At this point, all five golden bells were crushed! This meant that Jian Fengchi and the other four—who had entered Ancient Phoenix Mountain—were all in danger!
Logically speaking, Ancient Phoenix Mountain would automatically eliminate people when they were in danger. However, not a single person had come out at this point!
Chu Liuyue stared at that rainbow barrier closely.
It was calm as if nothing had happened, but this made her even more worried.
Detecting the commotion on Chu Liuyue’s side, the few people waiting at the side all looked over.
That woman’s face was solemn and cold as her eyes glistened with a cold gleam.
The few of them exchanged glances.?What’s… going on?
Judging from her appearance, did something happen inside??Dantai Chen thought of this in his heart and squinted his eyes as an undetectable cold smile slid across his lips.?No matter how capable Chu Liuyue is, she is helpless at this point! This time, let’s see how arrogant she can be!
At this point, Chu Liuyue suddenly went forward and stopped ten steps away from the rainbow barrier. She looked up and stared at Elder Hua Qian in the middle determinedly. “Sorry for the trouble, Elders, but could you help me? I want to enter Ancient Phoenix Mountain!”
…
Dead silence.
Chu Liuyue’s sentence was like thunder striking everyone’s ears, causing the crowd to be shocked.
Even Elder Hua Qian—who was used to seeing all kinds of scenarios—was dazed for a moment. Then, he knitted his brows. “Shangguan Yue, do you know what you’re talking about?”
As he was a top warrior and his identity was long beyond that of an ordinary elder, even Jun Qizhi had to be respectful toward him. Hence, he completely had the right to talk to Chu Liuyue in such an attitude and tone.
Chu Liuyue calmly nodded. “Yes, I know.”
“This Ancient Phoenix Mountain only opens once in a thousand years, and the barrier is unimaginably strong! Even if it were a few days ago when the barrier was at its weakest, all the elders had to work together to open it forcefully! And now, you’ve missed the best time to enter.” Elder Hua Qian shook his head and directly rejected her. “You should just give up on this idea!”
Chu Liuyue clenched her fists and knitted her brows slightly. “I know all that you’re saying, but I have a reason why I must enter! Elders, please help me!”
Elder Hua Qian looked at her, and his old eyes seemed to have seen through everything, but they were cold and nonchalant. “You want to go in because the people inside have met with dangers, right? If it’s this reason, then don’t say it. Entering Ancient Phoenix Mountain is originally already very perilous. If they want to obtain the benefits and fate that a normal person can’t have, they need to have the guts to face the corresponding danger and pressure! Not to mention that this barrier is hard to open, even if we manage to open it forcefully and you go in, what about the rest? Could it be that they’ll enter with you?”
Since this was a competition, everything had to be fair and square. One had to know all of this from the beginning!
Chu Liuyue clenched her fists even more tightly, and her knuckles turned white.?Of course, I understand what Elder Hua Qian is saying. But the key point now is that Jian Fengchi and the rest are in abnormal situations! Ancient Phoenix Mountain is the Beiming Dynasty’s holy mountain, and it is the place where the strong warrior broke through and entered Apotheosis back then.
Even if there is a certain danger to it, it isn’t very possible that the few of them would be pushed to the point of no return in a mere few days! Either this Ancient Phoenix Mountain is strange, or someone is secretly targeting them! Whichever it is, I can’t take it lightly! Do they want me to just sit and wait outside?
Seeing the indignation in Chu Liuyue’s eyes, Elder Hua Qian shook his head. “We’ll naturally know what happened after nine days.”
Nine days? I can’t even wait a single day! I originally left them the golden bells because I was worried about their safety. It’s fine if one or two were crushed, but now all five are gone! I must go in today!
“This means that you’re not willing to help me, Elder Hua Qian?” asked Chu Liuyue carefully, and her voice was clear and cold.
Elder Hua Qian knitted his brows.?Why is this Chu Liuyue so stubborn?!
He was instantly enraged as he said, “It’s not that you can’t go in! As long as you can open the barrier to Ancient Phoenix Mountain, you can go in and out as you wish! At that point, we won’t stop you!”
The crowd had various expressions.?Isn’t this driving Chu Liuyue to her death? Including Elder Hua Qian, this barrier was finally opened with the efforts of 25 strong warriors from various dynasties. To let Chu Liuyue do it alone… How can she do it? This is clearly rejecting her request.
Hearing this, Chu Liuyue stood rooted to the ground and didn’t speak for some time, but her gaze was bitter.
Ning Yuan—who seemed like he didn’t really care about everything—turned his gaze and lightly said, “Everyone has their own destinies. Elder Hua Qian is right. Since they’ve entered, they must be prepared to endure everything. Do you still want to protect them all the way?”
There was no such logic in the world. Besides, she was still a child herself.
Even if she was worried and anxious, she should consider the actual situation. It was too ridiculous to want to barge into Ancient Phoenix Mountain forcefully at this point.
Gongsun Xiao looked over, but he didn’t say anything as he watched on quietly.
However, Dantai Chen couldn’t hold himself back as he laughed in a seemingly teasing and mocking manner. “You could’ve gone in before, but you refused. Now, you want to barge in forcefully. Do you think that this Ancient Phoenix Mountain is your Tianling’s territory and that they must listen to you?”
Her impudent behavior is such a joke! What kind of place does she think this Ancient Phoenix Mountain is? Somewhere she can randomly throw her temper?
“In this world, the strong are respected! If some people want to take something that doesn’t belong to them, they naturally have to face the consequences.”
The few people from the Tianling Dynasty seemed to be the weakest out of everyone here, right? If so, how could they not fail? Hah.
Chu Liuyue turned around, and her gaze was as cold as ice as she calmly glanced at Dantai Chen. “Consequences? Emperor Huai Ren, it seems like you know something?”
Dantai Chen’s expression stiffened for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal. “I don’t know about anything else. I only know that the victorious one is king, while the losers are nothing! If you don’t have the capability, you shouldn’t have come out to humiliate yourself in the first place!”
This was blatant mockery!
Everyone present couldn’t help but look at Chu Liuyue.
Anyone who heard this wouldn’t be able to hold back and would be furious… However, Chu Liuyue’s face was scarily calm.
Even her lips were curled up slightly, but her smiling intent didn’t reach her eyes, which chilled people’s hearts unwittingly.
“Emperor Huai Ren, your words make sense. In this world, only the strong have the right to talk.” She turned around and looked at Elder Hua Qian!
Elder Hua Qian’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, and uneasiness overwhelmed him.
Chu Liuyue tilted her head. “Elder Hua Qian, you said just now that you’d let me do whatever I want if I managed to open this barrier, right?”
Elder Hua Qian knitted his brows but still nodded. “That’s right!”
“Okay!” yelled Chu Liuyue.. “Then, I’ll open this barrier today!”
