Semua Bab Dawn of the Gods: Bab 281 - Bab 290

The voice took him aback. It was Su Xiaomei's voice, coming from within the Frigid Jade Pendant hanging on his chest. He reached out to her with a whiff of his Divine Sense into the Pendant. "Senior. Do you know what place is this?" "I don't know. But I DO KNOW that this place is far perilous than you can imagine! Just get out of here! And be quick!" Xiao Chen took a breath and calmed himself. Being an entity who had survived more than a thousand years, Su Xiaomei possessed great powers that dwarfed even that of his own. Yet, she was visibly afraid of this place and that was enough for him. He began to steer his sword out of the infernal vale and flew clear for 50 kilometers until the intense suffocation they felt finally subsided and everything around them, the sky and the sceneries looked more clear and bright at last. "What a fright! Here I was, thinking that you were about to deliver yourself to certain death once again..."

"Err... I..." Hesitantly, Xiao Chen's eyes wandered to Ye Lingfeng, remembering the Governor's falter just moments ago. This must be the matter that he had been tentative to broach. The silent awkwardness was broken by the sound of a deep breath from Ye Lingfeng. He spoke sullenly, "It's our daughter, Mulian. She was also infected just over a month ago..." "Over a month ago?" Xiao Chen frowned, dreading the worst. The scholar he had just rescued outside the city looked bad enough and he had only contracted the infection just a few days ago. Xiao Chen remembered Gui Xian suddenly and longed for his help, especially if the girl wanted to survive. "Please, Master Xiao," Lady Jiang (Ye Lingfeng's wife) wailed woefully, "Please save my daughter!" Ye Lingfeng looked equally anguished himself. As father to his daughter, it took every shred of fiber within him to hold himself back from plea for Xiao Chen's help to cure his daughter, bu

Huangfu Xin'er stood at the gate outside the yard, looking in her best since she got injured. Xiao Chen got up and brushed the soot off his hands. He walked over to her and said, "It's cold out here. You should be resting indoors." "I'm leaving." Her voice sent a chill down all that heard her as if her voice, like a glacier that never melts, was colder than the harsh frost around them, that the two young men were stunned beyond words. Xiao Chen's forehead curdled into a frown as he placed his hands on her shoulders. "It's not easy to return to Tianyuan City from here, Xin'er. How about resting for a few more days until you feel back, hmmm?" Huangfu Xin'er let out a cold and cynical smirk. Her eyes drifted to the herbs strewn across the cobbled ground of the yard before they shifted to the pestle lying idly on the ground and the mortal still containing half-grounded herbs. Derisively, she mocked, "The Young Lady must be a gorgeo

"The Pond of Gods and Devils? What is it?" Xiao Chen felt confused, although he could not shake off the strange sense of deja vu. He had heard Yi Tong mentioning this place once during the battle at the residence of Clan Zuoqiu, but that was all to it. Zhiluan burst suddenly, after being forced to remain quiet for so long, "I'm sure you know nothing of this, boy! In the calamitous war in the previous epoch, all six domains nearly collapsed. Only they didn't. But this does not mean that all was fine in the end. Breaches began to emerge between the domains, such as the places called the Deep Hatred Sky where Heaven meets the Mortal Realm, the Sea of Painful Sorrows where one can reach the realm of twilight, and the Pond of Gods and Devils where the link between here and the Domain of Evil exists...." Zhiluan continued proudly, seeing as everyone was staring wondrously at it while feeling immensely pleased with itself, "Suffice it to say that i

The following day, Xiao Chen, Huangfu Xin'er, and Xiaoyue were led into the upper level of the Violet Illusory Lands. Just as he stepped into the mystic domain, Xiao Chen could immediately feel the richness of the robust Spiritual Qi swirling around him. He was no longer in a dark cavern from which he had come from, but in an open field of a beautiful paradise. The glorious expanse of grasses that stretched far out of view, bedecked with lush trees and red blossoms while the rolling mountains and hills hemmed in the horizons took every breath out of Xiao Chen. A mystic domain of such size could only be possible with no expense spared, all thanks to the power and time contributed by countless conjurers in the past. The rich Spiritual Qi could only come from an Earth Spiritual Meridian; one that undoubtedly belonged to Tianyuan City. But to ensure that the spiritual energies from the Spiritual Meridian were not drained beyond capacity, the Violet Illusory L
