Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 184: chapter :185 Volume 3 Prologue

As the people of the Black Rose family began to cooperate with the Wind City guards in purging the remnants of the Divine Punishment Sect within the city, another intense battle was unfolding on a snowy field outside the City of Wind.

On one side of the battle,

The Fourth Princess Feng Ling was leading the vanguard of the Fourth Army Group of the Snowy Night Empire and her own personal guards, rushing toward the City of Wind.

Originally,

Upon learning that the City of Wind had been attacked by the Divine Punishment Sect, Feng Ling hastily led her vanguard to provide support.

However, on their way to support the city, they unexpectedly encountered a Divine Punishment Sect troop that had retreated from the Wind City.

As a result,

A large-scale conflict between the two sides was inevitable.

Although the Fourth Princess’s side had a numerical advantage, the members of the Divine Punishment Sect were mostly elite, including two seventh-rank Archbishops, making their overall combat strength fairly equal. The battle quickly became tense. Fortunately, after a fierce fight, Feng Ling’s troops eventually defeated the Divine Punishment Sect members at a terrible cost.

At this moment,

A purple bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky...

--

"Boom~"

Accompanied by the roar of thunder, dazzling lightning flashes and rampages! Under the bombardment of another wave of thunderstorms, the magic shield in front of Feng Ling was suddenly shattered, and the aftermath of the lightning struck her delicate body without mercy.

In an instant, her armor shattered, and the intense pain distorted Feng Ling’s face. She was abruptly sent flying by the impact of the lightning and fell heavily onto the snow-covered ground nearby. The staff in her hand also fell to the side.

"Cough, cough!"

After coughing up two mouthfuls of blood, staining the snow red, the Fourth Princess managed to suppress the pain in her chest with her remaining strength and barely lifted her head. She looked at the purple-haired witch who was slaughtering her guards amidst the lightning,

"Talowey, why... why are you doing this?!"

That’s right,

The seventh-rank expert who descended with the lightning was none other than the Marshal of the Snowy Night Empire and a member of her brother Xue Tianao’s harem, Talowey. Feng Ling initially thought she had come to help.

Unexpectedly, this woman suddenly attacked her and the surviving soldiers on the battlefield.

Although Feng Ling’s relationship with Talowey was not good, she never expected that the latter would dare to attack her.

A strong sense of shock filled Feng Ling’s mind,

Her light purple eyes couldn’t help but tremble,

"Stop! Stop it now!"

Amidst Feng Ling’s hoarse scream, purple magical power surged, and a huge magic circle appeared in Talowey’s hands.

And in The next moment,

The high-level magic - Marsha’s Chain Lightning was suddenly activated.

"Boom~~"

Accompanied by a roar of thunder,

Under Feng Ling’s grief-stricken gaze, her accompanying guards instantly let out miserable screams and were soon swallowed by the purple lightning, turning into one charred corpse after another, emitting white smoke as they fell lifelessly onto the snow...

"Every...everyone..."

Intense grief welled up in Feng Ling’s eyes, along with unparalleled anger,

Her bloodshot eyes locked onto Talowey, and she questioned angrily,

"Why... why would you do this?"

Upon hearing this,

After finishing off everyone else but the princess, the horned Talowey walked over to Feng Ling with a seductive posture,

"I’m sorry, Your Highness, but I did this for your brother, for the Crown Prince."

"You... you mean my brother ordered you to do this?"

"Hehe, of course not~"

Covering her mouth, Talowey laughed provocatively,

"Don’t you know the attitude Prince Tianao has towards you? How could he possibly harm you?"

"Then... it was you?"

"Yes."

Talowey admitted without hesitation and kicked Feng Ling, who was trying to grab her staff to fight back, several meters away,

Coughing up more blood,

The completely incapacitated Feng Ling could only helplessly lie on the ground. The only thing she could do was to stare at Talowey with eyes filled with anger and murderous intent. If looks could kill, Talowey would have been dismembered by Feng Ling by now.

"Then, why did you..."

"I already told you, it’s for Prince Tianao."

"What... what do you mean?"

"It’s common knowledge that the prince is interested in you. Although he doesn’t care about worldly ethics, the people of the empire can’t ignore them. Once the prince’s plan succeeds next month and he becomes the emperor, it’s highly likely that he’ll take you as one of his imperial consorts. Such a violation of moral principles would undoubtedly create many negative impressions among the people. At the same time, it could also be used by hostile forces to seriously harm the prince. I know I can’t convince the prince to give you up, so the only option is to make you, Princess, disappear."

After revealing a cruel smile, a thunderous spear gradually formed in Talowey’s hand,

"Moreover, I have to reduce my competitors as much as possible. For the revival of the demon race, I must try to get Prince Tianao to pay more attention to me. In this way, in the future, I can gain more benefits for my people from this ’Child of Destiny’."

"So, in plain words, you’re just fighting for favor..."

"Yes, you could say that. So, I’m sorry, Your Highness."

"You damned b****..."

"Really, at a time like this, you still have such a foul mouth~"

A hint of ruthlessness appeared in Talowey’s purple eyes as she teleported right in front of Feng Ling and kicked her in the chest. Feng Ling, struck by the blow, flew backward and violently overturned a nearby carriage.

Two little creatures on the carriage poked their heads out, slightly displeased...

As for Feng Ling herself?

Already seriously injured, she was further harmed by Talowey’s kick, and eventually, unable to bear the immense pain, she passed out.

"Oh my, she fainted just like that?"

Seeing this, Talowey raised an eyebrow playfully,

"Fine, I don’t have any interest in torturing people anyway. For the sake of our acquaintance, I’ll give you a quick end."

With this thought, Talowey, holding her thunder spear, slowly walked towards Feng Ling,

A chilling murderous intent emerged in her purple eyes,

"Goodbye, Your Highness."

With that, Talowey raised the thunder spear in her hand.

However,

Just as Talowey was about to pierce Feng Ling’s chest and pin all the blame on the Divine Punishment Sect, the purple-haired woman suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking ahead in confusion.

"Hmm?"

At this moment,

A cute little white wolf and a grey bird scampered in front of Feng Ling, looking at her with ’displeased’ eyes.

?!

A Snow Wolf and a Sunlight Bird? How did these rare spirit beasts appear here?

Were they the princess’s spirit pets?

"Little guys, if you don’t want to die, get out of the way."

As she spoke, Talowey even gestured with her hands, but the two little creatures showed no appreciation and continued to stand in her way.

"Hmm? It seems they really are the princess’s spirit beasts? In that case, there’s no other way..."

Sighing,

Talowey suddenly threw the thunder spear in her hand! Violent lightning raged, and the power of thunder surged wildly! It roared toward the front! Faced with such powerful lightning magic, the two weak spirit beasts and the princess they protected would surely be reduced to ashes, right?

However,

In the next moment, Talowey stood dumbfounded in place,

?!

Because,

Under her incredulous gaze, the spear filled with raging magical power was suddenly bitten by the little white wolf just as it was about to hit Feng Ling?! And it was shattered into countless magical particles, dispersing in the snowy wind...

Talowey froze on the spot, her mind suddenly filled with countless question marks,

"This... what... what kind of joke is this?!"

Why was her attack, containing the power of a seventh-rank expert, so easily crushed by a spirit pet?

But before Talowey could figure out what was happening,

an irresistible aura, suddenly entered her perception, causing the previously composed imperial marshal to reveal an unparalleled look of horror, and even involuntarily retreat,

At this moment,

Reflected in Talowey’s eyes,

?!

"huh!? what’s going on? Their powers are suddenly increasing!"

The two adorable spirit beasts suddenly exploded with an earth-shattering power, their bodies expanding rapidly, transforming into two mountain-like terrifying existences standing proudly before Talowey.

"What?! Demon, demon, Demon King?!"

"Boom!!"

After a loud noise, the snowy plain returned to tranquility.

...

...

...

After an unknown amount of time, as her strength gradually recovered, the long-unconscious Feng Ling slowly woke up from her stupor, her consciousness beginning to control her body once more.

Opening her eyes, she looked at the battlefield now covered in snow. Enduring the pain in her chest, she forced herself to sit up from the ground and rubbed her blurry eyes. Afterward, Feng Ling looked down at her body in utter confusion.

"Huh?"

"I...I’m not dead?"

"Did that woman, Talowey, not kill me?"

"What’s going on?"

Countless questions arose in Feng Ling’s mind. Then, the Fourth Princess began to look around, trying to find Talowey’s figure nearby. After all, who knew if that nasty woman intended to continue playing with her before her death?

However,

After a while of observation, Feng Ling found nothing.

The snow-covered plain was deadly silent, with no trace of Talowey.

But,

While she didn’t see any sign of Talowey, Feng Ling did notice the two small spirit beasts lying in front of her, seemingly waiting for her to wake up.

"You two little guys are still here?"

Feng Ling couldn’t help but exclaim.

Initially following her just because she fed them, the two little creatures were still there after the two battles they had just experienced. How come they hadn’t been scared away despite their small size?

At that moment, Feng Ling felt a touch of warmth amidst the snow.

However,

"It seems that Talowey really left no trace. What does that woman want?"

Feng Ling was utterly puzzled.

But recalling the previous conversation, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Speaking of which, that woman seemed to have said that her royal brother would become emperor next month. Could it be that he planned to make a move against father?! No, this won’t do!

I must,

"I must hurry back!"

Thinking of this, Feng Ling slowly got up from the ground, dragging her exhausted body, and looked toward the direction of the capital with mixed feelings.

Then,

Having made up her mind, Feng Ling crouched down again and patted the little white wolf’s head.

"By the way, you two little guys, why don’t you come back with me? Winter night is approaching, and you cute little ones won’t survive out here in the snowy plains..."

Faced with Feng Ling’s proposal,

The two little creatures seemed to reach a consensus after exchanging glances, nodding their heads very innocently, making Feng Ling smile.

But just as she was about to pick up the little white wolf and little gray bird and find the Fourth Army Corps,

The little white wolf suddenly let out a meaningful belch.

"Huh?"

"What did you eat, you little wolf?"
