Chapter 1716 – Looking at Us With Hostility
Feifei pouted, “You’re a pretty clever brat. It seems like Rourou spent a lot of effort on you previously.” She looked Qin Yu up and down and suddenly said, “That’s right, I was messing around with you just now. However, like I said, I lost a bet so I’m not in a very good mood now.
“Rourou has her eye on you; if I steal a bite of you, then she would be suffering a loss and that would be fair to me! What do you think, Qin Yu? You really don’t want to do ‘that’ with me? This place is my territory, and Rourou is unable to peer into this space. Furthermore, I promise that this will only be between us – I definitely will not tell another soul.”
Here we go again…
Qin Yu felt that if this lady continued to tease him, he would eventually bleed from all seven orifices. Gritting his teeth, he turned his body and said, “Sister Feifei, if you don’t want to leave, then I’m going to leave first.”
“Stop!”
Feifei’s eyes widened and she looked furious, “You little brat, when did you become blind? I am such a beauty and I’m offering myself to you, but you don’t even want it!”
She clenched her jaw and added, “Just you wait, this matter is not finished. I just don’t believe that I can’t take a junior like you down!”
Qin Yu suddenly felt dizzy, “Sister Feifei, what exactly are you trying to do?”
“Smelly little brat, quickly come here and get me out of this place. Stop widening your eyes, I’m in a terrible mood now. Even if you change your mind, I am not interested!”
Feifei’s face turned ugly, “I’ve been sealed here and I have no way to move by myself. If you don’t want to leave empty-handed, come here right now!”
Qin Yu looked hesitant but he gritted his teeth and walked towards her. “Then…I’m sorry to offend you!” Closing his eyes, he reached out and grabbed her. She was lighter and softer than he imagined, and she smelled nice too.
‘Women are made from water’. Today, Qin Yu finally gained a better understanding of this phrase.
She stuck onto his body, as if she was about to integrate with him in the next moment.
Hiss –
Stop thinking about these weird things!
Qin Yu quickly retracted his thoughts and lowered his head in guilt. He stood straight like a piece of wood, hugged her, and left the place.
Sniff.
Sniff again.
Sniff hard.
Take a deep whiff!
Feifei could not help but raise her hand to wipe the corners of her lips. She looked at Qin Yu with shiny eyes.
She was starting to regret it.
Earlier on, she should not have promised Rourou anything, and all the more she should not have run out and tried to eat her. She should have just stayed here and waited for Qin Yu to come through the door, then she could have just opened her mouth to swallow him and it would have been a wonderful meal!
Even if Rourou went after her, she would have been able to escape instead of being stuck in this miserable state.
This is insufferable, truly insufferable.
At this moment, Feifei was like a person who had been starved for many years and was now hugging a fragrant meat bun, yet she could not eat it.
You would not be able to imagine what this felt like!
She could only drool non-stop. No matter how fast she wiped her drool away, it could not compare with how fast her saliva was forming…women were made from water.
Qin Yu lowered his head and looked at his chest, where a huge portion was drenched. He thought to himself, ‘How thirsty are you ladies? At least bear with it a little instead of getting your saliva all over me. What is the meaning of that? I thought you said you were not interested? You’re clearly trying to seduce me!’
Hang in there, don’t take the bait.
Otherwise, even if I have a good time today, I will be dead when I return.
Rourou was not one to be provoked!
……
At the shallow level of the Sword Prison.
The swordsmen who were still alive were almost all gathered here. Hand in hand, they activated a sword array to resist the attacks from the Sword Demons.
There were already many dead Sword Demons. It was not an exaggeration to say that bodies were laid all over the ground and the air was filled with the thick smell of blood.
The facts proved that Qin Yu’s judgment was right. The shallow level of the Sword Prison was no longer safe.
Top grade Sword Demons were not a rare sight, but the most terrifying part was that there were two legendary grade Sword Demons that had made their way here.
If it were not for the few strong guardian swordsmen who had worked together to resist these Sword Demons, the swordsmen here would have already been wiped out.
The members of the Cliff Sword Sect were stuck here and only two of their disciples were still alive while the other five had fallen.
Elder Kong Weijin’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. His breath was so weak and there was a terrifying wound on his chest. It was as if his upper body had been cut in half.
It was a miracle that he was still alive despite sustaining such a heavy injury.
“Qi Shan, you have to make it out of here alive. Our Cliff Sword Sect’s future depends on you!” Qi Shan’s eyes reddened and his whole body was trembling.
If it were not to save Qi Shan, with Elder Kong Weijin’s cultivation, he would not have suffered such a serious injury.
It was all because of him, it was all his fault!
Kong Weijin’s hand suddenly went limp as he breathed his last breath.
Qi Shan’s tears fell like rain.
Right at this moment, a ‘boom’ rang out. A blanket of light fell from above, shining on everyone. Those swordsmen who were still alive widened their eyes as they looked up. After a brief moment of shock, their faces were filled with ecstasy.
The entrance to the Sword Prison was open!
Along with this development, the Sword Demons started to cry out in pain and their bodies exploded with a loud ‘bang’! The explosions rang out continuously. In the blink of an eye, all the darkness around them had dissipated and the Sword Demons were all gone.
We survived? We…survived!
Falling to the ground in disbelief, Qi Shan looked at his surroundings in shock. He hugged his head with both his hands and sobbed loudly. His cries touched the other swordsmen around him and they soon began to cry as well.
They had survived, but more of them were going to stay here forever. Amongst the dead, there were their sect members, friends, relatives, lovers…
Just like that, the Sword Prison was opened.
The surviving swordsmen were rescued at the fastest possible speed. Some people hugged each other and cried, but most were enduring the pain and sorrow alone.
The swordsmen in the outside world had already learned about the situation in the Sword Prison. According to what the surviving swordsmen told them, those who had not yet reached the shallow level of the Sword Prison were most likely already gone.
This made those who were still holding onto their last hopes furious. They were unable to accept this.
Why?
All of our sects suffered heavy casualties, yet there were people who were completely unaffected and did not lose anything at all.
This was definitely not a coincidence!
“Where are the people from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect?” Someone growled, and no one knew who it was.
Very quickly, these angry emotions propagated throughout the crowd. Everyone’s faces started to look gloomy and their eyes were ice cold.
“The Sword Prison was completely out of control and the Sword Demons attacked everyone. No one was able to get out of it!”
“There must be a hidden cause for this matter. The Opening Heavens Sword Sect needs to give everyone a convincing explanation!”
“We must investigate this thoroughly!”
The furious swordsmen from the various sword sects had not yet directed their anger towards the South Sea Sword Sect’s Sect Master. As one of the ten sword sects and one of the members of the Main Sword Masters, he had terrifying power so no one dared to go against him.
However, Wei Heng was still very worried.
If the flames continued to be fanned such that the anger propagated to more people, it would start to form a herd mentality. All logic and reason would go out of the window and people would become bold and start doing things without any care for the consequences.
When that happened, the South Sea Sword Sect would definitely be implicated…therefore, if he wanted to separate his own sect from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect, this was the last opportunity to do so.
Taking a deep breath, Wei Heng took out a jade slip and forcefully shattered it. The information in the jade slip was a compromise that he had made with the recipient, which was none other than Han Zhangyang from the Frost Cold Sword Sect!
Phew –
He exhaled slowly. In the depths of Wei Heng’s eyes, there was a trace of guilt, but he quickly suppressed it.
He had no choice!
Right at this moment, someone suddenly said, “They’re out!”
“People from the Opening Heavens Sword Sect!”
“And the South Sea Sword Sect, they really were together.”
Wei Heng abruptly raised his head to see Xu Jing and his disciples descending at the Sword Prison’s entrance.
Whoosh –
His figure shifted and directly appeared in front of them.
Xu Jing looked slightly agitated as he cupped his hands and greeted him, “Greetings, Sect Master!”
Jin Hua and the other disciples bowed towards Wei Heng as well.
Wei Heng nodded his head and slapped his shoulders gently, “It’s good that you’re all back.” Taking a deep breath, he waved his sleeve and said, “This journey to the Sword Prison has been extremely dangerous. All of you must be tired, go back to the sect to rest and we will talk about any other matters later on.”
An invisible force brought Jin Hua and the other disciples directly back to the South Sea Sword Sect.
Xu Jing frowned and there was a questioning look in his eyes.
They had been apprentice brothers for a very long time and grew up together. Their minds were connected to each other.
Wei Heng did not move his lips but his voice rang in Xu Jing’s mind, “The Opening Heavens Sword Sect has become the target of public criticism; we need to distance ourselves from them.”
Xu Jing frowned even more, “Brother, the few of us managed to live because Sect Master Qin Yu came to help us.”
“This involves the survival of the South Sea Sword Sect. Even if he did help you, I have no choice but to do this.”
Wei Heng’s gaze swept over the scene in front of him before he smiled and said, “Sect Master Qin Yu is not here? I’ve already heard Elder Xu Jing explain the situation. This time, it is all thanks to the Opening Heavens Sword Sect that my disciples have been able to come back alive. Once we deal with some matters, I will personally visit the Opening Heavens Sword Sect and offer a gift to show my gratitude.”
Xu Jing opened his mouth but did not say anything. Wei Heng was clearly trying to draw a clear line between his sect and the Opening Heavens Sword Sect. Even though he seemed to be expressing his gratitude, his motives were obvious.
This made Xu Jing feel slightly uneasy. He was extremely guilty, but since Wei Heng said that this concerned the survival of their sect, he could only maintain his silence. Perhaps back then, when Grandmaster passed the South Sea Sword Sect into Wei Heng’s hands, it was because he was more suitable to be its Sect Master.
Zhang Xiashan could feel the strange atmosphere and how the swordsmen around him were looking at them coldly.
Something had happened!
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xiashan greeted Wei Heng, “Sect Master Wei, my Sect Master is in the deep level of the Sword Prison. He has not yet returned, and us disciples are very exhausted. Please find a temporary place for us to rest.”
Wei Heng’s eyes shone slightly. Smiling, he said, “Protector Hu is outside the Sword Prison and I’m sure he will arrive very soon. There is no need for my South Sea Sword Sect to be involved; I still have to take care of my own disciples. All of you can just wait here for a while.”𝐟𝙧ℯe𝙬𝚎𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵel. 𝐜o𝓶
Then, he turned to leave.
“Senior brother!”
Xu Jing froze for a while as he looked at Zhang Xiashan and the other disciples of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect. His eyes dimmed.
He then lowered his head and left too.
Whoosh –
There was a sharp splitting sound in the air as Hu Zhiming flew to this place and landed in front of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s members. He looked at all twelve of them who were uninjured and felt extremely relieved.
Alive, they were all alive!
Sect Master and Grand Elder were really gods.
He was full of admiration for them!
“Where is Sect Master?”
Zhang Xiashan replied, “He’s not out yet.” There were many people around them, so he felt that it was not a good place to say too much.
Hu Zhiming’s face changed slightly, “That’s troublesome! Be careful – all these people are looking at us with a lot of hostility.”
One rogue cultivator widened his eyes and asked, “Why?”
Hu Zhiming laughed coldly and said, “Because our Opening Heavens Sword Sect did not suffer a single casualty!”
