Chapter 1105

: The Dark Wing Tribe’s Discussion Concerning An Lin
The Moonlit Night Monarch’s words echoed through the Dark Wing Emperor’s head.
He was finally looking forward to hearing some good news, but the news that was delivered to him almost made him throw up a mouthful of blood.

You’re aborting the mission? Why, Moonlit Night Monarch?
The Dark Wing Emperor asked with a quizzical expression.
The Moonlit Night Monarch threw a stack of information to the Dark Wing Emperor before replying with a clipped response,
I don’t want to die.

Dark Wing Emperor:
…

He carefully read through the information the Moonlit Night Monarch had gathered, and he slowly became even more depressed…
The final part of the information provided by the Moonlit Night Monarch comprised of her evaluation.

An Lin’s normal power level prior to unleashing his mysterious power is around the Return to Void Final Stage.

In order to kill An Lin, we will require two mighty figures at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage, one of whom will have to act as cannon fodder.

The Dark Wing Emperor stared at the information and analysis presented to him, and he couldn’t find a single point to rebut on.

Four years… It has only been four years!

The Dark Wing Emperor’s hands trembled as he spoke.

I haven’t underestimated my enemies in the slightest. I deployed a Return to Void Stage Monarch right from the very beginning! But why… why have I still lost in the end?

He was feeling extremely crushed. Why was there nothing going his way?
The Moonlit Night Monarch provided words of consolation as she said,
You’re not to blame for this. An Lin really is far too uncanny. His rate of progression is completely inconceivable, and he has that special trump card power within his body that he can summon under dire circumstances…

I really can’t complete this mission. I’m willing to take any punishment.

The Moonlit Night Monarch expressed her decision again. Her personality was quite casual and nonchalant, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t have any opinions. On the contrary, if she made a decision on something, it would be very difficult to convince her otherwise.
The Dark Wing Emperor’s chest constricted.
He had prayed to the moon and the stars that the Moonlit Night Monarch would slay An Lin and recover the Evil-Slaying Sword. Yet she gave up on the mission a few years later by citing a fear of death as her reason for aborting the mission! Furthermore, An Lin had become some unfathomably powerful BOSS!
What the fck?!
What a massive headache!
The Dark Wing Emperor felt like he had not only been bullied by the Black Spirit Snake, but also by a mere child like An Lin! This was not a bitter pill he could swallow!

Gather all of the monarchs!
the Dark Wing Emperor roared.
Eleven carved symbols lit up on the wall of his castle.
This meant that the Dark Wing Tribe had a total of eleven Return to Void Final Stage monarchs!
That’s right, there were as many as eleven monarchs that had attained the power of the divine dao!
All of the powerful monarchs heeded the emperor’s call and tore through space to arrive at the castle.
Soon, eleven Return to Void Final Stage mighty figures were gathered at the palace.
Among all of the monarchs, the Moonlit Night Monarch could be ranked at about second or third in terms of power level. Furthermore, all of the monarchs here should theoretically possess the power to kill An Lin.
The Dark Wing Emperor distributed the Moonlit Night Monarch’s findings for all of the other monarchs to read.
All of the other monarchs were initially quite puzzled, but they soon realized why they had been summoned here upon reading through the findings…
One of the handsome male monarchs present wore an expression of relief and lingering fear after reading through the findings, as if he had escaped some sort of dire situation.

The Moonlit Night Monarch has decided to give up on the mission to kill An Lin and recover the Evil-Slaying Sword. Which one of you is willing to take on this mission?
the Dark Wing Emperor asked.
His words drew cries of surprise from all of the monarchs.
The Moonlit Night Monarch had never failed in a mission before, but she was giving up on a mission now?!
The handsome man among them was struck by an almost irrepressible urge to applaud, as if he had found a comrade. He was the Starry Night Monarch, who had accepted this mission first before also giving up on it!
As a result of giving up on the mission, the Starry Night Monarch received the punishment of supplying power to the Heart of Darkness for one hundred years. However, he did not regret his decision in the slightest.
He had finally managed to sneak away from the Heart of Darkness in order to heed the emperor’s call, and he was full of praise and approval for the Moonlit Night Monarch upon learning of her decision to abort the mission.
Sure enough, he was not the only one who valued his life here!
The Dark Wing Emperor’s words reverberated through the entire palace, but it was met with silence from the monarchs.

Emperor, you’ve seen the Moonlit Night Monarch’s findings as well. This is nothing but a suicide mission!
One of the monarchs with a short fuse broke the silence first.

Exactly! Where are we going to find a Return to Void Final Stage cannon fodder? Mighty figures of that level all value their lives above all else. Who’s going to be stupid enough to die for this cause?
another monarch chimed in.

Could it be that the emperor is telling us to form teams of two, one of which will be responsible for killing An Lin while the other has to sacrifice themselves?


What a cruel emperor!

Dark Wing Emperor:
…


This is definitely a suicide mission! I remember you telling us that we should value our lives! We’ve been living by your words this entire time! Have you forgotten, Emperor?
another monarch spoke in a distressed voice.
Thus, all of the monarchs engaged in a spirited and heated discussion, following which all of them came to a single unanimous conclusion—
This mission is too dangerous, we refuse to take it!

The Dark Wing Emperor felt like he was on the verge of breaking down.
Who told you someone had to die for this mission? There may be another way! Can’t you all use your brains and think?!

Use our brains and think? Another round of spirited and heated discussion ensued.
After using their brains, all of the monarchs came to a consensus that the Moonlit Night Monarch’s findings were irrefutable…
Dark Wing Emperor:
…

Right at this moment, the Moonlit Night Monarch suddenly bowed slightly.
I have a suggestion.

The Dark Wing Emperor’s thunderous expression eased slightly.
Go on.


The mysterious power within An Lin’s body will only be triggered when he is faced with a life-threatening situation and is on the brink of death. As long as we don’t push him to such a dire situation, we should be safe.

The Moonlit Night Monarch’s voice flowed like gentle creek into everyone’s heart.
The Dark Wing Emperor’s expression shifted.
So you’re saying…


We take the sword but leave him alive!
the Moonlit Night Monarch said with a slow voice.

That’s…
The Dark Wing Emperor’s eyes lit up, but his brows immediately furrowed again.
Are we not going to avenge the Dark Night Monarch then?

The Moonlit Night Monarch replied in a level voice,
That’s up to you to decide whether avenging the Dark Night Monarch is more important or whether recovering the Evil-Slaying Sword is more important. If the mission is only to recover the sword, then I would be happy to take it again.

A conflicted expression appeared on the Dark Wing Emperor’s face before a faint sigh escaped from between his lips.
So be it. We’ll recover the sword and leave him alive. The reward for the mission remains unchanged, and I’ll assign the mission to Moonlit Night again. I hope you won’t disappoint me!

All of the monarchs’ hearts jolted upon hearing this, and they all cast envious glances toward the Moonlit Night Monarch.
If the mission was only to recover the sword, then it would be significantly less difficult! One had to realize that the reward for completing the mission was a divine fruit and the Dao Bearing Light!
What a huge reward!
Some of the other monarchs were already struck by the urge to try and take the mission from the Moonlit Night Monarch!

Thank you for your trust, Emperor.

The Moonlit Night extended a grateful salute with an expression that was just as nonchalant as ever.
She made her way out of the palace and slowly disappeared into the night.
The Dark Wing Emperor glowered at the remaining ten monarchs.
Meeting dismissed!
