Chapter 616 -616: A Blessing in Disguise Amid Misfortune
Elysia Xander’s pupils shrank sharply.
As the last bit of spiritual light seeped into her forehead, she rolled her eyes and fainted on the spot.
Preston Xander withdrew his hand and then said in a deep voice,
“Put her to the side first, and after dealing with this situation, we’ll take her back.”
Even though he punished her unilaterally, because she let the Undying Bone escape out of personal interest, both the Capital Metropolitan Hospital and the Security Bureau would hold her accountable again.
But most likely, that’s all there is.
After all, they can’t ignore the sacrifices her parents made for the Mystical Sect.
Since the Undying Bone had hidden its aura when it escaped, two deans decided to set up a tracking array to quickly find the whereabouts of the Undying Bone.
At this moment, Gregory Xander glanced around and then asked Scarlett Jennings,
“Where is Senior Brother Jingze?”
Scarlett Jennings replied, “He and Senior Brother Nathan are rescuing people at the west warehouse of the village.”
After the flood dragon teleported and disappeared, Scarlett remembered the ninety-nine Yin girls sacrificed with blood at the west warehouse and sent Senior Brother Jingze back there.
Later, when a large number of living corpses were drawn over, she took a moment to send a message to Nathan, asking him to rush over there too.
They were there to guard the barrier in the warehouse to prevent any living corpses from seeking the blood scent, and also to try to rescue people first.
At that time, the Myriad Corpses Formation wasn’t completely finished; some people inside were… still alive.
Leaving a few to guard the living corpses, the group hurriedly rushed to the west warehouse of the village.
Seeing the warehouse with half of its roof broken and the chaos inside, along with the rows of girls lying on the ground, everyone couldn’t help but curse the person behind this viciously.
To cultivate the Undying Bone, so many lives were sacrificed!
This is why people of the Mystical Sect despise the heretical paths so intensely.
“Senior Brother Jingze, Senior Brother Nathan.”
The group led by Scarlett Jennings quickly moved forward to relieve the two whose complexions had already turned pale.
Before they arrived, the two had already tended to the wounds and stabilized the souls of the victims.
Senior Brother Jingze said with heavy sadness,
“Sixty-four people have already lost their breath due to excessive blood loss; the rest are barely hanging on with their souls.”
Fortunately, Nathan arrived and used the healing arts of the White Sect to save the lives of several people. Otherwise, the death toll might have been higher.
Nathan, at this moment, sat limply on the ground with his head lowered, still appearing somewhat lost,
“I should have come earlier.”
Hearing this, everyone felt a bit heavy-hearted.
It was the dean of Sea City who comforted,
“At least thirty-five people survived.”
This was a bit of luck amid misfortune.
Everyone began to handle the aftermath, and Scarlett Jennings, noticing Nathan’s clearly overdrawn state of spiritual power, secretly placed the North Spirit Stone given by Samuel Chalmers into his arms.
His condition was clearly worse than hers.
As soon as Nathan came into contact with the North Spirit Stone, he widened his eyes in surprise, but soon held it tightly with both hands.
The Lloyd Village required too much post-disaster management, and the group had to stay in the village temporarily until the next day when the main force of the Mystical Sect arrived, allowing Scarlett and her team to return first.
With such a major incident occurring, the academy’s competition had to be temporarily postponed. Upon hearing the news, Donovan Jennings immediately brought a special plane to take Scarlett and her party back to Sea City.
He was unaware of any business the Mystical Sect had to deal with; he only knew his sister needed rest now.
The Jennings Family had been worried about Scarlett Jennings since the broadcast cut off, and when she just returned home, the entire Jennings Family came over.
Even Grandma Jennings and Chase Jennings eagerly came out, and seeing Scarlett returned with all her limbs intact, they muttered softly,
“I told you nothing would happen to her.”
Lucas Jennings, however, wiped his tears and rushed over immediately,
“Sis! I just knew you’d be alright! I wasn’t worried about you at all! I never worried about you, boo hoo hoo…”
His emotions came on too strong, instantly making everyone else seem overly calm.
Everyone: …
Hey, the way you’re acting makes it seem like we’re all indifferent.
It’s wrong to say they’re worried, and wrong to say they’re not.
