The Qingzhe Dragon spread its wings, and at this point, no one dared to stop the departure of this domineering and unparalleled dragon. The severely frustrated experts could only watch helplessly as the Qingzhe Dragon flew towards the distance.
This battle had lasted from noon until dusk, and the setting sun cast a tragic and faint crimson light on the city, turning everyone’s faces red.
After the battle, the setting sun seemed exceptionally beautiful, and the entire city was unusually quiet, with only the streaks of light shining through.
Old Master Xue, with a face full of vicissitudes, watched the green figure fly farther and farther against the setting sun. After a long time, he finally sighed, cast a glance at Old City Master Li, who had lost his soul, and slowly spoke, “Li Sheng, this time it’s a significant loss…”
After Old Master Xue finished speaking, his eyes fell on the nearly ruined west street city area, and continued, “It will take years to rebuild this place. You’d better clean up the city during these remaining years, or the next lord of Li City might have to change.”
Being the city lord of Li City meant being the lord of the entire Zhanli Realm, and the lordship was not self-appointed by Li Sheng. Instead, it was held by the most prestigious person selected by many local respected figures.
After this incident, Li Sheng’s strength had been greatly reduced, and the entire city had suffered huge losses. If he couldn’t take timely remedial measures, his lordship would definitely be in jeopardy.
Soul Hall’s Yu Shang sat far away on top of the Tenth Rank Bright Horned Beast. Soul Hall and Nightmare Demon Palace hardly participated in the battle this time. No member of the Nightmare Demon Palace was willing to go against the wishes of Xi Hong, who was extremely fanatic about half-demons, so they didn’t make a move.
As for Yu Shang, he had been very passive from the beginning. His eyes never left the Demon Monarch, and there was always a deep contemplation on his face. Due to this contemplation, he lost interest in the battle, which also resulted in him and the people of Soul Hall hardly being injured.
Soul Hall had always been known for its righteous and fair image, so after the battlefield was full of scars, the members of Soul Hall also summoned their water-type soul pets to heal the severely injured soul pet masters and their soul pets…
“Palace Master Yu, your premonition is really strong. If we had participated in the battle, our soul pets would definitely have been affected,” said the Deputy Palace Master, wiping the sweat from his brow.
“Yes, yes, Palace Master Yu is really wise.” The Soul Hall members from Li City immediately chimed in, showing they were all relieved as well.
Yu Shang gazed into the distance at the darkening mountains, where the Qingzhe Dragon’s figure had slowly disappeared behind the distant mountains. However, Yu Shang’s solemn expression did not fade, and at this time, his heart was full of astonishment and doubt. The astonishment was at the power of this half-demon, and the doubt was because this half-demon always reminded him of the missing Young Master Chu.
Of course, Yu Shang had learned from his subordinates that Yu He had been killed in the underground ruins, and he knew it was Chu Mu who killed Yu He. He had taken note of this favor, and at least he would keep his promise, no matter if that half-demon was Young Master Chu or not.
“It’s such a pity that the entire Soul Alliance wasn’t wiped out, and that Xiao Ren survived!” Ye Wansheng, who had been hiding far away, exclaimed with relief.
When Ye Wansheng had encountered Soul Alliance’s Xiao Ren earlier, he knew it was bad news and wondered how to escape from him. But then, such a significant change happened, causing numerous Soul Alliance experts to die under the demon mark. Even the strongest Xiao Ren was now too weak to even walk on his own. If it weren’t for another expert by his side, Ye Wansheng really wanted to rush forward and kill this hidden danger.
The Qingzhe Dragon had flown far away, but Ye Qingzi was still gazing at that direction in a daze. At this moment, no words could describe the shock in her heart, because only she knew that the astonishing half-demon who caused the fall of many Li City experts was none other than Chu Mu.
This half-demon stood at a peak that seemed infinitely far away to her, but just the night before, they had been talking…
“Hey, where did that kid Chu Mu run off to? Weren’t you helping him repel Duan Xinhe just now? How come the half-demon appears and he disappeared without a trace? Luckily, the half-demon didn’t kill you because you’re pretty, or I would have lost my precious sister… Qingzi… Qingzi, what are you in a daze about, speak…”
Ye Qingzi’s heart was still in turmoil, and for some reason, when Chu Mu and the Qingzhe Dragon disappeared at the edge of the sky, her heart suddenly felt emptier…
“Hey, Little Fox, go find your master quickly. What are you doing here?” Ye Wansheng saw that Ye Qingzi was ignoring him and thought she was still amazed at the power of the half-demon.
“Wuu wuu wuu”
Mo Xie’s Crown Flame burned slowly, covering her silver body. Gradually, Mo Xie’s body shrank, and the nine majestic tails slowly shrank into nine adorable little tails.
“Wuu wuu”
Mo Xie gently jumped up, gracefully landing on Ye Qingzi’s shoulder. She stuck out her little tongue, licking Ye Qingzi’s cheek as if to thank her for her actions earlier.
Feeling the slight wetness on her cheek, Ye Qingzi finally came to her senses. However, before she had a chance to take a closer look at Little Mo Xie, Mo Xie had already shaken her little tail and disappeared from Ye Qingzi’s sight, sprinting toward the direction where Chu Mu had left.
Ye Qingzi hesitated for a moment and wanted to catch up, but she suddenly realized there was already a distance between Chu Mu and her when she thought of the green dragon by his side…
“I’ll see you again when I have a chance…” In the end, Ye Qingzi bit her pale, thin lips and didn’t chase after him.
Ye Qingzi knew Chu Mu’s destination was World City, and she and her brother Ye Wansheng were both going there too…
Under the starlight of nightfall, dazzling light scattered on a quiet and refreshing mountain range.
The breeze blew, bringing a different kind of comfort, like an icy, soft palm gently gliding across the cheek, caressing the skin.
Flowers and leaves swayed, shadows of the trees moved, and a clear pond was next to a huge figure that stood abruptly beside it, revealing an invisible chilling aura in the darkness.
The Qingzhe Dragon was half-curled up, its mouth secreting a green saliva that coated its own wounds. The bleeding wounds quickly healed.
There was a large area of dragon scales missing from the Qingzhe Dragon, and there was almost no intact skin and flesh. There were even a lot of toxins and hidden wounds that were very difficult to recover from, relying on its self-healing ability, so the Qingzhe Dragon could only use the most primitive method of licking to restore its injuries.
Not all of the Qingzhe Dragon’s injuries were left over from the battles in Li City. In the past few days, it had engaged in many battles as well, causing more and more injuries.
In front of the Qingzhe Dragon was a calm pond, not very large, with only a twenty-meter diameter. The moonlight that shone down made it look like a mirror inlaid among the mountains, reflecting a magnificent brilliance.
The terrain near the pond was relatively low, with the water being quite cold.
An emaciated figure with white, empty eye sockets was soaked in the depths of the pond, looking like a corpse without any signs of life. This submerged person was, of course, Chu Mu, who had released the demonized state.
Chu Mu had been unconscious for nearly seven days.
The Qingzhe Dragon had flown with Chu Mu for about one day when it felt that Chu Mu’s soul was extremely hot and difficult to heal. Unable to continue flying, it finally found this pond with a slight healing effect on the edge of the Zhanli Realm and tossed Chu Mu directly into it.
Although the pond was small, it was deep. A Deep Pool Flood Dragon Snake with the strength reaching the Ninth Stage dwelled in it.
But even though its territory had been invaded, the Deep Pool Flood Dragon Snake did not dare to take any action. It could only nestle obediently at the bottom of the pond, refraining from biting even when the half-dead human was floating right next to its mouth. Instead, it coiled around him, dispelling the scorching heat from the depths of his soul.
For six days and six nights, Chu Mu was soaked in the icy depths of the pond. Meanwhile, the Qingzhe Dragon tried its best to save Chu Mu’s life by searching for ice elemental spirit items that could cool him down in the surrounding mountains.
With the strength of the Qingzhe Dragon, it was effortless to obtain ordinary spirit items. However, it had just experienced a great battle, was extremely fatigued, and had experienced a significant reduction in its combat power, causing its injuries to multiply.
At last, on the tenth day, Chu Mu, still submerged in the water, opened his eyes.
As soon as Chu Mu opened his eyes, the deep blue water and the head of a half-flood-dragon-half-snake creature staring at him less than a meter away filled his vision.
Chu Mu was startled by the sudden appearance of the creature. He instinctively opened his mouth, and a mouthful of cold water immediately poured down his throat…
The Deep Pool Flood Dragon Snake was initially just observing the human curiously. However, when the human suddenly opened his eyes, it was also startled and panicked, swimming to the bottom of the pond. It rushed into the underwater cave at the bottom and coiled up its body. After a long time, it only dared to expose a pair of eyes.
“Huff”
Hot air spewed from the Qingzhe Dragon’s nostrils, as it seemed to have sensed Chu Mu waking up. It then crawled to the edge of the pond and stretched its tail into the water, rolling Chu Mu up from underwater.
“Qingzhe Dragon?” Chu Mu quickly calmed down. As he was lifted out of the water, his gaze was fixed on the giant green creature in front of him.
“Sha sha sha sha
Chu Mu’s awakening excited the Qingzhe Dragon, and it opened its wide mouth into an expression that appeared like a smile.
“Young Master, you’ve been unconscious for ten days. During this time, if it wasn’t for this Zhe Dragon searching far and wide for ice elemental spirit items to cool you down, you might never have woken up.” Fox Elder’s voice rang out.
“No wonder I feel cold all over and Ning is in an inexplicable state of excitement.” said Chu Mu. (to be continued. If you like this work, please come to () to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest driving force.)
