Bit by bit, the self-combustors flew nearer to Feng Tianlan. With only a three-inch distance between them, their bodies ballooned to the extreme. In their very next breath, they would explode at the same time. Everything within a hundred-mile radius would be leveled, and all life annihilated!
Everyone couldn’t help but shut their eyes, waiting for death to befall them.
However, three moments had passed, and they did not hear any explosions. Instead, the spiritual pressure holding them down gradually disappeared. They could not resist opening their eyes, and their orbs widened in shock at what they saw!
Feng Tianlan stood beneath the storm as her robes flapped in the roaring wind. Her black hair swirled with the gales, beautiful to the extremities of paleness and fragility. She looked like a divine immortal under the flashes of lightning. It was as if she would fly off to the high heavens along with those thunderbolts at any moment.
The most shocking thing was that those self-combustors had all stopped three inches away from Feng Tianlan. Their eyes widened in fear and shock, and their bodies that were about to explode began to shrink at a visible speed. At the same time, their bodies returned to normal. But their eyes as wide as saucers made them look even more horrified, as if they had seen something incredibly eerie and incomprehensible.
A hundred miles away, the man waiting for long still did not hear from the self-combustors. He frowned and contemplated, then decided to make his way quickly to where they were. He hid in the dark and saw everything that happened, especially the flickering red dot between Feng Tianlan’s forehead. He too, could not contain his surprise, “Queen!”
If Feng Tianlan was the Queen, who was Gu Yun? There couldn’t possibly be two Queens, could there?
“Middle-stage Spiritual Emperor!” Wu Yuan looked at Feng Tianlan and exclaimed under his breath. Did she just advance to a Middle-stage Spiritual Emperor within five breaths?
However, what shocked him more was that the Spiritual Force on Feng Tianlan was still rising. It rose at such rapid speeds that it looked like she might even advance to an Advanced-stage Spiritual Emperor!
After a while, Wu Yuan exclaimed once more, “Advanced-stage Spiritual Emperor!”
She used less than 15 minutes to bulldoze through the stages, rising from a First-stage Spiritual Emperor to an Advanced-stage Spiritual Emperor. That was a feat that almost no one could ever achieve in their lives — everyone knew how rare a find an Advanced-stage Spiritual Emperor was.
The man hiding in the shadows felt cold sweat stream down his forehead. He would have been too dumb if he still could not put two and two together.
Feng Tianlan was the real Queen that they had been searching for, and Gu Yun was nothing but an imposter. Gu Yun had used the Queen’s status and ordered the assassination of the real Queen. If the King ever got wind of this, the entire Evanesce City would be annihilated!
He dared not stay for a second longer. He must capture Gu Yun and beg for the Queen’s forgiveness. The assassination of the Queen was not intentional. He was deceived as well!
Wu Yuan fixed his gaze at Feng Tianlan, whose Spiritual Powers were still madly rising. It was a scene indescribable with words. Her Spiritual Force was at the brink of breaking through into the stage of Supreme. Her powers had escalated so much within 15 minutes, and it did not seem like it had any intentions to stop.
This was undoubtedly bad news. If Feng Tianlan kept this up, it was highly likely that the Spiritual Force would rebound and hurt her instead. However, in such times, one should not forcibly interrupt her by calling out, for it would only accelerate the rebounding of Spiritual Force.
Si Mobai, who was far away in the Xuantian Continent and locked in serious discussions, felt a sudden pain from the zhusha in between his brows. A drop of blood seeped out of the red mole, and he looked up immediately exclaiming, “Lan’er!”
Attendees of the meeting stared blankly at the sudden disappearance of Si Mobai. Young Master, we were still discussing how we could go about guarding the passageway between the Guiyuan Continent and the Xuantian Continent! And the heavy responsibility of how to protect our Young Mistress!
Seeing how her spiritual strength kept rising uncontrollably despite already breaking through the stage of Dark Supreme, Wu Yuan and Azurite were as anxious as ants on a hot stove. They could only pace in circles — there was nothing else they could do apart from that.
Crash! Boom!
A bolt of lightning as thick as a man’s arm axed the dark skies all of a sudden. Then, they saw a white figure appear behind Fang Tianlan the very next instant, pulling her into his embrace from behind…
