Chapter 394: Severing the tail
They had to find the fissure quickly!
The chance to escape that Their Highnesses had fought so hard to win with their lives would vanish in an instant.
Given the toughness of their dragon bodies, those fragments should still have held out until now without much trouble.
But if they delayed much longer, the powerful tearing forces would likely grind them into bloody powder, rendering them useless.
After escorting them out of Yanshi Yaorang, the Heart-Stealing Divine Ape went no farther. He simply cupped his hands and said:
"I'm no good at sensing auras, so following you would be useless. I'll give you three more monkey hairs. If any other fellow cultivators give you trouble, shout 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven' again, and I'll have a way to help you."
With that, he turned to somersault away. Cui Jiuyang hurriedly said, "Wait, Brother Monkey! There's something else I'd like to ask!"
Without looking back, the monkey turned into a streak of light and departed, but his words lingered behind.
"Heavenly Court wanted to impose its rules on us. We were born free. Why should we let them govern us?"
"So we formed a yaomo army and fought Heavenly Court, only to be defeated and driven into Guixu."
"That's what you wanted to ask, wasn't it?"
"Fellow cultivator Cui, your Eight Extremes technique carries the destiny of the world. Sooner or later, you'll have to go take a look at the South Heavenly Gate."
"Hehehehe. If you'd listened to me that day and given me that heart of yours, I could have gone there in your place."
"Since you refused, you can go yourself!"
"A person of reversed yin-yang... Heavenly Court must have been waiting for you for a long time too..."
