Chapter 3285: Danger at Every Turn
“MIss Yurou, i-is this really the Earthen Winged King’s source of life?”
“Impossible. That’s impossible. Two sacred beasts confronted us back then. The difference in strength was so great that even managing to escape was extremely fortunate for us. How were you able to kill them?”
“Miss Yurou, h-how exactly did you kill it while facing two sacred beasts at the same time?”
......
…
Following their shock, the eight Godkings all spoke up and asked frantically. Shock and disbelief filled their voices.
They understood their own strength far too well. When they faced the Earthen Winged King alone, they required everyone’s combined efforts and the White Emperor’s power for even a chance at killing it.
If they faced two sacred beasts simultaneously, they only had a chance at survival if they fled quickly given the strength they possessed and the situation at the time.
If they were slow, then they would be completely annihilated.
Yet now, not only had Bai Yurou’s group returned from certain death, but they had even come back with the Earthen Winged King’s source of life.
This was simply inconceivable.
However, Bai Yurou did not answer their questions. She did not even spare a second glance at them. She only passed an order to the members of the White Emperor clan present and carried out various arrangements, prepared to retreat from Death Valley.
The eight Godkings were all rather awkward from how they were coldly ignored. They all understood that they had already earned Bai Yurou’s displeasure from deserting.
“Elder Qing!” Bai Yurou called out.
“What are your orders, miss?” the middle-aged man beside Bai Yurou said politely.
“Drape all of the elders who fell in battle in the banners of our White Emperor clan and prepare the ships. I want to bring them back to the city in the highest honour possible. Everyone who sacrificed themselves is an honourable contributor to our White Emperor clan. Their family and descendants should be treated kindly by our White Emperor clan,” Bai Yurou said.
“Yes, miss!” Elder Qing accepted the order and immediately took out a ship, laying down the corpses of the Godkings that fell in battle inside.
The ship was rather similar to the spaceships of the Saints’ World. They varied in size and possessed a tremendous amount of space inside.
Afterwards, everyone from the White Emperor clan began boarding the ship. Bai Yueye and Bai Changlin arrived in Jian Chen’s cave once again.
Bai Yueye was just as innocent and lively as before, extremely kind-hearted, while Bai Changlin stood to one side with his arms crossed and a frosty expression. He instead seemed like her bodyguard.
“Elder Chu and the others have already returned. It’s time for us to leave. However, you really were right about something. There really was more than one sacred beast in Death Valley. There were two.” Bai Yueye’s voice rang out in the silent darkness as soon as she entered the cave, “However, so what if there were two sacred beasts? Weren’t they still slain by big sister Yurou? Sister Yurou’s powers are beyond the imaginations of regular people.”
When she mentioned Bai Yurou, Bai Yueye’s eyes twinkled with admiration.
“Hmm, what’s wrong with your legs? Why have they turned to stone?” Bai Yueye noticed what had happened to Jian Chen’s legs and immediately became intrigued.
The little girl was an Overgod, but her insight was clearly extremely limited.
“It’s not a problem. I just can’t move my legs temporarily.” Jian Chen smiled gently. His soul had already recovered slightly, so he seemed to be doing much better than before.
“Alright!” The girl agreed gently and did not think too much of it. She only stared at Jian Chen’s petrified feet with her brows furrowed in thought before turning towards Bai Changlin. He was currently standing on the side with his arms crossed. She said, “Changlin, come here and carry him onto the ship.”
“What? I have to carry him? Yueye, don’t you know what my identity is? You actually want me to carry him?” Bai Changlin said in disgust.
“Obviously. If you don’t carry him, am I supposed to carry him instead?” Bai Yueye shot him a glance.
Hearing that, Bai Changlin immediately sprang up like a cat that had its tail trodden on. He said frantically, “No, no, no. Men and women should keep apart. Yueye, you need to stay calm. You can’t do something so unfitting to your identity.”
“Then are you going to carry him or not?” Bai Yueye planted her hands on her hips and feigned anger.
“This… this… Let me think of an idea.” Bai Changlin thought about it for a moment with his eyebrows furrowed before suddenly leaving the cave. Very soon, he returned with a spiritual beast he had caught outside.
The spiritual beast was shaped like a horse, except its strength was pitifully weak, only equivalent to a Saint Emperor. It trembled in fear as it faced the two Overgods.
Afterwards, Jian Chen was carried out of the cave on the spiritual beast’s back, making his way towards the ship parked on the ground nearby.
“Bai Yueye, Bai Changlin, who’s this?” At this moment, a cool voice rang out from the sky above.
Dressed in a green dress, Bai Yurou strode over from afar gracefully, staring at Jian Chen indifferently. She was slightly perplexed.
Elder Qing followed close behind her like a personal guard.
Bai Yueye and Bai Changlin both bowed towards Bai Yurou. Their eyes were filled with admiration. Afterwards, Bai Yueye explained, “Sister Yurou, he’s someone in trouble that was saved from an ancient forest beast by elder Chu. Elder Chu said he would take him out of Death Valley safely.”
Bai Yurou glanced past Jian Chen indifferently and said nothing at all, entering the ship with elder Qing in a flash.
“This Chu Tianxing sure has gone a little too far, bringing a stranger onto our White Emperor clan’s ship before getting the young miss’s permission. Does he really think he’s in control in a place like this?”
At this moment, elder Qing said coldly with a sunken face, “Young miss, I better order others to remove irrelevant people from the ship.”
“That won’t be necessary. Since he’s in trouble, what’s wrong with helping him?” Bai Yurou sighed gently. Her expression was rather mixed. “Elder Qing, you better not forget that we were also in trouble just recently. If it were not for that mysterious expert helping us secretly, would we still be alive right now?”
“Since the mysterious expert could lend us a hand when we were in danger, why can’t we help out the weak who are also in need of help?”
“As you say, miss!”
.....
…
Very soon, the White Emperor clan’s ship rose up into the air and shot off for the outskirts of Death Valley in a straight line.
At this moment, on the outskirts of Death Valley, several dozen Godkings concealed their presences and lay in hiding within the mountains. The ship would definitely pass by this location.
They chose their hiding spots extremely meticulously. They were clearly assembled in a colossal formation that had not been activated.
“Sir, the White Emperor clan’s ship is about to reach here.” At this moment, several Godkings enveloped in black robes stood side by side within a dense cover of trees. An Overgod in black robes knelt on the ground and reported politely.
“Alright. Is there any news regarding the Earthen Winged Emperor?” asked one of the Godkings.
“Sir, we’ve just received news that the Earthen Winged King had already died. However, the person responsible for intelligence over there seems to have discovered something else. They’re still in the process of investigating it,” the person on the ground said.
“The Earthen Winged King is already dead? Good, very good. That means Bai Yurou has already used the White Emperor’s power. Otherwise, they’d never be able to kill the Earthen Winged King.” The black-robed Godkings sneered and all eased up inside.
“Given Bai Yurou and their strength, even with the assistance of the White Emperor’s power, they still must have paid a very great price. They’re currently in a weakened state. Pass on the order that we will be sticking with the plan. Once the White Emperor clan’s ship approaches here, take action immediately.”
“The White Emperor is heavily injured. He can only recover with the Myriad Divine Illumination pill, so they cannot be allowed to return to the imperial city.”
“The Earthen Winged King’s source of life must be destroyed.”
