Chapter 99: Chapter 24 The Light of Tranquility_2
Ah Dai’s consciousness had already become completely blurred; all of the magic power within his body had been transferred to Xuan Yue. They seemed as if they were one; his body merely stood there subconsciously and he was completely unaware of what was happening around him. Everything was under Xuan Yue’s control.
Collected her thoughts, Xuan Yue struggled to control the enormous energy gathered on the magic wand in her hand, and continued to chant, "Endless holy light! You are the purest power in the world, with your just and harmonious breath, calm all turbulences, restore peace to the heart, return the wisdom to the body, and gather the power in the body. Go ahead, tranquil light blessed by the Sky God." This Light of Tranquility, known as the Calming Incantation, is a widespread supporting magic. It can eliminate turbulence, confusion, detoxification and other abnormal states, restore the user’s calm, and has certain healing power. In the light magic, it is seldomly used as it does not provide as much support in a battle as the fourth-level Light of Blessing. But its specialty lies in its ability to alleviate berserking and detoxification. It was most suitable to be used on Yan Shi now.
The enormous divine energy surrounding Xuan Yue gradually converged into the magic crystal at the top of the magic wand under the prompting of the incantation. If it wasn’t for this almost divine artifact-like magic wand, Xuan Yue herself would hardly be able to even use the third-level light magic. Xuan Yue’s bright eyes opened wide, and the magic wand pointed in Yan Shi’s direction. The top-grade magic crystal shone brightly, and a cloud of golden light immediately flew out, covering Yan Shi and tens of people around him. Xuan Yue’s own strength was too weak after all, and the Light of Tranquility only exerted less than one third of its power, covering only a small area. But for now, this was already enough. Yan Shi, shrouded in golden light, suddenly stiffened. Holding his deceased wife in his arms, he stood there motionless, panting heavily, his red eyes gradually returned to brown, and two lanes of blood tears flowed out, and he became stupefied. The warriors around him, with the help of the Light of Tranquility, immediately regained their spirits, quickly pounced beside Yan Shi, and successfully subdued him.
The light faded, Ah Dai could no longer support himself and collapsed to the ground with a soft thud. Xuan Yue’s mind went blank, her body swayed and sat down on the ground. Unable to stand any longer, she passed out onto Ah Dai. Their hands, however, were still tightly held together without separation. Both of them almost lost consciousness at the same time.
After an unknown amount of time, Ah Dai slowly woke up, his brain felt dull and heavy, apparently due to the excessive exhaustion of his spiritual power, he hadn’t yet recovered. The sound of horse-drawn carriage wheels came constantly. After a while, he fully woke up. Opening his eyes, he saw Xuan Yue leaning against him, still sleeping deeply, and his hand was holding Xuan Yue’s. The soft and smooth feeling made Ah Dai’s face flush red. Xuan Yue’s small hand also held his tightly, already soaked with sweat. Ah Dai thought to himself, since she was still asleep, he’d just hold her for now. Looking around, they had returned to the horse-drawn carriage. Moon Scar and Yue Ji were sitting opposite him, closed their eyes to recuperate, while Miao Fei leaned on one side, snoring softly.
"Moon Scar, Brother Moon Scar." Ah Dai called softly.
Moon Scar opened his eyes, and upon seeing Ah Dai awake, a glint of happiness flashed in his eyes, "Brother Ah Dai, how are you? Is there anything uncomfortable in your body?"
Ah Dai shook his head, saying, "Nothing, just a bit weak. Are we on the road again? How is Brother Yan Shi? We just left without caring about him? We don’t even know how his wife died, poor Brother Yan Shi."
Moon Scar gave a bitter smile, "We are indeed on the road, but we are on the way to Clan Leader Pu Yan’s tribe. You and Lady Xuan Yue have been in a coma for a day. Yesterday at noon, the Calming Incantation you used together played a huge role in dispelling Yan Shi’s berserk state before his life energy was exhausted. But still, his wife’s death remains a mystery. Therefore, the tribesfolk decided to send Yan Shi and his wife to Clan Leader Pu Yan. They are afraid that Yan Shi might lose control again and have knocked him out. He’s currently in the horse carriage behind us, along with his wife’s coffin. The people of the Pu Yan Tribe are grateful to you. Without your help, Yan Shi’s life would have been in danger. However, they also say that we are outsiders and therefore suspects, so we are not allowed to go, insisting that we go to their clan leader, who will decide our fate. There are as many as five hundred elite warriors of the Pu Yan Tribe ’escorting’ us. It seems that our journey to Death Mountain Range is going to be difficult. I never thought we would encounter such a thing."
Ah Dai sighed, "Poor Brother Yan Shi, he must have loved his wife so much. Sigh, let’s go and see. I also want to know what happened, who was it who was so cruel as to kill Yan Shi’s wife."
Yue Ji opened her eyes and said, "Aren’t you afraid they would make scapegoats out of us? With the Pu Yan Tribe’s hatred towards outsiders, I’m afraid our days would not be good if we go! If it weren’t for their large numbers and both of you fainted, we would have thought of ways to leave this place long ago. It was a misjudgment in the beginning. It would be better to make a detour and pass through the Ya Lian tribe, even though it’s a bit longer, at least we wouldn’t be in this awkward situation."
