Chapter 991: Mo Xiao: I Think I’m Wrong
However, Mo Xiao clearly didn’t intend to let Yu Huang off easily today. He asked Yu Huang again, “Why do you think the Divine Masters of the ancient era suddenly died? Why do you think that after they died, there were very few records of their existence in the three thousand worlds?”
Seeing that Mo Xiao insisted on hearing her answer, Yu Huang knew that she couldn’t avoid it. She could only bite the bullet and say her guess. She said, “I think that above Divine Masters, there is a powerhouse that is unknown to mortals. This person is also the culprit who caused the deaths of the Divine Masters.”
Thinking about how after Holy Spirit Goldfeather, Kunlun, and the others died, they destroyed the Central Pagoda and severed their connection with the three thousand worlds, Yu Huang felt that her analysis was very likely right.
Mo Xiao looked at Yu Huang in satisfaction and said, “As expected of my successor.” Mo Xiao stared at the abyss eye in front of the dim light and said, “Holy Spirit Goldfeather destroyed the Central Pagoda to avoid that person.”
“Similarly, the Kunlun Divine Master did so with the same purpose.”
After Mo Xiao let go of the lamp in his hand, the glass bottle immediately fell vertically and smashed in front of Yu Huang’s toes with a shattering sound.
Without the seal of the glass cover, the firefly immediately flapped its wings and flew up. However, it had only flown a few millimeters when it was pulled into the abyss eye by the force lingering around Yu Huang and the others.
As she watched helplessly as the fireflies and those spiritual bodies were devoured by the abyssal eye, Yu Huang’s lips parted slightly, and her expression was solemn.
Only a mere firefly died, but she still felt very sad.
At this moment, Yu Huang heard Mo Xiao sigh softly. “Ah Huang, that ‘thing’ is devouring the spiritual power of this world through the abyss eye. After all the spiritual power is completely devoured, what do you think he will do?”
Yu Huang didn’t dare to think too deeply about this question.
However, Mo Xiao asked patiently again, “Tell me, what do you think he wants to do?”
Yu Huang said in bewilderment, “Godfather, do you think that ‘thing’ is going to devour the Holy Spirit Continent without anyone knowing?”
“Devour the Holy Spirit Continent?” Mo Xiao lowered his eyes and stared at the energy storm in the abyss eye without talking.
Yu Huang thought that Mo Xiao didn’t hear her answer.
After they stood silently beside the abyss eye for a long time, Mo Xiao finally spoke. “Many years ago, I sensed a calamity on the continent, but I thought that Holy Spirit Goldfeather was the creator of that calamity.”
“But now, I feel that I was wrong.” As Mo Xiao looked at the sinister and terrifying abyss eye in front of him, he felt the destructive power coming from the depths of the eye that even he couldn’t withstand. He muttered softly, “The person hiding behind Holy Spirit Goldfeather might be the one who will really bring disaster to the Holy Spirit Continent.”
The intuition of a clairvoyant wasn’t just intuition. It was the power of foresight.
Mo Xiao had predicted that the the continent’s real crisis was coming!
“If we wait for death, we will all die. If we send the prodigies with the most potential to the Upper World, the continent might still have a chance of survival.” Mo Xiao pressed Yu Huang’s shoulder hard as he lamented sadly, “Ah Huang, you have to fly to the Great World. This is your glory and duty.”
Glory.
Duty.
These words pressed heavily on Yu Huang’s chest, making her feel suffocated.
“Let’s go.”
Mo Xiao turned around and returned the way he came.
After Yu Huang came back to her senses, she hurriedly chased after him.
When they returned to the primitive forest, Yu Huang realized that the sky was already dark. When she looked down at her watch, Yu Huang realized that it was already three o’clock in the morning.
They actually spent 11 hours in this abyssal rift.
Just like when they came, Mo Xiao pulled Yu Huang back to the Jade Illusion Continent and returned to the corridor of the Demon Beast Academy.
The two of them left the school building and passed through the school field. Just as they reached the entrance of the school, Yu Huang saw Sheng Xiao waiting for her outside.
He was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and a gray coat. His slender neck was slightly bent, and he was standing with his back facing Yu Huang and the others. He looked like he was… smoking.
When Mo Xiao saw that Sheng Xiao was here to pick Yu Huang up, he said, “I’ll get going first.”
After Mo Xiao left, Yu Huang nodded at Sheng Xiao and shouted, “Brother Xiao.”
Sheng Xiao turned around immediately when he heard Yu Huang’s voice.
He was indeed holding a cigarette in his hand, but it wasn’t an ordinary nicotine cigarette. It was the Soul Calming Medicine that Mrs. Sheng had specifically prepared for him.
Yu Huang hadn’t seen Sheng Xiao smoke this thing in a long time.
He would only take a few puffs when he was extremely uneasy or flustered.
When Sheng Xiao saw Yu Huang and Mo Xiao, joy flashed across his eyes. He broke the Soul Calming Cigarette in half and put the remaining half in his pocket. Then, he strode towards Yu Huang. As he looked down at her, he couldn’t hide his panic. “Where did you go?”
Yu Huang was about to answer when she heard her phone ring.
Seeing that the caller was Yin Rong, Yu Huang gestured to Sheng Xiao to wait a moment before picking up the phone. “Yin Rong.”
“Patriarch!” Yin Rong’s tone was anxious, as if she was worried about something. She asked with concern, “Patriarch, where did you go? Young Master Sheng called me earlier and said that you and the Grand State Master had disappeared. We were worried for a long time.”
“Where did you go?”
Yu Huang looked at Sheng Xiao when she heard Yin Rong’s question.
Yu Huang looked into Sheng Xiao’s eyes. He seemed calmed, but there was uneasiness and worry in Sheng Xiao’s eyes. Only then did Yu Huang understand why Sheng Xiao was smoking at the school gate.
“I’m fine.” Yu Huang hung up the phone after telling Yin Rong that she was fine. Then, she held Sheng Xiao’s hand and asked, “Brother Xiao, did you think something happened to me?”
When Sheng Xiao felt the warmth from Yu Huang’s fingertips, only then did he calm down.
He said, “I thought…” Sheng Xiao’s voice suddenly became hoarse as he said sadly,” I thought you disappeared. ”
“Disappear?” Yu Huang didn’t understand why Sheng Xiao would think that way.
She had only disappeared for 11 hours. Why was Sheng Xiao so nervous?
“My father told me.” Sheng Xiao saw Yu Huang’s puzzled expression and added, “I already know about the abnormality in the abyssal rift.”
Yu Huang finally understood what Sheng Xiao meant. “Did you think my disappearance was related to the abyss rift?”
Sheng Xiao nodded and admitted it.
“I’m fine.” Yu Huang held Sheng Xiao’s hand and they talked about what happened today as they walked towards the hotel.
When she returned to the hotel, Yu Huang saw Sheng Yang and Sheng Lingfeng.
The climate in Jade Illusion Continent was relatively cold. During the mid-autumn season, the temperature at night had already fallen to five to six degrees. Sheng Yang, who had grown into a young lady, was already 169 cm tall. She was wearing black boots, black pants, and a white deerskin jacket over her tight sweater.
Even so, her nose was still red from the cold.
Sheng Lingfeng and his wife held hands as they stood behind Sheng Yang while talking.
