The Abandoned Wife’s Rebirth - Chap 92

Within and outwith of Gaoling City, it was still tremoring and shaking nonstop. All of the commoners thought that an earthquake had come and they ran out to open ground, one after the other. On the other hand, the Wu family thought that it was a disturbance created by those who had come to save Ba Se. However, even after Ba Se successfully escaped from Gaoling City, the tremors still persisted. It was only then that everyone raised their guard.

Wu Ruo calculated the date in his head and mumbled: “It is about time that it appeared.”

However, Ba Se was in luck. If it wasn’t for the sudden occurrence of the tremors, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Ba Se’s people to successfully rescue him from the Wu estate.

Wu Ruo raised his head and looked towards the man beside him, yet Wu Ruo saw that the corners of his lips were slightly raised. If one didn’t look closely, there was no way of knowing that he was smiling.

“What are you smiling at?” Wu Ruo looked in the direction of Hei Xuanyi’s line of sight but he didn’t see anything worth smiling about. However, that was the direction that Ba Se had left in.

He thought about it a little more and very quickly arrived at a conclusion; he immediately asked again: “Did you do something to Ba Se?”

When Hei Xuanyi heard the two syllables ‘Ba Se’, he finally showed a reaction. He suppressed the amusement from the corners of his lips and said nonchalantly: “I only damaged his family jewels.”

Actually, he had also crushed Ba Se’s spiritual field. It served Ba Se right for lusting over his wife.

Wu Ruo: “…”

At this moment, the tremors stopped, closely followed by the roars of ayaobeast. It was earth-shaking and everyone was struck with terror.

The expressions of the Wu family changed drastically. The average practitioner could determine the strengthof ayaobeast through the sounds that the beast made. Right now, thisyaobeast’s roars had such concussive force, it definitely wasn’t a smallyaothat would be easily dealt with.

Elder Rong said: “There’s a giantyaoheading towards our Gaoling City.”

Wu Bofang immediately commanded everyone from the Wu family to ascend the city gates to deal with the giantyao.

Wu Qianqing didn’t follow along to the city gates, but he let Wu Xi go along. In addition, he instructed her to be careful and to leave if she couldn’t manage.

Gaoling City’s commoners had naturally also heard the roars and, on the spot, they were so scared that their legs were shaking until someone yelled loudly: “There’s a giantyaoincoming! Everyone, hurry and find a place to hide!”

The commoners hastily returned to the burrows in their own residences to hide safely. After the period of two joss sticks, the major street that had been filled with people became empty. All around, it was deserted. Only the floor was full of things that people had abandoned, it was extremely dirty and messy.

Wu Ruo said: “Let’s go to the city gates to take a look as well.”

Hei Xuanyi didn’t go to the city gates and simply brought Wu Ruo to the highest point in Gaoling City, allowing Wu Ruo to see the giantyaooutside the city in a single glance. Its external appearance was a large white bear, but it looked much more vicious than a large white bear. Both of its eyes were crimson red and its teeth were white and sharp. It seemed as though it hadn’t eaten anything for many years. Yellow saliva fell endlessly from the corners of its mouth. When it landed on the ground, it would emit the hissing sounds of corrosion. Its claws were incomparably sharp; with one swipe, the walls of the city immediately became destroyed ruins. On top of that, there were large black horns all over its body, as though they were its armor. It was able to deflect the attacks coming from other people’s equipment. Its physique was also extremely tall and broad, like an immense mountain. The magic practitioners could only raise their heads and look at it with dread.

Half of those from the Western main estate responsible for Gaoling City’s security were dead in the span of one joss stick’s time. Although Wu Bofang had hurried to lead the Wu family to the city gates, but they only barely managed to stop the giantyaofrom entering the city. If things continued in this manner, it was only a matter of time before the giantyaobroke through the city walls and protective arrays, and killed all the magic practitioners within the city.

Just as everyone was fighting intensely, someone suddenly said: “Isn’t this the giantyaobeast that the First Masterreleased?”

At this moment, although the loud sounds of weapons hitting theyaobeast’s body filled the surroundings, there were still people who heard what this person said.

The infantry leaderand second master of the Western main estate, Wu Qianfan, who was currently healing everyone, rapidly turned his head over to look. He saw that the one who spoke was a bodyguard from the Wu estate and he immediately hauled him over, asking furiously: “What did you just say?”

The bodyguard was frightened and only then did they realize that they had just said the wrong thing: “N-nothing!”

Wu Qianfan gritted his teeth and said: “You clearly just said that this giantyaobeast was released by the First Master. Which First Master are you referring to? Which main estate’s First Master is it? You better answer me honestly. Otherwise, I’ll finish you off, right here, right now!”

The bodyguard was afraid and immediately answered: “The Southern main estate’s First Master.”

“Wu Qianjing?” Wu Qianfan’s eyes were full of red: “What the hell happened?”

The bodyguard hurriedly explained the matter from a while back, when they had gone with Wu Qianjing and the others to capture the giantyaobeast.

When Wu Qianfan finished hearing about it, he fiercely shoved the bodyguard aside and said furiously: “What a good job, Southern main estate! Youeven dare to provoke this sort of giantyaobeast. You simply don’t want your lives anymore!”

He looked at the ground that was filled with the corpses of those from the Western main estate, among which included his son, Wu Anya. He was filled with incessant grief and indignation. He immediately went to look for Wu Bofang, explaining the matter from start to finish.

Wu Bofang didn’t dare to believe that this giantyaobeast had been incurred by those of the Southern main estate. He hurriedly summoned Wu Qianjing for questioning.

Wu Qianjing had never thought that Wu Bofang would find out about this matter. In an instant, his expression was like burnt-out cinders. Even without his acknowledgment, Wu Bofang could tell just from his expression that this giantyaobeast had been provoked by Wu Qianjing and his lot. On the spot, he was so infuriated that he slapped Wu Qianjing across the face. He said, bursting with fury: “The lot of you from the Southern main estate, besides causing trouble, what other wonderful things can you do? Other than Qianqing, not a single one of you sets my mind at ease!”

Wu Qianjing was slapped across the face in front of everyone and felt both embarrassed and humiliated. When he heard Wu Bofang mention Wu Qianqing, he felt even more infuriated and jealous. In his heart, he thought to himself, of the whole Southern main estate, other than Wu Qianqing, who else was worthy of Wu Bofang’s attention? At this point, Wu Qianqing had already been reduced to a disabled piece of trash by the rest of them, but Wu Bofang still mentioned Wu Qianqing. If Wu Bofang felt that Wu Qianqing was so great, then he should get Wu Qianqing to deal with this giantyao!

But Wu Bofang didn’t know what Wu Qianjing was thinking and continued asking: “This giantyaowas unleashed by you lot, then do you know the method of sealing thisyaobeast back again?”

Wu Qianjing shook his head no: “We don’t know.”

Wu Bofang was even angrier: “Then how did you lot know the method to unleash it?”

“We also only heard from the person who wanted to capture thisyaobeast.”

Wu Bofang howled furiously: “Then where is this person now?”

Wu Qianjing: “…”

“Hurry and spit it out! Do you want to see more people dead?”

Wu Qianjing replied: “He’s not someone from Gaoling City.”

What could be done even if that person knew the method to seal the beast? After all, distant waters could not put out a near fire. Even if they found the person, it would be over for Gaoling City by then.

Wu Bofang’s body swayed a little; he was nearly about to faint from his anger.

He felt that the current Wu family was about to fall at the hands of this giantyao; he feared that they would not be able to overcome this disaster.

“Grandfather, are you alright?” Wu Qianjing hurriedly supported Wu Bofang, who was about to collapse.

Wu Bofang waved him away weakly, watching the Wu family members who were falling one after another. His heart was full of inexplicable despair and anguish. Just when he was about to ask everyone to retreat from the scene, suddenly, a giant crow beast flew in front of the giantyaobeast. In addition, there were two small children with delicate features sitting atop the giant crow beast.

Their sudden appearance attracted everyone’s attention.

Wu Xi’s expression changed and she anxiously shouted: “Dandan! It’s dangerous over there! Come over here to me quickly!”

“Gugu, I want to try out the new weapon that Father made!” Dandan giggled happily; he wasn’t afraid of the danger at all. After that, he took a round ball out of the pouch that Hei Xin had given him. Like launching a secret weapon, he tossed it towards the giantyaobeast, with a ‘dong!’ sound, the weapon struck the giantyaobeast’s body. After that, rolling rapidly, it slid off of the giantyaobeast’s body.

Everyone: “…”

Ji Xi, who was sitting behind him, knocked his head irritably: “You need to channel your spiritual energy into the weapon before you throw it, so that it’ll activate. If you just hurl it like that, what difference is there from throwing a rock?”

When he finished speaking, he made Jiujiu fly downwards to pick the weapon up.

At this moment, the giantyaobeast noticed them, lifting its talons and swiping towards them.

“Dandan, be careful!” When Wu Xi saw the scene before her, her heart jumped right up into her throat.

Jiujiu’s speed was extremely fast, the speed of Ji Xi’s hand was also very fast. When they flew past the weapon, they rapidly picked the weapon up. Afterwards, they were able to narrowly dodge the giantyaobeast’s attack.

Wu Xi was so frightened that her legs went soft.

Everyone else was also dripping with cold sweat because of the two children.

The bigyaobeast was unable to squash them to death, but it did not give up and attacked in their direction once more.

Jiujiu spewed a raging blaze of fire directly at the giantyaobeast’s claws. It burned the giantyaobeast so badly that it cried out piteously in pain and retreated several steps.

Wu Bofang’s gaze brightened and he felt that there was hope of chasing the giantyaobeast away. He hurriedly looked for Wu Xi and asked: “Who are those two children?”

Wu Xi’s worried gaze never left Dandan: “The littler one is myerge‘s son. I don’t know who the bigger one is. They could be a child of one of Yi-ge‘srelatives.”

“Erge?Xiao-Ruo?Xiao-Ruo already has a child?” Wu Bofang very quickly remembered that this child had been brought by Hei Xuanyi and he said urgently: “Quick, get that child to tell that giant crow to burn the giantyaobeast and chase it away!”

“Ah?” Wu Xi was stunned for a moment.

“What are you ‘ah’-ing for? Quick, do as I say!”

Wu Xi nodded her head and yelled to Dandan as Wu Bofang had instructed.

Dandan was unhappy, pouting as he said: “I don’t want to! I haven’t had enough fun yet!”

Wu Bofang was almost angered into a faint by this child. Was this the time to be playing around?

The giantyaobeast smothered the fire on its talons and immediately aimed at Dandan’s trio with its black horn. Following that, innumerable little black horns shot forth from within the black horn, as though thousandsofjianwere being launched simultaneously. Every single one shot towards the three of them.

Jiujiu agilely avoided them and spewed another mouthful of raging flames towards the giantyaobeast’s eyes.

The giantyaobeast made a bloodcurdling shrieking noise, crashing towards the ground, using its claws to madly swipe at the tongues of flames around its eyes.

On the other hand, Dandan, who was sitting on Jiujiu’s back, was still puzzling over how to open the weapon: “How do I open this weapon?”

“Channel your spiritual energy into it.” Ji Xi taught him how to channel his spiritual energy into the weapon.

After expending the energy of nine bulls and tigers, Dandan finally figured out how to use the weapon. Once the weapon opened, it soared into the air, spreading over their heads.

Dandan wondered: “Why doesn’t it attack theyaobeast?”

Ji Xi rolled his eyes: “This is a defensive weapon. It only protects people, it won’t attack theyaobeast.”

“Ah?” Dandan dug into his pouch again for another weapon.

Ji Xi glanced into the pouch: “These are all defensive weapons.”

Dandan replied indignantly: “Why is it all defensive weapons?”

“These were made for your daddy by your father, they can all help your father to protect your daddy. Of course he would only make defensive weapons.”

Wu Bofang, who was far away, could not hear what they were saying and could only see them still holding onto the weapons and discussing with each other, so he was very anxious.

At this moment, the giantyaobeast that had crashed to the ground got up again. The black horn on its head began emitting black gas.

Wu Bofang thought that it could very well be poisonous gas, and his expression changed: “Not good!”

Jiujiu also noticed that the situation didn’t look good and rapidly spewed a massive fire towards the giantyaobeast. This time around, the flames that were spewed out were even more vicious than those of the previous two times. In an instant, the fur on the giantyaobeast were all set aflame. It was so painful that it kept shrieking, turning around to leave Gaoling City at the speed of light.

Dandan saw this and anxiously called: “It wants to run away! Jiujiu, chase after it quick!”

Jiujiu faced the skies and let out a loud call, flying in the direction that the giantyaobeast had fled off to.

Wu Ruo who had been observing from afar within Gaoling, saw Dandan chasing after the giantyaobeast and felt a faint pain in his temples.
