Chapter 346: I Have a Question for You Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“This…” Ye Futian strolled casually on the road as if the Demon Birds from the walls had no effect on him. They rushed towards him but his white robe fluttered, his black hair flying. n.o.ble intent bloomed from him and his entire body seemed to be shrouded in sacred light. The evil couldn’t hurt him.
Everyone was shocked. How powerful was Ye Futian’s will? Was it because he had a low plane so he wasn’t as heavily affected? But no matter what, Ye Futian’s powerful walk destroyed all suspicions earlier. Yi Xiaos.h.i.+ and the Sword Saint Mountain disciples left him behind because they had absolute trust in him.
They really were crazy. They trusted Ye Futian before he’d even tried.
Qi Ao and the disciples of the Fuyun Sword Clan had already descended on the other side after transforming into sword light. Seeing Ye Futian’s actions, Qi Ao’s expression grew ugly. This was a slap to him.
“He isn’t in the Arcana Plane yet. He must’ve benefited from his low plane,” someone nearby said after seeing Qi Ao’s change of expression.
Chu Yaoyao looked at Ye Futian from the Moon Clan group. She walked forward.
“Virgin,” someone called.
“I want to try.” Dazzling light enveloped her. Her body flashed and countless copies of her appeared. They were destroyed by the Demon Birds but Chu Yaoyao continued forward. Like a fairy, her movements were like a dance, leading people to gasp.
First, there was Hua Qingqing. Now, there was Chu Yaoyao. The top three beauties of the Eastern Barren Territory were not only amazing in their looks.
People behind them started trying too, working together. More and more strong cultivators pa.s.sed it. Very rarely did anyone die. The people from before had rushed too much, causing them to get killed.
On the road, the people of the Qianqiu Temple and Witch Clan had already set off again.
Qin Li watched Ye Futian walk over with a cold glint in his eyes. He waited for Chu Yaoyao and asked, “Yaoyao, are you alright?”
“Yes.” She nodded lightly.
“Come with me?” Qin Li asked.
“I’ll wait for my sisters. You can go first.” Chu Yaoyao’s voice was gentle and her moving eyes made people want to protect her.
“Okay.” Qin Li nodded. The Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan continued forward soon after.
Ye Futian’s group also started walking. Forces such as the Fuyun Sword Clan and Royal Xuan Temple were nearby. Many people came gradually after them. Seeing these figures, they felt that the road ahead wouldn’t be peaceful. The two parties had declared war. Liu Chenyu, Liu Feiyang, Ye Wuchen, and the Qin Dynasty were true enemies. The rivalry between the College and Qin Dynasty; between the Cottage, Sword Saint Mountain, and Fuyun Sword Clan; between the Cottage and Royal Xuan Temple…
It was shocking they could bear it for this long.
The mountain road grew steeper. Everyone gradually entered the belly of Sky Mountain. Snow was everywhere, dancing in the sky. They couldn’t see outside the mountain anymore. They looked up at the soaring peak and could only keep walking. No one knew how long it would take.
The snow grew heavier. Everyone was covered in a layer of white. Some would use fire Spiritual Qi to melt the snow on them but they started feeling cold. In addition, the evil feeling grew stronger too. It seemed to seep from the mountain and influenced them from everywhere.
The Black Wind Eagle followed close to Ye Futian. Its claws dug into the ground; its eyes glowed red while it hung its head. Ye Futian planted a mark in its mind with a shred of emperor’s intent. This chased away its fear so it could keep going.
Gradually, more and more people started giving up. They felt that if they continued, they would be completely controlled by the evil feeling, becoming its puppet. Those who continued had extremely strong wills. They followed the strong cultivators of each top force. If anything happened, these top cultivators could buffer the attack. They could also learn a lot from them.
The days pa.s.sed. They had already walked for seven days and had no clue where they were. The strong cultivators at the foot of the mountain were still there. People constantly gave up and went back down.
People were everywhere in the white snow. Almost half of the strong cultivators of the Eastern Barren Territory were here.
The bell didn’t ring again. Otherwise, they probably couldn’t stay there anymore.
Zhuge Hui stood there, quietly gazing at Sky Mountain.
“Do you think Junior is the person our teacher wants to find?” she whispered. Only the other Cottage disciples could understand.
Gu Dongliu looked at the snowy peaks. The first three disciples were the clearest about the teacher’s goal. However, the goal was too lofty. Despite their talent, they couldn’t do it. It was so lofty that they didn’t even know what step they were at now.
Now, merely the Eastern Barren Territory threatened them.
“I don’t know,” Gu Dongliu whispered. When he’d heard Ye Futian utter that sentence in the Ancient Barren World, he went to the Cangye Kingdom without hesitation.
“I wonder if Junior will gain something on the mountain,” Zhuge Hui said, smiling. The Eastern Barren Territory had the legend about the two emperors. If Ye Futian could accomplish something and the teacher knew, he would be very happy. But where exactly was that old guy hiding? He’d tricked Zhuge Hui here and dumped the entire Cottage on her without teaching her anything. Now he’d escaped to enjoy life alone. That old man!
…
On Sky Mountain, the Black Wind Eagle stopped again. Its legs trembled and the feathers on its wings stood up straight. There were many marks on the walls ahead. There were signs of claw scratches, lightning, and fire. A horrible aura emanated from it all. This was probably where the two emperors had fought with the Demon Bird.
Everyone felt their bodies grow heavy. An invisible force pressed down on them. Black ravens flew between the walls. Their eyes had a deadly aura and occasionally glowed red.
Thud, thud, thud… They could practically hear their own heartbeats grow louder and louder.
“Push it down.” Ye Futian glanced at the Black Wind Eagle. The mark planted in its mind released a powerful might. He saw the Black Wind Eagle’s eyes become demonic, glinting with a b.l.o.o.d.y light. It was about to go crazy.
“Ah!” A pained cry ripped out. Many hearts trembled and the people looked back. A strong cultivator in the Arcana Plane couldn’t resist the evil intent anymore. His eyes shone with terrible demonic light. His hand had also transformed into a frightening golden dagger that he stabbed into the man beside him.
Blood bloomed in the white snow. Seeing the fresh blood, many people couldn’t control the evil in them either. They screamed as the wild aura exploded. They lost control of themselves. Even those of the top forces started shaking. The evil acc.u.mulated in them was too hard to repress. They lost control and started attacking wildly.
Many people charged towards Hua Qingqing, Chu Yaoyao, and Qin Mengruo. The three were the top beauties of the Eastern Barren Territory. They easily attracted evil thoughts. People also went crazily to the fairies of the Moon Clan.
“Kill them,” Qin Li ordered coldly. Instantly, the people of the Qin Dynasty and Donghua Clan started acting. The scene became more chaotic.
Blood flew through the air with the snow, leading to more evil thoughts. Even Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu’s eyes turned red as they stared coldly at Qin Li. They hated his guts. This type of negative emotion was easy to be pushed out and affected by the evilness.
Seeing this, Hua Qingqing stepped into the crowd and sat down, legs crossed. Her guqin spirit appeared and she started playing. Seeing her flawless and angelic features, even more people pounced towards her.
Music rang out. It was so wholesome it could almost purify their souls. The world fell quiet; all evil thoughts were eradicated by the music. Those who pounced towards her stopped, struggling in place.
In the front, the Arhat and Qianqiu Temple disciples who’d forged on alone looked back. Those who were pure enough would be unaffected by the evil influence. Hua Qingqing was probably that type of person.
As the soothing music flowed out, much of the redness in people’s eyes were a bit controlled. The fighting continued though. Many people couldn’t completely extract themselves.
Qin Li looked over to Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu. Seeing the redness in their eyes, he chuckled. “Want to kill me?”
The murderous intent grew in their eyes.
“Qingqing is kind but it’s better for these failures affected by the evil to kill themselves. Why save them?” Qin Li asked, glancing at Hua Qingqing.
“Evil thoughts are born in those who are evil. No need to save them,” Qi Ao also said.
“I have a question for you.” Ye Futian walked forward. The place was a bit chaotic now. Qin Li was in the direction of the Moon Clan.
“What question?” Qin Li asked with a sneer.
Ye Futian stopped before Qin Li and smiled brightly. “Do people like you never repent? even when facing death?”
Qin Li arched an eyebrow. His eyes sharpened as he stared at Ye Futian. At that time, a wild aura burst from Ye Futian’s body. He transformed into an afterimage that shot forward.
Boom. Qin Li’s aura erupted too. Then he saw a heavy staff that weighed thousands of tons drop from the sky. It swept down everything with the roar of a divine ape and dragon. It was about to split everything apart!
