Chapter 149 We must look forward and head to the Star Dou Great Forest!
"What...what's going on?!"
A member of the Soul Clan collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.
"Elder Hunjun... Elder Hundan... their aura... has vanished!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Another Soul Clan powerhouse shouted hoarsely:
"They are Battle Saints! Who can kill a Battle Saint?!"
"It's the lightning..."
Someone murmured, their face deathly pale:
"It's that purple lightning..."
"Could it be... divine punishment?!"
I don't know who uttered that word.
In an instant, everyone's psychological defenses completely collapsed.
Divine punishment!
They slaughtered living beings and occupied the world, finally angering the heavens!
"Run! Run!"
"Return to the Battlefield! Return to the Soul Realm!"
"It's too dangerous here! Even the Battle Saints are dead! Staying here is just suicide!"
No one cared about finding any opportunities anymore.
No one thought about conquering Douluo Continent anymore.
escape!
Get as far away as possible!
One after another, figures rushed frantically toward the spatial rift, scrambling to squeeze in, afraid that if they were a step too slow, they would be caught up by the purple lightning.
The people of Douluo Continent stared in disbelief at this scene.
Watching those once arrogant black-robed demons flee in disarray like stray dogs.
silence.
After a moment of deathly silence, it suddenly erupted!
"Heaven has eyes!!!"
An old man knelt down with a thud, looked up to the sky and roared, tears streaming down his face.
"Father! Mother! Did you see that! Those demons are dead! They're all dead!"
A young man was holding his parents' memorial tablets and crying his heart out.
"God has finally opened his eyes!"
"Retribution! This is retribution!"
Some laughed, some cried, and some laughed and cried at the same time. The entire Douluo Continent was plunged into a sea of ecstasy.
But after the initial euphoria, a question arose in my mind—
Who exactly is it?
Who stepped in and wiped out these demons?
"It's a cloud boat!"
Someone pointed to the sky:
"There must be some trick hidden in the cloud boat! Have you forgotten that earth-shattering attack before?"
"wrong!"
More people shook their heads:
"If Yunzhou had this ability, why didn't he do it sooner? Why wait until now?"
"Then who do you think it is?"
"I guess... it's probably those two people who just returned from the prehistoric world!"
"Old Jack? And that little girl named Na'er?"
"Yes! It must be a method they brought back from the primordial era! Otherwise, how could lightning appear as soon as they returned?"
The more they thought about it, the more they realized it made sense.
In an instant, countless gazes were cast toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
That's where the lightning finally disappeared.
...
Inside the cloud boat.
Shui Yue'er, Qiu Ruoshui, and the others stood on the deck, gazing at the streaks of lightning in the distance, speechless for a long time.
Until the last bolt of lightning went out, the Soul Clan fled in disarray.
Qiu Ruoshui suddenly collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.
"That's great...that's great..."
She covered her face, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Our Douluo World... is finally saved..."
Shuiyue walked over and gently hugged her.
"Ruoshui..."
"Do you know, Moon?"
Qiu Ruoshui raised her head, her face streaked with tears:
"I haven't had a good night's sleep since those demons came."
"When I close my eyes, all I see are images of them slaughtering their fellow citizens..."
"I hate myself for not being able to protect them!"
Shuiyue'er's eyes also reddened.
She understands.
They all understand.
Although the cloud boat could protect them, those who were slaughtered were their own people!
They could only watch helplessly.
Watching as Tiandou City turned into a sea of fire.
Watching as blood flowed like a river in Xingluo City.
Watching countless people die at the hands of those men in black robes.
It's not that they don't want to help.
It's because we lack the strength.
They had already paid the price for the Blood Burning Pill once.
Even so, the guilt in my heart has not lessened at all.
"Stop talking..."
Shuiyue hugged her tightly:
"It's all in the past... those demons have finally been driven away..."
"When my sister and Xue Di come back, we can... explain things to them..."
Before she could finish speaking, her voice choked with emotion.
She looked into the cabin.
Hyotei and Yu Hairou lay there quietly, their faces as pale as paper, still unconscious.
They paid a terrible price in that battle.
Joy was instantly overshadowed by sorrow.
Everyone fell silent.
"Miss Water, don't be too sad!"
The voice of Gu Nanhai suddenly rang out.
He walked over with several members of the ancient clan, his expression complex.
To be honest, he's filled with gratitude right now.
Thank goodness!
Fortunately, we didn't attack those natives back then!
otherwise...
He glanced at the purple lightning streaks disappearing into the sky and couldn't help but shiver.
Those were several elders of the Soul Clan!
Each and every one of them is no weaker than Hun Miesheng!
It's gone just like that!
Gu Nanhai cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, his tone much more deferential than before:
"I have a suggestion."
"Elder Gu, please speak."
"Those two people who just returned from the primordial wilderness should be in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest."
Gu Nanhai pointed to the distance:
"I think we should go and pay them a visit."
"Perhaps they have a miraculous cure for Hyotei and Hairou."
Shuiyue'er's eyes lit up.
right!
The primordial chaos!
Old Jack and Na'er just came back from the prehistoric era; they might actually have a solution!
But then she hesitated.
She could guess some of what Gu Nanhai was thinking.
He was also a member of the Doupo sect.
Now that the Soul Clan has been wiped out, he is afraid of being implicated and wants to use their relationship to get closer to them.
But then I thought about it again—
So what?
She didn't care about being used as long as she could save Hyotei and Hairou.
"Elder Gu is right."
She nodded:
"Let's go now!"
"But... the Soul Clan just escaped, what if...?"
"rest assured."
Gu Nanhai waved his hand:
"Those stray dogs, they wouldn't dare come back even if they had a hundred lives."
Besides—
He glanced outside the cloud boat:
"With me here, I will ensure your safety."
Without further hesitation, Shui Yue'er immediately urged the cloud boat to change direction and head straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.
...
Elemental City.
The shadow overhead moved away, and the sunlight shone down again.
But Ma Hongjun's heart remained shrouded in gloom.
"They... went after those demons?"
He gazed at the departing cloud boat, his voice hoarse.
Flanders patted him on the shoulder:
"They should be heading towards the Star Dou Great Forest. Those two people who just came back are there."
"Why didn't you do this sooner..."
Ma Hongjun suddenly roared:
"If only they had acted sooner! If only they had used this method sooner!"
"Xiangxiang won't die! Shrek won't die..."
He couldn't continue.
Flander's eyes also reddened.
Shrek Academy, the academy he founded, is the result of countless hours of hard work.
Now, only ruins remain.
But as the dean, he couldn't fall down for the sake of the remaining people!
"Hongjun."
He patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder, his voice hoarse:
"What's done is done, crying won't help."
"But as long as you're alive, there's hope."
"The dean is right."
Bai He also came over and patted Ma Hongjun on the other shoulder.
"If Xiangxiang were here, she wouldn't want to see you like this either."
"And as long as you keep getting stronger, maybe in the future... you can revive Xiangxiang!"
Ma Hongjun lowered his head, his shoulders trembling slightly.
After a long while, he raised his head, his eyes red-rimmed, but no longer tearful.
"I see!"
Flander looked at him, feeling both heartache and relief.
He paused, then suddenly said:
"When Shui Bing'er comes back, I'll shamelessly ask her for you too."
"He is a disciple of the Daoist Master, he must have a way."
"I was her dean for a period of time... I should... be able to give her some face, right?"
His tone was uncertain, but his gaze was firm.
Ma Hongjun looked at him, wanting to say something, but in the end he just nodded emphatically.
