Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 199 - 200: Attempt to Stop

--

Something seemed off about herself,

Mengxi couldn’t help but notice this issue.

Even though she knew that Yumo wouldn’t be harmed by these weapons, she couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable anger when she saw the so-called royal knights place their blades against Yumo’s neck...

However,

At the moment, Mengxi had no time to consider why she would feel this way.

Because after the squad leader showed a disdainful and contemptuous expression, Mengxi suddenly turned into a silver light, instantly appearing in mid-air.

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion and the flickering of silver light,

Under the unprepared gaze of the royal knights, the squad leader’s helmet was suddenly knocked off, and his face was distorted and dented by Mengxi’s kick, becoming quite comical. With Mengxi’s force, the squad leader was sent flying and fell embarrassingly into a nearby pit.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After coughing up some blood and a few teeth, the squad leader managed to get up from the ground with difficulty.

’Wow!’

Seeing this scene, Yumo couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.

Though, in Yumo’s view, Mengxi attacking the royal knights was not a wise move,

’She’s a bit impulsive...’

But,

The Sixth Rank High Level squad leader was defeated so easily? Especially when Mengxi hadn’t fully recovered...

Even though Mengxi’s strength was still at the Sixth Rank Middle Level, there was no doubt that she had become stronger after their previous battle~

Seeing the heroine gradually growing,

A feeling of relief appeared in Yumo’s deep blue eyes.

And,

A feeling of accomplishment~

On the other hand,

Seeing their squad leader being attacked, the royal knights quickly drew their weapons and surrounded Mengxi. Their coordinated magic was ready, prepared to launch an attack on Mengxi at any moment. However, just as the knights were about to act, the squad leader who had been sent flying by Mengxi timely stopped his subordinates,

"Don’t be reckless!"

"..."

Hearing the command, the knights temporarily halted their attack plans and watched the beautiful silver-haired girl warily.

"You, you must be Miss Mengxi, right?"

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, and recalling the instructions from the commander, Squad Leader Abike wiped the blood off his face and spoke respectfully,

"Mengxi? The Chosen One?"

Hearing the squad leader’s words, several knights who were late to realize exclaimed in surprise, looking at the girl in front of them with astonishment,

"Squad Leader? Is this the person His Majesty told us not to harm?"

"Yes, who else could such a beautiful silver-haired girl be?"

Abike smiled faintly,

Though his nose was broken by the punch, causing him great displeasure, he still held back his anger when he thought of the commander and His Majesty’s orders,

Fulfilling His Majesty’s will was his duty.

Suppressing his inner displeasure, Abike slowly bowed to Mengxi. After all, the person before him might be the future queen, so it was best to be polite.

"Miss Mengxi, I apologize for our rudeness earlier. However, I must ask you not to interfere, as this is an internal matter of our country."

"Internal matter?"

"Yes, the Marquis family has violated the fifth rule of the Empire’s Iron Law and colluded with the Abyssal Demons. Therefore, His Majesty Xue has ordered that the entire Marquis family be brought back to the imperial capital, for trial. This little girl is the daughter of the Marquis family, so she must also return with us."

"Xue ? That guy became the emperor?"

"Yes, the crown prince has now become the emperor of the empire."

"And this order is from him too?"

"Yes, so please don’t interfere, Miss Chosen One."

"Heh, that’s laughable."

Upon hearing these words, Mengxi couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh, and her light purple eyes gradually overflowed with a chilling aura:

"The Marquis family has been wholeheartedly protecting the northern border for so many years, and you say they colluded with the Abyssal Demons? Isn’t that too ridiculous? Or is it that Xue wants to frame them?"

"Miss Mengxi, please do not insult His Majesty! His Majesty has always been just and would never frame meritorious officials! The Marquis family must have some unspeakable secret!"

After listening to Mengxi’s words, the squad leader and the knights behind him showed angry expressions.

"Heh, I doubt it..."

"Say what you want, but Miss Mengxi, please don’t prevent us from taking this young lady away. This is our country’s internal affair. We have an agreement with the Asumos Church, and as a backup Saintess, you have no right to interfere."

With that,

The squad leader couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile.

Another royal knight nearby couldn’t help but tease:

"Of course, Miss Mengxi, if you’re willing to become the Empress, then you can interfere."

"You guys..."

Upon hearing this, Mengxi became increasingly annoyed. The silver-white pure holy energy within her body began to surge and gradually gathered in her fists.

If Yumo were really taken to the imperial capital for trial, she would inevitably meet that womanizer Xue.

For some reason,

Mengxi didn’t want Yumo to meet that guy.

Xue was so greedy,

If he saw Yumo’s true form, no! Even just the adorable little Yumo right now, he might set his sights on her!

If Yumo’s ultimate goal was to destroy the Demons Temple, helping Xue , the Chosen One, to increase his power might achieve her final goal. Moreover, although Xue was disgusting, he did have good looks.

Considering his ability to win over girls’ hearts, what if my Yumo were seduced by him?

More importantly,

Now that Xue was stronger than Mengxi, would Yumo choose to stay by his side and accompany him in his growth to accomplish her goal?

Thinking of this, Mengxi felt not only annoyed but also anxious.

Just imagining Yumo in Xue ’s embrace made Mengxi’s heart burn with anger...

Her fists clenched tightly, her nails even digging into her flesh,

Blood dripped from her hands, drop by drop.

"Really, seeking death..."

In order to prevent such a frustrating future, Mengxi’s eyes burst with a strong silver-white light, and the girl’s momentum began to rise steadily. Although she was only at the middle stage of the sixth rank, it gave the knights present an indescribable sense of oppression. The knights who had just teased Mengxi couldn’t help but reveal a trace of fear, and they quickly assumed a defensive posture.

The squad leader’s face changed abruptly, and he shouted anxiously,

"Miss Mengxi, this is a breach of contract!"

"I don’t care about any agreement. You can’t take her away!"

As the silver light surged, a silver energy sword condensed in Mengxi’s palm.

However,

Just as Mengxi was about to take action and ’save’ Yumo by dealing with these royal knights,

A sudden white meteor, carrying a terrifying momentum, descended from the sky and landed right next to Mengxi. An arm burst out from the light, directly grabbing Mengxi’s arm, and the remaining energy shattered the energy sword in her hand into specks of silver light.

At the same time, a familiar voice entered Mengxi’s ears,

"Calm down, Mengxi. Turning against them directly isn’t appropriate."

"?"

"Hm?"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Mengxi hurriedly looked behind her.

At this moment,

As the white light dissipated, a cool white-haired girl wearing a black and red Sunlight Warrior skirt suddenly appeared in Mengxi’s sight. Upon meeting the girl’s blue eyes, Mengxi bit her lip in surprise,

"Bai... Sister Bai? How did you get here?"

That’s right, the girl who appeared suddenly, with a powerful aura, was none other than one of the three Heavenly Apostles of the Asumos Church, Bai Yanluo.

Carefully pulling Mengxi behind her, Bai Yanluo’s words entered Mengxi’s ears,

"I’ll explain later, just don’t be impulsive now."

After softly urging Mengxi to calm down, Bai Yanluo slowly approached the royal knights who were on edge. Faced with Bai Yanluo’s appearance and feeling her terrifying holy aura, these royal knights couldn’t help but tremble, watching the woman in front of them uneasily and warily,

"We will abide by the agreement and not interfere in your internal affairs. But please leave quickly and do not disturb the rest of our Saintess."

"?"

Hearing this, everyone, including Abike, couldn’t help but reveal a look of delight. After all, none of them would want to clash with a Heavenly Apostle. With their strength, facing such a powerful person would mean certain death.

"Thank you for your understanding, lady Bai Yanluo! We will withdraw immediately!"

Seeing that the other party was no longer persistent, these royal knights hurriedly took Yumo and headed for their captain’s location.

As they watched the royal knights leave,

Bai Yanluo couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

Then, Bai Yanluo turned helplessly to look at the cold-faced silver-haired girl not far away,

"Mengxi, our church has finally reached an agreement with Xue Tianao . Do you want to break the contract just for a little kid?"

In response,

Mengxi turned her head away, visibly displeased,

"She’s not just some little kid..."
