Chapter 1028: An Unexpected Beneficiary?
Mo Wen gracefully alighted frolow, around hiing sea of flames, fiery flashes lit the dark walls of the subterranean abode
He kept a steady gaze as he carefully approached the two adversaries His eyes quickly shi+fted to Gu Jingnized the Red Lotus hellfire He did not expect that she would have hold of such a portentous artifact
He had learned about the terrifying qualities of the artifact, during one of his encounters in the Immortal Cultivation World But he assuend It hadn’t e time, and was barely spoken of in recent ti at Shao Tianqi Shao see aura that emanated froround, not reacting to Mo Wen’s presence His eyes were transfixed on the blood-hued crystal in front of hi hiled to keep balance, but somehow stayed on his feet
“Mo Wen?”
Gu Jing htly Her body stiffened and panic set in, it was hier that Mo Wen had put himself in She never wanted him to follow her, not here
“Mo hat are you doing here? Hurry up and leave,” Gu Jingman cried out, a terrified expression broke on her face The Red Lotus hellfire would make no distinctions between friend or foe The moment it unleashed, she would have no control over it The entire Fire Do in its vicinity
She was the keeper of the hellfire She would try to restrain it within her as long as she could, but she was losing control A look of desperation replaced her calm demeanor He was not supposed to be here, and now she wasn’t sure if it was too late for him to escape imminent death Her plans went completely awry
Admittedly, it was a hasty plan Shao Tianqi had an evil reputation When she found out that he had been in the Beast Lair, she immediately decided that she would set a trap to subdue him there She knew that she would notrealot out of hand, she would use her hellfire, she thought She knew there had been very few Keepers that had survived the hellfire, and that the odds would be al Shao Tianqi would not survive it Of course, she was only finding ways to justify her impulsive nature
The truth was she had come to know Shao Tianqi was a known foe as well as the neht was to kill thisbond with Mo Wen She had a great respect for his talents and his caler She had also taken by his kind nature and adht-hearted in his presence, like a big brother, but she never explored those feelings further It just wasn’t the way of their order
“Don’t coman pleaded frantically, almost to the point of hysteria She was desperate to make him leave, even as he continued to advance towards her
Gu Jing hard to suppress the hellfire using her inner Qi, hoping that would lessen the blast of pure energy the moment it unleashed She looked at Mo Wen, he was still outside the aura of the Red Lotus hellfire, and she did not intend for him to be trapped like Shao Tianqi would If he fled now, there was still a chance he could survive
“Hurry up and go, Mo Wen You’ll die here if you stay here any longer You still have a chance I can’t control it any longer… leave now!”
A faentle and assuring tone “What would beco his head as if to indicate he intended to remain “How could I leave you at a tiri doom, and the strain was tooe back her tears, she called out one last tio now”
“You’re too i at all?” Mo Wen chided “I never iht mind would act so impulsively?” He carried on, determined to make his point heard, “Time is on your side, why the hurry to kill hi into his hands? What makes you think you can survive the hellfire?”
That stung Gu Jingman was a little taken aback, as she stared blankly for a moment before she responded with a brief tirade She said coldly, “You should go, I’ to any of that What I do is not your concern Just leave now!” And for the shortest ain
A dry, croaking voice suddenly broke out from Shau Tianqi, who had hitherto only stood in frozen silence, deep in the clasp of the hellfire Was it Gu Jingman’s momentary pique that freed him?
For the first time, he beca feud with his arch-rival were seeone mad, out of her mind!” He blabbered nervously “She has no idea what she’s doing You must stop her, or ill all die We’ll all die for sure!” Whatever was left of his pride and dignity, thrown out the
Mo Wen barely heard Shao Tianqi He kept his gaze at Gu Jing her closely He didn’t speak a word, but instead walked calently pressing his white robes against the shi+? You have to leave!” Gu Jingman could barely speak, she stiffened She felt safe in his ar out for hi face, now strained with the effort to contain the burning hellfire
Despite the perils that lay before hihteousness, and he simply would not place his safety before hers
Mo Wen had now ns of succu voice She could only comply, and her entire body went soft and fell into his embrace, tears for an altered state He had earlier sue aura now e frootten
The Celestial Body took the for two massive heads and four arms It ell over 300 spans tall, and completely fitted out in a black suit of armor, his white robes no more
Mo Wen was still uncertain if his Celestial Body could help Gu Jingman contain the Red Lotus hellfire Even the Ancients knew that it was not a force to be trifled with Unleashi+ng it would tear the immortal di Lai Immortal realm, would be no more The entire Source World, and countless peoples would perish A cala all life as we knew it No one would survive!
The Celestial Body spread over the blood-hued crystal, as if forantic proportions, and appeared as if it could prop up the skies by just raising its hand Carefully, it drew the Red Lotus hellfire in
Gu Jingman remained in his embrace, hidden from view entirely, tucked securely aithin Mo Wen’s Celestial Body It was colossal, see like it could easily s up the entire Heaven and Earth It was an awe-inspiring sight!
Mo Wen’s decision to keep Gu Jingman within his Celestial Body was out of sheer desperation But what other choice did he have?
He hoped that it could suppress the force of the hellfire when it released its devastating burst of energy It had only just begun to rouse, still stirring fro slumber, and not fully awakened yet to its inherent destructive force There was an outside chance that the Celestial Body would succeed
