My Fury Will Burn The Heavens Chapter 428 - Buried Along With The Dead?

The Demon Empress retreated rapidly and flew back several tens of kilometers before the Devil Star Vine stopped pursuing and quickly concealed itself into the sea. The surface of the sea regained its calm waves, and that ma.s.sive island vanished. There was only a giant reef which was left behind, but it contained the scars of the great battle, making it look abnormally ugly.

Swis.h.!.+

The Demon Empress flew into the s.h.i.+p and looked for a room to recuperate silently. It was obvious that she had consumed a huge portion of her energy during the battle, making her very exhausted.

"Everyone, go back and rest first!"

With a wave of Grandma Silver Flower's hand, everyone walked back to the cabin dispiritedly. Apart from Yun Fei going into the room to change, everyone else used their essence force to evaporate the water on their clothes before sitting on the floor. They had solemn faces and insipid eyes. Qian w.a.n.guan and Zhan Wushuang were paralyzed as they sat at the corner and lost all spirit in their eyes. It was unknown what they were thinking about.

After staying awake through the night and not having sufficient rest for the past few days, everyone didn't have any mood to sleep. The sky gradually brightened up, but the rain was still pouring. The patter of the rain resonated on the deck, which made the atmosphere even more depressing and heavy.

"Chu-Chu!"

There was a sound of an avian the echoed from the eastern sky. There was some vigor in Zhan Wushuang and Qian w.a.n.guan's eyes. After they climbed up to look through the window, their faces immediately turned even more depressed. The corner of Qian w.a.n.guan's mouth twitched as though he was about to cry.

Despite not wis.h.i.+ng to face this individual, the two of them still dragged their heavy feet out of the cabin. The moment after several individuals leaped off from the white crane, Qian w.a.n.guan saw a cloaked Su Ruoxue who had bloodshot eyes and an anxious expression. He couldn't help but turned his head away.

"Where is Jiang Lang?"

Su Ruoxue pretended to be calm, but her voice was trembling slightly. Perhaps it was due to the constant travel without rest, causing her body to be overly fatigued. When she saw the dimming light in Zhan Wushuang's eyes, her body went soft. Had it not been for the old grandma beside that supported Su Ruoxue, she would have already fallen to the floor.

"Jiang Yi is still under the sea. He had been pulled down by the Devil Star Vine, and we do not know if he is dead or alive. The Demon Empress, Hostess Shui, Princ.i.p.al, and Grandma Silver Flower had fought against the Devil Star Vine for an entire night. But, but…"

Zhan Wushuang gritted his teeth and whispered. Su Ruoxue's body shook before her eyes rolled white. Her body went soft again, and she immediately fainted.

"My Queen!"

A group of martial artists from the Great Xia Kingdom immediately surrounded her while the old grandma quickly carried Su Ruoxue inside and looked for a room for her to rest.

Jiang Xiaonu maintained her composure. She waited for the old grandma to bring Su Ruoxue in before she immediately said to an expert from the Great Xia Kingdom, "Let's go over and take a look."

"Alright!"

Jiang Xiaonu had an esteemed status, and along the way, Su Ruoxue already informed this expert to listen to Jiang Xiaonu's instructions. He immediately carried Jiang Xiaonu and flew up to the white crane which was in mid-air. Just as she was about to fly towards the sea region where the Devil Star Vine was.

"Little Sister Xiaonu, come back!"

Zhan Wushuang reacted and quickly yelled out. Grandma Silver Flower didn't even dare to approach. What was the use for them going over? Weren't they courting for death?

The Soul Travel Realm expert from the Great Xia Kingdom was already flying towards the west on the white crane, and there was no way for Zhan Wushuang to chase after them anymore. He was rather anxious and quickly went into the cabin to look for Yun Fei. They both quickly entered Grandma Silver Flower's room and begged her to bring Jiang Xiaonu back.

"Such willfulness!"

Grandma Silver Flower was infuriated. She knew that Su Ruoxue and the others were here, but she didn't bother to come out. She had detected it when Jiang Xiaonu and that Soul Travel Realm expert flew over to that sea region. She originally didn't want to get involved, but Yun Fei was pleading right now. She couldn't just brush it away. She had no choice but to curse out and fly over.

The white crane wasn't fast, but it was just over ten blinks of the eye before reaching the sea region where the Devil Star Vine appeared, which was just a few tens of kilometers away. Grandma Silver Flower was much faster and was about to catch up to Jiang Xiaonu like a stream of light.

Who knew—!

Right at this moment, Jiang Xiaonu swept a glance at that giant reef which was filled with the scars of battle. She knew that this was where the battle took place. She actually jumped off and dove towards the sea.

"La.s.s, you are courting death!"

Grandma Silver Flower's eyes contracted as she yelled out. Jiang Xiaonu was falling right above the island, and she was just a few meters above the surface of the sea. She hesitated because she knew that if the Devil Star Vine suddenly burst out, she was definitely going to die with her measly strength.

"Xiaonu!"

Qian w.a.n.guan, Zhan Wushuang, and Yun Fei looked on as Jiang Xiaonu jumped down. Their faces changed instantly, and they were all screaming and yelling. Shui Youlan and the Demon Empress, who were recuperating inside, had been alerted. The two of them rushed out, only to see the giant black vine erupting out of the sea and darting at Jiang Xiaonu!

"Foolish la.s.s!"

The Demon Empress flashed into a stream of light and rushed at Jiang Xiaonu. She might only have a short conversation with Jiang Xiaonu, but seeing that this pure and innocent la.s.s was a good friend of Xiao Fei, she naturally couldn't look on as she died.

Tsk-Tsk!

No matter how fast the Demon Empress was, could she be faster than the Devil Star Vine? The vine had already wrapped around Jiang Xiaonu and retracted back into the sea with lightning speed, vanis.h.i.+ng without a trace.

Bang!

The Demon Empress was extremely infuriated as she lifted her hand and shot a ray that blasted up a giant wave, inducing a tsunami.

"Empress!"

Shui Youlan flew over. Her face didn't seem to be in sorrow; it was rather excited instead. She cupped her hands and said, "You don't have to worry. That la.s.s isn't trying to bury herself along with the dead. She is trying to rescue Jiang Yi."

"Her?"

The Demon Empress sneered and spoke with disbelief. Her n.o.ble aura made her sneer gorgeously dazzling, coupled with the charm that was released from every inch of her body. She even dazzled Shui Youlan.

"Keke, Empress better not look down on that la.s.s."

Shui Youlan let out a faint smile, which blossomed like hundreds of flowers. She spoke calmly, "During the period of time when that la.s.s resided in the Fairy Peak, didn't Empress realize something different about her? Jiang Yi once entered the Sea of Death and successfully broke out of it. Although he didn't explain it—according to my speculation… it should be because of the la.s.s."

"En?"

The Demon Empress' eyes had a flash of brilliance while her shapely brows slightly knitted together. She had this sudden strange look on her face as she muttered, "Now that I think back… when I first met the la.s.s, she had this indescribable energy. However, it was very weak back then. I didn't pay attention to it as I a.s.sumed she had refined some rare herb. Could that la.s.s be of a special race? A powerful race?"

"Highly possible."

Shui Youlan let out a slight smile while she looked over to the deep sea with her beautiful eyes. Yi Piaopiao's image appeared in her mind while she sighed and thought. Lady Piaopiao intentionally went back to her home and brought back a baby girl who was meant to protect her son. How could the la.s.s be as ordinary as her appearance?

The seawater quickly became calm. It seemed like the Devil Star Vine wouldn't appear as long as no one approached that sea region. Shui Youlan and the Demon Empress, who were standing in midair, returned to the s.h.i.+p a moment later. They asked everyone to stay calm and wait for half a month.

If Jiang Yi didn't return after half a month, then everyone could just go back.

"Jiang Lang, Xiaonu, the two of you must come back peacefully!"

Su Ruoxue woke up after two hours, but she didn't go out. She just sat quietly in the room by herself and looked out of the window at the boundless sea. The old grandma stood guard by Su Ruoxue's side anxiously as she was afraid Su Ruoxue might do the same as Jiang Xiaonu.

Unknowingly, the rain started to fall again, making ripples on the surface of the sea. There was a water mist in the distance, and it made the surroundings look hazy and cooling like autumn.
