Chapter 258 - Searching at Thousand Feet (2/2)

“Let’s knock a few of them down!” Yi Qing instinctively drew his sword.

“You must be crazy!” Lonemoon rolled his eyes. “Do you still want to save Shortie?” Can the two of you think of better solutions other than resorting to violence? What if they triggered the other party and got chased out of the territory immediately? The Invincible Sect would lose their only sword cultivator disciple.

“What should we do then?”

“We can only keep looking.” Lonemoon looked around the ground and waved at the two of them. “I’ve been observing the way these crystal peaks move. I think they’re all floating toward the west. There’s no array in the middle that controls them, and the deeper in we get, the more temples there are around us.”

He pointed ahead and continued, “That’s why I’m guessing these crystal peaks are spinning around something circular. I think it’s a natural maze. Shortie must be deep inside. Although flying right in would be the quickest way to get there, the crystal peaks must have some sort of relationship so that there’s no way for us to get to the centre immediately…”

“Master, watch out!” Before he could finish speaking, Yi Qing suddenly grabbed Shen Ying and retreated toward the left.

Crash!

A moment later, there was a loud crash and a huge aura charged toward them, brushing the right side of Lonemoon’s body. The peaks in front of them looked like they had just exploded. The glass shards began to drop down from the sky.

On the right side, a wide road appeared. They could faintly see the temple on the innermost of the territory.

“There’s a direct route!” Shen Ying pointed to the path.

Lonemoon: “…” Son of a b*tch!

Would they have died if they grabbed him before they retreated?

凸(艹皿艹)

The next moment, two terrifying suppressive forces headed toward them, down the pathway. Even Yi Qing could not help but frown. The rest of the crystal mountains around them cracked apart.

Lonemoon set up defensive arrays all over his body. “There are people battling ahead of us. By the looks of this suppression, their cultivation levels must be…” Before he could finish speaking, his eyes widened. “I… feel Shortie’s aura. It’s right there!”

Yi Qing paused. On closer inspection, he did faintly feel a familiar aura. The two of them exchanged meaningful glances and flew down the path. The further down the path they got, the more shards of what once were crystal peaks there were. They saw remnants of temples on the way down as well.

From afar, it looked like the two figures were battling. One was dressed in green and the other was white. It was not clear how far away they were from each other, but their aura was frightening enough. Compared to the battle between Long Zhen and Feng San, this battle looked far more aggressive. The moment their frightening force brushed past him, Lonemoon felt like his immortal Qi dissipated. He raised his head to look at the two people in the sky.

Huh?

“Chef, don’t you think that person in white looks a bit familiar?”

Yi Qing looked up and nodded. “Hey, I think so.” But he could not recall who it was.

The next moment, they heard an impatient voice saying, “I already said this. I don’t know the person you’re looking for. You can ask an infinite amount of times but my answer will remain the same.”

“…” The other party did not respond.

The voice spoke again, this time sounding more heavy than before. “I’ve already saved the person you wanted me to save. It’s been so many years – why are you still hounding me?”

A moment later, a cold voice replied, “She also said… you know!”

“You…”

“Where is she?”

“Stop pushing your luck!”

The two of them began to fight again.

Why did they feel like… The latter voice sounded so familiar?
