Chapter 387: A Storm is Brewing

Having defeated Vatler, the two long swords in Lingyun's hands also dissolved into specks of light and vanished. The white long sword transformed into the Three Phantom Gods, slowly disappearing beside Lingyun. The black long sword transformed into Liuli, appearing beside Lingyun.

"Cough, cough, so this is your true strength? It is not at all inferior to any of the True Ancestors!" Vatler coughed up a mouthful of blood and spoke.

On the hideous wound on his body, a powerful force of purification was attached, constantly purifying the magic power within him. If Vatler were not a vampire with an immortal body, this single sword strike alone would have been enough to make Vatler a cripple.

The phantom of the Yellow Dragon behind Lingyun slowly dissipated, and the Four Symbols Array shrouding the sky above Itogami Island also slowly vanished. The moment the Four Symbols Array disappeared, the entire Itogami Island couldn't help but shake; this was a phenomenon that only occurred when the magic power of the Dragon Vein was drained in a short period of time.

A Space Array unfolded beside Lingyun, and the figure of Nangong Nayue appeared before him.

"Has the battle already ended?" Nangong Nayue looked at Vatler, who was sprawled on the ice, and spoke irritably. "Is this snake-charmer not dead yet?"

"After all, his backer is the First Progenitor, the Forgotten War King. If we kill him directly, we will very likely have to face that guy, and that fellow is not as easy to deal with as this one!" Lingyun said indifferently.

Nangong Nayue frowned slightly. Lingyun's words were not wrong; this guy currently held the status of the War King Domain's ambassador stationed on Itogami Island. If anything happened to him on Itogami Island, it would also be a big problem.

"Let's take this guy back first. The power of Cain that erupted from Vatler just now—I'm afraid the other True Ancestors already know about this matter. Perhaps they have already sent people heading toward Itogami Island," Lingyun said.

"The retainers of the three True Ancestors?" Nangong Nayue rubbed her temples with a headache, then directly unfolded a Space Array and swept everyone here into it.

After returning to Itogami Island, Nangong Nayue threw Vatler directly into the embassy, then took Lingyun back to the Villa.

As soon as he returned to the Villa, Lingyun's complexion immediately turned pale, and a trace of blood spilled from his mouth.

Nangong Nayue held Lingyun with some anxiety: "Lingyun, are you alright?"

Lingyun waved his hand slightly: "It's fine, the consumption was just a bit too high. As long as I regulate my breathing for a while, I can recover."

Summoning both of his great familiars at once this time was a huge drain on Lingyun, not to mention that Lingyun had also channeled the entire power of Itogami Island onto himself. If his constitution hadn't been strong enough, he likely would have collapsed under such immense power. Even so, Lingyun still suffered significant internal injuries, and he likely wouldn't be able to use force for a period of time.

"By the way, how is the situation with Asagi?" Lingyun asked.

"Just as you said, Vatler sent one of his confidants to attack Aiba Asagi, but he happened to run into the muzzle of Xiao Gucheng. You should understand the result; that guy was beaten into a mess," Nangong Nayue shrugged and said. "However, he is also in big trouble now."

"Big trouble?" Lingyun raised an eyebrow.

"That's right, the fact that he is the Fourth Progenitor has already been discovered by Aiba Asagi, and now she is pestering Xiao Gucheng!" Nangong Nayue said with a light chuckle.

"Alright, we can't interfere in such matters," Lingyun said with a faint smile. "But I believe Xiao Gucheng will handle this matter well!"

"You trust him that much?"

"He is the Fourth Progenitor, after all. No matter what, he can be considered someone favored by heaven and earth. There might be a few twists and turns, but in the end, there should be a perfect ending!" Lingyun said.

"Master, are you alright!" Just as the two were talking, Luo Yexi ran in from outside the door with Yese Xiayin.

"I'm fine," Lingyun shook his head, then turned his gaze toward Yese Xiayin. "Xia Yin, don't you have school?"

"After such a big incident, the school has temporarily suspended classes," Yese Xiayin said softly.

"Take a leave of absence for this period of time. After I defeated Vatler, Itogami Island is already in a state where a storm is brewing. The power of Cain has appeared here; I fear most of the world's eyes are gathered here now!" Lingyun said. "Among these people, there is no lack of guys who can be listed as lunatics, and such people might target you, who are an Angel."

Yese Xiayin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Xia Yin, regarding the matter of becoming an Angel, do you... regret it?" Lingyun suddenly asked softly. "After all, I turned you into an Angel without your consent back then, and then dragged you into the vortex time and time again."

Hearing this question, Nangong Nayue exchanged a glance with the other, then quietly left, leaving this place to the two of them.

Yese Xiayin bit her lip and gently leaned her body against Lingyun: "I have never regretted it. Becoming an Angel was a choice I made after asking my own heart."

At the same time, Yese Xiayin added silently in her heart: "If I hadn't become an Angel, I would have drifted further and further away from you; that is the thing I least want to see."

Seeing Yese Xiayin's appearance, Lingyun sighed softly, reached out to hold Yese Xiayin, and said nothing more.

"Are you envious?" Liuli said quietly to Nangong Nayue and Luo Yexi beside her.

"Ya—" Luo Yexi and Nangong Nayue, who were peeking at the scene in the room, couldn't help but be startled.

"Sister Liuli, why are you here too?" Luo Yexi patted her chest and asked softly.

"Hee hee, did you think I didn't know your thoughts?" Liuli said with a light chuckle.

"Ugh..." Luo Yexi's small face turned red all at once, and she stammered, wanting to defend herself, but couldn't say a word.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore," Liuli chuckled. "We still have plenty of time; there is no need to rush such things. Isn't letting things take their natural course the best way?"

After Liuli finished speaking, she drifted away from this place.

Time passed quickly, and the three True Ancestors had already sent their envoys close to Itogami Island. At the same time, various secret organizations also sent their own people into Itogami Island using various different methods.

All kinds of people appeared on Itogami Island, making the ordinary residents of Itogami Island feel that the surrounding atmosphere had become unusual. In this state, Itogami Island gradually showed signs of a brewing storm; it would only take a trigger to ignite a terrifying tempest.
