Volume 5 Chapter 71 - Crown (1/2)
“Who is Gu Huai?” Hu Jingjing felt this name was unfamiliar so she naturally asked.
“The master of Spirit Void Sword Sect?” Li Xixing had heard of a person called Gu Huai but he was not sure.
“What? The master of Spirit Void Sword Sect!” Hu Jingjing shouted.
Hers and Li Xixing’s reactions right now appeared amusing but no one found it funny.
Ding Ning nodded seriously. “The master of Spirit Void Sword Sect.”
Li Xixing glanced at Shen Xuan who was standing by and his lack of facial change. He understood something and said, “We can try.”
“Are you all mad?” Hu Jingjing could not help but say as she looked at Ding Ning and Li Xixing.
Shen Xuan looked at this round faced young woman and thought that there finally was a normal person among the madmen.
Ding Ning looked at her and said, “Gu Huai is the same as Mo Shoucheng, they work for Zheng Xiu.”
Hu Jingjing stilled and said, “Then let’s try.”
Shen Xuan’s face immediately froze. He paused for a breath and urged Ding Ning: “Why waste time here?”
“We are not in a hurry.” Ding Ning turned to him and said, “That Tianliang person wants us to open the way for him. Gu Huai is also behind us. They may meet first.”
Shen Xuan looked up at the slaughter in the sky and said with some scorn, “Even if we meet, like these experts of the sky, they will not pick the strongest to fight unless it is the end.”
“So if we have not solved the final mystery of the ancestral land, they will not act.” Ding Ning said calmly, “This is our chance. But first we must be absolutely united to have a chance to succeed.”
Shen Xuan said coldly, “I think we are in agreement now.”
Ding Ning smiled and said, “We can go now.”
“Go where?”
He reached to point up the mountain. That place was not the tallest point of the Mountain of Ancestors but as he pointed, even Hu Jingjing saw the abnormality.
The powerful birds in the sky seemed to be avoiding that place. Other than some of the stupidest birds, almost no other birds landed there. A natural space formed like a thin ray of light fell down from the sky.
Shen Xuan moved. The primal energies of the universe he exuded easily covered Li Xixing and Hu Jingjing, forming a transparent ball that slowly floated up.
The place Ding Ning pointed out did not directly face the mountain path. They passed through the flat valley, moving upwards tens of feet until they appeared in the diagonal valley. Rather than a valley, it was just a crack in the mountain just two people wide. The inside rippled with a strange light blue mist that emanated cold energy. Thousands of beasts were roaring outside with blood and flesh raining now. The scene surpassed their imagination so this strange icy miss did not feel special to them.
They advanced along the valley. There were no surprises, but Shen Xuan was unusually careful as he moved forward. So they took some time to pass through the relatively short valley. What appeared in the sights of the quartet was a round valley. The ground was slightly sunken like this was a valley created from the impact of a meteorite.
