Li Ming

Chapter 16

"I"m sorry, I couldn"t save you." Ren Shui whispered to Aurora using his internal energy. "I wish you didn"t reincarnate in Khun Mountains. I... I hope we meet again in the next life."

After Ren Shui finished, the ice completely covered Aurora"s entire body.

"Ah, he was also reincarnated...That"s... That"s why his presence seems so different than others." Aurora thought and before she could lose her consciousness, "But, it"s too bad indeed..."

"Retreat." As soon as Ren Shui spoke, not even a split second and the rest of the Zhongguo Alliance disappeared.

The only thing that remained in the middle of the stage is the frozen icy blue statue of Aurora.

The people down the stage wanted to react when Ren Shui and the others disappeared but when their eyes fell on Aurora"s statue, the words that were about to come out were stuck in their throats.

Everyone was filled with questions but no one wanted to say anything. Only a few smart people knew what and why exactly this happened.

"It"s over!", Great Elder Yuanting broke the silence. He then faced Emperor Taizong Zhelan and slightly bowed, "We apologize for today"s chaos, Your Majesty." He faced back the people in the plaza and said, "To interested applicants, we will see you all in three months."

After he finished, all the Great Elders present floated and hovered beside Great Elder Feng and bowed. They then flew towards the academy without saying anything else.

Emperor Taizong Zhelan also stood up and left the area. He was followed by the Crown Prince, the other princes, the government officials and by the Imperial Harem.

Huh? What is going on? No explanations or anything? The people were confused and started to murmur but what else can they do if the Great Council and the Emperor refused to say anything else?

The other cultivators who joined the chaos and the students of Gouzijian Academy, although also confused, decided to retire.

The protectors ignored the civilians. They started to collect important things left on the stage and the regular guards followed to clean up the area.

Four regular guards were then a.s.signed to dispose the statue of Aurora. They were instructed not to break it in front of the ma.s.ses for "moral reasons" so they will be carrying it somewhere else to destroy it.

As for the people, since they can"t get anymore information, they started to leave one by one.

-----

Back in one of the private rooms of a restaurant, the gongzi placed his teacup back on the table and he stood up.

With disdainful eyes, he said, "Trash."

He removed his hat and his long black hair turned to silver. He was about to leave when suddenly, his chest felt uncomfortable.

His demon fire is going crazy!

"What are you doing?! ", he said internally.

"Stay! Wait! We can"t go!" The demon fire excitedly roared.


"Calm down and tell me!" Even though the Demon Lord is p.i.s.sed, he currently has no choice but to cooperate with his demon fire. He sat down slowly and while communicating with his demon fire, he also did not forget to observe his surroundings.

"Brother! Brother is here!", he shouted like a child. " We have to go down there and find brother! With me and him, no one can touch you in this continent."

The Demon Lord"s eyebrows knitted and a glint can be seen in his eyes. Another demon fire! He must obtain it no matter what!

-----

A minute before the demon fire started to go crazy, the guards a.s.signed approached her statue. The three crouched down to carry but for some reason, the one in front stared at Aurora"s eyes and his mind floated.

One of his companions, angrily reminded him, "Hurry up Chen! I don"t want to be near this cursed witch any longer. The faster we dispose of it, the better!"

The guard in front was woken up by the reminder but he was still staring at Aurora"s eyes, he then asked his brothers, "Brother Bo, are her eyes supposed to stay black even after Great Elder Yui"s Frozen Seed completely swallows her?"

"Huh?! What are you talking about? Did you turn dumb from..."

Before the guard called Bo could finish what he was saying, the entire statue turned to black as fast as the eye could see. Guard Bo and the other two on the side who were holding the bottom of the statue also turned dark and fell lifeless on the ground.

After they fell, a dark fire engulfed their bodies.

"Ahhhh!!!", guard Chen cried and he fell down on his b.u.t.t. He was horrified when he saw his companions die like their life were sucked out from their body but what he saw next made his mouth foam and he fell unconscious.

The ice of the now black statue is quickly melting and the first that moved was the black pupil of Aurora that stared directly at poor guard Chen.

Guard Chen"s scream attracted the attention of the people remaining in the plaza.

"Demon Fire!", shouted Protector Mo. "Move away!!!" He and the other protectors immediately took a handful of white powder from their cosmos sack and prepared to throw it.

But in just a few seconds, to their surprise, the statue is no longer a statue. It has completely melted and Aurora stood up.

The protectors gathered their courage and surrounded her, but another person was hovering on top of them.

"So it"s you." the person said as he stared below.

When he spoke, everyone looked above and their eyes were all wide open.

Demon Lord!

But before they could even move from the shock, he disappeared together with Aurora.

-----

Even though the Great Elders were almost at the gate of the academy, they were still able to sense the abnormal energy back in the stage.

"He"s here!" Great Elder Yui shouted and flew as fast as possible back to the stage.

Great Elder Feng felt the energy and reacted the same time as Great Elder Yui but when they arrived at the scene, they were already a few seconds late.
