Chapter 1404 - 231: The Mystery of the Remains
Chapter 1404: Chapter 231: The Mystery of the Remains
With the help of Mingri, Bo Bo, Yun Sheng, and the others finally escaped from the jaws of the tiger and returned to the Wuji Continent.
They arrived at the entrance of a post station near the Dutian Blood Realm with the aid of the Magic Array.
"Bo Bo, this time, I have defied the will of the Mother Goddess to save the lives of both of them for you. However, the catastrophe in the Human World is not yet over. A greater crisis is approaching." Mingri turned to glance at the sky. Above the Dutian Blood Realm, the clouds churned and had turned the color of blood, with a black thunderbolt, like a Flood Dragon, streaking across the sky.
Mingri’s brows furrowed tightly.
"I know, I know, I’ll handle whatever disaster myself." Bo Bo waved a hand dismissively.
"Ye Huli!" Yun Sheng supported Ye Beiming, who, due to the Magic Array having directly extracted a large amount of his flesh and blood, looked in terrible shape.
Half of his body had almost turned to white bone, and his handsome face was nearly destroyed.
Seeing Ye Beiming like this, Yun Sheng, though strong, couldn’t help but let tears fall from her eyes.
An ordinary person would have long since died in this state, but Ye Beiming managed to hold onto life with his powerful will.
"Little Wildcat, don’t cry, I’m fine..." Ye Beiming had just said when he coughed up blood violently, spitting out clots of congealed blackened blood.
Seeing all this, Yun Sheng and Bo Bo looked even more grim.
"Mingri, think of a way quickly. The Kirin won’t die, right? I want you to save the living, but you have brought back someone half-dead, what’s the meaning of this?" Bo Bo had an urge to strangle Mingri.
If it weren’t for Mingri’s reluctance to save people, she wouldn’t have delayed rescuing her master and the Kirin until then.
In her memory, the Kirin was like a cockroach that wouldn’t die; he had never been in such a situation before.
"His Kirin flesh was mostly devoured. If it weren’t for the Life and Death Talisman within him, he would have died long ago. At times like these, even a god reborn could not save him." Mingri glanced at Ye Beiming and shook his head.
Even for a god of the Divine World, it’s hard to survive when most of one’s Divine Body has been devoured, let alone Ye Beiming.
But seeing him like this, it was impressive, a hard man indeed, and even Mingri couldn’t help but regard Ye Beiming in a different light.
"Is there no other way?" Bo Bo’s face was full of worry. She knew if something happened to Ye Beiming, her master...
"No, there must be a way!" Tears still welled in Yun Sheng’s eyes as she tightly held Ye Beiming, her gaze fixed unblinkingly on Mingri.
In her eyes, there seemed to be an irresistible force, something that made Mingri’s heart tremble.
This woman...
"Netherworld God, why not tell them about that method?" Just as Mingri hesitated, a voice came from within Yun Sheng.
"Ji Ru Mo?" Yun Sheng was startled.
She took out the Heavenly Destiny Mirror from the Beast Language Ring.
Ji Ru Mo, who had been in a slumber, had awakened again.
He hadn’t expected so many things to happen during his slumber.
Ji Ru Mo had long sensed something was amiss with the High Priest, but he hadn’t expected the High Priest was actually a Shadow Guard of Ye Xiu.
"Even if that method would lead to his soul scattering, would you still try?" Mingri, seeing Ji Ru Mo, knew he couldn’t keep the matter a secret anymore.
As a once top talent in Light Magic on the Wuji Continent, Ji Ru Mo had a broad scope of knowledge. It was uncertain how he found out about that Secret Technique of the Netherworld.
Mingri pondered for a moment, then quietly spoke.
Even for him, as the Netherworld God, that method seemed cruel.
"I’m willing." The one who answered Mingri was Ye Beiming.
He let out a bitter laugh; his eyes had already been blurred by the blood, but he could still feel Yun Sheng beside him, shedding tears.
As long as he could see Yun Sheng smile again, he was willing to do anything.
"He was created by Ye Xiu with the relic power of the Qilin King as a Holy Infant, with no father or mother. Besides the Qilin King Relics that nurtured him, it was also the Qilin King’s body. Just before, in the Kirin Forbidden Land, I didn’t sense Ye Xiu’s remains. If I’m not mistaken, the true remains of Kirin King Ye Xiu should still be within the Dutian Blood Realm." Mingri hesitated for a moment but decided to help Ye Beiming under the persuasive looks from Bo Bo.
However, he required Yun Sheng and the others to first find Ye Xiu’s remains.
Only with Ye Xiu’s remains could Mingri use Hellfire to recast Ye Beiming’s bones and build muscles.
The remains of the Ancient Qilin King Ye Xiu, in theory, should be buried in the Kirin King Tomb.
"No, I entered the Kirin King Tomb back then. There are only the Qilin King Relics inside, no remains of the Kirin King." Ye Beiming recalled very clearly that in the vast Kirin King Tomb, there were no remains of Kirin King Ye Xiu.
"Perhaps we should ask Gu Feng. His current location atop the new Dutian Blood Seal is right above the old Kirin King Tomb." Yun Sheng suggested.
They set off together toward the direction of the Dutian Blood Seal.
Gu Feng hadn’t expected to see Yun Sheng again so soon.
But the company she kept surprised Gu Feng greatly.
Never mind the man standing beside Bo Bo; just one look from him made Gu Feng feel like fainting.
And what was with the blood-soaked Ye Beiming accompanying Yun Sheng?
The boy had always been overwhelmingly strong, usually the one inflicting torment on others, right?
And, most oddly, Yun Sheng brought along the supposed broken Heavenly Destiny Mirror, with Ji Ru Mo alive once more.
"Gu Feng, I don’t have much time to explain everything to you. You should be standing above the Ancient Qilin King Tomb. Have you discovered the remains of the Ancient Qilin King during your time here?" Yun Sheng asked anxiously.
Due to the Dutian Blood Seal once having been damaged, Gu Feng used the Light Power to reconstruct the new Dutian Blood Seal where the Kirin King Tomb used to be.
"No, I’m well acquainted with this area by now and can confirm that there are no remains of the Qilin King here." Gu Feng shook his head.
"This is troublesome. Without the Qilin King’s remains, even I have no way to save him." Mingri was also powerless.
Everyone knew that in the war between the Human Clan and the Eight Desolate Beast Clan back then, Ye Xiu perished in the Dutian Blood Realm.
But his remains weren’t in the Kirin King Tomb. The Dutian Blood Realm is so vast, where would they search for Ye Xiu’s bones?
Just then, the Sky Fox Relics within Yun Sheng emerged, emitting a gentle light like a beacon, guiding a path ahead of Yun Sheng.
"Everyone, follow me." Yun Sheng seemed to understand something, leading everyone toward the direction indicated by the Sky Fox Relics.
