Chapter 773: I’ll be Waiting on the Sacred Mountain (1/2)

Sustaining wound upon wound, Qianye could hardly even stand up. Yet he struggled little by little and managed to prop himself up against the wall. He then moved himself slowly to block the door, almost falling down several times along the way.

The traces of blood from the wall to the door were a ghastly sight to see.

“If you really want to die, I don’t mind helping you.” There was no pain or concern in her eyes, only coldness.

“Where is Nighteye?”

There was another fluctuation in her eyes. Moments later, she pointed at her blood core and said, “She’s here, if you insist she is the actual Nighteye.”

Nighteye’s figure appeared in Qianye’s eyes, and this time, the Monroe princess did not react, allowing her figure to grow clearer. However, the results silenced Qianye because there was neither a change in her body nor her blood energy—this was still the woman he loved deeply. But where was her spirit? Is she still the same person?

“What exactly is going on?”

“I merely awakened. The Nighteye you know is only this body’s instinct while I was asleep. Do you understand now?” Nighteye seemed impatient at having to explain so many things. She said with cold eyes, “I’m already being quite tolerant right now. Do you think I won’t kill you if you keep pestering me?”

Qianye wasn’t afraid. “Don’t tell me our past will be forgotten just like that?”

Nighteye said indifferently, “In light of your acceptable bloodline and there being no big loss for me, I’ll let things be.”

“You, who are you?”

These words aroused Nighteye’s sleeping memories. Her aura became lofty, ephemeral, and unfathomable. A single wisp of it made it difficult for Qianye to move.

“All you need to know is that my position should be on the sacred mountain.”

“Wherever you go, I’ll find you!!!” Qianye roared with all the strength he had remaining.

But Nighteye merely waved her hands and a formless wave of origin power shifted Qianye to the side.

She paused just as she was about to walk through the door. “I’ll be waiting for you on the sacred mountain.”

Then, Nighteye pushed the door open and vanished through it.

Sitting within this empty room, Qianye suddenly felt that his world had become empty and frozen.

The sky gradually turned dark.

Only when footsteps were heard outside of the courtyard did Qianye wake up from his daze. He wanted to stand up and take precautions, but his legs were weak and he nearly collapsed. The severe wound just now had almost injured his innards—if it wasn’t for the strong, semi-crystallized blood core and vortices, he might’ve damaged his foundations.

Southern Blue wasn’t safe. Now that he knew someone was coming, Qianye calmed himself down and produced a blood crystal from his collection. He then crushed the item and absorbed the blood energy within, instantly strengthening the pulsation of his blood core as the energy transformed into wisps of auric flame blood. Wherever this blood flowed past, the tissues in his body began regenerating at a rapid pace. It was just that Qianye was wounded all over, so the auric flame blood was quickly depleted and transformed back to ordinary blood.

The minimal recovery managed to stabilize Qianye’s aura. He changed into a new set of clothes, activated his Bloodline Concealment, and waited before the courtyard doors.

As expected, there was a knock on the gates before long.

A soft gasp could be heard outside as Qianye pulled the door open. There were several people standing outside, the leader being a young girl in a black cloak. It was Bluemoon with whom he had fought together in Port City. She hadn’t sensed anyone behind the doors and was just about to knock again when the gates flew open—this shocked her quite a bit.

There were four people behind Bluemoon. The two elders among them were quite strong, possessing profound auras and six origin vortices. The Highbeards’ combat strength far exceeded humans of the same rank, which meant that this lineup was enough to rampage through Southern Blue.

These two elders were also quite surprised because they hadn’t sensed Qianye, either.

“Bluemoon? How rare, please come in.” Qianye stepped aside.

The girl instructed the remaining two men to guard the door while she herself entered with the two elders. She became quite cautious upon seeing the pool of blood through the open room.

“Just a bit of trouble, I’ve dealt with it.” Qianye seemed rather calm.

Seeing blood was no surprise in the neutral lands and thus Bluemoon paid it no further attention. She waved her hands at the two elders, who promptly deployed a steel bucket at each corner of the courtyard and pulled out a long alloy stick from each one. After the origin arrays were activated, a screen of light appeared between the poles, insulating the courtyard from the outside world.

“This is rather interesting.”
