"Put down your weapons, put your hands behind your head, and squat down!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Laser guns fell to the ground, and the blue-hooded men all crouched down, hands over their heads. They surrounded Lan Jue and the others. The passersby of Luna City gaped at the spectacle, unsure of what was going on.
"Guoguo, you're acting like a tsundere again," Lan Jue said, a little exasperated.
"Who told them to point their guns at the boss?!" Lin Guo-guo's face twisted in anger.
Kerr giggled. "Well done, Guoguo. You're one step ahead of me."
Lan Jue looked gloomily into the depths of the Moonfiend Palace. "I didn't want to cause too much of a ruckus."
An ear-piercing alarm blared through the air. Metal cannons popped out from the top of the Moondemon Palace's entrance, and several verti-cars sped towards them from all around Moonlight City.
Ke 'er's eyebrows shot up in surprise. She was about to make a move, but Lan Jue's hand pressed down on her shoulder. A powerful blue light burst forth from Lan Jue, enveloping him and the three women.
The blue light flashed, and he vanished into thin air.
Several Moonfiend Pirate patrol cars arrived at the scene in a flash. The blue-hooded men who'd been crouching on the ground had just woken up, but they didn't know what was going on.
By the time they pulled up the video feed, Lan Jue and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Through the distorted blue light, they watched as a rainbow of colors flew past them.
Ke Er exclaimed, "Boss, your electric teleportation seems to be even more powerful!
Haven't you been dispirited for three years? "
Lin Guo-guo nudged Kerr.
Mika tried to stifle a laugh. "Our Kerr is just that straightforward."
Lan Jue rapped Mika on the head. "You talk too much."
Mika stuck out his tongue. "Boss, you're biased!"
Blue light flashed, and the rainbow around them disappeared. In its place was a clear view. They'd arrived at the castle they'd seen before.
"Who are you?"
The two silver-hooded men guarding the door were stunned when they saw the sudden appearance of the four figures in the blue light. Then, their bodies emitted a strong light and they were about to rush over.
Lan Jue lifted his hand, and in a flash of blue light, the two silver-hooded men collapsed to the floor.
"Little Yue, come and pick me up." Five simple words spread out in a layer of faint blue halo towards the castle.
Lightning was light. Using the speed of light to transmit sound was definitely better than using a loudspeaker.
A buzzing sound filled the Moonfiend Palace. Suddenly, a golden figure appeared before the four of them.
"Who are you?"
It was a young woman dressed in a golden hood. She looked no older than eighteen or nineteen, but her expression was solemn.
Her arms were spread out to either side of her body. Strangely, a pair of wings sprouted from her back. They were erect, and glowed with a pure white light.
In her right hand was an ancient bronze longsword.
There was no aura of power about her.
Lan Jue looked at the young woman with interest. "I don't think I've seen you before. You must've joined the Moonfiend Pirates a few years ago.
What's your Discipline? "
"Hmph!"
The young girl snorted coldly and suddenly raised the ancient longsword in her hand. A strange scene appeared. Around the pair of wings on her back, many white dots of light appeared and condensed in the direction of the wings.
The longsword in her hand glowed with an incandescent light, and a holy aura sprang up around it.
A powerful wave of energy engulfed Lan Jue and the others.
"Angel Shift? Acquired Awakening?
You're an Angel of the Pontiff's Citadel? "Lan Jue stared at the young woman in surprise.
The young woman paused for a moment, then a murderous light flashed in her eyes.
The tip of her foot touched the ground, and in a flash she was headed straight for Lan Jue. Her longsword was like a bolt of white lightning.
"Luo Shang, stay your hand!"
A commanding voice called out. Unfortunately, it was too late. The white light was already upon Lan Jue.
"Hmph!" Lin Guoguo let out a cold snort. Her pair of pale green eyes suddenly turned golden.
The golden-hooded woman's body trembled, and she stopped in midair. Lan Jue flung a ball of orange fire from his side. It was like a shroud of orange light that shielded him from Lan Jue.
The white light and the fire collided, but neither could overpower the other. The young woman in the golden hood was already flying back, her wings spread wide, and she hovered in the air.
A figure descended from the sky. She was dressed in a long black dress and had a slender figure. Her black hair was draped over her back, reaching her calves. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her light red eyes were the only color on her body. When she landed, she naturally became the focus of the crowd.
A horde of silver-hooded men poured out of the Moonfiend Palace, accompanied by two other golden-hooded men. When one of them saw Lan Jue, he trembled, and fear flashed in his eyes.
"Empress." The golden-hooded woman called out to the woman in black.
"Luo Shang, leave this to me."
The woman in black's voice was cold, and her face was as cold as ice. Her pale red eyes were filled with authority, and the air around them seemed to grow heavy.
"Yes, Empress." Luo Shang retreated behind the woman and stood with the other two golden-hooded men.
The woman in black slowly approached Lan Jue. The oppressive aura emanating from her grew stronger and stronger.
She only stopped when she was five meters away from Lan Jue.
In the next moment, the iciness on her face melted like a spring breeze. A seductive smile appeared on her face, but it was tinged with rebuke. "Why are you bullying me?"
Lan Jue smiled. "Long time no see, Little Yue.
I don't want to be like this.
However, the Moon City communication code you gave me last time has expired. "
The Moonfiend Empress approached Lan Jue. "It's been so long. Why haven't you come to see me?" She reached out to grab Lan Jue's arm as she spoke.
The high-ranking members of the Moonfiend Pirates were all dumbfounded by what they saw.
Since when had their noble and cold Empress become like this?
"Don't get so close!" Mika stepped in front of the Moonfiend Empress.
The Moonfiend Empress frowned. "Mika, you're still so annoying!"
Mika pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and shook his head. His red hair, which had been coiled into a bun, fell to the ground. As it fell, the roots of his hair turned a dark red.
A terrifying aura burst forth, and all the silver-hooded men took a step back.
That monstrous aura was no less than the Moonfiend Empress'.
Zeus's Four Maidens, the Infernal Enchantress!
