Chapter 131 - Heroes On All Fronts (1/2)

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue both obtained many divine armaments’ acknowledgment. They each obtained a Heaven-level divine armament. The news about the two clearing the Nine Mystic Caves and were about to leave the mountain spread among Archean Mountain disciples quickly.

On 21st October, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue invited many fellow disciples to a banquet.

“Please accept my toast.” Yan Jin—who was sitting alone at the banquet—pulled Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue over for drinks.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue accompanied him.

“When I was fifteen, I went to Eastcalm Prefecture and met the two of you. In the blink of an eye, over ten years have pa.s.sed.” Yan Jin drank from a large bowl before filling it up again. He looked at Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue seriously. “I, Yan Jin, have very few friends in my life! Both of you are my friends.”

Meng Chuan smiled as Liu Qiyue listened silently.

Meng Chuan and Yan Jin had a better relations.h.i.+p. Although their relations.h.i.+p wasn’t as close, they had experienced a life-and-death battle together. They were Yan Jin’s only friends on the mountain.

“After you leave the mountain, it will be a b.l.o.o.d.y storm. There will be life-and-death battles.” Yan Jin’s eyes were slightly moist as he looked at Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue solemnly. “I hope both of you will remain alive! I hope that one day, the three of us can appear on the same battlefield together.”

“Alright,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “When the time comes, the three of us will fight alongside each other again.”

“Let’s fight alongside each other,” Liu Qiyue said in antic.i.p.ation.

That year at Eastcalm Prefecture’s Idle Stone Garden, they had fought alongside each other.

“Hahaha…” Yan Jin laughed. “That day will definitely come. Come, bottoms up.”

At least at this moment, Yan Jin was happy. He didn’t have many friends, but that made him cherish the few friends he had all the more.

“Bottoms up.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue accompanied him.

…

In the afternoon, the G.o.dfiend disciples had already dispersed. The servants in the cave abode were clearing the cutlery.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue stood at the cave abode entrance, watching the snow path that had been covered in footprints.

“Senior Brother Qian Yu didn’t come?” Meng Chuan asked.

“Yes.” Liu Qiyue nodded. “He didn’t come. I went to invite him personally, but I didn’t manage to see him.”

“Let’s go visit him,” said Meng Chuan. “Who knows when we will see him again after we leave.”

“Okay.” Liu Qiyue nodded.

The duo walked across the snow and arrived at Qian Yu’s cave abode. Stewards were managing Qian Yu’s cave abode entrance.

“Lord Meng Chuan, Lady Liu Qiyue,” the steward greeted politely.

“Tell Senior Brother Qian Yu that I’m here with Meng Chuan to pay him a visit,” said Liu Qiyue.

“Alright, I’ll pa.s.s the message. However, my lord might not wish to meet you,” said the steward helplessly.

“It’s fine, just pa.s.s the message on,” said Liu Qiyue.

The steward nodded and entered the cave abode.

Moments later, the steward returned to the door with a bitter expression. He shook his head gently. “My lord only knows how to drink. He doesn’t care about anything.”

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue looked at each other. Without permission from the cave abode’s owner, they couldn’t barge in. They could only leave helplessly.

Junior Brother Meng Chuan and Junior Sister Liu Qiyue have already pa.s.sed the Nine Mystical Caves. Are they leaving? Qian Yu’s beard was in a mess. His hair was disheveled, and he looked extremely dispirited. At this moment, he hugged an alcohol flask as he leaned against the railing, and muttered softly, “I still remember nine years ago, I left the mountain in high spirits. But now, I’m a cripple. My dantian has lost all Quintessential Essence. I can’t even use archery techniques.

“Am I to rely on the brute strength of a G.o.dfiend Body? My pure strength is inferior to an Indestructible G.o.dfiend’s explosive strength! Furthermore, arrows shot with pure strength do not have any variations. Demon monarchs easily dodge them! I can’t even compare to an Indestructible realm sharpshooter. Am I just to play the role of a newly-advanced G.o.dfiend sharpshooter?

“Haha, a newly-advanced G.o.dfiend isn’t even wanted on the battlefield. I’m a cripple, a complete cripple. Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, all of you have left, leaving me alone in this world. I can’t even avenge you since I’m crippled. What should I do? What should I do?” Qian Yu drank his alcohol, feeling extremely miserable.
