Chapter 258: Dividing The Troops
Translator: JLEditor: X
The red-dressed girl found the place where the elemental energy waves originated. Surprisingly, it was the same place where she crossed paths with Ai Hui last time. Only then did she realize Ai Hui’s objective of traveling to the tunnel earlier. Walking a few circuits around the location of the gold needle, she was puzzled. However, she was not worried as she knew that she had just arrived in Central Pine City, and there were many things that she was still unaware of.
She walked out of the pit quietly. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the movement of a stone from the ruins not far away.
Yan Hai woke up in a daze, aching all over. He was trapped in the middle of the rubble and surrounded by darkness. Slowly, he tried to recall what had happened. Instantly, he was filled with fury.
That damn Old Lei!
Wait until he returned. He would definitely report this incident!
He exhausted his strength to climb out of the rumble. He was covered in dust and looked disheveled. This was simply too embarrassing. The hatred in his heart intensified. Old Lei was now ranked as an enemy. Yan Hai silently swore to himself that he would get his revenge!
Upon climbing out of the debris, he was met with the glaring sun and had to squint his eyes.
”Blood elementalist?”
A sweet voice sounded from above him.
Yan Hai’s body stiffened. Something was wrong. Out of the 45 blood elementalists, there were five females. However, this was not a familiar voice so it had to belong to an elementalist…
Yan Hai’s heart jolted when he thought that he had fallen into the hands of an elementalist.
Looking foolish with his eyes closed, Yan Hai suddenly spun into action. Making use of both his hands and legs, he quickly shot out.
His actions were as fast as lightning. The average person would not have time to react to his speed.
Yan Hai did not meet with any obstructions for the first 10 meters. He involuntarily released his breath, but did not have the chance to rejoice when his body was suddenly pulled back without the ability to continue rushing forward.
Yan Hai was terror-stricken and turned his head. A bright red silk cloth was wrapped around him like he was a dumpling.
Following this, he felt a tug and flew backward. He fell heavily on the floor. It was a harsh fall and made his head spin.
After a moment, Yan Hai regained some of his wits. Without hesitating, he got on his knees and begged, ”Have mercy on me! Have mercy on me!”
”I like people who know how to adapt to circumstances,” a sweet and languid voice rang across the air.
Yan Hai gathered a few ounces of courage and lifted his head secretly to take a peek. He was dumbfounded by what he saw. The lady in front of him was like someone who came out of a painting. She wore a red dress while looking beautiful and alluring. Her languid and charming aura made his heart speed up involuntarily.
How could there be such a beautiful lady in this world?
Looking at Yan Hai’s dumbstruck expression, the red-dressed girl covered her mouth and laughed lightly.
”Who is your master?”
Her voice was enticing. However, upon hearing the word ”Master,” Yan Hai immediately regained his wits. While he felt dominated by the beauty of the red-dressed girl, his fear toward Tian Kuan was carved deep into his bones.
Yan Hai asked in a trembling voice, ”Who, who are you?”
The red-dressed girl replied while smiling, ”You have no right to ask questions as a captive. If you are unwilling to say, I will just hand you over to the elementalists of Central Pine City. Surely they would give you a hearty welcome.”
Yan Hai’s face paled.
He would rather be killed than fall into the hands of Central Pine City’s elementalists. The elementalists there hated blood elementalists to the core. If they saw a blood elementalist, they would tear him to pieces without a second thought.
When he heard the two words ”hearty welcome,” Yan Hai’s face became even paler.
The hatred between both parties was beyond any point of redemption.
If it came to that day, it would also not be an easy task to simply die.
Hold on!
Yan Hai stammered, ”Fairy, are you a blood elementalist too?”
He rejoiced. That’s right! If the red-dressed girl was an elementalist, she would have killed him long ago.
”I am.” The red-dressed girl smiled and creased her eyebrows. Her expression was adorable as she continued, ”You have yet to answer my question?”
Yan Hai blurted, ”It is Sir Tian Kuan.”
When the words left his mouth, Yan Hai was filled with regret. He did not know what had happened, but it was like he was possessed. He did not think before answering.
”Oh, Tian Kuan.” The red-dressed girl suddenly seemed to see the light. She threw a dazzling smile at Yan Hai. ”We have time to slowly discuss this. I am very interested.”
Her sentence had not yet ended when the red-dressed lady folded up her red sleeves and disappeared along with Yan Hai.
Wang Zhen was very efficient. Along the way, he continuously gathered the younger elementalists. The battle raged in every corner of Central Pine City. At this point, none of the people held any hopes that they would remain unscathed. As a result, this made them more determined when fighting back.
While the blood fiends caused many casualties, this did not kill the people’s morale.
Pretty soon, Wang Zhen gathered a group of elementalists and arrived at the embroidery workshop.
After he explained the plan to the dean and Mingxiu, he was surprised by their answer.
”Mayor, you are very considerate, but my teacher is unable to move.”
Mingxiu bitterly laughed.
”Unable to move?” Wang Zhen stood rooted to the ground. Next to him, the dean was also caught by surprise. It was also the first time he had heard of this news.
”Mistress Han has been meditating since the start of the plan.” Mingxiu’s voice trembled. ”The plan of ‘treating the city as a piece of cloth’ requires the ability of a Grandmaster. Mistress Han is merely a Master and there is still some disparity. Mistress Han has already started meditating and is unaware of the affairs of the world. She has instructed Mingxiu not to disturb her. When the nine specific nodes have been activated, she would naturally awaken.
”Could it be that Master Han is trying to break through the Grandmaster barrier?” The dean turned pale with fright.
”Apart from this, there were no other options.” Mingxiu paused for a moment before she continued, ”Mistress Han knows that there is not much hope. She instructed me to pass on the message to Mayor and Dean that if she fails to break through, she would still complete the task of ‘treating the city as a piece of cloth’”
By the last sentence, Mingxiu’s eyes were red and teary.
