Chapter 1372: Chapter 1371: Heading to Butterfly Valley
"Brother, that’s enough, I appreciate your kindness."
Saying that, the Witch clasped her hands together, and suddenly, her body turned a fiery red. She transformed into a massive bundle of hair, launching toward the captain. In an instant, the hair struck the captain’s chest and exploded, destroying the Profound Iron Battle Armor.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong sensed an opportunity. He quickly picked up the Dragon Slayer Sword and used the Sword Control Skill to swiftly pierce through, penetrating the captain’s entire body.
A few seconds later, the captain’s massive body fell with a crash, and his samurai, seeing the situation, fled in disorder.
At this time, Yili was beyond saving. She collapsed weakly on the ground, murmuring, "Young man, come over here."
Chen Tianlong swiftly went over, then helped her up and urgently asked, "How are you doing?"
"Young man, I can’t make it, cough cough, can you promise me one thing?" Yili said weakly.
"Sure, just say it."
Chen Tianlong saw she was on the brink of death and didn’t pay much attention to anything else.
"Mo Xue, that child is very pitiful. Can you help me take her to Butterfly Valley?" Yili pleaded.
"Butterfly Valley? What kind of place is that?" Chen Tianlong had never heard of it.
"It’s the place you’re planning to go. Since the first time you mentioned the Element of Release, I knew what you wanted to do. Young man, you must promise me."
Yili seemed to know something but spoke as if she couldn’t reveal it.
"Alright, alright, I promise you."
Chen Tianlong felt that she was about to die and he was still being so hesitant.
Suddenly Yili coughed a few times, spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof," then her eyes turned white, and her hand drooped.
"What? Witch, don’t die, where’s my Element of Release? You haven’t given it to me yet." Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered his purpose. If she were going to die, she should at least give the stuff before dying, otherwise, it’s just nonsense.
But the next moment, Chen Tianlong was amazed to find that Witch Yili’s body slowly vaporized, leaving only a bright, shiny orb, which Chen Tianlong caught in his hand.
A miraculous thing happened. The glowing thing directly penetrated into his palm and then disappeared.
"Ah!"
Chen Tianlong was startled and thought: Could this be the Element of Release that was just injected into my body?
Chen Tianlong pondered for a moment and decided to try for himself. So he attempted to practice the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique and found that the speed of the Heart Method had increased by countless times, beyond mere words like one or two times.
Chen Tianlong was very surprised and quietly happy, having finally obtained the Element of Release.
He picked up the Dragon Slayer Sword, suddenly realizing that the ancient castle was shaking violently.
"Oh no, the ancient castle is going to collapse."
This was Chen Tianlong’s first reaction.
So he immediately activated the Heart Method of the Flying Shoes, dashing forward, navigating through the collapsing buildings with great peril.
As he approached the door, the pillars at the entrance suddenly crumbled and were falling, about to block the exit.
Chen Tianlong gritted his teeth, feeling he must rush through; otherwise, missing this chance meant he couldn’t get out. So he once again used the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, muttering, "Dragon Slayer Sword, Dragon Slayer Sword, you need to help me out this time, or I’ll die here."
At this moment, the Dragon Slayer Sword suddenly emitted a dazzling light, its speed rapidly increasing. Chen Tianlong was shocked, truly not expecting that the Dragon Slayer Sword would propel him as it dashed out.
"Whosh!"
Chen Tianlong was startled as the Dragon Slayer Sword swiftly took him through the door. Subsequently, the ancient castle collapsed, turning to ashes.
Once on the ground, Chen Tianlong looked back, still a bit scared, relieved that he ran quickly; otherwise, he almost lost his life.
"Chen Tianlong, are you alright?"
Wu Mengting ran over with Mo Xue and Gu Yuxin, worriedly asking.
"Haha, how could anything happen to me?"
Chen Tianlong started bragging, although he had just been scared out of his wits.
"It’s good that you’re alright."
Gu Yuxin, not in a good mood, remarked, knowing Chen Tianlong was boasting.
"Haha, that’s good then, Chen Tianlong, where is Little Xue’s mother?" Wu Mengting, looking at the leveled ancient castle, suddenly remembered Witch Yili.
At this time, Chen Tianlong paused, gently asking Mo Xue, "Mo Xue, you must be strong. Your mother has left us. Before she passed, she entrusted me to take you to a place called Butterfly Valley to find your family."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xue resolutely bit her lip, and with a twinge in her nose, tears began to flow. Such a young child was so strong, Wu Mengting held her tight, comforting, "Mo Xue, if you want to cry, just cry. Big Sister Wu Mengting will protect you."
After a while, Mo Xue wiped her tears and then stood up, saying, "Big Brother, let’s go, take me to find my family."
Chen Tianlong nodded, then led everyone out from the Illusion Gate, returning to the stone cave where they had started. Following Isle Master Gu’s instructions, they entered the second Illusion Gate, the Attack Speed Elemental Gate.
Entering the second secret realm, unlike the bright and expansive first, it was directly a cave, with a desolate atmosphere all around. The girls following behind all felt an inexplicable fear.
There was not even a plant growing here, indicating the place receives very little sunlight.
Chen Tianlong led them slowly through the cave. Though not too bright inside, it wasn’t dark either. Passing through several caves, they reached a slightly more spacious one, where suddenly, a mountain wind blew in, bringing a refreshing coolness.
Chen Tianlong squinted, gazing ahead, noticing a faint mist spreading in the cave, while the wind came from some unknown corner.
"Chen Tianlong, it’s so cold here, how can the wind be so strong?"
Wu Mengting shivered and couldn’t help but ask.
"Mengting, I also don’t know why the wind is so strong. Let’s do this, you all hold hands, and I’ll lead you forward."
For now, this was the solution Chen Tianlong thought of.
So Wu Mengting went to the front, in the middle holding Mo Xue’s hand, followed by Mo Xue holding Gu Yuxin, while Chen Tianlong held Wu Mengting, leading the way.
Chen Tianlong, solely focused on whether there was danger ahead, remained highly vigilant. The four walked for about ten minutes, arriving beside a secret chamber. Chen Tianlong stealthily approached, peeking inside and seeing several spear-wielding guards patrolling.
"How come there are soldiers? Could this be a secret prison?" Chen Tianlong thought curiously.
"Hmm! There are actually people inside."
Gu Yuxin, curious as well, came over for a look.
"Shh! Lower your voice, or we’ll be in trouble again if we’re discovered," Chen Tianlong motioned for silence.
"Tch, you coward." Gu Yuxin grumbled displeased.
Chen Tianlong forced a smile, not saying anything further, simply observing everything around. Suddenly, his eyes landed on a plaque, clearly inscribed with large characters: Butterfly Valley.
"So this is Butterfly Valley." Chen Tianlong, pleased, pointed at the inscription on the cave entrance.
Everyone else followed Chen Tianlong’s pointing direction, becoming just as delighted.
"Mo Xue, we’ve finally found Butterfly Valley! Soon, you’ll be able to meet your family," Wu Mengting excitedly said to Mo Xue.
Mo Xue also smiled happily, thinking: Father, it’s been so many years, I wonder how you’ve been.
"Alright, since this is Butterfly Valley, we must think of a way to get inside, or else this trip would have been in vain," Chen Tianlong turned to the group and said.
"Uh-huh." Wu Mengting quickly nodded.
Chen Tianlong approached the door, gently pushing it open and slipping inside, signaling that it was empty. The three girls followed, sneaking in behind the cover, moving slowly together. Suddenly a patrol passed by, and Chen Tianlong pressed down the person in front, preventing detection.
However, after it was over, he realized his hand was still on a girl’s back. At this moment, Gu Yuxin turned around, glaring, and scolded, "Damn Chen Tianlong, are you trying to take advantage of me? Where are your hands?"
Chen Tianlong was speechless, thinking who would consider such things in such an urgent moment, although he still smiled awkwardly to show his innocence. Beside them, Mo Xue covered her mouth, unable to hold back laughter, when suddenly someone spoke up.
