Chapter 439: 233: Stab Yan Mo! New Dragon Mark Ruins! (Important)_2

Yan Mo picked her up and started walking without being able to explain himself clearly.

The little princess struggled with all her might, screaming, "Let me go, let me go..."

Then, she suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into Yan Mo’s chest and heart.

"Pu chi..." the dagger, about half a foot long, plunged entirely into Yan Mo’s chest.

With Yan Mo’s martial prowess, a hundred Yan Xues wouldn’t dream of penetrating his chest with a dagger.

Even if he opened his chest to her strike, she couldn’t pierce it as long as he released his dragon power and tightened all his muscles. Princess Yan Xue’er, using all her strength, wouldn’t be able to stab through.

But Yan Mo didn’t resist at all, letting his sister drive the dagger into his chest.

Even, when his sister stabbed the dagger into his chest, he felt a sense of forgiveness, as if the pain in his heart lessened a great deal.

Then, he looked at Yan Xue’er with profound distress, his eyes red, and said, "Xiaoxue’er, do you really... hate me that much?"

Princess Yan Xue’er shook her head and said, "Yes, I hate you, but I won’t kill you. I just wanted you to put me down. I absolutely, absolutely won’t leave, not even if I die. If you force me away, I will die right before your eyes."

Yan Mo looked into her eyes, which, despite their innocence, were filled with resolute will.

Several minutes of silence ensued.

In the end, King Yan Mo, holding back tears, put down his little sister, the princess.

"You really won’t come with me?" Yan Mo asked with a trembling voice.

"No," Yan Xue said, "My brother wouldn’t kill his own brother. I no longer have a brother."

Yan Mo’s face suddenly contorted with pain.

Princess Yan Xue said, "And you must not take the Queen’s Island Fleet. It was given to me by Mother Queen, and I cannot give it to you."

"Fine, I won’t take the Queen’s Island Fleet. It’s yours," Yan Mo said in agony, nodding his head. He then turned to several Yan women generals inside the palace and commanded, "Protect your little master well. When the freshwater runs out, take her away, no matter where, just take her away."

"Yes," the Yan women generals replied, but their gazes did not meet Yan Mo’s.

They were the confidants of the Yan Queen, and from the moment Yan Mo pushed Suo Lun into the abyss to his death, they had decided they would no longer be loyal to Yan Mo, for he had defied the will of his mother.

In contrast, Suo Lun, despite having no blood relation to the queen, was still willing to risk danger and return to save her, even at the cost of his own life.

At that instant, Suo Lun won the hearts of all the queen’s guards.

Yan Mo was about to leave the palace but then turned back.

He pressed a mechanism, closed the abyss’s entrance, and restored the palace hall floor.

Then, he took out his great sword and slashed the Golden Throne into pieces.

He had two reasons for destroying the throne: first, to cut off his retreat, indicating his resolve never to return to the Archipelagos of Rock.

Second, to destroy the mechanism, so that the abyss could never be opened again. He feared that Yan Xue might become despondent and jump into the abyss, following their mother and Suo Lun.

He was wrong. Yan Xue’s mind was that of a thirteen-year-old child; she hadn’t learned the concept of death in pursuit.

When parents and relatives are far away, there’s only one thing a child would do, sit at the doorstep, waiting for them to come back, and keep waiting just like that.

...

Two hours later!

Over seventy thousand salt miners, aboard thousands of ships of all kinds, laden with countless gold, treasures, and weapons, etc.

They set out in a formation that stretched over a hundred miles across the sea, heading toward the northwest.

Countless Rock citizens kneeled and bowed their heads on the ships.

Numerous people cried out, cutting their faces with daggers to let blood flow into the sea.

For thousands of years, generation after generation of Rock citizens lived on these islands, and now they had to leave.

Once they leave the Archipelagos of Rock, are they still Rock citizens?

Perhaps, the history of Rock citizens that lasted for thousands of years was severed today.

And the Queen’s Island Fleet belonging to the little princess, along with ten thousand salt miners and nearly two hundred ships, simply stayed moored in the port of the Archipelagos of Rock.

They had finished gathering a long time ago, yet they never set sail.

They just watched quietly as their kin departed, remaining motionless on their ships, their fleet stationary in the port.

Because their master, Princess Yan Xue, had given no orders.

And Princess Yan Xue’er sat directly on the hard, cold ground inside the great hall, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the spot where Suo Lun and her mother had disappeared, just waiting indefinitely.

...

Suo Lun, falling into the abyss!

Plummeting, falling endlessly!

First, he entered deep into the abyss, and then into the gaping maw of a giant beast.

Then, as if into an infinite tunnel.

Finally, there were bursts of bizarre and fantastical lights and shadows.

All sorts of colors, all sorts of brilliance—whenever Suo Lun passed through one, a strange energy cleansed and assaulted his brain.

In an instant, countless illusions and light shadows filled his mind.

It was as if he were trapped in a bizarre dreamscape, or as if someone had been locked in a dark room and made to watch decades’ worth of various images and movies.

Afterward, his mind was left completely empty.

Fortunately...

He had Yao Xing!

Yao Xing’s energy desperately protected Suo Lun’s brain, where his memories and wisdom were stored, tirelessly resisting these fantastical images and energies.

"Swish swish swish swish swish..."

Who knows how many tunnels he passed through, how many bizarre lights and shadows.

His clothes had long since turned to ashes, leaving only his smooth body behind.

Suo Lun could no longer bear such mental torment and fell directly into unconsciousness, to protect his mind.

...

He had no idea how much time had passed!

Suo Lun felt as though he’d gone through countless dreamscapes, complex and strange ones, completely fragmented scenes.

His head was splitting with pain, but he was under the protection of Yao Xing.

Gradually, his entire brain recovered its wholeness, but he still had a splitting headache and felt mentally shattered.

Struggling to get up, his vision was a blurred and warped mess, and he couldn’t see clearly at all.

It was as if he were in an extremely odd room.

It seemed like... a grand hall? Or perhaps, a chamber?

The surface he lay on was hard and yet smooth; it was indescribable—it felt like jade or something similar, with a kind of translucent quality.

Not far away, a woman lay motionless, just as naked as he.

Her devilish figure, curves undulating like hills and valleys, was filled with a demonic allure.

She... was the very Rock Queen who had jumped down as a living sacrifice.

Suo Lun struggled desperately to crawl over to see if the Rock Queen was still alive.

The distance of a dozen meters took him a full ten minutes to crawl, then he picked up the Rock Queen’s enchanting body and gently shook her, saying, "Auntie, auntie..."

At that moment, the voice of Yao Xing echoed in his heart.

"Master, I feel an energy, a familiar yet immensely powerful energy..."

He clearly felt Yao Xing’s voice trembling with excitement, as if in extreme exhilaration.

"What energy?" asked Suo Lun.

"The energy of the Dragon Mark relic..." replied Yao Xing.

Suo Lun was immediately astonished!
