Chapter 3303: A Ray of Hope
In their eyes, even experts who had only broken through to the Primordial realm recently were existences beyond their reach. After all, such people were all ancestors in any peak organisation across the Wood Spirits World, enjoying lofty statuses.
Yet right now, they had learned from Bai Yurou that the person coming after them was a heavenly king that dominated the entire Wood Spirits World.
How could they not be startled?
As a result, when they heard the news, all of the G.o.dkings were frightened out of their wits, including elder Qing and Chu Tianxing.
For a moment, no one said anything. They sank into an eerie silence, such that despair and fear slowly permeated between them.
After quite a while, Chu Tianxing asked hoa.r.s.ely, Young miss, I struggle to understand how we would catch the attention of a heavenly king as mere G.o.dkings?
Chu Tianxings words allowed the other dumbfounded G.o.dkings to return to their senses. As a result, the five remaining elders all spoke up, voicing their doubts.
Yeah, young miss. Were just elders of the White Emperor clan. Its not like weve committed any heinous crimes. Why would someone as lofty as a heavenly king direct their attention to insignificant figures like us?
Even if he wants to kill us, theres no need for him to take action personally.
What exactly have we done? What heinous crime have we committed such that a heavenly king wants to erase us?
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ReadNovelFull.me.
Bai Yurous expression became extremely complicated as she listened to their doubts. She said in dejection, Youve been dragged down by me. The person that the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King is truly after is actually me. Due to certain reasons, he wont let me live.
Bai Yurou paused. She seemed rather lost. She said gently, In the past, the White Emperor was heavily injured. Numerous rumours about the White Emperor being on the verge of death rang out, which made our reputation as the White Emperor clan plummet. The only way to heal the White Emperor that we could come up with was to refine a Myriad Divine Illumination pill.
The materials for the Myriad Divine Illumination pill were difficult to source. Ancestor Yan and ancestor Zong in the clan constantly found excuses to avoid the matter, refusing to go to Death Valley and face the Earthen Winged King. With no other choice, I could only lead you all to Death Valley to gather the resources and face the Earthen Winged King.
After a bitter battle with the Earthen Winged King, coupled with ancestor Yans interception along the way back, only you have survived out of all of our elders.
Along the way, weve gone through many hards.h.i.+ps and difficulties. It really hasnt been easy for us to survive until now and a.s.semble here.
But what we face now is the killing intent of a heavenly king. This is certain death. We have no hope of survival.
A boulder seemed to weigh on Bai Yurous chest, such that she found it difficult to breathe. She sucked in a few deep breaths and said in a dispirited manner, As such, theres no reason for the elders to die with me. Everyone, please leave here by yourself.
Bai Yurous words surprised the G.o.dkings present. Elder Qing said in a hurry, Young miss, what are you trying to say?
The Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King is after me. If you continue to stay with me, youll probably be doomed as well. If you leave, you might still have a chance at surviving. Bai Yurous expression was rather numb, seeming like she had accepted her fate already.
Elder Qing opened her mouth. Right when she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Bai Yurou. Dont say anything more. I know youre not afraid of dying, but dying meaninglessly is not worth it!
Afterwards, Bai Yurou gathered all of the clansmen beside her. A huge group of people gathered in the tiny courtyard, forming a great h.o.a.rd.
Bai Yurou did not hide anything at all from them, telling everyone about the dangers and enemies she was facing.
These clansmen belonging to the White Emperors faction were all elites, but they were OverG.o.ds at most. Most of them were even beneath OverG.o.d.
As a result, when they heard about the Ceremonial Bell Heavenly King, their expressions were identical to the G.o.dkings. They were all frightened out of their wits.
Im aware that telling you will only make you feel pressured, but were all descendants of the White Emperor. As his junior, we should know exactly whose hand our ancestor died by. We need to know who our greatest enemy is.
Im not counting on you to avenge our ancestor, as its not realistic at all. However, you need to know who the person is.
Bai Yurou stood on the roof of the building. The gentle breeze made her long hair sway gently. Her eyes were filled with a forlorn emotion as she slowly glanced past all the clansmen below. You should all disperse and forget that you were part of the White Emperor clan. Leave the Sword Emperor city, change your names, and live in hiding. Live on in the Peace region.
No, sister Yurou. We wont let you face the dangers alone. Everyone is a descendant of the White Emperor. If you want to die, well die together.
Were not leaving. Were never leaving. So what if hes a heavenly king? Well stay right here and face him with the young miss.
People cried out endlessly in the crowd. Members of the White Emperor clan all spoke up bravely, without any fear of death, swearing to fight alongside Bai Yurou.
No one left. Everyone chose to stay without any hesitation!
Standing in the crowd, Bai Yueyes eyes also shone with a fearless light, vehemently refusing to leave.
But at this moment, Bai Yueye seemed to recall something. Her eyes shone; she immediately called out, Sister Yurou, I know a safe place that might be able to resolve our difficulties.
Bai Yueye called out using her cultivation, so she immediately drowned out the ruckus present, clearly reaching everyones ears.
Immediately, the surroundings fell silent. Including Bai Yurou, everyone stared at Bai Yueye.
Yueye, what did you just say? You know a safe place that might be able to resolve our difficulties?
Yueye, is what you said true? You cannot be joking at a time like this.
The clansmen in the surroundings all spoke over each other and asked. Their eyes all shone with hope.
They were not afraid of dying, but they obviously wanted to grasp all the opportunities that could resolve the danger they faced.
Yueye, what are you on about? Bai Changlin standing beside her panicked. He had always been by Bai Yueyes side, so he was also the person who understood her the best. However, according to his knowledge, it was impossible for Bai Yueye to find a safe place like that.
After all, this was one of the nine heavenly kings, not some regular expert.
Bai Yueye turned towards Bai Changlin. Her eyes shone brightly. Have you forgotten, Changlin? We met him in the city earlier. He personally said that we could go and find him if we faced any dangers we couldnt resolve.
He had guaranteed that we would be extremely safe where he was!
Y-y-you even believe that? Bai Changlin immediately remembered Jian Chen, which gave him the urge to cough up blood.
Bai Yueye, h-have you been frightened out of your wits? How are you even believing the words of a disabled person? The other people of the White Emperor clan who had met Jian Chen all clutched their heads. They were pained.
Bai Yueye, what exactly is this about? Bai Yurou stared at Bai Yueye.
Sister Yurou, do you still remember that person that elder Chu saved when we were hunting ancient forest beasts in Death Valley before? We met him in Sword Emperor city earlier, and we even had a slight conversation with him. That person rambled on about things, and it felt like he knew a lot. He even said that it wont be so easy for us to return to White Emperor city.
In the end, when we were about to leave, he told us to go and find him if we encountered any difficulties we could not resolve. He even said that other places might be very dangerous, but his place will be extremely safe.
Bai Yurou immediately furrowed her brows when she heard that. The figure who rode the low-level spiritual beast with petrified legs appeared in her head.
Meanwhile, Chu Tianxings eyes twinkled as he sank into his thoughts.
Bai Yueye continued, Sister Yurou, for some reason, I just feel like this person is anything but simple. Even if you ignore everything else, hes quite well-informed and knows about quite a lot of things. For example, when sister Yurou went off to kill the Earthen Winged King before, he immediately knew there were two sacred beasts in Death Valley soon after you had left. Even our White Emperor clan didnt know that.
Bai Yurou shuddered. Her gaze immediately sharpened. What did you say? He immediately knew there were two sacred beasts in Death Valley after I left?
