Chapter 254: Xuan Wei

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The guard who was lucky enough to escape the demons returned to the Dark Moon Temple and reported the news of Duan Heng’s death to the high priest.

This matter involved the demons. After thinking about it, the high priest directly reported this matter to the main city’s temple.

The prophet of the main city’s temple took this matter very seriously. He personally transferred one of the 12 divine guards and ordered him to lead the army straight to the rock mountain. He had to completely destroy those demons!

Xuan Wei was different from the envoys they had met before.

He was powerful, but he was not arrogant. His style was straightforward.

Xuan Wei said, “I’m going to the scene where Duan Heng was killed, but I’m not familiar with this place. Could you get someone to lead the way?”

Shuang Yun immediately called Feng Lan over and asked him to help lead the way.

Feng Lan was a soul beast, but he was only a one-starred soul beast. His strength was nothing in Xuan Wei’s eyes.

He only glanced at Feng Lan before looking away.

It was not until the next day that Xuan Wei returned to the rock mountain with his team.

After investigating the scene, it was confirmed that the demons were behind it, and there were many of them.

Xuan Wei wanted to destroy all the demons. Unfortunately, the heavens did not favor them. It rained heavily that afternoon, and there was lightning and thunder.

Such bad weather was very disadvantageous to tracking down the demons.

Xuan Wei could only stay in the rock mountain for the time being.

As usual, Shuang Yun arranged for him to stay in the embassy. As for the other guards, they definitely could not stay in the divine embassy.

Previously, a group of people had been cleared out of the temporary residence, leaving many rooms empty. Shuang Yun let these guards stay in them.

In addition to Xuan Wei, there was also Xue Hui in the divine embassy.

When Xue Hui, who liked to flirt, saw Xuan Wei, her expression changed slightly. For the first time, she did not go up to a person to flirt. Instead, she tactfully walked away.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Wei took the initiative to stop her.

“When I passed through Divine Wood City, the high priest of the Divine Wood Temple asked me to bring you a message.”

Xue Hui had to stop. “What is it?”

“He wants you to go back as soon as possible.”

After saying this, Xuan Wei felt that he had completed the task entrusted to him by the high priest. He walked past her without looking sideways.

Xue Hui calculated that more than two months had passed since she left the Divine Wood Temple.

She looked out the window at the pouring rain. ‘I’ll go home when this stops.’

It rained for three days and three nights.

During these three days, Xuan Wei stayed in the divine embassy and did not step out of the door.

The beasts in charge of monitoring the divine embassy told Shuang Yun about this.

Shuang Yun said to Bai Di, “Xuan Wei is very tactful. He’s obedient and doesn’t cause us trouble.”

Bai Di said, “This person is not simple. Be careful when you deal with him.”

“I know what I’m doing.”

Xue Ling said to Sang Ye, “It’s best if you don’t go out for the time being. Don’t let Xuan Wei see you. He’s much stronger than Huai Shan and Miu Wei. He’s very difficult to deal with.”

Sang Ye agreed. “Okay.”

Huanhuan had not gone out for the past few days and had not seen Xuan Wei. She only knew that he was a very powerful guy.

She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “If Xuan Wei fights with Xue Ling, who will win?”

Bai Di said, “If it’s an official spar, Xuan Wei will win.”

When Xue Ling, who had always thought that he was invincible, heard this, he did not retort and only snorted.

Huanhuan was very surprised. “Xuan Wei is that powerful?!”

“The 12 divine guards represent the top strength in the City of 10,000 Beasts. As one of the 12 divine guards, Xuan Wei is naturally very powerful.”

So he was a high-level expert! Huanhuan clicked her tongue. “He’s so powerful. He must be at the nine-star level, right?”

“The soul beasts of the 12 divine guards are all above nine stars. There are even rumors that some of them have already broken through the limit and reached the 10-star level.”

Huanhuan couldn’t help but sigh. “10 stars. Just hearing it makes me feel that they’re awesome.”

Xue Ling said leisurely, “It’s just a rumor. They can’t have risen to 10 stars.”

Huanhuan was puzzled. “Why not?”

“More than 10 stars means entering the demigod realm. Gods aren’t allowed to exist on the beast continent, even if they’re demigods.”

Huanhuan seemed to understand. “In other words, nine stars is already the limit for beasts. You can’t go any higher, right?”

Xue Ling said, “As things stand, yes.”

Bai Di and Sang Ye glanced at him, their gazes unreadable.

Shuang Yun was a straightforward person. He directly asked the question in his heart, “How do you know that it can’t exceed nine stars? Has your strength already reached nine stars?”

Xue Ling’s lips curled. “Guess.”

Shuang Yun scoffed. “You’re acting mysterious. I can’t be bothered to guess.”

Three days later, the rain finally stopped.

Xuan Wei led his team and began to carefully search the forest for traces of demons.

At this moment, Xue Hui came to say goodbye to Huanhuan.

“I’m going home.”

Huanhuan got Sang Ye to take out two large bags of fruits. She said, “Take these and eat them on the way. If they’re not enough, I’ll get Sang Ye to get more for you.”

Xue Hui didn’t look at the fruits. She held Huanhuan’s hand and asked again, “Will you come back to Divine Wood City with me?”

Huanhuan looked apologetic. “Sorry, I’m pregnant now. I can’t go too far.”

“I have healing spells. Even if you travel with a big belly, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

Huanhuan shook her head. “I know you’re good at healing, but I still want to stay in the rock mountain and give birth. After all, this is my home. I feel safer here.”

Xue Hui frowned and said, “You’re from the Divine Wood clan. The Divine Wood City is your true home.”

“In your opinion, it’s bloodline that decides where home is. In my opinion, it’s family that decides where home is. My family is on the rock mountain, so my home is here. I’ll never be separated from them.”

“You can bring them with you to settle in Divine Wood City.”

“Shuang Yun is the leader of the Rock Wolf Tribe. He can’t leave the entire tribe behind.”

Xue Hui stopped talking.

She could get Huanhuan to bring her family to the Divine Wood City, but not the entire Rock Wolf Tribe.

Huanhuan smiled sweetly. “Don’t worry. After I give birth, I’ll go to Divine Wood City to play with you.”

She was adamant. No amount of persuasion could change her mind.

Helpless, Xue Hui could only give up on the idea of taking Huanhuan with her.

Before leaving, Xue Hui reminded her repeatedly, “Remember to come to Divine Wood City to look for me.”

Huanhuan agreed. “Okay.”

“When you reach Divine Wood City, come to the temple and find me with the green crystal I gave you.”

“I understand.”

Xue Hui emphasized again, “I’m leaving. Don’t forget what you promised me. You have to come to Divine Wood City!”

“Okay, I’ll remember. I’ll definitely be there.”

Xue Hui spread her wings and flew into the sky. She circled above Huanhuan before flying away.
