Monarch of Evernight - Chapter 847

Chapter 847: 847

Bricks and gravel flew in all directions as the Wolf King punched through the wall of the main building . The moment the Twin Flowers started accumulating energy, the Wolf King began to palpitate . This was an extremely familiar sensation, one that had brought him close to death just a few days ago .

The Wolf King immediately knew that Qianye was here and that he was about to attack .

The two luminous feathers and their terrifying power were etched deeply into the divine champion’s heart . Who else in this castle could survive such a blow?

The Wolf King didn’t even have time to exit through the window . He simply blasted the wall apart and charged out .

He arrived just in time to see Qianye’s sneer . The Twin Flowers rumbled, and the Shot of Inception struck the great shaman almost immediately after leaving the chamber .

The shaman stood up abruptly, turned back, and was frozen therein . Bewilderment and doubt lingered in his turbid eyes while his vitality dissipated rapidly .

“No!!!” The Wolf King’s roar suppressed the sharp sound of the wind and waves . He transformed into his werewolf form in a flash and pounced toward Qianye .

This charge sealed off Qianye’s paths of retreat, preventing him from escaping into the castle .

However, Qianye made no attempt at escaping outside . Instead, he charged toward the precipice and leapt right off the cliff .

He turned around mid-air and sneered at the Wolf King before falling into the great sea .

The Wolf King charged over to the edge of the cliff and looked down . Even with his visual acuity, all he could see were the murky waves . Apparently, Qianye had fallen into the water and vanished .

Absolutely furious, the Wolf King was about to jump into the ocean, but he felt a chill run down his spine as half his body crossed over the cliff . A deep iciness emerged in the depths of his heart and shook him back to his senses .

The depths of the Eastern Sea was the forbidden zone of all experts . Even Zhang Buzhou wouldn’t dare try exploring there . Reportedly, no expert had come back alive after diving into the ocean .

The Wolf King was filled with terror at the thought of jumping into the sea, almost as though there was a peerlessly terrifying existence hiding in the deep waters and waiting quietly for his arrival .

The divine champion swung his hand backward, and his origin power turned into a giant claw with which to grab the precipice . This prevented him from going fully over the edge .

The terrifying existence in the sea seemed fairly disappointed . It stirred up several giant waves to express its dissatisfaction before swimming back into the sea .

The Wolf King was drenched in cold sweat after returning to land . His proximity to demise just now was no less than when he was struck by the Shot of Inception .

The guard captain ran over at this time . “Your Majesty, the great shaman, he…”

The Wolf King showed no signs of movement . Only after a long while did he say, “No need to check, he is already at our ancestors’ side . ”

The guard captain opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything .

The Wolf King turned about with a wave of his sleeves and returned to the castle . He didn’t want to see the shaman’s corpse at all .

As for Qianye, he was sure to die after jumping into the water . The Wolf King felt a modicum of relief after recalling the many terrifying legends about the Eastern Sea . It wasn’t too bad to trade the shaman for Qianye .

Meanwhile, Qianye was sinking slowly into the sea . The surface was filled with raging waves, but the underwater world was abnormally peaceful, almost as though it was a different world .

He had already lost control over his body as a tremendous and indefensible will engulfed him, robbing him of his authority .

Yet Qianye felt not suppression, coldness, or suffocation from this will . On the contrary, he felt a bit of warmth .

An ocean current arrived in the darkness and pushed Qianye toward the depths of the sea .

He seemed to have lost track of time amidst the deep darkness . After drifting for an unknown length of time, a lustrous glow suddenly appeared before his eyes—it was a school of fish . Their blinking abdomens made them look like fireflies of the ocean .

Following the first bit of light, more luminous glows lit up around him like myriad starlight gradually illuminating the underwater world .

The scene before him almost looked like a fantasy world .

The clusters of coral were like blooming flowers carpeting the seabed, and the dense schools of fish were like colored ribbons shuttling through the shrubbery . It would seem all kinds of creatures thrived peacefully in this beautiful world . A brightly colored octopus glared curiously at Qianye as he passed by .

At this moment, there was somewhat of a commotion in the sea as a giant shadow slowly glided by .

The current flipped Qianye around just in time for him to see a giant sea colossus, several hundred meters long, slowly swimming over him . Qianye had never before seen such a creature, nor had he ever heard of one . Just from its build, however, one could tell just how terrifying it was .

The beast didn’t seem hungry . It merely swam away without sparing the fishes a second glance . The shoals of fish didn’t seem to fear the colossus, either, and merely swam past as they normally would .

The current surged once more and left Qianye hovering over the underwater garden . At this moment, a familiar voice echoed in Qianye’s senses, “You’re here . ”

This was the mysterious will Qianye had been sparring with back then, the same one that had left him a method to summon it in times of need .

“You were looking for me?”

“I was waiting for you to summon me . Now that you’re in the sea, I thought it’d be nice to bring you here and check up on your growth . I’m quite satisfied with your progress . Why did you not summon me?”

Qianye laughed wryly . “Do you think I can win three consecutive rounds against you now?”

The mysterious entity said after a moment of silence, “Of course not . ”

“Then why would I summon you?”

Qianye’s strength had indeed made progress, but what he needed against the mysterious existence was combat arts and not brute force . Qianye still wasn’t confident of victory in this regard .

The mysterious entity’s concern about Qianye’s growth was a bit out of the ordinary . Qianye tried to sound him out, “Did you have something you need me to do?”

“No, at least not at the moment . Perhaps I might need you to help with some things in the future, but you’re far from sufficient at the moment . ”

“What would that be?”

“You'll find out when the day comes . Okay, now tell me where you want to go . ”

As Qianye thought about Southern Blue, a current emerged at the bottom of the ocean and whisked him away .

The starry glow of the seabed gradually faded away, and the fantastical underground garden was once again swallowed up by darkness . The sable world didn’t last long, however, as a beach soon appeared before Qianye’s eyes .

Qianye regained control over his senses after the seawater receded . He moved his limbs about and clambered up to observe his surroundings .

This beach was silent and beautiful, but it filled Qianye’s heart with astonishment .

There were very few such beaches on the Eastern Sea, and this one was the closest to Southern Blue . Back in the empire, such beautiful scenery would be known far and wide . Unfortunately, these were the neutral lands, and the Eastern Sea was notorious for devouring countless experts . Up to this day, no one knew precisely just how many terrifying beasts there were in the ocean or what kind of terrifying existence was devouring all those experts .

Under normal circumstances, any expert would be quite cautious around the ocean and especially the beaches . Who would be in the mood for leisure and relaxation?

The mysterious existence from the sea seemed to have no enmity toward Qianye . On the contrary, it seemed to be protecting and training Qianye . It was just that no one knew the reason behind it .

What shocked Qianye the most was that it had only been about an hour since he had fallen into the sea . Yet, this beach near Southern Blue was almost a thousand kilometers away .

To be able to send Qianye here meant that the mysterious entity’s attainments in spatial control were well beyond any ordinary divine champion .

Qianye exercised his body briefly and, only after he had fully recovered, left the beach for Southern Blue . The mysterious entity’s request was a matter for the future . He still had to settle old debts right now .

Southern Blue was even more austere at the moment . The streets under the night sky were empty and devoid of people . The taverns, though, were filled with drunk city guards .

Too many rumors had been flying around these days, most of them related to the shocking outcome of the Wolf King’s attempt to capture Qianye . There was also talk about Qianye’s subsequent attack on the city lord’s manor where he gravely injured the Wolf King and destroyed a part of the mansion .

Most of the people here weren’t powerful enough to figure out what had happened that night, but the less clear they were, the more outrageous the rumors became .

Those paying attention realized that many of the young mercenaries had disappeared . These people might not be strong, but being able to survive on the razor’s edge until this age proved that they possessed keen intuition for danger . They had vanished like animals and birds in the forest before an impending disaster .

This was quite worrisome . Meanwhile, Ji Rui locked himself in the city lord’s manor and never left, going so far as to ignore the damaged mansion . The city lord ought to have come out to reassure the masses at such a time, yet he was totally absent and that only added to the general panic .

The silence of the night was torn asunder by engine sounds as five trucks drove through the streets of the city square . The roar of their engines attracted some attention and made people frown . That was because these fully-loaded vehicles were actually driving out of the city . It would seem that a certain trader had decided to move his wares out of Southern Blue to ensure their safety .

The caravan drove out of Southern Blue and headed toward Tidehark City .

There was quite a bit of distance between Southern Blue and Tidehark . The journey wasn’t very peaceful, either, so three out of the five trucks were filled with well-equipped mercenaries . The merchant owner was willing to move the goods out of Southern Blue at the risk of getting robbed . This went to show just how bad the situation there was .

Not long after the motorcade had left the city, the first truck came to a screeching stop, kicking up clouds of rolling smoke and dust from the friction before finally stopping .
