Chapter 156 She is Nangong Ming's daughter
Memories and sounds are always fragmented.
At times, it was a palace that was both strange and familiar; faces that were indistinct; and the voices of many people that Mei Liangyu could no longer distinguish.
Finally, everything was submerged in the roar of the surging waves, and the consciousness that had been looking down into the sky was suddenly swept away by the waves and plunged into the cold and dark depths of the sea.
Mei Liangyu saw her father standing in the center of the sea eye once again.
The things her father threw into the sea eye were so familiar.
Memory is such a wonderful thing.
Even though he couldn't see those people's faces clearly, his brain knew that they were his father, mother, brothers, and sisters.
Those memories etched deep in his soul were cruelly severed and sealed away.
At this moment, Mei Liangyu felt an overwhelming familiarity with those memories and voices, yet he couldn't recall them no matter what he tried.
What was the deepest emotion that had been building up in his heart over the years—anger or hatred?
He suddenly remembered what Yan Xiaochuan had said a while ago: "I thought you didn't want to regain your memories, that you chose to forget the past and start over, and that your life now... is better than before, isn't it?"
He could never forget those people and events.
A corner of the anger and hatred leaked from the seal of reason, and a light seemed to flicker in the deep, dark seabed, where whirlpools were regenerating, threatening to unleash a monstrous storm.
Memories of the past and the future flashed through Mei Liangyu's mind.
After parting ways with Gao Tianhao in the outskirts of Yandu, they met again at the foot of Taiyi Cloud Chariot Platform.
In the Five Elements Water Field at night, Gao Tianhao closed his eyes and bowed his head in farewell to him. The raging fire that suddenly burst into flames blurred his vision. In the scorching and twisting flames, Mei Liangyu saw Yu Sui standing at the other end of the Three Thousand Crossroads.
My junior sister at that time seemed to want to go to a very far place.
She always stood alone in the corner, putting on different smiles for different people. When she was quiet, her gaze would only look into the distance, sometimes lost in thought, sometimes filled with longing.
Mei Liangyu used to think that her junior sister's thoughts were easy to guess, but now she feels that no one has ever been able to guess what her junior sister really wants.
She is Nangong Ming's daughter.
No one should underestimate Nangong Ming's daughter.
Standing on the cliff, Leng Rouyin and Wu Huaiwei suddenly noticed that the sea eye in the ocean was beginning to disappear, and the terrifying whirlpool was beginning to shrink until it turned into a small stream of water and dissipated into the sea.
In the end, only the super-large ocean eye, formed by the merging of more than two ocean eyes, remains.
The five elements of energy gathered above the abyss sea remain in chaos, neither dissipating nor being controlled or subdued.
It was late at night, and starlight could hardly penetrate this place. The lights illuminating the sea were the lights of the mechanical ships, like fallen stars in the sea. The raging waves were suppressed, and the sea was calm and still, hiding all the storms in the deep sea.
Wen Yangxiu stood on the ship, looking down at the sea, and asked without turning around, "Have the mountains of the underwater mechanical city reacted?"
The mechanical sorcerer who was building the small mountain behind replied, "There is no reaction at all. This situation is unusual. I suspect that the mountains below are damaged, and that the three large mountains have been extensively damaged."
"The communication array is underground in the city, how could it be damaged?" Wen Yangxiu couldn't understand.
The mechanical sorcerer in charge of building the mountains could only say, "Let's try again."
After a while, the person in charge of contacting the Spirit Bird shouted to Wen Yangxiu, "We have news from here!"
Wen Yangxiu stepped directly onto the adjacent boat. As soon as she stood still, she saw ripples spreading across the calm sea, dense and fast-moving, large circles encircling smaller ones.
The sound transmission from the conch shell beneath the deep sea is a type of mechanical art; the ripples reflected from the sound waves contain encrypted messages.
Wen Yangxiu and other mechanical sorcerers deciphered the water ripples in the sea, and the information they obtained was shocking.
The sea eye descended from the sky into Beikun City?
Is this possible?
That would swallow up the entire North Kun City!
Wen Yangxiu found the message from the Spirit Bird somewhat difficult to understand. He pondered it but didn't delay. He immediately went to find Wu Huaiwei and Leng Rouyin and told them that they needed to ask someone from the Water Boat to go and check out the underwater mechanical city.
Wu Huaiwei and Leng Rouyin were standing on the high cliff, ignoring each other, when they saw Wen Yangxiu arrive, they both turned their gazes towards each other.
Wen Yangxiu relayed the message Baili Mo had sent back to the two of them. The two of them did not seem too surprised after hearing it. Wu Huaiwei still had a smiling face: "As expected, it was because of the attack on the sea eye that Beikun City lost contact. We must consult our esteemed military strategist, Miss Leng, about the strange phenomenon of the sea eye."
Wu Huaiwei's sarcastic attitude had been going on for a while, and Leng Rouyin had long since learned to ignore it.
Ignoring Wu Huaiwei, Leng Rouyin looked out at the sea and asked Wen Yangxiu, "When will the second ship depart?"
Wen Yangxiu said, "It will be fine when it's light."
Leng Rouyin nodded and said, "I will go down and check it myself then."
"Sister Rouyin," Wu Huaiwei asked, "can you handle this by yourself?"
Leng Rouyin glanced at her: "Your understanding of me has always been superficial."
Wu Huaiwei was not annoyed at all. She covered her mouth with the back of her hand and chuckled softly, "I'm worried about you, Rouyin. What if that sea eye spews out strange fire and burns you? The seawater of Taiyi can't withstand that fierce and passionate flame."
Leng Rouyin frowned and said, "How do you know that it's a strange fire?"
"It devours the five elements' energy and cannot be extinguished. It is not recorded in the continent's records. Calling it 'the fire of an alien species' seems appropriate, doesn't it?" As Wu Huaiwei spoke, she appeared behind Leng Rouyin in the blink of an eye, wrapped one arm around Leng Rouyin's neck and placed it on her shoulder, leaned slightly closer to Leng Rouyin's ear, and brought a fragrant breeze.
Wu Huaiwei parted her lips slightly and whispered to Leng Rouyin, "Perhaps the more strange fire the sea eye swallows, the more it spits out."
Leng Rouyin closed her eyes for a moment to resist Wu Huaiwei's bewitching technique. When she opened her eyes again, her long sword was drawn. Wen Yangxiu, who was standing next to her, did not even see her draw her sword. He only saw the sky filled with sword energy, and Wu Huaiwei's figure flashed and retreated repeatedly.
The sword energy startled sand and stones flying off the cliff. Wu Huaiwei had just landed and stood firm at the edge of the cliff when the white sword energy coming towards her suddenly exploded and scattered, shattering the edge of the cliff. Before the rubble collapsed, Wu Huaiwei laughed and leaped into the air, disappearing into the nebula.
One was on the ground, the other in the sky.
Wu Huaiwei's voice came from the sky: "I was just worried about you, Rouyin. Why are you angry and even attacked me? The wind from this sword energy is making my face hurt."
Wen Yangxiu looked around in surprise, but couldn't see Wu Huaiwei anywhere.
Leng Rouyin calmly sheathed her sword and turned to Wen Yangxiu, saying, "Keep an eye on the Mutian Water Wall. As long as the Mutian Water Wall remains, no sea eye will approach the edge of the mechanical island. I'm going back to the academy to discuss this with the other saints. I'll come first thing tomorrow morning."
Wen Yangxiu nodded after hearing this and watched Leng Rouyin leave.
A moment later, a soft, boneless hand gently wrapped around Wen Yangxiu's shoulder from behind, startling him so much that he was about to retaliate, but was easily restrained by the other party: "I told you to keep an eye on Mu Tianshui Wall, why are you staring at her?"
"I'm going right now!" Wen Yangxiu had a sudden inspiration. He bent down and escaped from the opponent's long arm, using the Wind Riding Technique to run away.
Wu Huaiwei slowly withdrew her gaze, stood at the very front of the cliff looking out to sea, her expression thoughtful.
Currently, many of the Twenty-Four Sages of Taiyi are working on the Water Boat, busy researching the Strange Fire, aiming to completely drive it out of the Xuan Gu Continent.
Erasing the strange fire from the Xuan Gu Continent is naturally a good thing.
However, these people hate more than just the strange fire.
At least Leng Rouyin wasn't like that; she wished all the world's destroyers who carried different flames would die.
Wu Huaiwei fiddled with her red silk ribbon, looking down at the sea. She didn't care whether the people of Taiyi wanted to study the strange fire or wanted the Floating Pagoda. At this moment, she only cared about one thing: sending the people she had brought into Taiyi back out.
Inside Beikun City.
After Baili Mo rang the bell, the locations of Wenyang Axis and the Situ family were revealed.
Guided by the red light of the phoenix, Situ Lingkui ordered that all mechanical sorcerers of the Situ family should put down their work and prioritize rescuing Situ Jin.
The largest number of people went towards Situ Jin's direction.
Next is Lin Chenghai's side.
Yu Sui heard Lin Chenghai say, "That is the Sound-Seeking Bell, used to detect the five elements of qi in a person's body. As long as the person is still alive, it can definitely be found."
"How do we find it?" Yu Sui asked, puzzled. "Is ringing the bell enough?"
Lin Chenghai waved his hand and said, "It's not that simple. We need to record the five elements of this person. The principles are very complicated. You don't have to listen to them."
Yu Sui said, "I can listen."
"Have your senior brother tell you." Lin Chenghai pointed in a direction for Yu Sui. "Our cooperation ends here. From now on, we'll split up."
Yu Sui stared at him longingly, without saying a word.
Lin Chenghai glared at him and said, "Looking at me like that won't do any good. Didn't you just say we should break up on the boat? Now you're reluctant to let me go. How can you be so clueless?"
"I don't know where to go," Yu Sui said with a pained expression. "Senior, you seem very familiar with this place, but this is my first time here, and I can't even tell which way is which!"
Lin Chenghai pointed to another spot and said, "That's east over there. Can you tell the rest?"
Yu Sui shook her head.
Lin Chenghai didn't care. He pointed to the red light shining on him and said, "I won't hold back when we fight. I might even hit you. You're a student of Taiyi Academy, so the people from Taiyi won't do anything to you."
"Don't worry about your companion. Even if she catches up, that person won't kill a little girl who doesn't know anything."
"What about Wen Yangzhou?" Yu Sui looked at him with worry. "Did you guarantee he wouldn't die?"
"Of course not." Lin Chenghai couldn't waste any more time. It wasn't convenient for him to bring anyone with him, so they had to separate here. "I calculated it for you when we came up. Your senior brother is probably in Beikun City. Go down underground, and you might be able to find him."
Yu Sui exclaimed in surprise, "You can tell fortunes? No, Buddhist monks can tell fortunes too?"
Lin Chenghai had already walked forward: "Everyone knows the Eight Trigrams and the art of divination, what's wrong with telling a fortune? Which low-level fortune teller can't tell a fortune?"
Yu Sui said, "But most of them are just charlatans!"
Lin Chenghai, who had already walked quite a distance, couldn't help but turn around and glare at her: "Is the divination technique enough?!"
Yu Sui stood obediently in place, without trying to stop him, and watched Lin Chenghai quickly disappear from sight.
Through the Five Elements Light Core, she could see that Lin Chenghai was indeed very familiar with Beikun City, freely moving through various alleys and corners, seemingly heading towards the direction of the Golden Crow.
After standing there for a while, Yu Sui looked down thoughtfully.
Should we go underground?
Yu Sui was initially hesitant. She wasn't sure if Lin Chenghai was telling the truth or if she should try to deflect his words. However, after seeing Baili Mo go to the center of the thick smoke through the Five Elements Light Core and witnessing the flames burning at the edges of the collapse, her eyelids twitched. (Yue Ge)
A sea eye attacked Beikun City, swallowing up a large hole in the city.
Soul control allows her to simultaneously receive and observe messages from different Five Elements light cores, as if she had five brains and ten eyes. She also saw the scene of Nian Qiuyan divining Mei Liangyu's whereabouts through the light cores.
Yu Sui then believed Lin Chenghai's words and tried to go underground.
