Chapter 1521 - 1522: In Accordance with the So-Called Ancestral Rules
"This Spring of Life indeed harbors many peculiarities; even the power contained within this vapor is extraordinary."
Yang Fei's heart was filled with admiration as he began searching for the inscriptions left by the Spider Queen.
Soon enough, he discovered on the left side of the stone wall, smooth as a mirror, faintly carved symbols.
Yang Fei took a closer look; they were a jumbled mess of lines written in English or Chinese.
"In heaven, we wish to be flying birds; on earth, we wish to be intertwined branches."
"Wang Xiaodan, I hate you! But I miss you so much, where on earth are you?"
"My fate is in my hands, not the heavens. Whoever dares to stand in my way, I will kill."
"Wang Xiaodan, I'm losing my mind here; if you don't come and find me, believe it or not, I'll make you wear a thousand green hats..."
...
The inscriptions on the stone wall were mostly in English, with some in Chinese.
Yang Fei felt lost in a fog, completely unable to comprehend what was going on.
Yang Fei pondered for a long time, looking at these messages, and he vaguely understood a few things in his heart.
This woman known only as the Spider Queen was actually a lovesick and pitiable person, waiting foolishly for a man named Wang Xiaodan.
This woman, named the Spider Queen, was a very unique and powerful individual. A man worthy of such a woman's favor would be indeed remarkable.
Then, who exactly was this Wang Xiaodan spoken of by the Spider Queen?
The writing on the stone wall was entirely the Spider Queen's way of venting emotions, some of it bordering on murmurings.
Just relying on these lines, Yang Fei could not deduce the origin of the Spider Queen.
Yang Fei studied it for some time, sighed deeply, shook his head, and walked down from the Spring of Life.
By the side of the Spring of Life's stone steps, Ye Shengge had been nervously observing Yang Fei.
Upon seeing him leave the Spring of Life untouched, Ye Shengge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a sharp voice pierced into both their ears.
"Ye Shengge of the Phantom Division, how dare you bring outsiders into the forbidden territory of the Spring of Life."
Ye Shengge and Yang Fei looked up, and both were startled.
Beneath the stone steps of the Spring of Life, the place was already tightly surrounded by Night Clansmen.
Many Night Clansmen were holding their bows and arrows, the gleaming arrow tips pointed at the two of them.
The situation was on the brink of explosion.
Yang Fei couldn't help but be secretly amazed. He activated Serpent Sting; within a range of twenty yards, the sound of ants or leaves falling was distinctly audible.
But when had this group of Night Clansmen gotten close to the Spring of Life? Even he hadn't detected it.
The Night Clan experts truly had extraordinary abilities in invisibility.
Ye Shengge discreetly approached Yang Fei, his voice lowered to a whisper.
"We're exposed. You better leave quickly, or there will be fatal consequences."
Yang Fei snorted: "Abandoning your friend and fleeing for your life is not what a true man does."
As he spoke, he stepped forward to block Ye Shengge.
"When the fight breaks out, find a chance to escape. Don't worry about me."
"No, I don't want to leave!"
Ye Shengge cried out: "I brought you to the forbidden territory, if punishment is due, let's face it together."
Yang Fei snorted: "Who said I would surrender? There's no one born yet who can capture me."
As they were talking, the female leader waved her hand, and there was a series of echoes in the sky; a dense volley of arrows shot toward them.
The sharp whirring sound resembled a thousand bees.
"Buzz!"
Yang Fei infused True Yuan Energy into the Army-destroyer Longsword, letting its purple-red glow shine brightly.
The Sword Momentum was like a raging sea, layer upon layer blocking the front of the two.
"Ding ding ding!"
The sound of countless metallic impacts rang out; the ground was covered with a dense pile of broken arrows forming a semicircular heap in front of them.
All the Night Clansmen gasped in surprise.
The bows and arrows of the Night Clan were unparalleled, even Martial Artists of the Gang Qi Tung Shen Realm had difficulty resisting.
Such a barrage of arrows would turn even a True Martial Master into a porcupine.
Yet, the Night Clan's most prized bows and arrows lost their effectiveness completely in front of Yang Fei.
Yang Fei succeeded with a single strike, embraced Ye Shengge's waist, and swooped forward like a great bird.
"Die if you block me!"
He shouted loudly, his longsword was like a rainbow, akin to a furious thunderstorm, no one dared to resist.
Many Night Clansmen shouted, retreating to the sides.
Yang Fei seized the moment, instantly rushing to the foot of the stone steps.
Just then, a black figure flickered across, arriving in front of Yang Fei, with a dagger as sharp as a wolf's fang, slashing toward his throat.
The angle was exquisite, barely blocking Yang Fei's path, the move both ruthless and venomous.
Yang Fei's heart was stern, knowing a formidable foe had arrived.
He exhaled loudly, swung the Heavy Sword of the Destroyed Army, with a power that could split Mount Hua, and thrust forward.
Whoosh!
The air was stirred by the Heavy Sword of the Destroyed Army, forming a massive vortex, with ripples faintly appearing in the space.
Yang Fei's True Martial Qi Energy included this attack, its range immense, forcing the assassin expert to retreat quickly.
Suddenly, behind Yang Fei, on the left side, two piercing chills appeared, like a venomous snake spitting, sinisterly fierce.
Without turning his head, Yang Fei spun the Heavy Sword of the Destroyed Army into a whirlwind, slashing backward.
"Clang!"
Yang Fei's Heavy Sword of the Destroyed Army clashed with two daggers, sparks flying.
Two cloaked women appeared from nowhere, one of them revealed to be Ye Mingkong.
Yang Fei turned around, there were two women behind him, one of whom was Ye Mingzhu.
These four women were clearly far above ordinary Night Clansmen in Martial Arts Realm, their presence dignified, with brilliance flashing in their eyes.
Ye Shengge saw his mother and was startled: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Ye Mingzhu's face was cold as water, glaring viciously at Ye Shengge.
"How dare you bring outsiders here? Do you remember the ancestral principle?"
Ye Shengge lowered his head and murmured.
"I just wanted to find the whereabouts of the Spider Queen, Brother Yang is a good person too."
Ye Mingkong said indifferently: "Don't say anything else, the big mistake has already been made. Surrender and you can avoid a death sentence."
Yang Fei was growing more amused as he listened. By this point, he couldn't contain himself anymore and laughed heartily, his laughter rich with derision.
Ye Mingkong was furious and shouted: "You trespass into the Spring of Life, you will soon be sent to the Execution Pyre, what's so funny?"
Yang Fei suddenly stopped laughing: "May I ask, has the Spider Queen ever been sent to the Execution Pyre?"
Yang Fei's words caused all Four Great Matriarchs to change their expressions.
Ye Mingkong couldn't hold back and scolded Yang Fei.
"What makes you worthy to be compared with the Spider Queen?"
Yang Fei immediately burst into laughter, bending over with laughter.
"It turns out your so-called ancestral rules are about bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The Spider Queen could storm into the Spring of Life, why can't I?"
Ye Mingkong was enraged.
"Back then, the Spider Queen could defeat all Night Clan experts single-handedly, invincible and renowned. Who are you to compare yourself to her?"
Yang Fei chuckled coldly: "If that's so, I'd like to challenge each of the Night Clan experts one by one."
