Chapter 872 “The Mainland’s Change (1)”
Right now the entire Holy Domain looks like apocalypse has fallen onto this world. It’s terrifying just to look at and life threatening to experience.
There’s an urgent need for Bai Yan to leave but she’s not crazy enough to start running around without a clue or plan. Just as she’s deliberating on what to do next, one of the rubbles – specifically a tree stump – had come flying over.
Bang!
Meeting the rubble with a palm strike, the wooden block instantly gets rip to shred and scatters across the ground. Unfortunately, that was only the first of many tree stumps to attack her. In rapid succession, the rubbles are acting like it has a mind of its own and kept bombarding her with either boulders or tree scraps from all direction.Shielding herself with a barrier made up of her own energy: “This isn’t look good. I have to find a way out quickly, otherwise I won’t just be trapped here from the way things are looking, I will disappear along with the Holy Domain!” Tightly furrowing her brow, sweat now covers up her palm due to the intensifying rumble.
Suddenly, the face of her own husband and son appears in the mind. Upon remembering those who are still waiting for her outside, that anxiousness transforms into conviction and strength.
“I will not die in a place like this. Xiachen and Di Cang is still waiting for me. I cannot meet my end in such a place alone.”
Then from of nowhere, the wooden pile that she was standing on suddenly collapses underneath due to a hole on the ground. As a result of this unexpected danger, she too was caught off guard and began to fall. But before the unknown darkness could consume her, a hand suddenly reaches out and grabs hold of her and pulls the woman right back up.
Swinging her head around right away to see who this was, Bai Yan’s face froze at the sight. It’s a very familiar contour that has brought on endless warmth and protection over the years.
“How come you are here?” she asks with a stunned look.
“Because you are in danger, that’s why I came.” Bright and warm like the burning sun, the man’s smile lights up her heart just by speaking. “If you want to leave the domain then I will help you….”Releasing a beam of joy in her own face, Bai Yan couldn’t help but respond right away: “Okay, I want to go out.”
Gesturing with his finger at the air, a strange light emerges from the tip as Chu Yi God mutters some silent spell from his lip. Gradually, a door forms from this. “Go, this door will lead you back to the outside.”
Nodding, Bai Yan takes a few steps forward before she swings around again to find Chu Yi God already facing her with his back: “Chu Yi God, you…. who exactly are you? How is Chu Yi Feng related to you?”
This man not only has the exact same face as him, but the fact that he could come and go as he pleases within the Holy Domain indicated they’re somehow connected. She be a fool to believe otherwise.
“I cannot tell you for the time being. You will find out on your own once you reach the Celestial Realm.”
“I see.”
Out of consideration for saving herself twice, Bai Yan won’t press the matter. Slowly but with measured steps, she opens the door and leaves behind the man in the crumbling background.
Losing that smile now that he’s alone again, Chu Yi God reveals the sadness in those calm watery eyes: “I hope you will still be like this to me after you learns the truth.”
Closing his eyes, the picture of the woman’s look of hatred slowly surfaces again, just like all those years ago….
