"No!"
Wang Dong'er subconsciously closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Even without seeing what Shadow did, she could already picture her great-father being cut in two by him.
So much so that she now doesn't dare to open her eyes.
"Young Sect Master."
A man in a gray robe called out.
Wang Dong'er, however, had not yet recovered from her grief and simply waved her hand, dismissing him.
The man still called out, "Young Sect Master, you... why don't you hold back for now?"
Wang Dong'er still ignored him, simply waving her hand and saying, "Tell everyone to evacuate quickly, I'm not leaving."
"Ouch..." The man wanted to say something more, but suddenly shut up.
Open your eyes.
Wang Dong'er felt as if she heard an irresistible voice ringing in her ears.
She subconsciously stopped crying, opened her big, watery eyes, and her red-rimmed eyes, combined with her beautiful face, made her truly pitiful.
Wang Dong'er's eyes widened in shock.
The wind in the valley rushed up the mountainside, and the black robe swayed around her, gently brushing against Wang Dong'er's cheeks.
The texture is strange; Bingbing's cool and soft, unlike materials like silk.
But now is not the time to think about that; the most important thing is that his great-father is lying safely in front of him.
"This is..."
Wang Dong'er reached out and caught her uncle, tears of confusion streaming down her cheeks.
The Shadow still stood there, its body upright, exuding an aura that was impossible to resist.
The next moment, a gust of wind suddenly arose, long hair blocked her vision, and when she opened her eyes again, the figure had vanished.
Wang Dong'er quickly called out, "Wait!"
"They will know how to find me when they wake up."
The voices of the Shadow came from all directions, echoing in this Where the Clouds Are Deep and Unknown, lingering in the empty valley below.
Wang Dong'er looked around blankly. The hills on the side had disappeared, leaving behind neat platforms.
The surface was so smooth that it would be easy to rebuild several Clear Sky Castle.
Wang Dong'er sat there for a while longer, and with the help of the sect disciples, she finally brought her eldest and second fathers back to Clear Sky Castle.
The most fortunate thing is that despite the terrifying attack, Clear Sky Castle was not greatly affected. Apart from the huge hole smashed by their second father, it suffered no damage.
Wang Dong'er also specifically asked the male disciple from earlier, and only then did she realize that when she closed her eyes...
The Shadow didn't attack Niu Tian, but instead used its Soul Power to drag him to its side, while it remained there, foolishly crying.
Although I don't know why Shadow came here, knocking out his eldest and second uncles doesn't seem like his usual style.
However, the fact that there was no loss is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
After making arrangements for everyone, Wang Dong'er realized that Huo Yuhao was not among the fleeing group!
She panicked immediately and hurriedly grabbed Wang Qiu'er, who was trying to leave, asking, "Qiu... Qiu'er, have you... seen Yuhao?"
Wang Qiu'er stopped and frowned, saying, "I didn't see him. He told me he was a little tired today and went to bed early. He's probably... probably still at Clear Sky Castle."
"What!"
Wang Dong'er panicked and, ignoring Wang Qiu'er beside her, ran straight towards Huo Yuhao's room.
Bang!
The room door slammed heavily against the wall with a loud bang.
"Huh?... What's wrong? What's wrong?!"
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Huo Yuhao rolled off the bed in one go and looked around in a panic.
Wang Dong'er rushed into the room and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Huo Yuhao was still there.
She knelt down beside Huo Yuhao and hugged him tightly.
Huo Yuhao felt himself being pressed deeply into that softness, making it hard for him to breathe.
"Wait... Dong'er, wait... Hah..."
Huo Yuhao was a little confused about what was going on when Wang Dong'er hugged him.
Wang Dong'er hugged Huo Yuhao's head tightly, and the real touch in her arms completely reassured her.
" Yuhao, thank goodness Yuhao, you're alright."
Wang Dong'er, her voice trembling with tears, kept stroking Huo Yuhao's hair, but her face wore a smile that was even more unsightly than tears.
She thought she would never see Huo Yuhao again.
Huo Yuhao felt the warm liquid falling from his head and gradually calmed down, reaching out to grasp Wang Dong'er's soft little hand.
He hugged Wang Dong'er tightly and gently comforted her, "It's okay, I'm here. I've always been here."
Gradually, Wang Dong'er's voice faded, leaving only the sound of her even breathing.
Huo Yuhao looked at the beauty in his arms, sighed softly, and placed Wang Dong'er on the bed.
Dragging a chair over, Huo Yuhao sat down beside him, looked up at the jade plate hanging high above, and murmured, "Time is running out."
The next day, the sun set in the west.
As dusk fell, the shadows of Clear Sky Castle stretched long, obscuring the smooth mountaintops on its sides.
Niu Tian slowly opened his eyes, looking at the familiar ceiling, and memories of last night flooded into his mind like a tide.
He forced himself to sit up in bed, rubbing his forehead, and said, "That power is already comparable to that of Deity?! Perhaps it really is possible!"
Just as Niu Tian was muttering to himself, Wang Dong'er walked into the room carrying a cup of hot tea.
Wang Dong'er looked at her awakened uncle and said happily, "Uncle, you're awake!"
She quickly walked to Niu Tian's side and placed the hot tea on his right.
"Hmm, what about your second father? How is he?" Niu Tian picked up a cup of hot tea and asked.
Wang Dong'er gestured with her chin in an annoyed tone, saying, "She was sleeping like a log next door. The checkup showed only some minor scratches."
"By the way, Uncle, why did Shadow fight with you? Logically speaking, our Clear Sky Sect has no grudges against him at all," Wang Dong'er asked, puzzled.
" Shadow?" Niu Tian asked in surprise. " Dong'er, do you know that person?"
"Yes, he's the one who blew up Sea God Lake. I told you about him when I went home for vacation."
Wang Dong'er patted her chest and said, "Thank goodness you and Second Uncle are both alright. I was really scared to death last night."
Niu Tian smiled faintly and said, "It's alright, we're just sparring, there won't be any problems."
"Was I unconscious for almost a day?"
"Yes, Uncle, you still need to rest more. The clan elders said you were weakened yesterday, so I'll have someone make you some chicken soup later," Wang Dong'er earnestly instructed.
Niu Tian then asked, "What did Shadow say when he left yesterday?"
Wang Dong'er was taken aback at first, then relayed, "Uncle, he said you'll know where to find him once you wake up."
Don't you know?
Niu Tian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand. By the way, remember to get the Soul Ring tomorrow. Don't worry about the Clear Sky Sect; your second father and I are still here."
After giving Wang Dong'er a few more instructions, Niu Tian then let her leave to prepare for tomorrow.
As he looked at the closed door, a hint of purple flashed in his eyes, his pupils instantly transforming into petal shapes before returning to their original state.
Niu Tian seemed to understand something, muttering, "I understand."
