Chapter 387: A Target on Her Back (1/2)
Opening it up, she began to read the letter from the Grand Elder.
”Ming Yue,
With the recent developments of this war, I cannot in good conscious ask you to continue to keep watch of what remains of my master. At the same time, I feel as if your presence in the Demon Continent is needed.
Our own lands are still a bit chaotic as criminals and evil cultivators have run amok. However, recovery is growing smoothly. If it serves to ease you, your home of the Red Lotus Country is faring well. The damage from the Heavens was not as bad as we had initially thought. With that said, that badge I handed you will allow you to pass between the two continents. If you wish to return, you can do so at any time.
I wish you good health and thank you for your help.”
She looked up from the letter with a contemplative expression.
”So I'm free to do anything then. I thought that there would be more but... what do I want to do now?”
Ming Yue wasn't quite sure.
”Wait, the map!”
Remembering that she had such a thing, she took it out and unfurled it, studying the places around her. Even after looking everywhere, she couldn't decide on where she was headed to now.
”I could always hunt down the rest of the Tao Feng but there is no point anymore. Maybe south?”
In the end, she wasn't sure and so, this decision would be put off for later.
”Ah, breakfast first, I should eat something.”
Putting the letter away, she left her room once more, this time with Hei Yue and Xiao Yin.
But while she went off, the undercurrents of the Demon Continent grew ever fiercer.
In the northwest, where the Hundun Clan flourished in the mountains under the remnant Calamity Energies, the Idol of Chaos stood at the center, slowly absorbing that energy and healing from the wounds. As for the demons of this clan, they all surrounded the Idol, chanting and praying in front of it.
The clouds churned ever so violently as black lightning cracked down. There were no homes here, no sign of any buildings, not even caves to shield other beasts from the constant storms. It was just the Hundun Clan, these demons that which emitted a sphere of lightning, obscuring their figures from anyone's eyes.
But their true appearance was like no other, small fairies whose hair seemed to be made out of lightning. Their wings were that of a butterfly's and their naked bodies resembled that of a person but ethereal as well.
However, their faces were enough to horrify a person. Twisted in anger and rage for the injuries that the Idol sustained.
”HERETIC! SINNER! TAKE REVENGE ON THE ONE THAT DENIES THE CHAOS GOD! PUNISH AND DESTROY! ALL WILL RETURN TO CHAOS!”
The collective voices of the clan echoed from the Idol's body, talking with an anger that could not be subdued.
”BE HEALED AND RETURN! KILL THE HERETICS! KILL THE ONE THAT DARES HARM US!”
The Hundun Clan were beyond angry. In their mind, Ming Yue was the first person they had to eliminate, the first to punish. But with no way to find her, she could only let their anger seethe.
”SHOW THE WORLD THE TRUTH! ENTER THE ENCOMPASSING VOID!”
They continued to chant, guiding the Calamity Energy into the Idol, healing the huge gashes in its body. The Idol itself, stood still, unmoving and just accepting this power. Any semblance of Dai Mian was nowhere to be found, destroyed by the Hundun Clan.
It wouldn't take long now and soon, the Hundun Clan will make their move.
