When the Life Soul Bead was stolen by Yang Ling right in front of the Abyssal Demon Lord’s eyes, the Abyssal Demon Lord went crazy and carried out a mass carnage. He didn’t just kill the wanderers in the Demon Hall. He didn’t even let the wanderers in the Moon Lake’s vicinity off. He either launched a large amount of flames from the sky at them and burned them to death, or he crushed their Godheads one by one. Only a few people escaped by blind luck.
After the bloody carnage, the Moon Lake’s vicinity changed beyond recognition. For around ten thousand miles, the land turned scarlet, and flames burned in it for an entire month. All tall and large trees in the Moon Lake’s vicinity were cleanly burned, and the towering palace on the island was further destroyed and even razed to the ground by the berserk Abyssal Demon Lord.
It wasn’t just the Demon Hall that was sealed. The whole island was sealed by an Ancient Magical Formation Spell. As for the mist that contained soul attacks, it became thicker, and no one could fish Soul Stones out at the lakeside.
Most of the wanderers, who came from far and near and didn’t get to go back home, died in a foreign land. As for the Abyssal Demons in the Moon Lake’s vicinity, they retreated into the Demon Castle, and the land within ten thousand miles regained its calm.
Another day passed, and as the beauty Sala observed the setting sun and the mist atop the water surface, tears streamed down her cheeks. “Richard, why didn’t the lord and others come out yet?”
The beauty Sala and Richardson had gotten to see the Abyssal Demon Lord’s frightening silhouette before entering the Demon Hall and quickly retreating in alarm to the lodging spot set up on the island by Yang Ling. They used the Magical Formation Spell there to teleport to the Great Wizard Altar in the lake’s vicinity. They quickly hid with the Flying Dragon King Seylius and the others and drew help from the Great Wizard Altar and the Restriction Spells to survive the crisis by blind chance.
At first, they assumed that someone with Yang Ling’s power would manage to retreat, even if he ran into great danger. They didn’t expect that they would end up waiting a whole month without finding any traces of him.
“Sala, Brother Yang Ling and the others probably took advantage of the chaos to rush out a long time ago, and are now waiting for us in Astonvela Manor. Let’s go and travel directly to Astonvela Manor. We just have to leave a brief note before leaving.” Richardson comforted the aggrieved beauty Sala in a soft voice and tightly held her thin waist. He softly wiped away the tears on her face and inwardly let out a sigh.
The Abyssal Demon Lord was a peerless powerhouse at the same level as the Cutting Edge Warrior of Death Alex, the King of Darkness, and others. Even an ordinary Divine Lord would have to look up to these real powerhouses. It was difficult for Yang Ling to even deal with an apex Eighth Level Divine Duty Expert like Borgans, let alone the Abyssal Demon Lord, who was stronger by a thousandfold.
They didn’t find any traces of Yang Ling’s team for a long time, and there was only one explanation for this: they had already gotten an eternal rest in the Demon Hall.
As Richardson thought of this, he felt quite pained, but he also understood that it wasn’t possible for Yang Ling to survive in the face of the Abyssal Demon Lord, who had carried out mass carnage. However, it was a pity that even though he understood this, he still couldn’t state it bluntly. He could only tactfully advise the beauty Sala to leave this land of grief with him.
“It’s impossible. The lord is our closest relative, and even if he suffered heavy injuries or suffered an accident, he still wouldn’t abandon us, and he also wouldn’t wait for us in Astonvela Manor, unless he’s…” As the beauty Sala thought about the Abyssal Demon Lord, who had carried out a terrifying massacre, tears streamed down her cheeks, and she didn’t dare continue thinking about it.
In her eyes, Yang Ling was her closest relative. To her, he was the only one who truly cared about her fate and feelings. In her eyes, Yang Ling was the Magical Beast Army’s soul, and the army’s beasts would become toothless tigers without him. In her eyes, Yang Ling was the lord of the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension, and the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension would become an isolated Materialistic Plane without him. A sky without Yang Ling would be quite dark!
The beauty Sala thought about Yang Ling’s calmness and firmness when he decisively fought battles across thousands of miles. She also couldn’t help but think about the faint smile he usually wore on his face, and her tearful eyes turned blurry. In the past, when everyone mocked her identity, Yang Ling had secretly passed down an order to seal news about it, and when she failed to make a Level Advancement for a long time, Yang Ling provided her with Crystal Marrow and Magical Divine Rings to help her practice. When she nervously started dating Richardson, Yang Ling’s tolerance boosted her confidence and courage.
“Richard, please inform me that the lord is all right and that he didn’t suffer any mishaps.” The beauty Sala weakly leaned into Richardson’s embrace. Her shoulders shivered, and her tears fell like rain. She felt like she had suddenly lost the most important thing in her life. She felt quite empty, pained, and she felt at a loss.
Richardson embraced the aggrieved beauty Sala. “Sala, please don’t cry,” he said. “Even if you lose everything in the world, you still have me, and even if the Plane collapses one day, and even if you lose everything, I will still accompany you until we grow old together.” But as he thought about the voice, features, and smiling face of his brother Yang Ling, his nose became runny, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
After the Abyssal Demon Lord left with a large group of Abyssal Demons, Richardson, the Flying Dragon King Seylius, and others had gone to look for Yang Ling on the island, but they couldn’t even swim over to it, even after using their whole power, let alone enter the Demon Hall.
“The Abyssal Demon Lord, that damned B*stard. My name is Seylius, and I swear that one day I will carry out a massacre in the Demon Castle, and one day I will take his head and offer it as a sacrifice to the lord.”
The beauty Sala’s cheeks were streaming with tears, while the Flying Dragon King Seylius’s eyes were bloodshot. He gnashed his teeth and opened his right hand, leaving five deep bloody marks on a boulder. Even though the Flying Dragon King Seylius didn’t state anything bluntly, he was clearly aware of what happened because he hadn’t found any traces of Yang Ling for a whole month and couldn’t detect his aura.
“Seylius, let’s go to Astonvela Manor. If we still don’t get any news about brother Yang Ling there, then…” Richardson paused for a moment and muttered to himself irresolutely for a moment before saying, “Then just go with me to the Death Plane. At the very least, you won’t be bullied by anyone in our Green Clan’s Heavenly Mountain Range.”
The Flying Dragon King Seylius decisively refused Richardson’s invitation. “No, I won’t go anywhere. I’ll train here, but I must still trouble you with looking after Sala later. If you bear a child one day, I hope that you won’t forget to inform him that he still has a relative called Yang Ling.”
…
As the crowd thought about Yang Ling, who got an eternal rest in the Demon Hall, they felt quite unwell. But, as they were about to discuss their next plan, a sonorous cry reverberated from the Demon Hall and reached the sky.
Roar!
As a muffled “crashing” noise echoed out, a giant Flying Magical Beast tore open the majestic Demon Hall’s roof and soared into the sky. As a “swooshing” sound echoed out, it instantly appeared above the crowd, and its speed reached an unbelievable level!
“Lord, it’s the lord Rodriguez and others.”
“The lord has come back.”
…
The beauty Sala looked excitedly at the Golden Roc, who descended swiftly on the ground, and looked at the smiling Yang Ling, Corpse Wizard King, and others atop the Golden Roc’s back. She shed tears of excitement and excitedly rushed over before tightly hugging the Blood Angel Ophelia. As for Richardson, he opened his eyes wide and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He suspected for a moment that this was an illusion. They survived the Abyssal Demon Lord’s slaughter, destroyed the Demon Hall, and rushed out forcefully. This was really unbelievable!
“Hurry up and go there quickly. Your eyes will fall off if you wipe them further.”
Yang Ling looked at the people in the crowd, who were all stunned, and chuckled. He asked the crowd to ride the Golden Roc, and they quickly left the trouble spot at the highest speed possible and traveled to the distant Astonvela Manor, where they planned to see whether the Chief Elven Priestess and others were still there.
Swoosh!
The Golden Roc Mertesacker’s speed was beyond their imagination. A journey that took them a whole month with the Twin-legged Flying Dragons was unexpectedly crossed in four hours by The Golden Roc.
When lanterns were just being lit in the early evening, they smoothly reached the distant Astonvela Manor. But, unfortunately, the Corpse Wizard King and others searched the manor several times but didn’t find traces of the Chief Elven Priestess and others. According to what the hotel’s wait said, they had already left more than half a month ago.
“Lord, the Plane Channel’s closure day is tomorrow. I think that the Chief Elven Priestess and others have probably already gone back,” the Corpse Wizard King reported back quickly.
“Fine. Let’s go back directly to the Plane Channel. We will get back to the Magical Beast Territory tomorrow.” Yang Ling walked with large strides toward the Golden Roc, planning on hastening on with the journey through the night. They would probably get back to Tailun Continent the next day, and they would go back to the familiar Magical Beast Territory.
“Brother Yang Ling, wait a minute.” Richardson quickly chased after Yang Ling and muttered to himself for a moment before saying, “Brother Yang Ling, I plan on going back to the Death Plane and living with my mother for a while, so I won’t be able to travel outside for a short time. If I get an opportunity, I’ll travel to your Tailun Continent. So, what do you think about this? Can you let Sala come back with me?”
Yang Ling’s heart was set on quickly going back home, and it was the same for Richardson. He wanted to know the past events between his mother and the Rain Demon. He also hoped to bring back the pretty beauty Sala with him and visit his mother, who aged with every passing year.
“Lord, I…” The beauty Sala leaned against Richardson’s sturdy body, and a flush appeared on her face. She gnashed her teeth and summoned her courage and said, “Lord, I can’t serve you later. But, as long as I have time, I will definitely go back to the Magical Beast Territory with Richard to visit you.”
Yang Ling looked at the resolute beauty Sala and furrowed his brows. “Sala, have you made up your mind?”
When the beauty Sala nodded firmly, he could only let out a sigh and grow quiet. He left with long strides and sat cross-legged in a tent set up by the crowd for taking a rest. He took out forty-nine bamboo sticks from his spatial ring. Some bamboo sticks were scarlet, and others were shined with golden light. There were also dark green bamboo sticks, and there were bamboo sticks of all kinds of colors. Many dense cryptic words were carved on them, and they formed mysterious and abstruse words or patterns. The Five Elements Divination!
Yang Ling didn’t want to split up the lovers by force, and he definitely didn’t want to split up an affectionate couple, but he still had a bad feeling about their plans, and he didn’t want to see the beauty Sala walk toward a doomed tragedy. He was in an awkward position, and he could only cast the Five Elements Divination Wizard Spell recorded on the obelisk and hope that he could forecast the beauty Sala’s future and find a way to deal with it.
