Chapter 646: No return!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Hitesh
A hundred-meters-tall ancient tree with dense branches and leaves shook suddenly in the Perpetual Night Forest. Green leaves rattled and then fell.
A light spot appeared on the tree trunk, near the thick roots. It slowly divided into many beams, crawling on the branches like snakes, and creating a mysterious light door.
Two silhouettes flashed in the door. From the icy and burning hot area, they appeared in front of the giant tree.
The strange phenomenon of the tree vanished when the two people appeared.
Turning her head to look at the entrance of the Secret Domain behind, Bing Qing Tong frowned. Her countenance was cold but elegant as she said faintly, "We should be hurried."
"Don't know what has happened to that brat. Why does he have to be with the alien tribes? Sigh, he always gives us a headache!" Han Cui was still as beautiful as a flower. Her watery black eyes twinkled, accompanying her succulent red lips. All her features made her so charming that her charisma could capture people’s souls.
As she thought she was about to meet someone, her soft body got hot, and her heart bounced in her chest.
"Don’t mess things up. That b*stard’s in danger now. If we’re late, I’m not sure we can help him," Bing Qing Tong snorted, then knitted her brows. She seemed to hurry.
A group of warrior strolled towards them from the far forest. This group went out to hunt beasts. Their realms weren’t the same, and some of them looked really handsome. However, they were walking and joking and laughing, as though they didn't know about the calamity Human Clan was about to face.
When they reached the entrance, they saw Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui. Their eyes brightened while they couldn’t help but pant.
Outstanding young warriors of the seven ancient factions raked their eyes through Bing Qing Tong’s and Han Cui’s bodies. They gulped as their temptation rose like animals.
A leader of that group, who thought that he was excellent enough with his Sky Realm, beamed a smile and then bowed to greet the other two. "Master Bing, where are you going?"
Bing Qing Tong’s face was as cold as ice. "Somewhere."
"Haha, if you want to hunt beasts, I can take you. I’m familiar with this area. I’m willing to help you." The young man laughed and tried to show his servile manner.
"No need," Bing Qing Tong wore a cold face, moving swiftly, crossing this group. She disappeared instantly. Han Cui smiled beautifully, like hundreds of flowers blooming. She didn’t pay attention to these people and just left.
"Lie Kuan, you've wasted your heart. These two women are at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm. Why would they have to favor you?" A dark skinned, short young man laughed evilly. "Well, these famous flowers have an owner already."
"B*tches," Lie Kuan was surprised. But then, he thundered with a dark face. "They dare to join the barbarian man. Harrumph, they don't favor living. Such sl*ts! The man called Shi Yan will be doomed soon. Perhaps, they would be involved too."
Shen Lin, the one who had left the Yang, was in this group. He frowned and then asked. "These two women have a relationship with Shi Yan?"
Shen Lin had spent a lot of time in the Perpetual Night Forest. That’s why Lie Kuan asked him to show the way. Lie Kuan smiled on hearing him. "Mister Shen, I heard that the Yang family has many beautiful young ladies. Is that true?"
Shen Mu slightly bent his body, his face respectful. "Yeah, it’s true. Li Feng Er and Yang Xue are really prominent. Why does young master Lie ask me that?"
Lie Kuan and the others had their eyes brightened, chuckling evilly.
"I think we should ask to attack the enemy first. They have to die, eventually. Well, if we can have fun with them, when they die, their lives won’t be wasted." The short, fat guy pursed his lips perversely.
"A bunch of trash!" However, a voice came from that tree. Lie Feng of the Devil Valley appeared, glaring coldly at them. "Is that your future career?"
When they realized Lie Feng was coming, they paled immediately, bending to greet him loudly. "Brother."
"Get lost! Don’t embarrass our Devil Valley! Killing you is as easy as smashing an ant. Shi Yan can always do that before he dies." Lie Feng was cold, and didn’t want to look at them. He walked away.
After Lie Feng had left for a while, Lie Kuan continued with an irritated expression. "F*ck! He didn’t defeat the opponent whose realm is lower than his. Well, don’t know who has lost our Devil Valley’s face."
"Lie Kuan, are you interested in the operation to deal with the Yang?" the fat guy instigated again.
"Of course, yes!" Lie Kuan laughed. "The seniors have announced already. They want to kill all the members of the Yang family and the Shi family. I heard that they are filthy rich. If we can earn some good stuff, it will be superb for us."
These people then laughed obscenely.
Shen Lin, the Yang family’s traitor, kept silent. He felt a sadness swell in his heart. However, when he thought about that, Shen Lin darkened his face. He thought that Yang Tian Emperor and his people deserved that. They had given up the big tree – the seven ancient factions – to group with the alien tribes. They deserved death.
…
After Lie Feng left that area, he took out a bronze coin, flipping it between his fingers. While moving, the coin sometimes sparkled a dark light. Just like black mist, it flew forward.
Lie Feng followed the faint light from the bronze coin. His pace was fast, then slow; he didn’t look hurried.
After a long time, Lie Feng suddenly felt tense. He halted, releasing the Soul Consciousness to sense, then beamed a forced smile. "You guys busted me."
Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui silently walked out from the shade of a big tree, looking at him with an unfriendly countenance. Han Cui arched her brows. She rarely felt angry, but she screamed. "Why are you following us?"
"I’m ordered." Lie Feng didn’t seem tense. He smiled and answered deliberately.
"Whose orders?" Bing Qing Tong looked cold. "Lie Feng, although your competence isn’t bad, if we sisters join hands, it’s not hard to kill you."
Lie Feng had reached the Second Sky of Spirit Realm. He was the strongest leader of the new generation of the Devil Valley. His cultivation of the Devil Valley’s supernatural Upanishad was excellent. If they battled one-on-one, Bing Qing Tong with her Third Sky of Spirit Realm cultivation base couldn’t defeat him.
"From the Supreme Leaders, not just my teacher." Lie Feng smiled. "If you want to defeat me, well, of course, you can do that. But if you want to kill me, haha, it's not easy."
"What is your purpose for following us?" As Han Cui felt time was running out, she got annoyed. Anger rose in her beautiful eyes.
"You know already," Lie Feng took several steps backward. He squinted, his face eccentric. "Personally, I don’t have any bad intentions towards you two. I’m here to tell you that if you decide to go, you should be prepared, and you should know that you can’t come back. In other words, if you return, even the Hegemon of your Fighting Union can’t protect you."
"Why do you want to tell us this?" Bing Qing Tong furrowed her brows, talking in a low tone. "As far as I’ve known, Shi Yan had irritated you in the Precious Tool Valley, right?"
"Irritated… I don’t think so." Lie Feng pursed his lips, talking arrogantly. "I don't like the weak. Only the strong can get into my eyes. And Shi Yan… he’s one of the rare kinds I like. Although I like slaughtering and being mean, I always respect and admire strong experts. And, I don’t want to see that kid be killed unknowingly. I want to defeat him officially for once."
Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui kept silent, their faces complicated.
Many members of the seven ancient factions had a good relationship with Shi Yan. For instance, Zhu Yi of the Wonderful Stone City, the elders of the Radiant God Cult, the Banner family, and the Aoke Family.
However, after they knew the relation between Shi Yan and the alien tribes, most of them didn't dare to show their agreement. They decided to ignore it. Some even got enraged, and they wanted to attack the Yang family.
People who wanted to help him were pitifully rare.
Lie Feng was a new face of the Devil Valley. His brutal name was famous in the Divine Great Land. He liked slaughtering, and here was almost no nice word to describe him.
However, a character like that had told Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui the dark thoughts of the higher levels in the seven ancient factions. At this moment, Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui were moved.
"How about my other two sisters? Are they alright?" Bing Qing Tong pondered for a while and then asked nervously.
Leng Dan Qing and Shuang Yu Zhu were still in the Ice and Fire Secret Domain. Bing Qing Tong was afraid that the other two would be involved and the seven ancient factions would trouble them. She couldn’t press down her worries.
"They should be okay. The high levels mean that… The traitors are the ones who send intelligence to Shi Yan discreetly. They don't want us to treat you well. Yeah, only you two." Lie Feng contemplated for a while and then continued. "If you return now, I will consider nothing has happened. The high levels won’t attack you. But if you are persistent, I will say the same… You shouldn’t return."
"Thank you," Bing Qing Tong nodded to him. "We won’t come back. If you have the chance… please help us notify my other two sisters. Please let them know."
Lie Feng was dumbstruck. He beamed a faint smile. "I envy that kid. Haha, I didn't think that you were willing to leave the seven ancient factions for him. Alright, I will send your message to your sisters. Just leave and don’t worry about them. If we meet again, I won’t be polite. You should solve your matters yourself."
Then, Lie Feng turned around generously. He sauntered towards the Ice and Fire Secret Domain, not wanting to follow them anymore.
Bing Qing Tong and Han Cui stood there in silence for a while. Han Cui spoke first. "That man does have good intentions. I didn't expect that he would remind us. If he hadn't talked to us, I think we would have returned to the Ice and Fire Secret Domain. At that time, we would be miserable."
"Yeah, it’s hard to see through people’s hearts. At the most struggling time, there are those who look like your enemy but will help you discreetly." Bing Qing Tong suddenly remembered something, her face disdain. "And then there are some who are so shameful!"
Han Cui’s visage became grimaced as she snorted.
