Accompanying the Phoenix

Chapter 24

According to Xing Zhi, one of the remaining two seals, representing ‘earth’ was buried under the training platform . Chen Li ordered all the soldiers within the field camp to retreat a 3-mile radius from the platform . She was about to turn around and leave as well when Xing Zhi stopped her . “Awakening the seal will take a long time, and if I cannot be interrupted . Therefore you need to guard by my side . Don’t let people bother me . ”

All the soldiers already retreated 3 miles away, and besides, who even dares to disturb you… . Chen Li opened her mouth to retaliate, but then forcefully choked her words back into her stomach . She silently stood aside as Xing Zhi laid his palm on the earth . Similar to the other two seals, it soon began to glow with brilliant light . The ground trembled beneath her, but this time, Chen Li paid no attention to her surroundings . She only gazed at Xing Zhi’s face, an unknown emotion settling within her jet-black eyes .

The dry, sandy yellow soil gradually grew moist . Wifts of grass slowly grew by the edges of the tents, the air turning clean and pure . But unlike the other 2 times, Chen Li didn’t feel at peace . This time, the air made it seem much harder to breathe .

But since it was only felt for a mere moment, Chen Li simply ignored it . When Xing Zhi finished, her black eyes moved subtly as she turned around to leave, “My matters in the Space-Time Rip Ruins are finished, so I’ll be heading back to receive my punishment . ”

Xing Zhi watched her calm silhouette walk away, eyes staring .

When Chen Li had killed the Scorpion-Tailed Fox, the Space-Time Rip was still quite far away so she never truly had the chance to see it herself . So when Chen Li raised her head to see huge, black slit that extended through the horizon, she could not help but stare, shocked dumb . Rich, black miasma unceasingly gushed out of the ginormous slit . However, with 3 of the seals awakened, the miasma was constantly suppressed, disintegrated before it could escape the crevice . But even so, the nearby miasma was enough to oppress a person’s heart . Without the seals, one can only imagine how terrible the situation would’ve become .

Heaven’s Space Time Rip was very different from the Ice Sacrificial Palace, which was created naturally . The Space Time Rip was a space ripped out of another dimension by one person, and was turned into a cage . And in that cage, contains monsters several, or even hundreds of times stronger than that Scorpion Tailed Fox .

Chen Li’s eyes turned serious as she moved her head slightly to see a figure slightly walking towards her, step by step . The miasma dense wind caused his robes and hair to fly wildly in the air, but even that could not change the unshakable calm and indifference in his stance .

Really… . A splitting image .
