Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 1034 - 186: The Approaching Crisis

After the direct descendants of the Bahuang Tribe undergo the baptism at the Beast God Altar, they all leave a Life Lamp there.

The Life Lamp symbolizes the birth and death of the Eight Desolate Tribe members.

As the saying goes, when a person dies, their lamp extinguishes. Just now, Chi Bi’s Life Lamp suddenly went out.

"What! How could Bi’er die? Wasn’t she always in Post-Qin?" Upon hearing the news, Chi Yuan was shocked and pale.

Chi Bi was one of his many children, and because he had many offspring, apart from his eldest son Chi Muguang, Chi Yuan did not pay much attention to the others.

However, Chi Bi had a mother who was very adept at scheming.

Her mother had a deep mind, skilled in strategies and schemes. When Chi Bi was just a child, the Beast God Altar was selecting direct bloodline heirs among the Eight Great Tribes to go undercover on the Wuji Continent.

Chi Bi’s mother volunteered and sent her then only three or four-year-old daughter to the Wuji Continent.

Chi Bi was gone for almost ten years. During these ten years, Chi Bi not only hooked up with Hei Yao’s son but also obtained much intelligence from the Wuji Continent, contributing significantly to the Ba Snake Tribe.

Just as the Eight Desolate Tribe was about to counterattack, Chi Bi suddenly died. Could it be that someone discovered her identity, or has something else changed on the Wuji Continent?

Chi Yuan hesitated.

"Father, could it be Dugu Xiu’s doing? That kid has been infatuated with a Human Clan woman for years, becoming very indifferent towards my sister. Could it be that this time, he was instigated by that Human woman to kill Chi Bi?" Chi Muguang did not have a good opinion of Dugu Xiu.

"No, Hei Yao’s son would never let personal feelings delay important matters. Someone must have discovered Chi Bi’s identity," Chi Yuan said, somewhat regretting. Chi Bi was a very useful pawn.

He had previously asked Chi Bi to monitor Dugu Xiu, to report all of Dugu Xiu and the Hei Qilin Tribe’s actions to the tribe.

Her death now equates to losing an informant.

"Father, no matter who killed Chi Bi, I must avenge my sister. For this counterattack on the Wuji Continent, please let me lead the vanguard," Chi Muguang’s grief nearly tore him apart; his teeth chattered.

Out of so many siblings, his relationship with Lady Chi Bi was the closest.

No matter who it was, he would not let them get away for killing Chi Bi!

Lady Chi Bi did not return all night, and by the next day, there was still no trace of her, along with an entire Post-Qin ship missing.

Upon hearing the news, Dugu Xiu immediately contacted the King of Penglai, requesting a search for the whereabouts of the Post-Qin Airship in the internal and external sea regions.

Before leaving, Lady Chi Bi had informed Dugu Xiu that she had received a call for help from the Left Minister and would be going to the area bordering Penglai and Post-Qin to respond to the Left Minister.

Such operations were Chi Bi’s forte; she had independently completed them many times. Dugu Xiu thought this rescue bore no risks whatsoever and thus did not pay much attention to it.

Who would have expected things to go awry this time?

After some searching, a part of the Airship wreckage was found over three thousand miles from Penglai Island, confirmed to be traces left after the Post-Qin Airship was attacked by a typhoon.

"King of Penglai, are you suggesting that our Post-Qin Airship met with an accident due to a typhoon attack?" Dugu Xiu looked at the scene, his eyes filled with towering rage.

"Emperor Dugu, judging by the situation at the scene, there were no signs of a struggle. Coincidentally, there was a storm in this region yesterday. The most likely explanation is just as it appears," the King of Penglai replied, his expression calm and unperturbed.

His words were gentle, yet his eyes carried an unmistakable authority.

The King of Penglai’s attitude spoke volumes; he did not intend to thoroughly investigate this matter.

In fact, there weren’t any clues to trace.

The incident had passed overnight, and the bodies on the Airship had already been swept away by the sea.

As for the Airship’s wreckage, only a portion could be salvaged. None of this could prove what happened last night.

Not a single soul from the Post-Qin Airship survived.

"Do you really take me for a three-year-old child? What’s a typhoon! The ship wrecked on the Penglai Sea; after the Dutian Summit, I will thoroughly investigate this matter," Dugu Xiu said with a cold face.

Dugu Xiu wasn’t particularly concerned about the death of Lady Chi Bi and the Left Minister; he didn’t hold much affection for Lady Chi Bi in the first place.

But he was certain that the Post-Qin Airship’s accident was no ordinary mishap.

A joke! His imperial Airship had been built with the involvement of the Elf Master Moyin when in Post-Qin; how could a mere natural typhoon possibly sink the Airship?

Unless... unless it encountered some terrifyingly destructive Super Magic.

Within Penglai, there were not many, but also not few people capable of using Super Magic.

As far as Dugu Xiu knew, several people with such power existed: the Red Robe Summoning Emperor, the First Main Summoner of the Summoning Court, the King of Penglai, the Xianju God Wind King, the Lan from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp... and Da Zhou Yunsheng.

Among these individuals, the Red Robe Summoning Emperor and the King of Penglai had no reason to kill Chi Bi.

As for the First Main Summoner of the Summoning Court, Dugu Xiu happened to know he wouldn’t kill Chi Bi.

Among the remaining three, although the Xianju God Wind King had unfathomable strength, he was from the Elf Tribe, a proud race that would disdain to kill someone weaker than themselves.

Among the other two, Lan from the Mainland Magic Elite Camp had a cold personality but had no interaction with Chi Bi.

As for Da Zhou Yunsheng...

Reckoning and considering, Yunsheng was the only one left.

Could it be her? If it really was her, what should he do about Yunsheng?

Lady Chi Bi’s death was truly a tricky matter; she was from the Ba Snake Tribe, and her brother Chi Muguang was the first heir to the Ba Snake Tribe Chief.

He should already know about Chi Bi’s death by now.

Dugu Xiu’s mind was racing.

Beside him, the King of Penglai was staring at the surface of the sea, at the fragmented remnants of the Post-Qin Airship.

A typhoon? In this season, there had never been a typhoon of such scale in the seas of Penglai.

The King of Penglai hadn’t told Dugu Xiu that the fragments of the Airship wreckage carried not only the remnants of the typhoon’s power but also a force much more mysterious than the typhoon itself.

If the King of Penglai was not mistaken, that power came from a certain mysterious Magic Artifact from thousands of years ago.

The Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts... were all finally coming into the world.

The King of Penglai recalled that this morning, two unexpected visitors had appeared in Penglai.

The Eldest Princess of the Donghuang Dynasty, Donghuang Lingling, and the Light Mage Gu Feng.

Both rushed and worn out, appearing to have been on the road for several days.

At this moment, they should have already headed to the Great Zhou Embassy.

What was meant to come, inevitably comes.

The blood feud between Post-Qin and the Donghuang Dynasty, the thousands of years of hatred between the Bahuang Continent and the Wuji Continent, finally needed to be resolved.

The King of Penglai gazed at the horizon, an unexplainable expression flashing in his amber eyes.

On the other side of the sea, another pair of eyes, golden ones, were also watching the tide rise and fall.

The Gold Coin stood at Penglai’s harbor.
