Chapter 898: Chapter 898 Twin Heavenly Bodies
The first thing that entered his sight were the two blood-drenched corpses and two intact human heads, a scene that instantly sent Yun Cheng’s heart racing, until he saw Xiao ng lying unconscious on the ground with not a trace of blood on her, that he finally let out a sigh of relief and rushed to Xiao ng’s side at top speed.
"Xiao ng, Xiao ng, how are you?" Yun Cheng knelt on the ground, cradling Xiao ng in his arms, and softly calling out to her.
When he discovered that Xiao ng was rely unconscious due to injuries, Yun Cheng’s emotions stabilized sowhat. He let Xiao ng lean on his chest and found the wound on the back of her neck, the oozing of blood and swelling made his heart ache.
Yun Cheng cast the Grass Shines Sunshine magic skill to heal Xiao ng’s wounds. His healing skills weren’t very powerful, and it took a relatively long ti before Xiao ng slowly ca around.
Opening her eyes, her vision hazily moved from the dim sky to Yun Cheng’s anxious face, and Xiao ng said in a puzzled and soft voice, "Yun Cheng? Why are you here?"
Seeing Xiao ng awake, Yun Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and retorted, "I should be asking you that. Why didn’t you return to Heavenly Magic God’s Castle and instead co to the Holy Forest?"
Holy Forest?
Xiao ng imdiately recalled the events before she fainted, and suddenly sat up, the abrupt movent causing another piercing pain in her head, making her moan in agony.
Yun Cheng quickly said with concern, "Take it slow, don’t rush. What exactly happened?"
Xiao ng stood up with the support of Yun Cheng’s arm, and as soon as she looked up, she saw those two blood-drenched, ghastly corpses and couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Yun Cheng pressed on, "Do you know who these two are? Was Qin Sisi with you?"
Xiao ng’s heart clenched, she grabbed Yun Cheng’s arm, and said anxiously, "Sister Sisi was indeed with
at the ti, but after I fainted, I have no idea what happened. Haven’t you seen her?"
Yun Cheng shook his head and replied, "No, I tracked you here by your scent, and when I arrived, I only saw you and those two dead bodies, I didn’t see her."
"Then... then... could sothing have happened to her?" Xiao ng was on the verge of tears in her urgency.
Yun Cheng pressed down on her shoulders, comforting her, "Don’t worry, we’ll go to the Panhu family’s base right now to inform them about this and ask my grandfather and brother to deploy more people to search for her."
Upon realizing Qin Sisi was missing, Xiao ng was completely thrown into disarray and could only nod in agreent to Yun Cheng’s suggestion.
Yun Cheng reassured Xiao ng before turning back to observe the two corpses for a while, and then his gaze landed on the two intact human heads, a glimr of confusion showing in his eyes.
He reached out his hand and slowly lifted the black cloth covering their faces to reveal two completely unfamiliar faces.
Unable to make sense of it, Yun Cheng could only keep the two human heads in the storage ring for now and left the Holy Forest with Xiao ng, heading straight for the Panhu family’s base in Scholar City.
Yun Cheng had co to the Panhu family’s base early that morning and left after lunch, but before long, he hurriedly returned, which puzzled Clan Leader Pu Chen and Yun Wang imnsely.
However, after Yun Cheng briefly recounted the events, their complexions turned grave. How important Qin Sisi was to Ye You, they couldn’t be clearer; her disappearance was unquestionably a colossal issue for Ye You.
Yun Cheng took out the two heads from inside the storage ring and laid them in front of Pu Chen and Yun Wang.
Yun Wang was also unfamiliar with these two faces, but after Pu Chen squinted and looked at them for a while, he suddenly let out a cold laugh and said cheerfully, "So it’s them, haha, good riddance. Truly deserved!"
Yun Cheng and Yun Wang exchanged glances and asked impatiently, "Who are they?"
Pu Chen didn’t answer imdiately, but said in a low voice, "You should know that, for Tian Xiaozi to usurp power and seize the throne, he naturally did not rely only on his own strength. Those who were banished to the Mountain of No Regrets with cris had been selected by him for their powerful mana and gathered together to form the Twelve Heavenly Body and Thirteen Earth Demon."
Pu Chen paused, then pointed at the two heads and said, "Look, these two have almost identical appearances; they were the twin brothers from the Twelve Heavenly Body, the Eighth Heavenly Body and the Ninth Heavenly Body."
Both Yun Wang and Yun Cheng were shocked, and Yun Wang asked incredulously, "Grandpa, do you an that Tian Xiaozi sent two Heavenly Bodies to assassinate Qin Sisi?"
Pu Chen slowly nodded, "If I’m not mistaken, that should be the case."
"But why? Qin Sisi is just an orphan who ca from the outside world, her magic power is still weak. Why would he go to such great lengths and even risk offending Heavenly Magic God’s Castle?"
Currently, Qin Sisi is a student of the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle. Going after her would provoke the Castle, and coupled with the rule of no killing in Scholar City, the risk Tian Xiaozi is taking is too great; Yun Wang couldn’t understand the reasoning behind it.
After pondering for a mont, Yun Cheng said, "Could it be that he wants to capture Qin Sisi, then force the Yeyou Palace to rescue her, and take the opportunity to eliminate the lord of Yeyou Palace?"
Pu Chen shook his head, "To kill the lord of Yeyou Palace would amount to an official admission of fratricide and seizing the throne, inciting public anger. Tian Xiaozi wouldn’t make this move until absolutely necessary. Moreover, if the Eighth and Ninth Heavenly Body ca to capture Qin Sisi, then who killed them?"
Yun Wang approached and carefully examined for a while, then said with an uncertain expression, "The magic skill used to sever their necks seems to be of the Wind Attribute."
After pausing for a while, Yun Wang turned to Yun Cheng and asked, "Yun Cheng, when you arrived there, did you see any other people?"
Yun Cheng thought carefully and replied, "Besides their four scents, there seed to be two other scents at that place, one of which was sowhat familiar, but the sll of blood was too strong at the ti so I couldn’t make it out. Also, when I was about to find the place, I vaguely saw a red figure flashing by very quickly."
"Wind Attribute? A red figure?" Yun Wang murmured to himself, his expression changing slightly, "Could it be him?"
"Who?" Xiao ng and Yun Cheng asked in unison.
Xiao ng was sowhat distracted; she had been silent since she arrived and only eagerly inquired after hearing Yun Wang seed to have discovered sothing.
Yun Wang hesitated for a mont, did not answer, and only said softly, "I’m just speculating, I’m not certain."
Xiao ng and Yun Cheng exchanged a look, not quite understanding Yun Wang’s thoughts.
Yun Wang then approached Pu Chen and said, "Grandpa, I feel that Ms. Qin must have been saved by soone, there’s no need to send too many people out to search. I will personally go to the Holy Forest and have a look."
Pu Chen, concerned, asked, "Can you manage on your own?"
