Chapter 1520 Return


    Lilly found herself back at the orphanage once again.


    Her tiny figure appeared lonely and fragile as she huddled in a corner on the steps.


    The iron gate that kept her confined stood before her like an imposing warning. Meanwhile, the tree


    had shed all its leaves in preparation for winter, leaving its branches bare.


    Lilly hugged herself tightly in response to the chill as she buried her face in her arm.


    "Grandma... I''m so cold. I''m starving." Lilly sobbed. "What do I have to do to leave this ce?"


    …


    The Test of Thunder had destroyed the small courtyard where Elder McCarthy lived in the Nether.


    The test had sted a massive pit into the ground. Fortune paid no attention to the crater as he cried


    beside Lisa''s unmoving body.


    Lisa was barely clinging to life as her weary eyes stared nkly at the sky.


    She would never forget the scene she had just witnessed. It was as if the Test of the Nine Heavens


    Thunder had descended as the shadow of the legendary Sea-Wyvern, stretching for thousands of


    miles, had rushed into Lilly''s body.


    The ground had exploded while Ivan held Lilly tightly.


    Unfortunately, even though he could protect her from the thunder, he couldn''t defend her against the


    countless phantom beasts.


    Ivan''s face was covered in blood toward the end. His arms and back had been shredded by their


    unforgiving ws. Frankly, he was drenched in blood.


    "Lilly! Lilly!" Ivan called out her name softly. s, Lilly kept her eyes closed and wouldn''t wake up.


    Elder hurried over and found Ivan and Lilly in the pit. He hastily removed the rubble from Ivan''s body.


    "What''s wrong with Lilly?!"


    Ivan was in agony as he murmured, "I don''t know..."


    "Well, we should get out of here before doing anything else!"


    Elder led a few people away and finally settled in a n member''s house.


    Elder examined Lilly carefully but couldn''t figure out what had happened.


    "Her condition is very simr to something the witch n tends to experience. It looks like her soul has


    left her body."


    Elder frowned as he continued sternly, "Although we''re technically immortal, we still die. Once the time


    Ivan stared at Lilly.


    He examined her closely with his spiritual consciousness and denied Elder''s diagnosis, saying, "Her


    soul is still there."


    It didn''t seem like it had left her body.


    Instead, it seemed to have been sealed.


    Someone has used all the souls of the beasts in the Nether to seal her soul.


    Ivan raised his head to look at the gray sky outside the window. It seemed utterly calm at the moment.


    It was as if it hadn''t been raining thunder earlier.


    "Despicable!" He gritted his teeth.


    Fortune asked fearfully, "What should we do now?"


    Lilly was gone!


    He couldn''t help another round of wails.


    Lucky still hadn''t recovered from the shock. The heavenly thunder that had struck them was just too


    terrifying!


    To make matters worse, some members of the witch tribe were starting to second-guess their decision


    to allow Lisa to stay. Even though Lisa was a descendant of the witch tribe, she had caused a great


    deal of trouble after her return.


    They wanted to drive her away lest more misfortune befall them. Fortunately, some descendants of the


    witch tribe held opposing views. As a result, she managed to stay.


    Duncan trembled as he tried to piece Lisa''s body together. He stammered, "Can she still survive after


    being shattered into so many pieces?"


    Asher scolded him in a low growl, "Are you stupid? We aren''t humans in the first ce."


    Humans would definitely die if they were struck by lightning.


    Duncan said, "Still, she fractured into so many fragments."


    Only one of Lisa''s upper arms had remained intact after that terrifying ordeal. Plus, everything below


    her elbow had been severed.


    Her other arm had been blown apart.


    Both her feet were a bloody mess. So, it took them a long time to piece her back together.


    Her body was in a far worse condition than Ivan''s. She was barely clinging to life. They could barely


    hear her breathing.


    "I''ll take Lilly home," Ivan said as he picked her up. He gritted his teeth in resentment as he hissed,


    "We shouldn''t havee to the Nether."


    The ck hole shouldn''t have appeared in the Human Realm. Yet, it did.


    After that entire debacle, it was clear that Lisa''s time hadn''te. Instead, it was simply a trap to lure


    Lilly over.


    Nheless, he knew that no one was to me for Lilly''s condition. It was a fact that Lisa''s time was


    right around the corner. So, she did have to make a trip to the Nether soon. Besides, she had indeed


    broken through the firstyer and would face cmity within these few days.


    Although they had noticed that the Test of Thunder was acting rather abnormally, they had brushed it


    off, thinking, What if it''s acting this way because Lisa has fully recovered and her strength has reached


    its peak?


    Therefore, they neglected this ring loophole. It was a fact that the stronger the individual, the more


    powerful the Test of Thunder they had to face. Moreover, they were in the Nether. None of them had


    any idea what the Test of Thunder in the Nether was like. It was impossible topare it with the Test


    of Thunder that Lilly had passed in the underworld.


    What a well-calcted n!


    "We can''t leave." Elder stopped Ivan. "We have to pass the ck hole if we want to journey home. Can


    she afford to pass through that turbulent journey safely?"


    They couldn''t deny the fact that a massive incident had urred in the Nether even though Radley


    was around. What if a trap was waiting for them in the unknown ck hole?!


    Ivan was caught between a rock and a hard ce.


    In the end, he could only stay in the Nether as he didn''t want to jeopardize Lilly''s safety.


    Thus, he sent Radley to find ke.


    ke would naturally seek out Earth Goddess, Emperor Eastmount, and King Earthid.


    It seemed that the war, which had been on the horizon, hade to their doorstep early.


    …


    "Lilly! Lilly?" A voice called out in her ear once again.


    Lilly slowly opened her eyes.


    She didn''t know who was calling out to her. Nheless, she had be very familiar with those


    unfamiliar voices.


    Initially, it was merely a voice of a young man. After a while, it was followed by a few more. However,


    there was no denying the chime-like quality of their young voices.


    There were also several female voices calling her name.


    Lilly''s head was throbbing. She could sense that she had forgotten some people. s, she couldn''t


    remember who they were at all.


    Even the faces of the Crawford family were gradually fading from her memory.


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    "No... This won''t do."


    The Crawford family, who had their roots in South City, had returned to Clodston after she discovered


    Polly''s weakness.


    She had to go to Clodston! She needed to find the Crawford family!
