“Okay.” Fire Qilin nodded as it stamped its ma.s.sive claws against the ground, sending the clouds billowing. Complicated markings started to appear around Baili Jia Jue and Helian Wei Wei, and those markings took the shape of a pentagon star with Helian Wei Wei standing right in the middle of it.
As dawn broke, the first slither of early light peeked over the skyline and struck on Helian Wei Wei. The light converged at a speed which was clearly visible even to the naked eye. It had Helian Wei Wei wrapped within it like a coc.o.o.n before losing its glow and warmth gradually.
Only G.o.d knew how many hours had slipped by the time Helian Wei Wei opened her eyes abruptly.
The scene before her had changed completely, and she felt nothing but harsh and piercing cold.
Ordinary was the last thing Helian Wei Wei had expected from the place that she was heading to. But she had never seen anything like this before, especially when she and another two young girls were being held in the mouth of a magical beast right now!
That is a truly unpleasant feeling.
Echoes of gusting wind drummed in her ears as they surged through the plunges and spikes.
Just as Helian Wei Wei was trying to figure her way out, the young girl beside her curled her lips in disgust and said, “His Highness hates timid humans the most. I have no idea why the h.e.l.l the birds picked you up halfway. You’re just slightly fairer, that’s it.”
Helian Wei Wei kept her mouth shut. Keeping absolute silence had always been her way of tackling any unfamiliar situation.
Moreover, she came with a specific intention this time.
“Mind your words, Xiao Kui.” Another young girl tugged at her sleeve. With her little face lifted up and facing Helian Wei Wei, she asked, “You don’t look like one of us from the Exorcist Temple. Where are you from? Why are you beside the altar?”
Helian Wei Wei spoke in a flat tone, “I don’t remember. It turned out like this when I woke up.”
“You must have knocked your head when you fell down the mountain.” The young girl in purple looked at her with mercy in her eyes.
Pressing her forehead unhurriedly, Helian Wei Wei shook her head for a while and said, “I guess so.”
“What a pity.” The young girl in purple expressed her sympathy as if she could not bear it, “No worries, I will take care of you once we reach the Pandemonium.”
For a second Helian Wei Wei’s fingers jerked. Pandemonium?
“Sister Ni, why don’t just let her be?” The young girl in pink lifted her chin with a scornful expression across her pretty face. “It is His Highness who asks you to come over this time. This woman just came out of nowhere, she is just a n.o.body!”
The young girl in purple shot her a warning look. “Xiao Kui, since His Highness is looking for me this time, that’s why I can’t let others get into trouble. You know well about his hidden ruthlessness. As graceful as he may look like most of the time, n.o.body knows what he will do in the next second.”
“But he treats you differently, Sister Ni.” Xiao Kui’s eyes flashed with a tinge of envy, “He really treats you well.”
The young girl in purple stretched her soft lips into a faint smile at first, but obscure shades of dejection seemed to be lingering on her face.
Helian Wei Wei listened to their conversation in a quiet manner while keeping the dagger under her long sleeve well-hidden…
According to what Fire Qilin mentioned, it would send her to where Baili Jia Jue was located.
And since she ended up here, was she going to meet Baili Jia Jue soon if she just followed their plan?
Casting her eyes into the distance, Helian Wei Wei decided to wait for a little bit longer.
Amid the heavy mist were myriad of high-rise rooftops hidden behind the dark clouds sprawling across the sky. It was a prosperous yet gloomy view.
And there it was, a ma.s.sive holy palace standing tall at the foot of a volcano, meandering all the way down to the Solo River. The entire place was beyond the reach of sunlight due to the heavy fog.
Helian Wei Wei could hardly have a clear view of the whole building. What came into her sight was a sea of blooming flowers, flaring like fire across the dark black river that merged into a breathtaking scene.
Furthermore, there were some souls who were unable to go for ascension, hence they were drifting on the river like the rising clouds. At that moment, Helian Wei Wei could not take her eyes off this spectacular phenomenon for she was totally in awe.
Xiao Kui gave a scornful laugh upon seeing this, “Look, Sister Ni, she is such a rube! She hasn’t even seen the Styx River before.”
The Styx River? Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes dangerously. Those eyes were deep, like a fathomless old well. She had read about it from an old book before.
