David nodded and bent down to carry Yunxi on his back.
“Walk.”
He turned around and walked out of the Heavenly Fire Pit.
The Sky Fire Beasts surrounded the area, growling softly, but none of them dared to charge forward.
As they stared at the purple light radiating from David, the ferocity in their eyes gradually turned into fear.
The man finished off their king.
The power radiating from the man instilled a deep sense of fear within them.
David walked steadily, step by step.
Yunxi lay on his back and could feel his heartbeat, strong, steady and calming.
“David,” he said quietly.
“Um?”
“Thank You.”
David smiled.
“You’re welcome. Hurry up, I have to speed up.”
He took a deep breath, and the chaotic power and supreme fire source within his body erupted simultaneously.
Purple light and golden flames intertwined on his body, turning into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.
Then, he jumped up, carrying Yunxi on his back and Jiang Xuelan with him, then rushed out of the Heavenly Fire Pit.
Behind them, the flames in the Heavenly Fire Pit suddenly flared violently.
It was not anger, nor a roar, but rather a resonance.
As David carried Yun Xi out of the Heavenly Fiery Pit, his legs gave way and he fell to his knees as soon as he landed on the ridge.
Yunxi slipped from his back and was caught by Yunquan.
“Xi’er! Xi’er!” Yunquan’s voice trembled as he hugged his daughter, tears streaming down his face. “Are you okay? Are you okay?”
Yunxi leaned against his father’s chest, forcing a smile on his pale face: “Dad, I’m fine.”
“You said you were fine!” Yunquan looked at him covered in blood and was too heartbroken to speak.
He turned around and shouted, “Medicine master! Where is the medicinal master!”
Two physicians from the ghost clan rushed over and hurriedly checked Yunxi’s injuries.
He suffered a broken left arm, three broken ribs, and damage to internal organs of varying severity.
But for the ghost princess, none of these things were fatal.
What was truly worrying was that the magical energy within his body was almost exhausted, and his soul was scorched by the heavenly flames.
“He needs to rest.” The older doctor breathed a sigh of relief. “The princess’s injury is not serious, but she is just overworked. She will recover after resting.”
Yunquan felt relieved and turned to David.
David sat on the ground, panting.
His condition was not much better than Yunxi. Its body was covered in wounds left by the Heavenly Fire Beast, and golden blood was still seeping out. He had also exhausted most of his chaos power.
But his eyes were so bright, it was almost scary.
“Mr. Chen.”
Yunquan walked over and bowed deeply. “I cannot express my deepest gratitude. From now on, you are the honored guests of Youyue Kingdom. We will do whatever you ask, even at the cost of our lives.”
David waved his hand: “Don’t thank me. Take them back to recuperate first.”
Yunquan nodded and arranged for someone to lift Yunxi up.
Jiang Xuelan refused to be helped by others. Although he was also quite exhausted, his injuries were much lighter than Yun Xi’s.
He walked over to David and looked at him from above.
“You’re hurt too.”
“It’s just a minor injury,” David smiled. “A little rest will heal it.”
Jiang Xuelan remained silent.
He stretched out his hand, a wisp of ice blue light gathered in his palm, and gently placed it on David’s shoulder.
Cold energy flowed into his body through his shoulder, gradually eliminating the burning sensation of the wound.
David felt much better: “Thank you.”
Jiang Xuelan withdrew her hand and said calmly, “You owe me a favor.”
David was surprised: “What?”
“You owe me a favor.” Jiang Xuelan turned around and walked towards the group. “Remember to pay me later.”
David watched her retreating figure, feeling both amused and irritated.
The group started walking back.
Yunxi was at the front, with Yunquan following closely beside her.
The demon soldiers surrounded Yunxi, some singing, some cheering, and some wiping tears.
“The princess is back!”
“The princess is back!”
The sound echoed in the mountains, lingering for a long time.
David walked behind the group, his steps a little heavy.
Not because he was tired, although he was very tired, but because he always felt like something was watching him.
The feeling was subtle, like an invisible thread stretching from the direction of the Heavenly Fire Pit, slowly tying itself to his heart.
He stopped and looked back.
The fireplace was still burning.
Fiery red flames blazed at the bottom of the ravine, but it was much quieter than before.
The fire creatures stopped roaring and lay quietly in the flames, as if waiting for something.
They didn’t chase them.
They are waiting.
What are we waiting for?
David shook his head and turned to follow the group.
However, in his heart he knew that this matter was not over.
