Chapter 366: Island Sinking
The moment the Sky-covering Mirror shattered, the clouds rolled and purple-golden thunderbolts fell like sharp arrows.
Shen Chaozhao seemed to sense something and looked up subconsciously.
Purple-gold lightning flashed into her eyes, striking her between the eyebrows. Several bolts of lightning struck her in quick succession, and her body was instantly swallowed up by the lightning like a small boat.
After a few loud thunderclaps, only a charred body remained, lying quietly on the ground, without a sound...
No one who knew Shen Chaochao had expected that in the end she would be wiped out by the way of heaven and would not even have the chance to reincarnate.
Su Yan looked at her body in silence for a long time, and finally chose to dig a hole and bury it.
The surrounding monsters were frightened and fled in all directions when the thunder struck.
Apart from the surviving disciples, the ground was covered with piled-up corpses, the coarse cloth robes of casual practitioners, the cloud-patterned clothes of sect disciples, and the scaly remains of monsters mixed together.
Broken swords, shattered talismans, and blood-stained tokens were scattered everywhere.
The fishy smell and the residual heat of the dissipated spiritual power intertwined together, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts.
Everyone silently handled the funeral affairs of their fellow disciples and friends.
Qihua Island began to shake violently, and spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground.
Someone in the crowd shouted:
"Oh no! The island is sinking! Retreat!"
Everyone set off in a hurry. Fellow disciples carried the wounded and stood up on their swords. Others pulled each other and rushed out. Gravel rolled under their feet, and the island behind them was crumbling bit by bit.
Nan Xiao took Xiaoya to the place where Lu Huai disappeared, and searched again and again persistently, no longer paying attention to anything happening around him.
Other disciples of Xiaoyao Sect are also helping to look for it.
But now I have to leave.
Jiang Xia grabbed Nan Xiao's arm forcefully and led him out.
"Junior sister, let's go out first."
Nan Xiao's arm was clenched so tightly that it hurt, but he seemed unconscious. He just stared at the empty space where Lu Huai had just disappeared. His eyes were somewhat empty as he said, "Big Brother, I haven't found Lu Huai yet."
The corners of her eyes were red, but she didn't cry. She just murmured softly: "I can't find him..."
Jiang Xia felt very distressed when he saw her current appearance.
They were also feeling bad because their junior brother was seriously injured and missing.
But compared to the distraught look of the junior sister, they still had some rationality.
We can't afford to mess up in this situation.
Jiang Xia hugged her gently, stroked her hair tenderly, and said soothingly, "Junior brother has always been smart and has always had great luck. He will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. I believe this time will be no exception."
He paused, his voice becoming softer. "Let's go out first and report the situation here to our Master, then gather some people to conduct a thorough search."
Su Xun also came over and said, "Little Junior Sister, you have to cheer up, otherwise when Little Junior Brother comes back and sees you like this, he will be so distressed."
Nan Xiao muttered, "I know."
Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief, letting him go. "Big Brother, I promise you, I will find you, Little Junior Brother."
"Um."
Jiang Xia handed the person over to Su Xun, and he himself stayed behind to see if there were any fellow disciples left behind, or any monsters taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.
Nan Xiao sat on Su Xun's spiritual sword, watching Qihua Island gradually being submerged by water, and she thought a lot.
The eldest brother was right, Lu Huai would not die, he must still be waiting for her.
She couldn't stay depressed like this, she had to go find him.
Su Xun sat down next to her and patted her shoulder, "Junior sister, let me lend you my shoulder. Just cry and you'll feel better."
"Fourth Senior Brother, I don't want to talk now." Although Nan Xiao had figured it out, he was still in a bad mood.
Seeing that her condition was much better than before, Su Xun said no more and controlled the spirit sword to fly towards the spaceship's docking location.
Everyone returned to the spaceship one after another and found that their masters were there.
The sect leaders glanced at their disciples and saw that their clothes were covered in blood and everyone was injured. Not a single one was intact, and they immediately felt distressed.
Ye Lingling and Gu An supported Song Hui and walked in front of Xiao Yanqing.
"Master, Second Brother's arm is gone."
Xiao Yanqing's indifferent gaze fell on Song Hui's broken arm. His fingertips tightened almost imperceptibly, and a word rolled out of his throat: "Hmm."
The first thing Song Hui did when he saw his master was shame and guilt. He subconsciously avoided him and wanted to hide his broken arm.
He is unworthy of Master's teachings.
But at this moment, facing the cold and indifferent expression of his master, Song Hui felt inexplicably aggrieved.
Su Yan, along with the remaining disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, landed on the deck. He stepped forward, bowed to Xiao Yanqing, and said calmly with a hint of fatigue, "Master."
Xiao Yanqing: "Lingling, Xiao An will take your second brother back to rest first."
"yes."
Before leaving, Gu An glanced at them and knew that his master and senior brother had something to say privately.
The disciples of Tianjian Sect around were busy with their own things, leaving only Xiao Yanqing and Su Yan.
Su Yan told Xiao Yanqing everything that happened on the island.
He thought about it and realized that Shen Chaochao’s affairs were not hidden.
Xiao Yanqing said calmly, "Yes, Master understands."
Su Yan wanted to know what his master thought of Shen Chaochao, but he hesitated for a long time and finally did not ask.
Ever since that incident, Shen Chaochao was expelled from the sect by her master, and her master never mentioned her again.
Perhaps, Master doesn't care either...
…
Other sects' disciples at least had a few who could stand. Seeing that none of his own disciples could stand, with three unconscious and one seriously injured and threatening to faint at any moment, Sect Master Huanhai was so anxious that he started spinning in circles.
"Oh, how come you are so badly injured? Didn't you see the teleportation array that Master buried inside? If you can't win, don't you know to teleport out? Master won't blame you."
While muttering to himself, the leader of the Huanhai Sect squatted down, tremblingly checking the pulse of the unconscious disciples, and then checked their bodies. Although they were all seriously injured, he breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they could still be saved.
The Huanhai Sect Master seemed to remember something, his expression turned extremely ugly, and he cursed:
"It's all the fault of that little Demon Lord. If he hadn't been so unreasonable, I would have activated the teleportation array earlier and brought you all out."
"Next time I see him, I will tear his head off and kick it like a ball."
Jian Mo pulled the corner of her mouth and said weakly: "Master, I thought I would never see you again."
"I am useless. I can only watch my senior brother and the others get hurt, but I can't do anything."
If... she was a little stronger, could she be able to help the senior brother and the others more?
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you hadn't been using your spiritual power to protect Shi Qing and Xiao Si's heart meridians, how could they still be alive?" The Huanhai Sect Master patted her head and said earnestly, "Mo'er, you did a great job."
All in all, this matter is his fault.
Because of his negligence, his disciples were almost killed.
Although he knew it was dangerous, when the Demon Lord came on the cloud to provoke him, he still couldn't suppress his anger and almost made a big mistake.
