Chapter 569: Chapter 570 Battle Concludes_1

"What is that?!"

Guo Huai, surprised, watched the black wooden ship breaking through the earth, with Black Mist smothering everything below it. Any attack landing on the mist beneath the ship vanished without causing the slightest ripple.

"Ding—Nether Cross’s ultimate move."

"Nether Cross’s ultimate move is that exaggerated?"

Watching the massive ship block a small part of the sky, Guo Huai didn’t know what to say. At this moment, Xiao Ji caught up with the gradually departing ship. Liu Wenli took a look at Feng Yuan, who had returned to his original state, and said in a low voice,

"This must deplete a lot of your energy, right?"

"It’s nothing."

Feng Yuan used the Sickle standing upright to support himself from falling, while the Mountain Bandits continued pursuing Feng Yuan and Xiao Ji until they gradually disappeared into the high sky before they could only give up helplessly.

"We won."

Feng Yuan looked at the Guard’s Flame Dragon lying on the ground and said calmly, barely opening his eyes. The Guard’s Flame Dragon looked at Feng Yuan and the White Wolf Deity with a complex expression, sheathed the Wolf God Giant Sword, and turned to leave without looking back. Before he left, he said in a low voice,

"Like this, you can’t protect them at all. You don’t understand what they are really trying to do."

Watching Feng Yuan and the White Wolf Deity disappear into the mist, the surrounding ice, melting slowly in the flames, snuffed out the fire. The Guard’s Flame Dragon shed a hot tear and said,

"I understand, but I didn’t want to see everything he had worked hard for disappear like smoke..."

"You always call me a deity, but where, after all, is the deity... Can you tell me... what exactly I should do..."

Feng Yuan looked at the walls of Great Li City, affected by the battle, and said with a laugh,

"It seems we can’t enter the city for a while. It would be no fun if another conflict broke out~"

"Father, has the battle... ended?"

The Third Prince asked tentatively in a low voice, and the King of Great Li, with an expressionless face, looked at the gradually calming sky. It took a long while before he said,

"It has ended."

"It lost."

"Haha, I knew that Lord Flame Dragon would certainly..."

A Noble, just getting excited, noticed the King of Great Li’s expression wasn’t right, his face changed color as if realizing something, and he tentatively said,

"Could it be that Lord Flame Dragon..."

"Wolf Mountain Hall won; I didn’t expect they had been hiding their strength all along."

"This..."

"It doesn’t matter. If they really dare do anything, Great Li is not to be trifled with."

"Still not good enough~ Still too weak~"

Watching Feng Yuan jeering at him from atop the Stele, ’Mo Li’ clenched his teeth and glared at the other party, as those openly monitoring Feng Yuan showed signs of excitement.

Jumping down from the Stele, Feng Yuan waved his Sickle, and after a strange wailing sound, the Steles gradually turned to ash. The dark clouds blocking the sky started to dissipate, revealing a glimpse of the sunset.

"Tired from fighting, time to go eat something~"

’Mo Li’ glared hatefully at the departing figure of Feng Yuan; the land, which seemed turned over, was silently recounting the intense battle that had just taken place here.

’Zi Mo’ nudged ’Mo Li’ gently, seemingly trying to offer him comfort.

At the city gates, the soldiers looked on with mixed feelings as Feng Yuan slowly walked into the city. From his clean and tidy clothes, they could guess what the outcome had been.

"There shouldn’t be any Mountain Bandits left around."

Lying on Xiao Ji’s back, Feng Yuan said with a smile. Busy at work, Mo Ling glanced at the weary Feng Yuan and asked,

"What are you really thinking?"

"Me? I think it’s quite fun to go crazy once in a while~ At least now, if we give it our all, they won’t suspect us~"

"But is it worth it?"

Recalling the urgent report that had come in, Mo Ling didn’t know how to respond to Feng Yuan, and he also understood why Feng Yuan’s strength seemed a bit off when they encountered those Mountain Bandits before, and even more so, maintaining full strength while fighting intensely in two places would have been strange.

Guo Huai glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"You just cling on without moving."

Xiao Ji glared at Guo Huai somewhat angrily, while Feng Yuan chuckled and said,

"I’m tired, and besides, wasn’t I the one always busy with setting up camp before? Now I’m just sneakily lazing around."

"This should be enough."

Liu Wenli tossed the prey onto the ground, and the Telekinetic Brown Bear threw the large wild boar it had dragged over to the spot and followed Liu Wenli to hide to one side. Seeing so much game, Mo Li grimaced and directed the guards to deal with it together.

"Why do I feel that your attitude is somewhat strange?"

A hand listlessly stroked Xiao Ji’s feathers, and Feng Yuan curiously said to Liu Wenli, who glanced at Feng Yuan and sized up the crowd. After a moment, she opened her mouth and said,

"I just want to get your help."

"My help?"

Feng Yuan looked at Liu Wenli with interest, and with a glance at Hua Yiyou, Liu Wenli slightly curled her lips in disdain and said,

"You don’t need to keep staring at me; it’s useless."

Hua Yiyou, who had been watching Liu Wenli, smiled faintly and said,

"That may not necessarily be the case, your heart doesn’t seem as calm as you make it out to be."

Liu Wenli coldly laughed and did not respond. Feng Yuan sighed and put down the Dark Ancient Book in his hand and said,

"Quarreling with her now might be a bit premature, especially since you’ve only just started out, while she... "

"Tian Fang, Liu Family, do I need to say more? I’m not someone who knows nothing."

"You!"

Liu Wenli looked at Feng Yuan in surprise, and Mo Ling said with astonishment,

"Isn’t Tian Fang very far from us? Why..."

Glancing at Mo Ling, Feng Yuan said helplessly,

"Tian Fang is much more powerful than Great Li, so the chances of encountering Tian Fang’s people are naturally much greater. And... you want my help, it’s not just for yourself, right?"

Liu Wenli was startled, and kept sizing up Feng Yuan as if trying to see through him. Watching Feng Yuan teasing Liu Wenli, Guo Huai involuntarily sought help from the system.

(Who is she really? I remember Tian Fang is a major nation, right? According to what he’s implying, she seems to be famous?)

"Ding～Searching."

"Ding～Liu Wenli, insufficient data, speculation suggests she may be the mastermind behind the destruction and rebirth of the Tian Fang’s Liu Family. There’s very little recorded about her, and the reasons are unclear."

(That demoness? No way?)

"Ding～You can ask him, but if she is indeed the person in question, I don’t recommend asking in front of her."

Guo Huai curled his lips, of course, he would not be foolish enough to ask Feng Yuan in front of Liu Wenli. Tian Fang’s Liu Family was one of Tian Fang’s prominent families. However, under the scheme laid out by someone labelled a demoness, Tian Fang’s Liu Family went through a complete ruin and renewal. The legitimate lines were dead or scattered because of her machinations, and the bastards didn’t fare much better. Just when everyone thought Tian Fang’s Liu Family was finished,

she took action once more, boosting the almost extinct Liu Family to the position of Tian Fang’s fifth most powerful clan, becoming one of the few families with a scant number of members but a very high status. The various pieces of information that have come down to modern times all indicate that she’s capricious; Guo Huai wouldn’t dare ensure what terrible things might happen if he angered her.

Outside of Great Li City, the region where White Wolf Deity and the Guardian Flame Dragon fought became forbidden ground. Aside from soldiers ordered to check the situation, no one dared to approach that place, where the powers of ice and fire still clashed continuously.

At the Wolf Mountain Hall, Feng Yuan lay atop the White Wolf Deity with a lazy demeanor. Suddenly, Feng Yuan seemed to sense something and raised his head to look outside the door and chuckled,

"Worried about her, aren’t you?"

A humanoid silhouette slowly walked into the backyard, seemingly wary of the White Wolf Deity. Seeing that the silhouette did not continue forward, Feng Yuan sighed and said,

"Although I don’t know exactly what happened to you, if I didn’t want to protect her, I wouldn’t have saved her in the first place."

"Better save your strength; your little bit of power doesn’t impress me. Though I could arrange a meeting between you and her... I believe you certainly wouldn’t want to do that, would you?"

"I really don’t understand you. Why would you choose this path?"

"Liu Wenli? You might as well forget it. She’s really strong; she orchestrated the succession of Tian Fang’s Liu Family by herself. Even though she was about your age at the time and her methods were a bit naive, do you think, after so many years, she hasn’t improved?"

"What’s more, in your current condition, what can you do?"

After the conversation, the silhouette transformed into myriad butterflies and dissipated within the Wolf Mountain Hall. Feng Yuan smiled, buried his head into the thick fur of the White Wolf Deity, and slowly fell asleep.
