Chapter 1448: Saving Lives
“The Sea Burning Demonic Fire may appear without warning, but surely it leaves behind a trace when it disappears?” Ye Qing asked.
“Alas, it does not.” Jin Wanliang shook his head helplessly. “The Sea Burning Demonic Fire comes and goes without a trace. When it is time for it to disappear, it will return to the bottom of the sea and disappear in an extremely short time.”
“Several times, the elites of the Profound Alliance tried to track down the Sea Burning Demonic Fire when it began to recede. However, the Sea Burning Demonic Fire stirred up the seawater and created all kinds of deadly vortices and currents each time it slinked back to the bottom of the sea. In addition, all sorts of demonic monsters were blocking the way. As a result, no one had ever managed to catch up to the Sea Burning Demonic Fire. They always lost track of it halfway through the case, wasting time and effort.”
“That is why all we know is that the Sea Burning Demonic Fire originates from the deep sea.”
“Then...”
Ye Qing was about to ask something else when suddenly, his expression changed. He took one step forward—causing the surrounding space to ripple a little—and disappeared just like that.
“Where’s senior Ye?” Jin Wanliang was waiting for Ye Qing to ask his question. When he did not hear his voice though, he looked up in puzzlement and discovered that the man was nowhere to be found.
Where did he go? How could a man go missing just like that?
“He went away to save lives,” Feng Qingyou said in an indifferent voice.
“Save lives?” Jin Wanliang looked confused. The Sea Burning Demonic Fire was still a ways away from Gold Island, wasn’t it? Was there really a need for Ye Qing to intervene?
Puzzled as Jin Wanliang was, he did not dare to voice his question. He wasn’t sure why, but he was more reserved and careful around Feng Qingyou than he was around Ye Qing.
Why? He didn’t understand either. Feng Qingyou looked kind and gentle. He had never seen her losing her temper or attacking another. And yet, he always felt timid and fearful whenever he was in her presence. It was like he was a subject having an audience with his emperor; or an ant looking up to a god.
