Chapter 337 She Wants to Get to the Bottom of Everything
"So what? Huh? So what?!" Hui laughed almost maniacally, tears streaming down his face. "Di Lin won't let me go? You won't let me go? So what? You think killing me will end it all? Hahaha..."
His laughter abruptly stopped, his blood-red eyes fixed on Yu Mo, then swept over everyone else, finally landing on Ye Shang, whose expression was icy cold, and a vicious sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Anyway, even if you all unite, you might not be able to defeat Lord Beast God! Everything you've done is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, futile and pointless!"
With an almost pious fervor and determination, he declared: "This is my choice! I am willing! What does it matter if I sacrifice myself for the great cause of the adults, for the arrival of a new era?"
He became more and more agitated as he spoke, and the last bit of clarity in his eyes was gradually replaced by madness. The aura that Ye Shang had suppressed around him began to show an abnormal fluctuation again.
"Oh no! He's going to take his own life!"
Ye Shang's eyes narrowed, and he instantly saw through Hui's intentions.
Although Yuan Xiao was immersed in immense grief, the remaining rationality and maternal instincts that were stirred up by a cold hatred made her realize in an instant that something was wrong.
wanna die?
"Nightfall! Don't let him die!"
Almost at the same time Yuan Xiao spoke, Ye Shang had already moved.
The black and red mist he transformed into was even faster than when he stopped the comet from self-destructing.
The maniacal smile on Hui's face froze instantly, and the resolute determination to destroy himself in his eyes was forcibly extinguished by an even more domineering demonic energy before it could fully ignite.
Comet let out a short, painful groan, his body convulsing violently, as if countless black, blood-streaked chains burst forth from his body, binding him tightly from head to toe, inside and out.
These chains, formed from the purest and most domineering demonic energy, not only sealed off all his power but also firmly imprisoned every inch of his flesh and blood and every wisp of his soul.
He couldn't even blink or have a thought, let alone destroy his own essence.
Black and red mist overflowed from the comet's seven orifices, and then condensed again in front of the comet into the human form of Nightfall.
When he fully transformed into human form, Hui was already lying on the ground like a lump of mud, with only his eyeballs still able to move slightly.
Nightfall's methods were more terrifying than he had imagined.
This persistent, soul-deep torment left him unable to live or die.
With Chi Miao's help, Yuan Xiao slowly walked up to Hui.
She looked down at her enemy, who could only lie helplessly on the ground, her eyes cold and devoid of any warmth, as if she were looking at a dead object.
Her voice was soft, yet resolute, carrying with it the hatred in her heart, clearly reaching Hui's ears, and the ears of everyone present.
"Want to end your own life and die a quick death? Ha... that's too easy for you."
Yuan Xiao slowly squatted down, looking directly into Hui's eyes, which were filled with fear and resentment, and spoke each word as if delivering a verdict.
"You harmed my child, you made me and Di Lin suffer like this... Do you think death will end it all?"
She shook her head, a chilling smile curving her lips, devoid of any genuine joy, only filled with endless hatred and pain.
"No, I will let you live. Live consciously and painfully. I will let you witness firsthand how the 'Beast God' you serve is destroyed. I will make you taste all the pain and torment in the world, to atone for my child."
"Your life is now mine. You don't even have the right to ask for death until I allow you to die."
After saying that, she stopped looking at Hui's eyes, which had turned ashen and desperate in an instant, stood up, and said to Ye Shang, "Take him with you, let's go back."
Ye Shang nodded, his fingers twitching slightly. The demonic chains binding the comet tightened, lifting it up like cargo and suspending it half a foot above the ground.
Yu Mo, Chi Miao, and Ao Shuang watched Yuan Xiao's retreating figure.
At this moment, Yuan Xiao stood up straight, though her trembling and fragility were still evident.
But the coldness and decisiveness that emanated from the very core of their being sent a chill down their spines, while also stirring up endless heartache and anger within them.
They all understood that the pain of losing her son was like the cruelest carving knife, leaving an indelible scar on her heart.
But no matter what, they will stand by her side, forever.
"Let's go back to Tiger Lion City."
Yu Mo said in a deep voice, took a step forward, gently put his arm around Yuan Xiao's shoulder, and transferred a warm force to her: "Di Lin may already be waiting for us. Let's talk about everything when we get back."
Yuan Xiao's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed, leaning against Yu Mo's chest. She nodded gently, closed her eyes, and forcibly suppressed the surging tears.
Now is not the time to be weak.
She wants to go back.
She wanted to see Di Lin.
She wanted to find out everything.
And then... take revenge.
The group, carrying the imprisoned comet, left the Moon Reef that had brought them so much pain, and quickly headed towards the coast along the path they had come from.
They had come slowly to track and search for their prey. On the way back, however, they were eager to return and, having become very familiar with the island's paths, their pace was much faster.
After passing through that desolate and eerie forest, and stepping onto the gray-white beach again, the sky was still shrouded in the eternal darkness of Illusion Moon Reef.
Without lingering, Yu Mo and Chi Miao led Yuan Xiao directly into the sea, while Ao Shuang flapped her wings and flew high, following closely at low altitude.
Ye Shang, carrying the comet bound by demonic chains, also transformed into a streak of black and red mist, flying close to the sea surface.
The return journey was unexpectedly smooth.
Perhaps it was because of the silent threat of the Burning Sea, or perhaps it was because they had passed the "test" of the Sea Feast, but on their way back, they did not encounter any more attacks from sea beasts, and even the songs and illusions that had once bewitched them had disappeared without a trace.
When they broke through the barrier and returned to Tiger Lion City, they finally saw the sun again after a long time.
The warm sunlight shone on the sea and the city walls, dispelling the chill and oppression brought by Illusion Moon Reef, but it could not dispel the heavy gloom in Yuan Xiao's heart.
When Ze Hui saw Hui being carried by Ye Shang using demonic chains, his eyes turned fierce.
When he saw Yuan Xiao, who was being protected by Yu Mo and Chi Miao, with a pale face, empty eyes, and a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, his expression changed drastically.
"Xiaoxiao!" Zehui rushed forward, wanting to help Yuanxiao, but Yuanxiao gently avoided him.
Yuan Xiao raised her head, looking at Ze Hui with a bewildered expression, her voice hoarse yet calm: "Ze Hui, has Di Lin returned?"
Zehui felt a pang of pain in his heart. He looked at Yuan Xiao's eyes, which seemed to have lost all their luster, and nodded heavily: "He just arrived... He... He's waiting for you at the palace."
