Chapter 69:The Divine Calamity
When the others had arrived in the cave, Yixian was standing regally beside Yi Ping and they were sharing soether
When Yixian saw their approach, she sently at them, “You are all here Do you want to have some nuts too?”
Lele sighed softly as she looked at Yi Ping, “I have no appetite”
None of them had any appetite
Xiao Shuai and Han Shaodong had a solemn look on their faces
Yi Ping was looking at the gathering dark clouds and the flurrying winds that were sweeping into the dimly lit cave
But they waited patiently for Yixian to finish her last meal
Han Shaodong asked, “Xian’Er, you eat so simple…”
Yixian sotten that I aetarian? These are delicacies to me”
Han Shaodong sighed, “That’s right Tiotten…”
Yixian sently as she looked calood wines to be shared a us That will be nice too”
Xiao Shuai sighed, “It is a pity that there are none right now…”
The Martial Sage sighed, “That’s right”
Yi Ping iet the wines…”
Xian’Er caught hold of him immediately with a quiet smile, “Silly! By the time you have returned, more than a day will have passed That is just a casual reht?”
Yi Ping hesitated for a while before he was interrupted by Yixian Herdark clouds, “It has come Remember to stay back and don’t come out of the cave”
Yi Ping said bitterly, “Xian’Er! You cannot go out It is too dangerous…surely we can think of another way?”
Xiao Shuai said gravely, “Xian’Er, is there another way?”
Yixian sently, “Brother Shuai, it is already too late Everywhere that I go, the Divine Calamity will follow me This is also the reason why this cave is picked for you to witness the furies of the Divine Calaood, stay away fros”
She paused for a while before adding woefully, “It is precisely because I have killed so many people that my Divine Calamity will be difficult to overcome Let my fate be a lesson to all”
Xiao Shuai stammered, “You call me Brother Shuai…I am still your Brother Shuai? After all that I did?”
Yixian nodded gently, “That’s right”
Xiao Shuai murmured, “Xian’Er…”
Han Shaodong said quietly, “Xian’Er, be strong I know that you can overcome the Divine Calamity”
Yixian said gently to him, “Thank you Brother Han Let the past be the past You should put the past aside and look forward Given your intelligence, you can easily ascend to be a Celestial eventually”
Han Shaodong smiled bitterly, “I have the blood of many in my hands as well Can I still hope for that?”
The Martial Sage quickly said, “Xian’Er, I know that you can surely overcome the Divine Calamity You don’t have to worry about my safety Later when you are in trouble, I will surely…”
All of a sudden, Yixian had raised her fingers and had struck the Martial Sage three times on his chest!
The windforce of her fingers were so resonate and the blows received by the Martial Sage were so loud that the entire cave could feel the windforce that was generated by her fingers!
Xiao Shuai and Han Shaodong was startled that Yixian’s finger skills would be so astonishi+ng that she could even penetrated through the Martial Sage’s Iron shroud skill and to numb him!
The Elee praised Yixian, “Xian’Er, your skills have i through his Iron Shroud Skill and hit his pressure points”
The Martial Sage was suddenly gasping for breathe and he had fallen on his knees, “My foot! Quickly help me to clear my channels!”
The Elee s your Iron Shroud Skill If I fail to hit your channels properly, I may even worsen your numbness I think you have better wait for your channels to clear on its own Unless of course, you want to tell me the weakness of your Iron Shroud Skill…”
The Martial Sage interrupted him, “Do you think that I am foolish and senile?”
But he quickly turned to Yixian to say, “Xian’Er, why did you do that for…”
Yixian said gently, “Brother Ironfist, I know that you will surely come to aid me That is what I am th With your internal strength, it won’t be long before you clear your channels and regain your strength But that will be enough to stop you for acting recklessly”
The Martial Sage hit his fists on the ground as he wailed aloud, “Xian’Er, I…if you are gone, I really don’t knohat my existence is for!”
The Sword Sage sighed and helped him up, “Maybe Xian’Er will live Don’t you think too much”
Yu’Er was downhearted as she tried very hard to withhold her tears, “Protégé Mistress will surely survive the Divine Calamity”
What she had said did not match her emotions
As everyone looked at Yu’Er and her fluffy eyes, they could sense her heartfelt emotions
Yi Ping sighed sadly But at thisbecause he did not want to distract Yixian!
He could only lend her his silent support!
After Yu’Er had ascended as a Celestial, her Dual Inertness Intricacy had advanced to the level of the ‘Reflective Emotions’ Her emotions were like acould be felt mutually by all the others!
Immediately, those ere already saddened by her voice found the silent tears!
Yi Ping and Ji Lingfeng ed to suppress their emotions with their present attainment of the Emptiness Translucence but only barely…
Lingfeng was unaffected but she was sighing melancholy…
Yixian sighed softly This was really so that she did not want to see
Even with her cultivation in the E with tears as she embraced Yu’Er
Yixian said gently, “Yu’Er, you are always ood care of Mei’Er for me She needs your care and support…”
Even as Yu’Er nodded, Mei’Er had already flown into her ean to sob uncontrollable, “I don’t want protégé é mistress to me…I…mistress, I don’t want you to leave us…”
Yunzi and Youxue had already looked aith silently tears as they could not bear to look anymore
Yixian caressed Meijian’s face gently, s fondly at her “Mei’Er, don’t be willful anyood care of him on my behalf”
Mei’Er cried, “I will…I will…”
Yixian held Yujian and Meijian with loving hold as she said, “I’ now This is the lifelong wish of our clan patriarchs to overcome the Divine Calamity and see the world beyond Finally, we have the two of you I am so proud of you…”
Yu’Er pursed her lips as she cried aloud, “This is not Yu’Er wish at all! Without protégé uide us, we really don’t have confident to survive even the next celestial crisis! I only want mistress to be with us forever!”
Mei’Er cried, “Yes Without protégéand there are so ood as protégé mistress Why is Heavens so unfair to us? The one that should be a Celestial Being is Protégé Mistress and not us!”
Yixian sh, “Sisters, help ’Er…”
Lele glanced at Yi Ping unhappily, “Ping’Er, you do not have any last words to say?!”
Yi Ping sighed softly, “I have already said all I want to say e are alone”
It was true There was nothing he could do now at this point
He had of course, his own decisions but he was determined to keep it to himself In order not to !
Yunzi sighed softly as she looked keenly at Yi Ping as she thought, “I don’t believe you will not do a thing”
She had witnessed his fearless gut and how he had stand in front of adversity many times The first time hen she had met him at the Honor Manor The second time hen he dared to battle Yuan Shao alone so that she could escape and the third ti to put down Lie Qing
If her analysis was correct, he would surely rush into the Divine Calamity to take the blunt of it!
Therefore she had decided to keep a watchful look on him…
In thepulled Lele’s sleeves, “Sister, surely you know that this is the inevitable and is irrational to ask Yi Ping to do anything at thisoutcome and lets us just pray for Sister Xian’Er”
Even Suxin, Sufeng and Suyue who did not know Yixian were also e her and they were also inconsolable!
Shangguan Qingyun recited aloud, “Sorrowful partings, sorrowful farewells DestiniesWhen will Provident be kind to the empty soul?”
As he recited, he began to draw his long sith his left hand and engraved the words that he had just recited into the wall!
Yan Nanfei immediately said, “You, you…!”
Shangguan Qingyun laughed bitterly, “What’s the raphy skills and ood?”
Yan Nanfei said bitterly, “Indeed! I am really surprise!”
Shangguan Qingyun sighed, “If only all these praises would turn my solemn mood into joyous mood…”
Yan Nanfei interrupted angrily, “You really think I a you up instead!”
Everyone was startled
It was because Yan Nanfei had suddenly turned hostile and he was looking dead serious
The Sword Sage was startled, “What’s the matter with you brothers?”
Shangguan Qingyun quickly asked, “Yes, what’s the matter? You seem upset with me all of a sudden?”
Yan Nanfei smiled bitterly, “I only realize that you are a left-handed swordsht hand and I did the same You have not lost your sword skills but I have Now tell ry with you?”
Shangguan Qingyun was stary, Brother Yan…I can explain…”
In his otten to conceal the fact that he was also an ambidextrous swordsman and had accidentally let his secret slipped out…
The Elely Now it is not the ti Xian’Er”
Shangguan Qingyun said quickly, “That’s right We will only be distracting Xian’Er…”
Yan Nanfei kept quiet i heavily…
He was not really upset and was just venting He took a quick glance at Yixian as sloomy anymore
He said aloud, “Forget it This is just a sht…”
