"Your people?". The look on the old man"s face did not change, seriously sat still, frowned a little bit, curiously looked at s.h.i.+ Yan. "Other people come here with you?".
s.h.i.+ Yan shook his head. "Not with me, but I know them. Actually, they are my enemies, chasing me from the outside to here. Um, I"m their target."
"Is your hatred big?". Cu Bi was curious. "Hundreds of warriors at the same stage was running after you to kill you. After all, what did you do?"
s.h.i.+ Yan smiled miserably: "Nothing…". No matter what other people"s target is, when arriving Demonic Sound Clan"s area, everyone has to act moderately.
The old man frowned and said: "Yi Feng, you go outside to arrest them, um, bring some people with you, don"t let them escape".
A skinny guy at the Nirvana stage nodded his head, obeyed his orders and quickly left.
"OK, we continued what we have said". The old man stolidly took one sip of tea. "The outside, what is the situation now? What is your area"s name? Is there anything special there?"
"The outside?"
"Uh".
"I came here from the Endless Sea through the heaven gate of the Sky Sea area. In the Endless Sea, there are different forces of mankind warriors, competing to dominate the resourceful area". s.h.i.+ Yan was thinking for a while, explained a little what he knew about the Endless Sea to the old man of the Demonic Sound Clan.
The old man listened to s.h.i.+ Yan saying nothing.
"Father, The Endless Sea seemed not to be our ancient land?". Cu Bi thought for a while and could not help but say.
"Yeah, it is not our ancient land. But don"t worry, we only need to go to the outside, we will definitely find our ancient land". The old man nodded his head. "Those mankind warriors can come here, it means the Control Style has recently been eased, uh, it"s time to talk to the Wings race."
"The Wings Race always finds a way to leave, but they are not friendly with us. Recently, they have attacked us. Father, you really want to contact with the Wings Race?". Cu Bi seemed not to agree with him. "The Wings Race has the wicked intention, they want to go and conquer the outside. Once they leave here, it would not be a good thing for the outside".
"After a few years of recuperating, the Wings Race"s strength has improved a lot. Previously, because we cooperated with the Wings Race, the two clans have been deported here. I know the Wings Race"s bad ambition, but with the Demonic Sound Clan"s ability alone, I am afraid we cannot leave here". The old man convinced the girl. "Only if the two clans cooperate, we can get out of here. If not, we may be trapped here forever. Don"t worry, before talking to the Wings Race, I will ask other leaders for more information. If everything is fine, I will contact the Wings Race".
s.h.i.+ Yan kept silent but was really surprised.
According to the conversation between the old man and the girl named Cu Bi, he knew besides the Demonic Sound Clan, there was also another clan named the Wings Race. These two big clans might be from the Neolithic Age, but he did not know what was the reason they had been deported and confined here.
The Demonic Sound Clan and the Wings Race should belong to the Grace Mainland previously. Moreover, these two clans should have powerful strength. Although they had been deported here for many years, they still had the intention of rebelling to go back to the Grace Mainland, their ancient land.
The Control Style in the soul consciousness has been deactivated, s.h.i.+ Yan inaudibly observed, realized that inside the royal courtroom, there were more than ten warriors at the Nirvana stage and the heaven level stage, the old man also had the G.o.d Realm cultivation base.
The old man seemed to be one of the leaders of the Demonic Sound Clan. According to him, there were also other leaders. If they also had the same cultivation base like him, Demonic Sound Clan" strength could easily win over any forces of the Endless Sea.
The Demonic Sound Clan was fearful already, but the Demonic Sound Clan"s people were very precautious talking about the Wings Race. The Wings Race" strength seemed to be even stronger than the Demonic Sound Clan"s.
If it was the truth, once the Demonic Sound Clan and the Wings Race cooperated escaping this place, going to the Endless Sea, we did not know what problem they would bring to the Endless Sea.
"Do you want to go back to the Grace Mainland?". Different senses kept coming up in his mind, s.h.i.+ Yan suddenly asked.
"It"s right. We don"t really want to live here. We hope to go back to our native land. Almost ten thousand years, we want to know how our native land looks like, we don"t originally belong to this place". Cu Bi"s eyes were clear and anxious. "Native land, we miss our native land, there were the sun, the moon, and the stars, big seas, the scenes that we have never seen before".
"The Endless Sea is not peaceful at this time. It may be not a good time to go back there now". s.h.i.+ Yan lowered his voice, said
"Say more?". The old man said seriously.
"Because devil men of the Fourth Devil Valley and ghost men of Netherworld may go to the Endless Sea. Once they arrive the Endless Sea, it should be a disaster for all the clans living there. If you go back this time, you can face devil men and ghost men". Thinking for a while, s.h.i.+ Yan decided to tell them about the current situation. He did not know anything about either the Demonic Sound Clan and the Wings Race or these two clans going back to the Endless Sea was a good or bad thing for the Endless Sea. He talked about devil man and ghost man to see their att.i.tude.
"Devil men and ghost men…".
When the old man heard about the two alien ethnic groups, his face changed extremely strange, suddenly said after a while: "No worries, we only want to go back to our native land, we will not stay in the Endless Sea for long, will not get into trouble with them".
"Devil men and ghost men, Father, where are these two alien ethnic groups" origin?" Cu Bi curiously asked.
"I will tell you later". The old man shook his head, explained nothing more, but his ashy-gray eyes flared up a complicated light, possibly because of devil men and ghost men. There seemed also a subtle smile at the corners of his mouth, his face looked very strange.
He did not actively ask, s.h.i.+ Yan also kept silent, secretly released the G.o.d consciousness to survey outside, trying to leave the royal courtroom.
However, the stone in this room seemed to have the power to prevent his G.o.d consciousness from going through. When the G.o.d consciousness flew out, it was blocked by a strong prevention.
s.h.i.+ Yan reluctantly gave up, quietly looked at the old man.
After a while, Yi Feng who had left recently came back, after kowtowing, respectfully said: "Great Master, we were late just a bit. The human outer warriors were arrested by Ya Ji".
"Ya Ji". The old man raised his eyebrows, calmly said: "I am afraid it is finished for those people. Ya Ji" son was slaughtered by some human warriors who presumed to come here a few years ago. Although he tortured those guys for a long time, his animosity against human warriors still lasted, this time he arrested many warriors, it may be enough for him to play for long".
s.h.i.+ Yan"s eyes flared up and down immediately.
"You should be very happy because your fellows were arrested by Ya Ji and you are here." He coldly looked at s.h.i.+ Yan. "Our prejudice towards you is not as strong as Ya Ji"s. You will not be treated badly, as long as you honestly cooperate with me. I not only let you free but also give you some things that cannot be found from the outside".
"I will do my best". s.h.i.+ Yan smiled. "I don"t want to die, only want to live well. But my strength is limited, don"t know if I can really help you or not".
"In your body, there is a strong movement of the burning fire, can you use the burning fire power?". The old man suddenly said.
"My body used to be trained by the burning fire, that is how I have the energy of the burning fire. I think I can use a part of the burning fire power, but may not much as what you expect".
"Cu Bi, you and he go to the Sound Beast Mountain to see with his burning fire power in his body, you can catch more heads of sound beasts or not". After thinking for a while, the old man looked at his daughter, a.s.signed. "Recently, Ka Ba"s people often dominated all activities in the Sound Beast Mountain, sound beasts did not risk to appear. Don"t know if we can get more of them".
Cu Bi stood beside the old man mumbling, slowly moved towards s.h.i.+ Yan, coldly glanced at him and said: "Outsider, follow me. If you can help me catch sound beasts" heads, maybe I will feel better and let you free".
s.h.i.+ Yan frowned, being watched by the old man, said nothing, followed Cu Bi with his head bowed.
Crossing a very long corridor, s.h.i.+ Yan finally saw the bright sky.
He was on a rock bank of a big architectural building almost five hundred meters high. In his view, there were many ancient stone structures a few tens meters high nearby. Further were another two mighty ancient structures five hundred meters high like immeasurably high mountains in the sky, magnificent and splendid, which stirred our eyesight.
This was an ancient stone building.
The whole structures, the lowest one was tens of meters high, covered thousands of square meters; the biggest one was similar to the one he was standing at, hundreds meter high and covered about tens of thousands square meters. It was even bigger the biggest one he had seen on the outside. He did not know how it had been built.
In this Giant Stone Ancient City, every person in the Demonic Sound Clan looked pale with yin spirits, unusual physical strength. They seemed very light, not to be restricted by warriors who were at the ground level stage and or the Nirvana stage. They could also freely hover around in the city. It was strange.
The whole Ancient City was surrounded by white-gray fog which might be some control style and had the powerful energy to protect the City.
The world"s heavy spiritual air was overflowing at every corner. Although the world"s spiritual air here was not as good as the one in Mortality Island, it was still very good compared with other places of the Endless Sea, enough for warriors to use.
"s.h.i.+ Yan!". A low voice suddenly came from a distance, it was Cao Zhi Lan"s.
s.h.i.+ Yan"s face changed, looking at the direction where the voice came from. From far away, he saw a big wooden cage pulled up to the sky by some weird beasts" heads.
These beasts had small thin wings like a flesh layer, very strong yin power, similar to people of the Demonic Sound Clan.
The beasts spread the five or six-meter-wide wings like falcons, their whole body were turquoise and had moving lights.
The wooden cage pulled up by the beasts was fully covered by creepers on top. Those creepers were like spiritual snakes, wrapped the wooden cage, flared up a green light, created a miraculous constraint binding the wooden cage.
Inside the wooden cage, Cao Zhi Lan, Qu Yan Qing, Gu Ling Long, Pan Zhe and a number of warriors all were under the control style, like slaves confined in a cage. They looked sully, gloomy, seemed to be tortured, honestly obedient.
On the beasts, there were some guys with gloomy pale faces, wearing dark green armors, gathering in the front discussing with low tones.
Cao Zhi Lan"s scream made some of the guys turned their heads glancing coldly at her. They saw her look towards s.h.i.+ Yan"s direction with a slight happiness.
Those guys riding the beasts pulled the wooden cage away, seemed to want to change the direction. Cao Zhi Lan"s special spiritual Martial soul which was not affected by the control style quickly realized living energy on s.h.i.+ Yan"s body the moment he had gone out of the architectural structure. She could not help but scream.
From one hundred meters away, s.h.i.+ Yan frowned, looking at Cao Zhi Lan, Pan Zhe, Qu Yan Qing confined like livestock, felt pity for them and signed.
Although Cao Zhi Lan and others were his opponents, they also came here from the outside, were captured like livestock and would be quickly tortured to dead. He could not feel good looking at them.
"Cu Bi, it is you who captured this human being?". A guy of the Demonic Sound Clan leading ahead suddenly signaled the beasts to stop, gently flew to this side, hovered in the air, coldly looked at s.h.i.+ Yan and said.
Cu Bi slightly frowned, calmly said: "Ya Ji, your movement is very fast, you could capture the outsiders just in a moment. Hum, if I knew there were more than one person, you would have not been able to reap such a big spoil".
The guy of the Demonic Sound Clan dragged a half-smile out of his lips, a peculiar smile: "I was lucky. Just went out a bit and detected these outsiders, easily captured them. Haha, there are some among them whose levels were not bad, but their souls are too weak compared to mine".
"Ah", Cu Bi quickly said: "The Demonic Sound Clan" soul has advantages from heaven. Those aliens obviously cannot compare to us. If you have already captured them, you should leave soon. Why do you need to waste your time with me?"
"How can talking to you is a waste of time?". Ya Ji smiled, seeing no reaction from Cu Bi, he pointed to s.h.i.+ Yan and said. "I am also interested in that guy. Cu Bi, give me a price, I will take him. What do you think?"
When Ya Ji was talking, there were peculiar eyes suddenly came to s.h.i.+ Yan.
A flow of miraculous soul, like a thin yarn of soul, explored and went into s.h.i.+ Yan"s head, intruded s.h.i.+ Yan"s sea of consciousness, took the hidden life in his mind.
s.h.i.+ Yan"s face changed terribly.
He was concentrating this power to resist that energy, suddenly there was another flow of soul like a wind zooming over, quickly covered his head.
Ya Ji"s soul power was wiped out in a blink, disappeared from his head without a trace.
"This guy belongs to me, without my consent, no one can touch his soul". Cu Bi"s clear but cold voice rose up, displeasingly stared at Ya Ji. "You can torture however you want with those in the cage, but you are not allowed to touch mine. If not, don"t blame me for treating you badly".
"I can bargain". Ya Ji smiled recklessly. "With a very reasonable price, you give me this guy, is it ok?"
"You have already captured many warriors, why do you still want him?". Cu Bi felt a bit strange listening to what he said. "You already had many, why him?"
"Haha, I myself see it"s useful". Ya Ji thought for a while and said. "Cu Bi, if you are interested in humankind warriors, we can exchange. Um, those warriors over there, except three ladies, anyone of the rest can be exchanged to you. Even two. What do you think?"
"Why must you have him?". Cu Bi was surprised, confusingly looked at Ya Ji, then at s.h.i.+ Yan. "Is he special?"
"Very special".
Ya Ji nodded his head. "So, do you want to exchange or not?"
"No!". Cu Bi snorted, thought a bit, grabbed s.h.i.+ Yan"s shoulder and suddenly flew away, then coldly said. "This guy is useful, I did not want to give him to you for now. Wait until I feel that he is not useful anymore, I might sell to you".
"Cu Bi, be careful, he is very dangerous!". Ya Ji reminded her from a distance.
"Dangerous?". Cu Bi contemptuously whispered a sentence, coldly glanced at s.h.i.+ Yan, continued: "You should better be honestly obedient. If not, I will make your soul disappear in a second. Maybe you don"t know, it is not difficult for Demonic Sound Clan to ruin your human kind".
"Yeah, I know your soul accomplishment went beyond the one of the human warriors". s.h.i.+ Yan"s face unchanged. "Your physical strength is very special, brain is also peculiar, very suitable for cultivating soul first. Um, your soul is very strong, can be compared with warriors at the Heaven level stage, but the body power is even much better than the Heaven level stage. You can use your strong soul to dominate, easily destroy my sea of consciousness. Is it so?".
s.h.i.+ Yan did not say anything from the beginning.
He was quietly observing for a while, realized that all people of the Demonic Sound Clan were very powerful.
In terms of cultivating the spiritual soul, people of the Demonic Sound Clan were much stronger than many humankind warriors.
Their knowledge about the spiritual soul was absolutely more profound than the humankind warriors.
However, was it because of special physical structures that the Demonic Sound Clan people"s bodies were very feeble.
Not mention about s.h.i.+ Yan"s body, their bodies were much weaker than those of the ordinary humankind warriors.
Not only this, the profound Qi in their bodies were also peculiar. The profound Qi did not concentrate in one place, it spread out everywhere in the body, very dispersive, the nerves and veins were also extremely weak and narrow, seemed impossible to receive too much profound Qi.
Quietly observing for a while, s.h.i.+ Yan realized the intensity of her spiritual soul reached to the Heaven level, her subtle body contained a lot of profound Qi, however, could not much more than his because of her feeble body and narrow veins. Her body strength might also be limited, if she did not rely on the spiritual soul from heaven, she might not be able to defeat even an ordinary ground level stage warrior.
Through the strength of the sea of consciousness, s.h.i.+ Yan gradually understood.
"You, you can see through many things in such a short time?". Cu Bi was terrified. A shocking look appeared on her face, she was staring at s.h.i.+ Yan carefully for a moment, said: "I should have used more soul control styles on you".
"Don"t, I am very trendy. I know your sense of spiritual soul was very strong. If I do something wrong, you can easily recognize it in this short distance. You can use your spiritual soul to kill me easily before I can do anything. Therefore, I will not do any stupid things, so you should not waste too much of your power. Don"t worry, I will do my best for you". s.h.i.+ Yan quickly shouted.
"You have such a sweet mouth". Cu Bi"s beautiful eyes stared at s.h.i.+ Yan for a while, firmly nodded her head. "You are very smart, smarter than many people of the Demonic Sound Clan. Moreover, you are only at the ground level stage but already possess the sea of consciousness, you are really good. You should have some secrets, if not Ya Ji should have not been interested in you like this".
Inhaling a deep breath, Cu Bi said: "Maybe, I should a.n.a.lyze your soul, seize everything inside your head. If so, I can know everything hidden, nothing you can hide, know all your secrets. Although this will get me seriously injured, I am really excited to do it".
s.h.i.+ Yan slightly s.h.i.+vered, his eyes flared up coldly, ready to risk his life.
"I already knew you are very cunning, hum, don"t think you can take anything from me. Right now, I just don"t want to kill you yet, if you dare to protest, you will know your consequence". Cu Bi"s face kept its strict countenance, there was a hesitating look on her face. "If you can help me catch the sound beasts at the fifth or sixth level, I will let you free. Otherwise, I will confine you, exchange you to Ya Ji".
"Sound beasts? Aren"t they the demon beasts?"
"Sound beasts are one kind of demon beasts. They only live in Sound Beast Mountain. It is very miasmatic there. Sound beasts are made from Yin. Their demon spirits are dark. They are very useful for us. If we have these demons while cultivating, it is extremely a fortunate. Sound Beast Mountain has "Ancient Thunder Formation", the ancient formation will project lightning, the strong sound beasts do not have any big problem with being hit by the lightning. The Demonic Sound Clan, on the other hand, was naturally afraid of lightning so we cannot go further inside the Sound Beast Mountain, only stay outside and catch the sound beasts that go out".
"With my help, how is it useful?"
"Sound beasts belong to yin, their soul is also special. It is not easy for the Demonic Sound Clan to use the advantage of the spiritual soul to deal with them. In order to catch them, we also need direct attacking weapons. But once the sound beasts cannot win, they will withdraw hiding inside the Sound Beast Mountain, then we cannot do anything. Sound beasts are afraid of the burning fire. If you can use the burning fire, it is easier to catch them. Of course, we should also see if your burning fire is effective or not, weak burning fire cannot affect the sound beasts".
"Ok, I understood. I will help you arrest the sound beasts, um, our deal is ten sound beasts of the fifth or sixth level, ok?
"If you can really help me capture ten sound beasts of the fifth or sixth level, I will let you free. If you can capture more, I can buy them with reasonable price. Um, demon spirits of sound beasts are very treasurable. You can use them to exchange any essential things you want".
"Can we exchange for slaves?"
"Anything".
"Good, maybe I will use some demon spirits of sound beasts to exchange for some female slaves".
s.h.i.+ Yan suddenly remembered Cao Zhi Lan, Gu Ling Long, Qu Yan Qing, three ladies were being confined by Ya Ji.
"Rotter". Cu Bi saw the l.u.s.t on s.h.i.+ Yan"s eyes, could not help but scold. "Humans, no one is good indeed! My father was right".
"The Demonic Sound Clan people have a strong prejudice against us".
"Humankind is blamable. If it was not because of you, we were not deported to this place. Hum, because of you, we all could not return to our native land, stay here forever where there is no sun, moon or stars". Cu Bi coldly said.
"So, why were your deported to this place? How could humankind do it if there was no reason?"
"Shut up!". Cu Bi jangled. Her beautiful face suddenly sharpened.
s.h.i.+ Yan surprised, said no more. He was afraid of Cu Bi not controlling herself and fighting with him.
Getting out of the Giant Stone Ancient City, crossing immensely opening forests, it had been long until a mighty, ten-thousand-meter high mountain struck his eyes.
The mighty giant mountain dominated the skyline, ma.s.ses of white clouds hovered in the mid of mountain flank. The mountain peak was straight up to the sky, each striking lightning like a giant dragon minced around the giant mountain, dazzling flash projected each strong electric current.
On the giant mountain, there were full of ancient trees, deep black abysses around the mountain cliffs. In those abysses, there were big beasts" figures. The beasts" loud howls could be heard from inside, those howls had a powerful energy that terrified people.
Hearing those howls, s.h.i.+ Yan"s sea of consciousness continued vibrating, the G.o.d consciousness was not stable.
"Sound beasts are made of gathering dark spirits. The soul is also very specific. Their howls can badly hurt ordinary warriors. You heard that howl but have not been much affected, you are not just an ordinary person indeed. Um, so I don"t need to worry too much. Delivering protecting soul to your head has decreased my energy". Cu Bi soon set loose her vigilance.
s.h.i.+ Yan and she together stood on a big long branch of an ancient tree, she raised her head looking at the sound Beast Mountain in front of them, said: "The strongest sound beast of the Sound Beast Mountain, what level is it?"
s.h.i.+ Yan raised his head and looked ahead. Because the sea of consciousness vibrated, even his G.o.d consciousness could not be released, it was hard to recognize the real strength of all sound beasts on in the Sound Beast Mountain.
"The strongest Sound Beast…". Cu Bi shook her head. "Because of the lightning rod, the Demonic Sound Clan cannot intrude inside, so we don"t know which level the strongest sound beast is. Um, the Wings Race used to invade the Sound Beast Mountain, but it was heard that there was no one got out alive".
"You and the Wings Race people were always fighting?"
"Almost, the Wings Race people live just behind the Sound Beast Mountain. They consider themselves to be the true lord of this land, they want to rule the Demonic Sound Clan. Recent years, the Wings Race" strength has been really stronger than ours, if the Wings Race people united, we could have become their slaves". Cu Bi discouragingly said.
"The Wings Race!" s.h.i.+ Yan thought for a moment. "You have spiritual soul advantages from Heaven, you can easily destroy our souls, but you cannot deal with the Wings Race?"
"The Wings Race is more dangerous than human kind. No human kind can compare with their firm physical body. Although the Wings Race"s spiritual soul is not as good as humankind"s, they still have many ways to protect their soul from being violated. The human kind absolutely cannot compare with them". Cu Bi coldly said.
"Boohoo boohoo"
A strange noise like a baby crying suddenly came out from one the caves on the Sound Beast Mountain.
At the moment that strange noise rose up, gray yin plunged out from that cave, those spirits came out strong and fast, spread out a whole small area in a blink.
A bunch of long figures flew in the middle of gray yin, came down the Sound Beast Mountain along with the gray spirits towards an icy lake in a distance.
"Demon child".
Cu Bi"s face changed dramatically, her subtle body slightly s.h.i.+vered staring at the place where the gray spirits gathering, horribly said: "This thing cannot appear this time. Shelter is really weakening? Irrational, really irrational! No, the plan should be canceled this time".
Suddenly turning her head, Cu Bi with one hand holding s.h.i.+ Yan shouted: "We should leave now. Forget this time, I have to inform our clan about Demon child!"
"You are not sure to be able to escape". s.h.i.+ Yan"s eyes slightly changed, pointed ahead. "That thing seemed to detect us, they start changing the direction?"
"What?". Cu Bi"s white face got chalky, panicky shouted.
