Chapters 2852-2861 Strong Backing 4

2852 Since his death is inevitable, the elder plans on taking SL down with him, when CZ pinches his neck with 2 fingers, causing him to emit long farts uncontrollably. The 7th elder is mortified, raging at SL as she taunts him. Under SL’s questioning, the 7th elder denies her claims that he had killed the 8th elder, when she offers to wager over whether he thinks she has evidence.

2853 The 7th elder guesses that she does, and the crowd is stunned since he had personally confirmed it. The elder is still waiting for SL’s evidence, when she acts shocked that he would admit to it himself. The elder rages, realizing she would reveal her proof if he denied it, but act stunned if he admitted. Before CZ can kill the elder, SL requests for him to suffer more than death. RY hands her 9,000 Days of Absolute Tears, causing CZ to huff as they smile at each other.

2854 The 7th elder pleas with SL to kill him instead, while the 6th elder assures her the 7th will suffer all 9,000 days, alongside the 3rd elder. As they start leaving, SL recalls she still needs to save LYC. The 6th elder had managed to keep him alive, but he’s on his last breath. Since he wasn’t interested in the duel, OX had stayed with LYC, raging at SL to leave since she isn’t qualified to see him. Despite knowing SL isn’t petty enough to kill him, MM and LQ rush to silence OX, having seen CZ and RY’s treatment of SL.

2855 Author explaining she couldn’t make it, but will update 20 chapters the following day.

2856 Even if SL will let him off, MM and LQ are terrified of CZ’s reaction. OX ignores them, raging that SL was too selfish to help him redeem the Fountain of Youth vial, as the rest of the team rally behind SL. SL smirks he only had 50 points but the vial was 100,000 points. OX retorts that it’s better than SL disregarding LYC despite all her points. Having lost her patience with OX, SL heads to LYC’s room. His previous jadelike skin has turned become wrinkled and dry, with white hair and the appearance of an old man.

2857 MM cries that LYC won’t last much longer, while OX threatens to kill SL if he dies. Dismissing OX, SL takes out a small vial, as OX rages to the others to stop SL from killing LYC. The 6th elder arrives, remarking that it’s the Fountain of Youth, glaring at OX when he doubts him. OX then rages at SL for not telling him, when she jeers that he isn’t qualified to know, with his mere 50 points.

2858 While OX was acting in LYC’s interest, SL remarks that LYC had only ended up in such a state to save him. MM cries when the 6th elder reveals SL had made it just in time, revealing OX had slandered SL since returning, but they hadn’t believed him. SL is relieved that she’s repaid her debt to LYC, when RLK arrives. OX is stunned when SL greets him as little lion, as the RLK recounts how RY had healed him using an Imperial ranked BCP, before leading SL away.

2859 LQ breathes a sigh of relief, before explaining to the puzzled OX that she’s RY’s disciple and CZ’s god daughter, causing him to faint after 3 months of trying to discredit SL. The City Lord’s fortress is a levitating castle with magnificent towers, exuding a dignified presence as it basks in the soft red glow of the sunset. The RLK brings SL to the front, but can’t go any further since only she and YH can enter without permission, while only 5 people in total have ever been inside. SL enters the castle gardens, filled with blazing red flowers, when she notices RY. Running towards him, she asks if he’s always been searching for YH.

2860 While YH wouldn’t agree to her passing information, CZ and RY had been fervently looking for her, willing to dedicate their lives to find her. CZ arrives, reprimanding SL for sticking so close to RY. Knowing how dedicated both of them are, SL asks how they’d react if they find YH, only to see her next to her real father. Sensing the tension, and the loneliness in RY’s eyes, SL states she knows where YH is. Suddenly, RY and CZ each grip on one of her arms, demanding to know where she is, wide eyes filled with anticipation.

2861 SL reveals she’s in the Spirit World, when CZ remarks YH had sworn never to return there. However, both men are ecstatic that she’s still alive, satisfied just to be under the same sky as her and breathe the same air, before turning to leave. SL is stumped at being abandoned so quickly, when CZ hugs her, promising to kill the Empress, while RY laughs, telling SL to head to the Spirit World with them. SL is glad to see them so happy, knowing they’ll still be strong in the Spirit World, when they head there along with NL.
