The ghastly green light enveloped almost half of the canyon. In fact, everyone was affected by the self-destruction, but the force they experienced was not great, so they were unharmed.
At least 70% of the power of the self-destruction was concentrated on Jiang Jie.
The ghastly green corrosive liquid engulfed Jiang Jie, and the orange-red Fel Flame turned the area where Jiang Jie was located into a sea of Fel fire. Evil energy pulsed continuously around Jiang Jie until it completely disappeared a minute later.
The four little Elemental Spirits were a little scared, worried that they would lose their big brother. Who would take them to travel around the world then? They had promised to climb the highest mountains, dive into the deepest seas, see all the world's scenery, and taste all the world's delicacies!
Kael'thas wondered if the successor of Emperor Thoradin had died just like that. Should the High Elf be happy or sad? The High Elf were completely freed from their oath to Emperor Thoradin, but they had also lost a benefactor who had saved them.
Grom knew that Jiang Jie had saved him; this was the second time. He could even feel the demonic power within him fading. Although he might never return to his current peak, his people had been saved. How could he possibly repay Jiang Jie? He didn't even have the chance to do so.
Thrall, as the leader, is now thinking about how Orcs and humans are inherently irreconcilable. They only formed an alliance with Jaina's expeditionary force to fight the Burning Legion. If Jaina learns of Jiang Jie's death, can this alliance continue? If Princess Calia of the Eastern Kingdoms learns of Jiang Jie's death, what will become of the fragmented Orcs? What will become of the newly formed Horde...?
The flames and Fel finally dissipated, Thrall rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he had just seen.
What did he see?
He saw Jiang Jie standing proudly, his right hand tightly gripping the Strom'kar Warbreaker, his left hand raised, with what appeared to be a damaged accessory in his palm.
Kael'thas gasped, recognizing the accessory. A wave of sadness washed over him, and he wanted to punch himself for forgetting it! With it, he could easily withstand Mannoroth's self-destruction.
Standing amidst the corrosive blood and flames, Jiang Jie held a broken Sun King's Pendant in his hand. This pendant was meant as a reward for helping the Sun King deliver the image to Kael'thas, but unexpectedly, it saved his life in this critical moment.
Who would have thought that this Legendary enchanted, epic-quality pendant contained Legendary- level fire energy, forming a very powerful protective barrier in a moment of crisis?
Jiang Jie shook his head and smiled bitterly, because a voice echoed in his mind:
" Heir of Thoradin, I saved you, and now I too must vanish completely. I wish for the enduring alliance between humans and High Elf. As long as you remain, I believe the ancient covenant will continue..."
Putting away the tattered pendant, Jiang Jie whispered:
"So, in fact, a wisp of your remnant soul has always been within this pendant?"
"Have you been spying on me, afraid I won't keep my deal with you?"
You tricked me... I'm very unhappy, you know that?
"An old man like you... why didn't you live a few more years? You really shouldn't have died!"
Five days have passed since the battle against the demons began.
This unnamed canyon, which will later be known as " Demon Fall Canyon," will likely remain in its current state for decades or even centuries. Restoring its original ecology will not be easy.
The ecological pollution caused by Mannoroth is on par with that caused by nuclear bombs.
That battle was extremely difficult, and all participants suffered different kinds of trauma. Thrall, with Grom who had lost his demonic power, returned to the Warsong Clan camp to release the Warsong Orcs had also broken free of their demonic power. Kael'thas, on the other hand, had to continue hunting demons in this area and also cast spells to teleport the demons to Dire Maul to feed the elves who were suffering from demonic addiction.
In the Battle of Ashenvale, under the leadership of General Tyrande and General Shandris Feathermoon, the elven allied forces successfully defeated the demon army that had lost its leader, killing over three thousand demons.
The other demons were also driven back to Azshara. Of course, many demons were still fleeing throughout Ashenvale. General Shandris and Kael'thas joined forces to hunt down the remaining demons while establishing a defensive line along the Southfury River, striving to prevent the demons from setting foot in Ashenvale.
The Fenris People's Army fought bravely, killing many demons, but some still died... This was inevitable; wherever there is war, there will be death. It's unknown how many of Jiang Jie's first batch of disciples will survive in a few years.
The four Elemental Spirits all suffered injuries of varying degrees and are slowly recovering. Anveena, who was the most seriously injured, has been recuperating in the orange bow Thori'dal, where the energy of Sunwell Thori'dal can help Anveena recover as quickly as possible.
Demon Fall Canyon is now off-limits to the living, but Jiang Jie still asked Kael'thas to cast a spell to isolate Mannoroth's corpse. Thrall and Grom had already left by then, and only Jiang Jie knew about this.
Mannoroth's remains contain a great deal of demonic power. In the original history, his remains quickly disappeared, leaving only the broken Abyss Blade, which was obviously taken away by demons.
That's true. His remains are priceless to demons, but worthless to others, including Orcs and elves.
But Jiang Jie knew that there was someone who might want Mannoroth's remains.
He wanted to use these remains to exchange for something he had always dreamed of—something that could not only restore Anveena but also make her stronger. He just didn't know how much he could get in return.
To get more, he has one more thing to do, though it is destined to be very difficult.
He has been recuperating in the Forest Song for the past few days.
Even with the protection of the Sun King's Pendant, he was still injured, seriously injured.
The Keeper of the Grove were very generous. Since Jiang Jie was now an ally of nature, they were not stingy with their help. Keeper Ordanus personally treated him, and Jiang Jie also used the Black Tortoise Longevity Art to heal himself, combining internal and external methods.
Black Tortoise is a divine beast and a long-lived creature. This internal energy technique itself has a strong healing ability. In just a few days, Jiang Jie has basically recovered. Moreover, he seems to have benefited from the misfortune. Nourished by natural energy, his physical condition has become even better. Even the acupoints in his legs and feet have opened up more, and he is not far from the Xiantian Third Layer.
"As expected, we still need external help! Otherwise, when will we ever reach the Xiantian Tenth Layer?" Jiang Jie rubbed his temples.
Druid possess a deeper understanding of herbs than any other profession, including mages. Because of saving Cenarius and killing Mannoroth, Jiang Jie had become a distinguished guest of the Forest Song. When they learned that he needed herbs, the Keeper of the Grove quickly dispatched men and obtained several hundred kilograms of herbs for Jiang Jie within half a day.
There were indeed hundreds of kilograms of herbs, and they looked to be of very high quality, some even several years or decades old. If these herbs weren't limited in lifespan, they could easily have grown naturally for thousands or even tens of thousands of years without being harvested.
So, Jiang Jie and his disciples finally resumed their medicinal baths.
As for hot water...
That's simple; the Ancient Huo the Fire Spirit can easily provide Xiaohuo.
While cultivating, Jiang Jie also obtained some useful information from the Keeper Ordanus.
