ruoyun could feel the Nine Emperors'... Excitement?
That was right!
It was definitely excited!
What could this mountain cave hold which would cause the Divine Weapon, Nine Emperors to show such great excitement?
Boom!
As the Nine Emperors began to tremble even more, an image suddenly appeared in Gu Ruoyun's mind...
That image was of the inside of this mountain cave and it showed a woman who was seated next to a stove. She had a hammer and was beating a piece of metal in her hand. However, no matter how hard Gu Ruoyun tried to get a clearer look at the woman's face, her features were all a blur. It was as if a white mist had surrounded her face, giving off a mysterious feeling.
"The Divine Weapon will soon be complete. Since the Nine Dragons' spirit will be placed into this Divine Weapon, your name shall henceforth be — the Nine Emperors!"
The Nine Emperors?
Gu Ruoyun was shocked. Could it be that this woman was the one who had forged the Nine Emperors? Just how powerful was this woman with the blurred features that she would have the ability to forge a Divine Weapon like the Nine Emperors?
