Chapter 217: Living Forever In A Maiden's Heart
Translator: LamEditor: Hitesh
The battle which had struck phobia into everyone’s hearts had finally ended. One of the top ten beasts, the phoenix’s presence had disappeared entirely. The flames encompassing the entire Fiery Hell vanished instantly as well.
A few rainbows streaked through the skies as a group of people landed.
These were the disciples of Xuanjian Sect.
They had all witnessed the scene that had just happened. It was impossible for any of them to not be shocked by it. The appearance of a top ten beast had already gotten them into disbelief, but the appearance of the vortex was even more shocking than that.
The aura of that vortex did not feel like it belonged to Dongling Continent, or any place in fact. It was way too strong. So strong that none of them could even feel like resisting against it.
Xuan Yun frowned. Even though peace had returned to Fiery Hell, her heart had yet to subside.
She was an elder of Xuanjian Sect, and her cultivation base was of a Greater Celestial. Even though she was not the strongest in Dongling Continent, her presence was never to be scoffed at either. But the pressure that came from the aura beforehand had even her feeling a sense of death within it.
If she were the target of that black vortex, she probably wouldn’t have lasted even a second.
She had to head back and inform the other sects. This was the first time something like this had happened in Dongling Continent.
A mysterious power which did not belong within Dongling Continent had appeared. And it appeared in Fiery Hell. Perhaps its objective was the Ancient Beast.
And just then, from within the now silent Fiery Hell came a sound.
Xuan Yun’s expression grew alert as she looked around. But upon seeing who it was, she was filled with joy.
”Yunxian, are you alright?” Xuan Yun hurried ahead.
The other disciples revealed a wide smile of relief on their faces as well. They had thought that Yunxian might have perished here.
Xuan Yunxian’s expression was stoned, as though she had just gone through a trauma. Those lost eyes of hers were frantically looking around, as though she had lost something.
But gradually…she revealed a look of disappointment.
”It’s alright.” Xuan Yunxian shook her head.
The only thing on her mind was the last image she saw.
That man’s face, and his final words.
When the flames surrounded that man, she felt her heart tighten. And when she witnessed the man using all his strength to seal up the cave for her, she felt a momentary suffocating feeling.
She had never thought that she would experience this feeling in her entire life.
”Yunxian, it’s good that you’re alright. This place is too suspicious… Let’s get out of here.” Xuan Yun realized that something was amiss with Yunxian and thought that the shock of the battle must have gotten to her.
Not only Yunxian, even she herself was feeling the lingering fear of that battle.
Xuan Yunxian took a final look at the place, her heartstrings pulling at her. Eventually, she nodded.
On that beautiful face of hers was a look of sorrow.
Halfway down the mountain…
The fourteen Sand Bandits had been apprehended by Lei Yifeng and his disciples. When Fiery Hell was bustling, Lei Yifeng had headed in this direction. Bumping into the fourteen Sand Bandits, Lei Yifeng naturally captured all of them since he was still burning with hatred for them. The fourteen Sand Bandits were all squatting on the ground, hands covering their heads from behind, looking terrible.
Now that they did not know where their new leader was, they were easily captured by these people. Looking at one another, perhaps this was truly their end now.
”What are you doing?” Xuan Yun, who was passing by, asked.
”Senior Xuan, these people had robbed us! And their leader was the man who had harmed Brother Liu Linfeng!” Lei Yifeng replied.
Xuan Yun looked at these 14 Sand Bandits and frowned. ”The nature of these men are impure and evil. Kill them then, so that they can no longer harm the masses.”
”Yes.” Lei Yifeng nodded his head. But just as he was about to strike, Xuan Yunxian spoke up.
