Chapter 1956: Ancient Battlefield
The ancient battlefield here could not be compared to the one at the Immortal Lands, but it was still dangerous. Firstly, those auras had spiritual intelligence, and then there was that scattered and smashed spatial area. If one lost their focus even slightly, the scattered and smashed space would rip them apart.
“Careful!”
Sima You Yue shouted loudly, as she lashed out her spiritual energy and shaped it into a rope. She tied Yu Wan Wan and the four people in front together, used her strength and pulled them back.
The clothes of the guard that was walking at the front suddenly flew up and it started to break apart from the center. It unravelled from the middle and everyone watched as this piece of clothing was ripped into pieces before disappearing.
Yu Wan Wan had not been so deep into the ancient battlefield before, so she was not familiar with the situation here. There were a few times where she had almost fallen into the smashed and scattered space. This time, it was You Yue who saved her again.
“Thank you, You Yue. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to leave this place alive.” Yu Wan Wan said with gratitude.
“You’re welcome, you’re doing it for my Mother anyway.” Sima You Yue said, “However, we have just entered the ancient battlefield, but there are already so many smashed and scattered spaces. As we draw nearer to the centre, I fear there will be more.”
“Although it has it’s dangers, there are also benefits to this.” Wu Lingyu said, “This way, Yan Ya and the others will not be able to move along quickly.”
“Indeed.” Sima You Yue agreed with him and she said to You Wan Wan, “Cousin Wan Wan, the road ahead will be much more dangerous. You guys are not familiar with spatial areas, so why don’t you retreat? It will be safe if you head back the same way we came.”
Her words were not direct, but everyone understood what she meant. If they were not sensitive to the spatial areas, it would be easy for something like that to happen again. Firstly, it was more dangerous, secondly, they would be a burden and slow the group down. If Yan Ya and the others did not move quickly, it would be hard for them to catch up as quickly as possible. Bringing five people was indeed inconvenient.
Although Yu Wan Wan was worried about her safety, she understood that she would not be of much help if she stayed. Thus, she agreed immediately, “Right, we will not follow and burden you. Yan Ya isn’t someone easy to deal with, you have to be careful.”
“We will. Remember to take the further route when returning.” Sima You Yue liked this cousin more now, although she always viewed herself as more superior.
“Alright.”
Yu Wan Wan took her people and returned via the route they came. Sima You Yue and her group continued to progress forward. She didn’t know which direction Yan Ya went, or where he had walked to, so they needed to increase their speed.
With five people less, their group’s capacity had decreased by a lot. In this place where there were so many gaps in the spatial area, it was more convenient. Every time they encountered gaps, they could respond quickly and avoid them.
At the same time, a few hundred kilometres away, Yan Ya was bringing two people along while heading towards the core.
“Yan Ya, we have already walked for so many days but we haven’t seen anything at all. Are you sure that there are Battle Spirits here?” Xie Hun said critically.
“If you do not believe me, you don’t have to follow me.” Yan Ya said nonchalantly, He didn’t care for Xie Hun at all.
“Yan Ya, what’s with your attitude! We are carrying out duties for the general, if you mess this up, beware that the general will not let you off!” Xie Hun shouted.
Yan Ya did not even take a glance at him,” You are under Xiao He’s command, I am not. If anything happens, Xiao He cannot put the blame on me. Aren’t you an Array Master yourself? You can go on your own, you don’t have to tag along with us.”
“If I could go on my own, why would I need you?” Xie Hun looked at Fei Yi, who was beside Yan Ya. Everyone in the Soul Region knew that this person was very well versed when it came to arrays. His knowledge regarding spatial areas was perfect. On the way here, he has already discovered many smashed and scattered spaces and space gaps, saving his life many times. If he didn’t follow him, with his standard, he would have been able to get as far as two metres into this place.
He hated that this talented person only listened to Yan Ya and refused to be used by the general. Otherwise, why would he need to bring Yan Ya here?
Thinking of how arrogant Yan Ya’s was, he fumed with anger. One day, he would crush him under his feet!
“Someone came as well.” Fei Yi, who had been silent up till now, suddenly spoke.
Xie Hun sensed his surroundings. No one was around, so he said with distrust, “I don’t feel the presence of anyone nearby, how do you know?”
“There is a slight disruption in the space,” Fei Yi said.
“Alright, since this rascal said it this way, then it should be true.”
“Since you can sense the person, it seems like the person is also a strong Array Master.” Yan Ya said, “I wonder who it might be.”
“Could it be Di Zhe and Yu Wan Wan? If it is them, we should make use of the gaps in this space and deal with them here. If the Ghost Realm loses Di Zhe, their ability will drop drastically.” Xie Hun said excitedly.
The people they had bumped into previously were Yu Wan Wan’s people. He wanted to deal with all of them, but Yan Ya had told them to hurry and collect the battle spirits instead of wasting time there so he gave up. If Di Zhe and You Wan Wan had come again, then he would not let go of the opportunity!
Yan Ya looked at Fei Yi, but Fei Yi shook his head. He could only feel the presence of someone coming. As for who it was, he could not sense that.
However, just like what Yan Ya said, judging by how fast they could catch up, they must have an incredible Array Master as well. On the contrary, he wanted to meet this Array Master.
“Let’s just wait here,” Xie Hun said.
“No, we should continue to move forward.” Yan Ya rejected his suggestion, “I know you want to kill Di Zhe, but the person that came may not be Di Zhe. We should go capture the Battle Spirits first. Since they have come here, they must be here for the Battle Spirits as well. Once we’ve taken away the Battle Spirit in the heart of this ancient battlefield, they would have arrived.”
“You’re right. Let’s go to the centre and wait for them.”
Xie Hun agreed, so the three of them continued to progress forward. Fei Yi was even more serious than before. Many dangers were avoided beforehand, accelerating their speed.
At the same time, Sima You Yue also felt their presence.
“Yan Ya and the others are just in front. They should have already discovered us, they have sped up.” she said.
“They must have brought Fei Yi along.” Mo Yu said.
“Who is Fei Yi?”
“He is the Soul Region’s best Array Master, he doesn’t belong to any influence. He is Yan Ya’s friend and only listens to Yan Ya. Even Qing Hun’s words have no effect on him.”
“Qing Hun would allow such a person to exist?” Sima You Yue was a little taken aback.
He didn’t belong to any influence. Even a ruler would not want to miss out on someone with such talent, yet Qing Hun allowed him to have such a close relationship with Enchanted Music Sect’s Second Master?
“Apparently there have been orders to have people capture him, but the whole army ended up being defeated.” Mo Yu explained.
Among all the occupations, the one with the strongest ability was still the Array Masters. One attack could kill many, moreover, they could attack and defend simultaneously. Their fighting abilities were extraordinary.
From the looks of it, Fei Yi was incredible indeed!
