Originally this cold lake should’ve been enough to turn any person into a greenish hue due to the insane low temp, but as Bai Yan slowly placed the girl into the water, what came of it was nothing short of serene. There’s a little bit of flush red filling Dragony’s face, making her look like someone that’s peacefully asleep.
“Do you feel it as well?” Bai Yan turns to Mo Li Shang the young man after checking the air, “The atmosphere here is very thick with spiritual energy. It’s a suitable location for training.”
The young man nods in agreement: “Indeed.”
“Unfortunately, I don’t have time to train here now. Let’s look around first, there’s bound to be a way out of this place.”
The panic and unease have grown much stronger by this point, making the woman more urgent to return to her husband’s side.
“Okay.” Sensing the tension as well, Mo LI Shang didn’t dally around and quickly began the search.
It’s then, something up ahead caught their eye that seems to appear out of nowhere. Standing at a person’s height was a monument with several words etched along the surface.
“To break is a Demi Divine Lord.”
Demi Divine Lord? What does that mean?
“Mother,” Bai Xiachen tugs at Bai Yan’s hand, “This monument says Demi Divine Lord, does that mean we need to break this monument with a Demi Divine Lord? Does that mean we can leave after we break it?”
A shudder breaks into Bai Yan’s heart, causing her hands to clench into a ball in the process: “But how can I spare the time to advance into the Demi Divine Lord level? The city is under attack and I’m supposed to sit here and train?” Making an extremely frustrated face, “Why? Why must I fall into this forsaken place at this time? Why does the city have to be attacked while I’m away? I can’t do this! I must return to Di Cang’s side right now!”
Bang!
Not hesitating, Bai Yan’s throws a heavy punch at the monument. The force used could crush a rock, but instead of showing a single crack, the recoiling force from the impact actually bounced her back to the ground.
“Mother!” Greatly startled by the turn of event, Bai Xiachen didn’t think twice and threw himself to her side: “Mother, you will be hurt if you continue to hit it. I don’t want you to be hurt….”
“It’s okay son, move aside and let me do this. We can’t stay here and continue this endless wait while your father is in danger.” Climbing up again, Bai Yan pummels her fist for a second time and roused a similar outcome.
Not conceding, the attack continued, only to repeat itself time and time again. Eventually blood came seeping out of the woman’s messed up fingers that had clearly been scratched to the point of showing bones at some point.
“Demi Divine Lord, why is it only a Demi Divine Lord that can break this? I refuse to believe that’s the only way. Even if I’m only at the High Divine stage, I will break this blasted rock!”
No one can stop me from going back to Di Cang’s side, let alone a monument in this forsaken place!
“Yan Yan.” Mo Li Shang sounded distressed now, especially when his gaze fell upon the female’s hand.
He wants to stop her from doing this of course, but against that strong level of determination, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. Moreover, he’s far too aware of how much Bai Yan loves Di Cang. To ask his friend there to stay put and train patiently would be equivalent of killing her while the husband was in danger.
Very soon, a trickle of blood came trickling down the woman’s lip due to the continuous recoiling force of her punches. She’s at the point of sustaining a internal injury if she keeps this reckless assault up.
