Chapter 616: Chapter 616: A Blessing in Disguise Amid Misfortune
Elysia Xander’s pupils shrank sharply.
As the last bit of spiritual light seeped into her forehead, she rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.
Preston Xander withdrew his hand and then said in a deep voice,
“Put her to the side first, and after dealing with this situation, we’ll take her back.”
Even though he punished her unilaterally, because she let the Undying Bone escape out of personal interest, both the Capital tropolitan Hospital and the Security Bureau would hold her accountable again.
But most likely, that’s all there is.
After all, they can’t ignore the sacrifices her parents made for the Mystical Sect.
Since the Undying Bone had hidden its aura when it escaped, two deans decided to set up a tracking array to quickly find the whereabouts of the Undying Bone.
At this mont, Gregory Xander glanced around and then asked Scarlett Jennings,
“Where is Senior Brother Jingze?”
Scarlett Jennings replied, “He and Senior Brother Nathan are rescuing people at the west warehouse of the village.”
After the flood dragon teleported and disappeared, Scarlett rembered the ninety-nine Yin girls sacrificed with blood at the west warehouse and sent Senior Brother Jingze back there.
Later, when a large number of living corpses were drawn over, she took a mont to send a ssage to Nathan, asking him to rush over there too.
They were there to guard the barrier in the warehouse to prevent any living corpses from seeking the blood scent, and also to try to rescue people first.
At that ti, the Myriad Corpses Formation wasn’t completely finished; so people inside were… still alive.
Leaving a few to guard the living corpses, the group hurriedly rushed to the west warehouse of the village.
Seeing the warehouse with half of its roof broken and the chaos inside, along with the rows of girls lying on the ground, everyone couldn’t help but curse the person behind this viciously.
To cultivate the Undying Bone, so many lives were sacrificed!
This is why people of the Mystical Sect despise the heretical paths so intensely.
“Senior Brother Jingze, Senior Brother Nathan.”
The group led by Scarlett Jennings quickly moved forward to relieve the two whose complexions had already turned pale.
Before they arrived, the two had already tended to the wounds and stabilized the souls of the victims.
Senior Brother Jingze said with heavy sadness,
“Sixty-four people have already lost their breath due to excessive blood loss; the rest are barely hanging on with their souls.”
Fortunately, Nathan arrived and used the healing arts of the White Sect to save the lives of several people. Otherwise, the death toll might have been higher.
Nathan, at this mont, sat limply on the ground with his head lowered, still appearing sowhat lost,
“I should have co earlier.”
Hearing this, everyone felt a bit heavy-hearted.
It was the dean of Sea City who comforted,
“At least thirty-five people survived.”
This was a bit of luck amid misfortune.
Everyone began to handle the aftermath, and Scarlett Jennings, noticing Nathan’s clearly overdrawn state of spiritual power, secretly placed the North Spirit Stone given by Samuel Chalrs into his arms.
His condition was clearly worse than hers.
As soon as Nathan ca into contact with the North Spirit Stone, he widened his eyes in surprise, but soon held it tightly with both hands.
The Lloyd Village required too much post-disaster managent, and the group had to stay in the village temporarily until the next day when the main force of the Mystical Sect arrived, allowing Scarlett and her team to return first.
With such a major incident occurring, the academy’s competition had to be temporarily postponed. Upon hearing the news, Donovan Jennings imdiately brought a special plane to take Scarlett and her party back to Sea City.
He was unaware of any business the Mystical Sect had to deal with; he only knew his sister needed rest now.
The Jennings Family had been worried about Scarlett Jennings since the broadcast cut off, and when she just returned ho, the entire Jennings Family ca over.
Even Grandma Jennings and Chase Jennings eagerly ca out, and seeing Scarlett returned with all her limbs intact, they muttered softly,
“I told you nothing would happen to her.”
Lucas Jennings, however, wiped his tears and rushed over imdiately,
“Sis! I just knew you’d be alright! I wasn’t worried about you at all! I never worried about you, boo hoo hoo…”
His emotions ca on too strong, instantly making everyone else seem overly calm.
Everyone: …
Hey, the way you’re acting makes it seem like we’re all indifferent.
It’s wrong to say they’re worried, and wrong to say they’re not.
Isria Jennings also paused for a mont, then rushed over to hug Scarlett Jennings’s leg, loudly proclaiming,
“I’m not worried either! Sister Scarlett is so amazing, she can even fly!”
The two young ones, eager to express their “trust” in Scarlett Jennings, sowhat eased the worry in everyone else’s hearts.
Scarlett felt a warm sensation in her heart; the tension and fatigue from these days gradually began to fade away.
Before entering the door, she instinctively glanced in the direction of the Chalrs Family.
Afterwards, she recuperated at ho for another full day.
Samuel Chalrs never ca by.
After so thought, she proactively sent him a ssage, informing him that she was back.
Samuel Chalrs didn’t reply to her imdiately as he usually would.
Instead, almost two hours later, he responded with a single word.
[Okay.]
He added that he was temporarily on a business trip outside and couldn’t co to see her.
Scarlett Jennings couldn’t quite describe the feeling.
It was sowhat lancholic.
And inexplicable worry.
…
On the other side.
Dashiell shivered as he finished replying to the ssage and then looked at the sleeping Samuel Chalrs inside the barrier.
After a while, he eagerly looked over at Simon, who was leisurely cracking sunflower seeds on the other side.
“Brother Dragon, will Brother Samuel be okay?”
Simon paused slightly in his seed-cracking, glanced at him,
“Call Lord Simon.”
After a pause, he added,
“And he’s not your brother.”
Just a small flood dragon, presumptuous enough to call that person ‘brother’.
Even he doesn’t dare to claim brotherhood!
Despite being sowhat nervous and afraid upon sensing a real dragon up close for the first ti, Dashiell instinctively refuted, mumbling,
“I’ve always called him Brother Samuel, and Brother Samuel never minded.”
He picked this up after hanging around with Lucas Jennings.
But actually, he used to directly call Samuel Chalrs by his full na.
Thinking back, he regretted it.
Perhaps Brother Samuel thought his use of the full na was disrespectful, which is why he never helped him transform into a dragon.
Recalling the sensation of transforming into a grown flood dragon that day, Dashiell beca sowhat excited.
He felt like he was just a tiny bit away from dragon transformation on that day.
Truly, he hadn’t chosen the wrong person of destiny back then.
As long as he steadfastly follows Samuel Chalrs, he’ll eventually transform into a dragon one day.
Yes, a dragon even mightier than this Brother Dragon here!
Listening to his mumbling, Simon squinted his eyes, inwardly snorted coldly, and added,
“I can guard here; you can go do whatever you need to do. Just rember not to say anything foolish when you go back.”
He waved his hand, intending to dismiss this juvenile flood dragon.
Unexpectedly, Dashiell, under his heavy pressure, defiantly said with a stiff neck,
“No! I brought him here; I’m definitely going to stay here and guard.”
Though he didn’t know exactly what Samuel Chalrs’s true form was, it was certainly an impressive existence.
This dragon could forget about stealing credit from him.
Simon: …
Are all juveniles this “cheeky” now?
What to do, kind of feel like giving this flood dragon a smack.
