Chapter 777 – Profounder Continent Is In Danger! (1/2)
Yang Ye’s expression became extremely solemn when he heard this.
The barrier between the Hallowed Grounds and Profounder Continent was gone! What did that represent? It represented that it would be extremely easy for both the Hallowed Grounds and the defiant profounders to attack Profounder Continent!
Yang Ye had decided to work together with the Hallowed Grounds when he heard up to this point. He would absolutely not work together with them if he was all alone. He was confident to face everything with just his sword in his hand. Yet now, he had to think for the others on Profounder Continent who were on his side.
He could take his loved ones with him and flee, and he had the ability to protect himself, but what about the others on the continent? For example, the Ding Clan, the Qin Clan, the disciples of the Sword Sect, and many others who were following him. Would they be able to flee? Definitely not! They wouldn’t even be able to fight back against the defiant profounders!
In Yang Ye’s opinion, it wasn’t a burden but a responsibility, and a man should shoulder his responsibilities!
“What did the Hallowed Halls say before they sent you?” asked Yang Ye.
“They are willing to let bygones be bygones!” She replied, “The Hallowed Lord said that regardless of what enmity there is between you and the Hallowed Grounds, they are willing to forget all of it. He even said that while the Hallowed Grounds wanted to kill you in the past, it only wanted to kill you alone and had never slaughtered the others on the continent. But the defiant profounders are different, they’ll slaughter everyone on the continent besides other defiant profounders.”
“I took the Stone of Suppression!” said Yang Ye.
She replied, “It’s yours from now onward!”
Yang Ye continued, “Many people in the Hallowed Grounds want to see me dead!”
She answered, “No one will dare to act against you without permission!”
Yang Ye fell silent. He knew that the severity of the situation in the Hallowed Grounds was probably beyond his imagination. Otherwise, it was impossible for the Hallowed Grounds to make such concessions.
Yang Ye wasn’t an indecisive person, so he immediately said, “I’ll head to the Hallowed Grounds with you once I finish handling some things here.” Even though there was no conflict between him and the defiant profounders for now, Yang Ye knew that it would occur sooner or later. The defiant profounders had gone mad, and they wouldn't return to normal without killing. Moreover, killing could improve their strengths, so why would they stop?
He would definitely be asking for insult if he sought to negotiate and talk with the defiant profounders. Because they would definitely pay no attention to him!
The anxiousness Mu Qingfeng felt was finally relieved when she heard this. The reason the Hallowed Grounds had sent her was because she and Lunar Rite Hall had quite a good relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ye. So, if they sent anyone else, then that person might have been killed before that person could even speak. As far as the Hallowed Grounds was concerned, Yang Ye was absolutely capable of such a thing!
Mu Qingfeng returned to Ancient Domain City with Yang Ye. When she arrived there, she finally realized how influential Yang Ye was here. Practically everyone here had blind confidence and adoration for Yang Ye. It was like Profounder Continent would never fall while he was there!
“I’ve decided to join forces with the Hallowed Grounds!” These were the first words that Yang Ye spoke once he met Ding Shaoyao. He always discussed everything with her. It was a form of trust and respect.
“You’ve decided?” Ding Shaoyao wasn’t very surprised. As far as she was concerned, joining forces with the Hallowed Grounds was inevitable. Because amongst the 3 forces in this world, the might of the defiant profounders had practically surpa.s.sed the joint forces of the Hallowed Grounds and Profounder Continent. If the Hallowed Grounds and Profounder Continent still didn’t join forces under such circ.u.mstances, then only death would await them.
Yang Ye nodded and said, “What do you think?”
“That’s our one and only choice, and it’s the Hallowed Grounds’ only choice as well!” said Ding Shaoyao.
Yang Ye said, “Since you agree, then it’s decided! Once I’ve left, ask Elder Mu and Senior Lu to guard the teleportation formation that leads to the Hallowed Grounds and don’t allow any defiant profounders to come to the continent. Those madmen start slaughtering the moment they arrive, so kill every single one that comes here. Ask Elder Mu to preserve their corpses once they are dead!”
Suddenly, a wave of fluctuation appeared in the s.p.a.ce before Ding Shaoyao. A short while pa.s.sed before killing intent arose in her eyes. She said, “10 defiant profounders have arrived at Profounder Continent. Just as you said, they are slaughtering the oceanic clans. Even we have lost a huge amount of people. I’ve told the rest to hide!”
Meanwhile, Mu Qingfeng said, “They probably arrived her by accident. You must eliminate them as soon as possible. Otherwise, once they notify even more defiant profounders, then Profounder Continent will have to pay a horrifying price.”
A vicious glow flashed through Yang Ye’s eyes, “I haven’t even gone looking for them, yet they’ve come to look for me! Shaoyao, I’ll leave the continent to you and Biru. Qingfeng, let’s go!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ye and Mu Qingfeng’s figures vanished.
Ding Shaoyao’s expression grew more and more solemn as she looked up into the sky. She knew that Profounder Continent would cease to be peaceful from this moment onward!
…
The oceanic clans.
At this moment, the ocean was dyed red with blood while countless corpses floated on the surface of the ocean, and they formed a dense expanse that covered the ocean.
Bang!
Suddenly, a pillar of water surged up from below, and then a group of profounders with the upper bodies of humans and the lower bodies of fish shot out from within the pillar of water.
