Su Ming'an pulled Xiber, rushing her towards the periphery.
The heavy toxic rain, the low prayers of people, Fengchang wielding the Black Blade... he left them all behind. He stepped through the erected barrier, leaped over the screaming crowd, running from the sky to the ground, with Xiber whom he pulled along feeling as light as a piece of paper.
She seemed to be unable to walk anymore, her legs and feet becoming increasingly slender, even revealing a stretch of ghastly white bone.
The boundless plain under the rain, from afar, looked like an endless white canvas.
Just like the sea of flames five years ago, he carried her on his back as she couldn't walk any longer.
"...Don't sleep," he said.
He was going to the original log cabin, to find Yuan Shuangshuang who should already be dead, to obtain the Authority of the Black Raven, which represented a curse and might solve Xiber's condition.
