Chapter 384: Chapter 384 The Person I Fear the Most

The floating island was shaking violently with explosions occurring all around. Everything around Lin Xi, was being destroyed step by step. The situation was precarious.

Lin Xi knew that Gu Fan and the others had escaped, which was a great relief to her. She then started to concentrate on all her remaining supernatural power to construct a protective barrier around herself to counter the damage from the explosions as much as possible.

With a loud bang, a massive explosion launched Lin Xi flying. Many things resembling hibernation pods were destroyed, leaving the surroundings in complete disarray.

Lin Xi managed to stand up by leaning against the wall, her head still buzzing. Suddenly, she noticed something carved on the floor, previously concealed by the hibernation pods. But now, with the pods blown away, the carving on the floor was exposed.

It was a drawing of a phoenix spreading its wings, only its body was shaped like the character for ’mystery’. Lin Xi was very familiar with such drawings. Despite the ongoing explosions, she shouted at the top of her voice: "Is the woman with purple hair still here? Answer my question."

The holographic projection of the purple-haired woman appeared before Lin Xi: "What would you like to ask?"

Lin Xi pointed to the drawings on the floor: "Tell me, who left this here? When was it left?"

The purple-haired woman answered: "Three women did. They found this place ten years after the disappearance of Qian Ye and took away three hibernation pods. They also left this drawing."

"You know about Qian Ye, you know my secret." Lin Xi was astonished, feeling as if she’d been seen through by the purple-haired woman.

The purple-haired woman nodded: "Yes, the technology of ancient super civilization is very advanced. I can see your thoughts and I know that you are very afraid of these three women."

"Well, never mind my thoughts. Tell me, what’s the use of them taking the hibernation pods?" Lin Xi was very anxious, feeling a bad premonition.

The purple-haired woman answered again: "These are ancient super civilization hibernation pods, substitutes for eternal life. They can keep people asleep indefinitely, even for a thousand years."

Hearing this, Lin Xi frowned: "In other words, there’s a good chance that those three women have survived to this day with the aid of these hibernation pods."

"There’s a high chance." The purple-haired woman’s answer sent a chill down Lin Xi’s spine, and she gradually became overwhelmed by fear.

Suddenly an evil voice rang out: "It appears you’re very afraid of those three women, Qian Ye. So much so that you’ve chosen to reincarnate to avoid them." With eager anticipation, the owner of the voice, walked into the room.

Seeing all this, Lin Xi was very surprised: "It’s you, you’re still here."

With a laid-back expression, the owner answered: "What’s the difference? After all, I can’t die. I need to make sure that everything here is destroyed after the self-destruction system is activated."

Lin Xi frowned: "So you activated the self-destruction system."

The purple-haired woman started to answer: "Yes, it was this man who asked me how to activate the self-destruction system here. It was also him who asked me to find you and show you the way out."

"Ah!" Lin Xi was taken aback, somewhat in disbelief, she looked at the man mysteriously.

The owner looked nonchalant: "You should thank Gu Fan. He gave me an opportunity, and I gave you guys an opportunity. We’re even."

At that moment, the owner noticed the drawing on the floor. His face turned pale in shock: "Shennv Xuanhui, they’ve been here too. Were they also here to seek eternal life?"

"Oh, you know Shennv Xuanhui too. Have you met those three women?" Lin Xi was shocked. It was a rare sight to see fear in the man’s eyes.

The man | gathered his composure, and then nodded: "At that time, I wanted to go to Qianye Country to find you and recover the map. But you made the entire Qianye Country disappear. I returned empty-handed. On my way back, I ran into the three women, and we had a fight. I lost terribly. If it weren’t for my eternal life, they wouldn’t have been able to kill me. I wouldn’t even have had the chance to escape."

Lin Xi nodded: "They are indeed powerful. You didn’t lose unjustly."

The boss then became intrigued: "By the looks of it, those three women were after you. What did you do to offend them? You made Qianye Country disappear to avoid them, didn’t you?"

"Indeed, you couldn’t defeat them. How could I possibly stand against them? All I could do was run." Saying this, Lin Xi smirked at her own self-deprecation.

The boss glanced around the room and furrowed his brow: "Purple-haired lass, answer me. What were those three women doing here? Were they also here in pursuit of eternal life?"

"No, they didn’t discover the secret of eternal life, as part of it was taken away by the Eternal Life Clan. But they did find the hibernation pods." The purple-haired woman’s answer relieved the boss, as it revealed that those three women didn’t obtain immortality. However, one part of her revelation left him on edge: "What’s a hibernation pod and what happens when one gets it?"

The purple-haired woman explained, and the owner became even more anxious after understanding her answer: "So, those three women might still be alive. It’s just unknown when they’d awaken from the hibernation pods."

The purple-haired woman nodded, and both Lin Xi and the boss sank, this was not what they wanted to face.

Upon thinking about it, the boss eventually made peace with it: "Well, it doesn’t matter. If those three women are looking for someone, it’s not me, it’s you, Lin Xi. I won’t concern myself with that. You’d better look after yourself. It’s crucial that you survive this. As for me, I don’t care either way since I’m immortal."

"Thank you for the reminder, I’ll do my best to survive." Despite her worries about the three women from the Shennv Xuanhui, Lin Xi’s immediate concern was surviving the relentless explosions. She concentrated, strengthening the protective barrier around her to counter the impact of one explosion after another.

"Anyway, this time, let’s call it a draw. As long as there’s no conflict of interest in the future, we’ll leave each other alone." With that, the boss turned to leave, waving his hand in farewell. He seemed utterly calm amidst the explosive chaos thanks to his immortality.

This wasn’t the case for Lin Xi as her supernatural power was finite. Each explosion weakened her protective barrier a bit more. The incessant explosions were causing tremendous pressure.

Another intense explosion took place, Lin Xi was struck with a blow that was beyond imagination. She was sent flying and her protective barrier shattered.

"I can’t give in now, I must hold on. If Gu Fan can survive, then so can I. I can’t let it end this way, I simply can’t accept it." Lin Xi stood up, wiped the sweat from her forehead, gritted her teeth, and once again concentrated on forming a protective barrier.
