Chapter 391: Disaster (4)
Before the players of the Cashya Empire could explain, there were another ten flashes, which made everybody change their expression. When the light faded, the royal members of the Ovey Empire and the Shengyao Empire became gloomy too. Seeing that, Kai almost couldn’t hold back his delight.
“What happened? Why did you come out?” asked the royal members of the Ovey Empire and the Shengyao Empire in disbelief. Muqing and Xiaoxiao were too strong to be defeated. What happened exactly?
Muqing and Xiaoxiao quickly explained the situation. Everybody changed their expression again, especially Zheng Ran and Bi Xing. There were another few flashes on the Forsaken Maze’s exit. Kai frowned, but accepted what might happen. Since an accident happened, it was not unusual for the contestants to quit.
“Feng!” Yun Sheng looked for Yun Feng the moment he came out, and so did Murong Yuntian and Ze Ran. Qu Lanyi glanced around quickly, and became gloomy when she didn’t see Yun Feng.
Yun Sheng didn’t see Yun Feng, and immediately became pale. Kasa didn’t see Yun Feng either, but she put on a smile. Kai walked to them. He was surprised that everybody was here except Yun Feng.
“Where’s Yun Feng?” asked Kai. Kasa smiled, “In the maze, of course. Uncle Kai, the Karan Empire will surely win!”
“I’ll search for Feng!” Yun Sheng immediately turned around, with craziness on his face. Murong Yuntian immediately held him back. “You won’t be able to help.” Yun Sheng waved his arm quickly. “Let go of me! I need to find Feng!”
Murong Yuntian pursed his lips, and slashed Yun Sheng’s nape, making him fall unconscious. Kasa looked at him in disgust, and Kai stood in silence. Having learned of the accident in the maze, Kai knew how serious it was. He was silent for a moment after learning that Yun Feng didn’t come out. Then he said, “Yun Feng should be capable of protecting herself. We must trust her.”
Both Murong Yuntian and Ze Ran were solemn. Qu Lanyi, on the other hand, raised her brows and glanced at Kasa and Kai. She turned around and said, “I’ll head back. Fengfeng will be fine. I believe in her.” After saying that, Qu Lanyi vanished. Because the contest wasn’t over and Yun Feng didn’t come out, it was impossible to tell the result. The Cashya Empire didn’t want to end the contest either. Maybe they blamed Yun Feng for Carson’s death.
Everybody was still waiting. At the same time, a person emerged in the sky above the Forsaken Maze and floated, declaring furiously, “I will kill whoever hurts her!”
There was only one week to go until the end of the international contest. Another week had passed since the accident in the Forsaken Maze. Everybody had been anxious during the week, but for different reasons.
All the empires except Karan were observing the situation nervously. They were all thinking the same. As long as Yun Feng didn’t come out, Shengyao and Ovey would have as many survivors as Karan did. In such a case, the three empires would all be qualified to explore the relics. Cashya was apparently the most unfortunate one. It had lost Carson, and its summoner’s assistance didn’t really help. The Cashya Empire had truly suffered a huge loss.
Besides, the contest had been held in their territory, and the Forsaken Maze was their idea. They didn’t expect themselves to suffer the biggest loss. They would’ve gone home in embarrassment if the contest were already over.
Ovey and Shengyao simply wished that Yun Feng would stay there. They didn’t think she could possibly survive such a disaster. They were simply enjoying the show. If they were truly lucky, they might win the qualification of exploration in the end.
On Karan’s side, everybody had been gloomy and depressed. Yun Sheng, in particular, had contacted his father with the Sound Transmission Jade and informed him of the situation. After hearing everything, Yun Jing didn’t say anything, but Yun Sheng could feel his father’s grief and fury. Was the child of the Yun family doomed to leave them?
“Let’s trust Feng. She’ll be fine,” said Yun Jing after a long time of silence. Yun Sheng nodded, trying to hold back his misery. He cut the call and walked to the exit of the Forsaken Maze, where he stood for a long time.
“Yun Sheng, my young friend,” said a man in a low voice. Yun Sheng turned around and saw Mr. Zheng Ran. He managed a smile, barely. “Mr. Zheng Ran.” Zheng Ran stood next to Yun Sheng and observed the Forsaken Maze not far away. He heaved a sigh.
“Yun Feng is the only kid that I’ve ever thought highly of over these years. She’s a genius. When she grows up, she will astonish everyone,” said Zheng Ran with affirmation and admiration. It was hard for him not to praise such a junior.
Yun Sheng smiled. “Feng will be very happy to hear your compliment, Mr. Zheng Ran.”
Zheng Ran put on a smile. “She’s too mature to be flattered by my admiration. She’s very calm and reliable. I would’ve asked her to stay in the Mercenary Union, but it was a waste of her talent.”
Yun Sheng didn’t say anything. His dear sister had always been the best! How many young people could compare to her?
“She’s very capable. I’m sure she’ll be fine,” said Zheng Ran. He then turned around and patted Yun Sheng’s shoulder. “If anything happens to the Yun family, feel free to come to the Mercenary Union. We will offer help if necessary.”
Yun Sheng was stunned. Everybody knew that the Mercenary Union was never involved with the families within the empires. It had always been independent. Yet, the deputy president of the Mercenary Union’s branch in the Karan Empire offered to give the Yun family a hand, which was rather surprising.
