Vol 3 Chapter 89 (1/2)
The Ancient Fortress
The Ancient Fortress was actually a gigantic floating city that was suspending in mid-air
It was es!
Yi Ping wondered how this big city could stay afloat just like this It seemed to be familiar to the Stellar Sanctuary in many ways Could this Ancient Fortress be a mystery artefect from the Great Beyond too?
Just as Yi Ping wondered how they were going to go up, the Great Lord Xuan Yuan said, “Do you have your own stead? Why don’t we fly up to the City of the Gods?”
He took a lance at the Goddess Aeris at the same time That was because he had killed her stead and could see the painful expressions that were on her
Yi Ping thought, “The City of the Gods? Heto the Ancient Fortress So that must be its other name”
At the same time, he answered “No, I don’t have a stead I have come alone”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan looked at Yi Ping sternly but Yi Ping returned a steadfast look at hihed aloud, “I am just astonished that you do not have your own stead even though I can sniff the scent of Kirin on you”
Yi Ping s’s scent”
But he said firmly, “I do not have one with me now”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan said, “Doesn’t matter Follow me on foot then”
And with a flash, he had leapt on top of the ridge, “I hope that the two of you can keep up with my pace or I will be none the pleased”
The Goddess Aeris lowered her eyes and said, “Yes, my lord”
Yi Ping had no other choice but to follow him
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan had actually taken them to the plains below
The haste that was displayed by the Great Lord Xuan Yuan was astonishi+ng and it had only taken theo down the plains!
Yi Ping was startled but he did not give it away He thought, “We are supposed to go up to the Ancient Fortress but why are we going further and further away?”
Very soon Yi Ping was on the plains below but what he had seen was disturbing to hi heavy blocks of stones around steep stone monument pyramids!
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan said haughtily, “What do you think of my city? Isn’t it beautiful?”
Yi Ping said unhappily, “Your city !”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan gave asmile, “Those are our slaves Mortals and Immortals simply don’t mix Aren’t you a little sentimental for an Immortal?
Just as Yi Ping was about to argue further, the Goddess Aeris said “He is from the Borderlands, re heat of the other side Maybe he has been away for too long and has never seen so many mortals before”
Yi Ping was jolted as he thought, “There are mortals here?”
His thoughts quickly translated into curiosity as he asked, “There are mortals here?”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan smiled wryly, “It see The mortals here are a result of a freak unison between the Desolate Immortals Nor Or maybe we are actually capable of it but it rarely happens Or it is because of this realm that we are in”
He raised his fist, “They are mortals and their lives have little consequences to us”
The Goddess Aeris stole a sly glance at Yi Ping as she said to the Great Lord Xuan Yuan, “Soolden eyes half-immortals”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan hummed coldly, “And we have al else but troubleus and yet they dare to incite the ainst us Since they want to be on the same level as the mortals then so shall it be Only the true is”
Yi Ping hummed coldly, “You should not be so callous…”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan stared coldly at him, “You do not tell me what to do or you will find it to be a terrible mistake…”
Just as Yi Ping was about to say so, the Goddess Aeris had pointed to a direction and hurriedly said “Look!”
A group of elevenspeed and they all had scarlet eyes!
Yi Ping immediately knew that they were Desolate Immortals!
They were all Sixth Positioning I the
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan did not seem to be startled as he turned to look at them coolly
The leader of the group began to bow respectfully as he said hurriedly, “Our honorable respect to the Great Lord Xuan Yuan and Great Goddess Aeris, we didn’t know that you are here Your humble servant Asatru pays my respects to you”
The leader of the group looked at Yi Ping, not knohat to address him But anyone that was in the coreat important
Yi Ping saw his subtle expression and said indifferently, “You can call ”
The leader of the group i…”
All eleven of the fear
That was because the Great Lord Xuan Yuan had rarely descended from the Ancient Fortress except on official business and the reasons were often not good Also, they could see that the Great Lord Xuan Yuan, the Great Goddess Aeris and this Lord Ping had just been through a terrible fight; they wondered what exactly had happened…
The Goddess Aeris s called a Great Goddess”
The leader of the group shi+fted uncoer or a beautiful compliment
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan smiled wryly, “There is no need for anyone of you to worry unduly I just have a duel with this Lord Yi Ping In the process, some of our steads are lost So I want you to take the them up to my palace in the City of the Gods”
The leader of the group stammered, “Yes, ill do as your sire commands…”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan interrupted coolly, “You and yourthem to me without any delay”
He paused briefly to give a sly suests, is that understood?”
The leader of the group immediately understood the subtle intentions so he quickly said, “I will escort them personally without any delay”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan so to other places?”
The leader of the group immediately said, “That will not happen We have a hundred desolate immortals to watch over him!”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan nodded and suest and I don’t want anything to happen to hiht and I don’t want the other iive you a divine sword as a reward”
He smiled coldly, “But if you fail, I will execute all the escorts personally”
The leader of the group turned ashen and he quickly replied firmly, “I will not let your sire down!”
Yi Ping sht, “Isn’t it obvious that he is asking them to watch over me warily?”
As though the Great Lord Xuan Yuan understood what he was thinking about, he gave Yi Ping a so But you should at least talk to my consort-to-be for a little while first After all, you won’t have a lot of chances in the future”
He gave Yi Ping a blank stare as though he was saying to Yi Ping, “So your weakness is her, aht? Then you will surely come quietly to my palace”
Yi Ping shrugged his shoulders as he sighed softly, thinking to hiet into this mess?
The Goddess Aeris lowered her glances to say softly, “Do I have to go too? Don’t I have to prepare for the day of my honor tomorrow?”
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan said e to your clan for you You will stay at ht”
When he had finished saying, he gave ashout to the heavens!
So terrifying was hisand the rest were repulsed several steps from him!
And ion burst fro speed!
Yi Ping was startled at the sight of this dragon for it was ten tion that he had seen earlier!
The Great Lord Xuan Yuan laughed, “My divine stead has coers, I will surely bring you up on her”
The gigantic crion slide doith thunderous explosive windforce but it never touched down for the Great Lord Xuan Yuan had already leapt onto her and in a blink of an eye, they had disappeared within the shadows of the massively Ancient Fortress!
The leader of the group said to Yi Ping with a cold so now?”
Yi Ping nodded slohile the Goddess Aeris looked at Yi Ping discreetly before she said aloud, “So what are aiting for? Let us move on hastily then”
She took a look at Yi Ping before saying coolly to hiht with the Great Lord Xuan Yuan and you live to tell about it I don’t knoho you are but you are wiser to stay where you are…”
All of a sudden she gasped because Yi Ping took great stride forward as he said jovially, “What are aiting for? I have never seen the great palace of the Great Lord Xuan Yuan before and I am all too curious about it”
The Goddess Aeris leapt next to hiently, “You are too i!”
