Chapter 633 Friends (1/2)
Outside the Spirit Subduing Mountain.
In a hidden mountain forest, there were several figures gathered. Their eyes were solemn and blazing as they stared at the Spirit Subduing Mountain in the distance.
At this time, there was dark green toxic qi rising and spreading around the Spirit Subduing Mountain. Even from a distance away, the aura could still be felt.
“It's been half a day, could something have happened to Yaoyao?!” In the center of the several shadows was a beautiful figure whose face was crossed with worry.
It was Zuoqiu Qingyu.
Beside her were Blind Sword Li Chunjun and Ning Zhan, whose brows were also knitted in a tight frown.
“Is Luluo not back yet?” Ning Zhan asked.
Zuoqiu Qingyu shook her head. The reason they had gathered here was because they had received a message from within the Heavenly Ghost Sect. They knew that the source of the information should be Zhen Xu.
Recently the Heavenly Ghost Sect and the Sacred Palace were acting very close. Since Yaoyao was trapped in an area close to the Heavenly Ghost Sect, it most likely involved the Heavenly Ghost Sect.
Therefore, Zhen Xu did not appear, but he still secretly pa.s.sed the information to Zuoqiu Qingyu, Li Chunjun and the others.
Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others both understood Zhen Xu’s reason for acting this way. Given his status in the Heavenly Ghost Sect, there weren’t many things he could change. Moreover, given the circ.u.mstances, he still took a risk to pa.s.s them a message, which, given his cold and detached personality, was already a sign that he valued his friends.h.i.+p with Zhou Yuan.
“Wait another half an hour.”
After a period of silence, Li Chunjun said, “If n.o.body from the Cangxuan Sect comes to the rescue, then we will prepare to break into the mountain.”
Zuoqiu Qingyu exclaimed in shock, “Are you crazy? There are two Sacred Palace Chosen standing guard!”
“So what?” Li Chunjun stroked the heavy black sword on his back, grinning. “I have cultivated a sword qi in the Sword Seeker Sect for a period of time and want to try it against a Chosen.”
“The Acc.u.mulation Sword technique of your Sword Seeker Sect mustn’t be used recklessly! Otherwise all your efforts will go to waste!” Zuoqiu Qingyu reminded him in a serious voice.
Li Chunjun smiled and did not answer, but his curved lips were a sign of his unwavering determination.
Ning Zhan sighed, slowly pulling up his sleeve to reveal a sinister-looking black serpent pattern on his arm. It exuded a terrifying and ferocious qi.
“Since Blind Sword is trying so hard, I must also do the same,” Ning Zhan said.
“My master has sealed the soul of a black serpent spirit into my arm and asked me to gradually control its vicious nature so that I will be able to use it one day. But it seems I might need to unseal it earlier than I imagined.”
If it was unsealed early, however, even he might not be able to withstand its power. Furthermore, even if he could, once the black serpent spirit was released, it would inevitably flee and he would not be able to recapture it since he lacked the strength to do so. This time there were no sect elders nearby to aid him.
When he returned to the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall, it would no doubt be difficult to explain his actions.
Li Chunjun darted his eyes that were wrapped in black cloth over to Ning Zhan and asked with a smile, “No regrets?”
Ning Zhan shrugged and grinned. “Who would I be afraid of?”
Seeing this, Zuoqiu Qingyu let out a sigh. How could she not know that both Li Chunjun and Ning Zhan had trump cards? Even so, their odds of beating a Chosen weren’t high. They were also evidently aware of this, yet they were still choosing to take action. This warmed Zuoqiu Qingyu’s heart a bit. The friends from the Cangmang Continent did not become cold and detached with one another as a result of separating into different sects.
“While you are distracting them, I'll sneak into the Spirit Subduing Mountain to see if I can get Yaoyao out,” Zuoqiu Qingyu said.
Li Chunjun nodded, turned to Ning Zhan and asked, “Ready?”
Clasping the scarlet-and-gold stick on his back, Ning Zhan’s eyes blazed with intense battle intent.
“Let's do it!” he said.
They all knew that once they acted they couldn’t turn back.
But at this very moment, they had no other choice to do otherwise.
