Chapter 548: A Red and a White
Just then, Vaidehi’s Temporal Confinement suddenly disappeared, and the Red Flame Legion snapped back into time, their thoughts frozen at that moment.
Seeing the Undead Legion in front of them, they couldn’t hold back their attack and swung directly at them.
To their surprise, unlike what the Red Flame Wolf Rider’s people expected, the enemy did not dodge or fight back. They let them charge in, and as they touched the enemy, they instantly turned into dust.
Everyone stood frozen in place, looking at each other.
It wasn’t just one enemy doing this, but the entire Undead Legion as they charged forward and all turned into dust, causing them to cough.
Yang Hao was stunned. Just a moment ago, he had charged with all his Red Flame Wolf Rider brothers, full of determination for a fight to the death.
But suddenly, it was as if a whole new world had appeared.
Yang Hao looked around suspiciously and spotted a figure half-kneeling in an empty, sunken pit. Feeling curious, he stared for a while.
However, Zhang Mu was looking straight at him, and when Yang Hao saw Zhang Mu’s face clearly, he almost fell off his horse in fright.
He would never forget that person’s appearance!
How could it be him!
After defeating the ghost general, Zhang Mu felt even more restless. The sudden rush of emotions that he lost inexplicably lingered in his heart.
The painful feeling kept spreading, enveloping his entire mind.
Zhang Mu didn’t want to admit that Yuan Rui was dead, especially dying in front of him, sacrificing herself for him.
But the cruel reality was right in front of him, held in the white feather clenched in his hand.
Hachikuju appeared behind Zhang Mu at that moment, silently watching him.
Just now, Yuan Rui sacrificed herself without hesitation and revealed Zhang Mu’s identity to Hachikuju.
However, now is not the time for recognition.
Hachikuju remembered the sorrow and despair when Gesar was just lost. Now, only time can help Zhang Mu to recover, as time is the best healer.
Raising a huge axe, Hachikuju gestured to the people around not to approach. Even to the excited Yang Hao, Hachikuju gave him a look to go prepare the battlefield first.
Although the cost was high, obtaining those third-rank peak beast cores can help many human evolvers advance, so they must be retrieved to strengthen the human race’s power.
Hachikuju is no longer the same as before, he has matured a lot. He can be wild and crazy, but he will never lose his reason due to sadness again.
Time passed by every second, and a brilliant light suddenly emerged behind Zhang Mu.
It was Queen Vaidehi, slowly coming out of Zhang Mu’s Duwang River, exuding an elegance.
“Zhang Mu, is that your true name?”
When Zhang Mu ignored him, Queen Vaidehi didn’t mind. She knew that the person in front of her was deeply immersed in sadness and self-blame, unable to free himself.
“Why are you doing this to yourself? The person is gone and cannot be brought back.”
Upon hearing Vaidehi’s words, Zhang Mu suddenly realized something. He quickly stood up and rushed to Queen Vaidehi, staring at her eyes with great concern.
He even momentarily forgot how to speak, and after clearing his throat, he finally told Vaidehi his intention.
“Queen Vaidehi, you have the power over time and space. Can you take me back to that time? You are so powerful, you can surely do it. I beg you, please, I am willing to do anything.”
Zhang Mu’s desperate pleas did not move Vaidehi. She looked directly into Zhang Mu’s eyes and calmly said, “I cannot do it.”
Seeing Vaidehi’s calm demeanor, Zhang Mu’s anger rose. He tried to shake Vaidehi’s body, only to realize that he could never touch her.
The entire battlefield was filled with his howls resonating with energy.
“You are Queen Vaidehi, the Empress of time and space, how can you not do it!”
“You’re so strong, you tell me it can’t be done!”
Zhang Mu was getting frantic, seeing he couldn’t reach Queen Vaidehi, he felt even more that her power could definitely save Yuan Rui, but it might come at a price. He hurriedly said, “Can you help me, please? Whatever price there is, I promise to pay you back, okay!”
Vaidehi slowly shook her head, and seeing this, Zhang Mu became even more excited.
“You can do it, I’m a Senior Era Sub-merchant, I’ll get whatever you need in exchange for it, okay?
I can work hard to earn gold leaf, I’ll give you everything, there will be many good things inside, even up to Tier Five, I’ll give it to you!
Just promise me, okay? Travel through time and space, and save Yuan Rui.”
Seeing Vaidehi still unmoved, with a cold and indifferent expression, Zhang Mu suddenly chuckled sarcastically.
“Yeah, why would you help me, Zhang Mu? Sorry for lying to you, I can’t get anything up to Tier Five, I can’t give you anything, sorry.”
Upon hearing Zhang Mu’s sudden apology, Vaidehi finally spoke up.
“I am just a tiny red flower called Lycoris radiata, growing at the border between light and darkness. I have secretly gained a bit of power related to The Long River of Time.
I can only look back a few seconds into the past, and I am powerless when it comes to the future.
Time is one of the most supreme laws in this world, but I have only understood a tiny fraction of it.
I really can’t help you, and I am truly sorry.”
Upon hearing Vaidehi’s answer, Zhang Mu believed her but at the same time, he felt completely hopeless.
If even Vaidehi can’t do it, what can he do?
Yuan Rui’s soul has completely dispersed from this world, there is no way to bring her back.
He wanted to go back to the moment before the ghostly clouds came and restore his memories so he could stop Yuan Rui from transforming into the White Phoenix.
But it seems truly impossible now.
However, Vaidehi suddenly spoke slowly, “I think you should be careful about your future.”
Seeing Zhang Mu’s lack of reaction, Vaidehi continued, “When I gave you strength just now, I saw your future.
Be careful.
In your future in The Long River of Time, I saw your river breaking.”
“It doesn’t matter, let it be.”
Vaidehi’s voice sounded very difficult, as if she couldn’t even say these words, but she still insisted on saying them.
“Be careful, blocking your The Long River of Time are a red, and a white.”
