Chapter 1457 “Dragony’s Father (1)”

From out of the blue, a crisp sound rang out from the study structure. It’s a clear sound that echoed across the environment.
Mo Li Shang was the first to react here and he could see the cause of that sound. Right in front of his eye was a small tiny crack along the stone surface. Though it’s hardly worthy to be called a crack, but it’s more than enough to make him gawk.
How can it be……
That monument clearly said that only a Demi Divine Lord can break it. Yan Yan is only at the High Divine level, how did she manage to make a crack on it?
For a while, the look self-doubt was all that was plastered along the young man’s face. He’s obviously having trouble believing his own eyes despite reality being in front of himself.
Bai Yan on the other hand didn’t let up though. She’s unimpressed and continued to barrage the monument further and at a increasing ferocity, until…
Boom!
Like a rocket making impact on its target, the structure suddenly exploded under the final punch from the woman’s fist. She’s expended after this achievement. Collapsing backwards like a wilting flower, Bai Yan’s condition wasn’t any better than the very thing she destroyed at this moment.
“Mother!” Bai Xiachen cried out and dashed over to catch the falling body. The child wanted to do something to help elevate that pale complexion, but all he managed was a reckless frolicking of his arms in the air like a clueless dote that he was in these situations. Exactly like his old man….
“Mother… Does it hurt? It’s my fault, I couldn’t help you.”
In the steambun’s view, he’s a man of the family and should be the one carrying the weight of any problem. It didn’t help his consciousness either when he saw those messed up fingers of Bai Yan’s.
“I’m fine…” She forcibly pulls herself back up from the ground and scanned the area for change, “The monument is broken, why are we still stuck here?”
“Yan Yan,” Mo Li Shang runs forward and picks up a yellow scroll from the spot where the rubble was, “this appeared after the stones shattered. I believe there’s a clue in it.”
Taking it over without a second of delay, Bai Yan quickly opened it and red the content to her own surprise and frown.
“If the monument is broken by a Demi Divine Lord then one shall stay forever. If broken by one not of thee, they shall stand after the break.”
By now Bai Xiachen had also gotten a look at the scroll by gleaming up from the side. Cringing up his face in confusion: “What does that mean Mother? What is this stand after break?”
The woman didn’t answer her boy’s question though, only tightly clenching onto the scroll and making a deep frown.
“Xiachen,” Mo Li Shang steps in to explain, “I speculate the meaning is that the stone monument can easily be broken by a Demi Divine Lord’s power, however, it also means they will be forever trapped here if one did so. Respectively, those that are beneath said level like your mother may not have an easy time breaking the monument, but it’s possible and it’s the key to our escape from this place.”
This time the party has gambled it right and its also due to Bai Yan’s love for Di Cang. If not for that powerful emotion, they might’ve really stayed to do as the words said. By then they really would’ve been trapped for good.
