Chapter 2598: Ice Flame Continent 56
Editor: Henyee Translations
After Ziluo spotted Kang s.h.i.+, far from stopping in her tracks, she unleashed another surge of spiritual energy hastily, aiming to obliterate the person before Kang s.h.i.+ could intervene.
Resigned to her fate, Little Junior Sister closed her eyes in antic.i.p.ation of Ziluo’s spiritual onslaught.
Yet, Kang s.h.i.+ intervened just in time, thwarting Ziluo’s a.s.sault.
Gu Chaoyan promptly lifted Little Junior Sister, preventing her from collapsing onto the frigid ground.
In his eyes, Little Junior Sister resembled a younger sibling, and he wouldn’t tolerate anyone mistreating her. Ziluo’s actions had irrevocably crossed his moral threshold.
Handing Little Junior Sister to Gao Zhuo, Gu Chaoyan confronted Ziluo. “What grievance do you hold against Little Junior Sister? Why subject her to such cruelty?”
Feeling somewhat aggrieved, Ziluo believed Kang s.h.i.+ was excessively protective of Little Junior Sister, seemingly indifferent to her plight. Before she could voice her discontent, Gu Chaoyan unleashed a stream of spiritual energy. Ziluo attempted to defend herself, but Kang s.h.i.+’s spiritual energy overwhelmed hers. Sent flying, she crashed to the ground, coughing up blood and appearing disheveled.
Ziluo couldn’t fathom it.
She couldn’t fathom Kang s.h.i.+’s cold and heartless response.
“Heartless! How could you treat me like this!” Ziluo cried out in misery.
“You malevolent woman, unjustly harming Little Junior Sister, you deserve the consequences,” Gu Chaoyan declared, refusing even to spare her a glance.
He departed with Gao Zhuo and Little Junior Sister.
Upon their return, Gao Zhuo attended to Little Junior Sister’s injuries.
Despite Gu Chaoyan’s desire to intervene, she realized she had no place to go.
Amidst the irony and heartbreak of the situation, she acknowledged that Little Junior Sister had s.h.i.+elded Kang s.h.i.+ today. If not for him, she wouldn’t have faced such adversity.
Gu Chaoyan recognized the need to gradually make amends to Little Junior Sister in the future. She was determined not to let her endure this injury in vain.
With Gao Zhuo’s a.s.sistance, Gu Chaoyan stepped down from the stage.
On Ziluo’s end, she returned with visible injuries.
Encountering Kang Yan, she intended to implore him for justice. However, before she could utter a word, Kang Yan deduced what had transpired. He responded with a few resounding slaps before leaving.
Enduring a continuous barrage of mistreatment, Ziluo’s fragile mental state had already unraveled. Frustrated, she turned to head back to the True Martial Race to file a complaint.
However, her desire to return was met with impossibility. The First Elder had unequivocally blocked her path, leaving her with no recourse.
Ziluo, who had been the oppressor, now found herself subjected to mistreatment within the Anicca Race.
And so, on that very night…
Little Junior Sister had retreated to her quarters for recovery under Gao Zhuo’s care, while Gu Chaoyan continued with her routine life.
However, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.
Numerous individuals with formidable cultivation levels lurked in her vicinity, prompting her to exercise caution.
Tonight held the promise of an impending event.
Fear did not grip her.
Despite her current peak cultivation in the Martial Emperor Realm, her true prowess likely surpa.s.sed any in the continent. Hence, fear had no place within her. What did she have to fear?
She drifted into sleep as usual.
In the dead of the night…
