Chapter 250 (2/2)
The Heir stared wordlessly at the sky
Zi Yuan sighed inwardly, thankful that he had decided to let the subject dropShe really didn't want to dwell on the iical objects, the two most important items that she had inherited froaze went from the sky to her face”So what's the plan?”
”When the last bolt hits, I will sw—” She was interrupted by a loud booaze”When the last bolt hits, I will switch the jade plate into absorption mode”
”Absorption mode?”
Zi Yuan nodded”The jade plate will start absorbing all spiritual energy it detects in its vicinity” Zi Yuan looked at the Heir pointedly”The ti has to be perfectI have to switch the plate into absorption ets destroyed by the last bolt” She paused”And I will only transport us back into the real world after the absorption nition shone in the Heir's wide eyes”Because that's the only e can get out safely” The Heir paused to study her face”You're gonna let the jade plate absorb the follow-up bolts so that on't get hit once we're out”
”Yes”
A loud blast drew Zi Yuan's gaze to the skyTheir surroundings tremored hard
Seventy-three
Zi Yuan returned her gaze to the Heir's face”But just to be safe, we'll fly away from the plate as fast as we can the moment we're transported out, is that clear?”
The Heir nodded silently
”Oh, and another thing” Zi Yuan waited until she had the Heir's attention”When we're flying away later, we have to cling to each other and then fly with everything we've got”
The Heir frowned”Cling to each” Understanding flashed in his eyes”RightThat way, the propulsion force will come from both of us” He nodded”It'll increase our speed since our body weights are pretty ible”
”Yes”
The Heir smiled and shook his head”Sree on the direction we'll both be flying towards” Zi Yuan paused”I say we just fly forward”
”Agreed” The Heir nodded”The plan sounds solid”
”Let's just hope that we're both still alive by the end of this,” Zi Yuan ainSeventy-four
”How many bolts have struck already?” The Heir looked from the sky towards Zi Yuan”Did you keep count?”
”That last one was the seventy-fourth bo—” Another loud booave the Heir a wry s else was said until the seventy-ninth bolt had struck
Zi Yuan rose to full height”We have to get ready now”
The Heir stood up with a loud groanZi Yuan's heart instantly went out to the h it was just a graze
BOOM! Eighty
”Hang on to me!” Zi Yuan snapped”Now!”
The Heir complied and put an arm around her waist
Zi Yuan perforn, and the jade plate's absorption mode can and waited
”You'll experience a feeling of weightlessness when the transportation begins,” Zi Yuan said without taking her eyes off the sky”As soon as that feeling was gone, hang on to me and fly forward as fast as you canGot it?”
”Yeah”
They waited, waited, and waitedNot once did Zi Yuan take her eyes off the sky
BOOM! Transport!
The weightlessness lasted only a split second
The ainst her body, she activated her Yin Spirit and flew as fast as she couldFor the following few seconds, Zi Yuan's world consisted only of blue, violet, and whiteShe didn't careShe kept flying forward and never looked back
”Slow!” Zi Yuan yelled
When the wind stopped whipping against her face, Zi Yuan turned her head to look at the Heir
The Heir gave her a nod, and their bodies drifted apart after that
”Over here,” Zi Yuan said, pointing at the sa on earlier
When they reached the tree, the Heir copied Zi Yuan's action and landed atop the largest bough of the treeZi Yuan shi+fted on the bough and angled her body towards the fieldThere wasn't much destruction to be seen, at least not on the surfaceThanks to the Heir's stellar hoodwinking abilities, e was subterranean
Up in the sky, the clouds were beginning to drift apart
”I- It'sIt's over,” the Heir whispered beside her
”Yes” Zi Yuan sighed”Yes, it's over”
The mirror shall sunder, for the mortal hath sinned
The mortal had sinned
And the mirror had sundered
It was over
