Chapter 1742 - 1742 Seven Lotus Peak
1742 Seven Lotus Peak
The great phoenix dragons were naturally still hung up about this issue, especially Miao Yang.
He was the clan leader, and this incident was akin to a tight slap to the entire clan, causing his face to drop.
He naturally had deep enmity toward Chu Liuyue, but he had always disguised himself as a kind person. Even if he wanted to kill someone, he rarely revealed harsh looks; he always took the person’s life while smiling and talking.
It was naturally the same now when he talked to Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu.
!!
After commanding the people below to send them away, the Thousand Summit continued. However, many people’s thoughts had flown far away.
Two additional people suddenly appeared on G.o.dly Dragon Island out of nowhere. How could they be nonchalant about it?
Even though this Thousand Summit was solemnly held, there was no shocking highlight, so it was hard to regather the crowd’s focus.
Even Miao Yang—who was sitting at the front—found it boring to watch the descendants that came up to test their skills and abilities one by one.
Actually, they roughly knew how good these people were. The testing at the Thousand Summit was just a chance for them to compete openly.
Miao Yang leaned against the chair, and the previous scenes played in his head again.
“…Clan Leader. Clan Leader?”
After some time, an elder’s voice caused Miao Yang to recover his senses.
“The tests are basically done. Do you think… we should prepare to activate the holy hall?”
Miao Yang knocked against the chair, and his gaze swept below him.
The younger generation members that partic.i.p.ated in the test were split into two sides. However, their expressions were vastly different.
One side was energetic, and they looked very excited and happy. Those were the better ones, and they had reached the standard to enter the holy hall.
The other side looked more dejected and defeated. They were clearly the ones who were eliminated.
Seeing the faces of the younger generation, Miao Yang suddenly became frustrated.
He thought about the red-gold heavenly phoenix that took human form at a young age. Even the most outstanding few out of those in front of him only took human form after they became adults.
This was lacking when compared to that red-gold heavenly phoenix.
Originally, Miao Yang was quite satisfied with them. But thinking that the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan suddenly had such a talent, he instantly became upset.
It was infuriating to compare. This was even more apt when placed between the two ancient legendary fiend clans.
They have such a talent, but the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan didn’t leak any news at all. They really did something big quietly!
But thinking that the red-gold heavenly phoenix still had an agreement with Shangguan Yue, Miao Yang felt slightly better. This matter is taboo for them, so it is definitely considered a major flaw. If Shangguan Yue dies, then the red-gold heavenly phoenix…
Miao Yang lowered his eyes and hid his emotions. When he looked up again, his gaze was as calm as usual.
He nodded. “We can begin preparing.”
…
On the other end, Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue were brought to Seven Lotus Peak.
G.o.dly Dragon Island was really a lone island, but it was huge. There were many mountains and a lot of lush greenery on the island.
This Seven Lotus Peak was one such mountain.
Compared to all these pretty and sharp peaks, this Seven Lotus Peak was ordinary and not eye-catching. But once she leaned close, Chu Liuyue realized that the barrier covering Seven Lotus Peak seemed to be stronger than the neighboring barriers.
“Seven Lotus Peak is very quiet. During this period of time, you will have to make do with this area.” The two great phoenix dragons in charge of escorting them opened the barrier coldly and gestured for them to enter.
The corner of Rong Xiu’s lips curved up as he smoothly held Chu Liuyue’s hand and brought her in.
The moment the two entered, the barrier closed behind them again.
“The clan leader has instructed that you can directly speak when you have thought it through. We’ll be here waiting for you at any time.”
This meant that they were strictly guarding them.
Rong Xiu’s thin lips curled up slightly, but he didn’t care much about it as he directly brought Chu Liuyue to the middle of the mountain.
There was a cave there.
Almost n.o.body came to G.o.dly Dragon Island. Other than the holy hall, the rooms were pitifully few.
Most of the great phoenix dragons preferred to stay in caves, and this peak was not an exception.
Chu Liuyue surveyed her surroundings, and her gaze landed on the cave entrance.
This cave entrance wasn’t considered huge, but it looked pitch black from here. This caused one’s heart to be cold for some reason.
Chu Liuyue said, “It seems like n.o.body has been to this cave for a long time.”
Weeds grew everywhere, and it exuded a deserted aura.
Rong Xiu smiled slightly. “It’s not only this cave. I think n.o.body has stepped foot on the entire Seven Lotus Peak for a long time.”
Chu Liuyue nodded.
Previously, she had already noticed that the entire Seven Lotus Peak was quiet, without any sense of vitality. It was so quiet that she could hear her own heart beating.
It seemed like there was no other hint of life other than the two of them.
“It’s weird…” She turned around and took a look. “This place is not far from the holy hall. Why would it be so deserted?”
They could even see the solemn and magnificent holy hall from here.
Miao Yang and the rest were currently holding the Thousand Summit there.
Rong Xiu smiled and brought her in. “It’s good that it’s quiet. n.o.body will come to disturb us.”
Once he said this, he whipped his sleeves, and a ball of golden fire flew out and burned in front of the cave.
Pilihuala!
The surrounding weeds quickly burned and turned into ashes.
Chu Liuyue saw greenish-black smoke coming from the flames. She then furrowed her brows. “That’s…”
“Just something filthy. You don’t have to care about it.” Rong Xiu chuckled before dismissing the fire.
Chu Liuyue clearly felt that the cave entrance was different from before. She walked in, and this feeling became increasingly stronger.
Rong Xiu lifted his long legs and walked to the cave.
The duo had their fingers tightly interlocked. Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other and went in as well.
The moment she entered, Chu Liuyue surveyed her surroundings and suddenly saw something. She stopped in her tracks and narrowed her eyes.
There were deep lines on the cave wall; they seemed to be scratched out by something sharp! But when Chu Liuyue saw it, she couldn’t think of any sharp object that would leave such marks.
That was until she saw bloodstains by the side. They were dark green, dry, and completely immersed in the cave walls.
At that moment, a white light flashed across her heart!
“Rumors have it that there was an ancestor in the great phoenix dragon clan who went crazy while cultivating. Overnight, he killed a total of seven clansmen. Later on, he was imprisoned. After hundreds of days of torture, he was finally killed and thus eliminated.”
Rong Xiu slightly raised his brows. “It seems like this Seven Lotus Peak was the cave that imprisoned him.”
