Free Web NovelChapter 348: Li Weiyang’s Confusion
In the skies where Xiao Fei and Qian Zhong had fought, an air of tranquillity prevailed. There were no visible signs of the intense battle that had occurred just moments ago. The space was intact, the sky remained blue, and everything seemed harmonious. It was as if a battle between two Law Domain Realm entities did not just take place a minute ago.
However, the space in the sky suddenly warped and distorted before a figure walked out.
The figure was encompassed in a blinding orange light, it was as if a second sun had suddenly appeared in the sky.
As the blinding radiance dissipated, it unveiled a striking figure, a handsome young man with an aura of regal elegance. His luscious, flowing blonde hair cascaded down his shoulders, adding to his captivating charm.
He stood tall and confident, dressed in a resplendent golden imperial gown that accentuated his royal bearing. His hands were adorned with pristine white gloves, adding an air of refinement to his appearance.
Every aspect of him seemed to embody the very essence of an imperial prince as if he had walked out of a magnificent tale of royalty and power.
"It has already ended, that was quick." The young, handsome, blond-haired young man muttered under his breath.
A blue whirlpool suddenly appeared in the sky. This time, a blue twinkle shot out of the whirlpool and appeared before the blond-haired young man.
The twinkle stopped before the blond-haired young man and revealed an enchanting figure within.
In the midst of the scene emerged an enchanting figure, a woman with azure-hued hair that dropped gracefully down to her waist. Despite having her hair tied up with a phoenix pin, its vibrant colour and length still captivated attention.
She draped herself in flowing blue robes, attempting to conceal her alluring figure, yet the allure peeked through. Her body exuded an alluring, voluptuous grace that she couldn’t fully hide.
Her face was a masterpiece of symmetry and refinement, with features so delicately carved that they seemed to belong to a goddess. A single glance from her bewitching eyes was enough to ensnare the heart of any man, for her gaze held a captivating allure that could not be resisted.
Her presence was like a beautiful melody that left everyone spellbound in her wake.
"I knew you would be here, Flaming Prince." The azure-haired woman giggled.
"Call me by my name, Lan Xinyue." The blond-haired young man disregarded the woman, focusing on how she addressed him instead.
"Fine, Li Weiyang." Lan Xinyue pouted, she put special emphasis on Li Weiyang’s name.
Li Weiyang merely nodded in acknowledgement, leaving Lan Xinyue with a displeased expression on her face.
Soon after, a handful of cultivators swiftly made their way to the location. A few materialized out of thin air, traversing the void itself, while others manifested as streaks of luminous arcs. Each cultivator showcased their distinct, personalized methods of movement as they converged at the scene.
Among them were those who appeared weathered by time, others emanated a youthful energy, and a few stood out due to their distinctive and unconventional looks. Yet, the common factor that bound these cultivators together was their shared affiliation with the Law Domain Realm.
The majority of them belonged to the Early-stage of the Law Domain Realm, with only a handful exuding the aura of the Mid-stage Law Domain Realm. The sole cultivator at the Late-stage Law Domain Realm present was none other than Li Weiyang.
The Law Domain Realm cultivators exhibited an unusual atmosphere that seemed to revolve around Li Weiyang. Regardless of their individual identities or origins, a collective blend of reverence and trepidation was palpable in their gazes towards Li Weiyang.
"Brother Li Weiyang," Lan Xinyue’s voice rang out, breaking the silence, "I can discern Qian Zhong’s presence here, along with the aura of a Rank 8 Demonic Beast. Could it be that he crossed paths with a formidable beast and met his end?"
Although an outward hush seemed to have fallen upon the Law Domain Realm cultivators, an intricate exchange was occurring through their divine senses, as they maintained a discreet form of communication.
A unanimous nod spread through the assembled cultivators, a silent agreement formed by the shared perception of both Qian Zhong’s presence and the distinct aura of a formidable Rank 8 Demonic Beast.
The realization struck them that none among them had encountered Qian Zhong or even come across the trail of an injured Rank 8 Demonic Beast during their respective journeys to this area. The inescapable conclusion began to take root, Qian Zhong’s fate had likely ended in demise.
The matter of the mysterious Rank 8 Demonic Beast was more enshrouded in uncertainty. No certainties could be drawn, only speculations floated in the collective mind of these cultivators.
In the contemplation of Qian Zhong’s possible demise and the survival of the Rank 8 Demonic Beast, a perplexing question arose, if indeed Qian Zhong had fallen, where had the elusive creature fled to, evading the senses of all the gathered Law Domain Realm cultivators?
However, the hypothesis that Qian Zhong might have emerged victorious against the formidable beast presented its own set of riddles.
If he had managed to overcome the creature, the aftermath should have left him grievously wounded, making it improbable for him to effectively conceal himself from the vigilant eyes of so many Law Domain Realm cultivators, particularly someone as powerful as Li Weiyang.
The same complex puzzle could also be applied to the hypothetical situation where the Rank 8 Demonic Beast had triumphed over Qian Zhong.
The sombre pronouncement emerged from Li Weiyang’s lips, breaking the silence that had enveloped the gathering. "It appears highly likely that Qian Zhong has met his demise," his voice carried a tone of solemn conviction. "The atmosphere here is heavy with an overwhelming presence of resentment, fear, and regret."
The consideration of Qian Zhong’s fate inevitably led to further speculation. "And what of the Rank 8 Demonic Beast responsible for his potential end?" inquired one of the adjacent Law Domain Realm cultivators, voicing the collective query that lingered in the air. "Is it feasible that Qian Zhong might have managed to bring down the creature in an act of mutual destruction?"
Even among these seasoned Law Domain Realm cultivators, known for their shrewdness and sagacity, this scenario puzzled them greatly. It was logical to expect some traces, a telltale trail of the Rank 8 Demonic Beast that had allegedly claimed Qian Zhong’s life.
Yet, despite their relentless pursuit of clues, their efforts bore no fruit. It was as if the creature had vanished without a trace, evaporating into the ether right after dealing the fatal blow to Qian Zhong.
"Perhaps the Rank 8 Demonic Beast managed to elude us by slipping into the void. The spatial conditions in this area remain turbulent and unstable, making it a plausible hideout where detection would prove difficult," suggested another perceptive Law Domain Realm cultivator.
Revisiting the discussion, Li Weiyang assumed the role of the analytical mind once more.
"By factoring in the elapsed time of their clash, the swiftness with which I reached this very spot first, and the necessary duration for an effective retreat into the void, all while considering the factors of speed and imperceptibility," Li Weiyang’s voice resonated with a measured tone, "It becomes a logical deduction that the Demonic Beast must have wielded a power no less than that of a High-tier Rank 8 entity."
His concise summary was the outcome of methodical calculations built with the insights presented by the preceding Law Domain Realm cultivator.
"A High-tier Rank 8 Demonic Beast? In this vicinity?" The question came from a Mid-stage Law Domain Realm cultivator, his tone tinged with disbelief. After all, the 10 Sovereigns were known for meticulously monitoring the whereabouts of all High-tier and Peak-tier Rank 8 Demonic Beasts in the Bright Yang Continent.
The incredulity was warranted, as the presence of a High-tier Rank 8 Demonic Beast in this particular vicinity would hardly go unnoticed by the vast majority of Law Domain Realm cultivators in the Bright Yang Continent. Moreover, it stood to reason that if such a creature indeed inhabited this area, Qian Zhong would have likely steered clear of it, given his awareness of the danger it posed.
’This doesn’t make sense. I can distinctly discern the aura of only a Mid-tier Rank 8 Demonic Beast in this area. Yet, for the creature to successfully evade detection and escape my senses, it would necessitate a level of power akin to that of a High-tier Rank 8 Demonic Beast.’ Li Weiyang’s thoughts held a sense of genuine confusion, as even his extensive wisdom struggled to unravel the paradox before him.
Once more, the situation perplexed Li Weiyang.
His divine sense undeniably detected the distinctive aura of a Mid-tier Rank 8 Demonic Beast. However, his logical acumen insisted that the creature must wield the might of High-tier Rank 8, considering its adeptness in vanishing swiftly and seamlessly from his perceptions. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
The other Law Domain Realm cultivators were also baffled. Not only because of what they had picked up with their divine senses but also because of Li Weiyang’s words. They couldn’t put their finger on a single probability of how the situation could have unfolded after Qian Zhong’s demise.
