Forsaken Immortals

Chapter 136 - Traitor

This beast was a divine beast. Back on the Wushi Continent, no one dared to tame a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, as it would cause the dragon clan to view one with absolute hatred.

Not to mention, taming a beast was not easy. Most beasts with a strong mentality would choose death rather than submission, and it was especially so for dragons, qilins, and phoenixes.

This man had already overthrown his impression of what was possible for one’s cultivation. Now he was also making him understand that it was even possible to tame a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.

Although it was a baby, these beasts had a prideful nature, and it was impossible to submit to someone just because they were newborn.

Narrowing his eyes, Bai Mulan began wondering what kind of person Bai Rouyun had married.

He was from the prison continent, but his cultivation speed and talent did not pale in comparison with even the geniuses from the Wushi Continent. He was stuck in a place that was bound by a multitude of formations, but he had managed to contract with a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, which should not even have appeared here.

His luck was outstanding, and so was his talent. Was he truly from this continent?

He had looked up on Li Moyun’s background, and everything seemed clean. He was born of a less-liked concubine, and had to fight for all that he had achieved today.

He was also the man behind the Eternal Shadow Palace, and while it was hard to find this piece of information, it did not shock Bai Mulan.

At that point, he had not considered the Eternal Shadow Palace’s place in the prison continent. He had forgotten that the man behind the scenes was an Innate Realm, Violet Tier expert, so he had not thought it too outstanding.

But now that he was looking at Li Moyun, he realized that he had been too uptight, and not really considered the person who was in front of him.

But looking at the fact that his cultivation base was rather outstanding, and that he had tamed a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, Bai Mulan had to admit that he was quite the catch.

It seemed that the daughter of their Bai family still had quite good taste.

Bai Rouyun was unaware of what Bai Mulan was thinking. If she knew, she would snort and roll her eyes. Of course she had good taste!

There was an awkward silence as no one spoke. Bai Mulan was busy looking at Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun, and the more he looked, the more pleased he became.

This man would be a good son-in-law for the Bai family. Even if he did not have a family backing him, what truly mattered was one’s talent and personal strength.

If he went to the Wushi Continent when he reached the Ascended Realm, then he would be able to make a name for himself. By the time Bai Rouyun had gotten strong enough to leave the prison continent, their Bai family would welcome their union with open arms and great fanfare.

Li Moyun could sense that when Bai Mulan had looked upon him at the start, his eyes had been full of disdain and mockery, but now there was even a bit of respect in them.

He knew that what caused this change was his strength and talent, but he was not flattered by the man’s change in attitude.

Bai Rouyun had already made it clear that she had no interest in accepting the Bai family as things were now, so the thoughts that this family had on him did not matter.

The stalemate continued while the three of them observed each other. Many people present were staring at them and gossiping, wondering what was happening.

Everyone knew that Bai Mulan was a teacher at the Blue Water Institute, and while he was teaching the lowly class twenty, he was one of the few teachers one should not mess around with.

He had never given anyone face, and no one understood why he was in the institute at all.

Currently, he looked as if he had swallowed a fly. His facial expression was ugly, and his brows were furrowed.

Everyone who observed the three of them was under the impression that Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun had insulted him.

Just as his brow was so tightly furrowed that it could hold a coin without dropping, another voice was heard from behind them.

"Li Moyun, you traitor! How dare you show up here when you should be stationed at the battlefield?!"

Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun did not have to turn around to know that the Crown Prince had hurried over.

His face was full of gloating. The words he said were serious, and his eyes were full of exhilaration, but when he met the indifferent eyes of Li Moyun, he suddenly began feeling scared.

He had always feared Li Moyun, but he refused to admit it. He had even convinced himself that what he felt towards Li Moyun was nothing more than rivalry, and that he was only worried that this brother of his would steal the title of Crown Prince from him.

Bai Rouyun glanced at the Crown Prince and saw him take a step back in a fearful manner, and she could not help but feel slightly disgusted by this man.

He was the one who came to pick a fight, but Li Moyun had not even said anything. He merely sent a glance over, and he had already retreated.

"The war will be won in a day or two," Li Moyun said casually, but with such conviction that no one could doubt him.

"I have no reason to stay, as I have given one of my trusted aides the task of finishing up the battle for me."
