Ch. 19.1 With Their Own Ability

Wei Liang rushed to Qian Qi Pass with Lin Jiu.

He held on to her wrist, and with just a small tap on his feet, they travelled in a sharp arc and landed a dozen miles away. Once again, he lightly tapped to get some momentum, and flew by another dozen miles.

If someone were about to ask how Lin Jiu felt at this moment—

She would say that she felt like a jumping frog, but from high above. It was as if her heart was tied on a fine strung that was suddenly wrenched up, and then the next moment pulled down. She held tightly onto the side of Wei Liang’s robe as her eyes took in the scene around her.

The flat land had already been completely devastated by the evil clan, and there were traces of blood and fire everywhere. Could this place really be used to gather spirits and auras?

She dared to sneak into the secret realm because of two reasons: one was to raise her cultivation base to achieve the Golden Core Stage to deal with the various traps in the secret realm; the other was to obtain the Red Lotus’ ultimate move.

At this moment, there was not even a bit of green left in this land destroyed by the evil clan. The houses and palaces that were once built there were completely leveled, and nothing precious could have possibly been preserved.

Occasionally, the evil creatures would realize the two of them passing by. The weaker ones would already lose sight of them before they could even gain their focus, while the stronger ones, who opened their wings to pounce at them, were turned into ice sculptures by Wei Liang, and pinned down like dead mosquitoes.

In what seemed like no time at all, Wei Liang and Lin Jiu arrived outside of Qian Qi Pass.

She could only see a pale green fortress from afar, but as they approached, the simplicity of it caught her attention and left her quite breathless.

Half of the Qian Qi Pass was built on a mountain, while the other half was built on a rock wall on a mountain cliff. The fortress looked like a scary blue-gray beast, coldly overlooking the land. It was surrounded by copper water to prevent attacks from the evil clan, and after the passing of years and war, scars of blood and fire on the wall could be seen everywhere.

Wei Liang’s gaze landed on the observatory deck halfway up the mountain where many high-ranking demons were circling in the air, like a big black tumor was growing on the blue-gray fortress.

A swarm of demons was pouring in from the bottom of the fortress, most of them rushing through the barrier to get to the flat land. There was also a small group that was following the stone steps at the bottom of the fortress to the observatory deck.

The demons slightly backed away when an explosion erupted.

In between the lights and the fire, a clear and pleasant female voice could be heard from the observatory deck.

“Master—”

Wei Liang landed lightly on the observation deck wall like a bird. Three of the swordsmen had been fighting for quite some time. Lin Qing Yin fought while recharging her vitality. They were surrounded by mostly infant demons, but there were ten great demons among them.

Fortunately, the observation deck was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The three of them occupied a good place and their defense was very stable. If they could hang on until Liu Qing Yin completely recharged, the three could eventually launch a powerful counterattack with their swords.

Wei Liang’s gaze stopped on Qing Yun Xi for a while.

Qing Yun Xi bowed down with his gaze low. “Master.” He stopped, he balanced the long sword on his fingertips, passed it to Wei Liang and said, “Master’s sword.”

Wei Liang took the long sword over from Qing Yun Xi’s hands with a hum, and his long delicate fingers wrapped around the grip of the sword.

As soon as he touched it, a clear glow burst from the blade. He swung it casually like a fan, and the demons surrounding the observatory deck fell off the platform after being struck by the sword. Mu Rong Chun and Liu Qing Yin immediately felt the pressure on them lessen.

Liu Qing Yin returned and landed right in front of Wei Liang, as light as a butterfly. She only managed to smile halfway when she suddenly saw Wei Liang’s arm resting on Lin Jiu’s waist, and her heart sank to rock bottom.

“Master…” She bit her lips and looked at him pleadingly. “Senior Brother risked his life to lead the demons to the south, it was so dangerous! Fourth Brother also became seriously injured to save me! “

She was just using others to express how upset she felt, but Wei Liang ignored it.

“Why is Yun Xi here?” he asked.

“He knew that I was killing demons at the river, and Senior Brother rushed here even when he didn’t completely recover. Luckily he came in time, or might have already…”

Although Liu Qing Yin’s words faltered, but the grievance in her eyes said it clearly—why would you choose to save her but not me? Is it because she’s weak?! You chose to put the three of us in danger and leave us here to fend for ourselves for such a cowardly and incompetent woman!

“Master!” Liu Qing Yin cried out in anger. Jealousy made her slightly confused. “Fourth Brother had already been hurt when he barged into Ji Yuan’s formation to help you! And Senior Brother just took the Gu Yuan grass medicine, and had to drag his sick body this far to help… Each of us tried our very best, so how can you still have a clear conscience while fooling around!”

Mu Rong Chun hurriedly defended against another wave of attack from the demons, and when he came back, he smiled as he tried to smoothen the situation. “Sister, don’t worry, I’m fine. Nothing happened to me, and Senior Brother is also fine! Now that Master is here, we should prepare to break through! Although Senior Brother had already lured the big monsters who were chasing us out of the gate, but I reckon that they are about to return. We shouldn’t stay here for long!”
