Chapter 764: Asking For Peace? (1/2)
Standing on an ancient starship that was berthed right outside the hemispherical continent, Yuna, the Phantasm expert, said, gazing forward, “This is it.”
Beside her was berthed a starship that was filled with Demons, Blackscales, and Birdmen. A young, high-tier Demon with a face as beautiful as a female’s was standing at the prow.
Even though he looked very young, he gave off a very ancient feeling, as if life had tempered him for millennia.
All of the other Demons, Blackscales, and Birdmen kept a considerable distance from him, as if to show their respect.
Eyebrows furrowed, he said in a gentle voice, “Yuna, you should be able to tell that this continent is wreathed in flesh auras of powerful Ancientspirits and experts of our races. According to ancient records, we were on the losing side of the ultimate war that broke out here. Many grand patriarchs of our races died during the war.”
Yuna was graceful and curvaceous like a tempting female serpent. Every inch of her exuded a mature and intoxicating quality.
Nodding slightly, she said, “That’s right. But you have to know, Terry, that the Ancientspirits weren’t the winners either. After the war, the entire domain was destroyed, with every single realm reduced to fragments.
“Soon after we evacuated from here, the Ancientspirits also left here for good.
“If it were up to me, I’d say neither side won. It’s just that we were in such a hurry to evacuate that we failed to take the corpses of our dead grand patriarchs away with us.”
The eighth grade Demon expert, who she referred to as Terry, then said, “Why is this continent still relatively intact? And why are the flesh auras of our deceased grand patriarchs and powerful Ancientspirits still gathered around it after so many years?”
Yuna pursed her lips into a smile and said, “We came to find the answer, didn’t we?”
While the two of them talked, the other outsiders listened in complete silence. No one dared to make a sound.
The outsiders attached great importance to hierarchy. Higher-tier outsiders had absolute authority over lower-tier ones.
Yuna and Terry were both eighth grade experts, only one step away from entering the ninth grade. Once they made that step, they would become grand patriarchs of their own races, and enjoy an unchallenged and lofty status throughout their races.
The two of them exchanged a glance, and Yuna asked, “You go first, or should I?”
“Let me check out the situation first.” With a faint smile, Terry jumped off the Demons’ ancient starship and flew towards the atmosphere of mixed auras in a manner as if he were strolling idly in his courtyard.
…
On the floating continent.
After pushing the stone gate open, Nie Tian wasn’t in a hurry to go anywhere. Instead, he just gazed up into the sky with a grim expression.
Even separated by a great distance, he was sensing heavy pressure from the two eighth grade outsiders’ torrential flesh auras.
He knew perfectly well that outsiders were now gathered right outside this floating continent.
Right now, he was worried that the atmosphere of mixed auras would not only fail to stop the outsiders from entering, but even be used to strengthen them.
Yue Yanxi’s voice echoed out, “Nie Tian, will the Vitality-returning Celestial Stone work on outsiders?”
Nie Tian took a deep breath. “I don’t know. There are two eighth grade experts among the outsiders who have come.”
Yue Yanxi’s expression instantly grew less intense. “Just two?”
After a moment of hesitation, he said with confidence, “Let me talk to Guan Pu and Jian Gao! We can let them take shelter in this palace for the time being, along with their sect members. They need to recover their strength as soon as possible so that we’ll be able to fight the outsiders together when they swarm in here.”
Guan Fu was at the middle Void domain and Jian Gao was at the early Void domain.
Jian Gao hadn’t sustained any injuries recently. He had just been drained of his spiritual power by the Vitality-returning Celestial Stone.
Guan Fu, on the other hand, had sustained serious injuries when they had come to this continent. However, since he was at the middle Void domain, he would still be a strong force after getting his spiritual power back.
Most importantly, the Divine Flame Sect didn’t have any feuds with the Jian Clan or the Guan Clan. Yue Yanxi had been rather close to the two of them.
