The Endless Promise {COMPLETED}

167. Yu Shui Lake

.

'Impossible!'

High above the Arena, Zhurong Fen internally raged.

She considered landing at the Arena and simply killing Zhang Luoyin, Xu Weiyan, and everyone else at once!

But Swiftly approaching the Arena was Immortal Bao's aura...

Over the years, Zhurong Fen had risen to the fifth stage of the Universal Tier, placing her a level above the Immortal Bao from the past.

But that old dragon had healed and also grown in thirty-thousand years, and at Yue City, his aura had been enough to nearly root her in place.

Facing him without a plan would be careless!

So she swung her cloak and quickly vanished from there, reappearing somewhere else in the city.

'Zhang Luoyin...!!' She thought, livid with anger.

She had confidently cast the Blood Frenzy Curse because Zhang Luoyin had already used his rain technique during his fight with Fei Yun, raining over an entire city.

This alone could drain an immortal...

But a mortal had somehow remained standing, and even went further to defeat Fei Yun!

He should be completely drained by now, and yet he had somehow mustered the energy to perform the rain spell a second time to cure the crazed citizens!

'Zhang Luoyin!!!' Zhurong Fen gritted her teeth, her hands fisting to the point that her nails drew blood. 'I must destroy you!'

Back at the Arena, Luoyin's irises darted to the point where Zhurong Fen had stood watching them.

'I can sense her now!' Luoyin thought with a scowl, and it was at this moment that the past events sunk in fully. A burning fury seared through him as he recalled the countless who had fallen to Zhurong Fen's schemes!

But as he stepped forward, Old man Bao's voice cut into his thoughts.

~"Calm yourself! You can't face her in your current state!"~

Luoyin instantly halted, but his hands fisted tightly as Old man Bao continued.

~"I released my aura to chase her off just now, or she might have killed you and everyone already! This is no time to act in mindless rage!"~

~"Umh."~ Luoyin nodded imperceptibly, his fingers relaxing slowly.

~"Xiaobai, I'm sure you don't need me to tell you what is likely buried beneath this City..."~ Old man Bao calmly resumed. ~"We never understood what Immortal Ye saw in his vision, but it was heavy enough to make him give his last breath to save you.

~"But with the coincidences of your mortal life, and the unveiling of past events, all this might be your fate! But if you are to face it, then it's time to take 'that' step, or you might lose those you're trying to protect."~

He sighed. ~"Whatever decision you make, this old man will still do all he can to protect you! But if you don't act, the world as we know it might fall to ruin..."~

Old man Bao's voice went silent, and Luoyin's brows dipped in worry.

He indeed couldn't face Zhurong Fen in his current state, and he turned away.

With a wave of his hand, a shield instantly appeared, separating the crowd of mortals from him, Weiyan, Yinying, Yin Xing, and the few swallows present.
