Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies

Chapter 129: No hometown anymore

The earth cracked, and giant cracks appeared like the mouths of ferocious beasts, devouring unsuspecting people.

And those people were being "digested" by the magma.

Pedestrians ran and wailed, but it was in vain.

In fact, this scene was not only happening in Fenglin City, but throughout the entire Fenglin City region!

In every town and village, almost everywhere.

Such a large-scale and terrifying ground fissure, the authorities had no prior knowledge of it!

As a result, the entire Fenglin City region suffered the most devastating casualties since the founding of the Zhuang Kingdom.

Before the first crack appeared, Wei Quji had already reacted in the Lord's Mansion.

He quickly determined that this was a disaster that would spread throughout the entire Fenglin City region!

Wei Quji stood in the Lord's Mansion and glanced in the direction of the City Guard's residence, where his blood relatives, his son, were located.

But it was only a glance.

Then, he was swept up by a hurricane and stood in the sky above Fenglin City!

This was his choice.

He judged that a disaster of this level must have been caused by human actions. If he could find the source of this catastrophe in time, perhaps he could salvage something.

In the air, he rushed higher, wanting to guide the hurricane at higher altitudes to help him expand his perception to the limit.

However, at this moment, he saw a pair of eyes.

A pair of eyes with only the whites visible.

"Hehehe, no one in the entire Fenglin City region can escape!"

A fist descended from the sky, sending him crashing down with a punch!

Boom!

Wei Quji was blasted into the crack.

And this person spoke with great skill, categorizing Wei Quji's act of ascending into the air as an attempt to flee.

The organized rescue efforts in the entire Fenglin City were almost instantly dispersed.

Even the Lord of the City chose to flee. How could ordinary cultivators still have the will to fight?

At this moment, Wei Quji couldn't care about all of this.

The raging hurricane pushed the magma aside as he soared through the air.

With astonishment in his voice, he asked, "Dong Ahe, why is there an Outer Tower Realm cultivator here?"

Sixth Rank Soaring Dragon, Fifth Rank Inner Palace, Fourth Rank Outer Tower.

After opening the gate of heaven and earth, each realm had its own heaven and earth.

The Inner Palace Realm had already explored the limits of the physical body and had stronger individuals who had obtained divine abilities.

And then there was the Outer Tower Realm.

Among the Four Holy Spirits, the Outer Tower Realm was the tallest tower. It guided the power of the stars, established the Tower of the Four Saints, and ascended to the outer domain by guiding starlight. Its power was boundless.

So even though Wei Quji was a strong cultivator in the Inner Palace Realm, he was easily blasted out of the sky with just one punch!

However, there was no response.

There was only the clamor of wailing and the cries of pain, pouring into his ears one after another.

In this city, there was mourning.

...

The sudden ground fissure caused some people to instantly fall and be swallowed by the magma. The remaining people were plunged into great panic.

With Tang Dun's strength, it was almost impossible for him to survive in this level of disaster.

Especially Jiang Wang had a strong premonition that the disaster was just beginning!

But he had no way to deal with it.

The Bone Escape Technique was the only way for Jiang Wang to surpass his own speed limits and reach Jiang Anan's side as quickly as possible.

He couldn't consider the safety of the entire city or sacrificing his lifespan.

He was alone, and he could only care about Jiang Anan.

In this city, he had many attachments. Friends, classmates, brothers, and teachers...

There were delicious food, beautiful scenery, and drinks he loved...

In this city, there was Linghe and Zhao Rucheng.

He could fight to the death for any one of them, there was no doubt about it.

But if he could only fight for one life, he could only save his sister. He couldn't even consider himself.

It could only be Jiang Anan!

When Jiang Wang appeared in Mingde Hall, the children were running and crying.

The old teacher shouted, "Children! Come behind me! Come behind me!"

But he didn't know what good it would do to go behind him. He just instinctively felt that as a teacher, he should stand in front of the danger.

In fact, he was old and weak, without any combat power. Any young person could easily knock him down. He couldn't save anyone, he couldn't protect anyone.

Jiang Wang materialized from the white light, and he saw Jiang Anan's panicked face in the school.

"Young man!" The old teacher recognized Jiang Wang and shouted, "Save the children, save the children!"

Bloodshot eyes had already reddened his eyeballs, and in this instant, they were filled with tears of guilt.

But Jiang Wang had no choice.

He could only hold Jiang Anan in his arms and, without thinking, also hold the other little girl Jiang Anan was holding. Once again, he turned into white light and rushed out of the city!

He couldn't stay, he couldn't stop, there was no way to stop!

His power was only established within the range of the Circulating Realm. In the face of such a calamity, he was completely powerless.

The white light swiftly crossed Fenglin City, passed through the familiar towns and villages, and finally rushed out of the Fenglin City region.

When the white light dissipated, Jiang Wang landed, with only two frightened little girls by his side.

Jiang Anan and her friend, Song Qingzhi.

This was the limit of his abilities.

At this moment, they were located in the northeast direction of Xishan, and behind them was the Qichang Mountain Range.

Looking back at the entire Fenglin City region from here, everything within sight was shrouded in mist.

Jiang Wang recognized it. It was the same mist they had seen in Xiaolin Town back then.

The mist that concealed the mortal world and the underworld!

Back then, under the shroud of this mist, the entire Xiaolin Town was wiped out. Now, the range had extended to the entire Fenglin City region. What would be the outcome?

He dared not imagine.

Suddenly, Jiang Anan burst into tears and hugged Jiang Wang, saying, "Brother, your hair!"

Jiang Wang tore off his hair bun, letting his long hair fall loose, only to discover that his hair had turned white at some point.

Crossing the entire Fenglin City region in an instant with two children was a speed that far exceeded his own limits.

And the price was... his lifespan and white hair.

Only at this moment did Jiang Wang awaken from the immense grief and feel an unprecedented weakness and powerlessness.

He had never experienced it before, he didn't know what it felt like to "age".In his youth, he could stay awake all night, studying, cultivating, carefree, with boundless energy. As he grew older, the first glimpse of moonlight would make his eyelids feel as heavy as a thousand pounds.

Life has different faces at different times.

"…Did you dye it on purpose? Does it look good?" Jiang Wang stroked An An's little head, trying his best to sound natural.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, even he was startled.

Was that weak and feeble voice really his, Jiang Wang's? Was it really the voice of that seventeen-year-old boy?

"It looks good!" An An nodded vigorously.

Just now, she had experienced a drastic change in the world. She had experienced an unprecedented disaster.

In the boundless fear, she experienced her brother's godlike rescue.

She had experienced a sudden separation from her teacher and classmates at school, and the little girl didn't know that it was a permanent separation between life and death.

She also experienced her brother suddenly aging a lot.

Looking back in the direction of home, she couldn't see anything clearly. Only the annoying fog obscured the way back, slowly obscuring everything.

After all, she was only five years old and couldn't understand what all this meant.

She just thought, try not to make her brother too sad.

"It looks good…" she said, clutching her brother's clothes.

At this moment, Jiang Wang felt an unprecedented weakness in his heart.

He slowly squatted down, holding his sister, his forehead against hers. He was at a loss for words.
