Chapter Thirty-Four: The Fall of the Celestial Wolf

  Suddenly, Helian noticed that the originally dull and staring eyes of Tianlang seemed to have moved. Helian was overjoyed and hastily wiped his blurry eyes to take a closer look. Indeed, Tianlang's eyeballs were slowly rotating, and his scattered gaze had regained some luster, although he was still very weak, but much better than before.

  Watching Helian Nuoxin's ecstatic appearance, Helian Shang shook his head and struggled to get up and walk out of the cave. He knew that Tiang Lang was just a flash in the pan. Teng She's desperate blow had already shattered the vitality within Tiang Lang's body, and at this moment, even the healing sacred beast Jiubao Xuanwu couldn't save her.

  He didn't understand whether he was leaving to give Helian and Tianlang space or avoiding something... He just felt that his heart, which had been slowly melted by Helian, was now aching as if it was about to crack.

  With a surge of energy, Tiangong struggled to get up, but her weak body wouldn't allow it. After several attempts, she finally gave up. Seeing this, Helianuo hastily approached and gently lifted Tiangong's head, slowly placing it in his own lap. Even if he wasn't clear-headed at the moment, he was already aware that Tiangong's condition wasn't improving, but rather a sign of impending death. Thinking about the past nine years, Helianuo's tears fell heavily onto Tiangong's blood-soaked body.

  Suddenly, a sigh from Gong Sunjan echoed in Helian's mind. Helian inserted his divine consciousness into his mind and found that Gong Sunjan was closing his eyes slightly, with both hands swiftly forming a series of mysterious hand seals. After a moment, the residual shadow of the hand seals slowly condensed into a golden light. Gong Sunjan suddenly opened his eyes and fiercely struck the hand seal onto Tianlang's forehead.

  He looked at Helian's puzzled eyes and Gong Sun Jian let out a sigh: "Hurry up, I've already implanted the long-lost secret technique of the continent, Wan Soul Seal, in Tianlang's body. This seal can temporarily give Tianlang the ability to communicate with humans. That's all I can do!", after saying that, he slowly disappeared from sight.

  He Lian'nuo gazed gratefully at Gong Sunjian's back for a moment, then lowered her head again. She saw that the Tianlang in her arms slowly closed its eyes, but its body began to shake violently. Suddenly, the Tianlang shook violently and emitted a soft silver glow from its body. As the glow spread, the wounds on the Tianlang healed at a visible rate, and even the spirit in its eyes became much more vigorous.

  The temporarily recovered Tianlang turned his head to look at the little wolf that was still unconscious in the cave, let out a long sigh, and then looked towards Helianuo who was crying with big tears. He spoke in human language: "Child, don't cry. I remember that you humans have an ancient saying 'life and death are each determined by heaven'. Perhaps this is my fate. I already know that there is a powerful cultivator of unknown depth protecting you by your side. If it weren't for his Wan Soul Seal, perhaps all the words in my belly would go with me to my death. Please thank him for me. With him by your side, I can rest at ease and leave!"

  Kerlin had long been unable to make a sound, and he was too heartless to explain to Tianlang that the mysterious strong man was not by his side, but in his body. Now Kerlin's mind could no longer hold any information except for Tianlang.

  "I'm sure you're curious about why I, Tian Lang, and Xiao Lang are hiding in this forest. The truth is that my clan, the Tian Lang, has been living in seclusion on Silver Moon Mountain for generations. No one is allowed to leave the mountain unless it's an emergency. But I was just a low-ranking wolf who fell in love with the son of our tribe's leader. Our clan's hierarchy is very strict, and when the leader found out about us, he banished me from the mountain and only confined his own son. That should have been the end of it, but fate had other plans. After I left the mountain, I discovered that I was pregnant with the leader's grandson. However, our clan's tradition requires that a pregnant wolf drink sacred water to ensure the child's survival. As an outcast, I couldn't access this water. But then I heard about the magical spring in the Teng Snake's territory, which has similar properties to our sacred water. Desperate to save my child, I used a forbidden technique to temporarily boost my strength and snuck into the Teng Snake's territory to obtain the water. Although I succeeded, I also incurred the wrath of the Teng Snake clan. After giving birth to Xiao Lang, I hid in this forest, but now the Teng Snake has found me. It's only fitting that I pay for my past actions with my life. However, there are a few things that weigh on my mind, and I want to entrust them to you. You must promise me that you'll take care of them." Tian Lang finished speaking and looked at Helian No with expectation, who nodded heavily as tears soaked his clothes.

  Tian Lang's eyes saw He Lian Nu accept the task, and he smiled with relief. Then he said: "The first thing is Xiao Lang, it has always been a member of the Tian Lang tribe, but because of me, it can't return to its ancestral land. One day when you have the ability, you must bring Xiao Lang back to Yin Yue Mountain and let it recognize its ancestors!" After finishing speaking, he looked at He Lian Nu inquiringly. He Lian Nu finally opened his mouth, his lips still bleeding from biting his teeth too hard, but he seemed to not feel any pain. Word by word, he said to Tian Lang: "Don't worry, Xiao Lang is like my brother. One day, I will not only bring Xiao Lang to recognize its ancestors, but also build a monument for you on Yin Yue Mountain to repay the hardships and homesickness you have endured!"

  Tian Lang heard this and shook his head without confirming or denying: "This second matter, is that I die at the hands of Teng Snake today, but you must never seek revenge from them in the future. I know your temperament is fiery, and you have feelings and righteousness towards me, but the Teng Snake clan's power is too strong, it's not something you can contend with. Promise me, no matter when, do not be an enemy of the Teng Snake, do not avenge me!"

  "Alright, I agree. I won't be an enemy of the Teng Snake clan and I won't avenge you!" Helian Nuo said with his mouth, but his fists were tightly clenched, his fingers turning white from excessive force, clearly showing that he was not willing to accept this request from Tian Lang.

  "This third matter, however, concerns your Huren clan. Your Huren clan has been on good terms with my Tianlang since ancient times, but only in the past hundred years have you entered the secular world and gradually drifted apart. However, the friendship of thousands of years is still there, I suppose you also know that the Tianlang mark on your chest is incomplete, and it can only be completed in our Silver Moon Mountain. The Tianlang mark can only unleash all your potential, originally I wanted to wait until you were ten years old to take you back to Silver Moon Mountain once, to ask the clan leader to help you on behalf of the Huren clan's face, but now it seems that it is not possible, and we will have to wait until you have the ability to go to Silver Moon Mountain yourself, I don't know what year or month that will be. Never mind, today I will fulfill your wish, with my wolf soul, complete your Tianlang mark!"

  No sooner had he finished speaking than the Sky Wolf suddenly exerted its strength and crashed into Helian's chest. Helian only felt a surge of great force coming at him, and in an instant, he lost consciousness.

  "Arno, remember your promise to me, take care of Little Wolf, and take care of yourself!"

  In a daze, Helianuo seemed to have returned to the night nine years ago when he was hunted by Tianfeng. The same moonlit night, the same chilliness, and the same distant howl of a beast. Helianuo looked up, under the moonlight, a silver giant wolf was howling at the moon...

  In the daze, two scorching tears streaked across her face, one soul disappeared, and after a while, another soul gradually merged into its breath. The two souls slowly merged into one, the fusion was seamless, as if these two souls existed just for today's encounter.

  The soul power inside Helian's body was driven by the two souls, rapidly circulating throughout his entire body, muscles and meridians, the soul power recklessly impacting everything inside Helian's body. Gradually, this tyrannical soul power occupied Helian's five organs and six viscera, occupying Helian's soul, gradually turning all of this into a vessel that could contain soul power...

  Outside the Tianlang Cave, He Lianchuang seemed to have sensed something and slowly returned while leaning against the wall. As soon as he entered the cave, He Lianchuang was stabbed by a fierce silver light that made his eyes ache. He Lianchuang hurriedly covered his eyes with his hand and carefully looked at the silver light through his clothes...

  Only to see the body of Tianlang constantly emitting a silver glow, the light gradually transformed into an illusory image of Tianlang, slowly drilling into Helian's unconscious body on the ground. As the light separated from him, Tianlang became increasingly illusory, and finally, his entire body had turned into a silver glow. The illusory Tianlang, however, became more real, with wolf howls echoing incessantly within the Tianlang cave. Helian's clothes had long been eroded by the silver light, leaving nothing behind. His body convulsed constantly as the illusory Tianlang invaded him, his expression extremely painful. His tightly closed eyes remained unable to open.

  Finally, that day Wolf Virtual Shadow completely entered Helian's body. Helian was shocked to see the incomplete Heavenly Wolf Seal on his chest suddenly changing. A bright and vivid full moon emerged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in an instant, a pattern of Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon appeared on Helian's chest!

  He Lian Shang closed his eyes tightly again, and the tears that had fallen several times today flowed out once more. He knew, Tian Lang was gone, this time, he was really gone...

  This world has lost a silver figure who used to howl at the moon, but gained two children who miss her dearly.

  Kerlan and Xiao Lang.

  There is also He Lian's injury...
