Chapter 229 You Came to Save Me as Promised

The wooden platform collapsed, and Ji Yanzhi fell into the sea of ​​fire along with the logs, but was caught by a pair of hands halfway down.

Ji Yanzhi looked up and saw a black mask. However, through the eyes revealed by the mask, Ji Yanzhi clearly knew who the person was: "Ling Yi".

"It's me," Ling Yi replied. "I'm back."

Ji Yanzhi smiled.

Ling Yi glanced at the injury on Ji Yanzhi's leg, and his grip on Ji Yanzhi tightened involuntarily. As the bone knife flew back, he kicked it away, aiming directly at Granny Li.

Seeing the bone knife flying towards her, Granny Li's expression changed. She raised her hand and unleashed a burst of power, attempting to block the bone knife, but...

"boom"

The bone knife collided with that power, breaking through the barrier and appearing in front of Granny Li. The next moment, the bone knife pierced straight for her throat, and the powerful force sent Granny Li flying. When she landed, she was pinned to the ground.

Ling Yi appeared beside the bone knife with Ji Yanzhi, stepped on Granny Li's heart, and crushed it.

Granny Li vanished into a cloud of black mist at Ling Yi's feet.

Ling Yi put Ji Yanzhi down and erected a barrier: "Wait for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yi grabbed the bone knife and headed towards the villagers.

As the blade flashed, villagers fell to the ground, crying for help, screaming, and begging for mercy. But Ling Yi did not stop until he had killed all the villagers of Sea God Village and the demons hiding in the shadows. Only then did Ling Yi return to Ji Yanzhi's side.

Sheathed the bone knife, removed the barrier, bent down, picked up the person, and headed towards the Sea God's Stele.

Upon arriving at the Sea God Monument, the scene repeated itself, with the glowing wall reappearing, and Ling Yi carrying Ji Yanzhi inside.

Before this, Ling Yi carried Jin Zhou through the light wall, but reappeared in the rainy night and saw Ji Yanzhi being placed on the high platform.

But this time, after passing through the wall of light, the two saw the palaces again, which looked like they had stepped out of a realm and returned to the palace square, but that was not actually the case.

They appeared in the palace square before, where merfolk were present, but there are no merfolk in the square now.

Just then, Ling Yi heard Ji Yanzhi in his arms say, "You've come to save me as promised."

Ling Yi wanted to respond, but that uncontrollable feeling came over her again, and Ling Yi knew that she was now talking to Jin Zhou and that unknown person.

Ling Yi remained silent, while Ji Yanzhi said, "I knew the Destiny Stone wasn't given to the wrong person."

Ling Yi remained silent, but Ji Yanzhi ignored her silence and continued, "Father once said that there would be a calamity in the Longevity Sea, and whether we can overcome it depends on me."

“If there is a calamity in the Longevity Sea, it must be because of me. I know the source of the calamity.” Ji Yanzhi said slowly, “Back then, you didn’t speak. In order to get you to talk, I showed you the Destiny Stone. At that time, I just wanted to tease you. I never expected that you would be unable to take your eyes off the Destiny Stone. I knew then that you liked it.”

“The Destiny Stone is very important to me, but at that time I wondered, if the Destiny Stone would bring calamity, could I protect it?”

"The answer is no, because I have not yet become a god. After careful consideration, I have decided to give you the Destiny Stone, but on the condition that you come to save me when I am in danger."

"You didn't show up when that woman grabbed me, and I thought you weren't coming."

At this point, Ling Yi, who had been silent all along, finally spoke: "I promised you, I would come back."

Upon receiving a response, Jin Zhou's tears immediately burst forth: "Why didn't you come back sooner?"

"Everyone, everyone is dead..."

Ling Yi did not answer. He carried Jin Zhou through the palaces and stopped at the last palace. He put Jin Zhou down, then took out the Destiny Stone and placed it in Jin Zhou's hand.

Jin Zhou looked at the Destiny Stone in his hand and noticed a black spot inside. He asked in confusion, "What is that black spot?"

Ling Yi spoke: "Soul Lock."

Upon hearing this, Jin Zhou looked up at Ling Yi and asked, "What does 'soul lock' mean?"

Ling Yi didn't answer, but simply said, "You should go back."

Jin Zhou looked at Ling Yi: "You haven't told me your name yet, nor have you let me see your face."

Ling Yi didn't move; she didn't intend to reveal her name or her appearance.

Jin Zhou held the Destiny Stone, gave her a deep look, and finally said nothing more before returning to the Destiny Stone.

Jin Zhou lay in the Destiny Stone, watching Ling Yi until the power of the Destiny Stone surged in, pulling his consciousness into a deep sleep.

Jin Zhou kept opening and closing his eyes, resisting the power of the Destiny Stone.

Ling Yi looked at her, then raised his hand and removed the mask from his face.

Seeing Ling Yi remove her mask, Jin Zhou's eyes widened suddenly, trying to remember the face. But he only had time to glance at it before the mask fell, obscuring his view.

Ling Yi placed the mask on the Destiny Stone: "Go to sleep."

Jin Zhou no longer resisted the power of the Destiny Stone and fell into a deep sleep.

Just as Jin Zhou fell into a deep sleep, a white light appeared and enveloped Ling Yi. When the white light dissipated, Ling Yi saw the red bubble wall.

Looking through the bubble wall, I saw a familiar palace, waves, and mermaids.

They returned to Palace Square.

After confirming, Ling Yi turned her head to look at Ji Yanzhi: "Are you alright?"

In the first realm, Ling Yi didn't suffer much, but Ji Yanzhi suffered a lot as Jin Zhou. Those pains were real, and even if he left, they would still have an impact.

Ji Yanzhi's face was pale, but much better than when he was in the first level: "I'm fine."

Ling Yi didn't say anything, picked up Ji Yanzhi and stood up, looking up at the merman standing on the waves: "We're out."

The merman looked at the two and said, "Congratulations on successfully passing the first level and gaining the right to enter the palace behind me. You can choose any item in the palace as a reward."

After the merman finished speaking, he waved his arm, and a portion of the sea wave beneath his tail parted to form a water bridge connecting the palace: "You two, you may cross now."

After the merman finished speaking, the bubble enveloping the two of them burst, and Ling Yi, carrying Ji Yanzhi, stepped onto the water bridge and headed towards the palace.

Upon entering the palace, Ling Yi looked up and saw countless floating bubbles, each containing something—some books, some weapons, some clothes, all sorts of things, in many styles, dazzling the eye.

"Ling Yi, put me down." Ji Yanzhi took out a wheelchair and said, "There are many things here, go and see what you want to choose?"

“Okay.” Ling Yi responded, placed Ji Yanzhi in the wheelchair, and then walked towards the bubbles.

The merman's voice came from outside: "You can learn about the things inside by touching the bubbles, such as their grade and attributes. Once you've determined what you want, just pour your power into it to obtain it."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi touched a bubble. Inside the bubble was a light gauze dress. After Ling Yi touched it, the dress's grade and attributes appeared inside the bubble.
