775 Rain Comes for the Ling Yun Tower! (1/2)
”Indeed, there will be more day of peace. However, he did spare us,” said one of the elders who turned around to look at the injured disciples.
”Perhaps…,” said another elder. He wanted to say something more but he quickly swallowed his words.
The other two elders were silent. They knew what he had wanted to say. They also knew the implications of these words.
However, there was no point in saying all these now. They had lost utterly and completely.
”Perhaps, he doesn't like to kill. Perhaps, he's the real Chosen One!” At this moment, a voice rang out from the door of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain.
”Who goes there?!” The four elders were all stunned. They looked in the direction of the voice anxiously.
After all, the Nine Pinnacles Mountain was in their sorriest state right now. They were not ready to receive any more 'guest'. After all, if someone could say these words, they surely were no guest!
”Without the Nine Cauldrons, what's the point of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain?” The plain voice rang out once more. At the same time, dozens of shadows walked out from a thick fog.
”Assume your positions and prepare to engage!” When the four elders saw the dozens of shadows, their faces all changed. Unhesitatingly, they issued these orders.
”Whoosh!”
”Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Swords aimed at the shadows. Many severely-injured disciples crawled up from the ground in agony as they stood, trembling.
”Right now, can the Nine Pinnacles Mountain still fight?” The shadow at the very front stopped. It did not seem to be in a rush as it waited there quietly.
”Rubbish! Tell me your name. If not, the Nine Pinnacles Mountain won't mind detaining you!” The four elders swiftly walked to the front of these disciples. At the same time, they tried to wipe the blood away from their mouths.
The bodies of the four elders were trembling and for the one whose arm was broken, his face was green. However, they all looked on extremely resolutely.
”Yun Qingwu.” The shadow at the front slowly raised her hand and took off her hood. Her long hair cascaded down her back and her face was pale.
”Yun Qingwu?”
”The Demon Race!”
”The Demon Young Lord, Yun Qingwu!”
The four elders trembled after they looked at each other. Their faces were all ugly because they knew that the demons were no friends of theirs.
However, they stood upright as they looked at Yun Qingwu. Then, they looked at the dozens of shadows behind her.
”The Holy Region is forbidden ground for the Demon Race. I think you, as the Demon Young Lord, should now this?” One of the elders at the front said coldly.
”Yes, I do,” said Yun Qingwu with a nod.
”So, why don't you scram?” When another elder heard that, he asked furiously.
”According to that agreement, the entry of any demon into the Holy Region is tantamount to an act of war and shall be killed indiscriminately. Now that I'm here, do you think I can leave?” Yun Qingwu was not enraged despite being shouted at by the elder. Instead, she posed this question back to him.
”Yun Qingwu. We know that you are the Demon Young Lord and hence, we decide to be merciful. Do you really want to die here?” The faces of the four elders turned dark.
”What's wrong with that?” Yun Qingwu asked.
”How dare you! The Demon Race has less than 100 000 soldiers. Including your father, Emperor Yun, you have fewer than eight demons who are equivalent to a human Sage. We could not care less…”
”That's right. If the five sects work together, how can the demons live until today? I believe that the demon race would have gone extinct in that big fight 100 years ago, right?” Yun Qingwu interrupted the four elders. Then, she looked up at the rising sun and said, ”However, it's a shame that the nature of the five sects will never change. Even if the Sagely Battle God, Meng Tian, could not avoid your tricks!”
”What nonsense are you saying?” The four elders said angrily.
”That's right. At that time, you have yet to enter the five sects. Then, do you remember the battle of the Ten Mile Lake outside the Flame Capital City of Great Xia?” Yun Qingwu said after she suddenly realized something.
”Since you know of the Ten Mile Lake Battle, you should know the results of your actions! Do you really want to provoke another fight between humans and demons?”
”No, I don't want to provoke another fight between humans and demons,” said Yun Qingwu as she shook her head. Then, a light flashed across her eyes as she said, ”I want to start a fight among the humans, demons, and monsters!”
”What?!”
”A fight among the three races. Do you want to…”
”That's impossible. The Monster Race will never help you. You are seeking your own destruction!”
When the four elders heard this, they instantly felt that something was terribly amiss. They could not believe it. Perhaps they did not want to do so.
”Roar!” Suddenly, a beastly roar could be heard.
At the same time, the five shadows which stood behind Yun Qingwu rushed toward the four elders. The wind blew off their hoods and revealed five pairs of eyes, all of which were in different colors. However, they were all dark and murderous.
”The Monster Race!”
”Monster Kings! Five Monster Kings!”
”How dare you, Yun Qingwu!”
The eyeballs of the four elders rolled. They were enraged. However, when they saw these eye, their hearts sank.
They felt utterly hopeless!
Not only were they helpless, but they were also deeply unwilling!
As one of the five sects of the Holy Region, the elders of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain did not fear Monster Kings. Had it been any other place and time, these five Monster Kings could not do anything to them.
However, the situation now was different…
Right now, the appearance of these five Monster Kings was not just a simple threat. They were all butchers, bloodthirsty butchers.
”Quick, tell the other four sects. The Monster Race…”
”Slicck!” The sound of a body being torn apart could be heard right afterward. Then, a pair of demonic and murderous eyes swept the surroundings as it licked its lips.
It was a bloodbath. It was a bloody and cruel carnage. Blood flew everywhere in the sky, turning the ground of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain even redder. Like the Ten Mile Lake outside the Flame Capital City, every single piece of rock was stained with red blood, which shone like the sun.
As the massacre took place, Yun Qingwu stood where she was. She looked into the sky at where a figure had previously disappeared as she mumbled quietly.
”Perhaps, you don't like killing and you're the real Chosen One.”
”I think… you will hate me after you hear of this. You may even want to kill me.”
”Yes, I used you, but I also delivered vengeance.”
”The war between you and I can never be avoided…”
”It's not because you are a human and I'm a demon…. but it's because you will never know the reason why this world exists!”
…
Ten days later.
