Chapter 1857 - 1856: A Dangerous World
Su Yang just felt his power enhanced, but a big question immediately appeared in his mind; this increase in strength is completely disproportionate to the number of Flat Peaches he ate.
So, Su Yang always wondered if he made a mistake. He began to slowly circulate his power, wanting to see if there was any hidden power or Spiritual Energy within him that he hadn't discovered.
However, after his power circulated a few times, he still didn't find anything. It was as if all the Spiritual Energy had vanished, which was very strange.
This situation puzzled Su Yang greatly. After eating so many Flat Peaches, did he waste most of them? Was it like a bull chewing peonies?
However, Su Yang couldn't share this situation with others. He knew that the Spiritual Energy in Flat Peaches could not disappear for no reason; there was surely something he hadn't yet discovered.
"Su Alliance Leader, since we can't enter this valley now, let's leave for now." The eagle approached Su Yang: "Let's leave here, find a chance to enhance our power, and when we have enough strength, we'll be able to go in and rescue Miss Qi'er!"
Everyone nodded, as they were very grateful to Qi'er. It was Qi'er who sacrificed herself and stayed in the valley, allowing them to be saved. Otherwise, they might have been tortured to death by the Feather Clan descendants!
Su Yang saved them, and Qi'er also saved them; these people admired Su Yang immensely now.
In fact, Su Yang had a lot of confidence in these people. They were captured and tortured by the Feather Clan descendants for a long time, yet remained unyielding, showing they were tough individuals. Such clear-minded people could never be those despicable sorts. Su Yang saved these people, and they would surely repay Su Yang, which was critical.
Su Yang looked into the distant sky, sighed softly, and nodded slowly.
As the eagle said, given that we can't enter this valley now, forget about rescuing Qi'er; let's head back and enhance our strength first.
Moreover, Su Yang has been in this valley for three to four years; who knows what's happening in the Human World now? The Divine Master stole Su Yang's World Melting Furnace, the four Major Sects moved north, and there were two groups in Huaxia causing chaos—who knows how chaotic Huaxia has become?
His family and friends are all left in the Human World. After the Divine Master tricked him, sending him into the valley, will he let those around Su Yang go?
Or rather, will those around Su Yang let that group of Divine Master's people go?
Not to mention, Black Widow, Ye Wantong, Lv Donglin, and others will undoubtedly fight the Divine Master desperately. Yet, their strength is far inferior to that of the Divine Master's group.
Su Yang could hardly dare to imagine the current state of his sister and the others after he left.
Perhaps, as soon as he entered the valley, the Divine Master might have already killed everyone around Su Yang!
While in the valley, Su Yang constantly thought about the situation outside. He once tried his hardest to get out, just to rescue his family and friends. Even if they had perished in battle, Su Yang still wanted to come out and see.
And now, as he finally stepped out, he was somewhat afraid. Afraid that what he feared had indeed become reality, afraid that all his family and friends perished in battle—he truly couldn't accept this outcome!
However, regardless of the results, Su Yang still had to face it.
...
At the other end of the valley, the very place where Su Yang had previously fallen into it.
Here, a group of thirty to forty individuals stood vigil, led by Black Widow Ye Wantong, with Hu Xixi, Huo Qianfang, and Ying'er beside them.
The others were also those who had close ties with Su Yang.
These people remained here mainly to wait for Su Yang's return.
But now, these people looked utterly exhausted. Particularly the leading Black Widow and Ye Wantong, both of whom were covered in blood; Black Widow appeared especially pale, indicating severe injuries.
The condition of the others wasn't much better, with most of them carrying injuries. More crucially, a short distance away lay dozens of corpses—all those who had died in battle.
Everyone's spirits were quite low; Ye Wantong stood at the edge of the valley, gazing at the light circle above, eyes reddened.
Ye Wantong, clad in white, now had her clothing stained red with blood. The longsword in her hand was filled with cracks; the longsword was a gift from Ye Sword Saint, but now it was nearly useless.
These days they had gone through too many battles, and they were really at their limits!
"Qi Xuan died in battle, Deng An died in battle, Lv Donglin is missing. Wang Lao Er died tragically, Hou Shilin died tragically, Eight Faced Yama died tragically, even Master Fang, who hadn't reached the Venerable Realm, died tragically..." Ye Wantong looked at the valley before her, tremblingly said, "Su Yang, I used to hope you could walk out of this valley. But now, I truly don't hope for you to come out anymore, I just hope you can stay forever in this valley. This world has changed, become too dangerous, you... you don't ever come out..."
If Su Yang were here to hear these words, he would definitely be shocked to the extreme. What on earth has happened to the world that Ye Wantong would say such a thing?
Suddenly, a voice cried out from afar. Immediately after, a blood-soaked woman staggered out from the woods.
"Zi Nu!" Black Widow immediately stood up and rushed forward to support the woman.
This woman was none other than Zi Nu, who used to serve by Black Widow's side. Now she had lost an arm, covered in blood, practically on the verge of death.
Seeing Black Widow, Zi Nu's eyes sparkled with a hint of life. Reaching out a hand to grasp Black Widow's, she said tremulously, "Master, I... I'm useless, I... couldn't bring the other sisters back..."
Seeing Zi Nu's state, Black Widow's eyes were red. She had sent the Seven Colors, her trusted ones, out on missions. But now only Zi Nu returned, terribly injured, so need there be more said of what happened outside?
"No matter, it's good you're back!" Black Widow took Zi Nu's wrist, quietly channeling power into her, softly saying: "It's my fault for sending you on such dangerous missions!"
Zi Nu shook her head, forcing her hand free, tremblingly spoke: "Master, don't... waste any more strength on me. I... my organs are all shattered, I... can't survive. Master, I did investigate the matter you asked me about. Qi Zhishan has... died in battle..."
