Chapter 1131 - 326: Feng Zhaoyang Arc (9)_4
Yuchi turned his head and glanced at Yin Shuang inside the painting, his eyes indescribably gentle.
Then he said, "She’s been kneeling for so long; her legs aren’t numb yet?"
Yin Shuang: "..."
...
In the black mountains of the sixth and fifth states, the female cultivator controlled a spirit beast to shuttle through the mountains. She could hear the burnt smell in the air and detect the strong scent of danger. Among the sharp mountain ranges that seemed like sickles beneath her feet, who knows what kind of monsters lurked?
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, she had no reason to be afraid, but if a truly powerful monster attacked her, she might have to choose self-preservation.
By that time, Lu Qingyin would be killed.
Just then, a flash of thunder flickered in the distant black mountains. She squinted as if she could see a cultivator fighting with a monster. She had no intention of going up to help but quickened her pace and hurried past. In such times when danger increasingly encroaches, pity was dangerous.
This is not the time to rely on anyone; only one’s own cultivation is most crucial.
Upon flying swiftly away from that area in the darkness, she turned to check the situation behind her. Indeed, there was a cultivator in the distance, harnessing the power of thunder and battling with a giant winged serpent. Waves of lightning poured down like storms, and the intense lightning completely ignited a part of the sky.
The rain was burning.
"Is she okay?" The female cultivator glanced at Lu Qingyin.
Lu Qingyin continued her speech, continuously learning the languages of the fifth and third states, as if nothing happening around her mattered at all. The young girl’s calm demeanor far surpassed many adults, perhaps this is the kind of enlightenment that comes from deep despair.
Things that cannot be changed, one must begin with oneself.
The female cultivator had nothing more to say.
She simply urged the spirit beast to quicken its pace, and the beast obliged, leaping over wide, sharp mountain ranges. The carriage’s speed was balanced yet swift, and the sounds of ghostly wails and wolf howls seemed out of place with the outside world. After all, in the eyes of the people from the sixth state, the people of other states believed this world to be peaceful.
But indeed, there was no such thing as a peaceful world.
It’s just unseen.
In the crevices between the mountains, a hideous monster lay on the hillside. It was not large, just a regular-sized python, but its belly bulged, clearly showing someone inside. A human face became visible beneath the snake’s skin.
Beside it sat another cultivator, looking horrified. This cultivator’s arms and legs had been bitten off, watching helplessly as his companion was digested, knowing he was next.
Want to end it all?
He doesn’t even have the right to do that as the venom suppressed the Spiritual Qi within him, rendering him a lamb to the slaughter.
"It’ll be alright once we reach the third state. The grandeur of the third state will gradually erase the brutality of the sixth state from her mind. I hope she doesn’t come back here again; it’s already plunging into despair."
"Once the world starts to fall into chaos."
"It’s hard to restore peace."
The female cultivator ignored everything around her; her speed was steady, heading straight to the third state.
...
The next day.
State Capital.
Feng Zhaoyang found Yuchi. Seeing Feng Zhaoyang clutching his waist, Yuchi teased with a smile, "What’s up, exhausted from last night?"
Indeed, exhausted like a dog, Feng Zhaoyang gave Yuchi a sidelong look, then said, "I’ve already discussed with Lord Wang; his stance is simple, it’s time to take the fight to others."
Is it really a fight? As expected... Yuchi said, "Are we really going to war with them? Isn’t that too dangerous?"
Feng Zhaoyang waved his hand, indicating Yuchi not to worry too much about such matters.
"It’s okay, it’s just a battle."
"As for the current situation, none of us want to see it, but for Lanlan, we’re willing to give it our all! Since they’ve chosen not to support Lanlan, it’s their mistake, and they must bear the consequences of their choice!"
"We are going to war with them!"
Yuchi remained silent, quietly watching Feng Zhaoyang’s display with an expression of "Ah, is that really so?" "Ah, isn’t that dangerous?" "Ah, I’m so scared."
Feng Zhaoyang felt immensely satisfied with Yuchi’s expression, which perfectly aligned with the discussions he had with Wang Haoran last night. Yuchi himself was unaware of their plans and was just like any other spectator, just going along with it.
He then said, "No need to fear, Lord Wang is relatively rational. Although there’s no room for negotiation regarding Lanlan’s matter, considering the state capital still shouldn’t fall into chaos, even if he decides to start a war, he’ll do so calmly and directly!"
