Chapter 57: End Of The Blazing Phoenix Sect (1/2)

”Big brother Seth!” A young girl came running excitedly, shouting Seth's name.

”Yuyin, how have you been?” Seth laughed after seeing how excited she was. This little imp seemed to be always energetic.

”Every time I see you, you're dealing with these big bad guys, are you sure you aren't trying to impress my big sis Lilian?”

”Ahaha, of course not!”

'How can she be so accurate?' Lilian was flabbergasted, she was more than certain about Seth's nature and now even her lil sis had started to understand him a bit more. Was it what they called genetics?

Seth turned towards Lilian and asked: ”What exactly is happening here?”

Lilian stood up, quickly remembering the perilous situation her father was in. Some tears started to build up inside her eye sockets, but she refused to cry.

”Big brother, please save my dad!” Yuyin pitifully asked. She didn't know exactly how strong the people her father was fighting against were, but her only hope was Seth.

”Huo Shihong? What happened with him?”

”No! Do not bother with it. We need to leave this place fast!” Lilian pulled Yuyin while trying to run away.

”Wait, tell me what is happening.” Seth appeared in front of her, blocking her path.

Lilian didn't want to remain here, since she knew it would be a dead end. There were so many strong practitioners surrounding her father, that it was just a matter of time for them to defeat him and chase after them.

Seth approached Lilian and lightly touched her face with his finger, wiping the tears falling from her eyes.

Only now, she realized that her tears were already falling. She did everything to hold them in, but now that he approached her, she couldn't control it any longer.

Her voice got stuck and she almost sobbed, but she held it. She would not break down before her sister.

”Do not worry, I'm here. Now tell me, what is currently happening there?” Seth said in a mild voice, soothing her worries.

Lilian resistance melted. She finally felt how lucky she was to have someone like him as friend. He didn't even ask if it would be dangerous, he just wanted to listen.

”Father... He got entrapped by a lot of strong cultivators, he... he won't make it...”

”Where is he?”

”No! Do not go, they must at least be at the Mana Perception realm to be able to fight with dad. We need to leave or else they will come after us.”

”Lilian, please trust me. Tell me where he is if you want to...”

BOOM!

A huge explosion happened a few kilometers away from them. The shockwave was so strong that it reached the place where they were.

While Seth and Lilian were having their conversation, on the other side, a little bit of time earlier...

Wu Shuhui looked towards the first prince of the Wu Martial Kingdom and the latter nodded with his head.

They were the only Mana Perception late-stage realm cultivators here, other than Huo Shihong. Naturally, they weren't willing to lose their lives in this messy situation.

While the other people were stranded in this situation, they took advantage and used their Mana to rapidly escape from the place where Huo Shihong was.

”Everyone, disperse!” Wu Shuhui shouted while running the farthest he could. His speed was beyond what those other practitioners could ever imagine.

The cultivators surrounding Huo Shihong were utterly shocked at first, but very quickly they used every single bit of Qi or Mana they could muster, while still suffering from some sort of suppression, to move.

Huo Shihong saw how those worms were trying to disperse to whatever direction they could and decided to try something. He wouldn't let his efforts go to waste.

He looked towards the person he hated the most right now, Huo Shikai. He was just starting to run together with the Grand Elder Huo Ming and his supporters from the Blazing Phoenix Sect. Those traitorous worms had banded together during this time. However, it was the best possible scenario on his opinion.

Huo Shihong looked at the fully charged red Skystone inside his hand and focused on the skill he practiced the most of all skills his Blazing Phoenix Sect possessed.

The Phoenix Beam!

Its name sounded childish, but he was more than happy to have practiced it to a high tier.

He channeled the last bits of Mana he still had inside his veins and put all his concentration to create a Phoenix Beam using the red Skystone as a catalyst.

He looked at the figure of his brother, exasperatedly running away from him and wryly laughed as a tear dropped from his right eye.
