Sovereign Starfeather understood that old fellow. The primalwingers had survived being caught between the two behemoths of Violetglory by being discreet and harmonious. That old fellow had spent his entire life in a cautious manner, so why had he started a conflict with two sovereigns in the prime of their youths when the primalwingers hadnât grown a new crop of experts yet?
They would only infuriate the Violetcloud Imperium for little gain. It made no sense.
As the two primalwinger infiltrators scuttled in opposite directions, Tianming lost track of Ji Xiaochen.
âThis way!â Yin Chen revealed itself at this critical moment. It had placed a few cockroaches on Feilingâs dress when Ji Xiaochen appeared, so it could provide Tianming with directions now.
Suddenly, he heard the rumbling of a moving astralship. It wasnât the Kilostar Capital or Ninedragon Emperorâs Tomb. Tianming turned to Mu Ziyan and asked, âDo the primalwingers have an astalship?â He had always thought otherwise!
âI donât know, they never used one since Primary and Violetglory came into contact,â Mu Ziyan replied.
Not using one wasnât the same as not having one. The noise came from above, so it couldnât be the Kilostar Capital. An astralship that could bring Feiling away had arrived! The primalwingersâ determination was exhibited by revealing their never-before-seen astralship. Any slower and Tianming would lose her!
Tianming had never been so angry. His body hungrily drew on the power from his two billion followers and his totems combined into the shape of a boat, parting the clouds as it raced in the direction indicated by Yin Chen.
A gap was formed in the roiling clouds as he moved, at the end of which was Ji Xiaochen! The next master of the primalwingers had never expected Tianming would be so skilled. When he turned, he saw a young man with the majesty of a sovereign, surrounded by a million swords.
âJI XIAOCHEN! Put her down and I can pretend this never happened!â Two billion voices overlapped like a thunderclap.
Ji Xiaochen frowned, but success was already at hand, so he didnât hesitate to continue forward.
Tianming didnât bother saying anything else. His swords surged forward, buffed by his Omnisentient Will.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSo strong!â Ji Xiaochenâs expression changed. His wings spread out to cover his back, but they didnât provide any resistance and were pierced through.
âThat woman is even more important to me than my life. Anything is negotiable if you let her go, but if she meets any harm, Iâll spend the rest of my life exterminating your race! Innocence and guilt wonât matterâall will die! Believe me, I can already hunt you down in my twenties, so think this through.â The power behind Tianmingâs words was enough to leave Ji Xiaochen pale and sluggish.
However, he didnât stop. He grit his teeth, ignoring Tianmingâs threats and continued his flight.
Tianming closed in. The proximity made Ji Xiaochenâs body burn from Tianmingâs black and gold power. His wings were full of holes as well. He was in critical danger right now.
âLAST WARNING!â Tianming had arrived behind him. The Grand-Orient Sword shone as he used the Sevendragon Tribulation on Ji Xiaochen. He instantly crossed the last kilometer of distance, hacking toward the primalwingerâs head.
âLET HER GO!â The booming voice made Ji Xiaochen bleed from his orifices. Tianming had already reached him, so he would die without a shadow of a doubt if he remained stubborn.
Tianming hadnât intended to kill him without a prior grudge, but the events had already made him lose all of his rationality. The tiny totem swords surrounded Ji Xiaochen, wiping away any resistance he could muster. The Grand-Orient Sword could no longer be blocked.
Then something out of Tianmingâs imagination happened.
The girl who had been âkidnappedâ appeared in front of Ji Xiaochen, blocking the incoming swords. At first, Tianming thought Ji Xiaochen was using her as a meat shield, infuriating him even more. But then he saw Feilingâs blue eyes, and the coldness that lay within. She stood there defenselessly, waiting for Tianming to kill her. However, she knew Tianming wouldnât.
That moment their gazes met was enough for Tianming to realize how difficult it would be to make all of Feilingâs past lives acknowledge him. For Feiling, a girl in her twenties who had loved him for ten years, that was almost her whole life. But for an immortal who only had Jiang Feiling as a tiny portion of her long life, she couldnât deny the long and countless years in the past where she hadnât known Tianming or loved anyone.
Hoping for an agreement to wipe all of that away was naive. She was probably just dragging out the time so that Tianming wouldnât touch her in the real world, but the multiple times in the wondersky realm were truly unacceptable for her.
The truth was out.
Why would the primalwingers take such a suicidal risk?
It was because the Lord of Perpetia wished to leave!
