Ancient ruins.
Under the gray ominous sky, Bai Yanâs heart suddenly sored with pain, causing her hand to instinctively clench the chest as her face turned palish white.
âYan Yan?â Heavenlyâs quickly got ugly after noticing her daughterâs chance.
First blocking the sharp claw from the monster attacking himself, he flew away to come before the woman. Heâs very worried and tense in the eyes for he knows something bad mustâve happened to make this proud daughter of his to behave this way.
âWhatâs wrong? Are you hurt anywhere?â
Giving a shake of her head: âI donât know whatâs going on, Father, we have to get out of this place as soon as possible. I feel... I feel like something very bad is happening in which we canât see.â
Something bad?
The man wanted to ask for more details to get to the bottom of this but quickly tossed the idea aside. He could see they donât have the spare time since the hordes of monsters were already attacking again. Whatâs more, the crack in the sky was letting more and more of these things through, which only emphasized the dangerous situation they are in.
Biting his teeth: âSweetie, you leave first, I will draw the attention of these monsters.â
Originally he wanted to kill the leading creature thatâs on equal footing to his own first, but now itâs apparent the plan needs to change.
Naturally, the demon queen wouldnât just leave her own father behind to deal with this horde, but right now the ominous sensation was killing her inside. Sheâs certain something mustâve happened to Ling Yan, perhaps something terrible. Just imagining that possibility was enough to drive her insane!
âFather, I will definitely come back and help you!â
When she finds Ling Yan, she would definitely return.
âGo with confidence, Iâll be all right.â
Heavenly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as he raised his palm towards the sky. In a roaring boom, a wall of earth promptly rose from the ground and cut the horde off from Bai Yanâs spot.
As someone who used the earthen wall, the guy naturally stayed on the other side to act as a shield.
âWhat are you waiting for?!â Seeing how Bai Yan was not moving, the man wrinkled his brow and yelled.
As painful as it was, the demon queen finally relented and began to rise into the air for the crack.
......
The mood only got more oppressive the closer she got to the crack. Then suddenly, right before she could make it through the monsters blocking her way, a pillar of fire shot out at her from above. In her haste, the demon queen only knew to dodge to one side and narrowly avoided the fire.
But she couldnât catch her breath though. More and more flames were coming at her in sequence. Whip after whip, blast after blast, this was no better than fighting the monsters on the ground.
âLing Yan is still waiting for me, I have to leave this place right now!â Growing firm in the face, she ignores the danger of taking a direct hit and plowed right through it all with a giant release of her full might.
She could see it now once sheâs inside that crack. Thereâs darkness, but thereâs also a brightness at the end....
Hope, that was the word she thought of at the whiteness. Whatever worry she had swiftly evaporated for she knew sheâs guessed right.
Without incident, she was back, directly standing atop of the wooden bridge like she was never gone in the first place. Itâs a strange feeling. One second sheâs flying through a dark void inside the crack, the next sheâs simply standing here like sheâs come out of a daze.
Iâm out?
Did I really leave that place?
Whatâs going on here? Did I just get teleported back or was it all a dream? Itâs so calm here like the time I spent fighting with Father is a dream I made up....
