Chapter 1087: Chapter 788: Blood Clan Ballad (Part 1)

Shen Li’s heart trembled, the familial bond lost for many years surged within him, causing his emotions to be both turbulent and bitter.

He very much wanted to see his mother again, to know if her condition had improved and whether she had regained her memory.

He collected his emotions, squinting those beautiful fox-like eyes somewhat unfriendly at Shu, who was present.

As a mysterious outsider, Shu was rather perceptive, and self-consciously said, "Ahem~ You chat first, I’ll go outside and check if any Divine Hall people are coming over."

After speaking, Shu tactfully left.

Shen Li immediately set up an Energy Barrier around the area, ensuring no one was secretly watching, before letting Shen Tang open the Space.

The two entered the Space together.

Three people were settled inside the Space.

One was Wu Wei, whom they rescued from prison. To avert trouble, Shen Tang used spiritual power to force her into slumber, planning to hand her over directly once back at Sky City.

Xue Yinzhou had also been sleeping in the Space.

It had been over a month since he fell into slumber, and I wondered how Xiao Xue’s situation was, whether they had completely recovered.

Shen Tang took a detour to check on Xue Yinzhou, but unexpectedly—Xue Yinzhou was gone!

The room was empty, the bed void of anyone.

The entire room was filled with a black mist, a mist imbued with a familiar yet extremely dangerous energy aura!

The Black Fog was exceptionally domineering, even Shen Tang, as the master of the Space, could not enter. Any attempt to approach would result in being attacked and corroded by this black mist.

Like earlier, without defense, she had entered, only to have half of her body directly devoured along with flesh and bones by the Black Fog!

Fortunately, she possessed top-level Healing Ability, quickly withdrew and restored her body.

The Black Fog remained like a Devil ready to devour people, still attempting to attack her further.

"Be careful, don’t come near."

Shen Li quickly pulled Shen Tang behind him, raised a hand to form an energy barrier, warding off the Black Fog’s attack.

Shen Li stared at the Black Fog ahead, utterly shocked, even he hadn’t expected such an occurrence.

"Xiao Tang’er, are you okay?" he turned around, looking anxiously at Shen Tang.

"I’m fine." Shen Tang’s injuries had healed, not affecting the fundamental.

She only stared intently at the chaotic Black Fog, frantically asking the System in her mind, "What’s the situation? Can you check what happened recently inside?"

The System was also dumbfounded, attempted a scan, but quickly shook its head regrettably, [Sorry Host, the Devouring Power is too strong, any energy that delves in is instantly swallowed, I cannot conduct detection.]

Shen Tang’s heart clenched harshly.

Could it be, Xue Yinzhou ultimately failed to control the Devouring Power, instead being...

Shen Li saw the female’s face turn pale instantly, her hands trembling coldly, hurriedly embraced her, gently comforting, "Don’t overthink, things won’t be that bad. Yin Zhou doesn’t encounter trouble easily, we should trust him."

Shen Li seemed gentle but was actually extremely proud.

He was born the most noble of the Heavenly Fox Royal Family, possessed top-tier talent and strength, had been the ruler of a powerful nation, an existence others could hardly reach.

The innate pride was in his bones.

Among the Beast Husbands, the only one he felt threatened by, truly considered an equal opponent, was likely Xue Yinzhou.

Shen Li believed, with that snake’s strength, absolutely impossible to fall here.

This was an acknowledgment of a worthy adversary.

"Though swallowing power is astonishingly powerful, it’s not uncontrollable. This should be the precursor to Xue Yinzhou’s breakthrough... I experienced a similar state during my breakthrough."

Speaking, Shen Li’s eyes flashed a trace of dark light, his fingers subconsciously clenched slightly.

At that time, he was hunted by the Divine Hall, fell to the bottom of a cliff, survived a desperate situation, still remembers that fear more daunting than near-death.

Then he couldn’t control his own power, Destructive Fire engulfed him entirely, the whole cliff bottom becoming a sea of fire.

He was in the depths of the sea of fire, enduring the torment of being devoured by ten thousand flames, nearly incinerated to ashes.

At the time, he didn’t even know if he was alive or dead, the biggest regret before death was not being able to say a proper goodbye to Shen Tang. A century later, even his bones couldn’t rest in the same grave with her.

Luckily, Heaven granted him another chance. ℴ

Of course, these matters were long past, no longer meaningful to discuss further.
