Chapter 1176: Where Did My Brothers Go?!
Far off in the horizon, two white shadows streaked across the sky like a pair of meteors, reaching a shocking speed!
For some reason, Mei Xue Yan had been feeling an extreme feeling of unease since some time ago.
Truthfully, Mei Xue Yan had always felt anxious ever since the Bear King, Eagle King, and the Eight Great Saint Venerable Seniors had set off. The only thing was that Jun Mo Xie had delivered her into the Hongjun Pagoda from the very first moment, and she was cut off from all news in the outside world. Mei Xue Yan also knew how serious the matter was and remained inside to calm her heart and cultivate, maintaining her heart at the peak state to better deal with matters later.
After that, they coincidentally bumped into the experts of the Heaven Saint Palace chasing after Zhan Lun Hui and the both of them also joined in the fight. Mei Xue Yan hadn't truly shown herself in the battle, but her help was definitely not to be slighted. And because they were focused on the fight, she hadn't thought about anything else, maintaining a clear heart.
However, after the large battle, she actually felt no joy in defeating such a peerless expert. In fact, the anxious feeling were only becoming more and more intense. After separating from Gu Han and the rest who went to look for the remnants of the three Holy Lands, Mei Xue Yan urged Jun Mo Xie to rush towards the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.
There wasn't any delays at all. Jun Mo Xie did not even have the time to catch a breath or drink a sip of water, before being rushed to fly all the way there!
The area that the Pillar of Heavens Mountains had collapsed was incredibly huge, and the rubble could already be seen far away!
For some reason, the closer she got to the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, the more uneasy Mei Xue Yan felt. It was an indescribable sense of sorrow and pain, and she felt extremely urgent, but also fearful, actually making her somewhat not dare to enter that area!
This was an extremely strange state of heart, and even Mei Xue Yan herself didn't know what was going on. There were clearly many brothers in front of her, and many Seniors waiting for her to reinforce them. But yet, she had a strange feeling that that place held countless pain and heartache. It's as if what awaited her infront would end up delivering her a heavy blow...
As they approached their destination, Mei Xue Yan's body softened, and she could hardly maintain her flying stance.
"What's wrong?" Jun Mo Xie looked at her with confusion.
At this time, Mei Xue Yan's jade-like face had turned scarily white. There wasn't any color of blood, and her lips was also trembling lightly. Could she have over-exhausted herself when we fought against Zhan Lun Hui? Still, it shouldn't be to this extent right?
"My body's fine. However, my heart aches terribly, and I don't know what happened." Mei Xue Yan shook her head and furrowed her brows. "There's an ominous feeling which I cannot shake off. Could it be my own groundless fears..."
The usually steadfast Mei Xue Yan actually asked this question in her anxiousness. She was hoping that Jun Mo Xie could give her a definite answer, and the support of a lover she could rely on!
Jun Mo Xie sucked in a deep breath of air and said, "How can uncertain feelings like this be indicative of anything?"
Truthfully, Jun Mo Xie also felt a lurge in his heart when he said this. From the moment he entered the area around the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, he too had this uneasy feeling that Mei Xue Yan spoke about. But because he didn't want Mei Xue Yan to worry, he didn't say anything.
This was a kind of sixth sense, something that an assassin could train to possess after encountering hundreds of dangerous situations!
Usually, this kind of feelings signalled that something had happened!
Jun Mo Xie could basically guess that something huge must have happened on the Eagle and Bear army's side! Right now, he was also extremely anxious. However, he did not dare to express it infront of Mei Xue Yan. Not even a little bit.
If he also displayed this kind of anxiousness...
Mei Xue Yan might collapse even before they reached!
The Eagle King, Bear King, and Eight Great Saint Venerable Seniors! Just what kind of people were they? They were all the closest people to Mei Xue Yan! Especially Eagle King and Bear King, they were brothers that Mei Xue Yan had known for many years!
This kind of feelings were even closer than blood brothers and sisters, even surpassing the relationship between twins!
If anything happened to them, the blow to Mei Xue Yan would be extremely heavy!
As a man, he needed to be a pillar for his woman to lean on. Although Jun Mo Xie was also extremely anxious right now, he had to pretend that nothing was wrong on the surface, and try to comfort Mei Xue Yan.
This was a man's responsibility!
But faced with the sudden question, Jun Mo Xie knew that he could not give her too much illusory hope. Otherwise, it would instead become a bigger burden for her. It was better that she suffer a great pain for a moment, than to be in pain for her entire life!
"Xue Yan, your condition is not ideal right now. Why don't you go into the pagoda for a rest, and I'll carry you there." Jun Mo Xie suggested carefully. If Mei Xue Yan was willing to go in, then everything will become easier. The Hongjun Pagoda was separated from the outside world, and if anything bad had really happened, the impact on her would not be as great as if she was present on the scene. He could let her know the truth at some point later in the future, and it would dull the pain for her. This was the best solution in a situation where there were no good solutions...
"No!" Mei Xue Yan rejected flatly. "I want to go and see my brothers! And I want my Tian Fa brothers to be able to see me with the first glance! I am their Elder sister, and no matter what happens, I will be there to hold it for them!" As she said that, she gritted her teeth and increased her speed. This speed now had already far surpassed her normal fastest.
Jun Mo Xie sighed and followed behind her. Although he knew that Mei Xue Yan would only end up doing herself more harm like this, he didn't have any ways to stop her. Yes, it is true that you as their Elder sister can help them to hold up many things, but in this world, there are always some things that nobody can support. Not even you! There are some matters that one must face, and there's no escaping it!
Right now, Jun Mo Xie could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that this blow will not be too heavy! Or that this matter was not as serious as they'd imagined yet. After all, the volcanoes were still erupting, and the probability of the strange races coming out at this time is not necessarily very large.
Right now, this was the only way that the Evil Monarch Jun Mo Xie could comfort himself.
Without saying anything, both of them increased their speed.
There was clearly still a large distance until they reached, but the thick smell of blood could already be detected. One had to know, that the wind level now could be considered as a Grade 9 hurricane! Furthermore, both of them were flying upwind and was practically being pushed forward by the wind! But despite all this, they could still smell the heavy pungent bloody smell!
Mei Xue Yan's expression turned even more grave as she gritted her teeth and flew forward with all her might.
All of a sudden, she froze in midair as she looked helplessly into the distance. Then, she cried aloud. "Little Eagle!"
Jun Mo Xie also looked up, and his pupils instantly shrunk as his lips trembled.
A cloud of blood rose into the air from the far distance, congealing into a magnificent eagle that covered the sky. The metallic wings, sharp beak, and deadly talons framed a pair of incredibly proud eyes. Turning around, the eagle flew towards the edge of the sky!
In the blink of an eye, it'd already disappeared into the thick clouds!
Mei Xue Yan raised her head and looked dumbly at the giant blood eagle. Then, she cried out in a heart rending manner and trembled fiercely, almost falling out of the sky. Righting herself immediately, she shot out like an arrow, flying forward with all her might! Her speed had actually reached an unimaginable level!
Jun Mo Xie's face also turned green instantly, and his eyes became as red as blood!
The Eagle King... has passed?
His body flashed, and he unleashed the Yin Yang Escape to its full power as he chased after her!
In the huge battlefield, the bloody and chaotic battle had finally come to an end!
Silence!
Plumes of smoke rose up everywhere, and countless body parts littered the ground. Severed heads rolled about on the ground, stirred by the fierce winds, their eyes still wide, etched with the looks of fear and hatred that their owners experienced only moments ago.
A suffocating smell of blood so thick it threatened to choke the lungs of the living, hung heavily in the air!
This was no longer just an ordinary battlefield. This was more reminiscent of a battle between gods and devils, heralding an apocalypse!
The Bear Tribe warriors, no more than a thousand of them, had formed a large circle as they knelt down towards the center! They were guarding their King who had fallen into an unconscious state from grief, and they were guarding the Eagle King who had sacrificed himself, showing him the highest respect and honor!
No one howled, and no one cried. A mist of blood hung heavily on the battlefield, but it was entirely silent, like the realms of ghosts and spirits. This was a silence that was difficult to describe with words, and was so suffocating that it was hard to breathe. The heaviness of this pressure seemed to want to crush the hearts of men!
Suddenly, a shrill cry rang out from the air!
All the Bear Tribe warriors raised their heads together as they looked towards the source of the sound In an instant, their eyes were filled with great emotion!
That was Elder Sister's voice!
Elder sister is here!
A white shadow flashed, and Mei Xue Yan descended from the sky like a meteor. The air pressure from her landing caused even the large rocks on the ground to fly into the sky. When she landed, even with Mei Xue Yan's cultivation, she still stumbled a few steps.
However, she did not slow down at all as she ran towards the group of bears!
She was running too quickly, to the point where even the scarf she wore on her head was blown away. Her beautiful long hair floated in the wind, but she hadn't even realized it.
When she reached the group, she suddenly stopped.
There was no other reason. She... was afraid!
She was scared that she would see something that she was not willing to see!
The Bear Tribe warriors looked silently at her, and even these normally slow witted bears completely understood what she felt in that moment. All of their eyes welled up with tears, but they didn't speak.
Mei Xue Yan's heart also dropped instantly into an endless abyss, sinking deeper and deeper...
"Clear the path!" Mei Xue Yan's voice trembled heavily, and her body shook visibly. "Tell me, what the hell happened here? Where are the other brothers? Where are the Eagle Tribe brothers? And where are the eight Seniors?"
