Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Some People Can Only Be Passersby

Zhu Fei felt a sense of emptiness in his heart as his gaze was once again drawn in the direction of Dong Miaoxuan.

Yet, the moment he looked over, his pupils immediately contracted, and his heart jolted violently.

He saw the plane Dong Miaoxuan was on suddenly began to shake violently; even more terrifying was the fierce flames that ignited at the tail of the aircraft!

In an instant, the entire plane began to plummet, tearing through the clouds and hurtling towards the ocean below!

Screams, cries of shock, sobs, and the wails of despair filled the entire cabin, merging into a cacophony of terror.

Every face was marked with fright, despair, and helplessness, as if the end of the world had arrived, their cries echoing incessantly throughout the cabin.

Dong Miaoxuan, however, sat staring blankly at everything unfolding before her, her eyes empty and unfocused.

It wasn’t until a while later that she seemed to think of something; a bitter smile unfurled at the corner of her mouth as she turned her head to look out the window, facing the rapidly changing scenery with an expression that surprisingly seemed to convey relief.

"No!"

Zhu Fei’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot; for some reason, the bitter smile on Dong Miaoxuan’s lips and the relief in her eyes provoked in him an indescribable grief.

As if hearing Zhu Fei’s anguished cry, Dong Miaoxuan, who had been gazing at the passing scenery, suddenly lifted her head.

Her eyes, by now misty with a layer of moisture, seemed as if they could penetrate through the layers of space, reaching all the way to where Zhu Fei was.

She stared unwaveringly, just gazing, gazing...

Until the plane finally crashed into the ocean, the flames engulfing the entire aircraft. Only then did Dong Miaoxuan’s figure completely disappear from Zhu Fei’s sight.

...

"Brother Zhu! Brother Zhu! What’s wrong with you? Wake up! Please wake up!"

Shui Biyun’s urgent cries suddenly reached his ears. Zhu Fei gasped for breath, feeling an oppressive tightness in his chest. When he raised his hand to his face, he found his cheeks completely soaked with tears, tears that had fallen without his noticing.

What was that just now? An illusion of my own? Or was it real?

Zhu Fei’s pupils were dilated, and Dong Miaoxuan’s bitter and relieved expression flashed through his mind repeatedly, as if a sharp knife were relentlessly slicing his heart, the pain nearly suffocating him.

This sensation persisted for a good while before Zhu Fei gradually came back to his senses.

He saw the anxious Shui Biyun at his side and couldn’t help but smile ruefully, shaking his head, "I’m fine, Biyun. Let’s go."

With that, Zhu Fei didn’t bother to explain further. He took Shui Biyun by the hand and directly activated the protective power of the Yellow Heaven Umbrella, moving swiftly through the void.

At this point, he had no desire whatsoever to continue training.

He only wanted to reach the third layer as quickly as possible, to leave this overwhelmingly oppressive place.

Little did he know, as he moved through the void with Shui Biyun in tow.

On the other side of the world, above the ocean, flames shot up a hundred meters into the air, and the constant rumble of explosions were unceasing.

And amidst this conflagration, a point of white light suddenly leapt out, wrapping around a faint silhouette; it was Dong Miaoxuan, unmistakable!

Her eyes were tightly closed, and the white Jade Pendant on her chest emitted intense spatial fluctuations.

Gradually, the spatial fluctuations became more and more violent, and ultimately, a black crack appeared directly in the void.

If a Cultivation powerhouse were here now, they would be astonished to discover that behind the black space rift lay the Xuanhuang Continent!

With a "swoosh," the white Jade Pendant suddenly surged toward the heavens. It enveloped Dong Miaoxuan in light that flashed briefly before she plunged directly into the black rift!

...

Assisted by the Yellow Heaven Umbrella, Zhu Fei brought Shui Biyun with him. Despite unavoidable encounters with various Illusion Realms during their journey, with his own Five Elements Divine Eye and Innate Divine Ability of the Five Elements Heavens Lock, roughly a couple of hours later, they finally reached the end of the invisible staircase.

As soon as they stepped onto the third level of the Multi-treasure Xuantower, Zhu Fei and Shui Biyun immediately felt that the jade cards they used to enter the tower had turned green.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered the numbers "three" and "four" respectively etched on the surface of their jade cards.

Could these numbers indicate their sequence of entry to the third floor of the tower?

Almost simultaneously, the same thought occurred to Zhu Fei and Shui Biyun.

They exchanged glances, and Shui Biyun was the first to smile and say, "Brother Zhu, I really owe you thanks for this incident."

From the implication of her words, there seemed to be an intention to part ways with Zhu Fei.

Zhu Fei could certainly hear the subtext, and he had not forgotten their initial agreement.

He thought for a moment, casually looked around the mist-shrouded space, and smiled, shaking his head, "Don’t mention it, helping you was something we had agreed on earlier."

He paused slightly, then took out a Jade Talisman from his own belongings and handed it to Shui Biyun, "Take this Level 6 Space-Evasion Talisman. If you encounter any danger, you’ll have some protection. If there’s nothing else, then let’s say our farewells here."

With those words, Zhu Fei gave a carefree smile to Shui Biyun and took the lead, stepping away and gradually vanishing into the distant mist.

In this world, some people are destined only to be passersby in your life.

Since Shui Biyun had her secrets, and she showed the intent to act alone, Zhu Fei would not dwell on it, nor would he interfere too much.

He just needed to handle his own affairs; being clear in his conscience was enough.

Watching Zhu Fei’s receding figure, Shui Biyun held the Level 6 Space-Evasion Talisman and gently bit her lip, feeling an inexplicable twinge of regret.

Had she done something wrong? He had helped her so much, yet she was still concealing things from him?

With this thought, Shui Biyun quickly shook her head.

The Sect was currently in decline; there were secrets she needed to guard carefully, secrets that could not be lightly shared with others. Sect interests came before all else. Even if she felt somewhat guilty toward Zhu Fei, she would have to wait for an opportunity in the future to repay him.

With resolute determination, Shui Biyun stopped lingering, her delicate body disappeared in an instant.

...

After parting with Shui Biyun, Zhu Fei walked alone on the so-called third level of the tower.

The environment here, completely different from the first two levels, was shrouded in fog everywhere. The naked eye could hardly see anything, and even Divine Sense was somewhat affected; its range was nearly more than halved compared to a normal environment.

Zhu Fei aimlessly wandered, his mind occasionally flashing with images of Dong Miaoxuan’s bitter yet liberated expression, leaving him feeling somewhat lost.

However, what he had not noticed was that in the void behind him, subtle ripples suddenly began to undulate, slowly and silently ’pressing’ closer toward him!
