Yun Bai’s words left Third Madam Yun deeply mortified.
A great ROAR sounded! The earth trembled and the sea churned.
Old Island Master Yun couldn’t help but close his eyes. He faced his demise calmly, for he had long known this day would co, hadn’t he?
Yun Cang and Yun Kuo also wore solemn expressions, their faces filled with the resolve of those facing death.
The people on Yunzhou Island were terrified. Each one wondered if an earth-shaking calamity was striking, one that would bring them a disastrous fate.
They chattered worriedly.
"Are we dood? Are we going to die?"
"It shouldn’t be! Wasn’t it said that after the Fourth Level of the Array of Heaven was broken, our Yunzhou Island would connect to the thirteen islands overseas? Why do I have such a terrible feeling now?"
"Exactly! I also feel as if the end is near. What about you? What are you feeling?"
The people of Yunzhou Island began to ask one another.
Those in the know—Yun Kuo, Yun Cang, and Old Island Master Yun—looked silently up at the sky. So this is the will of Heaven, they thought. Then, they silently closed their eyes, quietly awaiting death.
"Great-Grandpa!"
Suddenly, they heard a familiar, childlike voice. Along with Suisui’s childlike voice ca a high-pitched dragon’s cry.
"ROAR—"
Everyone looked up in surprise. A gigantic Cyan Dragon was leaping up from the seabed, and two figures were seated upright on its back.
One large, one small.
The large one was Ji Youzhi.
And the small one was Xiaosuisui!
"Suisui!"
Yun Yi, Yun Kuo, and Yun Cang couldn’t help but exclaim in unison, their voices trembling with incredible excitent.
"Why are you still here?" Old Island Master Yun asked, his voice filled with excitent.
Logically, when the Dragon-Locking Array was broken, a teleportation passage should have appeared. Whoever broke the Dragon-Locking Array would have been randomly teleported away by it. But now...
"Go! You must leave! Quickly, get away from here!" Old Island Master Yun urgently waved his hands at them, shouting loudly for them to leave.
However, Xiaosuisui, unperturbed by his urgent shouts, didn’t take it seriously. Ji Youzhi couldn’t even hear what his maternal grandfather was saying.
The Cyan Dragon leaped entirely out of the sea, hovering in the air above the water’s surface.
At this mont, Yunzhou Island returned to tranquility.
"The earth has stopped moving," soone suddenly noticed.
"Yes! The earth has stopped moving! Does that an we aren’t going to die?"
"Right! Does this an our Yunzhou Island won’t suffer an earthquake, and we won’t be buried in the sea?"
The people’s questions, one after another, reached the ears of Yun Yi, Yun Cang, and Yun Kuo.
They too were now filled with doubt. This shouldn’t be happening! Things shouldn’t be like this!
But the reality was that Xiaosuisui and Ji Youzhi had not been teleported away, and the Fourth Level of the Array of Heaven—the Dragon-Locking Array—had indeed been broken.
A true Cyan Dragon floated in the sky.
What on earth was going on?
With puzzled thoughts, everyone stared intently at Xiaosuisui and Ji Youzhi, who leaped from the dragon’s back and landed before them.
Old Island Master Yun tremblingly asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Xiaosuisui blinked her eyes and asked with a smile, "Great-Grandpa, are you asking why we’re here? Or are you asking why Yunzhou Island still exists, even though the Fourth Level of the Array of Heaven has clearly been broken? Or perhaps, why all of you are still alive?"
Old Island Master Yun’s mouth twitched. Did she have to be so blunt?
"All of those! Logically..."
"Great-Grandpa! So mistakes cannot be made, because once committed, there’s no turning back. It was our good fortune this ti; after expending imnse effort, we managed to save everyone’s lives! But if the ones you threw into the Array of Heaven this ti hadn’t been and Seventh Uncle, but soone else, then right now, it wouldn’t be their lives at stake, but Yunzhou Island facing destruction."
As soon as Xiaosuisui finished speaking, the faces of everyone present turned pale.
This was especially true for the residents who had no cultivation and were timid. They had been worried sick before, and now, hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, their faces turned red, then white.
"What does she an? Is she saying we were originally supposed to die?"
So of the won who had been abducted and forced to be wives by the n of Yunzhou Island began to panic. Terrified, they huddled together.
They glared at Old Island Master Yun, Yun Cang, and Yun Kuo, their eyes filled with resentnt.
