What? Descent from the blood? What did he say? Could it be…

In that instant, the dying Shi Ying suddenly understood and struggling, he tried to pull himself up and look at the mysterious figure next to him. But he was already at the end of his strength, so he took a breath and stretched his hand inch by inch, just reaching the other man’s cloak, when he suddenly gasped out in shock!

And then he saw his face.

The face in the darkness was practically identical to his own!

“You are the first person… to see my true face in the past seven thousand years,” whether if it was because he was seriously wounded and dying, the wise man did not prevent his gesture, but merely raised his eyes to look at the dying Shi Ying in front of him, with a feeble hint of a smile in his eyes. “What, are you shocked? My own direct blood descendant?”

His appearance resembled perfectly that of Shi Ying, except that his features were slightly aged. There was a sort of look of disdain at the corners of his eyes, a domineering presence, and a deep line was running between his eyebrows that was as sharp as a scar. At the same time, he carried a sense of profound loneliness that seemed to extend over a thousand years of vicissitudes.

Could it be that the person in front of him was…

No wonder Ah-Yan seeing this face suddenly lost her focus in the final battle!

Staring at the man hiding in the darkness, Shi Ying tried with all his might to open his lips to say something, but he was at the end of his life, his fractured soul could no longer be restrained, blood gushed from the corners of his mouth, and as soon as he moved, it was as if a huge hand was pushing him in the face, dragging him irresistibly into the darkness of extinction!

Silence reigned at the highest reaches of the Yunhuang Wilderness as both Shi Ying and Zhu Yan collapsed in the ruins.

The moment Shi Ying’s fingers lost their strength, it was as if the Imperial Heaven was liberated, instantly breaking free from his grip and disappearing abruptly – only to reappear the next moment at the side of the Wise Lord.

The wounded Wise One lifted his bleeding finger and touched the divine ring, and the spiritual object tumbled to life at his fingertip, glowing brightly. As if receiving an infusion of energy, the Wise Man’s eyes gradually regained their brilliance, like a golden flame dancing in the darkness.

This Imperial Heavenly Divine Ring, surprisingly, was obeying his orders.

“It’s been seven thousand years, I never thought there would come a day when I will still be able to use you.” The Wise Man let out a long sigh as his fingers gently flexed, holding the Imperial Heavenly Divine Ring into his hand, “When I left Yunhuang, I only took away half of the power that belonged to the darkness, and left behind the other half, hoping to rely on it to guard the peace of Kongsang for generations.” The Wise One gazed down at the spiritual ring and whispered, “But the Kongsang of today has deviated too far and apart from what it was when I created it.”

His fingers suddenly clenched. As if in response, the Imperial Heaven abruptly emitted a dazzling light, like a sharp sword suddenly coalescing!

“A mantis trying to stop a chariot!” The Wise man gripped his sword and turned around, pointing at the two dying young people on the ground.

The sword pointed downwards. However, amidst the loud rumbling sound, a shimmering light suddenly materialized, like the blossoming of a lotus flower – the Imperial Heaven vibrated violently, as if blocked by something, and the radiance suddenly converged.

That shimmering light, appeared from the hand of the God of Creation.

“Huotu!” In that instant, the Wise Lord blurted out, staring at something that was emerging from the darkness.

It was a ring identical to the Imperial Heaven, arising out of nowhere and glowing in the darkness in the same way: however, the light was different from the harshness of the Imperial Heaven, it was gentle and compassionate. Yes, it was the Huotu divine ring, the legendary sacred relic of Kongsang that contained the power of “protection” and matched the Imperial Heaven!

This divine ring of the Huotu, which had been missing for days, has actually materialized here!

It turns out that this divine ring was not in the Green Hall, but was merged with the lotus flower in the hands of the God of Creation!

The Imperial Huotian Divine Ring descended in that final moment, spinning in the void and emitting a shimmering light that enveloped the pair of dying young people. Sensing its presence, the Imperial Heavenly Divine Ring jumped forward from the darkness and mirrored one another as they stood side by side in the air.

For a moment, the ruined dark temple shone as brightly as if the sun and moon were rising in the sky.

As the Wise Man watched the scene from the darkness, an extremely complex expression suddenly appeared in his eyes, as if he remembered something extremely remote, and his expression gradually became sad.

How many years have passed since the moment they were forged?

Thousands of years have passed since then. If the rings behave like this, then what else can he say.

“Bai Wei… Is this your lingering memory that you left on the ring?” He murmured softly, “I was not expecting that after thousands of years, your last thoughts would still have the ‘guardian’ desire – you do not want to see me kill this pair of young people, do you?… As much as you didn’t want to see me kill that shark back then.”

His tone was so weak that he sounded as if he had been pierced through his heart by the sword of Shi Ying for a second time.

“If you hadn’t severed your finger to exchange your ring for the sake of a shark back then, and jumping into the Abyss of Cangwu, so determined to break with me, the whole situation in the Yunhuang right now wouldn’t be like this.” The wise man murmured, looking at the Huotu divine ring floating in the void, “But… it’s been seven thousand years, it’s too late for anything.”

The face of the Wise One abruptly turned ancient, looking suddenly like an old man of a hundred years of age.

As he mumbled, his murderous aura dissipated and he closed his eyes as if he could no longer sustain himself, like the fight he had just fought had exhausted his last bit of strength, and crumpled to the ground, remaining silent.

The Huotu divine ring hovered around him for a long time, and in the emptiness, a vague sigh seem to echo from it.

The battle was finally over.

As the Wise Man collapsed, the dark clouds that clustered over the White Tower of Jialan began to disperse, the howling winds subsided, and the sun filtered through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the top of the pagoda like the celestial eye reopening to gaze upon a city once shrouded in darkness.

Under the sky, now beginning to brighten, a giant bird appeared from high above, hovering atop the White Tower – it was not a real bird, but a machinery of iron and wood in the shape of a bird, its wings reflecting a cold metallic glint in the sun, flying through the air using some magic spell!

After circling around a few times, a mechanical bowel opened with a loud sound and a strike of lightning descended into the sky and landed in the ruins at the top of the White Tower. When looking closer, it turned out to be a rope made of iron, which nailed deeply at one end of the pagoda. A group of people descended along the string and landed in a flash on the ruined temple at the top of the tower.

The men from the Cangliu Empire, who travelled from the Western Sea, had finally made their way to the center of the storm.

“Your Excellency!” The Saintess of the Ice Clan landed on the ground and lost her voice.

Underneath the black cloak, there was surprisingly empty space. The body of the Lord Wise appeared to have instantly turned ancient and lifeless, like a dry leaf. She tried to pick up the supreme leader with trembling arms, unable to hide the shock in her glacial blue eyes – that mythical creature could be knocked to the ground and left dying? Who did this…?

Was it the beautiful young man and his wife next to him in the ruins not far away?

The Saintess of the Ice Clan became suddenly pale and a small dagger appeared in her hand – she didn’t expect to discover such a powerful figure in Kongsang, and if she didn’t get rid of them now, they would sooner or later become a big problem for the Cangliu Empire!

However, before she could raise her hand, her entire body suddenly stiffened.

There was an eerie chill rising from the depths of her heart, coiling around her spine like a serpent, hissing and spitting, making it impossible for her to move. She could not even breathe and could only barely turn her eyes to glance at the badly wounded lord on the ground – deep in that black cloak, a pair of brilliant golden pupils opened weakly for a moment and were staring coldly at her.

Was it the Lord Wise? Would he… not allow her to do that?

The Saintess of the Ice Clan opened her fingers inch by inch with difficulty as she nearly choked and finally dropped the dagger to the ground. In the same instant, that oppressive force suddenly disappeared and the air finally flowed into her lungs.

“Wait another seventy years.” She heard the faint voice of the Lord Wise, “We will be back.”

“…” The Saintess of the Ice Clan nodded and slumped to the ground with a pale face, and before she had the time to get up, she could hear a series of alarming gasps from her companions behind her, “The Kongsang people and their men will be up here soon! The Six Kings have arrived… Quickly, quickly, get the Lord Wise on the Wind Falcon and let’s get out of here!”

” Okay!” The Saintess of the Ice Clan didn’t have time to think twice and hurriedly helped the Lord Wise to his feet.

The Wind Falcon roared and flew away to the Western Sea, ten thousand miles away.
