The appearance of that three-winged demon beast made the situation in Ice Waterfall City even more dire.
"Brother Bu Po, what kind of monster is that, and how can it be so much more powerful than your Blood Cloud Beast?" Xuan Meimei, seeing the flying flood dragon which looked like a small mountain and sported three wings in the air, turned utterly pale with fright.
She always thought that Xuan Wuji’s Blood Cloud Beast was the most powerful, but only after seeing the flying flood dragon today did she realize it was far more formidable.
"Xuan Wuji’s is but a Blood Cloud Beast cub, this one is..." Only Yun Sheng, who was present at the scene, is a summoner and could truly sense the might of that demon beast.
That demon beast, in Yun Sheng’s senses, was far more powerful than both the Centipede Ant General and Zong Ren’s Bat King, only just slightly less than the Divine Beast Suanni she had encountered initially.
If she wasn’t mistaken, that flying dragon must be at the peak of Holy Beasts, having broken through the Commander-level, at the very least, it was of the Lord Level.
What’s worse, for a beast of this level, even the Elf’s most adept Sealing Demon Arrow Technique would hardly be effective.
Such a demon beast could wipe out an entire army in an instant.
Ice Waterfall City, as Xianju Country’s most important border defense city.
There were no residents living here, but looking at the direction in which the flying flood dragon was traveling, it seemed to be moving further into the territory of Xianju Country.
Yun Sheng was shocked in her heart as she looked towards the masked female prisoner in the sky.
Aloft, the winds were fierce, and the masked female prisoner’s face was obscured by the mask, impossible to discern any emotion at this moment.
She was completely cold and indifferent, neither happy nor sad, like a puppet, but undoubtedly, everything she did was of her own volition.
Could it be, that she came to Ice Waterfall City, lying dormant for so long, just to break the seal of this flying flood dragon, with the purpose of...
Anxiety began to arise in Yun Sheng’s heart.
The other party’s actions were definitely not as simple as merely escaping from prison; judging from the current situation, the masked female prisoner’s strength was extraordinary.
The earlier punishment and fainting, could those have been all an act?
Yun Sheng felt a sense of being deceived.
Her care for the masked female prisoner, however, was genuine and sincere.
The masked female prisoner could escape at any time, but she didn’t. Her goal was to wait for today.
Her aim was to destroy Xianju Country!
No, realizing this, Yun Sheng was profoundly shocked.
Xianju and Penglai Country are separated by a single sea, and for many years, the two countries have had nothing to do with each other. Latest content publıshed on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
Penglai has not connected with the other four countries on the continent due to its geographical location, but that doesn’t mean Penglai Country lacks ambition.
On the contrary, with the backing of such a formidable power as the Summoning Court, Penglai might very well be the most ambitious.
She, could not just stand by and watch Xianju Country being destroyed by the hands of that flying dragon and the masked female prisoner.
Yun Sheng’s intention in coming to Xianju this time was not to kill too many Elves; her sole purpose was the Life Water.
She had a good relationship with the Divine Wind King and held a favorable impression of the peace-loving Elves. Even during the prison break just now, she refrained from murdering the innocent.
If, because of her, because of Emperor’s Song, Ice Waterfall City were to be slaughtered and Xianju Country was to suffer heavy casualties on the Queen’s birthday, that would not be something Yun Sheng wished to witness.
"Yun Sheng, we should leave. This time, Xianju Country might be facing a catastrophe," Yuan Bupo also realized that the Masked Female Prisoner, as well as the Three-winged Flying Dragon, were not something they could stop with their current abilities. Perhaps only the Emperor Hong City Lord’s summoned musical beast could contend with this Three-winged Jiao.
They better leave before the Flying Dragon notices them.
If they can’t find the Life Water for the time being, they can always look for it later. It’s much better than losing their lives.
"Bo Bo," Yun Sheng communicated with Bobbie, "are you still able to go on?"
"Dear master, Bobbie is fine, but Bo Bo wants to teach that bad woman a lesson!" Bobbie huffed and puffed.
It had the Linglong Beast Tower, and the wound on its wing wasn’t serious. The grudge of being ambushed by Xuan Meimei, however, it remembered well, jotted down in Little Black’s notebook.
"Then prepare for a desperate fight; we might die," Yun Sheng furrowed her brows.
Just as Yuan Bupo was about to remind Yun Sheng, he noticed her suddenly dashing forward, sprouting a pair of strange wings on her back, already soaring mid-air.
"Yuan Bupo, head to the north side of the city. Once you see a gap in the city wall, immediately leave. I’ll stay behind to help the Elves take down the Flying Dragon," Yun Sheng told Yuan Bupo her method of exiting Ice Waterfall City, which she saw on the defense map.
Without waiting for Yuan Bupo to protest, Yun Sheng no longer hesitated and flew toward the Elf Warriors.
"Everyone, don’t panic," seeing a fugitive who, instead of fleeing, was flying towards them.
Thinking they might be attacked from both front and back, the Elves immediately split into two groups,
One group to stop the Flying Dragon, and another to aim their bows and arrows at Yun Sheng.
At this moment, their greatest enemy was the Flying Dragon. The Elf Warriors had already discovered that the Flying Dragon’s target was deep within Xianju Country, and they had no time to chase after the fugitives now.
In fact, most of the Elf Warriors in Ice Waterfall City had either been swallowed by the Flying Dragon or struck by magic from the Female Summoner in red.
Currently, they were just barely managing by relying on the Elf Clan’s battle spirit and their determination to defend Xianju Country.
"You don’t have to be afraid! I’m not here to attack you; I’m here to help. I am good friends with your Divine Wind King. Earlier, I was imprisoned due to a misunderstanding. If you don’t believe me, you can look at my Magic Wand; it bears the Wind Elf Mark," Yun Sheng said, lifting her Magic Wand.
Indeed, the Magic Wand radiated a strong aura of the Wind Elf Mark.
Elves only bless those with pure intentions.
Once the Elf Warriors heard that Yun Sheng knew the Divine Wind King and sensed the strong Elf aura on her, which was different from ordinary humans,
This aura was comparable to the aristocracy of the Four Great Elf Clans, causing the Elves to let go of their doubts.
Among the Elves, an Elf Captain wielding a curved bow stepped forward and bowed to Yun Sheng, "Friend of the Divine Wind King, thank you for your righteous aid. But you should flee. No one here can stop the Three-winged Blood Jiao. We have already sent a distress signal to the Elf King Tree, but even if the King Tree sends reinforcements, they cannot arrive here before nightfall."
Elves are mostly straightforward by nature; an enemy is an enemy, a friend can be fully trusted.
The intent of the Elf Captain was clear to Yun Sheng: if she stayed, there was only a path to death.
