Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return Chapter 1637: Sorry to Disappoint You
Previously on Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return...
The Phoenix Egg began to shake up and down, the little Phoenix inside seemingly struggling hard to break out, but the eggshell only cracked partially, unable to fully break open.
Mu Hanyan was anxious, fearing that if this continued, the little Phoenix trapped inside the eggshell might be in danger. So she stepped forward, hugged the Phoenix Egg tightly, and began injecting Qi into it. But soon, Mu Hanyan’s face turned pale. She felt as if the Phoenix Egg was like a bottomless pit desperately absorbing her Qi and later even started absorbing her vitality.
"Han Yan!"
"Han Yan!"
Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji both exclaimed and then rushed to grab Mu Hanyan’s hand.
The result was that the Phoenix Egg began to absorb their vitality as well. The three of them turned increasingly pale.
Mu Hanfeng’s face changed dramatically, and as he was quickly thinking of a countermeasure, the Phoenix Egg suddenly burst into a brilliant light, and Mu Hanyan and the other two collapsed onto the ground simultaneously.
The Phoenix Egg slowly floated into midair, and from inside emerged a beautiful, colorful little Phoenix.
The little Phoenix in midair spoke human words.
"Han Yan, go back. Han Yan, go back."
"What?" Mu Hanyan always felt that everything from Chen Ziyu stealing the Heaven and Earth Stone to the hatching of the little Phoenix went too smoothly, unrealistically smooth.
"Han Yan, go back."
The little Phoenix continued to cry out in midair.
Go back, go back... Isn’t this her home, isn’t this the Canglan Sect...
No!
No!!!
Mu Hanyan’s eyes suddenly changed, becoming as clear as a lake.
She stared intently at the Phoenix in the air and gently parted her lips: "Is this reality or an illusion realm?" In the next moment, everything around her halted, and everyone’s actions and expressions froze.
"Either real or false. Both can be. Truth and lies are decided by the heart." The little Phoenix flapped its wings, continuing to speak human words.
"Go back, go back." The little Phoenix’s cries became increasingly urgent.
"Alright. Goodbye." Mu Hanyan turned her head to look at the frozen crowd, her gaze sweeping over the faces of Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji, revealing a smile. Goodbye, meeting again in a while.
The next moment, clouds dispersed and mist disappeared.
Mu Hanyan only felt her body lighten, and the powerful and complicated seal of the Luoshen Abyss reappeared in front of her. All she had experienced before seemed like a dream, yet in recollection, everything felt so vivid, every moment of joy, anger, grief, and resentment, every turn of events felt as if it had just happened to her.
Mu Hanyan remembered the words of the little Phoenix again, either real or false. Was what she experienced a real dream? Was it another life beyond the nine lives of her, Lan Feng, and Qian Ji? Her thoughts were interrupted when the voices of Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji rang in her ears.
"Thousand Break, Potian!"
"Divine Fire, Silent Annihilation!"
Snapping her head around, Mu Hanyan saw the boundless rage in Ye Lanfeng’s eyes and Fen Qianji’s eyes turned blood-red with fury, having lost the last shred of clarity.
With endless anger and near despair, they attacked Chou Dangya with all their might!
It turned out that all she had experienced had only been a fleeting moment in the Luoshen Abyss.
Realizing the prowess of the two, Chou Dangya also quickly raised his Longsword.
With a boom, a loud explosion sounded. The Sword Light from the three of them clashed head-on, causing the entire heaven and earth to shake violently as if the sky was collapsing and the earth sinking.
Chou Dangya grunted, fell to his knees, and his sword broke into two pieces, propped against the ground so as not to immediately topple to the ground.
The antique battle armor, which had withstood the erosion of millions of years, finally shattered into fragments, hanging loosely on his body and revealing several deep Sword Traces on his body. Although his mummy-like form did not bleed, white bones could be clearly seen, as well as internal organs that seemed wind-dried.
Even if he was once as powerful as the Divine, he had been gravely injured a million years ago and had not fully recovered. Ultimately, he could not withstand the painful and desperate final attack of Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji.
However, the conditions of Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji didn’t look good either.
Ye Lanfeng supported himself with his sword, standing with difficulty in front of him. Blood continuously trickled from the corner of his mouth, and in his eyes, there was nothing but endless desolation, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Who says men do not weep easily, just that it hasn’t reached the point of heartbreak. At this moment, his heart had completely died, like a summer flower wilting.
Beside him, Fen Qianji lay on the ground, with the Divine Prison Refining Fire still burning continuously on his body as if determined to completely consume his life, yet in his eyes, there was no longer any hint of pain, only boundless sorrow.
"Hahaha, I never expected that after a million years, the Holy Continent would have strong individuals like you. But so what, she must still die and vanish forever into another world, hahaha." Chou Dangya laughed maniacally, though so injured he could not even stand, his face was filled with relief, even a bit of liberation.
To erase the last trace of her Divine Soul in the Holy Continent was their mission. Even if they were to face complete annihilation in the next moment, he had successfully completed his mission.
Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji’s eyes simultaneously revealed a glint of utter hopelessness.
"No!" Mu Hanyan, seeing the deathly intent in their eyes, shouted in alarm.
Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji turned their heads in unison, looking at Mu Hanyan with joy and disbelief.
"Han Yan, you... you’re alright..." Ye Lanfeng’s voice was trembling, his face still marked by those sparkling tear streaks.
Fen Qianji struggled to get up, but fell back powerlessly, his eyes filled with the same joy.
"I’m alright, I’m back." Mu Hanyan flew over, supporting Fen Qianji with one hand and tightly grasping Ye Lanfeng with the other, her eyes brimming with tears.
One was the man she loved, the other was her best friend across lifetimes. They were both alive, and at that moment, Mu Hanyan felt she was the luckiest person in the world.
"No... impossible, how could you break through my Ten Thousand Demon Heart..." Chou Dangya was equally shocked, but there was not a trace of surprise mixed in with his astonishment, only disbelief and horror.
In fact, even Mu Hanyan felt fortunate. She almost lost herself in that world of truth and illusion, alive or dead, disappeared forever from the world of Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji. But fortunately, she returned. Otherwise, even if Ye Lanfeng and Fen Qianji killed Chou Dangya to avenge her, they would still face certain death with no will to live.
"Sorry to disappoint you!" Mu Hanyan slowly raised the Longsword.
With Chou Dangya severely injured, there was no urgency for her to flee the Luoshen Abyss; killing him was the best way to ensure no future troubles.
"Star Fall, Eight Desolates!" Mu Hanyan unleashed a slash.
Not until this sword strike did Mu Hanyan realize that being caught in Chou Dangya’s Ten Thousand Demon Heart, entering another world, was not entirely without benefits.
