Chapter 49:Guardians of the Holy Chapter
Yi Ping was looking at the stunning view of the Holy Aamate Mountains After an arduous journey, they had all finally reached their destination, encountering only a fewthe way
They had avoided taking the h the many mountains and valleys
Lingfeng had explained, “Even though we are near the clan territories of the Holy Hex Clan and her allies, the nu at the foot of the Holy Aés in the thousands It is best that we totally avoid the ether”
She looked at Yi Ping keenly and asked, “What’s wrong, Yi Ping? You seem unhappy Is it because we are not interested in the Celestial Star Formation?”
Yi Ping was startled, “Lingfeng, you are not interested in the Celestial Star Formation?”
Lingfeng quickly said, “Not that Why do you look so depress lately? That is so unlike the Yi Ping that I have knoho is undaunted by any difficulties”
Yi Ping secretly shared in his worries with her, “Lingfeng, in the past…I lead a simple life and carefree life I didn’t know the fraternity at large and didn’t even knohat life is in the fraternity After I have fought with that old man, I have suddenly known fear It’s not that I am really fearful of him but…I don’t want to lose anyone of you I don’t want to lose you, Lingfeng I am really afraid now”
Lingfeng’s alluring eyes atery, “It’s alright Yi Ping You have already done your best You know you don’t have to accoamate Mountains…”
Yi Ping said, “It’s not that, Lingfeng I…want to protect you I want to beco Yun, Yu’Er and Mei’Er If any of you comes to harm, I will be heartbroken I know that I shouldn’t say that but I…really don’t even know my heart anymore…”
Lingfeng said softly, “Yi Ping, you don’t have to say anymore…I do understand Just follow your heart…”
Yi Ping smiled bitterly, “I can’t even trustet about the burdens of the heart… a trick on me…”
Lingfeng said quietly, “Hmph, what Emptiness Translucence…If you do that, I will kill myself in front of you…”
Yi Ping was startled
Unknown to Yi Ping, Youxue, Yu’Er, Mei’Er and Ding Yun were standing and listening tearfully out of his sight…
Back to the present…
When Gongsun Jing looked at the breathtaking amate Mountains, he said sadly “The entire mountain slopes are treacherous This is really a place that is easy to defend and hard to assault”
He asked Ding Yun, “Maiden Ding, are you alright? You are quiet along the way…”
Ding Yun said dee”
Gongsun Jing gave a soft sigh, “Is that so?”
Qiu Wufeng said, “I have thought that the Heavenly Mountains are grand enough but this is si”
Yu’Er disagreed with a soft sigh, “This is not a truly accurate way to say it For me, I prefer the snow and ice of the Heavenly Mountains”
Qiu Wufeng sht” But he was secretly thinking “The Heavenly Mountains is such a cold and desolate place; I’ll never want to go there again…”
Mei’Er added enchanting, “Oh? Why is that what you are saying and what you are thinking seems different?”
Qiu Wufeng protested, “That’s not the truth I swear!”
He quickly tried to divert attention fro is so quiet today?”
Nangong Le s the view…”
Yu’Er flushed as she interrupted with a disdain look in her eyes, “He is lying He is filled with dirty thoughts!”
Nangong Le forced out a weak smile, “That’s not true, Yu’Er You are also so beautiful today Your astonishi+ng beauty is like a rainbow I a the rainbows here…”
Yi Ping was turning his head as he looked at the surroundings, “Brother Nangong, you really have sharp eyes I don’t see any rainbows…”
Lingfeng al silently, “You are so dense…I give up on you…!”
Nangong Le said to Mei’Er and Yu’Er, “You know We have so s in common like music, swordplay, fine appreciation of the arts…”
Mei’Er huain…You can save your efforts, Young Master Nangong”
Nangong Le smiled secretly to himself, “One of these days, I will melt your heart…”
Youxue walked quietly besides Nangong Le, whispering in an almost inaudible voice in his ears “I will blind you if you dare to take another look atat us all the ti the way”
Nangong Le broke into a cold sweat
When Yi Ping saw that Lingfeng had put on an annoyed look, he quickly said to her, “Lingfeng! We have finally reached the Holy Aarown up here?”
Lingfeng nodded tenderly at Yi Ping, “Yes, I have grown up here”
She pointed at the yellow e in the far horizon, “Do you see those yellow mountains in the horizon?”
Yi Ping said, “It is beautiful, isn’t it? Maybe we can stay there in the future…”
Lingfeng so there! The mountains there are called the Nirvana Mountains It is said that the Celestial Palace is somewhere in those mountains No one returns from that place But we are able to see the Nirvana Mountains from here”
Mei’Er asked her, “Sister Lingfeng, why are your heart filled with sorrow? Shouldn’t you be happy that you are now home?”
Lingfeng sighed softly, “I am…”
Yi Ping said, “Lingfeng, don’t you worry I’ll protect you no matter how difficult it is”
Lingfeng looked alluringly at Yi Ping…
Yi Ping began to flush
He quickly turned around and walked hurriedly, “We have better hurry We’re almost there…”
All of a sudden, he had frozen in his tracks!
It was because Yi Ping had caught sight of an appalling sight!
The mountain slope on the other side of the mountain was covered with the charred bodies of hundreds of fallen exponents Their weapons and their martial banners were littered everywhere!
Lingfeng gasped, “The orthodox clans had already made their way to the top?”
Yi Ping said quietly, “So many dead Is it worth to throw their lives just like that? For what cause?”
Ding Yun cal, “From the attire and banners of the dead, it seems that they are mostly from the orthodox clans This could be just a minor skirmish I see no banners of the major orthodox clans or the Honor Manor”
Youxue said, “I can now understand why it is so difficult to assault the Holy Hex Sect and why the Honor Manor isalmost the entire fraternity”
Everyone was looking at Youxue
Yi Ping asked, “Why?”
Youxue said coolly, “The wind directions are alwaysdown the slope It is easy to utilize fire attacks It does seem that these smaller clans are cannon fodders for the major orthodox clans to exhaust the combustible materials of the Holy Hex Sect before they make their final move”
She paused for a while before she said, “Even as we speak, there are dozens of fighters approaching us fro, you have better explained that we are on your side or we be burnt alive”
Ding Yun smiled, “Or be crushed by boulders…”
Yujian had readied her fingers while Mei’Er aving the Divine Eled, “Or arrows…”
Yi Ping immediately shouted, “Heyyyyyy…we are allies and not foes!!! We are the friends of your Holy Maiden!!!”
His martial shout was extraordinary powerful and i back from all directions!
