"Emperor Ye Qing's relic really is here." everyone squinted their eyes and stared ahead. They could see the huge statue ahead. It seemed that Xia Fan had been lying to them. The real reason for him to coerce everyone to fight the beast tide is to reach this relic.
Qin Shuai stared at the coiled dragon in the valley below and frowned. Many years ago, when he followed his master here, he did not see this coiled dragon. There were only the statue and the demon beasts. This dragon had come later.
"Everyone, this is the relic of Emperor Ye Qing. There is an entrance below the statue. It might contain the Emperor Ye Qing's treasures. Even if we don't talk about the relic, this dragon is dead and its body is a great treasure." Xia Fan pointed down with greed in his eyes. If it weren't for the demons below, he would have done it himself.
"Vice chief, these demons are very strong," the Headmaster if the Heiyan Academy, Tang Mo said as he walked up. The greater demon below was different from the other demonic beasts. It seemed to be extremely lazy, as though it didn't care about them at all.
"That's why we need everyone to work together," Xia Fan said.
"I didn't think that Emperor Ye Qing was from the City of Qingzhou and left his inheritance here. Vice chief, you really hid it from us." Tang Mo said tentatively.
"I only found out that Emperor Ye Qing is from the City of Qingzhou not long ago, but I don't know if the statue contains his inheritance. I didn't tell you because I didn't want the news to leak out. Please forgive me." Xia Fan glanced at Tang Mo and smiled. After that , he looked at all the people and said, "Everyone, we should make our move."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, no one moved. No one was willing to fight for Xia Fan at this time.
"General Qin, Palace Master Gu." Xia Fan squinted at Qin Shuai.
"We already assisted you enough to reach this place. I won't let the people of the Dark Qilin Knighthood and Qingzhou Academy die for your interest." Qin Shuai said coldly. Looking at the number of demonic beasts below, if a battle were to break out, ordinary cultivators would only be cannon fodder, purely to lure the demonic beasts away.
"Young Master Xia, the demonic beasts are in groups. If we fight them, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties. Furthermore, what will we get if only you obtain Emperor Ye Qing inheritance? I don't want my people to die for nothing." Tang Mo also showed his hesitance to act. Xia Fan was surprised. His eyes flashed dangerously as he smiled coldly.
"Uncle." Xia Fan looked at the black-robed man beside him. The black-robed man, who had been keeping a low profile, stepped forward. In the next moment, a gust of Sword Will burst from his body, sweeping up a destructive storm of Sword Qi that enveloped everyone.
Many people's minds trembled as they felt that they were surrounded by boundless Sword Will and could be destroyed at any moment.
"Arcana Plane." Hua Fengliu on the Qingzhou Academy side realized that Xia Fan was serious this time. He did not expect Xia Fan to bring his uncle, an Arcana Plane cultivator from the City of Donghai just for the sake of taking Emperor Ye Qing's inheritance. It looked like he did not completely trust these coalition army.
Tang Mo's expression also turned ugly. It seems like Xia Fan was doubting the Heiyan people too.
"Do you have any more questions?" Xia Fan smiled coldly. None of this could escape his control.
"The Dark Qilin Knighthood can fight. Ask the younger generation of Qingzhou Academy to retreat," Qin Shuai said.
"You are challenging my patience, Qin Shuai." Xia Fan glanced at him coldly.
However, at this time, Murong Qiu from the Murong Chamber of Commerce approached him. He gave a said, "Actually, it's easy to force them to act. If Young Master Xia is willing to hear my suggestion, we could work these out smoothly."
Xia Fan looked at this young man indifferently, saying, "What kind of suggestion?"
Murong Qiu smiled coldly, and looked at the younger generation of the Qingzhou Academy, specifically towards Ye Futian and Yu Sheng.
When Ye Futian saw that look, he frowned. An anxiety surfaced inside his heart. The other people of Qingzhou Academy also can perceive something wrong is about to happen.
"Let's take those young people from the Qingzhou Academy as a hostage. Especially those talented youth such as Yu Sheng and Ye Futian. I'm sure they will have no choice but to comply to your command."
"Uncle, you know what to do." Hearing Murong Qiu, Xia Fan made a decisive choice.
His uncle understood Xia Fan's request and flashed towards the direction of the Qingzhou Academy. He quickly passed several people and arrived almost instantly in front of Ye Futian.
However, a wave of Spiritual Qi suddenly attacked him. This forced him to defend using his sword qi. Nevertheless, the attack send him skidding away from the Qingzhou Academy's group. The sword master lifted his gaze and looked at the direction of Qingzhou Academy, just in time to see Hua Fengliu walking out in front of Ye Futian.
A dazzling light was released from Hua Fengliu's body. Then, the light gathered into strings and gradually turned into a guqin. It appeared in front of Hua Fengliu. At this moment, Hua Fengliu's aura also rose rapidly. He had broken through the Dharma Plane and entered the Arcana Plane.
"You are not allowed to bring harm to my disciple." Hua Fengliu stood calmly in front of his disciple as he warned the sword master.
"Life Spirit. This is impossible." The Arcana Plane swordsman stared forward. He knew for many years, Hua Fengliu's Life Spirit was destroyed, and his cultivation level already fallen into the Dharma Plane.
Then, he seemed to understand something. His expression changed. "Hua Fengliu, you're committing suicide."
Hua Fengliu looked at Xia Fan as if he didn't hear the Arcana Plane cultivator. He said, "Xia Fan, why are you forcing others to do your bidding? You have a strong uncle to help you get the inheritance. You could just ask him to assist you to get the inheritance.
"Also, why are you listening to the suggestion of that Murong brat? Is he smarter than you? Why resort to such lowly trick?"
Xia Fan face darkened. He didn't expect Hua Fengliu to interfere in this matter. He said, "Senior Guqin Devil, I advise you to mind your own business."
"You are the one who are trying to harm my disciple. You forced my hand to get involved." Hua Fengliu said coldly.
"I'd like to see how long you could maintain your state in Arcana Plane." The sword master walked forward. The sword will became more and more terrifying, as if it was going to tear the space apart.
"Uncle, please hold him for a while. Headmaster Tang, please go and catch those two." Xia Fan glanced at Tang Mo and made his request.
"Very well." Tang Mo did not thought bit much, and charged directly towards Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, while Hua Fengliu was preoccupied on facing the Arcana Plane sword master.
At the same time Tang Mo acted, the Headmaster of Qingzhou Academy, Guy Mu made his move. He directly unleashed his attack towards this Heiyan Academy's Headmaster.
"Move out." Wei Meng also moved out together with the coalition army on Xia Fan's side.
"Attack them!" Qin Shuai was angered, and directly commanded the Dark Qilin Knighthood to charge towards the other side. Qingzhou Academy's people also did not remain idle, as they too followed the Dark Qilin Knighthood to attack.
Instantly, a war broke out between the two side on the perimeter of the area where the statue of Emperor Ye Qing stood up.
On a tall tree, Ye Huang stood calmly looking at these people fighting each other. He was thinking whether to interfere in this event. Any interference might cause a change in the future event.
While contemplating this, his consciousness entered into his Life Palace. Inside, a fight also broke out between the Snow Ape, Wukong and the Avatar, Ye Gwak.
Just after it's replication, this ape is already want to establish his own terror in this place. That's why he challenged the most powerful entity in the Life Palace.
Ye Gwak on the other hand is not someone to be trifled with. Except for the Freedom Meditation, Ye Gwak could use almost all of Ye Huang's battle skill. Thus, he calmly accepted Wukong's challenge.
While fighting, Wukong conjured a staff out of Spiritual Qi. After that, he smashed the staff towards Ye Gwak. The attack was activated used some kind of technique, and imbued by the spiritual qi of Stage One Dharma Plane.
"81 Strikes of the Heaven Try Staff!"
Ye Huang somehow was able to deduce the name of the staff techniques used by Wukong. Unexpectedly, this guy can use the staff technique of those apes. How is this possible?
Ye Gwak turned serious when he saw this attack. He waved his left hand and created a matrix. From the matrix, he created wind, fire, lightning, and water based elemental attack. On his left hand, he used the empty air to inscribe various form of spells. He then let those elemental attack and spells to charge towards Wukong.
Wukong first attack was obstructed strongly and his staff dissipated in the thin air. Ye Gwak's attack on the other hand were charging directly towards the him.
Seeing this, Wukong created another staff from Spiritual Qi, and waved it to face the incoming attack. This time his attack was stronger then before as he added more strike.
As the two fought, Shenron and Sokyoku was chatting while watching the fight like watching a movie on a big screen.
"This is a good show." Shenron sat on air lazily.
"I feel like we are missing something for the show." Sokyoku on the side added.
"I feel you. It's as if we are missing a drink and food to eat while watching the fight." Shenron was thinking of eating some cooked meat, and drinking some booze while watching the show.
Sokyoku nodded in agreement. He then asked, "By the way, do you want to watch the war outside?"
"Nah. The fight here is more fun." Shenron replied.
Ye Huang was looking at those two weirdo. Should I give them some coke and popcorn? It would be interesting to have those foods and drinks in this world, he thought. After that, he focused his attention on the outside fight.
It the battle between Xia Fan's group and the Qingzhou Academy army, Xia Fan have the upper hand. There are too many fighter in his group's rank. Many of the Heiyan people managed to get pass the powerful fighter of Qingzhou Academy and the Dark Qilin Knighthood.
Two cultivator of the Heiyan at the Stage Three of Dharma Plane, walked towards Ye Futian and Yu Sheng.
"You two, don't try to resist. Stay down and let us capture you." one of them warned the two youth. However, why would Ye Futian and Yu Sheng let themselves be captured easily.
They knew that both of them was not powerful enough to face these Dharma Plane cultivators. The only option is to run away as fast as they could. Both of them then dashed away towards the foggy area. In those place, they might get a bigger chance to hide themselves.
However, those two didn't intend to let them go. They quickly charged forward and followed the two into the foggy area.
Suddenly, a wave of staff attack made up of Spiritual Qi smashed in front of the Dharma Plane fighters. Those two abruptly stopped in their pursuit and stepped back to avoid the strike. The attack smashed the ground and cracked the place where the two were just a moment ago.
The two looked around but didn't find their attacker. It seems like their attacker was good at hiding himself. Looking ahead, Ye Futian and Yu Sheng already entered the foggy area, and was about to disappear into it.
"Let's go." The two still choose to pursue despite the danger of being ambushed by someone. At the back, another Heiyan fighter followed the two into the fog.
Ye Huang who attacked the two just now frowned when he saw the third person. The cultivation level of this guy is a bit higher. It was at the Stage Six of Dharma Plane.
Right now Ye Huang is only at the Stage Two of the same plane. If he fought this guy, he was not sure whether he could win such fight. Nevertheless, he jumped down from the tree where he was hiding, and also entered the fog.
Inside the fog, he asked the Azure Dragon to come out.
"Master, the show has not yet ended. Can you summon me after? Or else, you can ask Sokyoku out this time." Shenron was reluctant to come out this time.
"Master, I am busy cultivating." The bird at the side suddenly cultivated seriously.
"Bastard." Shenron face darkened when he saw Sokyoku.
"No time to argue. Shenron, you will come out. Your appearance is the same as the dead dragon beside the statue. So you have the surprise advantage when you fight these Dharma Plane fighters." Ye Huang explained.
Shenron reluctantly came out.
