Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Knight in Shining Armor (I)

Eren walked down the mountain, his hands were stained in blood that was still fresh. Next to him was Yelen who was looking at him strangely.

Felona was sent back to the world of Spirits as she had already helped Eren enough. As for Fey's mother, she was nowhere to be seen anymore.

"Did you think this through?" Yelen asked Eren.

Eren didn't answer. He simply nodded, his gaze being firm.

He had already changed his clothes to the clothes of the Great Demon Sect Elder but those clothes were also stained in blood that felt like his own blood.

His entire body was filled with wounds, some of those wounds being fresh as he didn't even try to heal them. There was even a scar on the right side of his face.

With a healing pill, it could easily be healed but he didn't do that either. He went through with the constant pain where it felt like thousands of ants were biting his face.

It was the first time he had been hurt like this in the face, which made this experience completely new.

Half an hour passed and Eren kept staggering down the mountain as if he was running from something but didn't have the strength to properly run. Occasionally, he hit a few trees, as if he was actually blind.

A few minutes passed since he hit the last tree 'helplessly', when he heard a small noise coming from before him.

He didn't look down as he already knew who it was. The woman he had been carrying in his arms had started waking up.

Feng Yu opened his eyes, feeling a little dizziness. The moment she looked ahead, she noticed that she was being carried by a person in his arms.

She could clearly see the scars on his face and the stench of blood that was coming from him as if he had been through a really dangerous battle where he barely survived.

She wondered which other senses he had lost. But why was she being carried by him? Why was he hurt? She was confused.

As she thought about it, some memories started returning. She remembered that she was sitting in her palace, thinking about the Western Continent and what trick the Holy Priestess could have been planning.

At that time, someone appeared in her palace. She didn't know which treasure that person used to enter her palace without being detected by her guards.

It didn't matter how that person entered. Intrusion in her palace was forbidden, and anyone who tried it was only granted death.

As she was about to kill him, the person told her that he was here to help her. He told her that he knew the whereabouts of the person who killed her father.

He told her that the person was also his enemy so he wanted to help her kill him. Feng Yu was momentarily hesitant in killing the person.

She had been looking for the killer of her father for a long time, and now an opportunity presented itself. She didn't realize that it was all a trap. Before she realized the reality, everything had already happened.

The next thing she remembered, she was here. She was in Eren's arms. Everything in between was a mess.

Even with his weakened body, Eren carried her as blood trickled down from his wounds.

She thought about letting Eren know that she was already awake but before she could do that, heavy winds started playing.

A woman appeared in the distance, surrounded by gusts of wind.

"Did you think you could take her away?!" the woman, whose face was covered by a black mask, said.

Although Feng Yu couldn't see that woman's face, it was clear that she was from the Northern Continent. It was also the woman she had seen accompanying the man who tricked her.

"You are barely alive. Why are you going so far to protect her? Just return her to us and we might let you live!" the woman arrogantly said.
