Jiang Xuelan spoke, her voice still a little hoarse, but clearer than before, breaking the silence in the cave.
He shifted his body slightly, adjusting to a more comfortable position, his gaze remaining on David with a hint of almost imperceptible concern.
David didn’t turn around, and his hands didn’t stop moving; The chaotic power at his fingertips continued to form complex array patterns on the stone wall.
Then he simply said, “A mortal realm enslaved by the gods for a thousand years. Humans were forced to create nuclear bombs and detonate them periodically as offerings, while the gods absorbed nuclear energy to purify and develop themselves.”
I destroyed those sacrificial towers and returned the sky to them.
In just a few words, he summarized the thousands of years of suffering from the Earth of Ashes and his own actions.
His tone was flat, as if he was telling a trivial matter, or as if he had just brushed off a speck of dust.
But Jiang Xuelan could hear the danger and determination hidden behind that indifferent tone.
He had watched David’s actions and knew that behind every seemingly easy move he made, there was countless amounts of planning and effort.
He paused, his fingertips gently tracing the edge of the jade bed, and said softly, “You’re always like this. No matter how difficult the situation, you’re used to bearing everything yourself and never talk about it easily.”
David finally finished setting up the last array pattern, and the gray-purple halo at his fingertips slowly receded into his body.
He turned his head to look at her, his purple eyes held a faint question, but the coldness in his eyes faded slightly, replaced by a subtle gentleness.
He walked slowly to the bedside, stopped, and waited quietly for the woman to continue her story.
Jiang Xuelan shook her head slightly, a faint smile appeared on her lips, her cold blue eyes reflected David’s figure: “It’s nothing.”
I just feel that no matter where you are, even the deepest darkness can be penetrated, and even the most desperate situation can offer a glimmer of hope.
His voice was soft, yet filled with firm conviction; the experiences of the past few days had deepened his trust in David.
David didn’t answer, but walked over and sat beside her. The Source of Chaos slowly condensed into a small ball of warm blue light in his palm and gently attached it to his shoulders and back.
The power seeped into his meridians like a stream of spring water, flowing slowly along the damaged blood vessels, nourishing his scorched body foundation and his drained blood and energy.
Wherever the pain passed, the stinging pain in her meridians slowly subsided, and the last trace of paleness on Jiang Xuelan’s face slowly faded, replaced by a faint blush.
The two sat in silence for a while, the cave filled with a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, a world completely different from the terrifying battle in the Blood Abyss Rift they had just witnessed.
Inside the cave, only faint breathing sounds and the subtle hum of chaotic energy could be heard. Time seemed to stop at this moment, and all conflict and danger were suspended outside the cave.
“I felt something else in the turbulence of the void.”
Jiang Xuelan suddenly spoke, her icy blue eyes slightly raised as she stared at the stone wall above the cave, her tone containing a hint of seriousness, “Before that fall, I vaguely saw Senior Xuanzhenzi using his sword light to protect the direction of the Seven Fairies.”
They must be together; at least they didn’t split up in early fall.
However, the spatial turbulence suddenly became extremely violent halfway through, as if an external force tore through the passage, completely disrupting everyone’s trajectory.
He frowned, as if trying to remember more details, his fingertips tightened slightly, showing his inner unease: “Ning Zhi and Sonya they were swept away by the black vortex.”
The aura of the vortex was strange, not like the turbulent fluctuations of the void itself, but rather like a corner of a closed space passage that suddenly leaked out.
The atmosphere was so dark and dense that it seemed to swallow all light; even divine sense would be instantly swallowed up if one probed, making it impossible to trace their whereabouts.
David’s hand paused for a moment, and an almost imperceptible dark glint appeared in the depths of his purple eyes.
Black vortex.
Jiang Xuelan’s description gave him a vague idea, but it was still unclear and needed more information to confirm.
He nodded without asking any further questions, and said calmly, “Get some rest. I’ll take care of the rest. Wherever they’re taken, I’ll find a way to find them.”
Jiang Xuelan did not refute, and slowly closed her eyes.
He trusted David’s judgment and knew that his current condition would only slow his progress if he forced himself to play along. Only by recovering his strength as quickly as possible could he help him.
He slowly regulated his breathing, guiding the spiritual energy in his body to merge with the chaotic energy injected by David, gradually recovering his damaged meridians.
Just when the atmosphere in the cave had calmed down, a series of hurried and heavy footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the cave entrance.
The footsteps were chaotic and hurried, filled with clear urgency and fear, breaking the silence of the valley.
