Chapter 689 - At This Point
Chapter 689: At This Point
If not for the Great Worshipper’s crazy plan, Ding Lin Country could have still enjoyed many more glorious years with their position as Sovereign Country. However, in the blink of an eye, it was facing destruction and the death of its citizens.
At this point, who could possibly have the ability to turn things around?
When Ding Lin’s great army retreated, waves of cheers rang out in Iron Stone Fortress.
Ling Chuxi and the rest walked down Cloud Watching Peak. Earlier, when Lin Cangbo and Mister Cao had used their bodies to shield her, they had taken quite a hit, but after taking some pills, they were fine.
“Oh yeah, what happened to that Blood-eyed Bone Wolf?” Ling Chuxi suddenly recalled that the peculiar beast had disappeared. It was a Level 9 monster beast, so its body was a treasure. It might have even been housing a Level 9 monster core.
“The moment Chu Fengyun died, it ran away,” Mister Mo replied. His attention had never once left that Bone Wolf.
“Ran away? Isn’t it said that a contracted monster beast will follow its master, not leaving even after its master’s death? Why did it run away?” Ling Chuxi asked in confusion.
“That monster beast was contracted through the Blood Contract technique, which is different from an ordinary monster beast contract. I don’t know much about the Blood Contract technique, so I’m not sure what is going on either. Perhaps Chu Fengyun was telling the truth, and the one who used the Blood Contract Skill is another person that he had just taken advantage of,” Mo Kongyuan said contemplatively.
“Oh.” Ling Chuxi frowned. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like the Blood-eyed Bone Wolf was odd. Chu Fengyun had consumed his True Essence to use the skill to control it, yet it had not moved and instead looked at her in awe. What exactly was the reason?
Not long after Ling Chuxi and the rest left, Qing Lingyan’s figure appeared at the top of Cloud Watching Peak. This time, there was a young man with an extraordinary aura standing beside her.
“Chu Fengyun, you trash! You couldn’t even kill that despicable person! You really are trash!” Looking at Ling Chuxi and the rest as they walked away, Qing Lingyan snarled as if she was crazy.
“Lingyan, you know her?” The young man asked with a frown, his gaze heated.
“Of course I know that despicable person! My greatest wish is to personally kill her,” Qing Lingyan hissed hatefully.
“Lingyan, do you want me to help you?” The young man asked eagerly in a bid to gain favor.
“There’s no need for us to take action,” Qing Lingyan said coldly. “Did you see that Blood-eyed Bone Wolf? That is one of the legendary blood beasts of the Blood Beast Sect from the Eastern Tribe of the Miao Borders. I never would have thought that Chu Fengyun was close to the Blood Beast Sect. If the Blood Beast Sect finds out that she killed Chu Fengyun, she will definitely die a very miserable death ”
“The Blood Beast Sect!” The young man’s expression instantly changed. Although he tried very hard to cover it up, there was still a hint of terror in his eyes. He looked at Ling Chuxi as if he was looking at a dead man.
The little lady was definitely marked for death.
This young man was no normal person either, and also belonged to a sect. However, for him to be so terrified at the mere mention of the Blood Beast Sect made it clear that the sect was certainly extraordinary.
Ding Lin Country hurriedly withdrew their army. After confirming the battle reports of Shang Yuan, Dong Xing, Feng Ze, and Wan Chuan, Nan Xia also launched a counterattack. Under the five-nation coalition’s iron cavalry, Ding Lin country was defeated. As for the mighty deterrence of the five guardians, Nan Xia and the other countries did not suffer any losses, but Ding Lin’s Wu Feng Hall took a major hit. In desperation, Ding Lin’s army could only retreat to the outskirts of the capital, barely alive.
