Chapter 235: A Stone Egg was Born (1) (2/2)

A depressed atmosphere lingered over the Heavenly Grotto of the Nine Saint Demon Gate inside the city. The group of Li Shuangyan, along with Chi Yun’s people, were both unhappy.

It had been twenty days since Li Qiye departed with the Underworld Boat, and there has been no news. Of course, needless to say, Li Shuangyan and Chen Baojiao were very worried as they prayed for Li Qiye. They hoped that Li Qiye could create another miracle and come back safely. Even though they had great confidence in him, there was still unrest in their hearts.

At the end of the day, this was the Underworld Boat ah. Since the ages, very few people returned from the Underworld Boats alive, unless they were the near-death and chose the correct life-boats. However, this was not the case for Li Qiye.

As for the group of Tu Buyu, they were first shocked when they heard about Li Qiye boarding the boat. This was the craziest thing they had ever heard in their entire life.

“Oldest brother is sure to return triumphantly!” Nan Huairen swore with this phrase as his trust in Li Qiye exploded! However, after twenty days pa.s.sed, Li Qiye still had not returned. Not to mention the other disciples, even Nan Huairen — who had unwavering confidence in Li Qiye — began to worry.

Amongst them, the most rea.s.sured was Niu Fen. Niu Fen had been to the deepest part of the burial ground on an expedition, so he murmured: “Even the Heavenly Ancient Corpse Burial Ground will not be able to stop Young Lord’s return!”

As for the elders of the Nine Saint Demon Gate and Chi Yun, they were even more worried, but their concern was not simply only for Li Qiye’s safety!

Their Nine Saint Demon Gate guaranteed success for the War G.o.d Temple. Even though Li Qiye was the one who conducted the business with the War G.o.d Temple during this Underworld Boat burial, their Nine Saint Demon Gate also paid a huge price as guarantee. Even their Demon King had to stay behind inside the War G.o.d Temple. If Li Qiye really didn’t come back, then it would be big trouble!

Even a few elders of the War G.o.d Temple did not leave. They chose to stay behind in Ancient Sky City to wait for news regarding Li Qiye for they wanted to see if he could come back alive. If he was able to, then their confidence in this trade would be much greater.

“Twenty days has pa.s.sed already!” Inside the mansion, Chen Baojiao sat next to the window with her chin propped up by her hands while staring at the sky! Chen Baojiao could be considered a crazed cultivator even though she was a supreme beauty. She crazily trained harder and put out more effort than anyone! No matter the occasion, she wouldn’t waste time sitting idly by without cultivating!

But in the last twenty days, Chen Baojiao was quite restless and had no desire to cultivate or to eat. Day by day, she waited for her young n.o.ble to come back. However, as the days pa.s.sed by, she became increasingly worried about the absence of their young n.o.ble.

“He will come back. He is even more powerful than our imaginations!” Li Shuangyan sat to the side with her cold and aloof demeanor. However, at this minute, there was a lingering sorrow unhideable in the middle of her beautiful brows.

Even though Li Shuangyan was saying such things, her heart was still at a loss. In the end, this was the Underworld Boat they were talking about, and twenty days had pa.s.sed as well!

Li Qiye told them that, if he did not return in half a month, they have to leave and bring the juniors back to the Cleansing Incense Ancient Sect. However, twenty days had pa.s.sed and they were not willing to leave. They were still hoping for their young n.o.ble to return.

Today, Ancient Sky City was sunny with a cloudless sky — this was a good day.

“Xshhh--” At this moment, in the wide cloudless sky, there was a sudden sharp noise piercing above as a star pa.s.sed over Ancient Sky City.

“Meteor…” Many people looked up and said: “No, it is not a meteor, it is a person!”

A person was shooting across the sky with an extreme speed — just like a burning meteor — as his entire body was bursting in flames.

“It is Li Qiye…” Even though the speed was very swift, there was still a Royal n.o.ble with sharp eyesight and was able to discern the person burning with raging fire in a flash.

Having heard this, many cultivators present were shocked. A great character lost his voice in exclamation: “Impossible, I clearly saw him ride an Underworld Boat, flowing away!”

“It really is Li Qiye!” At this time, more than just one person recognized that the burning man was truly Li Qiye.

Momentarily, many great characters were amazed that Li Qiye came back alive!

“This kid is truly too scary!” No matter whether they were royal lords or sect masters from the previous generations, or even some secluded undyings, all of them were greatly alarmed.

“Being able to come back alive after riding the Underworld Boat, this is extremely devilis.h.!.+” In just a second, countless people glanced at each other and felt that this matter was impossible.

“Boom!” With a loud knock, the Heavenly Grotto of the Nine Saint Demon Gate was pierced through, frightening everyone inside.

“What happened…” The group of Chi Yun jolted because, after the attack from the Heavenly G.o.d Sect last time, the Nine Saint Demon Gate became more vigilant. Countless disciples rushed to the scene of occurrence.
