Chapter 790 - Dont Worry, Im Just Looking (1/2)

Shao Xuan’s eyes were burning, even keeping them open was difficult. It felt as if someone was hammering his brain, everything seemed to boom and it hurt badly. There was a piercing ringing in his ears and he wondered if he was going deaf. Everything was a mess of sounds, as if every animal in the forest cried at the same time, sometimes like a noisy crowd of people talking over each other. Yet it all felt imaginary because covering his ears was useless. The sounds continued to pour into his ears.

He did not know why this was happening either. He was just practising the eight knots and as he became better at them, he suddenly felt his surrounding change and a strong discomfort… like he had entered another world! Shao Xuan could no longer sense Chacha’s presence.

At first, he was unable to see but he switched to his extraordinary vision and finally saw something. There were masses of light in front… no, they were people!

More specifically, there were red and white people-shaped flames. The colour of the Yi family fire seed.

Soon, the discomfort faded and the sounds in his ears faded to nothing. Everything returned to silence. Removing his hands from his ears, he stood up and looked at the light. Switching to his regular vision, everything was similar to what his special vision saw. Just darkness everywhere, infinite darkness.

Only the congregation of light masses stood out here.

“Shao Xuan of Flaming Horn?!”

This voice was filled with shock, refusing to believe that Shao Xuan was really there.

Shao Xuan looked over. As his body quickly got accustomed to the place, he could slowly sense his surroundings, even feeling the speaker’s aura and hearing the voice.

“Yi Qi?” Shao Xuan looked at one of the silhouettes. He could not see its face but recognised him from his voice and aura. He also recognised Yi Cong next to Yi Qi.

“So it indeed is you! How did you come?!” Yi Qi did not understand. How did Shao Xuan follow them here? Didn’t he previously ask them for the method? Neither of them answered his question nor taught him how to enter this space. Shao Xuan was not even a Yi family member!

Did Shao Xuan have Yi blood?

More than one person wondered this, even the three elders wondered for a moment. However, the proof before their eyes confirmed that Shao Xuan did not have a Yi person’s aura on him because there was no Yi fire seed power in him! The flames were of a different colour!

He did not have Yi blood or the Yi fire seed’s power. So how did this tribesman enter this space?

They could not understand! Something impossible had just happened. It was maddening.

“Where did you learn knot divination?” asked Yi Tuan.

Shao Xuan looked at Yi Tuan and the two figures next to him. These three silhouettes were the clearest  and most solid among the crowd, unlike other people who would have the occasional flames sprouting out of their silhouette.

“I learned it by chance,” said Shao Xuan. Shao Xuan was very curious too. What was this place? He had managed to enter but understood nothing. Yi Cong and Yi Qi had been gone for several days- he had spent two or three just learning the knots, then another two days learning to tie them consecutively. It was about four to five days by now. But where was the legendary ‘Yi Xiang’? Did they not say there was a war coming? Why hasn’t anything started yet?”

“Nonsense, you must be working with Yi Xiang!” said someone in the crowd. However, Yi Tuan raised a hand and the simmering conversations turned to silence.

“What are your intentions?” asked Yi Tuan.

Shao xaun felt like a long invisible sword was pointing at himself. One mistake and the blade would slice him.

“I’ve always heard about how the Yi family is different so I was curious. I came here by accident too, I was just making knots and then I arrived. Don’t worry, I’m just looking,” said Shao Xuan. He suddenly thought of a problem. He knew how to get in but not out.

I didn’t think this through.

Shoa Xuan did not expect to get in this strange place so quickly, even preparing himself for the possibility of not ever being able to. Yi Cong had said people without Yi blood and fire seed could not anyway.

“Regardless of whether he is speaking the truth, we cannot have an uncontrollable variable during a battle,” said one elder. This meant to kick Shao Xuan out or kill him instantly.
