Chapter 911: Chapter 346: Envoy from Beyond! (2 Updates)

Central Continent, Sky City, Jing Family.

"Jing Hai! What are you doing?" Jing Fengyu blocked Jing Hai, his expression serious.

Jing Hai glanced at him stubbornly and said, "I want to go back to Luoxing City!"

"You can’t go!" Jing Fengyu directly refused.

Anger ignited in Jing Hai’s eyes, and he clenched his fists, exclaiming, "Why can’t I go? I am originally a person of Luoxing City!"

"You are a member of the Jing Family!" Jing Fengyu corrected him.

However, Jing Hai ignored him. Battle intent lit up in his eyes as he said to Jing Fengyu, "Move aside! Today, no matter what, I must leave."

"No! I can’t let you go to your death." Jing Fengyu remained unyielding.

"Move aside!" Jing Hai shouted.

His eyes turned crimson. He hated the person in front of him; they had promised not to interfere with his actions, yet now when his teacher was in trouble, Luoxing City was in trouble, they wouldn’t let him leave.

"Jing Hai, don’t act impulsively. I know you are worried about your teacher, but your teacher is no ordinary person, and she can handle this. If she can’t, what use is there in you going?" Jing Fengyu tried hard to dissuade him.

Jing Hai returned to the Jing Family, confirmed his bloodline, and awakened again. His talent far surpassed his own. Jing Hai now represented the hope of the Jing Family and the future of the Heavenly Communication Master. He couldn’t let Jing Hai go to Luoxing City to die!

"I don’t care! I can’t just think about my safety knowing she is in trouble. I want to go back to Luoxing City and fight alongside everyone! Even if I die, I want to die with them!" Jing Hai stubbornly declared.

Jing Fengyu shook his head helplessly and said to him, "Calm down. The situation hasn’t reached that point yet. Stay and cultivate for now. If Luoxing City truly needs you, then you can go."

"Don’t try to deceive me! I won’t believe you! I’m leaving now." Jing Hai said, his anger and determination evident.

Jing Fengyu slowly lost his patience. He was once proud of the Jing Family, but a battle with Yeti deeply affected his talent. Towards Jing Hai, he believed he had already persuaded him kindly, using all his patience. Yet, this boy was stubborn, when he decided on something, not even eight Demon Beasts could drag him back.

"Fine! Since you want to leave, let me see if you truly have the ability to assist in Luoxing City. If not, stay obediently and don’t add trouble to Mu City Lord!" Jing Fengyu said.

As he finished speaking, four different Demon Beasts emerged from spatial rifts beside him. These beasts were of Divine Beast level, and even in the entire Jing Family, they were very formidable.

After awakening their bloodline, every member of the Jing Family possesses a space for breeding Spirit Beasts. The size of the space varies per person. In Jing Family history, the most talented ancestor could only fit ten Spirit Beasts in his space.

Jing Fengyu’s space could contain eight, but he was very selective, still having four vacant spots, waiting for new Spirit Beasts to join.

Jing Fengyu had set up his formation. Words of advice had failed; now he could only stop him with martial power.

"Jing Hai, take action." Jing Fengyu slightly raised his chin and said to Jing Hai.

Jing Hai tightly pressed his lips, his eyes deep and calm. With Jing Fengyu prepared, he would not hesitate. His back was tense, his eyes fierce, conveying killing intent.

Jing Fengyu was secretly shocked. He wondered how Jing Hai, so young, could gather such strong killing intent. The most terrifying part was that his mind remained unswayed by this murderous aura.

"Do you truly want to fight me?" Jing Hai asked in a deep voice.

Jing Fengyu suddenly felt belittled, as if his pride had been insulted. He frowned and said, "Is there any possibility it isn’t true?"

Jing Hai pressed his lips together and nodded, saying, "Fine! I’ll fight you. If I win, you will let me leave."

"Win first, then talk!" Jing Fengyu snorted.

Jing Hai’s handsome brows furrowed momentarily, and then fifteen Spirit Beasts emerged around him. These Spirit Beasts were of varying levels, unlike Jing Fengyu where each one was a Divine Beast and could transform into human form after Heavenly Tribulation.

Yet, when Jing Hai’s Spirit Beasts appeared, they still shocked Jing Fengyu.

He froze in place, staring at Jing Hai in disbelief.

However, his gaze led Jing Hai to misunderstand, who explained, "I know the Jing Family treats me well. Consider these Spirit Beasts borrowed; I’ll return them after helping my teacher. I’ve been careful not to take them all."

"What did you say?!" Jing Hai’s words made Jing Fengyu’s voice tremble in shock and surprise.

Jing Hai curled his lips slightly, "Initially, I wanted to take all from the Beast Garden, but later thought better of it. I can’t trouble the teacher further."

To take all from the Beast Garden!

Jing Fengyu inhaled sharply. He knew exactly how many Spirit Beasts were in the Beast Garden. There were a total of twenty-seven; Jing Hai could take them all?

Jing Fengyu calmed his troubled feelings and asked solemnly, "How many Spirit Beasts can your breeding space hold?"

Jing Hai didn’t understand why Jing Fengyu asked suddenly, seeming uninterested in fighting. He thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "It should hold fifty."

Fifty... fifty...

Jing Fengyu held his breath, eyes wide open, gazing at Jing Hai as if he were looking at a monster.

At this moment, several figures appeared around them.

They were Elders of the Jing Family, including the Family Head.

Jing Fengyu turned to look at them, the shock in his eyes yet to dissipate. The silent exchange among them was clear; Jing Hai must not come to harm.

"Child, do you really want to go to Luoxing City?" the Family Head of the Jing Family, Jing Fengyu’s father, asked Jing Hai.

Jing Hai nodded resolutely, "Family Head, I know you care for me. Everyone in the Jing Family treats me well, but my master is now being attacked by the Divine Hall. If I don’t go, wouldn’t I become the kind of person who is unfeeling and unjust, disloyal and unfilial? A person who doesn’t care about their master’s life or death, even I wouldn’t respect myself."

The Family Head of the Jing Family showed a look of appreciation, nodding. "Indeed, you are a good child! The essence of a person is to value emotion and righteousness. If one is unfeeling and unrighteous, then they are worse than pigs or dogs. Good, since you wish to go, then go."

"Father!" Jing Fengyu hurriedly said.

But the Family Head raised his hand to interrupt Jing Fengyu’s words, smiling at Jing Hai and said, "Not only can you go, but our Jing Family will also send people to accompany you, to aid Luoxing City."

His decision shocked Jing Fengyu and surprised Jing Hai.

Jing Hai looked carefully at the Family Head of the Jing Family, calmly saying, "Jing Hai thanks the Family Head on behalf of my master."

The Family Head of the Jing Family laughed, "Alright, go prepare well, you set off tomorrow."

Jing Hai pressed his lips together and nodded, turning to leave.

After he had walked away, Jing Fengyu immediately asked, "Father, what do you mean by this? Our Jing Family is in the Central Continent, in Sky City. If the Divine Hall finds out we are assisting Luoxing City, I’m afraid..."

"Fengyu, you are young, why have you become so timid, cautious, and wavering?" the Family Head of the Jing Family interrupted Jing Fengyu’s words.

Jing Fengyu frowned, not understanding his father’s meaning.

The Family Head of the Jing Family spoke meaningfully, "You have seen Jing Hai’s talent. He is too important to our Jing Family. Even if it meant extermination, we must preserve him! Sooner or later, there will be a battle between the Divine Hall and Luoxing City. The major families of the Five Continents will eventually have to choose a faction. In that case, why shouldn’t our Jing Family express our stance first?"

"But the Divine Hall..." Jing Fengyu was still hesitant.

The Family Head of the Jing Family issued a direct order, "Send down instructions for all family disciples to return. Starting tomorrow, activate the protective array for the family, and have everyone enter the family grounds." Then, he turned to Jing Fengyu and said, "Fengyu, tomorrow you will take the younger generation of the Jing Family, along with two Elders, to accompany Jing Hai to Luoxing City. This matter will serve as a training opportunity for you young ones."

...

In Luoxing City, under the night sky, the starry light fell.

Such a wondrous scene would not vanish because of the atmosphere of war. It would always appear on time above Luoxing City, displaying its splendor and dreamlike beauty.

Mu Qingge stood at her room’s window, gazing at the starry light beneath the night sky, feeling quite calm.

Suddenly, she sensed a presence behind her. Just as she was about to turn, her waist and abdomen were tightly embraced by someone, pulling her into a familiar and warm embrace.

"With such a big event happening, you still plan to keep it from me?" the man’s tone carried a hint of complaint, a trace of anger, and much more of helplessness.

Mu Qingge nestled in his embrace, found herself a comfortable spot, nudged a little, and hugged the man’s tight waist, saying, "If I can’t even handle this small matter, what right do I have to accompany you to admire the splendor, traversing the Three Thousand Worlds, the Billions of Mortal Realms?"

Si Mo sighed, holding the red-clad enchantress in his embrace even tighter. "You are always so strong, leaving me helpless. This time, if it weren’t for Huangfu Huan’s notice, I wouldn’t have known how long you planned to keep it from me."

Mu Qingge raised her eyes and squinted with a smile, "So he was the one who reported it."

Si Mo amusedly pointed a finger at her nose, "You also shouldn’t blame him, thinking about how to make up for it later. He originally planned to bring Demon Cultivators to assist you, but worried it would confirm the Divine Hall’s slander against you. Helplessly, he reported it to me instead."

"So, you rushed over immediately?" Mu Qingge asked.

Si Mo shook his head with a smile, the depths of his amber eyes, within the cold and dominant force as the Demon Lord, held endless affection.

...

Central Continent, Sky City, Divine Hall

The Divine Venerable stood in the hall where the Power of Faith was stored, staring at the transparent column, increasingly filled with grey impurities, his gaze sinister and dreadful, his expression very grave.

He had already sent people out, secretly assassinating those who started doubting the Divine Hall and the gods, attempting to slow down the erosion of the Power of Faith, but the effect was quite small.

It seemed, for every person he killed, ten more would abandon their faith!

Suddenly, in front of him, a burst of light erupted. The space appeared as if a vortex had emerged from nowhere, and two figures descended from the sky...
