Chapter 2019: Chapter 2016: The Bright Saintess’s Crisis

No matter how reluctant Ximen Tian and Sect Master of Storm Sect were, Ling Feng still decided to leave the Ancient Ruins for a while. Before leaving, he entrusted the matters of the White Star Organization to the four Hall Masters.

The Heavenly Scroll had just been implemented, and no one had yet truly practiced enough to leave the Ancient Ruins, so Ling Feng initially wanted to take the Cheng family members with him but regrettably discovered that they still lacked the strength to leave the Ancient Ruins.

The only one capable of leaving the Ancient Ruins, Cheng Minxue, refused Ling Feng’s proposal.

"I am a member of the Cheng family, and the Ancient Ruins is my home. I will not abandon my family and leave alone!" This is the message Cheng Minxue sent to Ling Feng.

"Moreover, in what capacity would I go?" Sitting in her room, Cheng Minxue looked at her snow-white hair and murmured to herself, "Since there must be a break, let it be a complete one. Besides, I don’t have that much time now!"

The Head of Cheng Family stood outside Cheng Minxue’s room and sighed. He had seen all the changes in his daughter, and of course, his heart ached. He also knew the reason for his daughter’s current state, but he could do nothing!

Blame Ling Feng? Ling Feng had done enough to save the entire Cheng family! Enlighten his daughter? Ever since his daughter obtained the Wordless Heavenly Scripture, the Head of Cheng Family found himself increasingly unable to understand her.

"Daughter, I only hope that you can have your own happiness. In that case, I, as a father, am satisfied!"

...

The Spatial Barrier of the Ancient Ruins was extremely solid. If Ling Feng’s strength hadn’t massively improved, he probably wouldn’t have had the ability to break through it and leave.

"Whew, finally left the Ancient Ruins!" A gleam flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes. "Now, it’s time to see some old friends!"

As the words fell, Ling Feng’s body turned into a stream of light and vanished into the sky.

At this moment, within the Angel World, the Angel Resistance Army was suffering unprecedented attacks.

Over these two years, the Holy Angel had gradually grown up. As the hope of the Angel Race, the Holy Angel held an extremely important position within the Angel Resistance Army, even more so than Camille in some aspects. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

But what made Camille dissatisfied was that the Holy Angel had, from childhood, been attached to Ling Feng and the Bright Saintess. Although Ling Feng "died" in the Valley of Dragon Tomb, the Bright Saintess still stayed by the Holy Angel’s side and had become the one the Holy Angel depended on the most, being called the Holy Mother!

Ling Feng’s "death" filled the Bright Saintess with hostility toward Camille. If Camille hadn’t led Ling Feng to the Valley of Dragon Tomb back then, how could Ling Feng have fallen there?

Therefore, under the influence of the Bright Saintess, the Holy Angel harbored a trace of hostility toward Camille too, which made Camille very displeased. To her, the Holy Angel, as the supreme existence of the Angel World, should be aligned with her.

How could the future King of the Angel Race be guided by the will of another plane?

Thus, Camille had to devise a way to eliminate the Bright Saintess, so she set up an opportunity, secretly informing the Holy Spirit King’s army of the Bright Saintess’s whereabouts, leading to the Bright Saintess being surrounded by the Holy Spirit King’s forces.

"I want to save my mother!" Over the short span of two or three years, the Holy Angel had grown into a youth. Upon learning of the Bright Saintess being besieged, he said anxiously.

Camille’s heart secretly rejoiced, as this was her plan all along—to have the Bright Saintess die at the hands of the Holy Spirit King’s army. This way, the Holy Angel would direct his hatred for the Bright Saintess’s death upon the Holy Spirit King, giving Camille ample time to gradually sway the Holy Angel.

"Dawn, I know you’re very anxious right now. We are also urgently mobilizing available forces, but the Holy Spirit King is conducting a comprehensive siege against us, and we can’t spare any additional forces to rescue the Holy Mother at the moment!"

The Holy Angel Dawn shook his head: "I don’t care. My mother is being attacked by the Holy Spirit King’s men; if I don’t go to rescue her, what makes me different from a beast? Father entrusted her to me before he left, and I must protect her!"

Speaking thus, Dawn looked at Camille and said: "I know you don’t like my mother, but even if it costs me my life, I must save her! If you try to stop me, I won’t be polite to you!"

Camille’s mouth twitched slightly. She and he were of the Angel Race; why did the Holy Angel insist on siding with outsiders?

Camille forced a smile and said: "How could I possibly not want to save the Holy Mother? My point is, we can’t mobilize forces from other areas right now; we can only rely on our Personal Guard Squad’s strength!"

"But Dawn!" At this point, Camille’s face turned solemn: "Our Personal Guard Squad is our last line of defense. If they’re wiped out, the Angel Resistance Army will suffer great losses, and we’ll never be a match for the Holy Spirit!"

"So, have you thought it through?" Camille said earnestly: "If you are willing to sacrifice the Angel Race’s future for the Holy Mother, I won’t stop you. After all, you will be the future king of the Angel Race."

Dawn’s face turned pale, though young, he understood everything. The current state of the Angel Race was indeed dire. While the Holy Spirit King was seriously injured, his armies were far stronger than the Angel Resistance Army!

Thus, under the suppression of the Holy Spirit King’s forces, the Angel Resistance Army was enduring tough times. Dawn was acutely aware of this.

He now found himself in a dilemma. He wanted to rescue the Bright Saintess, but he clearly understood that if he utilized the last of the Personal Guard Squad’s strength, and failed, the Angel Resistance army would lose its last hope.

Moreover, from current reliable sources, the Holy Spirit King’s army had sent five experts at the Pinnacle of the Azure Sky Realm to capture the Bright Saintess.

Seeing hesitation on Dawn’s face, Camille was secretly pleased and spoke gravely: "Dawn, the Personal Guard Squad is meant to cultivate leaders for the Angel Race. If it’s completely annihilated, our Angel Race will have no chance at overturning the situation. I know your feelings for the Holy Mother are deep, but I think even if she were here, she wouldn’t want you to sacrifice the future of the Angel Race just for her rescue!"

"Would she really say that?" Dawn’s eyes showed a hint of confusion; such a difficult decision was incredibly harsh for him.

Camille nodded: "Because the Holy Mother is a great person, and a great person could never selfishly wish to sacrifice the entire destiny for her own rescue."
