Chapter 582: The Heavenly Way Turns Demon
The last time Jiang Yun faced the heavenly face, he had three senior martial siblings and a master by his side. But now, he was alone, lying amidst ruins.
Jiang Yun gazed at the heavenly face, which was also staring back at him. The old face showed no emotions, making it impossible to tell its thoughts.
Though Jiang Yun’s body couldn’t move, his mind was still racing, trying to figure out a way to save himself.
He knew that fate wouldn’t spare him, but he wasn’t afraid of death. Right now, he couldn’t die!
The Seeking-Tao Sect was waiting for him, and the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains were also waiting for him.
If he died here, then within the Mountain-Sea World, there truly wouldn’t be the Seeking-Tao Sect anymore, nor would there be the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains. So he had to stay alive.
Finally, as Tian Yan mumbled unclearly, a word spilled out.
With that single word uttered, it instantly transformed into a black thunderbolt cascading down like a waterfall towards Jiang Yun lying on the ground!
Watching the thunderbolt, a look of helplessness and unwillingness appeared on Jiang Yun’s face.
He had no way to dodge it at all, much less withstand the strike of this thunderbolt.
"This time, I’m really going to die!"
However, just as the black thunderbolt was about to strike Jiang Yun, a white large bird suddenly appeared above him, snatched his body, and then flapped its wings, like a lightning bolt, swiftly darting away.
"Boom!"
The thunder struck heavily where Jiang Yun had been lying before, the terrifying force abruptly splitting the towering mountains where the Luo family castle was located.
"Boom boom!"
With a loud roar, the massive mountain began to collapse, rocks of various sizes splintering and rolling down towards the deep abyss below.
The white large bird that rescued Jiang Yun was Lu Ao’s demon beast!
While Lu Ao had been searching for Lu Xiaoyu’s whereabouts, he had also been keeping an eye on the battle between Jiang Yun and Luo Qing.
He even wanted to help Jiang Yun several times, but couldn’t break into the Demonized Blue Sky and could only watch anxiously from the sidelines.
It wasn’t until just now, when Jiang Yun shot Luo Qing with nine arrows, that he saw the colorful object flying out of Luo Qing’s body – naturally, he knew it was the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip that belonged to his Lu family.
Although he was eager to chase after the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, seeing Jiang Yun immediately collapse, he decided to rescue Jiang Yun first.
But before he could reach Jiang Yun, Tianyan suddenly appeared and unleashed thunder to attack Jiang Yun.
Even though he didn’t hear the conversation between Jiang Yun and Luo Qing, he couldn’t just watch Jiang Yun die under the thunder. So he sent his own demon beast to rescue Jiang Yun at the critical moment.
The white bird grabbed Jiang Yun with its claws, moving very fast but with a hint of panic in its eyes.
As a demon beast, Tianyan’s presence was very intimidating. Even though it saved Jiang Yun, it had no idea where to go next and kept circling around the collapsed mountains.
"Fly towards the abyss below!"
Luckily, Jiang Yun was still conscious and communicated with the bird using his divine sense. This made the bird turn around and rush towards the deep abyss.
When he arrived at the abyss, Jiang Yun remembered visiting it when he first came to the Xia family, knowing there was a swamp there where he could possibly hide for a while.
Not far behind, Lu Ao followed the white bird into the deep abyss.
The bird was very fast and agile, darting through falling rocks all around, and in an instant, it reached the bottom of the abyss.
"Jiang Yun, are you okay?"
At this moment, Lu Ao appeared by his side, looking anxious, and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I’m fine. Did you find the little fish?"
Lu Ao shook his head and said, "No, did you guess she’s still alive because of the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip?"
"Yes! And if I’m right, I think the little fish must be trapped by Luo Qing in the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip. Senior, you go after the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, don’t worry about me!"
When Lu Ao saw the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip flying away, he also thought of what Jiang Yun was thinking.
"Don’t worry, I can sense the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip. We won’t lose it. Right now, let’s focus on saving your life. How did you anger the heavens?"
Jiang Yun intended to tell the truth, but ended up forcing a bitter smile and said, "I don’t know!"
He decided to hide the truth from Lu Ao because he realized that since the heavens were always secretly helping Luo Qing, they wouldn’t want their secrets exposed.
Even, the reason that the heavens wanted to kill themselves, may not be because they killed Luo Qing, but because they knew, the heavens had turned into demons!
For all the living beings in the Mountain-Sea World, in their understanding, the heavens, even if they transform into human form, are just a symbol, a belief, like the clay statues worshipped in temples.
In fact, the heavens have turned into demons, with their own thoughts and purposes!
Regardless of its purpose, just by helping Luo Qing and allowing him to gather disciples of the Seeking-Tao Sect into Hun Tian in various strange ways, and condensing the faces of the Luo family members into its own body, it is enough to show that its purpose is not pure.
Therefore, to prevent Lu Ao from getting involved, Jiang Yun chose to lie.
"Senior Lu, I’m fine, I have a special way to avoid the heavens, so you don’t need to worry about me, hurry and go after the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip!"
"From what I know, Luo Qing somehow connected the inside of the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave."
"If the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip falls into the hands of Ten Thousand Demons Cave again, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Originally, Lu Ao wanted to stay to take care of Jiang Yun until he had the strength to act, but upon hearing these words, he suddenly turned pale and asked, "Is what you’re saying true?"
"Absolutely sure!"
"Then I must go chase after it, the direction where the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip flew is to the north!"
"Senior, please go quickly, don’t worry about me!"
After carefully scanning Jiang Yun up and down, Lu Ao said, "Alright, you take care of yourself. Once I find Xiaoyu and retrieve the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, I will go directly to Seeking-Tao Sect to find you!"
"I may not be able to deal with humans, but I can still help a bit when it comes to dealing with demons!"
Clearly, Lu Ao also knew about Seeking-Tao Sect affairs. Maybe in the past he wouldn’t have bothered, but now since Jiang Yun saved his life and has a close relationship with Lu Xiaoyu, he must help Jiang Yun.
"Then I’ll thank you in advance, throw me into the swamp below, senior!"
Lu Ao no longer spoke much, waved his hand, and the white giant bird threw Jiang Yun into the swamp.
Only after watching Jiang Yun sink into the swamp did Lu Ao step onto the back of the giant bird and soar into the sky.
"Boom!"
As Lu Ao had just left, the collapsed half of the mountain began to fall into the abyss one after another.
Many giant rocks also fell into the swamp, instantly filling it up.
At that moment, the heavens uttered a vague word once again from its mouth, followed by a black thunderbolt heading straight towards the swamp.
Just as Jiang Yun had suspected, the heavens would not let him off.
"Boom!"
The thunderbolt fiercely struck down on the swamp, completely shattering the pile of giant rocks and even evaporating the swamp into nothingness.
However, a look of confusion and bewilderment appeared on the face of the heavens.
Because it suddenly realized that it could no longer sense Jiang Yun’s presence!
