Chapter 1247 Xiao Hua's Drastic Transformation(2) "You… you… you…" Xiao Hua's speech faltered as her thoughts raced to formulate her next words. "Ah!" Suddenly, Xiao Hua let out a sharp cry of pain. "Xiao Hua?! Are you alright?!" Yuan exclaimed with deep concern in his voice. Xiao Hua dropped her sword, which dissipated into thin air upon contact with the ground, and she began to stagger, clutching her head in evident distress. "No… Wait… Not now! Just a few more minutes! There is still something that I must do!" Xiao Hua exclaimed, her words appearing as if she were in a conversation with herself. She looked at Yuan and extended one of her hands toward him, almost as though she was longing for him. "You… Who are you…? Why do you look like— Ah!" With one final scream, Xiao Hua lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground, and her appearance began reverting back to normal. "Xiao Hua!" Yuan quickly went to pick her up, but there was no response from her. He immediately checked her vitals, sighing in relief upon confirming that she was still alive. "Is she okay?!" Xi Meili rushed over when she snapped out of her shock. "Yes, she's just sleeping." Yuan nodded. "Xiao Hua is an Exile— someone banished from the Nine Heavens because of a crime they or someone in their family had committed. "Anyways, what in heaven's name just happened? Who is Xiao Hua?" Xi Meili's body shuddered in fear just recalling Xiao Hua's chilling aura and overbearing presence. "Xiao Hua is an Exile— someone banished from the Nine Heavens because of a crime they or someone in their family had committed. In her case, her family had committed some kind of crime and became Exiles." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚 "Hm? If they are banished from the Nine Heavens, how is she here? That other guy as well." Xi Meili asked the first question that came to her mind. "Because Exiles are given a chance at freedom through the Supreme Heaven's Legacy. I don't know the details, but if an Exile fulfills this legacy, they will be able to get rid of their status as an Exile and return to the Nine Heavens without being hunted by the entire world." "I see… Her family must've done something unspeakable if someone like that guy was that terrified of her family." Xi Meili sighed as she glanced at Zhaohui's headless body. "..." Yuan wanted to defend the Asura Clan, but after witnessing Xiao Hua's aura that reeked of blood, he couldn't utter a word. Yuan checked her status after seeing this notification, and to his surprise, her Asura Clan techniques and other new information had disappeared, almost as though they were never there in the first place. 'Just who is Xiao Hua, and how is she related to the Evil God?' He wondered inwardly. "My liege." A voice suddenly echoed in the vicinity. "This voice… Is that you, Dong Ye?" Yuan stood up while carrying Xiao Hua in his arms. The following moment, Dong Ye appeared before him like a ghost, startling Xi Meili. "What's the matter?" Yuan asked him. Dong Ye looked at the slumbering Xiao Hua and asked, "That presence I sensed just now. She must've awakened." Yuan nodded, "That's right. What do you know about it?" "We can speak of this later, my liege. We must leave this place immediately— before the Heaven's Mandate shows up." "Heaven's Mandate? Who are they?" Yuan raised an eyebrow. "They are the Celestial Emperor's private army, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang responded before Dong Ye could. "Oh? You know them?" Yuan asked. "It's impossible not to, especially if you live in the Upper Heavens." "Indeed, and they will, without a doubt, kill her if they see her." Dong Ye said as he glanced at Xiao Hua. "Let's get out of here." Yuan quickly said after hearing that Xiao Hua's life was in jeopardy. "Understood. By the way, my liege, should I take care of him? It won't take longer than a second." Dong Ye spoke as he looked in the direction of Xiong Lu, who went into hiding after seeing Zhaohui being killed by Xiao Hua. Yuan pondered for a second before shaking his head, "Leave him be." "As you wish. Let me guide you to a secure location," Dong Ye declared, waving his sleeves and enveloping them in a shroud of inky black smoke. After a few seconds, when the smoke dissipated, they vanished like ghosts, including Zhaohui's corpse and blood. Once Yuan was gone, Xiong Lu could finally log out of the game and immediately did so. Because Zhaohui was his servant, he was unable to log out because he was technically in combat. Several minutes after Yuan's group had departed, a contingent of figures adorned in gleaming silver armor arrived at the scene, each exuding an aura of profound and overwhelming power. "An aura that matched the Asura Clan had appeared in this location less than 10 minutes ago." One of the soldiers announced. "Are you certain? I can't sense anything, and an aura belonging to the Asura Clan wouldn't disappear so quickly." Another doubted this information. "The Asura Clan has been sealed away for countless years now. If even one of them had managed to escape, there's no way we wouldn't know about it. It must've been an error." "I agree, but we still had to do our due diligence." "Hm? Isn't that the Nameless Emperor's Tomb? What a nostalgic place. I remember coming here right before I joined the Heaven's Mandate." One of the soldiers reminisced. "Alright, enough fooling around. Let's hurry up and take a look around. We're still in the midst of a crisis with those escaped Immortals, after all." The soldiers began inspecting the area, and to nobody's surprise, they couldn't find any solid evidence that someone from the Asura Clan was there. "As I thought, there's no way someone from the Asura Clan would be out here. That would be far more catastrophic than the escaped Immortals." The soldiers sighed in relief after they ended their investigation. "I would rather catch 100 escaped Immortals than deal with a single individual from the Asura Clan, especially that crazy bitch..." "Enough, we're done here." The Heaven's Mandate left the scene shortly after.
