Chapter 779 – Entering The Hallowed Grounds Again! (1/2)

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yan vanished on the spot.

But it wasn’t long before he appeared in front of Yang Ye again. However, he had quite an unsightly expression on his face.

“Someone from the Hallowed Grounds created a spatial pa.s.sageway, and 2 supreme experts came to the city. They took Ding Shaoyao and… and Little Yao. If I hadn’t returned in time, then even Su Qings.h.i.+ and Xiao Yuxi would probably have been captured by them as well.”

Lu Yan spoke in a low voice, “Before they left, they said that if you want to save the two of them, then you must head to the Hallowed Grounds, and you must bring the Stone of Suppression along.”

Mu Qingfeng instantly revealed shock and terror in her eyes when she heard Lu Yan.

“Looks like I was still too naïve!” Yang Ye took a deep breath and said, “The Hallowed Grounds. Good. Very good….”

Yang Ye’s voice was very calm, but everyone here felt a strand of indescribable coldness.

“So the Hallowed Grounds wanted to use us to crush Profounder Continent!” Meanwhile, the black robed old man suddenly said, “You’ve been used by the Hallowed Grounds, and so have we. Wouldn’t we be allowing the Hallowed Grounds to succeed if we were to fight and kill each other? How about we retreat from Profounder Continent right now?”

“Kill them!” It was Yang Ye who spoke these words. Forgive and forget? What a joke!

They’d naturally chosen to do that because Elder Mu and Lu Yan were here. Once they were allowed to leave, it would absolutely be no different than breeding calamity for the future. Moreover, when the defiant profounders arrived here again, it wouldn’t be just a few dozen, it would be thousands!

In his opinion, the Hallowed Grounds was his enemy, and the defiant profounders were his enemy as well!

Elder Mu and Lu Yan didn’t hesitate to attack.

“Do you really think we fear you? I’ll definitely wash the entire continent in blood once I’ve killed all of you today!” The black robed old man roared furiously, and then a huge explosion resounded in the horizon.

“Yang Ye….” Mu Qingfeng gazed at Yang Ye, and there was shock, terror, and vigilance in her eyes.

Yang Ye waved his hand and said, “You can leave!”

“You… you aren’t going to kill me?” Mu Qingfeng revealed a trace of surprise in her eyes.

“Were you aware of their true intentions?” Yang Ye gazed at Mu Qingfeng as he asked this question.

She shook her head and said, “They really did send me here to see peace with Profounder Continent. But now it would seem like that wasn’t their objective. It was merely to utilize the relations.h.i.+p between my Lunar Rite Hall and you to trick into going to the Hallowed Grounds. If the defiant profounders hadn’t arrived here, then you should probably be at the Hallowed Grounds by now. At that time, coupled with the fact that your loved ones would be in their hands, they would threaten you to fight on their behalf even if they don’t kill you!”

“Send a message to the Hallowed Grounds for me. Tell them that I’ll be going to the Hallowed Grounds very soon. Besides that, if anything happens to Little Yao and Shaoyao, then I’ll be a worse defiant profounder than the defiant profounders. Trust me, I’m capable of anything and everything!” Yang Ye had his eyes closed while powerful sword intent surged incessantly from within him, and even the s.p.a.ce around him trembled.

Mu Qingfeng gazed at Yang Ye for a short while, and then she sighed softly, “I never expected it to be like this. I’m sorry….” She left once she finished speaking.

Meanwhile, the battle had come to an end as well.

All the defiant profounders had perished. While they were very strong, and it was especially so for the black robed old man. However, how could they be a match for Elder Mu and Lu Yan?

Elder Mu and Lu Yan were on par with Supreme Exalt He!

Yang Ye put their corpses away, and then he gazed at the members of the Mermaid Clan. Besides Qianlan, all the others from the Mermaid Clan hurriedly bowed slightly to Yang Ye and said, “Sword Master, thank you for saving our lives!”

Yang Ye nodded, and then his gaze descended onto Qianlan. He naturally recognized her because she was the one who’d given him the Watersoul that day. However, she was very weak then.

“You’re from the Nether Pavilion? What’s your relations.h.i.+p to Nether Maiden?” asked Yang Ye.

“Mortal enemies!” replied Qianlan.

“Why?” Yang Ye frowned.

She answered, “I can’t tell you that!”

Yang Ye nodded and said, “What do you plan to do now?”

She replied, “Kill the defiant profounders and take revenge!”

Yang Ye said, “How about returning to Ancient Domain City with me?”

Qianlan shook her head and said, “I want to guard this place. Otherwise, even more members of the oceanic clans will die if the defiant profounders come here!”

Yang Ye said, “You’re right!” When he spoke up to this point, he gazed at Elder Mu and Lu Yan, “Elder Mu, Senior Lu, can you destroy that teleportation formation that links the continent to the Hallowed Grounds?”
