Chapter 103 The Adventure of Kihara
what?
Did Ninth Brother escape?
With the explosive force that soared to the sky, the entire palace hall was instantly razed to the ground. Apart from Xiao Feng and his son and the Golden Blade King, everyone within a kilometer radius of the palace was pulverized by this force.
Xiao Feng, trembling, bowed and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "However, we captured his mount."
Hmph! It's just a mount, what use is it if I catch it?
Seeing that Young Master Zhurong was on the verge of exploding in rage, Xiao Feng hurriedly explained, "Young Master Zhurong, don't underestimate this mount just because it's a mount. Ninth Brother calls it a brother. From what we know, Ninth Brother is very fond of this mount named Xiao Hei. He will definitely come back to save it."
Moreover, this mount is a divine beast from the heavens, its rarity making it practically priceless.
At this moment, Elder Qi also spoke up: "Young master, since things have come to this, please do not be too angry. Just as Chairman Xiao said, let him take full responsibility for arresting Ninth Brother here."
"Fine, I'll give you one more chance. If you still can't catch Ninth Brother, you have no reason to exist in this world." After leaving these words viciously, Young Master Zhurong turned and left.
After exchanging glances, Xiao Feng and Jin Ren both sighed.
Jin Ren spoke first: "President Xiao, I am powerless to help in the world of Muyuan. Our lives depend entirely on you, President Xiao."
"Since boarding your ship, I have deeply regretted it."
After saying that, Jin Ren began to arrange for people to rebuild the main hall.
Xiao Feng angrily said, "Move all the remaining forces of the merchant guilds into the Muyuan World and capture Ninth Brother with all our might."
Xiao Tian looked at his father, wanting to say something, but in the end he remained silent, saying only, "Father, I'll go make the arrangements," and then left the hall filled with rubble and debris.
When Xiao Feng arrived at his bedroom, he relayed his father's orders to the five attendants who had been following him.
The female attendant from the Wood Plains spoke to Xiao Tian telepathically, "Young Master, after such a long pursuit of Ninth Brother, we have very few Emperor-level experts left."
The world of Kihara is a continent that we don't fully understand yet, teeming with monsters and fraught with danger.
Furthermore, given the geographical environment of Kihara's world, it's impossible to conduct a comprehensive search like on other continents.
"Oh! I know that too."
However, Ninth Brother is currently seriously injured and has no one to help him. He can only recover in the Wood Plains Forest.
We'll first mobilize manpower, mainly to conduct a search and investigation within the Kihara Forest.
As for the major cities and tribes within the Kihara Continent, we can only proceed gradually.
Just as the five henchmen were about to leave to carry out their orders, Xiao Tian, as if he had made some important decision, transmitted his voice to them, saying, "If you find any trace of Ninth Brother, don't make a fuss. Notify me first."
The five people exchanged glances, nodded in acknowledgment, and then turned and left.
At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu was being carried by Xiao Huo towards the depths of the Muyuan Forest.
After two days and two nights of non-stop flying, Little Fire finally crossed the boundary of the vast and boundless Woodland Forest. However, it was already exhausted.
Back then, in order to create that incredibly realistic sun, Little Fire didn't hesitate to sacrifice its own precious primordial power. And just two days ago, it unleashed its primordial power without reservation. Not only that, but throughout this long journey, it has also been tirelessly carrying Zhu Chongjiu forward day and night.
Just like Little Gold and Little Earth before, Little Fire has exhausted its energy and can no longer maintain its human form, so it has no choice but to revert to its original form as an elemental spirit.
The small body shimmered with a faint light and slowly landed on Zhu Chongjiu's broad back. Then, as if all its strength had been drained, it clung tightly to him and quietly drifted into a deep sleep.
After the small fire merged into Zhu Chongjiu's body, the forest began to move without wind.
The surrounding vegetation glowed faintly and began to extend its tentacles toward Zhu Chongjiu, who lay motionless and unconscious on the ground, gradually enveloping him.
After Zhu Chongjiu was completely wrapped up, he slowly sank into the green earth.
The only thing on the ground was that ordinary-looking great sword.
Zhu Chongjiu had a very long dream.
He dreamt of his family, who had gone from robust young men to elderly people in their twilight years.
I dreamt that I was living a happy and fulfilling life with my family, and finally passed away peacefully.
Until, in a dream, he saw Xiao Hei engaged in a fierce battle, shielding him from hundreds of Emperor-level powerhouses. Xiao Hei's body was covered in wounds, and its once gleaming black scales were almost completely destroyed.
While fighting back fiercely, Xiao Hei kept repeating, "Kill one more person, and we can buy more time for Brother Jiu."
At this moment, Zhu Chongjiu was already in tears, but he could only stand there like a spectator, unable to move at all.
Seeing that Xiao Hei was about to die tragically under the siege of those terrifyingly powerful Emperor-level experts, Zhu Chongjiu's heart was instantly filled with raging anger. His eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, and he tried with all his might to break free from the mysterious force that tightly bound him.
Each struggle felt like a life-or-death battle against fate, yet the force was as unbreakable as a fortress of bronze and iron. However, Zhu Chongjiu did not give up. He gritted his teeth, exerted all his strength, and finally took a difficult small step forward. Just then, he suddenly felt a jolt throughout his body and abruptly opened his eyes.
At the same time, an extremely gentle voice, like heavenly music, softly rang in his ears: "You're awake!" This voice was like a gentle breeze, gently caressing his soul; like the shimmering river water under the sunlight, sparkling with a warm and bright light; like the spring breeze brushing across the calm lake, creating ripples; even like a loving mother gently stroking the baby in her arms, full of endless love and care.
Zhu Chongjiu was completely immersed in the beautiful sound, and a long-lost feeling welled up within him—peace, relaxation, and carefree joy. This feeling seemed to transport him back to his distant childhood, a time when the world was free of worries, filled only with pure happiness and tranquility.
Just as Zhu Chongjiu was reveling in the sound, he was surprised to find that his body had begun to emit a faint green light. The light was initially very weak and indistinct, but as time went by, it grew brighter and brighter, gradually enveloping his entire body.
After a while, Zhu Chongjiu gradually felt an unprecedented and wonderful change taking place within him. He felt that his mind was exceptionally clear and his thinking was incredibly agile; his body also became incredibly comfortable and light, as if he could freely soar through the sky.
