Chapter 551: Hell’s Descent (I) (2/2)

“Wait a moment!” Tan Wan said suddenly.

Long Haochen turned round, “Is Captain Tan Wan calling for me?”

Tan Wan nodded, her look becoming very sharp, “Before Provisional Saint Knight Head returns to the Tombal Mountain Pass, would it be possible to ask for your guidance, to compare notes with me?”

“I will be comparing notes with you.” Without waiting for Long Haochen to start to talk, Cai’er became unable to bear it. A tyrannical burst of killing intent swept out from her. Long Haochen could keep enduring, but she couldn’t. If someone remained so overbearing, Cai’er had to break out in rage sooner or later.

In front of the killing intent discharged by Cai’er, the expression on the faces of the crowd of mages immediately changed. Outside of Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan, all of them dropped to the ground and only barely managed to resist the onslaught of her killing intent by hurriedly stimulating their spiritual energy.

Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan also looked perturbed. Xuanyuan Yan had seen before how Cai’er cut the seal open, and was better off, but Tan Wan was in great shock.

The killing intent from Cai’er congealed, tyrannical beyond compare. Before she put it to use, not the slightest bit of it was allowed to leak out. That required a considerable level of training and cultivation!

Long Haochen pressed on Cai’er’s shoulder, “Forget about it. The Six Great Temples are the same family. Our strength should be focused on the enemy and not for inner battles. Let’s go.” Saying that, he pulled Cai’er to turn around and go down from the fortress.

Li Xin gave Tan Wan a profound glance, and followed Long Haochen’s crew out.

Lin Xin couldn’t help but clench his fist, looking at Tan Wan with ferocity.

Aside, Xuanyuan Yan sneered, “Lin Xin, don’t let such matters happen again. Otherwise, we will accuse you of misconduct.”

“Get out of here, is this some place for you to butt in?” Lin Xin’s suppressed rage was almost instantly set to flames. He was unable to find a way out against Tan Wan, but Xuanyuan Yan didn’t make him afraid in the slightest.

“You...” Xuanyuan Yan didn’t have a good temperament either, and became angry at Lin Xin. Pointing with the white staff in his hand he formed an arrow of light and shot it at Lin Xin.

Lin Xin had a look of disdain. His eyes twinkled with blue light, and his body immediately undulated with watery ripples. At two meters distance, that light arrow was directly decomposed, and immediately, a sharp phoenix cry ascended above Lin Xin. A vigorous blue fire burst forth from his body, rising into the surrounding air. Above Lin Xin condensed a phoenix’s shape, facing Xuanyuan Yan. His eyes were also bursting out with surly killing intent, already full of murderous spirit.

“Enough, stop.” Tan Wan shouted in anger, standing in the middle of the two before turning towards Xuanyuan Yan, “We are going.” Saying that, she turned around and left.

Neither Xuanyuan Yan nor Lin Xin could respond to Tan Wan. As Tan Wan looked deeply at the flames rising around Lin Xin, his eyes twinkled with anger. After snorting, he turned around and left.

The blue flames slowly vanished, as Lin Xin hatefully slapped at the air, as the flames scattered in all direction.

On the other side, Li Xin was following them away, “Haochen.”

“I’m alright sis.” Long Haochen naturally understood that Li Xin wanted to console him.

Li Xin sigh then said, “Speaking of which, things have been made quite difficult for Lin Xin. His contradiction with Tan Wan and Xuanyuan Yan is greatly related to me.”

“Hm?” Long Haochen had a quite curious look, “I found Lin Xin quite respectful towards Tan Wan, but she still insisted on criticizing him.”

Just two days ago, Long Haochen had met with the head Li Zhengzhi as the Provisional Saint Knight Head from the Knight Temple. Even with Tan Wan’s identity in the Mage Temple, there’s no way she should be so impolite towards him. Long Haochen took notice before that when Tan Wan was speaking to them, her gaze was focused on Lin Xin from beginning to end. That rage seemed clearly related to Lin Xin. They only seemed to have been targets on whom her anger was to be taken out.

Li Xin replied, “This matter was born from a misunderstanding. When he was young,, Lin Xin used to live in the Tombal Mountain Pass, and Tan Wan was a few years older. He used to always call her Miss Wanzi, and since she was young, she’s always taken good care of him and treated him well. Lin Xin having lost his parents very young, he became very fondly attached to Tan Wan. But these two had a gap in age and Lin Xin had vowed not to use magic for attacks. Though Tan Wan repeatedly tried to convince him, he still remained unwavering in his oath.”
