Dark Blood Age

Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Bombard The Castle Of Raging Fire.

“Edgar, it is a pleasure to have you beside me since the Jin Ling city disappeared. You are…” Chu Yunsheng suddenly laughed, “you graduated from a top university and I was just an ordinary guy in the age of light. If it weren’t for all of this, we probably wouldn’t have met each other!”

“No, Mr. Lennon, even without all of this, we will still be able to meet each other at some place sometime. It is fate!” Edgar had visible sadness on his face. He realised that this was probably going to be the last time he would be able to see Chu Yunsheng. He had never seen Chu Yunsheng so pessimistic before.

“Maybe… Anyway, it is nice to have you as a friend, it is my honour…” Chu Yunsheng’s voice slowly quieted down. What he said was true. Since Jin Ling city disappeared, Edgar was the only one who could make him feel safe.

“Mr. Lennon, we can make it. Just like what we did outside Jin Ling city. I can still guard the back for you!” Edgar clenched his fists and said.

“Edgar, it is different now…” before Chu Yunsheng finished, he was suddenly interrupted by a deep and plaintive song.

His body suddenly shook a little. The song seemed to go straight into his mind and touched his soul. It was filled with ethereal sadness and loneliness…

Chu Yunsheng stood up unconsciously, walked towards the door, opened the door and looked outside.

Outside the palace, many rocks were still falling from the sky as if it was the end of the world.

Inside the hall, ten cold bodies were laid in a line on the ground, a few student skywalkers were looking silently at them on the side of the hall.

Jiang Qianqin’s hair was no longer tied in the bun. It was scattered all around her face. She was standing desolately on the other side of the hall alone with an oval-shaped instrument in her hand. The song Chu Yunsheng heard came from that instrument she was playing.

There were visible white ribbons made of ice energy moving ups and downs around her while she was playing the music. It was a beautiful scene but filled with sadness….

“Burn it….” Gentleman Zhuo had already stopped his casual attitude. His face was covered with dirt but the sadness was still visible.

There were two fire elemental skywalkers standing at the end of the line, one on each side. They cast out their energy to cremate the bodies of 10 students while their faces were filled with tears…

“That’s Xun. She was playing ‘Lament for Ying’.” Tan Ning said softly behind Chu Yunsheng.

Looking at the burning fire, Chu Yunsheng did not say anything. He did not understand Xun nor did he understand the song. But he knew the deep and sad feeling that was currently tearing his soul…

He went back to the room and closed the door. Yuan Qiyang was still unconscious on the bed.

Suddenly, he remembered the old man in a loose silk robe who he saw in the black monolith. He remembered his look and his sigh. Was it the helplessness or was it the disappointment?

Chu Yunsheng held Yuan Qiyang and passed him to Edgar, “Take him away, and try to stay alive and live well! ”

…

Cao Zhengyi was the third person who was called into the room.

“Old Cao, I don’t have much time left, so I will make it short. Try to learn the method I gave you, and be a good man. After this war, don’t mess with Luo Hengshen. He is smarter than you. That Miss Jiang is a good person. I have already told Edgar. So you can try to join them…”

“Grandpa…” Cao Zhengyi sobbed.

“Stop! I am younger than you… Don’t call me that….” Chu Yunsheng immediately interrupted.

…

The last one who came in was Luo Hengshen. Chu Yunsheng never understood what this man was thinking, but he was the most competent man in the castle of Raging Fire, so he had to use him.

“Old Luo, I don’t know what to say to you, take those two bottles of fluid with you, remember, only use them for recovery, don’t use it to speed up your cultivation speed,” Chu Yunsheng gave him two bottles of culture fluid and said.

“Why don’t you surrender?” Luo Hengshen did not touch the fluid. Instead, he asked a key question.

Chu Yunsheng stared at him for a few seconds and said, “I can’t tell you a lot, otherwise, you will end up like me. If there is just Divine Realm or the Ice Race or only one of any other alien races in this world, then I might be able to live like their pet after I surrendered. But you know that is not possible, there are Ice Race, Fire Race, Divine Realm, and there may be even more other alien races in this world, so if I surrender myself to the divine realm, then I will not have any chances to even live like a pet.”

“I know you have something they want!” Luo Hengshen suddenly said.

“If you know, then why are you still asking me?” Chu Yunsheng said.

“I know, but I still need to confirm it. If what you said is true, then I think you are right. There is no place for you to stay, whoever gets the stuff they want, they will make sure that you will no longer exist in this world, in case the information about the stuff they want is leaked out by you. So no one will want to keep you alive,” it did not take him long to think why Chu Yunsheng would make this decision.

Chu Yunsheng laughed bitterly, but he did not carry on with the same subject, “the war is coming. You are smart and also familiar with this place. Take those people with you, leave as far as you can. Once I start to use force, I don’t have time to distinguish between allies and enemies.”

Luo Hengshen took the culture fluid and said, “you think I want to die? I still want to see how they are going to break their agreement!”

…

Chu Yunsheng was standing in the middle of the palace square. Looking at Cao Zhengyi and other people “surrendered” themselves and got on the floating rocks, he finally became a loner.

Originally, he thought that the divine realm and the Ice Race would still try to persuade him, but he did not expect that after the last batch of people left the castle, they started to bombard the castle.

Chu Yunsheng knew that the divine realm had lost its patience. They wanted to use force now…

The divine realm’s giant cannons were much more powerful than the ordinary weapons made by human beings.

The energy they used, Chu Yunsheng had also never seen it before. Every time before the cannons were fired, the long dark cannons would be covered with visible electric arcs. Chu Yunsheng did not even know if they were firing physical metal shells or pure energy balls. All he could see were the bright blue light those cannons shot out. Then a second later, the explosions started to appear non-stop in the castle.

Chuy Yunsheng knew that the divine realm wanted to kill him and Tan Ning both, so they could complete the return process.

The explosions had already destroyed most of the buildings in the castle, but it seemed like the palace was still able to withstand the bombardment.

…

“Are you scared?” Chu Yunsheng asked. He was currently sitting in the hall of the palace that was constantly shaking under the bombardment with Tan Ning.

“No!” Tan Ning replied as if she had already prepared the answer. But when she looked at Chu Yunsheng’s serious eyes. She hesitated, “Yes… but I know that scare will not change anything. Brother Chu, you are a good man, I don’t want to be your burden. Please just leave me here, you can break out here yourself…”

Chu Yunsheng interrupted her and said, “Even if you are dead, they can still use your body to complete the return process! And even after you die, they will still be chasing after me. So, I can’t leave and I don’t want to leave.”

“Okay! If we can’t live together, then we die together,” Tan Ning nodded her head and said resolutely.

“I will not let them take my life away easily. At least, I will make them understand that I am not their puppet.”
