Chapter 2685: Setting Off (1/2)
Jian Chen smiled gently. “The supreme prodigies here all experienced fear as soon as the Life-devouring Beasts were mentioned. They are frightened by them, yet miss Qian chooses to advance courageously, opting to face the Life-devouring Beasts by entering the Two World Mountains. Just that courage and boldness alone is enough to determine that miss Qian’s future will be exceptional.”
He Qianqian looked at Jian Chen. Her eyes, cold enough to form a layer of frost, were slightly surprised. “Yang Yutian, you’re rather bold as well. I don’t see any fear or dread in your eyes at all. I wonder why you are so fearless, or what kind of trump card you are hiding that makes you so unafraid of the Life-devouring Beasts.”
He Qianqian continued, “If you are ignorant of the strength and danger that the Life-devouring Beasts pose, then I must warn you. We may have several hundred thousand people here, including many Godkings and sacrificial soldiers, but in the eyes of the Life-devouring Beasts, we are only a slightly larger ant. If we unfortunately come across a Primordial realm Life-devouring Beast, we will probably be annihilated.”
“Of course, if you really are relying on a hidden trump card, I still must warn you that you better off take things seriously. Life-devouring Beasts are far more troublesome than you imagine them to be. Do you really think that whatever you’re hiding is stronger than us, the outstanding descendants and disciples of various peak organisation across the Saints’ World who have practised the greater cultivation methods and battle skills?”
There was a hint of disdain in He Qianqian’s voice. She was slightly haughty.
Her disdain was not directed towards Jian Chen’s strength. Since he could reach Godking within a thousand years, his talent was already no worse than her own. What really made He Qianqian take Jian Chen lightly was his background.
He Qianqian did not say much to Jian Chen. After a solemn warning, she directly went to discuss with the leaders of the other organisations.
As he watched He Qianqian travel into the distance, the corner of Jian Chen’s lips curled up slightly, turning into a gentle smile.
“What? Qianqian, you’re mad! You actually want to cross the Two World Mountains…”
“He Qianqian, calm down. You have no idea how terrifying the mountains are. You mustn’t act recklessly…”
“He Qianqian, the danger in the Two World Mountains exceeds anything that you can imagine. You must not set foot in there…”
……
…
Very soon, a series of cries rang out from nearby, followed by the mixed sound of argument. Many leaders did their best to try and convince He Qianqian. Even more people stood there with warped expressions, looking at He Qianqian with hostility.
These people were all reluctant to set foot in the Two World Mountains. They had always tried to convince everyone else and Jin Hong so that everyone would return with them. If they all left together, they would have plenty of excuses to avoid the blame even if they had failed the missions from their clans.
However, if a portion of them chose to cross the Two World Mountains while they chose to retreat like cowards, they would become disgraces.
As a result, He Qianqian’s suggestion of crossing the Two World Mountains led to hostility from some people.
“I’ve already made up my mind. Please set off with me if you are willing to cross the Two World Mountains with our Heavenly Crane clan. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you to do anything,” He Qianqian looked around at the people around her and said loudly. At that moment, she seemed like a female hero, completely fearless of death.
Many people’s faces warped. They looked at one another, stuck between a rock and a hard place.
