Chapter 1259 Secret Means (1/2)
“The situation seems very favorable to us!”
Beyond Ancestral Spirit Mountain, Ai Qing was surveying the battlefields. She was surprised to find that Wanshou Heaven occupied the more favorable situation while people from the Evil Beast Clan frequently died on the battle platforms.
But after saying that, Ai Qing cast an apologetic glance at Zhou Yuan because if Wanshou Heaven were able to easily suppress the Evil Beast Clan, Zhou Yuan likely wouldn’t need to act Given Ai Zhi’s personality, he would no doubt create troubles because of that.
”Zhou Yuan, don’t worry. My Little Aunt will fulfil what she said,” said Ai Qing reassuringly.
Zhou Yuan didn't respond to her because his gaze was also focussed on the several battle platforms on the Ancestral Spirit Mountain.
On the surface, Wanshou Heaven indeed seemed to occupy the favorable situation, but this on the contrary, made him scrunch his brows in a frown. It wasn’t that he was unhappy to see Wanshou Heaven prevailing. Although he wasn’t on good terms with Ai Zhi and Jiang Ba, he wouldn’t put his anger on the entire Wanshou Heaven.
It was just that he was surprised that the Evil Beast Clan clearly came prepared yet was suppressed by the Wanshou Heaven. This didn’t make sense from a rational point of view.
Moreover…
”If the Wanshou Heaven could gain the upper hand so easily, why hadn’t they made any progress in the past month?” asked Zhou Yuan.
Ai Qing looked taken aback. The Wanshou Heaven indeed didn’t seem to have made much progress in the past month and hadn’t even figured out the Evil Beast Clan’s background.
”What do you mean by that?” Ai Qing asked anxiously.
Zhou Yuan didn’t answer her because he also didn’t know what the Evil Beast Clan had planned. If they were just disguising their strength and acting weak, what good would it be for them to continue to sacrifice their troops?
The uneasy feeling in his heart deepened.
What was the Evil Beast Clan trying to do?
He peered at the several battle platforms on Ancestral Spirit Mountain. After a long while, a light flashed on his face and Saint Runes appeared in his eyes’ depths.
Decoder Saint Rune!
As Saint Runes drifted around his eyes, the scene before him suddenly looked different.
It seemed to be a blood-red world with endless plumes of fiendish qi rising from the Ancestral Spirit Mountain that blotted out the sky. The scene was enough to make one’s scalp feel numb.
The fiendish qi were so strong that even his Spirit couldn’t spread in. However, with this Decoder Saint Rune’s power, he discovered something abnormal.
He saw tiny vortexes scattered disorderly above the Ancestral Spirit Mountain. However, they were growing at an astonishing speed. They were drawing ups the vast fiendish powers emitting from the Ancestral Spirit Mountain.
“Those vortexes…”
Zhou Yuan's heart trembled because he realized the vortexes’ locations were where evil beasts lost their lives.
Zhou Yuan’s scalp numbed. Could the evil beasts have deliberately given away their lives to use it as a medium to create those blood-red vortexes? What was their motive?
Zhou Yuan didn’t understand the vortexes’ purpose, but he knew they were the Evil Beast Clan’s secret plan.
”Huh? Some of the blood-red vortexes are connecting.”
Zhou Yuan noticed that the blood-red vortexes were gradually connecting and moving along a trajectory. The trajectory was particularly obscure and complicated. He tried to follow it, but found that even his Spirit, which was at the advanced Transformative stage, quivered and was unable to follow the trajectory.
What did that mean? It meant that not even a Spirit of the advanced Transformative stage could comprehend the arrangement.
With a trembling heart, Zhou Yuan shifted his gaze to the place where the trajectory last appeared.
It was a battle platform on the mountainside, which wasn’t considered too eye-catching among the others.
There stood a black-robed figure.
