Such form of fear made Luo Hengye cold from head to toe. When one gets lost in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, for many times they were not lost, but have went off track and walked into some formation. Or get played by some elite warriors!
As an old and experienced figure, how would Luo Hengye not know about it?
Inwardly, he could not refrain from being startled and started to search for a different path. However, regardless of which way he went, he could not get out this area, like the monkey trapped in the hands of the Buddhist.
From all directions, left, right, up and down, regardless of which way he took, it was always the same path. It made him fall into a struggling as if he had walked into an eternal trap.
"Which friend is playing me?" Luo Hengye could not but help to ask through his spiritual perception.
It was quiet from all four direction in which there were not even the cry of the animals. Besides the endless mist, there were nothing. It was as if the entire world got covered by this mystical mist.
"Friend, I am only a traveller, why would you play such trick?"
"Just a traveller…" A refined and learned voice sounded from the sky, "Then tell me, traveller, where are you headed?"
"Ha ha, I planned to go to the North Sunny Prefecture and visit the leader of the Floating Snow House, Mu Rong Qianji. While I pa.s.sed by Heavenly Emperor Mountain, I have emerged deep reverence and would like to pay a visit. For sure I do not have any vile intentions."
"North Sunny Prefecture, Mu Rong Qianji?" That voice laughed, "Per my information, Mu Rong Qianji is not at the North Sunny Prefecture right?"
"Eh, is that right? Then I would not know. I am heading to the North Sunny Prefecture for I want to discuss some private matters with Head Mu Rong, while talk about the old days." Luo Hengye denied freely.
"Talk about the old days? Those who can become friends with Head Mu Rong should not be little figures? What"s your name? Where are you from?"
"Ha ha, I came from the far away border and my name is of little significance. I am afraid it will be a disgrace to your reputation if I speak my name."
"Oh, I have a good habit. Each time when I return home, I will always cleanse my ear. Just speak, even if it would truly sound as a disgrace to my honorable ear, I will not mind. At most, I will just wash it." The tone of this voice had clearly sounded as if he was making fun of him.
How could Luo Hengye not bow his head under the roof and submit to humiliation: "I am a martial artist from the Judgement Mountain Prefecture."
"Ha ha, Judgement Mountain Prefecture? When did the prefecture had an elite warrior at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary? This is a major news. You are?"
Inwardly, Luo Hengye grumbled. He had randomly spoke of a remote place and hoped to deceive the other party. He did not expect that this person had known the matters inside the Xuan Yuan Mound inside out.
"Friend, why would you push me into the corner? For my lowly name, I would not dare to speak of it before an elite of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain."
That person still laughed at a neither slow nor fast speed: "If I remembered correctly, the strongest sect is called Primary Central Sect at the Judgement Mountain Prefecture and established at the Divine Finger Mountain. The strongest leader of the Primary Central Sect is called Yuan Yuan Shangren, and is a she. Could it be you are that Yuan Yuan Shangren?"
Clearly, these words were spoken to hit his face. Luo Hengye only felt his face was scorching and knew that the other party did not believe his set of lies.
Feeling somewhat anxious, he planned to take out the communication jade to report to the Head Dao Warrior of the current situation. When he held the communicate jade with his hand, he finally realized that the s.p.a.ce surrounding him was in a completely sealed state. There were no reaction coming from his communication jade!
Now, Luo Hengye finally understood the severity of the matter. Most likely, the current situation was not an accident, but a well-schemed ambus.h.!.+
When he thought here, Luo Hengye felt somewhat worried. If he could not even deliver his spiritual perception, the situation was anything but rea.s.suring. Now, his life or death did not seem to be important. If Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect"s project of paramount importance was delayed, then he could not even redeem it even if he were to die for one hundred times!
Regardless of how he tried to get out or struggled, it appeared usefulness for he received no result.
"Friend, who are you? If I were to fall, let me get to know the truth! I am surely going to fall!" Upon knowing that he could not save the situation, Luo Hengye could not but asked.
"Luo Hengye, we waited for you for a while. You arrived later than we expected." Impressively, this voice spoken leisurely had come from the Third Chief of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, Qin Chongyang.
The last trace of hoping it was a fluke from Luo Hengye"s heart had been completely molded away by the words of Qin Chongyang. It was as if a bucket of cold water had poured him from head to toe.
"You… You are the elite warrior of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan?"
"Ha ha, Luo Hengye, you are smart. This is the famous Great Chief of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan. You and the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect overestimated your capabilities and used eggs to crack against stones. You dared stand on the opposed side to the Emperor Qin Clan, now, this is the time where you suffer retribution!"
Bao Bao"s excited tone travelled in from the outside.
Luo Hengye"s heart sank and said: "Who are you?"
"Ha ha, you pursued my boss for so long, did you not know his competent helper, Bao Bao? Your intelligence network sucks too much?"
"You are that stinky monkey?" Suddenly, Luo Hengye understood something. Certainly this stinky monkey made communication with Qin Wushuang and climbed up first to sought help from the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan. Now the situation in which he fall into the net had occurred!
When he thought here, Luo Hengye was filled with sadness. This was the destiny, not just his own, but the destiny of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect.
From beginning to end, the enemy had held the upper hand and led them by the nose. They had never grasped the initiative!
How could they not fail through all the circ.u.mstances? Feeling wretched and with his eyes dazzled, Luo Hengye seemed to got electrified by a surge of invisible power. As his whole body shuddered, he immediately fainted.
When the mystical formation dispersed, Bao Bao and Lone scuttled and walked before that Luo Hengye. After looking at him for a moment, they asked with confusion: "Great Chief, why not kill this guy?"
"It"s easy to kill him, but we should keep him and see if he can be used at crucial moments. Even if we could not use him, we must kill him before those of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect. Or else how could we intimidate these fearless idiots?" When he spoke these words, Qin Chongyang"s prior courteous expression had swept away and his tone sounded somewhat gloomy.
"Ok, Little Monkey, Luo Hengye is taken care. Now you guys should pray those two powerhouses will not get alerted too soon. It would depend on Qin Wushuang"s luck of how long he can hold on."
Since they had cleaned off Luo Hengye, this accident, they would have to submit to the will of heaven whether how much time they can create for Qin Wushuang.
Qin Chongyang had done everything he could.
Indeed, the methods of the elite warriors in the Supreme Dao were not easily understood by Bao Bao. From the Heavenly Emperor Mountain to the Divine Brilliance Prefecture, they had travelled for three or four days. However, this Great Chief had only used almost a day to reach the Divine Brilliance Prefecture.
With deep veneration, Bao Bao praised him: "It"s truly the divine skill, even your speed is fast."
Under the protection of the Supreme Dao warriors, Bao Bao and Lone had entered the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect with a completely different set of mood. They were free of worries.
Compared to them, Qin Chongyang appeared more cautious. He did not enter the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect with great fanfare, but used his divine skills to infiltrate into the Nine Refined Mysterious Wind Valley quietly.
Now, an inescapable net had established at the Nine Refined Mysterious Wind Valley. A dozen of defense lines from inside out were oversee by elite warriors. From such position, how could it that they were trying to capture a young man of the Human Countries? It seemed that they were facing a major enemy that would threaten their life and death.
Those who do not know the circ.u.mstance must thought the Heavenly Luo Daoist sect was encircling and annihilating an old devil at the Common Mysterious stage. Who would have thought that they were deal with a young man a little older than twenty-years old?
Qin Chongyang took the two spiritual beasts and viewed these defense lines as nothing. It appeared that everything seemed like impenetrable defense, to warriors of the Supreme Dao that have surpa.s.sed the rules of the secular world, these were empty sh.e.l.ls.
Taking them to wherever they pleased, Qin Chongyang was like a fish in the water and soon entered the core area of the Nine Refined Mysterious Wind Valley. Now, Luo Tongtian was guarding the site. That Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Hawk collaborated with him at the scene.
Clearly, Qin Chongyang was not interested at the outlook of the manpower. At this place, it was not convenient for Bao Bao and his friend to communicate with Qin Wushuang through spiritual perception. They were afraid that once this devilish Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Hawk caught the movemenst of the spiritual perception, they would get exposed.
Therefore, Qin Chongyang enjoyed more at admiring the work Qin Wushuang had done. Upon looking at the ruins all around the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, Qin Chongyang seemed to be enjoying a painting or calligraphy of those famous artists as he appeared enchanted by it. If it weren"t for the genuine evidences, he would find it hard to believe that the mastermind that have caused such major destruction was that young man from the Human Countries.
…
Soon, three days had pa.s.sed. Luo Tongtian was somewhat worried. Could it be that Luo Hengye had not reached the Heavenly Emperor Mountain now?
If he had arrived, how could he not sending back any information?
He knew that the Heavenly Emperor Mountain was a forbidden place. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it would be difficult to send through their spiritual perception. However, before arriving at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, he should have at least, send him a reminder.
Feeling incredibly frustrated, Luo Tongtian waited patiently.
Another four or five days had pa.s.sed.
After some calculation, Luo Hengye had been gone for seven or eight days. Per the date they had promised, even if he had not arrived, there should be sign of positive outcome.
However, there were not the slightest information coming from Luo Hengye. Luo Tongtian could not sit still and inwardly, he blamed Luo Hengye for not following the rules and the promise.
On the tenth day, Luo Hengye could not sit still at all and said to the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Hawk: "Divine Hawk, my Second Hand has gone to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, there should be some news, right?"
Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Hawk said: "Perhaps he was trying to persuade the Sound of Thunder sect? Anyways I already contacted the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa and Luo Hengye did not go."
"Second did not go to the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa?" Luo Tongtian was incredibly surprised and said with some dissatisfaction, "Why didn"t you tell me sooner?"
The Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Hawk said coldly: "You didn"t ask me. Besides, I don"t like to speak the human language. Since Luo Hengye is not here, I would not bother to speak."
Luo Tongtian truly wanted to slap this Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Hawk to death. He suppressed his anger and begged it reluctantly: "Divine Hawk, then please help us, and contact the person in charge at the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa. Please ask them to see what"s happening at the Sound of Thunder Sect. My Second always executed his task earnestly, he could not have hang himself to one tree."
The Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Hawk said reluctantly: "Then I will give it a try. How could this matter rose to the level that would involve those in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain?"
The implied meaning beneath his words were that once Qin Wushuang achieved greatly, he would directly threaten the major plan of the two powerhouses dealing with the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan.
The Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Hawk was the Guardian Spiritual Beast of the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa, it would be difficult for it to sit by idly and remain indifferent!
Another two or three days had pa.s.sed after this contact. The result had astonished them. Luo Hengye did not go to the Sound of Thunder Sect nor the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa!
It meant that Luo Hengye went missing!
As if hit by lightning stroke, Luo Tongtian stood there with a completely stunned and dazed expression upon receiving the news.
