I alone am the Honoured One!

"Lady Hanyue...."

Lan Shuqin hurriedly ran through the hallways, her footsteps echoing against the polished marble.

*creek* Reaching Zhou Hanyue's room, she didn't bother to knock and hurriedly pushed the door open, entering "Lady Hanyue..."

Zhou Hanyue, who was seated on an elegant couch with a book resting on her lap, raised her gaze in mild surprise to see panicked Lan Shuqin.

She frowned slightly, placing a silken bookmark between the pages before setting the book down on the table beside her.

"What happened, Shuqin? Did that guy do something?"

Something inside her instinctively linked any form of chaos to that man. After all, ever since he entered her life, nothing had been the same. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Lan Shuqin quickly shook her head, hands gripping the hem of her robes as she stepped closer. "No, Lady Hanyue… it's far worse than that. The Jade Eclipse Sect is under attack by vampires."

Huh? Zhou Hanyue raised an eyebrow in surprise "By vampires?"

Nodding her head, Lan Shuqin hastily spoke, "Yeah... I heard it's a full-scale invasion and there is a large battle going on in the Sect... Everyone is fighting. Disciples, Elders and Wing masters... everyone."

"The Emperor also has sent forces from here to help."

This wasn't just an isolated attack on a single sect... this was a power move. A strategic assault against one of the most powerful factions in the realm.

Zhou Hanyue felt a genuine sense of unease creeping into her chest.

The Jade Eclipse Sect was one of the strongest factions in the cluster of High stars, if even the Wing Masters were forced into battle, then this wasn't a simple act of aggression. It was a deliberate, calculated move.

As she realized the extent of the situation, Zhou Hanyue's eyes widened slightly "Where is Zhao Tian?"

Lan Shuqin hesitated. That single second of hesitation made Zhou Hanyue's heart lurch.

Shaking her head, Lan Shuqin replied "He is not h-here... He must be in the Sect."

Zhou Hanyue's eyes trembled as she thought of her curse "N-No... what if something happens to him?"

However, at this time, suddenly the atmosphere's color shifted.

The white sunrays that poured into the room through the windows suddenly changed to crimson.

The once clear afternoon sky was now washed in blood-red hues, casting eerie shadows across the polished floors and reflecting off the glass of the ornate furnishings in the room.

Huh? Zhou Hanyue and Lan Shuqin looked around in surprise "What is this..."

Zhou Hanyue had a bad premonition in her heart and she hurriedly stood up, walking out of the room.

Rushing to the balcony, she raised her head to look at the sky just as a gust of wind rushed against her.

...and what she saw outside made her breath catch in her throat.

The skies had been torn apart.

Three massive crimson portals swirled violently in the air above the palace, their pulsating energy distorting the air.

Crimson lightning crackled along their edges, and from within their depths, something was emerging.

Two enormous war arks descended through the rifts, their sheer size casting massive shadows over the palace.

A deep, resonating hum echoed across the city, reverberating through the very air, making the stone foundations tremble.

Zhou Hanyue clenched her fists as her eyes glanced at the decks of the arks, where dark silhouettes stood in perfect formation.

The Vampires' eyes gleamed in crimson, piercing through the red mist that surrounded the warships.

Lan Shuqin stumbled back slightly, gripping the balcony railing as her breath came in uneven gasps. "L-Lady Hanyue… this isn't just an invasion of the Sect, is it?"

Zhou Hanyue exhaled slowly, forcing herself to push down the wave of unease threatening to rise within her.

'What is going to happen...'

...

Selena who was floating high in the air, smiled seeing her little sister's fight "Seems like she is having fun..."

"How about we have some fun?"

Hearing a voice, she turned her head and looked at the beautiful woman with long white hair, a white veil hiding half of her face, revealing her heterochrome green and blue eyes.

"Yan Zijin..." Selena muttered under her breath.

Yan Zijin's gaze flickered to the left and saw Velnorah and Zhao Tian fighting against Elvoria.

Her calm gaze narrowed slightly as she watched the crimson energy swirling around Velnorah's scythe, the way her blood coalesced into deadly blades, and the unmistakable vampiric essence in her movements.

"I see, she was a vampire..."

Selena, noticing her line of sight, chuckled softly "Oh yeah, she was hiding things from you..."

"She was a spy sent to the Jade Eclipse sect by us... but seems like she has betrayed us now."

With a faint nod, Yan Zijin replied "I can see that..."

Selna smiled faintly "And the reason you came all the way to meet me in this chaos...?"

Yan Zijin glanced around at the battlefield where the disciples, elders, and other wing masters were fighting.

"Right now, in this battlefield... you are the most dangerous one, so I came to take care of you, myself."

Hearing this, Selena grinned "How honored I am to get targeted by... the strongest Wing Master in Jade Eclipse Sect."

Yan Zijin just stayed silent hearing her taunt and Selena's smile deepened.

And in the next instant, she vanished-

BOOM!

A shockwave exploded through the sky as Selena reappeared behind Yan Zijin as her hand outstretched and claws of blood extended from her fingertips, aiming for the back of her neck.

SHHHK!

Yan Zijin's body flickered, leaving an afterimage.

Before Selena could react, Yan Zijin was suddenly above her, a streak of white light flashing downward as her hand chopped through the air, aiming directly at Selena's skull.

Selena's eyes flashed in amusement, and she twisted mid-air as she disappeared like mist, evading the blow by a hair's breadth.

Swoosh!

Yan Zijin's attack tore through the mist, dissipating it, but Selena had already reformed a few meters away, licking her lips in delight.

"Not bad," Selena admitted, rolling her shoulders.

"Your speed is absurd."

Yan Zijin let out a soft sigh, "That blood mist, only used by royal vampires.. can be quite annoying sometimes."

Selena's grin widened. "Hoh, seems like you know some stuff..."

...

Meanwhile, at the same time, Yao Jing was dashing through the chaos searching for someone "Where is my Tian?"
