Dragon Tamer - Chapter 1281: 1285: The Fleeing Red Sun

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1285: The Fleeing Red Sun

Zhu Minglang, amidst such cosmic disturbances, raised one of his hands, and the Sun’s red sundial plummeted from the azure sky into his palm, ultimately transforming into the Red Crystal Sword!

“I shall send you off as well,” Zhu Minglang said with an even more brilliant smile. As he swung down his hand, sword flames swept across the nine provinces, turning the frigid winter of Jiaoxiu into a scorching summer. Had the Sword Spirit Dragon not intentionally restrained its divine power of the Yang, the entire nine provinces might have been set ablaze!!!

“No no no no, no no no no, no no no…” Bright Moon God Bin Chou shrieked in mad howls, filled with immense regret and frustration.

He and the vast Bright Moon Immortal Army behind him rapidly melted away in the face of this sword strike. Even the most powerful gods of starlight and moon radiance were no different from the snow and ice that had previously enveloped the mountains and rivers!

In the blink of an eye…

Bright Moon God Bin Chou would never have imagined that he, a distinguished Moon Radiance God who emerged from among the multitude of deities and ascended to Moon God, would ultimately perish due to such avarice!

The Great Immortal Zhu Ming had even spared him.

Yet he had not spared himself!

From then on, Jun Tian would be short of one rotational Moon God, and on the waxing crescent third of the lunar month, the skies would be speckled with stars, devoid of competing moonlight’s beauty!

…

The abnormal celestial event naturally alarmed the many Moon Radiance Gods of Jiaoxiu Sky City.

The Heroic Moon Xian was the first to appear in the vaporized territory of Bright Moon, and soon after, the White-haired Moon Radiance God Fan Zhong also arrived.

In the distance, numerous highly cultivated deities emerged. They were the rulers of Jiaoxiu Sky City, yet upon witnessing such a scene left behind, none dared to approach. They could only watch from afar, their hearts surging with unexplainable fear and shock!

The Bright Moon God and his Immortal Army had just evaporated from the mortal realm!

What kind of power could obliterate a deity who governed the moon in Jiaoxiu Sky City!

And what exactly had the Bright Moon God done to bring about such a calamity?

It was inexplicable, incomprehensible, and at least the combined deities of Jiaoxiu Sky City couldn’t provide the truth or the answer to this event.

However, Heroic Moon Xian’s face was marked with deep confusion because just last night, the servant guarding her daughter had informed her about the feud between the couple Cao Juan and Lu Kuan and the Bright Moon God, as well as the struggle that took place that night.

But could these two incidents really be connected?

Even if it were a young Dragon Shepherd who took away the Gluttonous Lunar Eclipse Dragon, despite his exceptional talents, he couldn’t possibly have the ability to obliterate a deity of the Moon God Immortal Clan!

Unless, behind him, there was a deity unknown to the world, and that deity might be of the Solar Halo Realm!

“Heroic Moon Xian, how shall we explain this to the Emperor Elders?” White-haired Moon Radiance God Fan Zhong asked.

“Report the truth,” replied Heroic Moon Xian.

“How do we report the truth??” Moon Radiance God Fan Zhong asked, puzzled.

“We know nothing,” Heroic Moon Xian answered.

…

In the Jun Tian Sky Capital, two of the Five Directions Emperors are absent.

Three Emperors look up at the azure sky, remaining silent.

It is Green Kirin’s turn for the rotating duty, but their worries are not about Green Kirin.

“It’s been quite a few days; after its duty rotation ended, it hasn’t returned. What do you two make of this?” The duty of overseeing falls upon the Five Directions Emperors in rotation, and the duty of this year is presided over by the Eastern Emperor.

“It was born out of nowhere, initially thought to be a calamity for our Jun Tian, bringing disaster to living beings. If it weren’t for Qin Immortal Child discovering it actually possessed human-like intelligence and spiritual wisdom, avoiding a terrible battle… It was Qin Immortal Child who persuaded it to take the rotating duty as the sun, bringing benefits to our Horizon of Juntian. It seems that this matter can only be entrusted to Qin Immortal Child for resolution. Next year’s summer and autumn seasons can’t possibly go without the sun’s patrol, right?” said the Eastern Emperor.

“Don’t you find it strange that for decades, the Red Crystal Sword has maintained perfect seasonal duty cycles, returning accurately to the minute and second to its Solar Altar after its rotation? Why not this time? How is this year different from the past several decades, and where has the Red Crystal Sword gone? Is it weary, or has it developed other intentions…” the Western Emperor harbored many doubts.

“Perhaps our concerns are pointless. Next season of next year, it will return punctually, still the Red Crystal Sword in the sky that brings spiritual energy to all creatures.”

“Next year… next year… Regardless, by next year’s seasonal change, we must recover the Red Crystal Sword!”

“Yes!”

Soon after, a woman in flowing robes, with a vertical harp faintly visible behind her, strides forward swiftly.

She slowly bows her head, her gaze fixed on the Eastern Emperor, her eyes revealing a bit of confusion: “Has the Red Crystal Sword truly not returned?”

“Hmph, such a significant matter has occurred, yet your appearance was so delayed. If the Red Crystal Sword ran off to play in the mortal realms, bringing disaster to living beings, you cannot be absolved of blame!” scolded the Western Emperor.

“Qin Immortal Child, when you used the sound of the harp to move the Red Crystal Sword, and to enlist it as today’s rotating sun, did you ever anticipate such a sudden change as this?” the Eastern Emperor asked.

“In fact, the Red Crystal Sword has been more stable and serene than I imagined, only now showing this slight anomaly after nearly thirty years of rotation, surpassing the unruly Golden Crow, the faintly shining Green Kirin, and the arrogant and violent Bi Huang…” Qin Immortal Child said.

“That is the truth indeed, but neither Golden Crow, Green Kirin, nor Bi Huang have ever disappeared without a trace or greeting,” said the Eastern Emperor.

“I will take full responsibility for this matter and will not allow the celestial order of sun and moon to be disturbed,” Qin Immortal Child said.

“We have already sent people to track down the Red Crystal Sword,” the Western Emperor said.

“Given the strength of the Red Crystal Sword, well understood by all, I ask the three Emperors to grant me some time to manage this, and refrain from using overly forceful measures.”

“What worries us most is the Red Crystal Sword as an Artifact Spirit becoming a dragon, with an immature and unsteady mind, easily misled and manipulated by the evil emperor Xie Cang. If such a thing were to happen, the disaster it could bring upon our Jun Tian is unfathomable!” the Western Emperor continued.

“Qin Immortal Child, you too should set off now to search for the Red Crystal Sword. If you can bring it back safely, as if nothing had happened. Western Elder, let your people continue the tracking; if you detect any ominous signs, please take extraordinary measures.”

“Eastern Emperor!” Qin Immortal Child called out loudly.

“Qin Immortal Child, the dereliction of the rotating sun is a very serious matter. I’ve allowed for repairing the slip only out of leniency and kindness. You should know, in Jun Tian we have faced rebellion against the sun before, and we have not hesitated to slaughter the sun!” The Eastern Emperor in charge of the duty spoke very sternly.

“Yes…” Qin Immortal Child nodded in agreement, not daring to say more.

“One year… Oh, no, nine months. In nine months’ time, we hope everything will be as usual,” the Eastern Emperor said.

“By your command.”
