Chapter 980: What About Her?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Even though the rainbow barrier covered the entire mountainous region, the crowd standing outside could still clearly see the outline of the peaks.
At this point, the crowd looked up and could see all the dark clouds in the sky gathering toward the highest peak!
If there was a change in the weather, something was bound to happen! If it weren’t the Three Yuan Convention, what else could it be?
Dantai Chen also suddenly looked over. He slowly clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead could be faintly seen as murderous intent quickly flashed across his eyes. Finally… We’ve arrived at this moment! When this ends and those people come out from the barrier, I must find Shangguan Yue and make her pay for everything!
…
At the same time, the people within the barrier also noticed this commotion.
Actually, most of them had reached the main peak’s area by this point. To accept the endless force from the Three Yuan Convention, they had to ascend the main peak and stand at the highest point. Hence, almost everyone came here in the past few days.
Seeing the weather phenomenon, the crowd couldn’t conceal their excitement as they started climbing toward the top.
…
This commotion naturally attracted the attention of Yuwen Jinghong and Wu Ming, who were waiting above the gully.
“It’s about to be the last day soon. The Three Yuan Convention is also about to take place…” Yuwen Jinghong stared at the commotion on the distant peak as he softly muttered and then looked at the gully below.
“But they haven’t come out yet. What should we do…” Wu Ming looked worried. Chu Liuyue and Mu Hongyu went down together earlier, and they said that they were going to bring Jian Fengchi and Qiang Wanzhou back. But after the two of them went down, they both sat cross-legged without moving. It has already been a few days, but they still show no signs of coming up.
This made them worried. If it weren’t because they had seen the legendary three-eyed eagle still below, they would’ve already rushed down.
“I wonder what’s so strange about this gully. Why did they all not move after they went down?” Yuwen Jinghong knitted his brows tightly since he really couldn’t figure it out.
After a moment of silence, he took a deep breath and suddenly stood up. “We can’t continue waiting like this! It’s fine if we can’t make it for the Three Yuan Convention, but what if they haven’t come out when we’re about to go out? What should we do then?”
One had to know that the time left for them to go out was very short! If they were accidentally delayed here, would they not be stuck here forever?
When Wu Ming heard this, his expression became solemn, and he felt that Yuwen Jinghong’s words made sense.
Even though the duo knew that Chu Liuyue had slashed open the barrier to enter, they both thought that she did it with the help of all the strong warriors outside.
How could they not be nervous now?
Previously, they didn’t go down as they were worried that they would become Her Majesty’s burdens. But now… they couldn’t care so much!
As he patted Wu Ming’s shoulder, Yuwen Jinghong said, “You haven’t recovered yet. Wait here first. I’ll go down and take a look!”
Then, without waiting for Wu Ming to object, he quickly rushed forward and leaped up.
“Wait—” Wu Ming was stunned and was about to stop his companion, but he couldn’t grab the latter in time.
But at this point, a red fire flew out from the side and rapidly blocked Yuwen Jinghong.
Yuwen Jinghong turned around to look at Tuan Zi in astonishment. “You are—”
Without waiting for him to ask, Tuan Zi flapped its wings.
Yuwen Jinghong was instantly pushed by a wave of ferocious force and flew back to his original spot. He then looked at Tuan Zi dazedly.
Wu Ming thought for a moment. “It seems like it doesn’t want us to go down.”
Tuan Zi glanced at the two of them. Why do you want to go down? It’s chaotic enough! You should just stay here and wait!
As if understanding Tuan Zi’s gaze, the two of them looked at each other and suppressed their uneasiness as they continued to wait. No matter what, this red-tailed phoenix is Her Majesty’s fiend. Therefore, it can sense something, right?
“I hope everything will go smoothly for Her Majesty and the rest…” said Wu Ming softly as he glanced at Ancient Phoenix Mountain’s main peak.
…
Waiting time was always especially torturous.
They saw the sky gradually darken, but Chu Liuyue and the rest were still motionless.
Wu Ming and Yuwen Jinghong became restless again, but when they saw Tuan Zi’s secured look, they could only continue waiting.
Yuwen Jinghong still glanced at the main peak from time to time.
They were a little far from there, but they could still see the smooth peak. Until now, nobody had reached the top.
However, they knew that those people were climbing up from mid-hill.
As the forests were filled with lush greenery, they couldn’t see clearly and couldn’t know the competition situation.
The sky darkened, and even the few figures in the gully slowly became blurry.
…
Very quickly, it was midnight.
The moon hung high in the sky, and it shone down on the mountainous region. The peaks of the mountain with the forests’ cover cast a dark blue shadow.
It was especially quiet. There was only the occasional sound of wind blowing from the forests to the gully.
At this moment, quite a big commotion occurred in the sky once again! Strong winds blew everywhere—it caused a huge suppression!
Yuwen Jinghong’s group of two turned back and saw a burly figure jump up and directly ascend Ancient Phoenix Mountain’s main peak.
Below the moonlight, he whipped his long sleeves, which floated with the wind. His movement technique was absolute!
“That is… Jun Jiuqing!” Wu Ming squinted his eyes and stared closely for a while before stating this with certainty.
After Yuwen Jinghong was shocked, he quickly accepted the issue and shrugged his shoulders. “It’d be weird if it wasn’t him!”
This Ancient Phoenix Mountain was originally their Beiming Dynasty’s territory, and he was the Beiming Crown Prince with the royal family bloodline… Shouldn’t it be given that he was the first?
Wu Ming nodded and said, “Even so, being able to ascend the peak is very enviable. Even if they’re not first and can’t obtain the endless force from the Three Yuan Convention, they can still nourish themselves with the holy force from the side. This… is undoubtedly a rare chance…”
Yuwen Jinghong sighed. “I don’t have many thoughts about this now. I just hope that Her Majesty and the rest will be fine and that they’ll come back smoothly…”
Bam!
An explosion was heard from the gully.
The duo was stunned as they nervously looked down. They then saw two figures jumping up from below.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of explosions were heard.
The seemingly calm space started exploding as it was continuously impacted. The originally chaotic strength started shaking around.
“It’s Mu Hongyu and Fengchi!” Yuwen Jinghong had sharp eyes, so he recognized the duo. He was shocked and surprised!
Seeing that the duo kept going upward and was getting increasingly nearer to them, Tuan Zi suddenly flapped its wings and rushed toward the two!
They saw a red figure flash across!
Mu Hongyu and Jian Fengchi landed on Tuan Zi’s back!
The chaotic and terrifying force started crazily attacking them, wanting to drag Tuan Zi down!
The fiend suddenly swiped its claws and flew up at the same time. Then, they landed on the cliff.
Yuwen Jinghong’s group of two immediately went forward. Before they could be happy, their expressions changed drastically. This was because Mu Hongyu and Jian Fengchi were covered in blood at this point!
“What’s wrong with you all?”
Mu Hongyu opened her mouth, but she spat out a mouthful of blood.
Jian Fengchi’s heart was harshly tugged as he instinctively held her tightly and rapidly fed her a pill.. He couldn’t care about his own injury as he looked at the duo. “The space below is all in a mess! Where’s Shangguan Yue?!”
