Chapter 1559: The Selfless Vermilion Bird Princess

Everyone was given a massive fright by the sight of the young woman.

What was going on? Where had she come from?

Such an adorable and spritely yet powerful young woman…

Such a person did not exist in the Kingdom of the Nine States!

However, everyone still whooped with delight as she appeared to be an ally.

The Vermilion Bird Princess had Xu Xiaolan tucked under her left arm and An Lin tucked under her right as she fled into the distance, looking as if she were a manual human trafficker. Even though everyone was cheering for her, the rage and remorse on her face indicated just how much she regretted her decision.

“Why the hell did I even come to help you?!” The Vermilion Bird Princess was livid with herself.

In comparison, An Lin was extremely elated. “This shows that deep down inside, you still don’t want to see me die. Thank you, Vermilion Bird Princess. I’ll definitely repay you in the future.”

The Vermilion Bird Princess rolled her eyes. “You can repay by shutting your mouth!”

Xu Xiaolan could tell from their conversation that they shared quite an intimate relationship. However, she also knew that this was not the time to be asking questions, so she repressed the urge to do so.

“Xiaolan, let me introduce to you a friend I met at the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation. She is the Vermilion Bird Princess,” An Lin explained.

“Hello, Vermilion Bird Princess. Thank you for saving us,” Xu Xiaolan said with a grateful smile.

However, she was wondering why An Lin had never mentioned this Vermilion Bird Princess when he came back from the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation.

An Lin continued, “She’s actually the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird of the Southern Heavenly Wing Nation, and she’s a very kind-hearted bird.”

“You’re the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird?” Xu Xiaolan was a little astonished.

The Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird was renowned across the entire continent, not just because of her power, but also because she was the goddess of all birds. Even creatures of different species would be entranced and intoxicated at the sight of the beautiful and majestic Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird.

Her beauty transcended beyond the barriers of species and race.

The Vermilion Bird Princess stuck out her tongue with a sweet, cheeky smile on her face. “I am indeed the Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird. Almost no living beings have seen my human form, so you have to keep this a secret…”

Xu Xiaolan nodded with a stupefied expression. She was really struggling to draw a connection between this adorable young woman and the mighty, elegant Nine-Colored Divine Vermilion Bird.

A massive boom suddenly erupted from behind them.

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu had already broken through the defensive line consisting of the phoenix, the Celestial Thearch, Black Spirit Snake, and White Spirit Snake before hurtling toward the Vermilion Bird Princess at a speed beyond that of any Dao Integration Stage super mighty figure!

The Vermilion Bird Princess continued onward, and she gritted her teeth at the sight of the oncoming Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu. Even though she was talking about dropping An Lin and Xu Xiaolan, her arms tightened around them instead.

“What did I do to deserve this? Why did I meet someone like you?” the Vermilion Bird Princess grumbled with a resentful expression as the wings on her red high heels burst forth, elevating her speed explosively. She had unleashed an acceleration mystic technique!

“An Lin must die!”

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu spoke with an indisputable firmness in her voice, and no one was able to catch her.

The distance between them was constantly being reduced.

An Lin could feel his waist being held more and more tightly by the Vermilion Bird Princess, indicating that she was getting extremely tense as well. This was quite normal. After all, the Vermilion Bird Princess had already seen just how terrifying Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu was from spectating the battle. This was a monstrous being that even the Celestial Thearch, who was at the Dao Integration Pinnacle Stage, was no match for!

Whoosh!

A ball of darkness materialized into a spear that hurtled through the air.

The Vermilion Bird Princess was instantly struck by a sense that a connection had been forged.

This was the power of karma!

The power of darkness had fused together with the curse of karma, and the spear would not rest until it plunged its target into eternal darkness!

What a terrifying attack!

The Vermilion Bird Princess’ heart jolted with shock, and she immediately turned around to materialize a crystal shield before her, which was shimmering with nine-colored light. Upon closer inspection, one would find that this shield was actually over ten thousand crystal shields stacked together.

The black spear crashed into the crystal shield like a chaotic beast with its cavernous mouth wide open, tearing away at the crystal shield with its sharp fangs. One layer of crystal shield after another was quickly being engulfed and melted away, creating a massive hole.

The Vermilion Bird Princess’ eyes widened, and she unleashed all of her powers to bolster her spell technique.

However, the power of the black spear had far exceeded her imagination. It was like an unstoppable divine spear, and its target’s fate was sealed from the moment the spear was hurled.

The Vermilion Bird Princess looked deep into An Lin’s eyes with tears shimmering into her own eyes, as if to say: I’m going to die here because of you!

An Lin was also feeling extremely guilty. He was just about to say something when he discovered that he had been dropped by the Vermilion Bird Princess… At the same time, Xu Xiaolan had also been dropped.

A valiant expression appeared on the Vermilion Bird Princess’ face as she quickly flew away from An Lin and Xu Xiaolan.

The black spear was simply too devastatingly powerful, and she had to drop An Lin and Xu Xiaolan in case they were struck by its residual power!

Tears flowed from An Lin’s eyes, and he yelled in a panicked voice as the Vermilion Bird Princess prepared to sacrifice herself, “Vermilion Bird Princess!”

Images of past events began to surface in his mind.

The two of them had made each other’s acquaintance and became friends during their battle in the Sun Tree Arena. He surrendered the title of Sun Tree War God to the Vermilion Bird Princess, whom he had thought had already fallen in battle, only to meet her again on the seventh level of the Sun Tree. The Vermilion Bird Princess had created an opportunity for him to meet Yi Li… The two of them had also endured a trial of life and death in the Mythological Beast Sect’s Five-Colored Lightning Pit…

The Vermilion Bird Princess had always been an extremely thoughtful and considerate friend.

Tears were even flowing from Xu Xiaolan’s eyes.

She knew that the Vermilion Bird Princess was a very good person just from her willingness to sacrifice herself for others.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan tumbled to the ground while the Vermilion Bird Princess rose into the sky.

The black spear then began to change direction!

It was plunging straight toward the ground!

The Vermilion Bird Princess: “!!!”

An Lin: “???”

Xu Xiaolan drew a sharp intake of breath.

The black spear was flying directly toward An Lin!

Everyone faltered upon seeing this.

They finally understood that a karma connection had been established, but it had been established with An Lin instead of the Vermilion Bird Princess!

The Vermilion Bird Princess also came to a realization upon seeing this. She was wondering how Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu had managed to establish a karma connection with her despite the fact that she had never come into contact with her. All of it made sense now…

As for An Lin, the trauma in his heart was expanding incessantly…

Tears flowed from his eyes as he roared into the sky, “Why the f*ck do you hate me so much?!”

All of these mighty figures were throwing themselves at Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu, but Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu was determined to target a disabled man! Now that the Vermilion Bird Princess was trying to get them out of here, she still chose to ignore the Vermilion Bird Princess and target An Lin!

What kind of vendetta was this?

No one offered a response to An Lin’s roar of despair.

Heavenly Goddess Lin Yu continued to descend upon him with a frosty expression on her face and the devastating black spear in her hand!
