Chances are that things always happens in ways far from what Yin Luo would hope for. The more she wants for this gourd to fly, then this gourd just won't comply with her no mather how she repeats the incantations, not even a slight movement. Ais.h.!.+ Her improficent skills!
Sitting down on the ground in the peach forest, it seems she can only wait. Two hours, it's not really long. She'll wait! Swinging her feet while sitting on the edge, the dark abyss happens to be just below.
A separation of just a thousand feet and it's completely two different worlds. Up here is abundant with flowers like a cotton blanket and below is silent depth.
The Jade Pool Xian Mountain in the Xian realm also holds quite a name for the peach blossoms that bloom year long on this mountain. These Peach trees have always just bloom flowers and never producing fruits, for ten thousands of years have always been this way. As for the reason, no one knows.
Being in this kind of Peach Forest, with peach blossom showers always in sight, and nose filled with it's fragrance, also brings a different feeling. Unconciously reaching out to catch a few petals, a light red peach color, carrying a scent of warmth. Underneath the eyes is yet again, a screen of pink, and suddenly in front of her eyes appears that figure again.
Bai Zhu! So seldom to be able to see a person that is this pleasing to the eyes, just thinking isn't overboard right? It's only a simple and scholarly name, but why is it that looking through her eyes, everything in her sight is pink? Shaking her head, she pushes away those bubbles emerging from her heart. She's Yin Luo, Yin Luo from the Divine Mountain! So whatever kind of thoughts she may have, will still have to bury it at the bottom of the heart, better yet add on many tens of layers upon it, then trample over it a few times to make sure it never comes up.
Habitually reaching into the bag at her side and withdrawing from it a piece of preserved honey, she popped it into her mouth and started chewing noisily. Flower spirits say that only preserved honeys are truly sweet, when you have it in your mouth all bitterness can be forgotten.
The surrounding suddenly quiets down, significantly different from the bustling activities ahead. The air is hazy with a strange atmosphere. Yin Luo didn't mind it in the start, since she was taking a small pa.s.sageway that only few knew of, so quietness was expected. That was until a strange smell started coming along with the fragance of peach blossoms. Yin Luo abruptly sensed that something was not right.
Listening carefully, the surrounding was quiet to a fearsome state. Bits and pieces of Xian music that was previously still there had disappeared without a trace. Standing up, wanting to clarify the strange smell in the air, enhaling a deep breath, the face instantly becomes pale.
This is....the smell of blood.
On the Jade Pool, why would there be bloodshed? Could it be, something has happened ahead? Out of time to think any more in detail, she turned back into the pa.s.sway. The closer in that direction, the thicker the scent of blood. Quickening pace, wanting to go investigate, in a slip, her foot had stepped into some sticky substance. Looking down, only see underneath her foot is a suspicious ma.s.s of red. Close by, blood comes flowing out. In that direction exactly, is the Jade Pool Party.
An unprovoked wave of nausea stirred up from her heart. Covering her mouth and taking a few steps backwards, the heart has already become a mess. What exactly had happened over there? From here to the party site, is still a distance, yet the blood is able to flow all the way here. A fierce battle must have taken place.
Moving away from the flowing blood stream under her feet and moving along while that eerie stench of blood continues to spread overwhelmingly. After making a few turns, figures begin to come into view one by one. She was about to go out there and ask, but just as she took a step out, what she saw was an even more fearsome sight.
Blood! Splattered all over the peach forest, the ground was covered with broken limbs and shreds of b.l.o.o.d.y flesh. In one glance, there's not even a sight of a complete body, only broken limbs in b.l.o.o.d.y puddles, and even what seems like crushed strands of intestines layed exposed on the red tainted ground. A gentle breeze pa.s.sed by. Those rolling things on the ground turns out to be eye b.a.l.l.s. What kind of battlefield is this? No wonder the blood would flow out that far, the corpses here could probably exceed a hundred. By looking at the clothes on those broken corpses one could tell that they are definitely the disciples from the different sects.
Yin Luo can no longer hold herself from turning around in an urge to dry vomit!
”Who there?” A shocked figure turned around to face this direction.
Yin Luo quickly turned and hid herself under a big boulder. Although she's incompetent, but that person making his way over here, that negative energy on him, she can still sense it. These people aren't from the Xian realm.
Closely pressed against the boulder, tightly clenching the jade pendant on her chest, she held her breath!
A black figure came by, cautiously took a look around.
”Strange, I obviously heard a noise? How could there be no one?”
”I think you're just too nerve-wrecked! On this Jade Pool apart from those that are already spell caged, what other survivors could there be?” Someone closeby replied.
”You're right! I didn't expect Su s.h.i.+an to actually have some use, to think up such a plan. With matters in this state, the Xian realm will definitely suffer internally. The day for our Lord to consolidate the 6 realms is getting closer.”
”This Tian Ling Zhen is really quite powerful for an array spell , only a short moment of effort and could already wipe out half of their people. But that Dan Yun and Tian Xiao are definitely deserving to be High Xian. To still be able to keep up their barriars within the Tian Ling Zhen, I'm afraid that it's only a matter of time before they will get out!” *A Zhen is a magically battle array, it could be a cage a boundary, just anything that a.s.sistance in a battle.*
”Afraid of what? Just give it another half of an hour and even if they can manage to escape, it'll be no use!”
”That's right! Who can escape the Endless Abyss?”
”Go go go, we should quickly retreat too, or else it'll be too late.”
The sounds of footsteps gradually disappeared in the distance, only then did Yin Luo come out from behind the boulder, panting deeply for her long forgotten breaths. Finally, somewhat able to get a vague understanding. Has the rivalry between the Xian realm and the realms of the Yao and Mo already gotten to the stage of 'you die and I live'?
But, she's from the realm of the G.o.d, these don't have relation to her right? If she were to put a feet into this, probably when she goes back, she'll have go go through Uncle Fu's scolding.
Rather than adding a case, less a case case is better. she had always preferred being discreet. Today, pretending to not see anything would be wiser.
Turned around and starting to walk towards that small pa.s.sway again, intentionally trying not to look at the b.l.o.o.d.y red on the ground, she forced down that nauseous feeling inside of her heart. It's nothing, nothing. This has nothing to do with her, she'll just quietly leave, should quietly leave. As if she hadn't come before, never came. Even if blood is flowing into a river over there, or that lives are slipping away.
”It's alright, since we've meet, than it's affinity. In the future I'll watch over you!”
Within her mind, suddenly surfaces his self-righteous face. Her feet slows midstep, teeth clenching and brows bunched together.
Gu Chian Fan is fine right? Did he find his teacher yet? He's very chatty, really very chatty, and likes to be nosy.
