CHAPTER 884: 884 RONG SHI, COME OUT! [2ND UPDATE]
Upon hearing this sentence, Envoy Fu Tu and Envoy Guiyi’s expressions were terrified to the extreme.
They wanted to flee back to Atlantis, seeking refuge under the protection of Supreme Wisdom, but they were completely incapable of action.
Their meridians in their legs had been severed by the Sword Qi dispersed from the blade of Ye Wanlan when she killed Envoy Zhuanlun, leaving them collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
The illusory shadow of Supreme Wisdom had also been cut back to Atlantis by Ye Wanlan’s blade, leaving them calling to heaven with no answer, calling to earth with no sound!
Envoy Fu Tu, who had been arrogant all his life, found it difficult to accept that he would have to bow his head to a human he had previously looked down upon.
Yet he didn’t wish to die; he wanted to live to see the arrival of the Final Day, watching as these tiny creatures known as humans crawled at his feet.
Envoy Guiyi displayed a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth; he had originally been in seclusion but came to Yunjing upon Fu Tu’s orders.
If only...
But there was no "if only."
Ye Wanlan nodded slowly towards Yue Zheng.
Yue Zheng understood, speaking softly: "Whatever we’re going to ask you, just answer."
Penglai Magic, Heart Inquiry Skill!
The Heart Inquiry Skill is actually the most basic Penglai Magic; all disciples of Mount Penglai are familiar with it.
However, the stronger one’s mana, the stronger the Heart Inquiry Skill.
Both Envoy Fu Tu and Envoy Guiyi were severely injured, easily falling under Yue Zheng’s control.
Ye Wanlan asked, "Where is my father?"
"He... we don’t know where he is." Envoy Fu Tu answered mechanically, "Twenty years ago, our god commanded us to send people to assassinate your father, but all those sent died, and your father disappeared without a trace."
Ye Wanlan’s gaze deepened.
"From the information we’ve received, your mother seems to be an extremely powerful individual, but her identity and background remain completely unknown to us." Envoy Fu Tu, eyes vacant, continued, "It’s possible she saved your father and hid him away, but it’s also possible they’re truly dead."
"But you didn’t find the bodies of my parents at the scene of the fight." Ye Wanlan’s eyelashes lowered, "What exactly is the Final Day?"
Upon hearing this question, Envoy Fu Tu’s face twitched, clearly resisting the pressure of the Heart Inquiry Skill exerted by Yue Zheng.
"The Final Day is, is..." Envoy Fu Tu gritted his teeth, his entire body trembling.
He seemed to be enduring immense pain, as a strange marking appeared on his forehead, intermittently emitting a black glow.
Envoy Fu Tu let out an angry roar to the sky: "The Final Day is the day you all die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "boom," and his body exploded.
"Watch out!" Xiang Shaoyu promptly blocked in front of Ye Wanlan and Yue Zheng to prevent the flying debris from striking them.
The sudden explosion shocked everyone.
"Did Envoy Fu Tu plan to harm Miss Ye with a self-detonation?" Xiang Shaoyu brushed off the fragments on his clothes, his brows furrowed, "Miss Ye, they are insidious and deceitful, be cautious."
"It doesn’t matter." Ye Wanlan shook her head gently, "He didn’t voluntarily self-detonate."
Yue Zheng pondered briefly: "The marking that flashed on his forehead just now resembles the Art and Method used by Beiming Sect to control zombies."
"Yes." Ye Wanlan said casually, "He also bears the imprint of Supreme Wisdom, so with a single thought, Supreme Wisdom can decide his life or death."
"I see." Xiang Shaoyu’s gaze was cold, "Claiming to be superior like a Demigod, but ultimately just a pawn among thousands."
"However, he probably wasn’t lying." Ye Wanlan exhaled softly, "With the arrival of the Final Day, we might all..."
Before finishing her sentence, she felt a wave of dizziness and started to collapse.
"Ah Lan!"
"Miss Ye!"
"Little Junior Sister!"
"You all..." Ye Wanlan slowly raised her head, "You’re all here, I’m relieved. Let me sleep for a while, just for a while..."
Completely exhausted, the knife she was holding dropped with a "clang" onto the ground, and she fell completely into a coma.
The entire Yunjing was thrown into a frantic flurry.
Everyone first sent Ye Wanlan to the Su Family, confirmed she was merely exhausted of Inner Strength, and had fallen asleep, before addressing other matters.
When Ye Wanlan woke up, seven days had already passed.
The battle with the Three Envoys and the illusory shadow of Supreme Wisdom had indeed depleted her significantly.
Not only her Inner Strength but also her Life Essence.
Yet she had to fight, to avenge Yan Tingfeng, and to protect those behind her.
Fortunately, the Three Envoys were dead, Supreme Wisdom retreated, and Shenzhou would have a long period of safety.
But...
Ye Wanlan gazed dazedly out the window.
Some people, will never return.
After an unknown amount of time, a voice sounded.
"How long has Little Junior Sister been like this?" Xie Linyuan asked.
Lin Fanyin sighed, "It’s already been six shichen without food or drink, barely even blinking her eyes."
"If this continues, how could it be bearable?" Yan Shunhua frowned deeply, "This is not good, her body will collapse."
"But we know Ah Lan’s personality." Hua Yingyue said softly, "She is too stubborn."
"Little Yongning..." Xiang Mingyu was deeply sympathetic; she approached, "You... you should grieve, that child... he surely wouldn’t want to see you like this."
Ye Wanlan still didn’t respond, merely sitting quietly.
"Your Highness." Someone gently knocked on the door; it was Rong Shi, who had learned Ye Wanlan’s identity from Yan Tingfeng, "Previously, both the Supreme Elder and I calculated multiple times and predicted Her Royal Highness’s demise, but the Tower Master said..."
This sentence finally brought Ye Wanlan back to reality.
She blinked and asked calmly: "Said what?"
Outside the door, Rong Qi lowered his head, his voice hoarse, arduously speaking: "This sign, displeasing to me, I exchange my life for the Princess."
"..."
Silence enveloped the surroundings.
What a sign displeasing to me.
What an exchange of my life for the Princess.
Every person present had seen great storms, every one was a Dragon and Phoenix among men three hundred years ago.
Yet at this moment, their hearts were all shaken for Yan Tingfeng.
To be able to go this far, to have the capability to go this far, there was only this one Yan Tingfeng.
An incredible young Supreme Martial Arts Master, feared across Jianghu, worshipped by the entire Martial World.
Ye Wanlan closed her eyes, her hands tightly clenched.
After a few seconds, she finally rose.
"Ah Lan!" Hua Yingyue showed extreme concern, "Eat something first, your body is terribly depleted."
But Ye Wanlan didn’t stop, she donned an outer garment and pushed open the door.
Outside were the somewhat constrained Supreme Elder of the Rong family and Rong Shi.
Even though they had served the Tower Master of Shenxiao for a long time, the presence of Princess Yongning before them was overwhelming.
"Rong Shi, come out!" Ye Wanlan suddenly spoke, coldly, "I know you’re there!"
