Chapter 714 - 206: A Great Foe
Elder Yu was filled with intense hatred.
This feeling was akin to having victory firmly in one’s grasp initially, only for an unexpected Cheng Yaojin to appear at the last moment and snatch away the fruits of victory.
What Elder Yu found most intolerable was that this "Flame Emperor" team, which he had once personally declared would definitely amount to nothing significant.
"Good! Very good! You two... and the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, hmph! Let’s go!" Elder Yu had arrived full of pride like a spring breeze, but now he left with his head drooping, defeated like a rooster, fleeing in utter disarray.
"Elder Yu, no need for a farewell. Regarding the search for the Divine Artifact, I will definitely visit in person to discuss the details," he saw Elder Yu leading a group of Martial Artists, not even turning back, disappearing angrily into the sky.
Elder Helian’s eyebrows and beard were all squeezed together in delight.
The members of the Continent Martial Artist Elite Camp came and went like the wind, disappearing from sight in a moment.
Elder Helian was so happy, he lavishly praised Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling.
The trainees on the deck were still immersed in the euphoria of this great reversal of victory, and they came forward one after another to offer their congratulations and curry favor with Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling.
Seeing this, Feng Tian showed a mocking smile.
"Damn it, how is it possible, Yun Sheng actually won the title of Fighting King of the Yellow Wing Competition Zone."
Inside the cabin, Chen Lianlian’s eyes were practically turning green with envy.
All that she had seen and heard just now was provoking Chen Lianlian.
And those trainees who had previously disdained Yun Sheng and Donghuang Lingling, now all gathered around them.
All those flattering faces and complimentary words, they were supposed to be hers.
Not to mention, when Ye Beiming was watching the scene earlier, he was utterly infatuated, gazing at Yun Sheng.
Chen Lianlian had no heart to keep hiding and eavesdropping on Elder Helian’s praise for Yun Sheng and the others; she returned to her cabin.
Events of the past few months replayed in her mind, tormenting her relentlessly.
Since the incident with Tian Yitu, a few female Mages who were originally friends started to distance themselves, and the male Mages who used to pursue her showed disdainful expressions and often insulted her in casual conversation.
These people, lifting someone high and stepping on others, they were all despicable and petty.
"Everyone remember this, the humiliation you’ve shown me today, I, Chen Lianlian, will surely repay you double in the future."
Chen Lianlian’s beautiful face, due to anger and jealousy, had become very ugly.
She suppressed the bitterness in her heart and took out that piece of Mysterious Stone.
After she killed Tian Yitu, she had obtained this stone, but since she was worried that the Sky Wing City Lord might still investigate Tian Yitu’s affair, she dared not refine it.
Now that the skyship had left Sky Wing City, it should be safe.
Chen Lianlian carefully examined the stone.
This stone and a missing piece on her bracelet were exactly the same shape.
However, Chen Lianlian didn’t know how to refine artifacts, so no matter how much she looked, she couldn’t understand it.
"It seems I’ll have to go back and check again," Chen Lianlian bit her lip and put the stone away.
The trainees from the Mainland Elite Camp still had several days left on their journey back to the Mainland Elite Camp, during the remaining days, Elder Helian ordered the trainees to practice individually on the skyship.
Meanwhile, on the continent, unknown changes were taking place.
Thousands of miles away from Sky Wing City, on a snow mountain that very night after the end of the Sky Wing City Beast Chaos.
The pitch-dark Falcon King’s lair, where a solitary shadow stood.
The shadow looked like a human, and yet also like a beast.
The White Crowned Eagle King, whose wing had been cut off by the Sky Wing City Lord, stumbled in as it flew.
"My lord," the Falcon King uttered a voice akin to that of a human upon seeing the shadow.
"Only you have returned?" the shadow noted, its voice carrying a hint of surprise.
"They all died," the White Crowned Eagle King said fearfully.
The shadow was even more astonished upon hearing this.
The power of Sky Wing City was something "he" was very aware of.
Two King-level Magical Beasts, along with several Commander-level Demon Beasts—one had entangled the Tianyi Venerate while the others had entered Yunhai to search for a Magic Array—they should have been more than sufficient, theoretically.
Yet now, several Commander-level Demon Beasts and one King-level Magical Beast had all ended up dead.
"Who did this, or have the Human Clan cultivated so many experts over the years?" the shadow had meticulously planned this, yet he hadn’t anticipated such an outcome.
"I do not know, my lord. The Demon Beasts in Yunhai have all vanished, and there are no corpses to be found," the White Crowned Eagle King couldn’t find any clue as to who could have been responsible.
It had only heard that before the sealing of Yunhai, the Sky Wing City Lord had issued a command, and many competitive teams had entered Yunhai.
The shadow was furious.
Even the corpses could not be found... Those damnable humans.
The blood and soul stones of the Commander-level and King-level Demon Beasts have always been coveted by the Human Clan.
These Commander-level and King-level Demon Beasts are rare beings on the Wuji Continent.
If it were not for the shadow discovering and stimulating the potential of these Demon Beasts within them, they might still be just ordinary high-level Demon Beasts.
Beside the shadow, a terrifying pressure, like a snake spitting out its tongue, was invisibly emanating a daunting force.
Feeling this pressure, even the King-level White Crowned Eagle King trembled with fear.
"Please calm your anger, lord. The Array Map of the Magic Array in Yunhai has been obtained," the White Crowned Eagle King produced a Magic Array Diagram.
It and its companions, having spent many years infiltrating Sky Wing City, had finally accomplished their mission.
Seeing that Magic Array Diagram, the shadow’s rage finally subdued.
"He" took the Array Map, and an unusual gleam crossed his unseen eyes.
The Martial Artist, the Sky Wing City Lord, had merely been using this Magic Array to sustain the dilapidated Sky Wing City, completely unaware of the true potential of this Magic Array.
"Lord, now that this Array Map has been found, may I and my eagle offspring return to that place?" seeing the shadow in a good mood, the White Crowned Eagle King seized the opportunity to inquire.
"The time is not yet ripe. With your constitution, you are still unable to pass through that Barrier. Stay here to heal your wounds, and as soon as there’s any sign of activity on the Wuji Continent, notify me immediately. I will not let your efforts go unrewarded," the shadow said, and a flicker of Magic Wave twinkled before it vanished.
The shadow moved fast as lightning, traversing the sky toward the east.
At the far eastern edge of the continent, a blood-red light shone brightly. The shadow continued flying into the red light until it disappeared.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Capital Left Minister’s Communication Demon had already arrived earlier at the Post Qin Prince Residence.
The Guard Commander of the Prince Residence, having received the news of the Eastern Capital Princess’s presence in Sky Wing City, promptly went to report to Dugu Xiu.
