My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 424 - 425: Could Gu Xing Still Be Alive?!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Phoenix Ni remained suspended in the sky, her eyes of crimson-gold reflecting no emotion whatsoever.
When the declaration from Liu Li reached her—the claim that "The master is dead"—not a single muscle moved on her stunning visage.
In place of grief, there was only a subtle, nearly invisible aura of...
Detachment.
She simply refused to believe it.
If their master was truly the type to perish so easily at the Demon God’s hands, his soul scattering into nothingness...
Then who was the one who had pulled her back from the brink of death and established their pact?
As a creature whose existence dated back to the earliest days of the Alternate Space.
The ancient mysteries she possessed were far deeper than those of the Dragon Emperor.
She was intimately aware of the staggering might held by the Savior, the one who had once turned back the tide of fate alone...
And had successfully forced the Demon Abyss into a seal.
Even if he was currently far from his peak state, how could such a figure fall so pathetically?
"Is your master truly dead?"
Her voice was like a calm breeze, ethereal and devoid of feeling, as she posed the question once more.
Yet, this simple repetition acted like a pebble dropped into a stagnant pond, causing a faint ripple to disturb the deathly stillness of Liu Li’s heart.
Startled, Liu Li snapped her head up, her gaze trembling with shock.
This Emperor-level Fierce Beast was a powerhouse who stood on equal footing with the Demon God...
Why was she being so persistent with this inquiry?
Could it be... that she was aware of something hidden?
Was there a chance that the master...
A thought so daring it seemed impossible suddenly flooded her consciousness!
Wait!
A sudden realization hit her, causing her spirit to surge with renewed energy!
Her eyes darted around frantically, scanning every corner of the battlefield with desperate intensity!
Where had Sally gone?!
The young cat girl who had been standing beside the master—the one who commanded the Power of Time—where was she?!
Why had she vanished from sight since the incident?!
Beside her, Vera also snapped out of her stupor. She immediately projected her Spiritual Power, conducting a meticulous search of the entire area.
There was nothing!
Sally’s presence had been completely erased, as if she had simply dissolved into the air!
"Sally... has vanished?"
The two girls locked eyes, sharing a look of mutual bewilderment...
Followed by a sudden, frantic surge of hope!
They remembered vividly that just before the master’s accident, Sally was right at his side!
The chaos that followed happened in a flash, and they had been blinded by their own sorrow...
But looking back now, Sally’s disappearance was far too suspicious!
Furthermore, there was the earlier reaction of the Demon God Abyss—his furious rage, as if he had been tricked...
A wild, almost reckless theory began to boil over in their hearts!
Could it be...
That the master hadn't actually perished?!
Was it possible that at the critical moment, Sally had utilized the Time Law to rescue him?!
There was no proof for this idea; it was born entirely of their own instincts.
But for Liu Li and Vera, who were sinking into an ocean of despair, it was the only lifebuoy they could grab onto!
Without a moment's hesitation, they chose to cling to this theory as if it were the absolute truth!
Yes!
It must be so! There was no way the master was dead!
Sally must have transported him to a secure, hidden location!
He would surely come back!
This realization was like a shot of adrenaline to the hearts of the two Guardian Beasts, pulling them back from the edge of total exhaustion!
The hollow, lifeless look in their eyes vanished, replaced by a burning fire of hope!
If the master was still alive, then their current duty...
Was to safeguard everything he held dear at any cost until his return!
Controlling their internal fervor, they turned toward the nearby Phoenix Ni and offered a profound, respectful bow:
"We thank you, my lady, for our lives! We shall never forget this benevolence!"
Their gratitude was sincere.
It wasn't merely due to her overwhelming power.
It was because she had repelled the Demon God when all was lost, saving the Human Race.
And more importantly, she had led them to the truth regarding their master’s survival.
Phoenix Ni, however, gave no sign of acknowledging their thanks, treating her actions as if they were of no consequence.
Her golden pupils drifted over the ruined Human Race city below. With a slight shimmer of her form, she vanished instantly from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, she reappeared atop the highest spire in the heart of the city, looking as though she had always been there.
Only a cold, distant sentence echoed through the heavens.
"Should the Demon God return, I shall step in."
"However, if it is merely Totem-level Demon Race members who arrive, you must deal with them yourselves."
"From this day forth, I shall reside within this Human Race city. Do not disturb my peace without cause."
Seeing Phoenix Ni enter the walls, Bai Li turned to cast a sharp glare at Long Zhenguo and his companions.
Then, transforming into a beam of white light, she followed Phoenix Ni’s path and disappeared into the city’s interior.
High above, Long Zhenguo, Verocan, Wei Yuan, and the others stood in stunned silence, unable to believe their luck.
A cataclysmic event that threatened to wipe out the Human Race had...
Been resolved just like that?
An Emperor-level Fierce Beast had actually decided to act as a guardian for their city?
The sequence of events was so rapid and surreal that they felt as though they were trapped in a dream.
Regardless of the strangeness, the immediate threat had passed!
The Human Race had earned a vital chance to recover!
They quickly flew toward the location of Liu Li and Vera, their expressions filled with urgent concern.
Seeing them approach, the Snow Woman stepped forward to block their path, shielding the weakened Liu Li and Vera.
She met Long Zhenguo’s gaze calmly, her voice ringing out clearly:
"Everyone! Liu Li and Vera have suffered grave injuries and their essence is nearly spent. I must begin their treatment at once; we cannot afford any delay!"
"Save your questions until I have stabilized their condition!"
She paused for a brief moment, her icy-blue eyes scanning the crowd.
Then, with a voice full of authority, she continued:
"However, there is one thing I can confirm for you all right now..."
"Lord Gu Xing has not fallen! He has merely departed for a short time!"
"I am certain he will return before long!"
This was the information Liu Li and Vera had whispered to her just moments before.
At a time when the Human Race’s spirit was crushed and they were desperate for a sign, she did not hesitate to make the announcement!
As expected!
The moment those words were spoken, the crowd erupted in shock!
The shadows of despair on the faces of Long Zhenguo, Verocan, Wei Yuan, and Lei Zhan were instantly swept away, replaced by a brilliant light of hope!
As long as Gu Xing lived, the Human Race still had its pillar of strength and its greatest hope!
"Good! Good! That is truly wonderful!"
Long Zhenguo shouted the word "good" three times in his excitement, immediately barking out orders:
"Snow Woman, whatever medicinal herbs or resources you require, just name them!"
"I will tap into the entirety of the Human Race’s reserves immediately. No matter the price, we must heal them as fast as possible!"
"They must be restored to their peak before Gu Xing returns!"
