Necropolis Immortal-Chapter 1818: The Old One Shows Up After The Young One Is Beaten

Chapter 1820: Master of Darkness

"I don't want to!" Moran Xutong glared. "Moran Dongning betrayed the family and stole our most important treasure. Why should I meet with her?!"

"What did she steal?" Lu Yun blinked with astonishment.

Chu Xingran once said that he pitied Moran Dongning for having the same destiny as him and thus gave up his opportunity to become a spacetime traveler. Instead, he granted it to her so that she could protect herself. Hence, Lu Yun had thought Moran Dongning was also running away from an arranged marriage. But… that didn't seem to be the case?

"Oh wait, no. Chu Xingran fleeing to the Land of Reincarnation to escape from the Dafeng miss was just his cover. His true goal was to hide and shake off the Imperial Seal," Lu Yun suddenly recalled.

Eyes wide, Moran Xutong refused to say a word.

"You know all of my plans. Wanna take a guess if I'll let you live or not?" Lu Yun smirked. "You have a Lifeline Talisman on you, don't you?"

Moran Xutong shuddered.

"Oh, don't give him a hard time, he doesn't know what I took." Black light sparkled as Moran Dongning materialized in the air. She wore a black shirt and the ghost mask on her face.

"Sister…" Moran Xutong trembled when he saw the girl's sudden appearance.

"You're still so flighty and short-tempered after all these years. You used Darkness Sudein against the Dragon Formula Academy because you wanted me to show myself, right?" Curiosity tinged Moran Dongning's lilting voice. She'd never exposed her whereabouts, so while everyone knew she was in the Land of Reincarnation and its Time Guard, very few people knew she was at the Formula Academy and by Lu Yun's side.

Moran Xutong nodded. "I've seen sixth brother… he told me." He cast another wary glance at Lu Yun and Jian Bu'er.

"We can talk inside." Lu Yun understood the boy's reaction. Though emotions ran high and he didn't want to see Moran Dongning, at the same time, he also really wanted to see her.

Lu Yun didn't want anyone to find out about him and Moran Dongning because her identity was special. Additionally, the item she'd taken had sent the clan into an uproar.

There would be nothing to fear after they shifted to the Dragon Formula Academy because it was completely Lu Yun's domain. All sorts of formations isolated them from the outside world and they didn't need to worry about eavesdroppers.

"What did you take from your clan?" Lu Yun asked curiously.

Moran Dongning pointed to the mask on her face. "This. My mother left it to me, but the clan claimed it. I'm just taking back what belongs to me."

"So you aren't being forced into an arranged marriage?" Lu Yun coughed.

"The clan does want to trade me for certain gains, but my sixth brother ran away with me. We came here." Moran Dongning's sixth brother was the Spacetime King. Since he'd left the Land of Reincarnation with the overlord of Ice, he plainly didn't want to be involved with anything ever again.

However, it remained to be seen if he knew that his younger sister had become a spacetime traveler.

"You want it?" Moran Dongning took the mask off her face and offered it to Lu Yun.

He sprang away like it was a massive cockroach—the mere sight of this mask was enough to call up past trauma. The akasha ghosts came from it and had plagued him to no end, nearly killing him a few times. The mask also contained the resentment of his future self toward Lu Yun. It'd even been tainted with the bitterness of the emperors who'd fallen at the end of human dao.

While akasha ghosts had disappeared after his future self melded with his present self, the mask itself still caused him to break out in a cold sweat.

Moran Xutong's eyebrows raised. "Sis, is he my future brother-in-law?"

"…no," Moran Dongning blushed. "What's a little kid like you doing saying nonsense like that?"

Lu Yun rubbed his nose; he knew that he shouldn't make a peep. When Moran Dongning had been the little nun, she had indeed clamored that she'd become Lu Yun's dao partner in the future.

"So what are you doing here?" Moran Dongning grew serious again and put the mask back on her face, not wanting Lu Yun to see her current expression.

Lu Yun loved only Qing Yu and had eyes for no one else. He was completely unmoved by the ten stunning women that were his Yama Kings. Even his second dao partner, the little fox, had spent an entire eon before her devotion and company finally won a place in his heart.

What did Moran Dongning count for? So what if she confessed her feelings? It'd just result in Lu Yun becoming distant.

"Moran Xuhua is coming in person for you!" Moran Xutong quickly said. "He's found a way to enter the Land of Reincarnation with his primary body and will be on the move soon!"

"Moran Xuhua?!" Moran Dongning's eyes widened. "He already accessed forty-eight levels of sequence before I entered the land. So now…"

"He forged his dao palace after reaching fifty-four levels of sequence and became a supreme as soon as he broke through!"

"Fifty-four levels?!" gasped the Demonic Vine. "Uh huh, what did I say? I'm just thirty-six, so there's no rush at all."

Lu Yun rubbed his temples; he'd heard of Moran Xuhua before—this was the strongest genius of the previous generation. Of course, no matter how old one was, one didn't count as the younger generation after accessing thirty levels of sequence.

The Myriad Spirit and Firstspirit Supremes had been the ones to first bring up this name. Moran Xuhua was the youngest supreme in the chief worlds; when Qing Buyi trespassed on Moran territory in his hunt for the Nebula Supreme, it'd been Moran Xuhua who stepped forward to demand an explanation.

Granted, Qing Buyi had cursed him back into hiding, but still.

Now that he was about to enter the Land of Reincarnation with his primary body, there was likely no one in the land who was his match. Hongjun, Leize, and the others need to safeguard the worlds and be on the lookout for the god of Mount Tai and corpse god. They could not afford to split their attention.

"Don't worry, I'll send him packing if he comes," Moran Dongning smiled. "I'm a spacetime traveler now, he's no match for me."

Moran Xutong reeled with surprise. "A, a spacetime traveler?!"

Moran Dongning nodded nonchalantly and turned to Lu Yun. "This mask is called the 'Master of Darkness' and holds sway over all beings in the darkness. The Morans cultivate the dao of darkness, so they are part of this group."

"I see," Lu Yun nodded.

"No, you don't," Moran Dongning corrected solemnly. "Whoever holds this mask can rule over all of the endarkened. This has been the Moran ambition all this time.

"The darkness that once invaded your home is nothing compared to the true land of darkness. The Morans can also be enslaved by this mask, just as they can take it to the gloom and enslave everything there!"

Lu Yun's heart skipped a beat from the ramifications.
