Chapter 489 - Lost
"Yiya!"
Early morning, in the sky above the vast ocean, Xiao Budian was like a mischievous child, screaming and beating his three pairs of meat wings continuously. He suddenly dove down, creating a wave on the ocean surface, and then suddenly shot up a thousand meters into the sky.
Tang Huan squinted his eyes and quietly sat on Xiao Budian"s back.
Beside Xiao Budian was the "Flamewing Phoenix King" who was clad in red clothes that looked like fire. The fiery red wings that were condensed from energy would flap with strong gales from time to time.
It had been ten days since Mu Yan woke up.
On the third morning after Mu Yan woke up, Tang Huan had already left the city with "Flamewing Phoenix King" and Xiao Budian. Initially, Tang Huan had also planned to bring Mu Yan back to Origin Continent, but he was rejected by Mu Yan, who said that he would stay in the city to hone his cultivation.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Tang Huan couldn"t force her hand, and could only ask Xing Meng to take care of her.
Speaking of which, Mu Yan was also a pitiful person. Her father was a peak Eighth Stage Demon Marshal of Demon Clan who was close to the Demon King, and her mother was originally a Stage Six Martial Master"s Stage Six Martial Master, but was kidnapped and taken away by him. After was born, she committed suicide.
In the Demon Clan, the mixed bloods who had the most similar appearances to the Human Clan would all be centrally adopted. They would be taught the Human Clan"s martial arts skills and sent to the Origin Continent or the Glory Continent when they grew up.
Although Mu Yan"s father held a high position in the Demon Clan, she was still unavoidably adopted as a child.
It was precisely because of this talent that she was able to avoid being bullied by the weak and preyed upon others. Furthermore, at the age of sixteen, she had entered the Demon Clan"s secret "Flowing Flower Merchant Guild".
After a few years of doing business, Mu Yan"s position in the merchant guild had grown higher and higher. In the end, he had even become one of the two great stewards of the "Flowing Flower Merchant Guild" in the Origin Continent.
If not for this, she wouldn"t have the qualifications to enter the Demon Clan"s secret plane and meet Tang Huan there.
After experiencing that unforeseen event within the Luo Fu World, it was already impossible for Mu Yan to return to the "Flowing Flower Merchant Guild", and even more so, it was impossible for him to return to the Demon Clan.
"Mu Yan..."
Mu Yan"s charming face flashed before his eyes as a hint of pity flashed across the bottom of her heart.
With Mu Yan"s condition, staying in the Holy Spirit Continent was indeed safer. She was even regarded as a "traitor" who colluded with the Human Clan. If she was found "revived from the dead", it was likely that she would be hunted down by the Demon Clan hiding in the Origin Continent and the Glory Continent.
"Yiya!"
Xiao Budian suddenly cried out happily.
Tang Huan regained his senses, he opened his eyes slightly and looked out, to see that in the distance, there were mountains moving up and down. It was obvious that they were close to land. In less than ten days, he had already arrived at Origin Continent from Holy Spirit Continent.
Tang Huan was not particularly satisfied with his speed.
According to the news that he had obtained from the mouths of s.h.i.+yu and Feng Ling, if he used all his strength to activate that level of s.p.a.ce Aircraft, he would be able to easily travel ten thousand kilometers in a single day. When he was in the Cloud Sky City, the only reason why Tang Huan had delayed for another day was because he was pondering about the spatial magic that Feng Ling had given him.
There was an enormous difference between spatial and elemental magic.
After fusing with the "Heavenly Core Pearl" and comprehending the five elements of heaven and earth, the speed at which Tang Huan learnt the five elements of magic was unbelievably fast. But regarding spatial magic, Tang Huan was a little confused. Until he left, he didn"t understand the profoundness behind it.
In the end, Tang Huan could only put down his spatial spell and head to Forgotten City.
"Xiao Budian, let me do it." Tang Huan"s interest was piqued, he laughed out loud, and the majestic and powerful energy in his body started to stir, a pair of wings quickly condensed into form behind him. With a light pat, his body floated up, and even rushed in front of Xiao Budian.
"Yiya!"
When Xiao Budian saw this, his body actually shrank rapidly. In an instant, he had turned into a small ball of meat, catching up to Tang Huan who had already slowed down. He then squatted on his neck and proudly waved his little claws at the "Flamewing Phoenix King", who was a bit behind, and grimaced.
Time flowed like water. In just a few days, Tang Huan and the "Flamewing Phoenix King" had pa.s.sed through the entire Origin Continent and entered the vast southern seas.
Tang Huan had long heard of Forgotten City.
Back then at Feng Ming Mountain, Tang Huan had snuck into the "Phoenix Lair" where the Flamewing Phoenix King was and obtained many items, among which was a map of the sea islands. When he first obtained it, Tang Huan was still a little confused. But later on, Tang Huan found out that the person he was pointing to should be the Forgotten City that was south of Origin Continent.
When he had obtained the "Forgotten City" map that Xing Meng had drawn, Tang Huan had compared the two and verified this point.
However, although the two maps depicted the location of the "Forgotten City", the emphasis was not the same. Xing Meng had drawn the location of the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire", but the specific location of the map was the opposite of the "Xuan Ming Initial Fire".
Unknowingly, several days had pa.s.sed.
"Not yet?"
When it was almost evening, Tang Huan dispersed his wings and fluttered them to the back of Xiao Budian, who had just transformed into a new body.
According to Xing Meng, when she left the Origin Continent back then, she had spent an entire four days to arrive at the island where the "Forgotten City" resided.
This was already more than one day longer than Xing Meng.
It was the same as at the seaside, they did not deviate from their original direction. Furthermore, Tang Huan"s speed did not seem to be slower than Xing Meng"s, it was truly inconceivable that he would need so much time under such circ.u.mstances. Tang Huan indicated for Xiao Budian to slow down, and in the blink of an eye, they started to scan the area.
After a while, a large s.h.i.+p suddenly entered Tang Huan"s line of sight, on the tall mast, a fiery red flag was fluttering in the wind. There was a huge "Guest" character embroidered on the flag.
"Feng Ming, do you remember that boat?" Tang Huan"s brows knitted even tighter.
"If I remember correctly, we met him yesterday and left him behind, but now he"s running to the front." Flamewing Phoenix King snorted softly, her face was expressionless, but her eyes revealed a look of surprise, as though she had also noticed that something was amiss.
"You"re right, it"s the same boat as yesterday."
Tang Huan said in a heavy voice.
Tang Huan saw that boat yesterday. In his memory, all the pa.s.senger s.h.i.+ps that pa.s.sed by the Furious Waves City would have this flag. The Forgotten City was not an isolated land, it had a pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p that could travel to it, so it was not considered strange. Tang Huan saw it from afar, but he did not care.
However, right now, a pa.s.senger s.h.i.+p that was supposed to be in the back started to run toward the front. It was truly unimaginable.
