Chapter 78: Ancestral Land of the Fire Tribe
As a strong contender among the younger generation, her destiny was starkly different from Huo Yan’s. He was a legitimate prodigy of the Fire Tribe, whereas she was just a lucky woman among the masses who had become part of the tribe due to her talent. Thus, she didn’t possess the same power as Huo Yan.
At this moment, Jin Qiongyu was filled with indignation and, beyond that, an overwhelming sense of helplessness.
Chen Pingping is different, she thought. He can’t die here; he can’t become an enemy of the Fire Tribe. He absolutely mustn’t!
Jin Qiongyu took a deep breath, her gaze complicated, reflecting a deep disappointment towards Huo Yan.
From the shadows, seeing her protect the Human Clan cultivator so fiercely, Huo Yan’s anger boiled over. He turned and left, never seeing the disappointment in Jin Qiongyu’s eyes. Perhaps, from the moment he made that decision, it was destined that they would each walk different paths.
「Back at the mansion.」
Jin Qiongyu grabbed her maidservant and ran off, exclaiming, "The Fire Tribe is done for, completely done for! I can’t prevent this disaster, but the least I can do is warn them."
The maidservant was utterly stunned by her words. "Huh?" she managed, then asked, "But aren’t we doing perfectly fine?"
"No!" Jin Qiongyu said gravely. "I have the ability to see through things, as you know. I’ve said before... a great disaster is coming. I’ve considered every possibility, and now I understand. The key to this disaster is that Human Clan cultivator. My heart grows increasingly uneasy. Go and inform the Clan Leader now! I hope it’s not too late."
The maidservant departed in a daze.
Jin Qiongyu, however, did not return to her residence. Gazing towards the depths of the mountains, she chose a different path. She intended to bypass Huo Yan and enter the ancestral land.
