The crimson glow of the setting sun enveloped the Eastsea coast.
Standing on the shoreline, Chen Jiuzhou waited with the experts from China anxiously.
"Do you think Moryana will win, Hall Master Chen? I heard Japan's Moon God is a reincarnated god realm master, so she's extremely powerful. I wonder if Moryana will win," one of Chen Jiuzhou's subordinates said with worry.
A grim expression was set on Chen Jiuzhou's countenance.
While he was confident in his master, Tsukuyomi was the mightiest god in Japan and a famous expert in history.
Moon God's power might've been restricted due to her reincarnated body, but she had lived for over a thousand years.
Her battle experience and tactics were unmatched by anyone alive.
Chen Jiuzhou was worried his master would be at a disadvantage.
Right before the sun dipped into the horizon completely, they saw someone walking toward them on the sea.
The figure cast a long shadow on the ocean before the setting sun.
"This is..." Chen Jiuzhou and the experts from War God Castle held their breaths the instant they saw that person.
They didn't know who was approaching them. Was it Moon God or Moryana?
"It's Moryana! Yes! It's Moryana, Hall Master Chen!" the crowd on the shoreline cheered as relief flooded their hearts.
Chen Jiuzhou's bleak expression was promptly replaced with a smile as his worries were put at ease. Looks like my master got the last laugh after all.
"Congratulations, Master. Chu Tianfan is dead, and Tsukuyomi from Japan has perished. There's no one else on this continent who can be your opponent. China's martial arts world will be the absolute overlord of this land!" As he spoke, he presented a bouquet to Moryana.
Looking pale, Moryana glanced at Chen Jiuzhou and the others.
Instead of accepting their congratulations and the flowers, she spat, "You all should be spending this time on better things. I've removed the last obstacle, so there should be no more trouble with Dragon Gate Project anymore."
Chen Jiuzhou replied, "Are you saying we should give it our all to expedite Dragon Gate Project and finish nurturing the experts on time?"
Moryana nodded. "Yes. I'll be going into seclusion for a while. Don't bother me unless it's something important."
She then immediately returned to Mount Yan.
By the time she arrived at her residence at Mount Yan, it was already midnight.
Moonlight shone into her room as she shut the door tight.
Right after she entered the room, she tried to drink a glass of water.
However, before she could, her body trembled, and she vomited blood.
"Are you hurt?" Suddenly, a deep voice traveled from the dark depths of her room into her ear.
Promptly, Moryana raised her head and saw a shadowy figure in the darkness.
The figure cast a shadow, standing under the lunar glow.
Moryana was startled, but when she saw who it was, she greeted politely, "You're here, Master."
"Mm." The man in a red robe stepped toward her and patted her head. "It must've been difficult for you this time."
She shook her head and kneeled on the ground. "Don't say that, Master. It is I who's too weak, and I made you worry. I would've failed this mission if you hadn't aided me at that critical moment."
If her master hadn't participated in the battle at Eastsea at the crucial moment, she wouldn't have been able to turn the tide and defeat Moon God.
