Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 894 - 12: A Life-Risking Move

Zhan Tian was severely injured, and the Demon Clan was cunning, not only launching a sneak attack but also smearing deadly poison on their weapons.

Mud-like blood spurted from Zhan Tian’s chest. When using his domain, it was also the time when Zhan Tian’s defensive power was at its lowest.

His battle armor was completely shattered, and his body plummeted swiftly like a meteor.

At this moment, an elusive wind cave appeared below Zhan Tian. Severely wounded, Zhan Tian had no power to resist and was sucked into the wind cave.

His contracted Sub-Asian Dragon Nuo Yan let out a wail of sorrow, flapping its massive wings and crashing through several obstructing stones, following closely behind Zhan Tian, and they both fell into the wind cave.

With Zhan Tian and the Hurricane Storm Dragon Nuo Yan disappearing, the Dragon King Domain that had been covering the Imperial Airship wavered, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Dozens of Sub-Asian Dragons began to panic, flying at various altitudes. No matter how much the Dragon Knights atop them tried to calm them, they could not be pacified. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Without Zhan Tian, it was like a dragon group without a Dragon King; the power of the Imperial Dragon Rider Team greatly diminished, forcing them to retreat quickly, as the Demon Sky Beast pressed closer, driving the Imperial Airship into a corner.

On the airship, watching as her beloved Zhan Tian was severely injured and disappeared into the wind cave, Princess Long Xue was speechless with grief, tears pouring down like a torrential rain, unstoppable. She struggled several times to rush out of the airship, but was held back firmly by her ladies-in-waiting.

Princess Long Xue silently screamed in her heart, "Zhan Tian, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have insisted on coming to the Four Symbols City, I brought this upon you."

She wanted to see him one last time, even if it was just his body; she hoped to take one more look at him.

"Princess, Your Highness, please remain calm."

"Shut up, no one try to persuade me anymore. I’m not a princess, I’m Xue Lingshang. I’ve had enough, I don’t want to be a princess," Princess Long Xue raged, shaking off her lady-in-waiting. Her reason had been devoured by anger, and she could no longer listen to any advice.

"Princess Long Xue, stop deceiving yourself. Born and raised here, you are the favored daughter of heaven. Behind you is the gravely ill Long Teng the 72nd, and the countless citizens of the Dragon War Empire. The Demon Army invades, and the Canglong Continent is on the brink of devastation. You are the future Empress, the future Long Teng the 73rd. Xue Lingshang is already dead; she fell into the wind cave with Zhan Tian. She died, and you live. Only if you survive does the Dragon War Empire have hope," a voice cold as ice mercilessly broke into Princess Long Xue’s ear.

On the Imperial Airship, no one dared to speak to Princess Long Xue in such a manner.

This voice came from the Sound Transmission Array on the airship.

The Sound Transmission Array indicated that this unfamiliar voice was coming from a nearby Demon Sky Beast.

"Yue Jinghua, it’s you," Princess Long Xue recognized the voice.

"Yes, it’s me, Your Highness. I come as a citizen of the Dragon War Empire, to rescue you. Please do not let our efforts be in vain. Regarding Jian Rider, I am sorry. Fate is cruel; if it cannot be changed, try to fall in love with its cruelty," Yue Jinghua paused for a moment. Zhan Tian’s death was an irreplaceable loss for both the Empire and the Dragon Rider Team.

Princess Long Xue stood frozen, her tears already dried in her eyes.

There are those whose fate is determined from the moment of birth. She had struggled, but ultimately failed.

"What should I do?" Princess Long Xue murmured. She knew that at this moment, she should muster the courage to uplift the entire army and withstand the upcoming attack from the Demon Army.

Princess Long Xue’s reason gradually returned.

She understood that in such a situation, the first thing she should do was stabilize the morale of the Dragon Rider Team and the Sub-Asian Dragons. Only by doing so would they have a chance to escape.

But she was just an ordinary person. Without Zhan Tian, how could she stabilize a group of restless Sub-Asian Dragons?

"I’m going to find a way to infiltrate the encirclement. Jian Rider should have mentioned to you that he once taught me the Dragon King Domain. Please convey my intention to the other Dragon Knights quickly. Ask them to stabilize their respective Sub-Asian Dragons for about fifteen minutes. I will find a way to replace Jian Rider and revive the Dragon King Domain," Yue Jinghua’s confident words immediately restored Princess Long Xue’s confidence.

She wiped away her tears and stood tall, communicating swiftly with the dozens of Dragon Knights of the Dragon Rider Team like a true queen.

"Your Highness, are you sure Duke July Rose can break into the encirclement?" The Dragon Knights were still skeptical about Yue Jinghua’s ability to use the Dragon King Domain, but what they doubted most was how Yue Jinghua could infiltrate the core domain of the Dragon Rider Team under layers of the Demon Clan’s encirclement.

This was undoubtedly ten times, a hundred times more difficult than reviving the Dragon King Domain.

"We must believe in her, believe the True God stands with us," Princess Long Xue’s determination was contagious, quickly infecting the dozens of Dragon Knights.

They exerted all their strength, temporarily controlling the Sub-Asian Dragons and rebuilding a fragile defense line.

They were anxious, unsure if a miracle would happen in fifteen minutes.

After disconnecting from Princess Long Xue, Yue Jinghua immediately sought out Qian Luo.

"What? Master, that’s too dangerous," Qian Luo, upon hearing about the bold action Yue Jinghua was about to undertake, rejected Yue Jinghua’s proposal without hesitation.

"Qian Luo, only by doing this can I enter the encirclement without the Demon Clan noticing. You’ve already seen the situation ahead. I think disguising as a ’wind cave’ is the only method right now," Yue Jinghua tried to persuade Qian Luo.

Yue Jinghua had already observed the distribution of the Demon Army around. The defense of the Demon Army was like a metal bucket; breaking through from the inside and from the outside was almost equally difficult.

Yue Jinghua also noted that the only unnoticed element by the Demon Army were the whirlpool-like wind caves. If she wanted to enter the encirclement and rescue Princess Long Xue without alerting the Demon Clan, this was her sole option.

These wind caves were special arrays set by the Demon Clan within the Chaotic Stone Hurricane Zone, elusive and incredibly destructive. Even the Demon Army and Demon Sky Beasts would avoid them.

This characteristic of the wind caves allowed Yue Jinghua to find a flaw in the Demon Army’s defense.

Qian Luo had mentioned she couldn’t directly nullify the wind caves, but she could draw a similar wind formation that looked almost identical to those set by the Demon Clan.

Yue Jinghua intended to use this wind cave to infiltrate the defense circle of the Demon Army and seize the opportunity to rescue Princess Long Xue and others.

Qian Luo hesitated but eventually couldn’t resist Yue Jinghua’s persuasion and reluctantly agreed.
